Chase Von, The Last Panther's Review

+ Better than film
+ Personal, but (seemingly) honest memoir

Having PTSD myself from Wars and other things, I thought this was a great movie! I didn't read the book first however and normally I do but from what I gather the movie in this instance was much better than the book... I have read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and in many ways this reminded ...

Time in a Bottle

+ Jorie's Reads on The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
+ this is a true story

"... they were bound for college, husbands, child-rearing, unhappiness only dimly perceived -- bound, in other words, for life." The Virgin Suicides is not just a story of the loneliness of being female. It is also a story of the loneliness of life and understanding what it is to be female; the ...

+ One Of my Favorite Books

For anyone who loves to read, whether child or adult, this is a great fantasy story. I wish I'd had this when I was young. It has the potential of becoming a classic. Bought this for my 12 year old niece for Christmas.

Anchor, 2007

Reconciliation...Really?

+ Atonement is a work of art!
+ Not a quick read.

Websters Dictionary defines atonement as reconciliation, reparation for an offense or injury:satisfaction. Briony Tallis is a brilliant, fanciful and immature girl of just 13 or so as this book begins. Briony Tallis is a brilliant, celebrated, accomplished writer of 77 as this story ends. As a ...

Extra Good

+ Different Place, Different Time, Still Great

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 ...

I notice alot of people are complaining about the box that the books are in because it's cardboard. Some people can just never be satisfied. So if you're picky and never satisfied than heed those reviews. I'm pleased with the box set. It has the hardcover books which fit snuggly inside and as some ...
