Reviewed by Lynn Fowlston for Readers' Favorite
Anything dealing with the Civil War Era has always held an interest for me, whether books, movies or reenactments. Living close to an area where reenactments are carried out, I watch but really do not pay that much attention to the re-enactors. Once More into the Breach takes the reader inside the camp and introduces you to the people, history, and the experiences of reenacting. Written by an actual re-enactor, the book takes you through the daily routine. If you are going to play the part, then you need to act the part: that means no Rolex watches on your wrist, or cell phones hooked to your belt. If you think it would be fun and would like to be a re-enactor, then I advise you to read the book first and then see if you have what it takes. The author discusses issues such as: having a partner and putting safety first; setting up one's tents and keeping up-to-date items hidden; and the cost of and the actual playing the part during a reenactment.
As a spectator, nothing is more exciting than to watch history played out before your eyes as these men, women, and, yes, even children bring history alive. Why do they do it? It's a hobby; they love the history, and they dedicate their weekends to playing out the part. No matter the weather, the insects, the blazing sun and heat, they are there for your enjoyment. The next time you see a reenactment being held close to your town, drop by and visit these folks. Reading the book first would give you a lot better knowledge of what they are doing and why they are doing it.

Non-Fiction - General
Reviewed by Anne Boling for Readers' Favorite
Sue’s Nightmare by Dean Roberts reminded me that ultimately we are responsible for our health and medical treatment. While I know that doctors and other medical personnel are mere humans, they sometimes forget that fact. In their arrogance they forget they are treating a fellow human being and begin to look upon patients in disdain. In Sue’s Nightmare we meet one such instance.
Sue Roberts was a happily married woman very much in love with and by her husband. Her nightmare began at a dinner party where Sue fell when her knee collapsed causing her to fall and sustain a hard bump on her head. So began the first mistake. A blood test caused a misdiagnosis and labeled Sue as an alcoholic, this lead to the doctor pumping her full of numerous medications which she did not need. Sue’s nightmare had just begun. Her husband, Dean Roberts begged the doctors to listen to him as he stated unequivocally she was not an alcoholic. Common sense tells me that the spouse deserves the respect of the medical personnel. If they had just listened and ran a new blood test much of the nightmare could have been averted or at least lessened. Sue faced more than one surgery because of incompetence. After being label an alcoholic the staff lost sympathy for Sue and ignored her pain. The negligence of the hospital and staff caused the doctors to overlook an important medical problem that they should have caught. Sue had cancer but it was left untreated for too long.
This book is must read. It is a warning for each of us: be proactive when it comes to your health, be informed, demand your rights and know that you deserve respect. I hope that Roberts received a little relief from writing this. I wish him well and my deepest sympathy.

Calling All Boomers

Non-Fiction - General
Reviewed by Anne Boling for Readers' Favorite
Randall D. Howard transports readers to the past. Howard reminds us how Baby Boomers changed the world. Howard was an entrepreneur at an early age. He sold fireworks to kids in the neighborhood. Of course he pointed out the safety regulations. His customer Greg ratted on him and his business ended abruptly. His next venture was as a paperboy.
Howard brings back memories of JFK, prayer in school, bell bottom pants, Three Dog Night, Black Sabbath, the draft, Vietnam, Elton John, the Cold War Neil Armstrong and 8 track tape players.
Howard writes in a humorous style. Throughout his book, in a nonthreatening manner he shares his witness. He begins by discussing his family's involvement or lack of in church. He continues by discussing the times he prayed frivolously. A summer mission trip with the Methodist made a difference in his life. "Now God and I were getting along fine during this time. I did my weekly Christian commute and he left me alone for the rest of the week. There was obviously no way he could vie for my attention with all that was going on in my life at that time." He "fell away" from God for a while. He came to recognize the void in his life and began searching for proof of God. After much research he finally turned to the Bible. He found God again!
Calling All Boomers is more than a look at the past. It is Randall D. Howard's story. It is his witness to the power of God and it is an invitation to a closer walk with Jesus Christ.
I immensely enjoyed reading Calling All Boomers. The message is heartwarming. The humor will keep you reading. Well done Mr. Howard.
