		<description><![CDATA[And finally, I imagine college kids themselves would appreciate it. After all, Markley recently emerged from those hallowed halls himself. If I was that age, I would be interested in knowing what to expect. I looked on Amazon to see what other readers thought. Several reviewers liked it as much as I did. The reviews were sort of "positive flames" ranting about how great the book is.

		<description><![CDATA[Lots of artists have tried to represent a starry sky, but few of their paintings became famous. What was it about Van Gogh's rendition that was more popular than everyone else's? The difference is not in what he painted but how. Style makes a difference in writing, too. Lots of people write about motoring around the country in a portable home. But Doreen Orion wrote her travel memoir "Queen of the Road" skillfully enough to attract an agent, a publisher, a bookstore, and then a reader (me). I bought it, read it to the end, and enjoyed it enough to share with you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While Firoozeh's neighbors in the United States weren't sure how to relate to her, I had no such confusion. She took me into her confidence and I saw for myself who she was, thanks to her superb command of the English language, and her clever, ironic insights. "She's one of us." I thought. And even better, as a recent entrant into the melting pot, she could share her observations about contrasts between two cultures more clearly than someone limited to seeing things only from within one.]]></description>
