Review:I am reading my way through the John Sandford Prey series and they are very good books. I would say that David Baldacci and others are better but Sandford is still a great writer, it is a great series and great writing. Read more

Review:This is for a younger reader and addresses many issues that I still deal with when struggling with boys and I read this while 22 years old. Enjoyable at most any age I believe. Read her other book first! Read more

Review:This style book has been my favorite for my daughter. The same type animation characters in a bunch of different books, and I have loved them all except this one. It is all right, but the flow is just awkward and on most pages there are only a few words anyway. Read more

Review:The book is a literary classic, the first ever dystopian novel, but I have to say I have enjoyed others in the genre more. The overall story is interesting and the themes of the book are great but the ending and general flow leave something to be desired....atleast for this reader Read more

Review:After seeing a program on PBS about Salinger, I decided to revisit some of work. I had never read For Esme etc and now wish I was in a book club or literature class to really dig into the stories in this book. Salinger's writing is the kind of work that stays with you and you continue to think about it and want to re-read it.

Review:Unfortunately, I did not appreciate this book. I would have rated it a zero if I could have. It did nothing for me. I read "catcher in the Rye" years ago and enjoyed it. Same author but different rating Read more

Review:This book of short stories is very different from J.D. Salinger's previous works, it touches on human emotion and passion. While the stories are beautiful written and well thought it is the last story "Teddy" that catches the greatest human sentiment and feeling of all. Read more

Review:This story was short but it did leave good impressions. Some of the few books that I read and the female character is not skinny but your average body size women. Love it and I definitely recommend it. Read more
