Enhanced College Physics (with PhysicsNOW)
Raymond A. Serway, Jerry S. Faughn, ...

Brooks Cole, 2006

Still a good, sound text for college general physics...
Updaated: Fall 2008. Still using this text. Still no complaints, verbal or otherwise, from students. Will continue using it for another year. Gave it five stars, because of the other review here about amazons slow delivery. Didn't order mine from amazon, so I can't ...

Ian K. Smith

St. Martin's Griffin, 2006

After one year from completing phase 3...
Hello, I thought you might want to hear from someone who's not currently on the diet (as so many reviewers...trust me, I understand their enthusiasm!) I finished all three phases 11 months ago, and I have maintained all the weight off. I lost 30 pounds, and I feel ...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)
J. K. Rowling

Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007

Awesome
This book was awesome. From the first chapter I was involved. I have loved Harry since the moment I first opened a book. My only thing was, was that I woul have liked more of a story from Voldermorts defeat to 19 years later. We need another book! AWESOME, is the best ...
  
  











  



  
The Annotated Lolita: Revised and Updated
Vladimir Nabokov, Alfred Appel Jr.

Vintage, 1991

Approaching Perfection; Incredible Annotations
First: Nabokov is a fierce talent; he writes, transcending language, with the whole literary tradition a pun's breath away. Greatest stylist of modern times, etc. Lolita needs no introduction: if you are here, you know. The Annotated Lolita (2nd edition) also defies ...
  
  











  



  
Lolita
Vladimir Nabokov

Vintage, 1989

A road movie of the mind
Praise be to Graham Greene, who was not only an interesting novelist (e.g. The Quiet American), but he also has the merit of saving Nabokov's Lolita from obscurity. When the book found no publisher in the US, it was first brought out by a shady Parisian company that ...

The Pact: A Love Story (P.S.)
Jodi Picoult

Harper Perennial, 2006

couldn't put the damn book down!
I wouldn't say this book will become a "classic" or anything, but I found myself without the strength to put The Pact down. In my opinion, the story is both clever and enthralling. As a whole, although the novel is a love story, it is not a cliche romance. The whole ...
  
  











  



  
On Beauty
Zadie Smith

Penguin Books, 2006

Satirical and sensitive
This is the story of two families, each family headed up by a strong-willed academic man. These two patriarchs are opposites and enemies (or rivals, if you want to be optimistic). The emotional center of the book revolves around Howard's struggling marriage to Kiki. ...
  
  











  



  
Lolita
Vladimir Nabokov

Penguin Books Ltd, 1998

Selfishness and stupidity cause more pain than evil can
In the field of erotic literature, this novel has probably touched the awareness of the public more than any other, to such an extent that the once innocuous name of Lolita has become another name for youthful feminine charm and sexuality, to put it mildly. Those ...
  
  











  



  
Vanishing Acts: A Novel
Jodi Picoult

Washington Square Press, 2005

Amazing
This is a great book, it is the kind of book you don't want to put down. I like how there are several turns in the book, just when you have made up your mind about a character something new comes along to give you a new perspectve.
  
  











  



  
The Lolita Effect: The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What We Can Do About It
M. Gigi Durham

Overlook Hardcover, 2008

an eye-opener--a must-read for parents and teachers
I see there are a number of other positive reviews up already, but I wanted to add my two cents. Durham's argument is powerful and extremely accessible. I admit that I had never taken notice of a lot of the extremely harmful and negative trends in modern media that ...
