+ Hardcover Enthusiast + Call Of The Wild Review

Yes, it's about a ...

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer 1 review Mark Twain
Ann Arbor Media, 2006
Boyhood in all its crusty, dirty, honest, clever glory
I love this book. I re-read it several years ago and laughed and cried and then went back and read it again. I loved it so much, I read it one more time. Three times in a row, just to make sure that I had gotten everything out of it that I should have.
Twain is brilliant, witty and wise in all ...

A classic everyone should read!
This is one of a few classics of our time. When it was first published in 1857 it was consider a public scandal. Read en enjoy!

Tragedies 3 reviews William Shakespeare
Ann Arbor Media, 2006
Great bindings, good intro critique
+ Nice to have these all in one volume. + Great bindings, good commentaries
We all know about Shakespeare, so a review of his writing is not required. However, I would like to say that the Everyman's Library series are worth getting. Unlike omnibus editions (such as the Riverside Shakespeare), these are actually portable so you don't need a table to hold them up while ...

The Awakening & Other Stories 2 reviews Kate Chopin
Ann Arbor Media, 2006
Outstanding!
The Awakening will enthrall any one who has ever given themselves serious thought. It profoundly examines the context under which people live their lives. It gives complete meaning to "awakening" and invites the reader to more closely scrutinize their own life. Excellent and hauntingly ...

The Last of the Mohicans 1 review James Fenimore Cooper
Ann Arbor Media, 2006
Revisiting a classic
This book is a classic which I read as a child.I have seen at least two movie versions of the story, neither of which caught the real spirit. Re-reading the book was an rewarding experience which has provided much fodder for thought. The style of writing is typical of the time in which it was ...

Robinson Crusoe 1 review Daniel Defoe
Ann Arbor Media, 2006
Best story ever
My husband and I found this book a most interesting read, and priced so reasonably we could buy a 'his and hers' copy, so each can read a loud while the other reads along in his/her book. A riveting story of high adventure, trials to his faith in the Christian God, survival by endless work, and ...

Great Expectations 1 review Charles Dickens
Nelson Doubleday, 2006
A Dickens Classic!
"Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens can truly be seen as a critical work of fiction, one that I recommend everyone read at least once.
On the surface, the book seems dull, dry, boring and two hundred pages too long. However, as one delves into the book, it is amazing how moving Dickens' ...

The Three Musketeers Alexandre Dumas père
Ann Arbor Media, 2006
A short time ago, while making researches in the Royal Library for my History of Louis XIV, I stumbled by chance upon the Memoirs of M. D'Artagnan, printed - as were most of the works of that period, in which authors could not tell the truth without the risk of a residence, more or less long, in the Bastille - at Amsterdam, by Pierre Rouge. The title attracted me; I took them home with me, with ...

The Scarlet Letter 1 review Nathaniel Hawthorne
Ann Arbor Media, 2006
For an AP class
I don't really know how to rate this so I just gave it a five because it was a cheap hardcover and can with the custom house chapter (not all versions of this book do).
