The Coin Has No Say
Cormac McCarthy has a unique and memorable writing style. What you read stays with you because it takes a little effort to internalize it. His storytelling is largely symbolic, as well. If you can read what's between the paragraphs, you'll get the rest of the story. McCarthy has carved out a place for himself in the writing world by breaking a few rules of conventional writing: punctuation, ...
How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter

I actually read the book
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R224FEPDV6YT2Z Coulter's right, liberals really do lie. The first lie liberals tell is that they are not really liberal, but that hardly stands up to much scrutiny, because a true liberal will throw a tantrum once their "facts" are revealed to be opinions. That said, Coulter is witty, factual and constructs a convincing case for dealing with the ...

Literally, I almost passed out (no spoilers!)
A friend gave me Twilight, and it sat on my shelves for many months - I had (what I considered) to be a healthy amount of skepticism: "A vampire book? Right." But I decided to pick it up and read it finally ... I loved it. Passionately. And it finally brought me to this book. I'm probably a wee bit older than the target audience, but I adored all the stories - I think all the "ancient" ...
Jane Austen's Guide to Good Manners: Compliments, Charades & Horrible Blunders

Helping to explain some of the more obscure aspects of Jane Austen's works, with elegance and art
Being a fan of nearly everything Jane Austen, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that I would buy this book. The Regency period of English history -- from about 1790 to 1820 -- has always interested me, and has been a lucrative trade for modern romance writers, but I was curious about something. How was the Regency period actually? And to solve that question, writer Josephine Ross goes ...

A great book for a childs bad day!
A wonderful, fun book to lighten the mood. My daughter loves to read this. I use the phrase with my eight year old daughter: "some days are like this..." (my daughter always smiles and finishes with: "even in Australia" for me. Cheers her up every time. We read it often and have for a while. It helps that her name is Alexandra.

My Favorite Book
Horriable Harry in Room 2B is my favorite book. Not only is it a book that i have grown up with, it is also an interesting and enjoyable book to just sit down and read. From the funny stiches he gets himself involved into, and the "double revenge" that he puts upon Sidney, this book has always made me giggle. If you arn't sure if an older kid would like it, let me tell you this, im 16 and ...

Lonely stick-woman calls people names, writes another book
It just doesn't stop. What is this, the sixth book by stick-woman? Does it matter? It's the same book, every year. The same shtick, all the time. I'd like to write a wittier review of this book, but it's difficult. I never bought a Coulter book, I never will. I preview these books along with other pundit offerings in bookstores, reading through them (that's 'reading' through them) until ...

A great series...
The Horrible Harry series is terrific for elementary school-age children, and this book is especially appropriate for those entering or in third grade!

Follow the Money, Naturally
Yes, Mr. Trudeau is a promoter and a bit over the top. But he's also an agent of change and audacious enough to speak out when the Emperor has not clothes. We can all identify with his recurring outburst in the face of endless obtuseness of his adversaries: Mad as Hell and Not Going to Take It Anymore. Remember, if we all were completely reasonable and content people, nothing would ever ...

Horrible Harry and the Green Slime
This book has four chapters. In the first chapter the class picked secret pals. In the second chapter the principal found a cigarette under a cafeteria table. After that the class drew posters about the bad effects of smoking. In the third chapter they read Charlotte's Web. They put cobwebs all over the school. In the last chapter Harry taught the class how to spike their hair. My favorite ...

loveable set of characters
I first started reading Suzy Kline books when she became my son's second grade teacher. She is a gem and she writes books about things that happen to her characters that kids can relate to. I am such a fan that I bought everything she and her husband Rufus have written. All of her characters are good kids that get into little messy situations, and by the end of the story they have discovered how ...

The Never Ending Story
'Treason', is the history of liberal democratic blunders in America beginning with the 'McCarthy Era' and ending with the current day Hollywood elites. Eventually you realize that even liberal democrats can't make this many mistakes. The only thing capable of consistently failing from event after event, from generation after generation, is an agenda. We currently need oil. So let's drill for ...

Guess the Secret...
I thought it was an awesome book. All those 6 characters put in one book makes it absolutely hysterical. I liked when Harry sends the letters to Song Lee--you can find the letter on page 9. My favorite character is Song Lee because she is different from Mary, and she likes Harry. You'll have to find out the rest....

Repetition is the key to learning
Our whole family enjoys reading this book. With its repetition of the "horrible, terrible..." day, we now can all read those parts together. And when the kids have a bad day, we can refer to the book (and talk about going to Australia). It helps to make light of a bad day.

Great book! -(if you're not sexually repressed and have an intelligent sense of humor)
I loved this book. I could not put it down! I wouldn't suggest it to just anyone, though. This book is not for you if you are a sexually repressed, uptight person. The humor in this book is crude at times, but always intelligent, in my opinion. I'm an instant fan and can't wait until Mr. Schaeffer writes his next book!
The Angry Aztecs and the Incredible Incas (Horrible Histories Collections)

Funny and Informative
There has been some criticism of the Horrible Histories as misinformed and simplistic, but this particular volume is wonderful. I've studied the Aztecs by looking at the Florentine Codex and reading scholarly works on the subject, and the "Angry Aztecs" gets quite a lot of the information right. It is written so kids can understand it, but anyone with a sense of humor should enjoy it. It is ...

A kid tested winner
I read this book to a classroom of twenty third and fourth graders, and successfully kept their attention for almost half an hour. Engaging dialogue combined with situations immediately familiar to emerging readers makes this a great autumn read.

Shrieks of laughter followed by "Hey listen to this..."
The "Horrible Histories" books deliver up historical facts regarding American, European and World history in such an entertaining way for 7-12 year-olds, that the children may never notice how much they're learning. During a family vacation to the U.K. we first stumbled upon these books in the bookstore of one of the castles we toured and bought a couple volumes at our 9 & 12 year-olds' requests ...
