Wonderful Reading Experience
I've owned two editions of The Lord of the Rings before this, both were one-volume versions. These hardcovers are brilliantly impressively large, the paper quality is good, and they are bound in a red cloth/material under the glossy printed jackets. Most Lord of the Rings fans will be familiar with Alan Lee's illustrations already, and they serve this set well. I probably read the ...

THE ORIGINAL IDEA OF PRISTINE SURVIVAL

A Masterful Classic
One of the best books ever written presented in a way that will make it stand out on any bookshelf.

Top Shelf Tolkien
I recently purchased the single volume illustrated version of the Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings (Illustrated Edition). This is probably only for the (at least) semi-fanatical Tolkien fan. I had owned a set of soft cover individual books (all four: Hobbit, Fellowship, Two Towers, Return) that were published in 1964 (before I was born), and they had, ...

Anne Rice

Knopf, 2008

Why do we need THIS Jesus?
It's almost a high-school literature teacher's joke: Divine 1st person point of view. Any literary person worth their salt knows the only kind of omniscient point of view is 3rd person (or 2nd, in the extremely rare case of Augustine's Confessions). But Anne Rice blithely jumps those literary tracks (as she jumped another, from vampire lit to theography) in order to give us the 1st person ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1999

Who needs Rowling when you've got Golding?
LORD OF THE FLIES, by William Golding, is one of the best books to come along in literature since Chaucer and his CANTERBURY TALES. Mr. Golding writes beautifully and poetically of this tragic commentary on humans and our society, making the story of these young boys all the more poignant and thought-provoking. This book is not for the weak of mind, nor the faint of heart. Several high ...

Houghton Mifflin, 2005

A perplexing and endlessly strange masterpiece
Before anything else is said about it, it should be noted that in the context of serious 20th century fiction, 'The Lord of the Rings' is a really, really weird book. A lot of people, most notably literary reviewers, literary journalists, public intellectuals and academics, never miss a chance to pour scorn on the book and dismiss it as rubbish. It is, however, enormously popular, and has been ...

The Thief Lord really is that great
This book starts out with two runaway brothers, Prosper and Bo, who ran away from their aunt and uncle who were trying to separate them. Prosper and Bo run away to Venice, a place where their mother had always told them to be the most beautiful place in the world. There they meet up with a group of other runaways, who hide in an abandoned movie theater. The head of this group, Scipio, AKA the ...

Cliffs Notes, 2000

A New View
As I was reading the novel i understood the story, but did not understand the symbolism contained in Golding's work. The Cliff Notes explain the imagery through character analysis and comments on each chapter making the novel very understandable. It was very interesting in how the book pulled together showing a parallel of modern society, not just an adventure story of boys on an island, that ...

"To drive Your Enemy Before You..."
"And hear the lamentation of the women." Poor China - seems they can't get a break these days. Like it's not bad enough with the "Free Tibet" crowd and the Olympic Torch fiasco, here we've got Conn Iggulden piling on, sending Genghis Khan and his fearsome horde crashing through the "Chins" walled cities and wrecking the kind of havoc made popular in John Kerry's now infamous "Jenghis" Khan ...

Anne Rice

Ballantine Books, 2008

Powerful
She built her reputation writing books about vampires and witches, exploring her own faith as her characters wrestled with timeless themes of good and evil. Now Anne Rice has taken on the story of Christ himself. Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt is a novel written as a first-person account by Jesus of his very early years. In an afterword Rice details her research -- the years she spent studying ...

Lord of the Flies (Casebook) (Casebook Edition Text Notes and Criticism)

William Golding

Perigee Trade, 1987

Not 'Hatchet'
Since a George Orwell reference is obviously required here, I read 'Animal Farm' directly before Lord of the Flies. And I was foolish enough to think that Animal farm is a great book! It can hardly stand on all four legs when measuring up to Lord of the Flies. Just as 'Animal Farm' is a parody of the Russian Revolution, 'Lord of the Flies' is more of a parable for mankind than an inspiration for ...

Touchstone, 2007

Fantastic!
I love this dvd and have watched it several times. As a former dancer, I think this is one of the best staged dance-plays ever done. The leads are wonderful, but so are the supporting players. I love Riverdance too, but this is more like a dance musical that tells a continuous story, as opposed to a variety show with a constant theme. The tension is wonderful, the flute music is beautiful, ...

This book on the names of God is awesome! So much information about the character of God, and how one can have a personal relationship with God and live in light of His Word, His truth. Wonderful book ... Wonderful study. Very indepth, and power packed.

Duty, Honor, Country
The mark of a successful coming of age story is that you, the reader, can see yourself reflected in the protagonist. For me, this book worked very well. Will McLean, the main character and first-person narrator, a second generation Irish boy, son of a Marine, a mongrel outsider in the pedigreed Carolina Military Institute searches for himself, the man within the boy who is being molded by a ...

A Great Edition of the Greatest Work of Fiction Ever Written
I have no intention of debating the merits of The Lord of the Rings. The work speaks for itself; if you are one of its few detractors, your silly comments are not worth a reply, and you should go read some Philip Pullman. Here, I will simply address the quality of this edition. I recently picked up this set because I needed new reading copies (the pages were falling out of my old ones), and ...

Truley 10 stars
One day I looked at myself in a full length mirror. As I stood there in my underwear my eyes closed in shame. I couldnt believe I allowed myself to get to this point. After three children, I felt like I would never get my body (any body) back. I fell on the floor in my bedroom and wept for God to show me what to do. Gluttony was my biggest sin. My idol. My obsession. I cried to God to save ...

Rules
Rules is an excellent book. Rule is about a twelve year old girl named Cathrine who has a brother named David who has autism. Cathrine tries to teach him rules like " No toys in the fish tank and "Keep your pants on in public." I think Rules is a wounderful book to read beacuse it's about Cathrine trying to make friends and a girl moves in next door and tries to make friends. If you want to know ...

Beautifully done, beautifully written!
This book is one of my absolute favorites! Not only is the information within EXTREMELY well written, there are many photographs and the artwork is among the best I've ever seen. There are overviews of the Spring Feasts and the Fall Feasts and an explanation of Jewish Time, broken down into the Jewish Day,Week and Month. There are chapters on The Feasts Of Leviticus 23 (the 7 feasts) as well ...
