A Real Discovery: 4 or 5 of these make amazing reading
This is an impressive collection of early and now scarce Noir novels. "The Big Clock" and "Nightmare Alley" are particularly hard to find outside of this volume. Cain's "The Postman Always Rings Twice" was probably the first crime novel I ever really got into, and it's a stunning departure from Agatha Christie-style mysteries. So much happens in this short book (as turns of plot, but also ...

If this book is as good as she is a teacher...
I had the fortunate opportunity to have Professor Beaman at Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo where she is an adjunct faculty member. She is an amazing person and teacher, if this book carries even half of the energy she carries through life, and you get 10% increase in your approach, you will be 200% better. Sam

My favorite children's book
Note: My reviews are plagued by cyber stalkers who distort votes totals. If I HAD to answer the question: What is your favorite children's book?, I would have to pick "Stellaluna." There, this children's librarian committed, but I think my students would know that. It's one of their favorites, too!! What makes this book so special? E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!! The story line, the embedded lessons, ...

John Walters, 2002

this is a great book that every basketball fan should read!
Ok, first I have to admit, I'm a huge fan of UCONN basketball, Diana Taurasi in particular, but that doesn't make me biased:). I think this book is well written, fun to read, funny, and insightful. It tels the story of an amazing basketball team that deserves recognition even though they didn't reach their final goal. I learned a lot from this book, and it made me laugh and cry. I think that ...

John Grogan

Collins, 2007

It's Not Just For Kids
You don't have to be a kid 9-12 years old to giggle, shake your head in disbelief, and cry while you read this book--an adaptation of MARLEY AND ME. This is a testament to author Grogan's writing skill. Grogan never underestimates his readers' vocabulary and comprehension of complex ideas. He doesn't "sugar coat" anything; kids and adults appreciate that. He relates his story through a full ...

Eleanor Sullivan

Hilliard & Harris Publishers, 2002

great fun - I can't wait for the next one!
As a St. Louis resident, I always enjoy books that are set here, with their references to all my favorite places. But this book has far more to offer than a familiar setting - there is a great mystery plot, characters I'd like to meet, and some great background on the problems going on in our medical community today. Eleanor knows her stuff - she writes with intelligence and wit. Great read.

Chris Offutt

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1994

Country boy writes moving and hilarious memoir
Besides the fact that Chris Offutt is a great writer, I like the guy's work because he's so honest and genuine. For those of you who can't tell the difference, Chris is an authentic country boy. Reading this memoir and sections of his novel "The Good Brother", I recognize the rhythm of speech, turns of phrase, and basic life assumptions that are innate in country boys like us from the Great State ...

Howard Mansfield

UPNE, 2000

Who is Howard Mansfield?
This is not the kind of book I usually read. It's probably not the kind of book that **anyone** usually reads. I bought it because of a favorable review in the New York Times. The review made the book sound good and, what do you know, the book really is good. Now, I'll never renovate a house. I'll never live in a log cabin or an old stone house. I don't want to live in New England or visit Walden ...

Avocus Publishing, 2000

A groundbreaking book
Anyone who has a twice exceptional child simply must buy this book. They are such an perplexing combinations: unusual and confusing, brilliant and constrained, with an unfortunate dose of 'needing what there ain't'. Simply helping them navigate childhood in one healthy piece is a challenge of mammoth proportions; seeing them reach their real potential can seem a distant dream. However, ...

Bathroom Readers' Institute

Thunder Bay Press, 2002

Batroom Reader Should Make Space In Your Bathroom!
The Biggest Bathroom Reader Ever is a great book for adults who feel like they can never accomplish reading because the book is big. Well, okay the book is huge but the articles are only 3 to 4 pages long. The things are really humorous and inquisitive. For example, on page 530 it says that the country of Brazil was named after the Brazil nut. Some of the articles titles are Brand Names, Who ...

BookSurge Publishing, 2007

What a wonderful book
What a wonderful book. It's full of great recipes and ideas for entertaining. But it is more than just a cookbook. The use of photos and stories reminds us that family and friends are blessings and life should always be a celebration!

Rapunzel: The One With All the Hair (Twice Upon a Time)

Wendy Mass

Topeka Bindery, 2006

The Brothers Grimm
Wendy Mass, as well as Gail Carson Levine, do something that the Brothers Grimm forgot: they give all of the characters names and porpuses. In the Brothers Grimm tales, we have no idea what the other character's (most often the prince) life was, which would have added better understanding to the story. I highly recommend the works of both Wendy Mass and Gail Carson Levine, for giving the second ...

You'll want to read TUAT more than once...

She's blown away by the power of her desire for this stranger...but is he truly a stranger? There's more going on than Anna can imagine. Things that put Anna and her ...

The illustrations are beautiful paintings, all with the special ...

Accidental discovery.
Shoo Fly guy is a cute little story about a boy and his pet fly. The boy goes on a picnic and the fly tries to find him. My daughter liked following his fly patterns and the stuff he visits. I was a little concerned about one incident where he goes by a road kill frog. But she is fascinated by death for some reason(we lost a cat) so it didn't bother her. On thing she did like is where ...
