Review:Wonderful storyteller telling a wonderful story. Just when I thought I could not read a better book set in India and Kashmir, along comes Ms. Roy and blows me away with another wonderful tale set in that exotic, mysterious place. Thank you Ms. Roy. Read more

Review:I could not get into this book, although I did get to the end through a combination of reading and skimming. The jumping around in time was confusing, and none of the characters was particularly compelling. I also found the (apparent) mix of memoir and fiction annoying. I would definitely not recommend this book. Read more

Review:This great Dumas book is grossly ill served here by Maplewood/Mapleleaf publishing. It is filled throughout with typographical and other errors that should have been properly checked and corrected prior to publication, and which obviously were not. Amazon/Kindle should not be selling this book in this condition at all! Because of the errors throughout, the enjoyment of reading this story dwindles with each page. The publishers (Maplewood/Mapleleaf) obviously did NO proofing of this large novel a... Read more

Review:The hero is mighty and just. Despite inner-turmoils regarding love, family, morality, and life, the hero shows infinite compassion to his companions and absolutely no mercy to his enemies.

Welcome to an entirely different kind of medieval fantasy.

If you're sick of all of the monotony of modern medieval fantasy, this series comes highly recommended. I'm a bit of a veteran of medieval fantasy and science fiction, and let me tell you, this book takes the age old cliches and turns the... Read more

Review:Uh, I think I was expecting something different, but maybe not since it turned out it's exactly what the title promises, which is basically how to suck out all the joy from reading a book for pleasure and capturing a book's insights from that pleasure and not because you're looking for ways to fulfill your own ideological agenda as someone lucky enough to have a job for life. It did sort of make me recall how a lot of professors rip al the fun out of a book when they start deconstructing it. An... Read more

Review:So off the beaten romance path. In a grand way! The. characters are so odd in a loveable want to hang out with them and be a part of their odd circle. Brewster is the best friend everyone should have. Read more

Review:This has the funniest poems, incredibly charming, very clever. Our test reader is nine, and this is definitely a new favorite. Will be fun to read a!one, or with a group. If gets a place on the favorites shelf. While it is hard to pick, two winners are the lazy alphabet one, and the island where everyone is named Toby. Read more

Review:Five stars for being a good chicklit story that doesn’t touch on themes that usually grate my nerves. Instead we are introduced to likable characters and realistic situations, with a strong (though not invincible) female lead.

Emmy catches her long-term boyfriend cheating on her on the first page, while they’re vacationing at a little French guesthouse. After Nathan leaves with his new floozy, the guesthouse manager suffers an injury and Emmy decides to stay on to help with the guesthouse... Read more
