Review:Many books have been written to continue the stories of the characters that Jane Austen created, including sequels, prequels, continuations, and diaries. Most of these books have been written about the most popular of her novels, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, while ignoring some of her other different, but equally well-written and beautiful novels–SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, NORTHANGER ABBEY, EMMA, MANSFIELD PARK, and PERSUASION. Now for the first time, all six of Jane Austen’s books have been re-imagined and... Read more
Review:Jazz is another great work by Toni Morrison. I can only say this because I am somewhat 'used to' reading Morrison's writing style. Not that there is a style, per se. And not that one could ever *really* get 'used to' reading Morrison. This fantastic work is like a jazz composition in and of itself: the narrator is the "band leader;" the characters (when allowed to speak for themselves or when they think on something from their past) are the individual "musicians" called on from time to time to i...

Review:I thought this book was amazing. The author gives you a lot of random information during the beginning half of the novel, but once
you have reached towards the end of the book all of this information falls into place. I loved the ending. It was terrific. The last sentence of the novel even somes up the whole book, and really connects to the very beginning of the novel. I loved this book so much that if I was introduced to it out of my english class
I would still have read it. Read more
Review:In thrilling and deeply intricate Sula (Penguin $11.95) Toni Morrison divulges into the complex fabric of a black town in Ohio, "The Bottom". The main characters, Sula and Nel, seemingly merge into the same character and interestingly shared the role of narrating the story.

Review:There is no way that the author or publisher could not see the sexual references here. The sexual innuendo is just dripping off of this book. This book is a GREAT gag gift, but definitely not for a child. If you haven't noticed, the majority of ratings are either 5 star or 1 star. You either have a sense of humor for this book, or you think it is just atrocious.
Presented like a classic children's tale, the book chronicles Louie, Chuck and Sally as they enjoy innuendo-filled childhood... Read more
Review:Goodnight iPad is a very clever take off from the original children's story "Goodnight Moon". Even the "author's name" is a funny play on words. Adults and children alike will get a kick out of the story and wonderful illustrations, and no one will get bored reading it before bedtime. Read more

Review:Got this as a joke for my husband, great gift and SO on point for new parents. Vulgar as all get out, but that is kind of the point, but make sure you don't leave it out when grandparents and/or babysitter are around. Read more
