Tomorrow, When the War Began (The Tomorrow Series #1)

John Marsden

Bolinda Publishing, 2004

so exciting!!
John Marsden has done an excellent job creating a great and exciting story about friendship, war, and love. I have read all the books in this series and I was so mad when it ended. You feel so close to the charactors that when it's over, its heartbreaking. I wish I could meet every one of the charactors on the book. This series truly has changed my life. I've learned so much and it has changed ...

Remember Me #1 (reissue)

Christopher Pike

Simon Pulse, 2002

No "The Last Vampire", but still amazing!
First let me say that this book, in my opinion, is a 4 1/2 stars. This is by no means Christopher Pike's best book, which would be "The Last Vampire", no doubt. Christopher Pike has an incredible talent and precision for details. I love the way he can make the smallest of detail into a major part of the plot, an excellent technique... especially in a murder mystery. This book had everything in ...

Secret Vampire (Night World, Book 1)

L.J. Smith

Archway, 1996

Welcome to the Night World
Poppy North is a typical sixteen-year old--she gets through school by being smarter than her teachers; likes to irritate her straight-laced twin brother, Phil; listens to New Age and techno music; has a secret crush on her best friend, James; and wakes up on the first morning of summer vacation before her senior year of high-school with nothing more paramount on her mind than what she can do with ...

Homeland: The Dark Elf Trilogy, Part 1 (Forgotten Realms: The Legend of Drizzt, Book I)

200 reviews
R. A. Salvatore

Wizards of the Coast, 2005

Fantasy novel that inspired me to become an author
From reading Homeland since I was a high school teenager, it had inspired me to publish my own fantasy/adventure novel entitled The Final Crusade at age 21. Drizzt was my favorite character of all time, a maverick hero who defies the evil ways of his race and follows his own moral conscience and honor. His background delivers a strong message to everyone living in the real world that nobody ...

Michael J. Fox

Hyperion, 2002

A thought-provoking intimate account
I was amazed at what an excellent writer Michael J. Fox is -- his story was candidly written with insightful accounts of his incredible journey. I was also impressed that the proceeds from the book all go to research for a cure for Parkinson's disease. Way to go, Michael!

Touching... real heart warmer and tear jerker
This book was great. Rarely do I cry while reading books, but during this book, or books, I cried my heart out. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. There was drama, some comedy, and the best of all Romance. It also had myster and such, it was like all my favortie genre's in one. If you are thinking of buying it, do so. I recomend this book if you enjoy sad romance. The plot is wonderful. ...

The Invasion (Animorphs #1)

173 reviews
K.A. Applegate

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1996

Excellent series
Note: This review pertains to the entire Animorphs series, rather than this specific book. When I read most of the Animorph books several years ago, I thought it was very suspenseful and entertaining. Now, as I look back, it seems that these books, although targeted at 4th-6th graders, have suprising depth, with often tenebrous themes concerning free will, sentimentalism, and morality.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend

Ballantine Books, 2002

Five Years Later, This Is Still The Best Sports Book I've Ever Read
When I finished reading this book five years ago, I thought "Wow, that is the greatest sports book I have read." Well, I still think that way and I've read some great sports literature since. It's the combination of fascinating mini-biographies of Seabiscuit's owner, trainer and jockey that make this book so entertaining. These were fascinating people and if you were a horse racing fan, the ...

Arthur A. Levine Books, 2001

Super!
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" Apparently, I am the 5434th person to leave a review. I will try to keep it short. I am a retired older person and, ten years ago, I bought a copy of the previous edition for myself and my wife and a second copy for my, then, eight-year-old step granddaughter and her eleven-year-old brother. We, each, enjoyed the story tremendously. We have followed ...

Jane Yolen Books, 1997

great fantasy book
A great fantasy story of Meliara. She swears to her father on his deathbed that she will reclaim the kingdom, which was once her mothers, and she will reclaim it from the greedy King Galdran. This leads her village to a war against the king and will threaten the lives of the people and their homes. This is a great book for fantasy lovers and people who love stories about court life.

Demonata #1, The: Lord Loss: Book 1 in the Demonata series (Demonata)

Darren Shan

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

Terrifying, Gory and absolutely BRILLIANT
I am a teen reader and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. The premise for the story is very original what with the whole chess thing (certainly different from anything I've read). It didn't take long for the action to get started and several unexpected twists kept the story from being too predictable. Be advised though; this story is NOT for those who are easily disturbed and do not ...

Whitman Publishing, 2006

coin book-just what I needed
I ordered this book for my son as he is beginning coin collecting. He took up that interest after seeing the collection that my grandfather handed down to me. The book was perfect for showing him what these coins are worth today.

Ann Rinaldi

Demco Media, 1995

WONDERFUL!!!
This book was great! WOW! To tell you the truth, it wasn't one of the best Ann Rinaldi books I've ever read, but hey, it passes. Fifteen year-old Hannah Chelmsford has a mixed up life: a seperated family we could call it. Her father is a mean old man who won't allow either Hannah or Abby(his oldest daughters) to marry who they wish, he won't let his son Lawrence marry or paint, and his youngest ...

Irene Opdyke

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1999

A book for both Mothers and Teen Daughters
My 14-year-old daughter read this book and insisted that I read it. When I finally agreed, I could not put the book down. The story is so well told that you can can truly understand the experience of a 17-year-old girl in the midst of the horrible events. A compelling book that everyone should read and discuss.

Simon Pulse, 1994

Best book of the Trilogy!
This entire Trilogy is just amazing. I was given a present of the first book when I was about 7 (10 years ago), and I immediately wanted the next two! I fell in love with Julian there and then, and was never able to understand why Jenny didn't just choose him! I've read these books over 20 times, and they're all falling apart. Everybody in the entire world should read them, because you're missing ...

Booklover........
The books by Lemonity Snicket are wonderful. They are stories that keep you reading. I have enjoyed reading them. They are stories about three young children who lost their parents in a fire and are sent to different places to live. The first place was with a distant relative....who is Count Olaf. From then on there have been many more places they have had to live and exciting but unfortunate ...
