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:The Holocaust is a difficult topic to deal with as subject matter for a work of art; its horrors have been explicitly brought to light countless times in several different formats and knowledge of these horrors has pervaded our society such that nearly everyone has been exposed to them in some way or another. In order to tell an effective story about the Holocaust, one must do more than shock the reader with the evils that took place in concentration camps or Jewish ghettos--this has been do... Read more

Review:LANDLINE
4.95 STARS
I just can't bring myself to give this book a full 5 stars for two reasons.
1)A few tiny details bothered me.
2)I know this is really bad.... but I didn't like it as much as Fangirl. I'm not really comparing, I just think that they deserve even a minuscule difference in the ratings because I don't feel the same way about Landline as Fangirl.... but I still really loved it.... I'm about to tell you why.....just be patient.

Okay, so I've read all 4 of Rainbow... Read more

Review:Just from the title of this novel....Death Stalks Kettle Street, I knew I was in for a fresh murder, mystery treat. John Bowen has written a fab novel that you will not want to put down. Greg is a treasure trove full of endearing and at times heartbreaking emotions, we see him battling every single day, living with severe OCD as he pushes himself to overcome the smallest task, most of us take for granted. Beth is just as lovely, an aspiring writer, who lives with Celebral Palsy, totally opposit... Read more

Review:Wordy, talky, slow moving, and dull, Milne's The Red House Mystery could not hold my interest. My Kindle said I was 49% through the book when I put it aside and decided to read a different book. Milne is known more for Winnie the Pooh than for mystery writing, and this book shows why.

Review:Perhaps genius would be too strongly stated for the elegantly understated writing of Mr. Haddon. But he has a wonderful and rare ability to draw you in, and have you keep turning pages, settling deeper and deeper into the domestic world he's created on these pages. I found myself chuckling in recognition of the 61-year-old who was afraid to undress because he didn't want to notice anything new on his skin. The author uses the device of making each chapter sprout from a different character's poin... Read more

Review:Old Cowboys and ruthless villains are my favorite characters to read about. This book is full of action, suspense and adventure. It also tells a great love story. Powerful women hardened by life find a way to survive and still manage to love. Read more

Review:The best, of course, being the first book in this series, "Lonesome Dove". I'm not sure whether McMurtry ever intended to write more books featuring Gus McCrae & Woodrow Call, but I'm certainly glad he did. And it's only fitting, somehow, that the book that says on its cover, "the final volume of the Lonesome Dove story", be almost as good as the first.
We learn about some of the things that Gus and Woodrow referred to in that first book. We learn something about why Jake is the w... Read more

Review:There are no bad Louis L'Amour books, but Hondo is one of a hand full of the truly great westerns by L'Amour. The only problem is that it is impossible to stop reading once you start. I recommend starting to read this book early on a weekend morning and make lots of coffee in the evening because you can't put it down. Read more

Review:The big sky a look into the life of the old west and the mountain man

It is a hard book to review. This is as much a story of the passing of the mountain man and the taming of the west as anything else, and as such, the author did the subject justice. The main character, Boone Coddle, starts in a violent confrontation with his drunken father and laying him out with a piece of stove wood, and stealing his prize rifle, and heading to the west to be a mountain man. He seems to be about ten y... Read more
