Review:I received an advance copy of this book from Netgalley. I loved the storyline. The descriptive detailing left you with a clear picture of the book. My heart ached for Maggie who felt responsible for her daughters death. I do feel that the climax of the story could have been faster. Read more

Review:A sweet, light read. No serious violence and no serious sex. This author is not one for whose new output I would be waiting expectantly. But the book sold (to me), and I finished it. I feel totally free to recommend it for my teen-aged nieces. Read more

Review:This is a very thought provoking story on many levels. The characters were interesting. I loved Maggie; Michael was complex as was June; Shay an enigma -- I just couldn't figure out who or what he really was even to the very end. Perhaps the author wanted to leave the reader guessing. I also found myself asking what I would have done were I in June's situation. I think in the end she made the right choice. All in all it was a good read. Read more

Review:Ladinsky reinvents poems, songs, and even prose passages from twelve renowned saints, imposing modern idioms on the original material. This sounds sacrilegious, yet surprisingly it actually works. The saints' words come back to life, perhaps not always in forms the original author would recognize, but in ways that speak eloquently to today's reader. Read more

Review:I have not read all the prior books. Most people who gave this a low rating, mentioned too much back story. Actually, while the backstory is continually hinted at, it is NOT explained enough to understand. I have zero idea of who all these people are, what they are doing or how they got into any of the situations they are in.

None of the characters is the least bit more than a name Since we are not told how the current situation has evolved, it is mighty hard to imagine SO many people ... Read more

Review:In their second YA novel, Erin Watt narrates the story of Beth, a seventeen year old girl who lost her sister to a car accident three years ago. Beth wants to party, have fun and make stupid decisions during her last school year, but her parents are constantly trying to smother her with their unreasonable rules and extreme reactions. In a desperate act of rebellion, Beth ends up in a party full of strangers and meets the most gorgeous guy she’s ever seen. There’s just one small problem, one she... Read more

Review:I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend, and because I am generally a fan of B.J. Novak (I love The Office and I find Novak's childrens' book hilarious). I was a little disappointed. I expected a lot more laugh-out-loud moments. Instead a got a few chuckles and mostly a lot of, for lack of a better word, weirdness. It's not a bad read, just kind of odd. The short-story format is nice for a busy schedule (I picked it up and read a story or two at a time when I could find a few m... Read more

Review:The story is dated, even for 1994. The characters are stereotypes; the cold English professor, self-centered daughter, egotistical law student boyfriend. Cancer treatment had progressed beyond the author's knowledge, particularly pain management . (I have personal experience.) Suicide is one of the first things considered. The author missed the opportunity to develop the mother's dilemma-helping your family who she protected for so many years through her death. In an interview the author admitte... Read more

Review:I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very different from the typical romance novel. I enjoyed switching from the present time to the past and back to the present again. This was true of both main characters and it made for a very interesting read. Read more

Review:I really love this set,

I highly enjoy the Fullmetal Alchemist series,
you get the entire Manga series plus an extra Novel, buying each book cost almost $10 each which cost all together 280 bucks but now you can get for a 125 dollars

If you want the entire manga series, well you could not get any cheaper than this set I highly Suggest you buy this set. Read more
