Review:I thought I was educated before, but this wonderful book taught me new reading skills and whetted my appetite for the classics. Though I went to a good high school and college, I spent most of my time hearing about how "great" the Great Books were, without being much encouraged to sit down and crack one open. The Well-Educated Mind has helped to change that, which is why I disagree with the negative review posted earlier on this page. Maybe we "should" have learned how, why, and what to read i...

Review:The great classic are for everyone and a book like this one shows how everyone, from whatever background originally, can come to learn to appreciate the great classics that we have all come to know and love. You too can appreciate great literature - you don't need a Harvard degree to love Jane Austen or the novel Moby Dick. Greatness is within your grasp - get out there and change your life today!

Review:This book, Phonics Pathways started out with "acknowledgements". It then had a lengthy introduction. Then the reader journeys through "About Phonics Pathways". Then there was a discourse on "Getting Started". Then it had an article, "About Dewey". All of that before delivering anything informative about phonics. It did offer some good tools for teaching phonics after 12 pages of "stuff'. The tools it provided is the only reason my score for this book isn't lower. Read more

Review:The best books on the market. Literally. I practically bought every book on the market for my toddler and this is BY FAR the VERY BEST. I bought the level one pack and the level 2 already. I'll definitely get level 3. These books are the best, most interactive way to teach your child to read. I love the fact that they have just one or two lines of clear text per page to help children concentrate on the words. The size is perfect too. Big enough to read words clearly and small to stash into trave... Read more

Review:Terrible terrible book it makes no sense any of it even on a good day.!!! We were very disappointed. He was such a talented person that I would not expect him to have this type of book and it was a gift because it was for an adult so I figured it would be a little bit more racing but the things inside of it if you read it make no sense whatsoever. The only reason this has one star is because it will not let me put this on without putting something in the stars and it will not let me put just a... Read more

Review:The book was in horrible condition when I received it. Pages were folded, crinkled and the back cover is being held on by 2 small sloppy pieces of decorative tape. This book needs to be taken out of circulation. Read more

Review:'Fascists are inferior people who believe it when somebody tells them they're superior.'

We read the memoirs of the last president of the USA, now 100 years old and living on the Island of Death, Manhattan. A plague has decimated the island population. He isn't senile, but he has these hiccups.
The essence of this light novelette is not politics or the apocalypse, it is the relationship of the hero with his twin sister. Together they are genius, separated they are just average. Apart f... Read more

Review:I have been reading/singing this book with my preschool/early elementary classes for years and it never ceases to amuse and delight my listeners. Now I see that there are more in the series. I'll have to check them out. The book is humorous, delightfully illustrated and teaches a good lesson about what is truly of value in a person. Read more

Review:I read materials on financial literacy and I found this book to be one of the BEST! It is well written and super focused on BUDGETING --- complete and comprehensive... no fluff ... no filler... IT is also very well complemented with How To INCREASE One's Earnings. Everyone should have this in his/her finance library .... every student, parent, financial coach and everyone. Anyone who follows the road_map in the book will unshackle himself/herself from the Paycheck to Paycheck trap. This book is ... Read more

Review:I absolutely loved this book. I was actually pretty sad when I neared the end of it so soon. I took this book everywhere with me--to lunch, on the bus, everywhere. And where ever I was, I was laughing out loud. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys teaching. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys learning. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys laughing, and appreciating the wonders that children provide.

When I read his book quoted in the last page of a magazine, I imm... Read more
