The Siren
The Siren

Review:Ok I loved the Siren! It is a very unique type of story. Something I could never come up with on my own! I loved the sparks of comedy in it! Keira has an awesome sense of humor that spilled over into her book. I also enjoyed that the main charater had the same name as me only spelled different I thought that would never happen!

This was a great book that I'll deffintely recommend to others! Read more

Out of the Dust
Out of the Dust

Review:Out of the Dust, by Karen Hesse, is a heartwarming story that will leave no eye dry. It touches a chord that children don't see very often in children's literature, a good reason for receiving the Newbery award.
The style of this book is very unique. Fourteen year old, Billie Jo, shares in a diary of sort everything that happens to her, how she feels, and what her dreams are. By the end of the book children will feel that they really know her. They can put themselves in her difficult sit... Read more

Dodger
Dodger

Review:I thought Dodger was a good read, a little simplistic at times but still well written. I always enjoy his books and I'm a huge fan. It was a little corny though when Mr. Dickens would "write something down for later". Looking forward to the next one. Read more

The Shepherd's Crown (Tiffany Aching)

Review:A most enjoyable book, sad to know it's the last Sir Terry wrote. As always I find it hard to put the Discworld books down and this was no different. I would have loved to be able follow more of Tiffany Aching Read more

The Wee Free Men (Tiffany Aching)
The Wee Free Men (Tiffany Aching)

Review:Great book. Good pictures. Lousy sticker.

The book came with an Amazon barcode sticker on it, covering up the ISBN barcode. This would've been OK if it were a quality sticker, like Borders uses at retail; but it was a cheap sticker, which has left nasty crud behind. If I ever see one of these stickers on a book I buy from Amazon again, I will return it as defective, and go buy the book at retail. Read more

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents (Discworld)
The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents (Discworld)

Review:"Because, you see, you just think for many rats, but you don't think OF them."

For this sentence alone, this book should be required reading for every idiot liberal arts student in the entire world. It's SO obvious, unless you're an Occupisher. When they come for YOUR neighbor, will YOU say anything? Tolkien is the only other comparable writer to Pratchett's books, but Pratchett does it better; it's more real, more human. We should mourn the fact that journalists like Pratchett are ...wel... Read more

Nation
Nation

Review:Terry Pratchett is my favorite author, and Nation is one of his best ever. Though it is billed as a children's story, it speaks to adults as well, and makes us look at how we would react at a time of total upheaval in our life. It is not a Discworld story, but takes place in a world very close to ours. As we celebrate Discworld holidays ( Soul Cake Tuesday, Hogswatch) we now celebrate Mothering Sunday. Read the book to find out! Read more

Wintersmith (Tiffany Aching)
Wintersmith (Tiffany Aching)

Review:How to write about a Pratchett book without it degenerating into incoherent fangirly squeeing? I'll try, but I'm not making any promises.

This is the 3rd Tiffany Aching book, which is a subset of the Discworld series. Tiffany is a young witch-in-training.

In Wintersmith, Tiffany turns 13, which is a difficult enough time in any girl's life. But Tiffany's not just any girl, so things are exponentially more difficult. Her biggest problem starts when she (unintentionally, to be sure) ... Read more

A Hat Full of Sky (Tiffany Aching)
A Hat Full of Sky (Tiffany Aching)

Review:This cookbook comes full of recipes and Terry Pratchett's charm. The recipes are easy to follow and create great food. The stories and sidebars are great too. Anyone needing to have a little fun in the kitchen should order this book. Anyone who has read any Terry Pratchett should order this cookbook! Great gift! Read more
