Dorothy Gronwall
Oxford University Press, USA, 1990
Informative must read for the Head Injured and Caregivers.
This book say it all in a most readable way. It could be handed to a recent head injured person who is still confused as a tool to help understand what is happening to them. It should be compulsory reading for every family member and care giver of the head injured . My family and friends have all read it and I must say it transformed their attitude and understanding as to what I was dealing ...

Help is Here!
This book is like blessed rain after a drought. Someone close to me has MM and when we received the diagnosis, I frantically tried to find info on the disease of which I had never even heard. This little book should be given out by doctors to every new MM patient. It's clear, wryly humorous and positive, yet realistic voice covers everything from how one feels when finding out what's wrong with ...

Giver L-I-T Guide Literature in Teaching: Literature Guide4 reviews
Lois Lowry
Educational Impressions, 1995
A great book showing courage a young boy shows.
I think this book is one of the best books I've ever read. I liked how Jonas was so innocent and unaware in the beginning of the book and by the end was breaking all the rules to do what he felt was right. The book is a great for giving the little guys courage to do whatever they want.

The Givers & The Takers: Discover the Role You Play in the Dance of the Opposites10 reviews
Cris Evatt, Bruce Feld
Papaya Press, 2008
I Didn't Know I Gave So Much!
I used to give too much to everyone: my teenaged kids, my husband, and my co-workers. I was a pushover for the Takers in my life. This book changed me. Reading it was a "Big Aha!" I now say "no" to others without feeling guilty. I walk different, talk different, and dress different, and I've stopped apologizing so much. Until I read THE GIVERS AND THE TAKERS, I was addicted to pleasing others and ...

Cliffs Notes, 1999
It makes you think
My teacher read this book to us in English class for a unit. I really liked this book because it makes you think or imagine what could have happened to Jonas and Gabe. I know in my class when we finished the book, my teacher asked us what we thought happened at the end, so we all gave our ideas. Some kids said that he got a job or got married or died. Anything could have happened to them. Thats ...

Great Series
Lois Lowry is one of those unique authors who has won the John Newbery Medal for children's literature twice. Once for the first book in this trilogy and once for a book about the Holocaust called Number the Stars. (Just as an aside only one other author has ever done that Madeleine L'Engle who I would also recommend highly.) I would begin by recommending any of her books; they are all worth the ...

Jeannette Sanderson
Scholastic Reference, 2003
BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!
This was a very good, very very very good book. It was provacative, and scary, but not in a bad way. It was an alagory, which is why, if you don't understand the alagory, was boring to some people. I would reccomend that children under the age of 10 should NOT read this book without parental guidence. The only problems I had with the book were (a The ending was awful . . .it left you hanging . . ...

Ohh, so that is what the Holy Spirit is about....
Not for the beginner. This deep analysis will clear up most misunderstandings. A definite must for defining in detail what the Holy Spirit is and is not.

The death giver: From the Shadow's private annals (The Shadow ; 23)1 review
Walter Brown Gibson
Jove Publications, 1978
An American pulp icon
Unlike Doc Savage, whose complete run was reprinted in paperback, only about 25 of the 325 Shadow pulps were reprinted. The Shadow deserves better. In this adventure, Thade the Death Giver is arranging murders on the New York transit system. The Shadow and his band track the killer but not before multiple murders and terrific action. The Shadow is a must for any mystery fan.
