The Book Thief 412 reviews

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007
Surprise
A group of ladies (all over 65) decided that even though we meet once a month, we needed at least once during the year to read and review a book. Book thief was suggested, but acknowledged that it was during a depressing time of history. I thought I would read the book and then get on to more pleasant reading. I was surprised at what an excellent book this was. I found the story, completely ...

not comic, this is art.
I am surprised that USA people watch this comic series in addition to the same title movie. As you know, Naushika's story don't finish to the movie. The truth story start from reading this comic. Even if Japanase read them, the story is a little difficult, but there are more wondeful things than the minus point. For instance, the drawing ways. Generally comic(Japanese MANGA) is simple drawing. ...

slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations25 reviews
Nancy Duarte
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008
What an investment in my small business!
Where to start?
Overall, this is probably one of the best books I've purchased for my own skills growth. I give the occasional presentation and I'm just blown away now that I review my previous slideshows having this book's information in my head.
For me, just the information found in Chapter 7 (of 12) was worth the price of the book. Don't know what Triadic or Tetradic color sampling ...

LIFE CHANGING!!
This book changed my life!!! I think the recipies are fast, inventive and taste awesome! I have lost 30 pounds and I owe it to this book! I also love the section that lists the "safe" things to eat in different cuisine restaurants as well as gas stations, long car rides. It really helps keep me on track no matter where I go.
Another huge bonus for those of us on Weight Watchers is that ...

Green Goes with Everything: Simple Steps to a Healthier Life and a Cleaner Planet5 reviews
Sloan Barnett
Atria, 2008
Finally Getting Green
Inspired by my best friend Zem of ecofabulous, I've been recycling for over a decade. I even bought a hybrid car two years ago but I've been really slow to go completely green. It wasn't until I read "Green Goes with Everything," that I was propelled to throw out all my toxic household products. This book lit a fire under me to get serious about the products I buy and what I surround myself with. ...

The Shack
I seldom completely read a book from cover to cover... but I read this book in its entirety. The story is real to me as I have lived some of these experiences that Willy shares about Mack, and his Trinity. Love and forgiveness...the tale of it all. Thank you for this inspiring and confirming book. Very well written! Dana Hardy

Truman
The book is well researched and is interesting reading. It's amazing to see the same political arguements in 1934 as in 2008. They were using class warfare in 1934 same as now.

Para Publishing, 2007
Self Publishing? You Need This Book
When I self-published my book, "Welcome Home: A Guide for Foster, Adoptive, and Treatment Foster Parents," I used Dan's book religiously. It's so worn out, I have to order a new copy for my forthcoming book [tenatively titled, 'Diagnosis, Assessment, and Treatment of Foster and Adopted Children, 2009]. I sold 5,000 copies, though two editions. Could I have done this without Dan's book? Perhaps, ...

Biology with MasteringBiology™ (8th Edition) (MasteringBiology Series)1 review
Neil A. Campbell, Jane B. Reece
Benjamin Cummings, 2007
Very Good if you can lift it
I completed my B.A. in biology over 30 years ago and got this book for self-study and to catch up with progress in topics outside of my work experience. The sections seem well written and illustrated. Since this is an introductory text it has sidebars and interviews meant to interest the intro student. I'd leave those out, if only to make the book less massive.
