The Host: A Novel
I enjoyed the book very much and found it engrossing to the point of staying up till the wee early morning hours to finish it. Some have said they have trouble with the first couple of chapters but I didn't and I would recomend it... I Do hope that there will be a sequel...

Kiss My Math: Showing Pre-Algebra Who's Boss

2 reviews
Danica McKellar

Hudson Street Press, 2008

Buy this for your daughter
This smart and funny book teaches girls that it's OK to be smart, and that they are perfectly capable of kicking a little pre-algebra butt. The topic is serious. In the prologue, McKellar writes that "lots of people change their majors and abandon their dreams just to avoid a couple of math classes in college." Girls in particular often use their fear of math to keep them from learning the ...

Best Series Ever!
The Twilight Saga is a must read! But make sure you don't have any pressing immediate issues to attend to because you will simply neglect everything but the books. Amazing! I could not put them down and each one was better then the next. This book tugs at your heart strings a bit - but so worth it. Stephanie Meyer does not dissapoint and I hope that she continues to write such thriling, ...

The alcoholic's next job - fitness and wholeness
I'm an active, recovered member of the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. I've licked alcoholism and survived devastating open heart surgery. And the road back was demanding, but rewarding. My son gave me this book because I have put my all into "fitness"--fitness in nutrition, fitness into exercise, fitness with supplements and medications, fitness with sleep restoration, and even fitness with ...

The Shack
I have never read a book more profound than this one. If this doesn't leave you wanting to know God more I'll miss my guess. It is a book that has changed me and the way I see God.

Adults Love The Twilight Series Too!
As a 39 year old Mother of two young boys, this is NOT my typical type of book to read. I've never been one for horror, mystery or science fiction. I don't generally read books aimed at young adults (except Harry Potter). Too many adults I knew raved about these books and finally I couldn't ignore their recommendations. I bought the first and second book in the series, thinking that if I didn't ...

couldn't help but keep reading
Make sure you have a lot of time to read because once you start, it's hard to stop. I didn't think it would be as good as it was...If you are looking for something besides pure entertainment then maybe this isn't really what you want. It is pure fun to read.

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Great Book / Spoiler-Free Review
Meyer still knows how to write a great story arc, with continuously growing characters. There are several different climaxes in the action, which will keep you interested. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I did not see her change anything about the characters in this last book, and their actions are a direct result of the characterization in the previous three novels. An interesting aside - ...

Their Eyes Were Watching God
Please read this book! I'm serious! The writing is pure poetry, with fantastic images that will stay with me forever. Also, the historical value cannot be exaggerated. The author, Nora Neale Hurston, gave us a tremendous gift.

Loved it!
I had a hard time getting into the book at first, but once I got started I loved it. I would like to read a 10 years later book to update us how these characters lives moved on and changed.

Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail

math for the masses in junior and high school classes
This Danica is as good looking as the racing Danica and a great actress. She's a math whiz too. Well as a trained mathematician I can assure you that she proves in this book that she knows math, is proud of it and want other high school and junior high school girls to appreciate it too. The book is filled with interesting ways of teach junior and senior high school math that makes it fun and ...

Harvey Dent, Tragic Character
This is probably one of the first stories that really showed Harvey Dent as a tragic figure in the Batman universe rather than some demented villain with a duel identity issue. The Long Halloween probably did the best of showing the relationship of Batman, Jim Gordon, and Gotham's DA Dent. That is of course until The Dark Knight came in theaters. However you can see where pieces of this story ...

Still haunting after over a year...
I read this book over a year ago because of a review I read somewhere. It is so full of texture, of the grinding machine that is war, with the little bleeps of love and beauty that keep people plodding along. It is a wonderful book. I still think about it a year later and I immediately ordered his other 2 books. I read voraciously and this is a gem. The characters are so surprising and real. ...

A heartfelt reminder of the important things in life.
After reading so many spectacular reviews, I decided to give this book a whirl myself, and I'm so thankful I did. First of all, I hate to read. Well, let me rephrase that. I USED to hate to read. Doing so much reading in college leaves me with little energy outside of schoolwork to read, but I quickly polished this book off in two sessions. This book grabs you almost immediately and reels you ...

I'm not a fan of Sci-Fi, but I became one after reading this book. James Patterson has never disapointed me.

Great book for every teen
Like several reviewers wrote, I picked up this book for my 13 year old and first read it myself. It not only inspired me to do some "hard things", it helped me realize how I can challenge my kids to stretch beyond what they think their limitations may be . My daughter is reading it now and loves it and I want my husband to read it next. I will recommend it to everyone I know who has a teen or ...
