When You Are Engulfed in Flames
David Sedaris

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

"David Sedaris's ability to transform the mortification of everyday life into wildly entertaining art," ( The Christian Science Monitor ) is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this remarkable new book. Trying to make coffee when the water is shut off, David considers using the water in a vase of flowers and his chain of associations takes him from the French countryside to a hilariously uncomfortable memory of buying ...

Who needs to read this book? Everyone!
Modern America is in love with fitness. It seems that the quest for the body beautiful has reached epidemic proportions. However, most people only think about the physical benefits of exercise. It should come as no surprise that exercise is a good idea - for the body and the mind. Although marketing gurus would have us believe that everyone in America owns a Bowflex or an Ab-Roller, it seems that ...

James Patterson, Gabrielle Charbonnet

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Superb read, a must read for book lovers!
I read this marvelous book in a week-end! I simply couldn't put it down! Jane was both sympathetic and strong! Michael was perfection! If only all of us had a devoted imaginary friend such as that! Jane definitely needed one with a mother like Vivienne. It's truly a heartwarming, heart-tugging romance that will make you cry, laugh and most of all, sigh!!

The Vaccine Book
I loved this book, its really helpful in making vaccine discisions for your children. Its nice to be able to go the the Dr., and know more about the vaccines they are giving your children than they do! I think every parent who is in doubt about vaccines should read this book. It is not anti or pro vaccine, just the facts.

The Final Warning (Maximum Ride, Book 4)

70 reviews
James Patterson

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Where did they plot go?
So I love the series and that is why this book didn't get one star but two. If you haven't read the series go ahead and read all of them and just skip this one. This book was more about global warming (yes, we need to care for the earth) than the story that so many readers have been wanting to continue. We were wanting to read about Max and the flock, not about anything else. Why sacrifice a fun ...

Swine Not?: A Novel
Jimmy Buffett

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Best-selling writer Jimmy Buffett weaves an irresistible new tale---filled with colorful characters, wry humor, and the pursuit of a very clever pig. When Southern belle Ellie McBride moves her twins from Vertigo, Tennessee to New York City , they wouldn't dream of leaving behind the family pig Rumpy. But the posh hotel where Ellie has found work (and living space) has "No Pets" writ large on its portal. So hiding Rumpy from the hotel ...

7th Heaven (The Women's Murder Club)

James Patterson, Maxine Paetro

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Kidnapping, Arson and Murder, Fast-Paced & Very Good
I've read all the Alex Cross books up to about a couple years ago and I've read Honeymoon, also by Mr. Patterson and liked it, but I've never read any of the Woman's Murder Club books. I don't know why, probably because there's so much stuff out there to read and not nearly enough time, especially if you want to have a life. That said, I got a call from a friend of mine in Reno and during the ...

The Host: A Novel

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Heartbreakingly wonderful
No one does despair like Stephenie Meyer. Just like in the Twilight series, Meyer does a wonderful job of describing great depths of emotion, particularly love and loss, without once sounding trite or typical. This book was, however, very different from the Twilight series, mostly in the fact that about 75% of it was so sad that I worried that if it didn't end on a positive note, I'd have a ...

The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two (Revised and Updated Edition)

792 reviews
William Sears, Martha Sears, ...

Little, Brown and Company, 2003

My reference bible for the first year!
The has been our go-to reference in the first year of our daughter's life. My natural instincts told me that the "cry it out" method was not for me, and this book was very affirming. The beauty of Dr. Sears is that he approaches childrearing from a holistic perspective - find what's best for you and works for your family. And don't worry about what anyone else says! In 12 months, we have lost ...

Living on the Black: Two Pitchers, Two Teams, One Season to Remember

2 reviews
John Feinstein

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

99% perfect
This was an excellent book, with the notable exception of a few errors - typos on last names, mistaking the Trenton Thunder as the AAA Yankees affiliate (it's the AA team), and biggest of all, stating that the Mets and Nationals (it was the Phils) were in a first place tie on the last day of the season. Other than those things, this book was fantastic, giving timely insight into what goes on ...

James Donovan

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

DON'T MISS THIS ONE!
I have a shelf full of Little Big Horn Campaign, 1876, material, from Custer to the Indians to the archaeology of the battle, many from University of Oklahoma Press. I need another book on this subject like I need to be older. Hah! But after checking this book out from the local library I can only say that this book deserves at least a 5-star rating, shame it cannot be given more. It is a ...

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X
James Patterson

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

The greatest superpower of all isn't to be part spider, part man, or to cast magic spells -- the greatest power is the power to create. Daniel has that power. Daniel's secret abilities -- like being able to manipulate objects and animals with his mind or to recreate himself in any shape he chooses -- have helped him survive. But Daniel doesn't have a normal life. He is the protector of the earth, the Alien Hunter, with a mission beyond what ...

Girls in Trucks

Katie Crouch

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Darling
I was reluctant to buy this novel because I thought it was a coming of age story that would end somewhere around the college years. I was pleasantly surprised to have been wrong. This book was a pleasant and easy read with several unexpected twists and turns. It covered a span of many years and felt true to life, as though it could have happened to someone I know. I got the pleasure of ...

Marcus Luttrell

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

Powerful!
Marcus Luttrell writes a powerful book that shows the hardship of training, the perfection of the SEAL, and the courage of men. Marcus is one of the participants of Operation Redwing where nineteen special forces members died in one day. I remember the news stories back when I was in college. I remember seeing Michael Murphy's photo on television. Murphy is probably my idea of how a SEAL ...

Little, Brown and Company, 2005

A Must Read!!
This book helped me to change my life. It has provided me with the education to make healthier choices. It's not a diet. I believe this book should be required reading for school children in Jr. High. Every parent should read this book!
