The Lord of the Rings. 3 Vol. Set 1002 reviews J.R.R. Tolkien
Houghton Mifflin, 2003
Top Shelf Tolkien
+ Great book, great illustrations, great buy! + What took me so long? This is a masterpiece of storytelling
I recently purchased the single volume illustrated version of the Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings (Illustrated Edition). This is probably only for the (at least) semi-fanatical Tolkien fan.
I had owned a set of soft cover individual books (all four: Hobbit, ...

Signet, 1987
Absolutely Amazing
+ Beep Beep... + Chilling
This book is somewhere over extraordinary. King's characters are well developed and the reader almost develops a tangible bond with each of them. Although this book is tremendously long, King gives enough action at the perfect times to keep the audience attentive. However, even if he did not do ...

The Memory Keeper's Daughter 849 reviews Kim Edwards

A book written by a woman to women (and maybe guys too)
It was based on a similar concept of "Namesake", another contemporary book written by a woman, ie, that men has something terrible to hide from their spouses. :-) For guys it may be hard to relate to the characters, but even so I recommend it. Mainly because the book is fairly well written. I ...
