My Review of the Game Eurorails which we played on this Thursday’s game night is available at Amazon.com here.

I have two quick YouTube videos available the first when we saw the game.

And the second a round-up of by the players who played, what they thought.

Bottom line, good game but too much luck.

My review of the 4th book in the Ethan Gage series The Barbary Pirates by William Dietriclh from the Amazon vine program is available at Amazon.com here.

If you look in the dictionary for an example of the expression “Too much of a good thing”, this title will be there.

Inglorious Bastards: Amazon Review

My review of the DVD Inglorious Bastards staring Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz and Melanie Laurent. (Yes I know there are bigger names in the film but they are the characters that drive it.) is available at Amazon.com here.

I was very surprised when I saw this come in NetFlix, the wife got it for Brad Pitt and had no idea what she was getting into.

Oh and I know my reading and reviews have fallen behind. I’m nearly done with The Barbary Pirates and hope to start The War Lovers tomorrow. If I finish Dietrich’s book early enough I’ll try to get a review up before midnight. If not I’ll have both reviews on the plate for next weekend.

Update: For reasons I can’t understand this post gets an awful lot of attention lately, if you stopped by leave a comment to let me know why.

My review through the Amazon Vine program of Edward Achorn’s soon to be published book: Fifty-Nine in ’84: Old Hoss Radbourn, Barehanded Baseball, and the Greatest Season a Pitcher Ever Had is available at Amazon.com here.

If you saw me at CPAC you might have noticed me toting that book around I had just finished it when this picture was taken by the Lonely Conservative.

It is due for release March 16th. If you want to learn both about the 19th century and the baseball they played it is certainly the book for you.
