An inspirational book
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul ll is a great book written by teenagers and some adults about life. It teaches us about life and how to deal with it. It shows us that no matter where you came form, what you look like, or how you act, almost all teenagers are the same. This book is an inspiration to everyone. This book influences me because it inspires me to become a better person. ...

Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health251 reviews
L. Ron Hubbard

Bridge Publications, Inc., 2002

The Best Self Help Book I've Found
I found this book about 20 years ago. It wasn't the easiest to read,It's good to keep a dictionary on hand while you read it. It changed my whole point of view on life. It just plain works. Don't believe anything you hear. Just pick up a copy and read it for yourself. Then make your own decisions.

The Forgotten Door (Apple Paperbacks)53 reviews
Alexander Key

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1986

A gentle, thoughtful gem
Like so many others, I read this lovely book when I was much younger, and it has remained with me to this day. It's a deceptively simple story, told directly & clearly, which poses quite a few difficult ethical & moral questions about the world we take for granted. Yet it's never preachy or heavy-handed. Through the eyes of Little Jon, we not only see the flaws of our own society, with its ...
  
  











  



  
Captains and the Kings44 reviews
Taylor Caldwell

Fawcett Publications, 1976

truth and wisdom
The world we live in has little to do with what we see on the evening news. A wise person values truth above all else, and is willing to search for it. This book will reward those who seek the truth. The true acid test of a person's wisdom is that their theories not only explain the present reality, but are accurate in predicting future events as well. Written over 35 years ago, this book ...
  
  











  



  
Between The Covers (Silhouette Desire No. 130)136 reviews
Laurien Blair

SILHOUETTE BOOKS, 1984

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Children: The Challenge51 reviews
Rudolf Dreikurs, Vicki Stolz

Dutton Adult, 1987

Children the Challenge
I saw the author on TV about 30 years ago, got the book and only read the first third. It saved our family. My daughter is now 32. I never told her she had to study, have a curfew, or brush her teeth. She made decisions on herself much younger than most, graduated from UCSD with a 3.8, has a wonder job in mergers and acquisitions, and recently bought her own beautiful home in San Francisco. ...
  
  











  



  
Gift from the Sea-20th Anniv107 reviews
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Pantheon, 1977

A Joy Forever
What more can be said about this lovely collection of thoughts? Even as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is as fresh as the day it was penned. This book is a keeper if ever there was one, a volume to be read and re-read and handed down to one's children, which is what I intend to do with the most recent Gift from the Sea that I bought.
  
  











  



  
From Here to Eternity60 reviews
James Jones, 1975

It gradually earned my affection...
From Here to Eternity is a singular reading experience: gritty, raucous, desperate, raw and, yet, ultimately sublime. James Jones fields a superb cast of characters with which relatively few novels can compete. More than once, it reminded me of Catch 22 (without the intended absurdity) - Pianosa set down in a peaceful Hawaii just prior to Pearl Harbor. Distractingly, there are times when ...

Warner Books, 2002

I'm happy
I am very happy I could locate this book. It is one of my favorite books, and one I insist being on my shelf. Thus, my copy was missing and I was pleased I could replace my copy.

Touching, good characterization, panoramic story
While Steel's books may not hold high literary status, her books are popular, and reading The Ring is one of her best efforts. Steel, through her well honed writing skills, takes the female character through several love relationships starting with a character that she learned to love against all odds. Her love of a German Nazi solider, and her love of another, finally leads to finding the ...
  
  











  



  
True Love: Stories29 reviews

Harpercollins, 1997

Writing about Love
This is a brilliant little book about how the love bug can strike each and every one of us in unique ways. It's an easy read that can be digested not just by the scholar but by the common man. It's a hopeful book. More books like this should be written. Jeffrey McAndrew author of "Our Brown-Eyed Boy"

Sedona Hikes, 130 Day Hikes & 5 Vortex Sites around Sedona, Arizona, Revised 9th Edition22 reviews
Richard K. Mangum and Sherry G. Mangum

Hexagon Press, Inc., 2006

Great Guide, but also buy a map
I used this book for planning a 2 day visit to Sedona. I was extremely happy with the format. It has 2 pages per hike, with a high quality photo of what to expect for views, driving/hiking distance/time, as well as selections of their favorites. We didn't visit long enough to do a lot of the hikes, but we truly felt that we were able to select 3 hikes that were perfectly suited to our tastes ...

Recommendation: A great book for traveling on a journey with a special child. If you have a special child, get this book, because you may learn more about your child, and their own journey and thoughts. If you don't have an special child, then get this book and learn about the blessings that come with the pain and challenges of the journeys that parents of special children travel.

The Fire Game (Fear Street, No. 11)44 reviews
R. L. Stine

Simon Pulse, 1991

Pageturner
In the beginning, the book was uninteresting but as the story goes deeper, it becomes interesting. This book is a pageturner especially when Jill was stuck with the murderer in the cabin at Fear Street woods. That part was near the end. That one was very exciting.
  
  











  



  
Saving Private Ryan, The Men, The Mission, The Movie : A Steven Spielberg Movie22 reviews
Linda Sunshine

Newmarket Press, 1998

Very interesting
Saving Private Ryan and The Triumph and the Glory have sparked an interest in me about WWII. The novel isn't quite as good as the movie but anyway this book is a great behind the scenes look at the making of a terrific movie.
