Slovak history 101
This was a great book.It explained the history of the various Slovak people and our great heritage.Being of Slovak decent I found this very informative and a lot of my family legends make since due to what happened in our peoples history.There are not many books on the Slovaks but this is a must have for anyone interested.Note that Mr. Oddo wrote this book before the fall of the iron curtain so it ends with the Soviet occupation.But that doesn't change the other 9000 years of history here.I highly recommend this book. ...

Another holocaust novel?
Mr. Bloch has been able to capture in this novel a more personal side to this tragic period in history. It was very easy to become involved in the book. He has been able to portray pivotal incidents throughout his ordealin a very clear manner which helps give a better perspective, perhaps, thanother 'historical' novels on the same subject. Just imagine having to workin the same hospital as Dr. Mengela while he was conducting his medical'studies'; or watch as trainloads carrying thousands of ordinary people areushered into the camps, minutes away from separation, torture, and death.Mr. Bloch displays real courage and amazing good fortune throughout thisstory and is able to relate the real tragedy of this dark period of historyin a very personal way. ...

a narrow picture of identity in the Czech Republic
Holy claims to be writing about the 'Czech nation' and thus very irresponsibly lumps Moravians into that grouping.This is my main complaint.As an anthropologist who has done fieldwork in the area, it seems elementary to make this distinction.Holy is Czech and this may be the best explanation for his neglect ...

Visiting Slovakia: A sexy, non-stop edge of your seat horror
Only a few people outside of Sweden and Australia have read "Visiting Slovakia" by Goff McGee--a fact which is quite unfortunate considering the books enormity, good aura, and all round goodness.The book is 400 pages long.The first 297 of those pages are absolute dribble.In fact, they were so bad, I considered shooting my self in the face rather than finish it.However, being the book reviewer that I am, I mustered up enough willpower and finished the novel.To my surprise, really started to touch base with me.Around 298, the novel leaps into romantic escapades, adolescent (sp?) high jinx (sp?), tales of international espionage, government conspiracy, and did I mention TONS of really SWEET explosions. Would I go to Slovakia?Probably not...the people look really weird.However, WOuld I read this book "Visiting Slovakia", again....Hell YES :o) So I'll conclude and briefly sum some things up.THis book was okay...but...there should be more sex and more explosions, aliens, tractor crashes, car crashes, bus crashes, and photos of hot non-Slovakian women.They shouldn't talk about Slovakia so much because Slovakians look weird and puzzled.Enjoy the book ...
