A Beautiful Story
What amazed me about this book was the way the story was told. It's kind of a courtroom drama, kind of a romance, and very much a commentary on the state of a torn and divided nation after World War II. On the North end of Puget Sound there was a murder and the accused, Kabuo Miyamoto is a friend turned enemy of Carl Heine, now deceased. The way it's told is the magic, as I alluded to ...

I love the Stanislaskis I've read them all
I've read them all I'm a big fan. Once you've read one book you have to read the rest, they feel like family and you will want to know what happen to them. Nora Roberts is number one.

Broadway, 1999

Wonderful Book
Although there are hundreds of reviews, I had to review this book because it had such an impact on me. I think this book is wonderful. It is a captivating story. I read it complete in one night, I just could not put it down! Adeline is a beautiful story teller, with an exceptional eye for detail. Although I loved the book, there was a strange voice that would creep into the story. Almost ...

Shel Silverstein

HarperCollins, 1996

ALWAYS A JOY TO READ.
To be frank, I get a kick out of Silverstein's work. It is always a bit quirky, always takes a couple of readings to really "get," and is very entertaining while being quite insightful as to human nature. This work is no different from his other works, same quality, same odd way of looking at life, same delightful black and white drawings. Publisher's Weekly got it pretty right here, in their ...

Another Joyful Max and Ruby Book!
Kids and adults of all ages can enjoy Max and Ruby. This book is one of my favorites along with the Easter Max and Ruby book and the Dragon Shirt book. I teach middle school ESOL students and I guarantee they will enjoy it and smile without feeling slighted and that the book was too childish. Fall!

Magnificent Merry
Summerhill Secrets is a super novel about a 15 yr. old girl, Merry, who follow's God's law and grows as a teenage Christian. The 5 stories in this book are very well written and interesting. This book was a quick read, but still awesome and I learned a lot about the Amish too. Have fun with Merry as she experiences everyday things teenagers can experience today.

Bloomsbury USA, 2008

Captures the change tragedy brings
Matousek is right on target with this book. He truly captures the essence of the change a person experiences when they have survived a tragedy. From the fabulous introduction and throughout each story of survival, even (especially) readers who are aware of how suffering has improved their lives will find nuggets of wisdom, as all angles of this phenomenon are explored. I had a hard time putting ...

It's a 10.0!
It is not often these days that I can find time to read a book, and yet I finished "All The Way Home" in just 2 days! I, too, live in Akron and know David a little bit, and my husband and I have worked on a couple of houses ourselves over the years. Yes, I expected to like this book, but I LOVED it! It's romantic yet unsentimental, genuine and genuinely funny, deeply moving and triumphant. I ...

A must read
I have had to buy a new book as the original one was so tatty from being passed on and re-read. It is essential reading if you have never visited Venice and are planning to do so. Thoroughly entertaining, too.

Wayside School is Falling Down by D18
Do you like funny stories about school? How about books on zany teachers? If your answer is "yes" then this is totally the book for you! With 30 wacky stories, Wayside School is Falling Down, by Louis Sacher, is one of those `hard-to-put-down' books. The story all starts when the architect who built the school built it with 30 classrooms on top of each other instead of side-by-side. If you think ...

Michael Gurian

Jossey-Bass, 2007

Read this before you drug your son
A lot of boys are being drugged because their teachers don't know how to handle "boy energy" and find it easier (for them, the teachers) to teach boys who are stoned. Gurian is a champion for boys' learning styles. Read this and buy a copy for any teacher who wants you to drug your son.

Falling into Theory: Conflicting Views on Reading Literature

David H. Richter

Bedford/St. Martin's, 1999

we need to think more about what we read and write
Representative or significant paragraph: Early in the Preface, Richter contends that the best way to teach our students to think well is "to be forthright about the irreconcilable differences within the profession over the interpretation and evaluation of texts and to highlight in our teaching precisely these differences" Studying the debates over the disciplinary object of literature and the ...

Going to Pieces without Falling Apart

Mark Epstein

Broadway, 1999

Awareness trumps neurosis
Although small in size, Epstein's book presents quite a powerful synthesis of Buddhism and psychotherapy. Amazingly, he brings clarity to the paradoxical concepts of: feeling whole by accepting emptiness; finding happiness by letting go; feeling more at peace by tolerating uncertainty; and being able to go to pieces in order to avoid falling apart. I've already read this book twice, and I have no ...

Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)

Recent and Comprehensive: a great guide to meteorites
I think Norton and Chitwood have done a great piece of work with this guide. It is very readable, but also up-to-date and comprehensive. As a collector, I find it covers the bases thoroughly. The parts describing hunting for meteorites, the tools and techniques used for determining meteorite authenticity, and the anecdotal information on hunters and various finds are a pleasant bonus I was not ...

HarperTrophy, 1996

Great book for kids!
Here's my 9-year-old son's review: I think this book is appropriate for kids, because it has funny stories about kids you don't see every day and kids who do strange but hilarious things. It's even more fun that the author uses himself as a character in the book - the yard teacher. He must have thought the book through really well, because it's full of interesting details. I read all three ...

Twilight Falling (Forgotten Realms: The Erevis Cale Trilogy)

Paul S. Kemp

Wizards of the Coast, 2003

A Series Worth Reading
I fear the Forgotten Realms was in a slump for awhile until this gem of an author came onto the screen. Kemp has a flair for easy-flowing narrative, tormented characters with snappy dialogues you can't resist reading about, and break-neck speed plots that do not fit the cookie-cutter mold of today's fantasy, but dare leave the audience standing aghast saying, "No! It can't end that way, I must ...
