The Godfather 364 reviews
Joe Mantegna
B & B Audio, 2001
If you liked the movie, you'll love the book
Did the movie leave you begging for more? Well, there are the sequels, but this story is the strongest one, and the book gives you all the extras that would never fit into one film. Get the book and many of the side stories that were only touched on in the film will suddenly spread out before you in full detail. Definitely a gripping and enjoyable read.

Dracula341 reviews
Bram Stoker
B & B Audio, 1992
An old fashioned tale that doesn't offend
Bram Stoker's "Dracula" was first published in 1897, and as one reads this work, it is overwhelmingly apparent that it was written during a time when morals and virtues were held in a much higher regard than they are today.
The book is comprised primarily of various journal entries from six main characters. Two of these main characters are remarkable women, possessed of lofty talent and high ...

Time Machine (2 Cassettes) 324 reviews
H. G. Wells
B & B Audio, 1992
The epic tale of all time
H G Wells has awakened the world with his art of tale through the travel of time. He is the inspiration of every time travel writer in existence today, with no exception, myself included. Along with great classics like Twenty-thousand Leagues Under the Sea, I remember the first time reading these classics. I was in awe. Though time travel, a genre given life by H G Wells is the ultimate epic ...

Valley of the Dolls136 reviews
Jacqueline Susann
B & B Audio Inc, 1998
Rambling, operatic and much more than "Chick Lit"
On the back of the book, there is a quote by a reviewer who spouts that most tired of cliches "I literally couldn't put it down" or something liked that. For once, I'd have to agree wholeheartedly - 450 pages and never a dull moment. The prose is lively, sensitive and articulate. The story itself - the trials and tribulations of three women in the entertainment industry over a 20 year period - ...

Lady Chatterley's Lover87 reviews
D. H. Lawrence
B & B Audio Inc, 1992
I've read three books by Lawrence...this was the only one I liked
I picked up Lady Chatterley's Lover (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (Barnes & Noble Classics) from Amazon for $6.95. In the absence of an available Everyman's Cloth Edition, the B&N is likely the way to go. In terms of supplemental material it is quite comparable to this: (Lady Chatterley's Lover (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)). These materials are:

How to Make Anyone Fall in Love With You106 reviews
B & B Audio, 1997
Fell in Love with this Book!
This book was amazing! A guy friend of mine had given me some tips from it years ago and recommended I should read it. I finally got around to buying it a couple of months ago and finally sat down to read it. It offered great tips about communication and gender differences. I often found myself reading the sections geared towards men and thinking "Yes! That's exactly how I would like a guy ...

The Sea-Wolf86 reviews
Stan Winiarski
B & B Audio, 1993
excellent read!
The Seawolf is a great story, definitely written in the early 1900s style, similar to Jules Verne, etc. In a way, it makes you want to be out on the open sea!

Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables Novels)310 reviews
Elizabeth Rude

Truly a wonderful novel.
No matter what age you are or what genre of book you usually read, this is a terrific work of art. Everyone should take a rainy afternoon off to sit back, relax and read one of the greatest novels ever published. (And all other novels in the Anne of Green Gables series is just as exceptional!)

An Absolute Treasure!
I can't believe I missed reading this growing up. My daughter and I just read this together. It was wonderful, and we both loved it. She likes to read books over and over, and I think she will appreciate reading this even more when she gets a little older. She loved the idea of secrets, twins, and the transformation of Mary. Having not had similar experiences to the characters in the books, ...

Enter, The Man . . .
This is another of those wonderful books my mother pressed into my hands when I was just a kid. I think I was eleven or twelve when Mom handed me the hardbound edition of this book--complete with C. M. Russell's beautiful illustrations. And I fell in love with the West, and with western romance.
Today, I live in Wyoming. I've been to Medicine Bow; I've been to Laramie; and I've been to the ...

Mars rocks!.....Even in 1912...If you love sci fi this is a must read
Mars rocks....even in 1912
I just finished read A Princess Of Mars by Mr. Burroughs. Its amazing to note that he wrote this in 1912. The science sounds plausible and for those items where he can't nail things down he has the 9 rays of the sun to account for anti gravity and an atmosphere generator to overcome the problems of Mars atmosphere. As for John Carters transport to Mars, I don't ...

Jack London - Part Prolific Novelist, Part Wolf
After reading "The Call of the Wild" or more precisely, after being transferred to another place and time, or even more to the point after being totally submerged into the being of this animal, I'm left completely awe-struck by London's work.
To see what Buck saw, to feel the forces and the instincts that he felt... that is the power of this book. Here's a passage from the third chaper to ...

And Introducing Monsieur Hercule Poirot
"The Mysterious Affair At Styles" was Agatha Christie's first mystery novel, in which she introduced her enigmatic and eccentric Belgium detective, Hercule Poirot. She often later lamented that she should have made Poirot younger to begin with as he was to be the star detective in many of her mysteries afterward. But her retired police officer began his magnificent orbit with this intriguing ...

This book is a quick read packed full of great ideas. While none are unique or amazing in and of thmselves, they really spark your imagination and help you think about your marketing differently. Of course no business is going to be able to use all of the suggestions, smart businesses will figure out ways to use as many as possible. I try to pick this book up at least once a month and read a ...

The Night Stalker by Philip Carlo
As I am concerned about justice in America, especially in regard to homicide and serial killers, I found Philip Carlo's book completely fascinating in its depth and broad perspective. There were no cardboard
characters in this book; there were only real, human, feeling, people; people who prayed and cried and despaired. Obviously Carlo researched
this story thoroughly. What drama! We hear on ...

DO NOT READ NOVEL SYNOPSIS
Because it does not occur between the covers. Apparently, Bill changed his mind at the last second and do not have Ben Raines and his Rebels heading to Northern Maine. Instead they make it to New York City...meet up with some resistance fighters who are battling punks and thugs...etc and eventually clear the town. Then the Rebels head to the desert southwest to finish off the gangs headed by ...
