Escape from the Deep: A Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous Crew

Alex Kershaw

Da Capo Press, 2008

Gripping
This is not a book made great by the writing. Rather, this book is great because the author didn't get in the way of this epic story. No US submarine sunk more enemy tonnage than the Tang and whether any US sub sunk as many enemy ships is debatable. Dick O'Kane, the ...

Escape from Memory

Margaret Peterson Haddix

Simon Pulse, 2005

Great book for 6th grade+
This has been one of my all-time favorite books ever since I read it last year. The plot, though confusing, has just the right amount of twists and turns to keep you interested. One thing I especially enjoyed was the fact that no one was pure good or pure evil, and ...

Pamela Skillings

Ballantine Books, 2008

This book covers all the basic options available to someone who is tired of the rat race and wants something different.

About the Product: Slipcase Set 1 (Books #1-4)
Combine the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew with Indian Jones, make them Christians in search of Biblical artifacts, and you'll get the gist of these novels. They are nothing more or less than what they claim to be: enteraining reads for young readers, intertwining spiritual ...

Escape from the Carnivale: A Never Land Book

Ridley Pearson, Dave Barry

Disney Editions, 2006

Good Short Story Involving the Minor Characters of the Original Barry/Pearson Prequel Masterpieces!
Although this short story does not contain either of the two great main characters Peter and Molly from the masterpieces Peter and the Starcatchers or the sequel to that prequel Peter and the Shadow Thieves and its length is only a fifth at most of either of those two ...

Frommer's Best Day Trips from London: 25 Great Escapes by Train, Bus or Car (Frommer's Best Day Trips from ...

Stephen Brewer, Donald Olson

Frommers, 2008

Indispensable
I just got back from England last night and took three of the day trips described in this book: Winchester, Dover and Hampton Court. Obviously these guides are somewhat subjective, so I didn't always agree with the authors' opinions on certain things, but the factual ...

Excellent guide to figuring out your path in life when it comes to careers...
One of the toughest times in life is getting to that stage where you're expected to go out on your own and make a living, but yet you don't have a clue as to what your dream job would be (or at least a *realistic* dream job). Alexandra Levit helps to cut through some ...

The Great Escape: Nine Jews Who Fled Hitler and Changed the World

Kati Marton

Simon & Schuster, 2007

The Great Escape
I haven't read a book in about 6 months. It was a refreshing comeback with Kati Marton's The Great Escape. Her use of vivid imagery and lively characters paved the way for an interesting and enjoyable read. My favorite characters in the book reached the hearts of ...

Escape From The Ashes

William W. Johnstone

Pinnacle, 2003

Read the entries people, Johnstone is DEAD!!!!
William W Johnstome was suffering from cancer then dies in the early part of 2004. It is believed a ghostwriter did all or part of the last few books due to Johnstone's illness. Sure, it would be nice if the last few books had been written the way Johnstone would ...

Escape from the Island of Aquarius (The Cooper Kids Adventure Series #2)

Frank E. Peretti

Crossway Books, 2004

The best!
This was the best in the series! It was really, really suspenseful. I like how it ties into the coming end times-about how the antichrist (no capitilization needed here,) will deceive people to become his followers, making them think he is a god or something, ...

Crossing Over: One Woman's Escape from Amish Life

Ruth Irene Garrett, Rick Farrant

HarperOne, 2003

Sensitive, with a good grasp . . .
of the effects of living in a rigid, legalistic, narrow society, and the horrific psychological warfare waged by those inside such a cult against one who has freed herself. Her sensitivity and analysis is very good. The book flows well and is a fast, fascinating ...
