Bronwyn Donaghy

Angus & Robertson, 1996

What a sweet book mate!

I wish there were more books like this that inform teens and their parents of the dangers of different substances! And it's even more important that it's true because it touches my heart even more! Although i didn't know anna, i wish i did! I can relate her story to my life so accurately! My life ...
  
  











  



  
The Bride Stripped Bare1 review
Nicki Gennell

HarperPerennial, 2004

"For it is the long, long nights that defeat you. When you are blown out like a candle."

+ Good impulse buy

The best second person narrative I have read, ever! This is languid and beautiful and biting, tragic and edge of your seat. I started the book and within the first chapter I was committed. The litany on loop in my head? "This can't end well." It is the story of a woman's search for herself. ...

Grand Central Publishing, 1994

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 ...

Go Ask Alice1250 reviews
Anonymous

Simon Pulse, 1998

we get it already...

+ Everyone should read this book
+ Go Ask Alice

There seem to be a lot of reviews written for this book bashing it. We get it...you're angry that this is a work of fiction and isn't, in all actuality, a true, bona fide account. Unfortunately for you, you will find that most books contain fiction. Yes the book says that teenagers shouldn't do ...

Franny and Zooey222 reviews
J.D. Salinger

Little, Brown and Company, 1991

Fun Fanaticism

+ Entertaining and intelligent

It was always a little embarrassing to admit that I hadn't read Franny and Zooey. In the literary world, I guess it's kind of the equivalent of a beauty queen admitting she wears dentures. Somewhere in between that admission and the other one (that I found `Catcher in the Rye' tolerably okay but ...

Working with Emotional Intelligence75 reviews
Daniel Goleman

Bantam, 2000

Good but not as applied as I hoped

+ Emotional Intelligence Easily Defined.
+ Working with Emotional Intelligence

Working with emotional intelligence is a landmark book in that when it came out it made the first strong case for how emotional intelligence operates and work and why it's so important to have it. The information linking emotional intelligence to job performance is fascinating. The only place the ...

Harper Paperbacks, 2004

Great Seller!

+ The secrets of the popular girls

The seller made a mistake by putting "hard cover" for the book I purchased when it was a soft cover book. When I received the book and contacted the seller instead of making me pay for shipping or wait for them to send me an envelope to send it back, they told me to just keep the book and fully ...
