One Hundred Years of Solitude (Oprah's Book Club) 253 reviews Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Harper Perennial, 2004
puleeze
+ Read it + A profound book, and one of the best I've read
It's so disappointing, not to mention depressing, to read the negative reviews of this book on line here. We are speaking of one of the dozen finest books of the twentieth century. The failure is not the book's. I encourage all of you to try again--let the book lift you.

The Girl in the Box (A Bantam Starfire Book) 60 reviews Ouida Sebestyen
Starfire, 1989
Haunting
+ Never to forget... + A good, but distrubing book, probably not suitable for younger readers
I read this book in 1990 and have never forgotten it. Certain passages, names, details, etc. I cant even say that about books I am currently reading. Would make a great movie. It is riveting, and has tones of The Lovely Bones with the narration and teenage kidnapping with no apparent ...

Night Shift (Signet) 166 reviews Stephen King
Signet, 1979
Not Free SF Reader
+ Great book but is missing some stories from the original + short story surprise
Stephen King's first collection, and very good it was too. Mostly horror as you would expect, but some SF horror, a twisted little crime story, and a call it would you like death by disease story to finish.
Demons, Elder Gods, voodoo, punishment, armageddon, bloody murder and more exist for you ...

Go Ask Alice 1250 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 ...

The Bronx Zoo: The Astonishing Inside Story of the 1978 World Champion New York Yankees 16 reviews Sparky Lyle, Peter Golenbock
Triumph Books (IL), 2005
Great Read . .
+ A Great Read, But Golenbock Is A Lazy Author + Damn Yankees
Though I grew up a total Yankee Hater (and was 15 yrs old when this season took place), the book ranks right up there with "Thin Ice - A Season in Hell with the New York Rangers" as a top quality read for a baseball focus. Probably the best thing about this book is how Golenbock and Lyle are able ...

My favorite Grizzard book
+ A Southerner Grows up + You must understand the south
This is my favorite. Grizzard is closer to my parents generation than mine, but I can relate to this book. I especially love his commentary on country music. I'm sad to see that this book is out of print, but I would highly recommend it to everyone. Another Grizzard book that every fan should ...
