Cold Rock River

J. L. Miles

Cumberland House Publishing, 2006

Moved to the Top of my All Time Favorite List
As a born and bred Southern belle, I love Southern fiction, but as a former teacher and life-long reader, I'm picky about what I give five star ratings to. I picked up a copy of Cold Rock River, and to my husband's exasperation was still reading at 3 AM, because I ...

At first glance
I have only glanced at this product but it is well organized. I am an English major and it seems the author goes into great detail to analyze the book in an easy to understand manner. I am looking forward to using this discussion kit while I am reading the novel and at ...

Que libro tan maravilloso
Este es un libro que todo el mundo deberia leer. Es muy conmovedor y enseña muy buenas lecciones de vida. La historia tiene partes felices y partes muy tristes y duras. Al terminar de leer este libro sientes como a veces tomamos la vida "for granted". Hermosa historia ...

A Thousand Splendid Suns

Khaled Hosseini

Riverhead, 2007

Deep, but easy read
I loved this book! I'm a slow reader and I was so engrossed in the story, I finished it in five days! When you're staying up all night reading, you know it's a good book! I was so moved by the story, I bought The Kite Runner afterwards. This book really gives us a ...

The Kite Runner Illustrated Edition

Khaled Hosseini

Riverhead Hardcover, 2007

Difficult story to read, but worth it
I was given a copy of this book as a gift. I had heard from several people that it's a good book -- a "hard" read, but well worth it. For that reason, I held off reading it, because I just didn't want to read anything "hard" or difficult or upsetting, or whatever, at ...

KITE RUNNER

Riverhead Books, 2003

cried to the very last page
It is rare to find a book that touches ones heart and turns on the floodgates. And even rarer to find a book that holds ones attention so completely that one is compelled to finish it irregardless of how long it takes. I was not sure what to expect and all I was ...

The Kite Runner: A Portrait of the Epic Film (Newmarket Pictorial Moviebooks)

David Benioff

Newmarket, 2008

Please read the book first!
This is a wonderful film. Still, I would strongly recommend that you read the book first. Like the "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" movies, this film is faithful to the book, and very evocative of it. If you have read the book, watching the movie is like ...

Devil's Playground

Said Yassin Zia

Morris Pub, 1996

A Hidden Gem!
I was intrigued when my sister gave me this book a little while ago. With the popularity of Kite Runner, I wanted to read a story about Afghanistan that wasn't fiction, and wasn't a war laden story or simply history (there are plenty of those!) I knew that there was ...

Cool Maps for Curious Kids #2: Afghanistan, an Unauthorized Tour of the Land of A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS and ...

W. Frederick Zimmerman

Nimble Books, 2007

Worthless for kids...or adults....or teachers...or anybody.
This was such a profound disappointment, I hasten to discourage anybody from going to the trouble buy this book....especially if you hate to send things back...like me. Please understand, this is NOT a book of maps, it is a book of PICTURES of maps,and thus worthless ...
