Review:EXCELLENT book, my first Capote. Bought the book because the movie is now my second favorite movie of all time, and I am one of those snobs that believe that if you love the movie, you should read the book it's based on. Glad I bought this edition with the short stories as well. I was absolutely satisfied with Breakfast at Tiffany's as I suspected I would be, but was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the stories as well. Quick read, compelling read, his words are fraught with culture ... Read more
Review:I really enjoy complete collections of a single author. Reading the good and the less-good, I get a sense of the writer's mind, as well as his voice and style. Mark Twain is the clear-eyed, sad-eyed self-invented man who hates fraud with a passion and is determined not to be cheated or deluded. I know of no other writer in English, except Swift, with such a low opinion of his fellow creatures.
However, the father of every cynic is a disappointed innocent. Twain grew up in a stern Pres... Read more

REVIEW:
Another great book in Alexandra Ivy’s Guardians of Eternity Series. I’m obsessed with this series! I love the world Alexandra Ivy has created and the characters. Most series seem to fizzle out over time but the Guardians of Eternity series keeps getting better. "When Dar... Read more
Review:There are works of fiction that change the way you look at life, and then there is the work of Jorge Luis Borges, which just might alter the way you look at everything, including yourself. The best way to explain Jorge Luis Borges is to compare him to painters - if you combined Picasso, Dali and Escher's imaginations into a writer, you would have Borges. His visions of doppelgangers, puzzles, labyrinths, infinite libraries and Argentine Gauchos are on a level of reality different from any other ... Read more
Review:Right Ho, Jeeves may be the funniest book Wodehouse ever wrote! The situations are as brilliantly conceived as they are absurd, and the dialogue is masterful (and so quotable that Right Ho, Jeeves has had an impact on my own use of the English language!). Read more
Review:I love mystery and who done it books and Catherine Coulter has a way to bring in the FBI in an exciting way for a cross state line missing child.
The speed that I received this book was great. Free shipping was helpful to the wallet and the condition of the book was just as described. Read more
Review:I always admired Sherlock Holmes as a great detective, but never actually took to reading the actual stories. I must say this is a great book, though it starts off a bit slow with the way-too-drawn-out Sign of Four and Study in Scarlet, it picks up with the well done short storys like The Engineer's Thumb, The Red-Headed League, The Speckled Band, The Yellow Face and oh-so-many more. This is deffenately one to pick up, it's a thick book, too, at 1059 pages, Read more
Review:Despite being very gross, it just didn't provide a good scare. No suspense, just gross-out. Felt like a moody college student's final paper in a creative writing class where he would have received a C-. It was a total flop at our book club, and we are a group that enjoys Stephen King, Joe Hill, science fiction and the like. Read more
Review:This was a really enjoyable story, well written and action-packed with a hint of seduction (not really romance). I was a little disappointed that Jane didn't end up with who I wanted, but I didn't write the story. Read more
