Review:Love the clarity and freedom from the rigid followership of Strunk & White...even though I still refer to that guide regularly, like millions of others. Appreciate a new guide for the current age! & one that is actually interesting to read! Read more

Review:great book, although supposed to be just for laughs it makes very valid points about how children will be traumatized no matter what u do so since you cant avoid it you might as well do it in a way that prepares them for adulthood and continues to give examples how.... arrived promptly in amazing condition.

Review:not great... was really hoping for a bit more from the book... pretty much tells you to quit if somethings not working out (job, relationship.... ) not what I was looking for. some things are worth fighting for. Read more

Review:I like Bryson. I enjoy reading his books. This one was no exception. I suppose the first thing I like about thi author, is that we both have the same attitude toward life.
Bryson did a fantastic job on this book. It tells a accurate view on American and English culture. He is not your typical travel writer.
A fine, intelligent work that will have you entertained from cover to cover. Read more

Review:Patton Oswald's Zombie Spaceship Wasteland is a jumble of moments remembered and twisted fantasies conceived, assembled into a hallucinatory narrative that tells many stories, but mostly paints a picture of the inner world of one of our generation's best comedians.
Oswald's constant pursuit to improve, to never settle for having a "thing", a comedic gimmick, is shown in the process of book. Much like Stephen King's On Writing, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland is a portrait. It leaves you knowing mo... Read more

Review:Caitlin Moran, thank you for this book. It was so funny and a great reminder that the women's movement hasn't gone anywhere. I am so glad I didn't have to wait too long for Moranthology to follow. I have read both books several times in the past 30 days. I love them. Read more

Review:I enjoyed reading about Dave's life and what makes him tick. I've always gotten a chuckle from his humor. The book is written as if he's talking directly to you in conversation.

I have more respect for him after reading the book. He owns up to lots of stuff and calls it like he sees it. Good stuff for a celebrity/comedian. Read more

Review:The QI writing team does it once again, this time compiling facts from ten years of the show into a rapid-fire hitlist of information. What's nice here is that the facts aren't totally random. Some are grouped together according to theme or word, and they've even got citations for each in a lengthy index in the back.

While other books claim to be "bathroom readers" designed to entertain readers for the long-haul, this one would do suitably for short 15-second trips if necessary. Read more

Review:Haunted takes you places where you never wanted to go, and once you get there you never want to leave. The characters are vivid. The plot is realistic. The world created is as real as this one. That's what makes it so scary. You get to know the characters, to feel sorry for them, to hate them, to root for the bad guy, and there are plenty of them to choose from. There's something about hiding from the world for three months and killing those around you for fame that makes you not put this down f... Read more
