Review:Wow! What a wonderful series that keeps you wanting to read more. A great series for students struggling to like reading. I download the Audible with the Kindle version. The reader is wonderfully done, great use of different voices. Read more

Review:Absolutely awesome book series. Easy to keep up with. As you read you can't help but relate to the normal human issues. As I read I would get anxious to see how the story would end and it did not disappoint. Looking forward to the next book. Read more

Review:cannot argue with the writing, or the material and ideas that he presents -- lots of philosophical and metaphorical discussions -- lots of fun -- but it digresses often, and I didn't get very connected to any of the characters -- found myself skipping pages to get to the point of a chapter after a while. my husband read it also, and found himself doing the same thing.

Review:The Magic Tree House books are a MUST READ collection for all children. Unlike many other series for young readers, the Magic Tree House should be read in chronological order to best appreciate Jack and Annie's travels through time as they go on various missions; which are typically completed in four parts.

There are much, much better books on idioms:
Tedd Arnold- Parts, More Parts, Even More Parts
Super Silly Sayings That Are Over Your Head, Catherine Snodgrass
There’s a Frog In My Throat, Loreen Leedy

Review:You love 20th-century literature (fiction) and came to this this book astonished by the Booker prizes (yes, plural!) it won and already bracing for an amazing reading experience?

Well, my advice is: think twice before buying it. This may be the most overrated book I have come across in my whole life. You can't relate to any character (no likeable chars at all); you can't tell whether this is history (the author famously deleted some words for political reasons, as he himself notes in the ...

Review:This is a beautiful tale about a family from Kashmir. The father is an ambassador with a modern-minded daughter in the U.S. Their earlier life in Kashmir follows them to the U.S. As usual for Rushdie, this novel is filled with wonderful prose along with touches of magical realism. Read more

Review:A great Russian classic but in the traditional Russian genre. Very descriptive writing of people and places with the "normal" tragic Russian ending. Turgenev easily captures the soul of Russian writers of the 18th century. Read more

Review:I love everything Iris Johansen has written. I've followed all the book's about Eve and was glad to finaly know what happened to Bonnie. It was well written and was glad she ended it the way she choose to. Read more
