Review:In Knut Hamsun's Hunger, the narrator and protagonist roams the streets of Kristiania (Oslo) and searches for food and later lodging. A writer of questionable success, he submits his writings to a journal but rarely gets the story accepted. Without money, he often doesn't eat for days.
As we read the novel, we dwell into the mind occasionally delusion of a man trying to maintain his dignity in poverty. Though he had no food, he gives money to children and vagrants. And though he fancies a... Read more
Review:I LOVED this book!!! The author really kept my interest. Jake and Tess are the epitome of Swag and Sassy. This story didn't drag and the connection between the two characters was too intense. I kind of wanted Tess to beat Miranda's Ass, then thank her because if it wasn't for her and Amiri, she wouldn't have met Sexy Jake. This is a book I would definitely read again. I look forward to reading more books by Shani Greene-Dowdell. Read more

Review:I have always wanted to read Robert Howard's version of Conan. However, I was a little disappointed. His story can be a little ponderous and I found myself losing track of who was talking, what was happening, etc. I don't think it was "bad", more probably just not a style of writing that I appreciate.

Review:By focusing on small town America of a bygone era, Anderson draws a picture that explains many of our current values. This was an assigned book as part of a writing class which I took, and the author's expository style is useful to those who are trying to organize their own work for academic credit or publication.

Review:This little book is still required reading in many Lit courses. It's well written, but I have a few problems with it. First of all, it's fairly obvious that he thought most of us from rural Ohio were a bunch of nincompoops...or, gnarled apples. Secondly, the religious nut guy in the field was a stretch and, perhaps, downright ridiculous. So much has been read into this book that it has become overwrought. Everyone should read this, but not necessarily believe it. Read more
