The Other Boleyn Girl (Movie Tie-In) (Boleyn)

Wonderful piece of historical fiction!
I simply couldn't put this book down! Just read one bit at the bookstore and I promise you won't be disappointed! It is well written, creative, and NEVER a dull moment in the life of the court! I loved how the author revived the Boleyn family and created such wonderful characters that you want to see succeed in life! You want to meet them, spend the day with them, and help them! It was just a ...

Holes
I bought this book for my son who entered 6th grade this year. It was a mandatory reading grade that had to be done by August 1, 2008. I listened with intent each time he read a chapter to me. Just as he finsihed the book, they actually showed the movie Holes, on television. So, I got to enjoy the book again.

Definitely a Acquired Taste
I have looked at some of the reviews here, and am a bit surprised as the number of people who hated this book. It is a challenge to read, but this is no "Ulysses." The main themes can be understood with a little careful attention. Some have compared McCarthy's style to Hemingway's but this is not a fair comparision. McCarthy's prose is far more complex. Hemingway wrote arresting prose, but at ...

Supernatural: Bone Key (Supernatural)

Finally!
After being quite disappointed by Nevermore and (to a lesser extent) Witch's Canyon, I am so glad to be able to write a good review of a Supernatural novel. Bone Key is fantastic - it's fast paced, well written, and very spooky! It would have made a great two part episode. As to complaints about the relationship between Sam and Dean, I have to disagree. I think that they were written well ...

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Vintage Books, 2007

A half-century story of unrequited love
An achingly beautiful story of Fermina and Florentino, adolescent sweethearts unable to consummate their love until old age. An exceptional half-century story of unrequited love. Highly recommended.

Chuck Palahniuk

Anchor, 2008

the best of the series.
The author of fight club, Chuck Palahniuk's novel Choke is my personal favorite. Its about a guy on his fourth step in his sexalocholic class and has to visit his mother who is out of her mind. This novel is very good in humor and makes you want if your personality was shaped my you own mom. I recomemend that anyone who has like the movie fight club will like this book. I also recomenend his ...

Harry, A History: The True Story of a Boy Wizard, His Fans, and Life Inside the Harry Potter Phenomenon
Melissa Anelli

Pocket, 2008

The Harry Potter Books Were Just The Beginning of the Story... During the brief span of just one decade, hundreds of millions of perfectly ordinary people made history: they became the only ones who would remember what it was like when the Harry Potter saga was still unfinished. What it was like to seek out friends, families, online forums, fan fiction, and podcasts to get a fix between novels. When the potential death of a character was a ...

My 5yr old son is a huge fan of Magic School Bus series. Especially, Solat system and human body are his favorite among them. He memorizes the order of all the plantes in the Solar system. Draw pictures about it and make planets with playdough. Great book!

Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files, Book 8)

Jim Butcher

Roc, 2007

Another intriguing Harry Dresden adventure
Book 8 in the Dresden File series; another fine addition to Jim Butcher's ongoing series featuring wizard/detective Harry Dresden. Something unusual is happening at a local horror film festival and Harry is asked to check it out. From there Harry, Murph, Bob (everyone's favorite, well OK mine at least, libidinous skull), Thomas and Mouse (his dog) go from bystanders to main combatants as ...

If you are a Star Wars fan than this book is definitely for you. It goes over the characters, story, and technology of the new movie and the TV show. I think this book is excellent in every way!

The Dying Anim (Movie Tie-in Edition/Elegy) (Vintage International)

Philip Roth

Vintage, 2008

A history of 20th-century sexual America
I think you have two choices when reading this book: be utterly horrified, or take it as a succinct bit of honesty about sex. Which you choose will depend, in all likelihood, on whether you're a woman or a man. Many women will see it as rank misogyny. I don't begrudge them that belief. I happen to think, on the contrary, that it is an absolute masterpiece. It does for the sexual revolution what ...

Jeffrey Eugenides

Grand Central Publishing, 1994

Unusual narrators, exaggerated concept, and intelligent storytelling make this readable & thought-provoking. Highly recommended
In American suburbia, the five Lisbon sisters, ages 12 through 17, commit suicide. The youngest goes first, and after their parents sequester the family within the house, her sisters follow a year afterward. Their story is told by a group neighborhood of boys, now men, who in their fanatic obsession with the Lisbon sister have pieced together the events leading up to--and possibly causing--the ...

A Walk to Remember

Nicholas Sparks

Grand Central Publishing, 2004

A Beautiful, and Poignant Novel!
A WALK TO REMEMBER was a novel I checked out from the library because I was tired of fast-paced action novels by John Grisham and Tom Clancy (don't get me wrong; I love Grisham and Clancy). I like dramas and romances, so I checked this one out. It's the first Sparks novel I've read. I was stunned. Not only was it intelligent and engrossing, but it pierced your soul; it could make you laugh ...

Jurassic Park

Michael Crichton

Ballantine Books, 1991

A Dark, Exciting, and Engaging Techno-Thriller!
I saw the film JURASSIC PARK and loved it (who didn't?). Steven Spielberg had once again proved his genious. Later, I decided to read the book by Michael Crichton. I loved it just as much, if not more, than the film. It was my first Crichton book, and I was very impressed by his talent of weaving science and probability in his mile-a-minute plot lines. The movie plot closely followed that of ...

The Magic School Bus Inside the Human Body (Magic School Bus)

Scholastic Press, 1990

Fifth Food Group: Magic School Buses
Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen outdo themselves in "The Magic School Bus: Inside the Human Body." It is their most ambitious collaboration yet, and it definitely doesn't disappoint. As is the custom, the third book in this science series (written in 1989) picks up where the second story left off. Ms. Frizzle is showing her students a filmstrip about the human body. "We're going to learn all about ...
