The only way to improve it would be to add a visual alphabetical index.             American Wife: A Novel7 reviews Curtis Sittenfeld Random House, 2008 Loved it Great summaries in the other reviews - I won't repeat those. I loved the beginning and middle of this book. Loved Alice, her childhood, her growing up experiences, her family, her life as a single woman, her courtships, her experiences with the Blackwell family (these were my favorite sections), and her relationship with her husband, the future president.

Wadsworth Publishing, 2003 easy to read but too much useless info I can honestly say that reading/learning this book thoroughly helped me get a 4 on the AP exam. It was easy to read too. However, it was pretty annoying to sift through A LOT of useless information in the book. There was one chapter where they took up a fourth of a page to describe Andrew Jackson's HAIR COLOR and physical features. In the chapter about the salem witch trials, they ...             The Norton Anthology of American Literature, Package 1: Volumes A and B2 reviews W. W. Norton, 2007 Cheaper than the University Bookstore I havent even taken this book from it's packaging, but all I know for sure is that I paid far less on Amazon than I would have at the University Bookstore and that's all that needs to be said. I give this book 5 stars for that reason alone.             The Care & Keeping of You: The Body Book for Girls (American Girl Library)265 reviews Valorie Schaefer American Girl, 1998 A Good Introduction to Coming Changes This book was empowering for my daughter. She read it every evening for a week after she got it, and we talked about the parts that were a little confusing. She loved being able to talk like an expert on topics so important to her right now. (She is almost 10.) It doesn't provide information on more grown-up topics, so it's good for a young tween. The drawings on the cover may seem a little ...             The Norton Anthology of American Literature, Package 2: Volumes C, D, and E4 reviews W. W.

Neither book should be used without an instructor. I also use the DVD ...             Dear American Airlines: A Novel20 reviews Jonathan Miles Houghton Mifflin Co, 2008 Best book I've read this year! Not since I've read Junot Diaz's "Oscar Wao" have I so enjoyed every minute of a book. So much story in this slim little volume! Bennie's story, his mother and father's, ex-wives, and Walenty, his character in the book he is translating, WoW! . Yes, it's dark, twisted, but hilarious with precisely drawn characters. I laughed and cried with poor Bennie. Like all of us, he is still trying ...             MAGRUDER' S 2007 AMERICAN GOVERNMENT (Magruder's American Government)1 review William A.

Though the humor is as dark as possible, it's true to Ellis and true to the story. I cannot find any failure whatsoever with this book. For readers who complain parts are "boring" or "gross": I would tell you that this is not accidental. Bret Easton ...             The American Promise: A History of the United States, Volume II: From 18654 reviews James L. Roark, Michael P. Johnson, ... Bedford/St. Martin's, 2008 Outstanding edition!
