The Four Adventures of Richard Hannay: The Thirty-Nine Steps/Greenmantle/Mr. Standfast/the Three Hostages 6 reviews
John Buchan
David R Godine, 1994
Classic adventure yarns
As my title says, the Four Adventures are real classics that spawned a whole library of imitators. Written as they were during the First World War and immediate post-war period by someone who both hob-nobbed with the political movers and shakers of the time & may have participated in some intertesting Intelligence work on his own (see Peter Hopkirk's LIKE HIDDEN FIRE for some of the "facts" ...

Even More Short And Shivery; A Review By: Maris
Even More Short and Shivery By: Robert D. San Souci Have you ever read a book that you were afraid to read because it was so frightening? For me this book was just like that. In my book there are forty- five scary stories, but I think the scariest one was "Knock, Knock, Knock." It's about ...

Great book!
This book was really excellent and suspenseful! So far the best in the series and it's scary but not too scary! I think that it is actually one of my all-time favorite scary story books!

Forensics Duo Series Volume 4: Duo Practice and Competition Thirty-five 8-10 Minute Original Dramatic Plays ...1 review
Ira Brodsky, Barbara Lhota
Smith & Kraus, 2005
Teachers be aware
I ordered this book based on the editorial review that indicated it would be good for middle school aged students and up. I am really disappointed. While it most certainly is a good book for college and up, there are so many sexual or sexualized references throughout these scenes that there is no way I would bring it into a middle or high school setting. If you have the time to do a lot of ...

Behind the Scenes: or, Thirty Years a Slave, and Four Years in the White House (Penguin Classics) 14 reviews
Elizabeth Keckley
Penguin Classics, 2005
Friend and confidant to Mary Lincoln
I got this little book so that I could learn more about the Lincolns and their home life at the White House. It does an excellent job of telling the story of Elizabeth and Mary's friendship, which I wish could have continued, but alas, it didn't. I would recommend this book to all readers interested in US history, not matter what their age or gender, so that they can get an intimate view of the ...

More Short & Shivery: Thirty Terrifying Tales3 reviews
Robert D. San Souci
Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 1996
More Short and Shivery lives up to its name!
I purchased this book after reading my copy of the first Short and Shivery to tatters when I was young enough to go away to summer camp. This sequel continues the creepy tradition started by Mr. San Souci in the first book. Taking stories from around the world and re-telling them in a kid friendly format (with just enough scare factor to raise the hackles on any kid at camp) this sequel is just ...

Blood on the Risers: An Airborne Soldier's Thirty-five Months in Vietnam25 reviews
John Leppelman
Presidio Press, 1991
"What the f*ck, over?"
Quoted in this reviews title is the mantra that emits from the lips of one overloaded by indescribable decibels, debris and doubt at the point of enemy contact, especially if he's holding the radio. The truth carries from this book, and you ask "could I keep up?", as you devour each page-turning chapter. Leppelman moves through three distinct battle venues with his survival intuition operating at ...

An Overall Satisfying Book
The book HOME was a fabulous collaboration. It gave a great sence of the home from "Stoops", to "Under the Back Porch", to "Under the Bed, and even "A House of Flowers". My favorite poem was "The Refrigerator". It gave a very amusing veiw of what might go on in the refrigerator after we have all gone to bed. It has a nice Jazzy rhythm to it and is fun for kids of all ages. My favorite ...
