Everything Wally Lamb writes is amazing so of course this book was no exception. The only thing I didn't like about it was it was too short and ended too quickly. I laughed out loud many times while reading and even now catch myself thinking about the story and laughing again. Felix Funicello (Funny Jello)was an average kid growing up in the 60's in NYC, attending a Catholic school who had some ...             The Trouble with J.J.3 reviews Bantam, 2009 My favorite book to date. I love this book! Sometimes I am in the mood for a cheap taudry romance novel but I am always in the mood for a fun love affair! Sure there is some sex in it but overall it is a lighthearted comedy love story. I had the book but misplaced it years ago and finally tracked down the name of the book. I just now placed an order to buy a used one from here. I don't care what condition it's in as ...             A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 1.1 review Public Domain Books, 2004 Don't Bother Downloading this Edition - Part 7 of 10 is Missing This book is parted out into 10 sections. Unfortunately part 7 cannot be found anywhere on Amazon so don't start with this edition. There's another Kindle edition for $.99 (ASIN: B001B14VHA) that comes as a single download. This is really a great book for boys and well worth $.99. Each of the 10 parts is about 50 pages. Format looks fine on a Kindle (I use the smallest font).             The Facts Concerning the Recent Carnival of Crime in Connecticut1 review Public Domain Books, 2004 Comic short story by Twain This is a short first-person comic story in which the narrator (presumably, Twain himself) details how he found his conscience and what he did to it when he found it. It's an amusing little satire of societal mores, and a pretty good example of Twain's writing, too; not the best thing he ever wrote, but entertaining enough and worth reading.             Orange Is the New Black: One Year in a Women's Prison77 reviews Spiegel & Grau, 2010 Wise, beautiful and funny I love this book -- Kerman writes with dry wit and deep insight about her stint in a women's prison, and her love for her boyfriend waiting on the outside. She never condescends, she never feels sorry for herself -- she accepts the consequences of her action and comes to have as much regard for the friends she makes at Danbury as she does anger at the injustices of the American penal system ...             A Single Thread27 reviews Kensington, 2008 well written and engaging As a counselor I'm well aware of the sometimes extraordinary secrets and stresses people carry quietly. I've also seen how just one small event (be it an action or a person) that comes at just the right time can literally change a life. Through the lives of some quilters I know, I've also seen how powerful a quilting community can be and how it can make a difference in a person's life. Whether ...             The Devil's Rooming House: The True Story of America's Deadliest Female Serial Killer10 reviews Lyons Press, 2010 Black widow America's deadliest female serial killer performed her deeds a century ago. As with most of such murderers, Amy Archer Gilligan, proprietor of a home for the aged in Windsor, CT, projected a benign image of generosity and good citizenship. And, as with many woman who kill, she used poison as her weapon of choice. Gilligan was formally accused of five murders, but tried and convicted for only ...             CliffsNotes Praxis II: Elementary Education (0011, 0012, 0014) (CliffsNotes AP)13 reviews Judy L. Paris, Jocelyn L. Paris Cliffs Notes, 2009 Good study guide I had less than a month to study for the Elementary Ed: Content Knowledge Test (0014). I needed to take the test to become a highly qualified special educator. I looked at a lot of books before settling on this one, and I was very happy with my choice. The book gives you a brief overview of many of the topics that will be on the test so you do not have to dig through textbooks or search the web ...             CliffsNotes Praxis II: Middle School Mathematics Test (0069) Test Prep9 reviews Sandra Luna McCune PhD, E. Donice McCune Cliffs Notes, 2008 CliffsNotes PRAXIS II: Middle School Math (0069) Test Prep Great book for those who need a quick review of basic algebra, geometry, data analysis and discreet math. It was concise and helped me a lot. However, I would only recommend this book if you already have a notion of what you are doing in math. It is not for the very beginner as it assumes some background knowledge. On the other hand, if you are preparing to take the PRAXIS II for Middle School ...             Frommer's New England (Frommer's Complete)16 reviews Paul Karr, Leslie Brokaw, ... Frommers, 2008 A Must Have This book is a must have if you're traveling through New England. One of the best features is suggested itineraries if you're at a loss where the best spots are to hit and how to get to them in the time frame you're visiting whether that would be one, two weeks or something else. Love the information on lodging. The book breaks it down from very expensive to economical and suggests such things ...             A Thread of Truth22 reviews Marie Bostwick Kensington, 2009 Seller very accurate... The book was as the seller said it was, a little tear in the cover, but who cares..I just wanted to read it =)             The Children in Room E4: American Education on Trial15 reviews Algonquin Books, 2007 A must read! This book is compelling chronicle of de facto segregation in the north. It is clearly a call to action if we want to provide equal opportunity for all of our citizens, regardless of race.             A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court (mobi)6 reviews MobileReference, 2008 Simply great entertainment What else can be said about Twain except great story. Imaginative work paralleling medieval England with Industrial America in the lat 19th century. Witty, adventurous and well written. I have yet to read a Twain book I disliked.             Swapping Lives91 reviews Plume, 2007 A Great Beach Read Great literature this was not, but it does pass for a great beach read. The basic premise of the novel is just as the title says, the story of two women Swapping Lives. Vicky, a single, career-minded, yet a bit desperate to find a man, features editor for a well-known magazine, swaps lives with Amber, a married mother of two who has enough money to not only keep up with "the Joneses", but to ...             Revolutionary Road250 reviews Vintage, 2008 Revolutionary Road...An American Tragedy Basicallly, Revolutionary Road is a brilliantly told saga in the war between the sexes.

Wally Lamb, the bestselling author, was a teacher first. When he wrote his first two novels, they were both picked up by Oprah Winfrey and her book club, causing them to become instant successes. Because of the success, Lamb was forever being asked for speaking engagements or to support causes. And because he is such a nice man, he has an incredibly hard time saying no. In fact, Lamb had to write ...             A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, Part 3.1 review Public Domain Books, 2004 Don't Bother Downloading this Edition - Part 7 of 10 is Missing This book is parted out into 10 sections.
