Night (Oprah's Book Club)
Elie Wiesel
Hill and Wang, 2006
Great book
+ I RECOMMEND IT.
+ Very moving, impactful, horrific......
If you haven't read this book then you must read it. I have nothing else to say about it than that. The feelings and emotions this book stirred within me are too great to put into words. At the end of the book there is a speech given by Elie Wiesel and there were two phrases that jumped out at me ...

Blue Bloods
Melissa De La Cruz
Hyperion, 2007
Great reading experience.
+ Blue Bloods
+ I know its not Twilight but the 2nd book is even better!
So, I may be married with two kids but I've found lately that I'm entertained with the different vampire series. Even though I'm grown up and have responsibilities I still enjoy some of the concept of high school drama. I think there was some great character developement. Only think that sticks ...

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Mark Haddon
Vintage, 2004
Inside an autistic mind
+ I've never read anything that even remotely resembles this novel
+ insightful summer read
As the father of an autistic child, I completely got into this book, and finished in a couple of hours. I can relate to the protagonist completely since it is written from his point of view. The author is very skilled in showing how disparate the inside and outside world are from the perspective ...

Reviewed by Jocelyn Pearce
on 07/13/2008
These are not your typical prom nights. Each of the five authors has written a spooky, supernatural story about Prom. Some great authors are included in this collection, and it's certainly worth reading! The stories include a range of supernatural ...

The Dive From Clausen's Pier: A Novel
Ann Packer
Vintage, 2003
Spectacular!
I loved the opening chapter--it was shocking, jarring, and beautifully written. The book doesn't let up--I was hooked from the start and read it almost straight through. Carrie is a complicated character--likable and flawed as we all are. A truly compelling read.

Looking for Alaska
John Green
Puffin, 2006
Greatest Book~*~* MUST READ
+ dragged on a bit
+ Moving and pertinent
Looking for Alaska by John Green, is an amazing book. I was a little apprehensive about reading it with my 10th graders, but they immediately fell in love with the book. For some of them, this was the first book they've ever finished, and at age 15-16 I think that speaks for itself.
You get ...

Queen of Babble
Meg Cabot
Avon A, 2007
Thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
+ Love Lizzie's adventures
+ The BIGGEST mouth of them all!
I loved this book so much! I thought it was a fantastic, quick read with a great story. In fact, I read it so fast that I went out the next day to buy Queen of Babble in the Big City. I've pre-ordered the 3rd and final book in the series as well (Gets Hitched). If the 3rd book is anything ...

The Necessary Hunger: A Novel
Nina Revoyr
St. Martin's Griffin, 1998
Real, gritty, inspiring.
+ Lots of Issues
+ Buy this book immediately!
I started this book because it looked like it'd be a fun read: a gay sports story. Not that many going around. But by the time I 'd finished it I realized it was so much more than that.
The Necessary Hunger touched me on so many levels that it's hard to lay them all out in any sort of order. ...
