Bless Me, Ultima
Bless Me, Ultima

Review:When my dad first brought this book to my attention I really wasn't that interested, I bought it reluctantly. Once I stated reading it I was hooked, as a Hispanic I felt so connected with the characters. I recommend this book to everyone, whether you are Hispanic or not this is a beautiful tale of a culture. I promise this book will pull at your heart strings. Read more

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

Review:This book contains all the lessons we need to know to lead a successful life. It is a reminder that we learned long ago the lessons we need in Kindergarten to be successful at whatever endeavor we choose. I recently used those lessons with my high school graduating seniors. It is worth repeating because I feel we have forgotten the lessons. Arthur L. Williams Ph.D. Principal Ann Arbor Huron High School. Read more

It Was On Fire When I Lay Down On It

Review:You can always count on Robert Fulghum's books to be a good read. Truth, wisdom with a touch of humor. It is true, if our world would embrace the "kindergarten principles" then this would be a much better world. Read more

Saints for all Occasions
Saints for all Occasions

Review:The writing style is simple. A lot of telling and not much showing, in short sentences with simple words. Details of the times and places created a believable Irish Catholic world. I appreciated those details, but felt I was learning about this family more than I was caring about them. Read more

A Place for Us
A Place for Us

Review:The book is beautifully written. You get a sense of each characters personalities. Even though this is a Muslim Family it could be any family that has strong religious beliefs. One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Read more

The King in Yellow (Tales of Mystery & the Supernatural)
The King in Yellow (Tales of Mystery & the Supernatural)

Review:The first five stories are fantastic, but the rest have nothing to do with The King in Yellow or the Yellow Myth. They're not even Horror. Though well written, I totally believe that combination is just a horrible idea and ruins the experience for those who come to this book to be scared or, at the very least, challenged to think.
