The Red Leather Diary: Reclaiming a Life through the Pages of a Lost Journal

7 reviews
Lily Koppel

Harper, 2008

Great summer read
For some reason I really love NY in the 20's and 30's. So this book was perfect for me. Plus, I do have to admit I am little nosey, so getting the opportunity to read someone diary sounded fun! Sometimes I have trouble with a book keeping my interest. I had no trouble at all with this one. It had some unexpected parts (PG-13 for sure)and some parts that were really interesting facts. I ...

The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature

64 reviews
Matt Ridley

Harper Perennial, 2003

A fascinating analysis!
This book is a fascinating analysis of research regarding human evolution. It puts together different theories of how we became the way we are, and reports both the supporting and rejecting evidence for each theory. Additionally, it is well-written and highly engaging.

Llama, Llama Red Pajama

Viking Juvenile, 2005

Llama Llama Red Pajama
My granddaughter received this book on Friday. Between Friday night and Saturday night while babysitting, I probably read it to her 20 times. My granddaughter is 20 months old and sometimes has a hard time sitting still to read, but with Llama Llama Red Pajama, she would sit still and have me read it to her again and again (we read it three times before bed both nights). She thinks the stuffed ...

Where the Red Fern Grows (A Bantam Starfire Book)

Wilson Rawls

Laurel Leaf, 1984

Ah a blast from the past
I had to read this book in elementary school, but I've been thinking about it lately and wondered if it was still around. Looks like it's not only around, but being used in schools just as regularly as before. Also with 1200+ reviews, I'm not sure it needs any more, including this one. I will say that even though I haven't read it in twenty years, that it still makes me want to shed a little ...

Careless in Red: A Novel

54 reviews
Elizabeth George

Harper, 2008

George is right on target
Careless in Red is vintage E. George. Great characters, an interesting plot, and a genuine rendering of Lynley's struggles after the death of his beloved wife Helen and their unborn son.

The Red Badge of Courage

Stephen Crane

Prestwick House Inc., 2004

Not a kids' book
As a British reader, I just recently read and reviewed this book over on Amazon.co.uk, and I thought I'd have a look at the US reviews for comparison - and immediately realised that this is obviously a "set book" in US schools. I can see the logic - the book is about a young person, it's short and (superficially) exciting, with lots of action, and it has some good moral/ethical themes ripe for ...

Little Red Book of Selling: 12.5 Principles of Sales Greatness

Every salesperson needs this
Practical, concise, and easy to read. I keep it with me at all times to make sure I am staying sharp.

The Red Tent (Bestselling Backlist)

15 reviews
Anita Diamant

Picador, 1998

An inspiration to women
Some would suggest that this novel is not worth the time it takes to read it based on the idea that it is not a correct Biblical account. Well, of course its not. This is not a religious fiction novel (in the sense that The Chosen would be, or one of the many series dedicated to expansion of knowledge and faith in Christianity) rather historical fiction. I found it to be inspiring, and ...

Red Summer: The Danger, Madness, and Exaltation of Salmon Fishing in a Remote Alaskan Village

Bill Carter

Scribner, 2008

An adrenalin-filled armchair adventure
Bill Carter is a fisher of men. There. I've spent two hours trying not to say it in the opening paragraph of my review of his new memoir Red Summer: The Danger, Madness and Exaltation of Salmon Fishing in a Remote Alaskan Village. But he is. In the memoir, he also happens to work as a salmon fisherman off the shores of Egegik, Alaska. The slim book put out by Scribner tells a solid ...

Big Red Barn (Spanish edition): El gran granero rojo

73 reviews
Margaret Wise Brown

Rayo, 1996

wonderful book, but....
I teach a pre-K program and didn't pay attention to the fact that it was a small, chunky book and not one to read during circle time! Gave it away and now have to find it in a bigger size!

Red Sox Rule: Terry Francona and Boston's Rise to Dominance

8 reviews
Michael Holley

HarperEntertainment, 2008

Red Sox dynasty building
A team almost never repeats as World Series Champions. But if the Red Sox should repeat this year, this book is as good an insight into the reasons why. Terry Francona has seen his share of ill fortune, but his approach to his players and to the Red Sox brass illustrate why he got, and deserved better fortune in Boston than he had in Philadelphia. A good man, and a good story well told.

The Red Pony (Penguin Modern Classics)

John Steinbeck

Penguin Classics, 2000

A Captivating Classic
THE RED PONY is a beautiful and simple classic by John Steinbeck, the great American novelist whose heart always goes out to the oppressed, the misfits, and the distressed. This story is about a young boy, but it provides reading pleasure for adults as well. It is composed of four distinct parts. Part I, "The Gift," is the story of Jody and his horse Gabilan. Jody's father is a harsh man, ...

Priscilla Cummings

Puffin, 2006

Great Read Aloud
I just borrowed this book from my husband who teaches 6th grade, and I devoured it in one weekend. It is a good story that reminds me of 'On My Honor'. It deals with loyalty, death and friendships. The end was slightly predictable and I felt it was missing some resolution between the main charater and the mother he was working for. I think this would be a great read aloud because it moves ...

Red Bird: Poems

Mary Oliver

Beacon Press, 2008

"Red Bird" Fly's
Mary Oliver's simple, spiritual, nature infused poetry was never better. She teaches us all to watch all the details of Gods creations without preaching. We learn from the movement of her poetry, to recognize a cardinal when he lands, to know the names of all of natures wonders: pine needles and prairie dogs, cypress and elm,and we love the class as we learn. She faces life's curve balls with ...

The Red Badge of Courage (Wordsworth Classics) (Wordsworth Classics)

Stephen Crane

Wordsworth, 1999

The Horrors of War engage the Innocence of Life
What can one truly say about an American Classic. It would be presumptuous on my part, at the very least, to analyze Mr. Crane's masterpiece after so many literary giants have already poked and prodded this novel of youth and war to ad nauseam. As a young boy in the early 1950s, I first read this novel and enjoyed the superficial battle narratives. Later as a college student in the 1960s, I ...

The Official Red Book: A Guide Book of United States Coins 2009 (Guide Book of United States Coins (Spiral)) ...

R. S. Yeoman

Whitman Publishing, 2008

Coin for 2009 prices
Old standby for getting a retailer's review of what you'd hope to sell your coin's for. A good benchmark and has been around for more than half a century. Blue book is more about whay the average person can hope to expect to get for a coin.

Red Car

Don Stanford

Buccaneer Books, 2000

The Red Car
It has been 35 years since I read the book but I can vivdly remember many parts of it. For example the mechanic Frenchy left his tools dirty to keep others from walking off with them; the race through the mountains with the big Ford that could not stay with the MG in the curves and then his Dad getting caught up in the moment, telling him to speed up. Then later the Dad telling the boy not to ...
