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 ...

Black Beauty (Children's Classics)

Anna Sewell

Borders Press, 1986

Beautiful
I read this book a while back when my husband, a horse lover, introduced me to it. A great tale of the life of a horse that teaches values to anyone who reads it. I have learned much about these beautiful animals and can see why my husband loves them. Strongly recommended for your children, you and they will love it. Anna del C. Author of "The Elf and the Princess" and "Trouble in the Elf ...

Satisfaction Guaranteed
I was very satisfied with the level of customer service that I received from Amazon.com. It is definetly a site that I will be coming back to from here on. As a student I am always on the lookout for a better and cheaper deal, so this is definetly one of the first places that I will go when I have to get more books for the next semester.

Four to Score (Stephanie Plum, No. 4)

Bounty Hunting, yay!
This is the fourth book in the Stephanie Plum series. I really like Morelli, but I know either he's about to do something stupid in the next book or two, or Ranger is about to do something droolworthy, because aliances are about to shift. (Hey, I was spoiled, you get spoiled too. Though I don't really know enough to spoil anyone.) The only thing I don't like about the Stephanie Plum series is ...

Walden

Henry David Thoreau

Borders Press, 1996

The Hobo Philosopher
My first copy of this book was indubitably from some other publisher. So I'm not commenting on this particular volume but the content of the work itself. I have always loved this book but it wasn't until recent years that I realized what a controversial book this was. Thoreau published this book at his own expense and he sold very few copies. Later on he stored most of his unsold copies in an ...

Treasure Island (Children's Classics)

Robert Louis Stevenson

Borders Press, 1986

Tense, Readable Adventure
This is a solid condensed version of the classic search for buried treasure in the late 1700's. Author Robert Louis Stevenson draws readers in early as the Captain arrives at the Benbow Inn in Britain, focused on incoming ships, and warning young Jim Hawkins of one-legged visitors. The story picks up as Billy Bones arrives, bringing danger and discovery of the treasure map, a discovery that ...

Heidi

Johanna Spyri

Borders Press, 1986

A revelation
When I was a child, I was struck in the eye with a rock thrown by my brother. I was injured to a point that I was bedridden for 6 weeks, and had to take one inch steps in order to heal my eye. I was also confined to a dark room. My mother would read "Heidi" to me as I lie in misery. The doctor said that I had to lie still. He did not want me to injure my eye even more than I had. Heidi is a ...

Little Men

Louisa May Alcott

Borders Press, 1991

My favorite Alcott novel...
Mention the name Louisa May Alcott, and most people will instantly think of "Little Women." But in my mind, the less often discussed "Little Men" is just as great, if not better. The story picks up shortly after the conclusion of "Little Women," with Jo and Frederick Bhaer running a school at Plumfield. Along with their own little Rob and Teddy, they are busy raising the neglected children of ...

The Far Side of the World - Unabridged

Patrick O'Brian

Unexpected plot twists and delightful travelogue make this my favorite O'Brian novel so far
I am working through Patrick O'Brian's famed Aubrey-Maturin series in order, and am both proud and sad to say that I've reached the midway point with Book 10, "The Far Side of the World." But it is without reservation that I say that this is my favorite novel in the series so far. Part of that enjoyment stems directly from my enjoyment of first nine books in this series - this is not an ...

book or film review?
Amazon's reviewing system isn't working for this BOOK - most of the reviews seem to be for a film version - and one that is not in keeping with the book at all, as well. Anyway, MY review is for the BOOK. I wish I had discovered it as a child. Or at least in time to read it to my own children. A message to all of those who worry about 'Pagan' content in children's books: forget Harry ...

This is a classic we wanted our grand daughter to read. The illustrations are professional and wonderful
