The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, Day 1)

Patrick Rothfuss

DAW, 2008

Absolutely Brilliant...
I am not usually one to write reviews on here, but this novel is just too good to not write about. This is one of the best novels I have ever read. The plot was paced well, the characters were human and non-cliched, the story was completely engrossing, and the ...

Excellent, I had read the other Drake Sisters book first, so wanted to read book 1.

The Shadow of the Wind

Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2005

Incredible book
I can't even begin to describe what a wonderful book this is. It is definately top 5 for me. The characters in this novel are rich in depth. Emotionally and physically I had a vivid picture in my head about each and every one of them. The pain of a father, a son, ...

Great for All Ages and Diets
As a culinary educator I recommend this book highly to parents who not only have children with ADHD but also for those with food allergies. I use it as a resource since it addresses all the ingredients which are usually problems for children - soy, dairy, wheat, etc. ...

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: A Novel

Haruki Murakami

Vintage, 1998

Quite the story, you just can't walk away from it.
I just finished reading The Wind Up Bird Chronicle, I stayed up too late several nights in a row because I couldn't put it down. Sometimes scary and haunting but altogether very beautifully written and very true to the human situation.

To Kill a Mockingbird

Harper Lee

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2002

Everyone's Favorite . . .
I honestly have no idea how many times I have read this book. I read it first as an assignment in the eighth grade; most recently, at the age of 41, I read it aloud to three of my children. As with the more recent readings that I recall, I choked up a bit at the end ...

East of Eden

John Steinbeck

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003

Good job!
Finally! This was quick, simple, and they sent a used book which was exactly in the perfect condition they described...... the package even had a small smiley face with a note to enjoy. Corny? Maybe, but I felt like a real person took an interest in wrapping and ...

Dana Carpender

Fair Winds Press (MA), 2002

Can't live without it!
When the low-carb craze was hot, I jumped on the bandwagon. It was easy then...low-carb products filled the store shelves. There were bars, shakes, candy, low-carb meals, and low-carb selections at almost every restaurant! I lost lots of weight and felt better than I ...

The Wrinkle in Time Quintet Boxed Set (A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many ...

Madeleine L'Engle

Square Fish, 2007

Good for another generation!
The first book in this series, A Wrinkle in Time, was my favorite book as a young girl. I bought this for my very bright 12 yr old son recently. After reading it, he told me that it may be the best he has read & he reads extensively (including all the Potters)! We ...

Makeup Makeovers: Expert Secrets for Stunning Transformations

Robert Jones

Fair Winds Press, 2005

Satisfied yet puzzled...
I just bought this book today, having looked at most of the pages at the bookstore. I love his suggestion about the basic color palette needed to create depths and midtones and highlights for the eye area - given on page 63. There are 13 shades all in the ranges of ...

Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?

Whispering Winds Press, 2006

The Big Picture
Everything always makes sense when you can see the big picture. This book provides a glimpse into why events we perceive as "bad" happen, through a varied collection of individual cases. Our lives in this "reality" are just learning experiences, to expand our ...

Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days (Left Behind No. 1)

Tim LaHaye, Jerry B. Jenkins

Tyndale House Publishers, 1996

I Like It
I love this book. I had to force myself to but it down so I don't read though it all at once. I find that the characters are very real, and other than the initial event (the Rapture) all of the following events sound realistically possible (in a novel). I have read ...
