Radu Florescu
,
Raymond T. McNally

Gift
I purchased this book as a gift. The book arrived a timely manner and in good condition. I bought this book based on a program I saw on the History Channel and with knowledge that the author has family history with Dracula.
Dracula (Norton Critical Editions)

Bram Stoker's Dracula: A Parable For Our Times
Book Groups of America, put down your Oprah choices, your Eat, Pray, and Love drivel, your watered elephants, and read Bram Stoker's Dracula. I wanted to read some long books before my book-a-day project begins and Dracula was on the list of recommended must-reads. My ...
The Well of Lost Plots (Thursday Next Series)

Penguin (Non-Classics)

Well of lost plots by Jasper Fford
Wonderful - the author invites us into a fascinating world that is both recognizable and original. The characters are clever, ingenious, warm, endearing and captivating - the multi-plots weave their way around the story line apparently writing themselves and the next ...
Dracula (Enriched Classics Series)
Bram Stoker
Pocket
, 2003
Excellent book
A little lengthy for me, but it really is neccessary to create an amazing setting and character desrciption. Stoker truly creates a very rustic and creepy setting. The only problem I had with the book is the ending. It's not surprise what the ending is, but in ...
The Lord of the Rings
J.R.R. Tolkien
Houghton Mifflin
, 2002
Best edition of LOTR there is!
This review is for that of the edition of the book not the writing itself. Or course Tolkien's writing is phenomonal. This edition has a beautiful case and amazingly illustrated cover protecters. They are all hardcover and are not too heavy. The pages are near ...

The Lord of the Rings (50th Anniversary Edition)
J.R.R. Tolkien
Houghton Mifflin
, 2004
Very nice edition to have
This review is only about the `50th anniversary edition' and not about the master work of J.R.R.Tolkien. I don't see any issues with the quality of the book. Like few other reviewers mentioned, the folded map is glued together and you need to take little care while ...
Blood Hollow (Cork O'Connor Mysteries)
William Kent Krueger
Pocket Star
, 2005
Cork O'Conner does it again
I've read Blood Hollow twice and enjoyed it just as much the second time around. You can always count on Krueger giving you a book that is multi-layered, you'll experience the settings and the weather, come to love Cork O'Connor and his family, and be mystified while ...

Reflection of woman
This book is confusing, frustrating, consuming and utterly breathtaking. It is a shattered mirror w/ pieces of riddles, poetry, cold photos of mothers and unsung heroines & nonsense; a true reflection of a woman. And like a woman, it takes work to truly understand its ...
Red Harvest

Bad Blood Pours in Poisonville [T]
Some novelists are great in their genre. Some novelists create a genre. In many respects, this book exemplifies the birth of the genre referred to as the American crime novel - one which Raymond Chandler said ". . . took murder out of the Venetian vase and dropped it ...
The Portrait of a Lady (Penguin Classics)
Henry James
Penguin Classics
, 2003
Remarks
Perhaps an alternate title for The Portrait of a Lady might be The Velvet Pit and the Silk Pendulum. It is a kind of blend of the sensibilities of Oscar Wilde at his "aesthetically" sunniest, and of Poe in the grimmest of his catacombs. Probably the most ...

Three Heroes: The Wizard, The King and The Little Guy
JRR Tolkien is the grandfather of modern fantasy; his epic work THE LORD OF THE RINGS continues to inspire writers. Without Tolkien, we don't have Terry Pratchett, JK Rowling, Jim Butcher, Mercedes Lackey -- the list is long. Tolkien took fantasy from the province of ...
Humongous Zits: A Zits Treasury
Jim Borgman
,
Jerry Scott
Andrews McMeel Publishing
, 2000
Lots of Laughs
As my children have gotten older, Zits has taken the place of Calvin and Hobbes in terms of how close to home it hits. The strips are funny and accurate, and this book shows the evolution of the characters from the beginning. I had a lot of laughs from this ...
The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man, Red Harvest (Everyman's Library)

A classic for every home library
My two favorites in this collection are The Thin Man and The Maltese Falcon. I love these hard-boiled detective novels doubly for their sheer entertainment and their place in history. If you want a fascinating read to go allong with this collection, get The Perfect ...
