Stephanie's Best Book so far!!!
Out of all Twilight series books this one is my favorite so far. I love how you get to know each character even more than you do in the first two books. It just makes me want to read them all over and over and over again!

Vamp it Up Ms. Meyer
If you love Vampire sagas, this one is great!!! The whole series is awesome. It is the perfect combination of love, teenage angst, and the inescapable draw of vampire lore. This book, in particular, with the sneak peak chapter, of the coming 4th book in August, only makes you thirst for "more". Ms. Meyer's series is bound to give J.K. Rowling a run for her literary money. :a)

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)1620 reviews
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006
enjoyable love story for teens
Although some of the girlish emotion was a bit over the top for me, this story of improbable love between a lonely girl and a young adult vampire was compelling. My teenage girl students love this series with a passion. I found it largely predictable but I got involved with the characters anyway. I especially liked Edward's vampire family for their quirky individuality and humor.

percy is my hero
I have been looking for a book that would spark my sons interest and make him want to read. I was lucky to find a series. We read the first book together and he was hooked.(So was I.) I found myself reading ahead of him and befor I knew it I had finished all four books. He doesn't know and I'm not going to tell him. I am actually excited to read it again with him. I find the character of Percy ...

Good might moon
I first purchased this book 36 years ago for my son; recently bought this new copy for my future grandson--I'm hoping it will be his favorite as it was his father's. It is such a delightful story and a great nightime
read before bed.

Things Fall Apart (Modern Critical Interpretations Series)525 reviews
Chinua Achebe
Chelsea House Publications, 2002
A classic, with good reason
This is an extraordinary book in its ability to narrate both a story of cultural dissonance and an overarching tale about the human condition. Achebe's novel broaches the subject of morality, but demonstrates that even the concept of "evil" is subject to a cultural interpretive context.
Okonkwo, the book's tragic hero, is an emblem of tradition, but also represents how tradition can be ...

Beautiful! Well-Crafted!
I have looked at Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart's books on their website as well as Amazon.com. I finally bought this book and I love it!
The craftsmanship and artistry is beautiful. Children of any age, including adults like me, will love this book!
Not only is it well-crafted but it's educational and loads of fun. After this book, I ordered another!

One of the best trilogies I've read in a long time
After reading the end of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit a couple times, and all of the Chronicles of Narnia, I really needed a book that would let me escape from the only reading I had been doing which were scholarly articles on Political Science and the Environment for school. I heard about the Golden Compass due tot he movie, but had not yet seen it. So since I had a gift ...

Oh, the Places You'll Go! Deluxe Edition (Classic Seuss)250 reviews
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1993
Perfect Graduation Gift
Excellent gift for a highschool or college graduation. Dr. Seuss may have written this as a childrens book but I think it is excellent for a young adult. I always give this as a graduation gift. If you haven't ever read it, you should and you will see why it is a perfect gift for a young adult!

Great book for boys
I bought Diary of a Wimpy Kid first and my son wouldn't put it down and this child hated any type of reading material. He liked it so much we got Diary of a Wimpy Kid Roderick Rules and he absolutely raced through its pages. I would tell all parents to run out and buy this book.

Nick of Time12 reviews
Ted Bell
St. Martin's Griffin, 2008
A must read!
If you liked Ted Bell's "Hawk" series, you'll LOVE "Nick of Time". I was hesitant when I first ordered this book, since I'm usually disappointed with the early works of authors when they are released after a successful series. This certainly wasn't the case here. Not only was "Nick of Time" a lively tale that kept me drawn in from page one, it also provided an interesting background for the ...

Markus Zusak
Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007
In which a beautiful small girl defies the might of Hitler!
"The Book Thief" is an extraordinary book, indeed, the finest I've read in many years! Do you remember all of those aggravating literary clichés you read so often on book covers and publicity blurbs? Haunting, compelling, uplifting, powerful, deeply moving and gut-wrenching? Well, it's hardly overstating the case to suggest that "The Book Thief" has earned every last one of them. The narrator (we ...
