Sentence structure is often convoluted and poorly constructed.6. [Reviewer for []]. I enjoyed this book. This is a great Joke book for that kid that has every elephant joke memorized. The back of the book lists all the negative numbers so you can order prints from the Library of Congress and in fact see 60,000 photos from the FSA/OWI collection on the Library's `American Memory' website.Because of what these photographs show, the quality of presentation and production, I think this will become the definitive reference book for the period. For the same amount money buy Kaplan Qdatabase.. I found one section (pages 230 to 235) called `The Middletown Spirit' very intriguing, it is a list of the things that the folks of `Middletown' (or small towns anywhere) believed in and as well as the goodness that one would expect it also reflects an alarming collection of deeply conservative beliefs, ethnic prejudice and a Horatio Alger like deference towards business. Andrew WK would approve.. The clerk could not help me, and she could not find the answ'If I read a sadder, truer, wiser chapter in a book this year I will count myself fortunate Aitkenhead's loss was our gain' The Times 'An exemplary memoir However magnificent and powerful the book, you know it pales in comparison with the loss' Sunday Times 'This book is impossible to forget It reminds one that grief is about transformation, the loss of old moorings, a new permission to put the heart first- a sea change' Observer 'Astonishing Aitkenhead has produced a work of art' Evening Standard 'An extraordinary memoir, a beautifully written account of life, love and what is left of both after tragedy Utterly heart-breaking but it's also a brave and honest account of grief and its aftermath that will stay with you long after you finish the last page' DaiWhen Decca and Tony first met a decade earlier, they became the most improbable couple in London. He was a dreadlocked criminal with a history of drug-dealing and violence. I don't mind at all if you forget this. The important thing is that I don't.' On a hot still morning on a beautiful beach in Jamaica, Decca Aitkenhead's life changed for ever. Her four-year-old boy was paddling peacefully at the water's edge when a wave pulled him out to sea. Her partner, Tony, swam out and saved their son's life - then drowned before her eyes. She was an award-winning Guardian journalist, famous for interviewing leading politicians. No one thought the romance would last, but it did. If I never told it to a soul, and this book did not exist, it would not cease to be true. Exploring race and redemption, privilege and prejudice, ALL AT SEA is a remarkable story of love and loss, of how one couple changed each other's lives and of what a sudden death can do to the people who survive.. 'The thing to remember about this story is that every word is true. Until the tide swept Tony away, plunging Decca into the dark chasm of random tragedy
