Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable

175 reviews
Seth Godin

Portfolio Hardcover, 2003

Short, Sweet, and Accessible
At the heart of this book is the notion of "Moore's idea diffusion curve". It's just a bell-curve that shows innovators (sneezers), early adopters, early/late majority, and laggards. The central theme of the book is that you need to target the front of that curve by appealing your "remarkable" product to them as a niche, and treat them very specially. Contrary to the most popular review here ...

Purple, Green and Yellow childhoods.
I loved this book! It takes me back to the days when I myself would beg my mom for markers / crayons / colored pencils, then promise not to color of things that shouldn't be colored on only to go ahead and color on myself or my brothers. Robert Munsch himself is just a genius with words. When you read one of his books i'ts like you can almost hear him reading it along side you. I was fortunate ...

Captain Underpants
My kids love, love, love this line of books. My only problem is they read them so much and with the Flip-o-rama, the pages come apart real easy and fall out of the book. So I wish they were made a little sturdier. Other then that, love them!

The Color Purple

Pocket, 1990

GREAT BOOK
I have now read this book twice, once as a high school student and then again for one of my college classes. I love this book. Each time I read it I get something new out of it. I think I is a book that once old enough everyone should give it a shot. The only bad thing is that this is a book that you either love of hate..there is no happy middle. I loved it and will no doubt read it again!

Purple Hibiscus: A Novel

62 reviews
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Anchor, 2004

Perfect
This is such a beautifully written, raw, heartbreaking book. There's a great deal regarding wealth and exploring what it really means to be "rich" or privileged. It is somewhat critical of the impact of the very rigid, self-righteous, culture-obliterating form of Roman Catholicism practiced by some. Though she attempts to make Eugene, the narrator's father, dynamic, I don't think most readers ...

Everything I wanted to know about attracting Purple Martins!
My husband and I invested in a Purple Martin House, but didn't have a clue how to entice them to our back yard! I have several of the Stokes bird books and have always found them informative, easy to use, and excellent photography. I found all of this to be true in their Purple Martin Book.The book starts with Purple Martin basics, how to attract, and something I hadn't even thought of, when to ...

Lilly's brand new purse
This story is about a girl who got a brand new purse. She really wants to show it to her classmates, but her teacher Mr. Slinger wants her to wait at an appropriate time.

Plus she's very anxious to show it ...

The Best WWII Infantryman Memoir ever Written, Bar None
Suppose that one of the men in the Band of Brothers had also been a top-caliber writer with a keen eye for detail, and a man who wasn't afraid to tell his story without glossing over the grey moral and ethical middle areas all men face in combat, and you will only begin to understand the greatness of this book. As a WWII writer, I've read literally hundreds of memoirs, but none hit me so ...

Ride a Purple Pelican (Mulberry Books)

Jack Prelutsky

HarperTrophy, 1997

An absolute delight...!
For those who appreciate silliness, whimsey, and the supple flow of language used well, this book is an absolute delight. While many children's book authors try using rhyme in their works, few do it with the gracefulness and sense of sheer fun that poet Jack Prelutsky brings to the form. Add to his words the colorful, kooky draftsmanship of artist Garth Williams, and you've got an instant ...

This isn't by Crockett Johnson but we can't tell the difference. The cheetahs are pretty neat and the elephant is so cute. We really like the ending!

Cliffs Notes, 1986

A very moving story
The Color Purple is about a young, shy, balck woman named Celie. At the beginning of the novel she is has no self confidence but at the end she has loads. With the help of other characters in the novel, Celie becomes more aware of her feelings towards other people. I thought this was a very enjoyable book to read and i'm sure there will not be one person who has read this book and didn't enjoy ...

Mr. Pine's Purple House

53 reviews
Leonard Kessler

Purple House Press, 2005

The lessons of life and learning how to read are ones that all children should learn
This is one of the best children's books ever written. While the drawings were created using a minimal number of colors, (purple, black and white) they are more than adequate to demonstrate what is happening in the story. This is in fact a plus, because the purpose of the book is to encourage reading and elaborate illustrations will distract from that goal. Mr. Pine lives on a street where all ...
