F. Scott Fitzgerald's the Great Gatsby (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)

Classic romance and tale of a man who isn't exactly what he seems
Set in the Roarin' Twenties, this unforgetable classic is a romance as well as the story of Jay Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald told the story in a unique way, through the voice of Nick Carraway, an impartial aquaintace of both Gatsby and Daisy. Details of the golden ...

Chaim Potok's The Chosen (Bloom's Guides)

Chelsea House Publications, 2004

Another of my top ten
I absolutely loved this book. I had to read it for my class, but I wanted to read it again the second I got done. It was the first book that I read that I got emotional about. I really recommend this book.

Things Fall Apart (Modern Critical Interpretations Series)

Chinua Achebe

Chelsea House Publications, 2002

What makes fiction important
I know this is the classic debate of all time when it comes to literature: Is it about beautifully written prose (THE STORY OF EDGAR SAWTELLE, incidentally, is a good example of this problem) or does it tell a compelling story? (yet the prose itself is not its strong ...

George Orwell's 1984 (Bloom's Guides)

1984 is a social commentary on history and the appalling state of public policy and society generally told through a love story that resonates with a deep familiarity for all modern readers.

Forensic Medicine (Inside Forensic Science)
Howard C., M.D. Adelman

Chelsea House Publications, 2006

Toni Morrison's Beloved (Bloom's Guides)

Chelsea House Publications, 2003

Voice for the Voiceless - Noble (and Nobel) attempt
Beloved HAD to be written. The African-American tragedy is told here in a way that the slaves could not have articulated themselves - but here their souls cry out. True, Toni Morrison does not quite make this a total work of Art. The devices are too obvious as she ...

David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars (Bloom's Guides)

Chelsea House Publications, 2004

A Beautiful Story
What amazed me about this book was the way the story was told. It's kind of a courtroom drama, kind of a romance, and very much a commentary on the state of a torn and divided nation after World War II. On the North end of Puget Sound there was a murder and the ...

I know Why the Caged Bird Sings (Blooms Guides) (Bloom's Guides)

Chelsea House Publications, 2004

Well Written Account

The 80's (20th Century Pop Culture)

Dan Epstein

Chelsea House Publications, 2000

Awesome!
This book is really awesome! I was doing an 80's project in school and this really really helped with the entertainment part. This book is a great book and if you need entertainment rescources get this book.

E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)

Chelsea House Publications, 2001

History? Fiction? Fictory? Who cares, it's great!
Give this one a few chapters to hook you, as Doctorow's style here won't suit everyone's tastes. There is very little dialogue, and often he employs repetitive staccato sentences in brief summary descriptions, like: "He came in. He sat down. He counted his change. ...

Code Talkers and Warriors: Native Americans and World War II (Landmark Events in Native American History)
Tom Holm

Chelsea House Publications, 2007

New Amsterdam (Colonial Settlements in America)

Tennessee Williams's a Streetcar Named Desire (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)

Chelsea House Publications, 1988

One Of The Best!!
A Streetcar Named Desire, by Tennessee Williams is one of the best plays that I have read in years. First adapted to film in 1951, by Oscar Saul. I must recommend this play to all theatre directors out there and say that this would be a very large hit. Once again, I ...
