Falling Leaves: The Memoir of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter

345 reviews
Adeline Yen Mah

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 ...

What book will you get when you order this?
There seems to be some confusion, both in the editorial reviews and the customer reviews, about what edition is being referred to in this listing. the first editorial review correctly discusses the first edition as shorter and "less bloated" than the deathbed edition. however, the rest of the reviews seem to discuss either edition indiscriminately. the two are effectively different books. ...

Fantastic
Mesmerizing book. The style, the format, the writing, the dialogue on all levels keeps you glued to the pages. To coin a common phrase, "I couldn't put it down". Highly recommend.

Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation

An ode to an endangered species: Punctuation
This book is not a grammar or style guide. This is rather a book by someone who is passionate about language, in general, and punctuation, in particular. If you see a signboard of a shop advertising "CD's, Video's, DVD's, and Book's", and if you see another one declaring "No Dogs Please" and both of them trouble you immensely, then this book is for you. Such grammatical errors have troubled me ...

Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition (Thrift Edition)

Walt Whitman

Dover Publications, 2007

What More Can Be Said?
It's difficult to think of something appropriate to say about a man who spent his life trying to express the panorama of humanity through the lense of his own heart. From a drop of blood to the grandeur of a shipyard or a continent, he takes all readers on a journey wild with raving, raging, sorrow, longing, humbleness and pride. At once he is totally modern and yet rife with history. For ...

Finally...a concise, logical, tool
"Am I throwing the baby out with the bath water?" That question was keeping me awake nights. Let's face it, whether to end it or stay will impact every, single day for the rest of your life. You wouldn't be reading this book if you weren't having serious relationship problems, but let's be honest, you wouldn't be confused if the relationship were 100% bad. I think it is natural to think of ...

Love Me Never Leave me: Discovering the Inseparable Bond That Our Hearts Crave

Marilyn Meberg

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Right On Target
I first saw M.M. in the lobby of the Hyatt in Columbus this year. I didn't know who she was- but my sister did. So, as any mature, 44 yr. old woman would do, she walked right up to her, tapped her on the shoulder and said "I know who you are",and walked away smiling. I saw Ms. Meberg several times more over the next two days and really felt drawn by her speaking style so much so that I bought her ...

Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Why, Commas Really Do Make a Difference!

Lynne Truss

Putnam Juvenile, 2006

Great book for children of many ages
I ordered this book thinking it might be too young for my 9-year-old daughter. However, when it arrived it was pored over by not only my 9-year-old, but her 13-year-old brother as well. The copy I sent to my sister's children (ages 5 and 7) was also well-received. I recommend this book as a fun tool to teach and to re-enforce proper comma usage. It is a subtle and pain-free way to ...

I Hate You, Don't Leave Me: Understanding the Borderline Personality

Jerold J. Kreisman, Hal Straus

Avon, 1991

I hate you - don't leave me: what a sense of relief
Our family has come in contact with this disorder and nobody had a clue what was going on. The title alone drew me in because it related so closely to what I have been witnessing. Within the first three chapters, I almost wore out my highlighter. So much was similar to our situation that I was flabbergasted! I have a lot more to research on the subject, but this was a good start. I ...

Why Do Leaves Change Color? (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 2)

Betsy Maestro

HarperTrophy, 1994

Explaining fall
I used this book this semester while student teaching with a Kinder class. The kids really loved the illustrations, and the explanation of why the leaves fall. They were fascinated with the explanation of the pigment for red, yellow, and orange already being there. I'd reccomend it with older children too, as they might enjoy the science behind it even more, and there's more opportunities to ...

Trees, leaves, and bark are cool.
This book is so interesting. There is so much information inside this little book it is just great. Easily readable for kids and tells them everything they could want to know about trees, from the very top, to the very bottom. Makes a walk through the woods so much fun, being able to point out all the different trees and seeds you now know from reading this book. We love it!

Miss Malarkey Leaves No Reader Behind (Miss Malarkey)

4 reviews
Judy Finchler

Walker Books for Young Readers, 2006

you might see yourself...
Recommended book for Reading Teachers to share with students. A VERY reluctant reader just can't get into reading preferring instead his video games with his pals. One by one his friends become engaged readers, yet the first person narrator just can't enjoy ANY of the books she passes his way. Many Reading Specialists will recognize themselves in this teacher!

All the recipes in here sound very interesting. The dal recipes(tok dal and mountain dal) look like they'll turn out great. Being an Indian, I can certify this book ...

Frederick Buechner

Westminster John Knox Press, 2008

Before There Was Rob Bell, Anne Lamott and Brian McLaren, There Was - and Still Is - Frederick Buechner
Frederick Buechner was - and remains - a pioneer in spiritual memoir. A promising literary light whose works have attracted the attention of even New York's inner circle, Buechner dared to move further and further along his spiritual journey. He admits that his ordination as a Presbyterian minister was a terrible career move for a serious writer. He did it anyway. And, he's not easily ...

Stop me before I buy every copy of this Masterpiece
Where did I leave my glasses? Where did I leave my keys? Why did I come into this room... what was I after? What was I talking about? Did I call you or did you call me? This witty, well researched, clearly written analysis of what happens to our memory as we get older is comforting in the sense that it suggests we aren't losing our mind... just our memory... and it's gonna happen to ...

Signet, 1988

A must read for every women in love with men
After a painful break-up I was left with many questions. And this book has answered them all. Things I/he said/done that puzzeled me, have now found meaning and understanding. I might even say I was clueless about men until I read this book. I understand now that what I thought was a good relationship was anything but, thanks to this book. The first part (women men leave) gave me a lot of insight ...
