The Dangerous Book for Boys
Conn Iggulden, Hal Iggulden
Collins, 2007
Great for the 'boy's' in your home!
I originally bought this book for my son, he's 11. He loves it. Unfortunately my husband and 6 brothers won't give it back to him, yet. They've enjoyed the 'projects' as much as my son has.

fantastic on every level
This is my all time favorite book, wonderful on so many levels. At the end I cried for the loss of the characters in my life. Simply extraordinary.

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
Interesting insights and information
I found this book on the bottom shelf in a bookstore at the Albequerque Airport and I hadn't read ANYTHING about it beforehand but only now have seen other Amazon reviews. I am a teacher at a school in a suburb and have recently seen a major decline in the educational ...

A Must Read for Pre-Teen Girls
This is an outstanding book for pre-teen girls because it helps girls to feel confident in themselves. It gives helpful advice, and it covers everything that a young girl wants to know but may be embarrassed to ask. It allowed my two daughters to read about issues ...

The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists
Neil Strauss
William Morrow, 2005
Don't be yourself, be your best self.
After watching a few episodes of the reality TV show The Pickup Artist, I decided to buy this book. I bought this one instead of Mystery's Method because Strauss wrote Jenna Jameson's autobiography which is in my mind excellent credentials. Still, my expectations were ...

Twilight (Twilight, Book 1)
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2005
I must admit, better than I expected...
Okay. So I took this out at my local library (not willing to waste money on a book I was sure I would hate) and started reading, rather warily. Frankly, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I'm 21, so it's not as if I'm some goggly-eyed teen--but I guess I've ...

Skinny Bitch in the Kitch: Kick-Ass Recipes for Hungry Girls Who Want to Stop Cooking Crap (and Start Looking ...
Rory Freedman, Kim Barnouin
Running Press, 2007
Great for vegans and non-vegans alike!
First let me say that some of the other reviewers aren't exactly fair. This is a vegan cookbook. It's not fair to use this review space to share opinions about the entire vegan lifestyle. You knew it was a vegan cookbook, so don't complain that none of the recipes call ...

The Feelings Book: The Care & Keeping of Your Emotions (American Girl)
Lynda Madison

The feelings book brought me a tear..of satisfaction!
This was quite helpful and informative for a book aimed at preteens, yet highly accessible and understandful. It offers great tips and advice, especially on dealing with feelings and seeing them in a healthy, real perspective. I even used this for an essay I had to ...

The Other Boleyn Girl
Philippa Gregory
Touchstone, 2003
The Best!!!
This is by far, the best book in the series. It had me hooked and I read every other book by Phillipa Gregory simply because this one is so good. I found the rest were not as good as this, but were wonderful too. This is simply not to be competed with.
