Review:Beautiful illustrations! The actually quality of the book is very nice as well. However, the pictures create a way out there description of immigration. I get the gist of the story, but for the most part it was hard to follow and I lost interest. My children had no interest in it at all. Read more

Review:Have you ever listened to a wonderful storyteller tell a wonderfully long story with an ending that just makes you say, tell the story again? That is Aristotle and Dante. I finished the prose-like story and wanted to go back - to see the clues that were so obvious now.
I want to say more, but I will give too much away. It is a story that touched me and I have already passed the book on to two other friends.
You fascinate me, Benjamin Alire Saenz. Read more
Review:I love these songs! My favorites are the Old Testament and New Testament songs, which make it so much easier to learn where to find the books of the Bible once these songs are learned!
I had learned these songs as a child in Sunday School, and my children learned them in Sunday school and with the help of this tape, and now I am going to use this CD version to teach them to my grandchildren and the children at my church. Read more
Review:Seth drowns and wakes up in abandonment in his old neighborhood in England. Through dreams and other events, he relives his life. Then he starts wondering: is this death, is this hell, what is reality and what is false?
It was boring for the first 1/4 but I was a bit interested in knowing what would happen.
It didn't get remotely interesting until part 2, after he meets Regene and Tomasz in his town. Around here it went from 1.5 starts to about 2 stars.
By the time part 3 came ar... Read more
Review:Wow... How does Colleen Hoover do it yall? Time after time she writes these ridiculously emotional novels that wreak havoc on my poor little heart, and All Your Perfects was no exception to that statement. This novel is a little darker than others that I've read from her, but it is so important and relevant to what so many people are struggling with in the world today. I don't want to give too much away and spoil it for you, so I won't dig too deeply.
I love the fact that Hoover has the a... Read more
Review:'Brideshead Revisited', Evelyn Waugh's finest non-satirical novel, is concerned with the operation of divine grace on a group of diverse but closely-connected characters and the decline of the English aristocracy and their stately homes. The novel is a panegyric and a valediction and expresses a yearning for a lost Aracadia and a loathing for the changing world (see Henry Wallace's 'Century of the Common Man' speech). Although there are many passages of buffonery the themes are romantic (homos... Read more
Review:Without merit
Without merit was uniquely different. I had no idea where it was going to take me. I was really like “come on give me a clue.” I was told my many keep reading, and I was so glad I did. The Voss family is strange but what family isn’t.
I really felt for Merit. Her character was one I could relate to. She was struggling with everything in her day to day life. It took an outsider to have her really take a good look at herself. To help her see the bigger picture so to sp... Read more
Review:Never read an Agatha Christie novel but was inspired to purchase one from watching a Doctor Who episode. I purchased the 1960s hardcover edition and it looks like it got here from a time machine itself. The cover, inside binding, and pages look brand new. Very happy Read more
