Riverhead, 2007

Astonishing Book!
By far, this has been one of the best books I have ever read! It is so well written that I was able to picture every single scene. It was really hard for me to put the book down because every chapter ended in suspense. I just wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. This book was definately an eye-opener and it reminded me of the sad truth about Afghanistan's reality. ...

the american-domincan experience
this is one amazing journey. every character is vibrant, well developed and the book is written in a way in which you might get slightly lost from chapter to chapter, however, you quickly realize the method used by the author, which makes the read that much more enjoyable. I truly belive that you have to be knowledgeable of the Dominican culture to get the most out of this novel. and fuku is ...

A great ending!
This is the last of a great series of audio books on CD, and the narration by Jim Dale continues to make the characters come alive. What a great way to enjoy the last of the Harry Potter books. Make's my daily drive time commute fun and interesting. If you have listened to the other (6) Harry Potter audio books on CD, this last one in the series is a must. One of the best of the series, Jim ...

Beautiful Modern Fairytale
I was surprised after finishing this book on how many negative reviews it got. I devoured it in 5 hours! This is acually the first James Patterson book that I actually finished (I started reading Beach Road, but I didn't care for his writing style). It is a beautiful love story that I could see making a great movie.

Ishmael Beah

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007

A disturbing, but fascinating, look into Africa
A Long Way Gone chronicles the life of a young teen in Sierra Leone who is fleeing the Rebels who are wreaking havoc in villages throughout the region. He falls in with a group of boys trying to survive, but since everyone is suspicious of groups of boys, they live a hard life. Eventually they, between the ages of 14 and 17, are conscripted into the Army to fight the Rebels. The book is very ...

The Mysterious Benedict Society

Trenton Lee Stewart

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Best book I've ever read
*This was reviewed by my 9 yr old son* The Mysterious Benedict Society is practically hands-down the best book I've ever read. It's a long book but it's definitely worth reading. I recommend it for everyone ages 8 and up. Anyone younger might not be able to follow it as it has a detailed plot. I can relate to most of the characters in the story and it has a very fascinating plot and a ...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

180 reviews
Brian Selznick

Scholastic Press, 2007

A brilliant invention.
When I first picked up this book I knew I was holding something special. "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" is a story told not only through words, but also through a series of pictures (like watching an animated feature), but furthermore through the physical object of the book itself. Mr. Selznick has created a one-of-a-kind entity that just so happens to fit on a library shelf, but that acts as ...

The Dangerous Book for Boys

Collins, 2007

Brilliant book for boys or girls
My nine year old twin girls love the book. Sure, they have no interest in hunting rabbits (they're vegetarians) or famous battles in history (at least not yet), but there's a lot in here for any kid who is not on too tight of a parental leash. Get this and the girls' book too. A lot of worthwhile bits in each.

SAIL
First of all, I am a huge fan of James Patterson books. I have so many that my bookcase is bulging. This book is one of my favorites. It is a quick read. (Great for taking on vacation) Mr. Patterson is known for taking twists and turns and I am usually mad at him because of whom he made the "bad guy" in the book but this time I was very pleased with him!! Enjoy!!

First the Egg (Caldecott Honor Book and Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book (Awards))

Laura Vaccaro Seeger

Roaring Brook Press, 2007

A concept journey: egg or chicken? chicken or egg?
Which came first--the chicken or the egg? Finally, someone is here to tell us. But the answer later. "First the egg," written and illustrated by Laura Vaccaro Seeger, is a Caldecott honor winner for 2008 and an honor book for the Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) Award. What makes it special? Both the artwork and the story, or actually, in this case, concepts that lead from one transformation ...

Then We Came to the End: A Novel

Joshua Ferris

Back Bay Books, 2008

A slow starter with a great finish.
I will be the first to say that in the beginning of reading this novel, I was incredibly disappointed. I could not, for the life of me, understand why this book had received such incredible praise. However, around 250 pages in, the story has a dramatic change of focus and some brilliant character development rises to the surface. Additionally, as others have said, the last 20 pages are truly ...

Anne Frank

Bantam, 1993

Diary of Anne Frank
I knew that the Diary of Anne Frank was the second most purchased book in the world, the Bible being the first, but I still wasn't sure if I wanted to read it. In our eighth grade class, our teacher is big on the Holocaust. And when she first mentioned that we would be learning about it, I was excited; to a point. I know that most kids my age think 'ooh blood and guts and gore' and think it's ...

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

790 reviews
Christopher Hitchens

Twelve Books, Hachette Book Group, 2007

This Book Is Not Great, but it's pretty darn good!
The good about this book is that it is written by Hitchens, and is a very witty, entertaining look at religion. The bad is that it really does not present any new or more convincing arguments on religion than previous good books from atheists or atheist philosophers. So, it stands to be taken wrong by some people. First, religion doesn't poison Everything, but I would agree it poisons a ...

Patrick Rothfuss

DAW, 2008

my first fantasy novel (and it was a great one!)
All I can say is "wow!" Although I am a very avid reader, this is my first fantasy novel and I picked it up due to the rave reviews and its "best of the year" designation. This is now one of my favorite books, due to the characters, plot, and Rothfuss's incredible ability to transport me to a different time and place without overdoing the imagery. I am enthralled by this book and can ...
