Sue Townsend
HarperTeen, 2003
He is 13 3/4!
This stellar piece of fiction written by fantastic author, Sue Townshend, will have you in pieces literally from the very beginning.
Adrian Mole is coping with being 13...and 3/4. His life is complicated and miserable. He swoons and has almost depressing sentiments for a girl named Pandora. This is a tale of his life.
The story is piognant and tender at times, reminiscent of people's lives ...

The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business 6 reviews
Werner Holzwarth
Chrysalis Children's Books, 2001
Classic child-focused humor
I first encountered this book when I took a Children's Literature course in college. A bestseller in Germany, it had been banned in the United States because of its subject matter, so our professor had to show us the original German book and translate it for us. After our initial shock wore off, it had our entire class of English majors in stitches!
Basically, someone or something poops on ...

Simply Fabulous Book
This book is a simply wonderful book to share with chilren. It is beautifully written and illustrated, and has a great message to share as well. I am an elementary music teacher, and read it to my classes every year. It has become a mainstay in the few short years I've owned it, and my students love it as much as I do.

Mike Oehler
Mole Publishing Company, 1981
Great Ideas Brilliant Research
I enjoyed this book very much and used it as a basis for designing an underground building for my plantation resort in India. Mike goes into good detail concerning how to build an inexpensive home using his techniques and there are plenty of pictures to help you understand the procedures. I haven't seen anything else out there as good as this for underground building...if you do please let me ...

Schaum's Outline of College Chemistry8 reviews
Jerome L Rosenberg, Lawrence Epstein
McGraw-Hill, 1996
This is what a chemistry help book should be!
Over the passed few months, I have been buying a lot of chemistry help books to help me survive college chemistry. I have bought the more popular ones like Chemistry for Dummies and the Complete Idiot's Guide to Chemistry. Both of these books are ok, but the part that they really lack is that they didn't adequately help me in the math of chemistry. In fact, it's actually kind of misleading to ...

Spy Wars: Moles, Mysteries, and Deadly Games 14 reviews
Tennent H. Bagley
Yale University Press, 2008
Serious Important Book
While this book is likely not written for the general public , in my opinion it is one of the most important books written in the past few years. I also am a former intelligence officer . I had a number of dealings with James Angleton during my 20 plus years of service. The numermous allegations that Angleton was paranoid constituted total nonsense. The fact that Pete Bagley and Jim Angleton who ...

I just came across this title in my Amazon recommendations. I read it about 15 years ago and I STILL think about it and recommend it. Absolutely fascinating. I would love to see a follow up to this story.

Then and Now (Usborne Talkabout Books)3 reviews
Heather Amery
Usborne Books, 2008
Interesting and Educational
My son who is 7 loves this book. He loves to pour over this book and talk about the differences between different eras. This book is essentially a picture book with some writing. The pictures depict two scenes side by side from different times in history. For example, it might show the front of a general store with a dirt road, a stage coach, and wagon pulled by horses, women in long dresses etc. ...

The Bureau and the Mole: The Unmasking of Robert Philip Hanssen, the Most Dangerous Double Agent in FBI ... 90 reviews
David A. Vise
Atlantic Monthly Press, 2002
Frightening!
A frightening look into the mind and works of a socially inadequate FBI Agent who betrayed the American people, trading their safety over cash and diamond. The most disturbing fact was his fantasy of retiring from the FBI and move to Moscow and train future spies. The author did an excellent job in telling the lives of a deceitful Hanssen and of a dedicated Director Freeh.
Undoubtedly ...

Great series.
Firstly I wanted to clarify for people that might want to know, exactly how this series runs. I have bought and read all the books in the Adrian Mole series and I was dissappointed not to find anywhere to tell me which ones to get. So as a result I have them all.

everything you wanted to know about 5 element acupuncture and more
I recently purchased this text at the recommendation of my instructor for a 5 Element course for physician acupuncturists. I have found it to be invaluable to introduce and reinforce the ideas presented in the course. In short--it's excellent. Buy it.

The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit27 reviews
Werner Holzwarth, Wolf Erlbruch
Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2007
Not as good in English
I've had this book in Korean for quite some time now. I would routinely translate it for my friends to their great amusement. The Korean version is much more frank in the subject matter, though. The title is literally "Who pooped on my head?" with numerous explicit jokes as to the material at hand. When I saw the English title of "The Story of the Little Mole who went in Search of Whodunit" ...

Adrian Mole Grows Up, Sort Of...
The Adrian Mole saga which began with Adrian's secret diary (aged thirteen & three quarters) continues, as the famous loser moves into his mid-thirties. He's still wildly grandiose, his grip on reality is shaky at best, but life is starting to grind him down. He's living in a posh flat he can't possibly afford. He's still hopeless infatuated with Pandora, he finds himself (somehow) engaged to ...

The Naked Mole Rat Letters
One of the best books I've read all year - and I'm 41 years old! I read this book to my children (9 & 11, but I confess I sneaked ahead on my own too. Amato writes very engagingly and is quite funny. The voice and frustrations of Frankie, the 12 year old lead character who is afraid of her widowed father's interest in dating a new woman are right on the mark. Frankie finds an email from this ...

Dot to Dot in Space (Dot to Dot)1 review
Karen Bryant-Mole
Educational Development Corporation, 2003
great dot-to-dot books!
I really like Usborne's dot-to-dot books. Rather than just going up to 10 or 20 like most dot-to-dots, the numbers in these go up as high as 40. So they're great for kindergarteners who are still learning higher number sequencing. Even better, there's a number line at the bottom of each page to help the child if he forgets what number comes next. Plus these books are in full color. Most ...

found a great way to re-use these
Our almost 6 year old boy will go through these really quickly (and he has 2 younger brothers who will like them sometime) so I cut the pages out of this book and slipped them inside Mead's sheet protectors for 3-ring binders. He completes the puzzles with overhead markers and then when he is done (or makes a mistake) we wipe it off with a wet cloth and it is like new again! He likes mazes, ...

It's All Greek to Me!: A Tale of a Mad Dog and an Englishman, Ruins, Retsina--and Real Greeks11 reviews
John Mole
Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2006
Amusing, absorbing, and just plain funny
If you enjoyed Memoirs of an American Housewife in Japan, and A Year In Provence, you won't be disappointed with It's All Greek to Me! You'll love it. All three books have the same ingredient, which makes them so enjoyable: humor. The sub-title: A Tale of a Mad Dog and an Englishman, Ruins, Retsina - and Real Greeks, tells it all. As an Englishman, John Mole truly captures the psyche of these ...
