Eclipse Special Edition (The Twilight Saga) 1010 reviews Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008
Girlfriend made me read it...
+ Amazing! + Not as good, but needed
I started this series at my girlfriend's recommendation. I was afraid it would be like those Danielle Steele books. But it was surprising. This particular book in the series starts tying up some loose ends and I have already bought the 4th book in the series to read next.

Doubleday, 2008
A rebuttal to the 1 and 2 stars:
Grisham a 1 or 2 star author - even Charlie Brown could do better than that on this book. I don't understand the very low reviews? Are you paying attention to the social issues included in this book? I grant you this is not his best book and not a 5 Star... but 1 and 2 stars is WAY off. As I ...

The Road (Oprah's Book Club) 1608 reviews Cormac McCarthy
Vintage Books, 2007
A Road To Treasure
+ Carrying the Fire Through The Darkness
You know who they are. Those people that get upset when stories are told that aren't a sugar coated version of the world, stories that seem like they were written by authors who truly believe that ignoring cold, hard reality is the best medicine.
Cormac McCarthy is not one of those authors. At ...
