The Ghost and Mrs. McClure
This is a very enjoyable book with very real likable characters, except for the ghost, he isn't "very real". It is a nice mystery that brings in characters, working together, in a small northeast American town. I have since read all of the books in this series and have enjoyed them very much.

I loved this book. The emotion that the protagonist conveys throughout the book is clearly relatable from generation to generation. I recommend this book for every teenager out there.

A Good Series Becomes Great
I love this series! I was iffy on the first book wondering just how the author was going to convince me that there was a palpable heat between a ghost and a very much alive young woman, but she did, and now I'm into this series for the long haul. The frequent glimpses into Jack's past were enjoyable and the construct of Penelope joining him is an interesting twist with room to grow. This entry ...

The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life53 reviews

Bantam, 2008
American knowledge
Is this a biography or is it a history book? It actually serves as both with some wonderful threads to help find out more about American History during that (this) era, if one wishes to look. On the other hand with so many foot notes, one may find it a little intimidating but in this particular instance, the foot notes are a valuable asset to the book, and not additional distractions. Well ...

Disney's Alice in Wonderland and Mary Blair's sumptuous art together!
Disney's Alice in Wonderland, as told through the gorgeous art work of Mary Blair, makes for one very spectacular book! Mary Blair (1911-1978) was one of Disney's most brilliant conceptual designers, who contributed in the creations of such great film classics as Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Mary Blair gave Disney 34 years of her gorgeous and vivid art, which will always stand ...

Family Treasure
I purchased this book because of the last page. I had seen it at my Book Club and knew my grandchildren would love it. They love peaking down the rabbits hole and finding the additional pop ups on each page. A book you will definately want to pass on down the family. Truly a classic come to life.

Review of The Annotated Alice
The book arrived promptly via standard shipping. I purchaed this book to replace a much earlier and well-read edition of The Annotated Alice. The dust cover and the book arrived in excellent condition. I am very pleased with the book and Amazon's service. As you may have guessed, I very much like children's literature and find that more often than not, the content is far more interesting to ...

The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution64 reviews

Best Cookbook I Own
This is the cookbook I return to again and again. The recipes are clear and simple and perfect for weeknight cooking, but the results are always fantastic. Often I have high hopes for a recipe and then it doesn't turn out so great, but everything I've made from this book has been DELICIOUS. You'll need to use high-quality ingredients to get those great results, but that's kind of what Alice ...

A memory of idealism & shadows
As another Thanksgiving approaches, those of a certain age invariably hear the strains of "Alice's Restaurant" playing in their heads. Which means I'll be watching this somewhat uneven but thoughtful movie once more, reacquainting myself with what are now legendary days. I'm sure they seem a bit implausible & unreal to those who didn't live through the times ... but rest assured, the shambling, ...

The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self78 reviews
Alice Miller
Basic Books, 2008
A Significant Piece of the Puzzle
Reading books about psychology, especially books dealing with childhood trauma, is a bit like looking into a shattered mirror. Some parts will accurately reflect aspects of one's own psyche; other parts will be too distorted to have any relevance. As far as mirrors go, I think Alice Miller's "The Drama of the Gifted Child" provides for excellent viewing.
The core of the book is about ...

Lucky: A Memoir256 reviews
Alice Sebold
Back Bay Books, 2002
Precise Memoir
The differences between Sebold's memoir and fiction are vast. In "Lucky" as opposed to "The Lovely Bones" words are hammered in, staccato and short, understated. I liked both books, but I do have to point out it is as if they were written by different writers. In looking over the reviews people seem to hate one and love the other or vice versa, and I think it's a shame. Lovely Bones is like a ...

As Wonderful a Tale as has Ever Been Told
I couldn't put it down, man. I checked this book out at the local library and read through the opening 130 pages in one sitting until I was falling asleep at three in the morning. Lewis Carroll's classic tale of adventure and fantasy "Alice in Wonderland" is one of the best books I've ever read. The story is about a little girl, Alice, who falls into a very deep rabbit hole, seemingly straight to ...

oh dear
What a disappointment after Alice Sebold's previous two books. I enjoyed Lovely Bones so much that I bought a copy for my mum. I cried at Lucky which I read after Lovely Bones and was so exicited when I saw there was a new novel out. The Almost Moon just didn't do it for me, sorry Alice.
