Review:It Happened to Nancy is a touching story that every teenage girl should read. It shows you that you are not the only one that goes through things such as rape or AIDS. Nancy was a very brave girl who should have had the chance to live. I love how this book shows that she was confused and needed help because most of us do. The questions and answers at the end of the book were very helpful. Read more

Review:This first-person journal-style book "tracks" the anaorexic journey of a normal teen girl.

The narrator is a cross-country runner. Her coach has warned the team of eating disordered athletes and insists that all runners complete a food diary to ensure that they are eating sufficient calories to maintain their physical fitness. The narrator--I'll call her "Ana" though she remains unnamed throughout--does this. She's committed to her team and her success as a runner. Her BFF, Jill, is a bal... Read more

Review:I first read this book in a Louisiana high school history course MANY years ago, and this was my first time to revisit the work. While Warren’s book is commonly listed as a classic of political literature, on this rereading I discovered a much deeper philosophical vein. I am probably practicing literary criticism & philosophy without a license here, but I believe the book – in addition to prose that verges on poetry – is a profound reflection on human nature. Furthermore, I am not certain th... Read more

Review:I fell in love with Taylor Jenkins Reid's writing the first time I read her debut novel, Forever, Interrupted, and have since read every book she's written as soon as I can get my hands on them. Needless to say, I had her newest, One True Loves, pre-ordered and dove right in as soon as it was delivered. I was once again absolutely delighted with the complex, emotional story she presented, one that had me not only eager to see how the characters would react to the impossible-seeming situation but...

Review:I'm guessing that the name Helen Vaughan was taken from Diana Vaughan of the Leo Taxil scandal in France during the same period Pan was written. Check out The Prague Cemetary written by Umberto Eco. Diana Vaughan was a creature of Satan. Read more

Review:This book is great. The author writes for the New Yorker, Esquire and The Simpsons, so I figured the book would have the cleverness and (occasional) subtlety that makes humor work. It defintely did. There were lots of great scenes and lines. The best friend character is particularly well done. This seems destined to be a movie, but, as always, the book captures the thoughts of the characters in a way that movies never can, so don't wait for the movie. Read more

Review:Good story even if you have never seen the movie. If you have seen the movie, there are nice details the movie couldn't bring to the screen and the characters will be familiar with more details into Holly's family. Read more

Review:Good condition, and on-time (early) shipping. But the price sticker was on the cover and hard to get off (took some of the cardboard-style cover with it when it did). It also did not come with a dust cover--sad. Just ok, not great. I LOVE this book though, and got this copy signed by the author--so it is mine for life. Read more

Review:This was a great sequel to Chocolat with enough new material to make it interesting. I would recommend it to holiday readers. The only issue I had was that as I have seen the movie Chocolate Johnnie Depp is not a read head! Read more
