Scott Westerfeld

Simon Pulse, 2005

Great book for any age,
I'm more of a person interested in good stories. I love Star Wars, Harry Potter, Narnia, etc...This book and the others that are in the Trilogy fit right into that genra for me. Good read! And, great purchase!

Ann Coulter

Crown Forum, 2007

I loved it ;o)
This was my first Ann Coulter book. Since many people said that it contains many thoughts of her old material, I figured it would be a great book to start with. I also had this wild idea that hearing her voice in the CD version might give it some extra power. Ann had me laughing very hard and....she made me think about a few things too. I couldn't turn it off; I really got into it. ;o)

was a gift...
This was a gift for someone... I guess it was supposed to be ok. I didn't read it though.

A wonderful architectural book!
I read this book in Chinese when I started to learn architecture many yaers ago, and I bought the English version later when I came to the US. I love it, it is one of the best architectural books that you can have.

Extras (Uglies)

Simon Pulse, 2007

Extra Good
Pros: An original, believable concept, great characters. Cons: Ending is a bit of a let down. I was a bit reluctant to read this book, as I thought that Westerfield's last attempt, Specials, was the weakest in the series. Nevertheless, I am a fan of the series in general and when I saw this book in Borders, I had to pick it up. I was not disappointed. Aya, a fifteen-year-old living ...

Great Book with useful information!
This book was great! It was very interesting. I couldn't put it down. It gives you a great insight into how big cosmetic companies really think.

Specials (Uglies)

Scott Westerfeld

Simon Pulse, 2007

This is an absoloute must-have
I will begin by saying simply: this book took me by surprise, and I mean that in a very good way. The two books before it had been very good, yes, and I was expecting relatively the same quality out of this one. However, after I had finished the first few chapters, I knew that this book was (and ths might sound cheesy) different; and I'm quite serious about that. It literally took me by ...

Uglies (Boxed Set): Uglies, Pretties, Specials (Uglies)

29 reviews
Scott Westerfeld

Simon Pulse, 2007

Great
I've never really been into YA so I was skeptical when my friend recommended it to me. However as a fan of works like 1984, Brave New World, and Farenheit 451, the utopian plotline won me over. In short, I was glad I picked it up. I was immediately enthralled and once I got the 2nd book, I finished it in a day leaving me anxious for the 3rd release. The Uglies trilogy is a great YA ...

Big Mouth & Ugly Girl

74 reviews
Joyce Carol Oates

HarperTeen, 2003

Pleasantly surprised
This was my first Oates book so I had no idea what to expect. What I got was a book with very well written characters and a good premise. Both main characters are completely believable and their friendship is described i a very good way. The parts focusing on "Ugly girl" are written in first person and Oates really manages to get the right voice for a teenage girl. Or at least it felt authentic ...

From Crayons to Condoms: The Ugly Truth About America's Public Schools

9 reviews
Steve Baldwin, Karen Holgate

WND Books, 2008

A glimps of the coming DARK AGES
Read this book. Read it carefully. Forget about "saving our schools" and other nonsense. Instead, try to mentally leap about 15 to 20 years into the future and, as you're reading, try to imagine what American society is going to be like thanks to countless numbers of "educated" children becoming adults and SUPPOSEDLY assuming the responsibilities of running a First World country. Just think ...

The Ugly American

44 reviews
William J. Lederer, Eugene Burdick

W. W. Norton & Company, 1999

I can't believe every American hasn't read this!
The term "ugly American" gets thrown around a lot, but most people have never read the book. What surprises me is that, with our problems in Iraq and the rest of the world, every military and civilian leader is not quoting the book extensively. It is a blueprint for what went wrong in Vietnam (written before Vietnam) and now Iraq. Won't we learn? Not great literature, but a great read. ...

Winning Ugly: Mental Warfare in Tennis--Lessons from a Master

63 reviews
Brad Gilbert, Steve Jamison

Fireside, 1994

The Mental edge in Tennis
Although I no longer play tennis, this remains my favorite tennis book. After beating Becker to win Wimbledon, Brad explained how he had done it. He said: "I couldn't beat him at his level so I had to drag him down to my level." And anyone who saw that match knows that is exactly what he did. That particular Wimbledon Finals was such a tactical masterpiece that anyone who knows anything about ...

David Horvath, Sun-Min Kim

Random House Books for Young Readers, 2008

Eye Candy For Everyone!
WONDERFUL and very very funny! A book for children AND adults :-). David and Sun-Min express their wittiness in their fabulous and very detailed drawings. Humor you can chew and think on--you find new things every time you go back to the Guides. A delight to the eye for Uglydoll fans and people who just want plain fun! C'mon, wouldn't you like a Tako cone? :-D Highly recommended. We bought ...

Jack Cafferty

Wiley, 2007

Great overview of what's wrong with our gov't. Easy read, important info.
This book somewhat reminds me of the "Idiots guide to..." series, yet nowhere does JC treat you like an idiot. The book is a clear guide to the major issues in our gov't today and points out a number of questions that we all need to ask ourselves the next time we vote. All of the major issues and scadals are discussed here (well, all except the numerous NEW problems that have arisen since the ...
