Review:an appropriate read for children of the era of the time it was written, but....where's Josephine in Napoleon's story for instance?
nevertheless, i am reading it with great enjoyment. However it could do with updating; perhaps as an appendix? Read more

Review:The music in this item is awesome. It is calming especially when driving. As you listen you can reread the book in your mind. The book is better than the film though the film was also excellent. I am glad I bought this CD. Read more

Review:Wonderful book! If you like Tony Hillerman's novels, you should check out his daughter, Anne's books. She has picked up on a couple of his characters and made them her own in her two recent books; both are terrific reads. Read more

Review:This was a pleasant surprise from Patterson since his last couple books tanked. Story gets your interest from the first chapter and with a few turns keeps it interesting. Looks forward to next book. Read more

Review:Francine Prose knows prose. In "Reading Like a Writer," she presents the timeless truth that great writers are great readers of great writers.

Review:Writing a story of the southern culture of 1940's, seems to have persisted to this day. The anger of haves and haves not, power and lack of power, and the want to gain power to keep the same system. Brilliant writing, thoughtful character building and identification.

Review:Bought my girlfriend this to sort of surprise her. She's always loved the movie and she showed me the movie and that was my first time watching the movie so I looked into it more. I found out it was based on a comic series of the same name so I decided to buy here this. She's already read most of it and she is just in love with it! The character and the art design is what she loves the most! If you're a fan of The Crow, I'd suggest picking this up for any fan! They'll enjoy it for sure. Read more

Review:Beautiful book full of cool facts you wish you could memorize. Fun to look at and fun to read. I think it's meant for kids, but as an adult who loves art and nature, I look at this book often.
Definitely something you'll love to have on your bookshelf. Read more
