It takes a graveyard
Imagine Rudyard Kipling's "Jungle Book"... but replace the animals with ghosts, ghouls, werewolves and other such supernatural creatures. Such is the concept of "The Graveyard Book," which cleverly turns Kipling's classic story into an exquisitely-written, darkly witty fantasy. While it starts as the assorted supernatural adventures of a young boy raised by ghosts, the story slowly evolves ...

Great Book
This is a great story about vampires as well as the power of love. I bought this book and the other 3 books in the Twilight Saga and finished them in 8 days. That is how captivating the story is. Everyone that has every been in love or is wanting to find love, will be swept away into the world of all the Twilight characters that Stephenie Meyer has created for us. This truly is a GREAT book ...

Loved the whole series
I really liked the whole series and I'm sad that it's over. I spent more time just reading and enjoying it than picking it apart like other reviews. What's relaxing about trying to find mistakes in the book instead of just reading?

Incredible
This book was so incredible. I wasn't sure about it at first because I'm not too big on sci-fi but since Meyer is such an incredible writer, I had to read it and I'm so glad I did. She is such an incredible writer and I don't think anyone could have pulled off a plot like this besides her. I recommend this book to anyone!

The most action-packed book of the series-interesting histories of the Cullen family and Jacob's tribe members.

Excellent book
This is a great sequel to Twilight. Stephenie Meyers really hammers in the impact of the characters' relationships, and creates a love triangle for us to argue over.

Miracle of a book
The thing about great truth is that when we read it, no one has to tell us that it's true. We feel it. Yes, the intellect might question if it contradicts traditional teachings, but the heart and soul know what's what. I found this novel to be such a truth. It's certainly one of the most inspiring reads of my life. It's the story of a man whose daughter dies a violent death, but there is ...

Tour of Force
At 75, when most of us would like to put our feet up, relax, reap the benefits of having lived a productive life, Philip Roth demonstrates that the true artist still has the power to teach, to move, to illuminate. In his latest exploration of American society writ large by giving an example in miniature, he provides a portrait of an era so crystal clear and yet so haunting. Certain elements of ...

Total Escape
I completely escaped my suburban surroundings while reading "One Fifth Avenue." I couldn't help reading it fast because it was so compelling, at the same time wanting to read it more slowly to make it last. I hope Candace Bushnell writes a sequel. My only regret is that she killed off my favorite character.

My 10 year old Loves The 39 Clues Series
Got Book 1 for my 10 year old daughter. She read the entire book in days, joined the website, and talks about these a lot. She keeps asking me to get her all 39 books - she really loves this series. Previously loved the Daisy Meadows books and still likes Nancy Drew. Hope the next few in the series come out Soon. I love to encourage her reading, and this book brings in educational subjects ...

Sweet. Pefect. Beautiful.
To be honest, I picked up this book with more than a little hesitation. I've been a fan of Terry Pratchett's for years. He's a great writer. One of the best. This cannot be argued. Still, I knew this book wasn't going to be set in Discworld, so I was nervous. Also, I was a little disappointed, because I love the Discworld. It's like a place that I get to visit on vacation once or twice a ...

Bravo!
This novel is a must-read for everyone, young adults and adults alike. I was completely captivated by this story and the style in which it was written. Zusak's approach to Death as the narrator is unique and engaging, and his voice is sometimes cynical, sometimes sympathetic. He tells the story of young Liesel as she is sent to live with foster parents outside of Munich in the heart of Nazi ...

Smart and fun young adult science fiction!
Enn Reitel's English accent and deep, commanding voice fit perfectly a young adult novel that blends science fiction with magic. Author Colfer is just as comfortable writing about body scans, bond like gadgets and artificial limbs as he is describing elves, giving Artemis Fowl a unique feel that is both modern and timeless. An ample prologue will help new readers catch up on unfamiliar ...

Percy's adventures continue at a frenetic pace!
I had purchased The Lightning Thief (1st book in the series of 4, so far...) for my 11 year old son who does NOT like to read silently, figuring that we could read it aloud together, and to try to get him interested in non-fiction. It also coincided with Greek Mythology a social studies subject in 6th grade. It was fabulous, and we have since read books 2 and 3. He was THRILLED that a new ...
