Review:Last Words by Shari Ryan

There has not been a book that has touched me as deep as Last Words has. A truly mesmerizing web of complexity that has completely intertwined past history and present day.
No where else will you find a story so thought provoking that it stays with you long after the last page, the last sentence, the last word. A hauntingly beautiful romance
that spans a lifetime of history. Amelia is 91 years old and she has kept hidden a secret for 74 years. But now th... Read more

Review:I always love reading C. S. Lewis, but his books are never easily read in a short amount of time. This little book allows you to latch onto a simple thought for one day - and ponder it. Great daily reading. Read more

Review:I was reading Ex Libris as my 9-year-old daughter Sarah was reading a Marguerite Henry book. I laughed out loud, and Sarah wanted to know why, so I read her a passage from Ms. Fadiman's essay on taking care of books. There are two camps of booklovers: the "words are everything" group, into which the entire Fadiman family, as voracious a bunch of readers as you could imagine, belongs. They write in margins, dog-ear pages, break spines. To them, a book is merely a container for the thoughts i... Read more

Review:Malcolm is fun. He's got a different perspective. A super intellectual he's not (nor am I), but he's a solid writer and asks questions others don't. I'd recommend this book and his others. I'd also recommend a haircut, but that's his personal choice. Read more

Review:People will think your crazy as you laugh out loud to the book of short stories by Sedaris . I read the book on vacation at the jersey shore and I couldn't put the book down, whether I was by the pool or at the beach; I had to have it with me at all times.
This book would be worth it if it only had 2 stories in it, those being C.O.G and Naked. though funny as hell, this book isn't easy on Sedaris's family or for himself for that matter. he lays all on the line in a book no one should pass up. Read more

Review:Some amusing anecdotes but overall not that funny and lots of time spent on mundane activities.

Can't really relate to some of his generalizations about how horrible some groups of people are either. Read more

Review:One of the best books I've read in awhile. Clever, laugh out load funny and over the top real, Meaty is a treat for the heart, soul and mind. A must read for those who want to embrace all things, good, bad and indifferent that makes us human. Read more

Review:I have a fond spot for this book. It can be dry in spots and I'm always left wishing that he said more about his own works (although I also respect him for not taking the opportunity to tout his own works). One of the only things I disagree with is the inclusion of 'The House Next Door'. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent story but I wouldn't put it up there with the others mentioned by any means.
This edition comes with a new foreword about more recent movies but I really can't help wishing ... Read more

Review:I was under the impression I was paying for the whole series of 5 books. I only received the pictured book which was Petals in the Wind which is the second in the series I believe. Received full refund and was allowed to keep the book. Read more

Review:John Flanagan moves the Ranger's Apprentice series forward in flawless fashion. While our young hero, Will, is older now, Mr. Flanagan has aged him believably and Will continues to be a vibrant and rich character. Anyone that has read the previous books in the series knows Mr. Flanagan is a master at ending a book with an old style cliff hanger that is reminiscent of the nearly forgotten pulp stories of yesteryear. This book is no exception. The ending leaves you hanging and wanting more. F... Read more
