Fun, but challenging
As someone who has always been a math person, I loved this book when I was in 4th grade. I was able to do the problems in it and thought it was a fun different approach to learning about math and using logic. I think that this book can be still a fun brain teaser even for adults, as I am one now :). I would say that for many younger Sachar readers this book has a high chance of being over ...

See the film first, the novel is a worthy compliment
I became interested in this novel after I saw the film adaption. That is to say I became interested in the film when I saw it on cable and almost instantly identified with the character Miles. I rented a DVD and that was it, the film became one of my favorites ever. But after watching it so many times and learning of the novel that came before the film, I wanted to see if I could expand the ...

Sideways: The Shooting Script

Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor

Newmarket, 2004

A wonderful read
I loved the movie. On impulse, I sought out the screen play because I wanted to see how the story looked on paper. The experience was illuminating for the insight it provided me in how movies are crafted. But more importantly, being able to pause at an interesting passage of dialog, to enjoy it more completely, enabled me to control the pace of the story. Lastly, the screenplay is very good ...

Roseanna's Ma vexes her with the most hilarious antics that are to "aid" Rosie. Her clients, mentally disabled people being acclimated to life in the main stream, all provide hilarity as well as warmth. She ...

Price Pritchett

Pritchett LP, 2007

An excellent overview of the Process Management wave...
Pritchett doesn't say alot - this is a slim tome - but what he says, he says very well. Process management is the big thing in the corporate world, and with good reason... it gets results. This little book will give you a great overview of the 'process' of process management - how and why it works, what to do, and where to start. Pritchett has a load of great books on the subject but this one is ...

Sideways fun for low level teenagers
I am a teacher of 7th to 11th graders who preform below the "standard" grade level expectations. They find these books comical, and I find them educational. They laugh at appropriate jokes and understand the allusions. Sachar not only uses allusions but alliterations, simile, metaphor, and a plethora of other literary devices that are easy enough for students to hear and read. I would normally ...

Jess Riley

Ballantine Books, 2008

Lovely!
You might think a road trip taken by a 29-year-old woman who's just had a kidney transplant and plans to meet her ex-boyfriend, the family of her organ donor, and the mother who abandoned her when she was five might not be the most uplifting, or worthy, of travels. Fortunately, the talented (and very funny) author of Driving Sideways has written a compelling, original, surprising and lovely ...

With his camera always at the ready and a huge smile on his face, Antonio has documented the growth of the drifting phenomenon here and abroad, the ...

The Sideways Guide to Wine and Life [64-page Squarebound Paperback Edition]

2 reviews
Alexander Payne, Jim Taylor

Newmarket, 2005

A mild vintage...
According to the introduction, "The Sideways Guide to Wine and Life" is meant to be a "celebration" of the movie, the novel, and wine country. If so, since the booklet is about an eighth of an inch thick and around the size of a CD case, it's a short and sweet one. Those expecting a compilation of interesting trivia about "Sideways," along with details about wine and how it relates to life, ...

Lots of fun!
I love incorporating words with math! It makes it fun and interesting. I am not big on math (nor am I very good at it), but when you incorporate language, it makes it fun. I really found this enjoyable! You do neet time, paper, and a darn good eraser, but this was a blast! It has the same kind of stories as the other Wayside books, but it incorporates math problems to go with it. (BOYS + ...

Motorbooks, 1999

Highly recommended for fan and non fan, alike
I lived in the South all my life, always aware of NASCAR, watching races every now and then. Even so, I haven't tuned into to a NASCAR race in probably 25 years. Because of this book, I will when the next season starts. One can truly begin to understand the mystique of NASCAR after reading A Little Bit Sideways. Scott Huler's obvious love for the material really shines through. His writing ...
