Its amazing that a monster can be so likeable and so sympathetic. I listened to the audio version and I really loved it. The story is great and Dexter is so amazingly well developed, that you really feel like you know him. One tiny complaint, and this is only for the audio book recording, you can hear the reader swallow and sometimes ...             Diary of a Wimpy Kid Do-It-Yourself Book15 reviews Jeff Kinney Amulet Books, 2008 Not a rip-off after all My 9 year old loved the first two Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. On a recent trip to the bookstore, he chose the Do-It-Yourself Book as his book for the week. At first, I said no, because I thought it was a rip-off that more than half of the book is just lined pages! He convinced me in the end, and he has loved the book. Not as much as the first two, but he has spent many hours reading it and ...             Diary of a Wimpy Kid173 reviews Jeff Kinney Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2007 Teacher's Grade: A+ I teach 4th grade in an inner-city elementary school, and this book gets top marks from me for one primary reason: the kids in my class love reading it! The fact that my diverse class can be so excited by one single book is a small miracle, but the simple illustrations and related storylines have captured the imaginations of my students, who are have been hard at work on their own journals ...             Dirt on My Shirt27 reviews Jeff Foxworthy HarperCollins, 2008 loved it! I am a children's book enthusiast. My 3 year old son has hundreds of books on his shelf mostly bought here on Amazon (great prices AND great service). My husband, son and I love this book. It is just so clever and a really fun bedtime read!             Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw (Diary of a Wimpy Kid) Jeff Kinney Amulet Books, 2009 The highly anticipated third book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series takes the art of being wimpy to a whole new level.   Let?s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways. Somebody just needs to explain that to Greg?s father. You see, Frank Heffley actually thinks he can get his son to toughen up, and he enlists Greg in organized sports and other ?manly? endeavors. Of course, Greg is able to easily sidestep his ...             Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking176 reviews Jeff Hertzberg, Zoe Francois Thomas Dunne Books, 2007 This is the Greatest!!! My sister turned me on to this book and bought a copy for me. I was interested because she had made a number of excellent breads when I came to visit. After returning home, my daughter and I made our first batch of standard dough and baked our first loaf. Baking has never been easy for me. I like the fact that the dough stores for up to two weeks, and the crust is crisp while the inside is light ...             Boys Will Be Boys: The Glory Days and Party Nights of the Dallas Cowboys Dynasty28 reviews Jeff Pearlman Harper, 2008 Must for any football fan Jeff Pearlman, author of a terrific Barry Bonds biography and a book about the 1986 Mets, does a great job of profiling the 1990s Dallas Cowboys. Even if(like me) you hate the Cowboys you should read the book. The characters are far more interesting than in any work of fiction, from the extremely promiscuous Michael Irvin to the square Troy Aikman to heartless but effective coach Jimmy Johnson. ...             The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement308 reviews Eliyahu M. Goldratt, Jeff Cox North River Press, 2004 Classic story of Lean, Love and Happiness An old boss of mine at Amazon.com gave me a signed copy of this book to read about lean processing. Obviously, this book is a classic. What people fail to mention in their journey with the main character on lean manufacturing in desperate times, is the love story that unfolds in between the pressure of capitalism in a small town. While not a book to actually get specific action items, it does ...             For Men Only: A Straightforward Guide to the Inner Lives of Women96 reviews Shaunti Feldhahn, Jeff Feldhahn Multnomah Books, 2006 A must-have This book is a must-have for men who want to make their marriage better. It's straight-forward and honest and real. Women--buy it for your husband. And buy yourself "For Women Only". Our church does classes on Wednesday nights and classes on these two books are very popular and very, very helpful to marriages!! Mine was greatly improved after my husband and I each completed the classes. We ...             Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)114 reviews Jeff Kinney Amulet Books, 2008 another funny book My family loves this book, and the original "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". It is too fun, and the perfect book for reluctant readers age 8-10. They cannot resists the humor! Makes you remember elementary school all over again.             Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of ...80 reviews Elissa Wall, Lisa Pulitzer William Morrow, 2008 used books I ordered a used book as it was cheaper and I don't like to keep books after I read them. This book came in the condition that was described. The shipment came in a very timely manner, and I loved the book.             Bone Volume 8: Treasure Hunters4 reviews Jeff Smith GRAPHIX, 2008 Bone is a special kind of graphic novel, enjoyable for adults as it is for kids Back in the early '90s, Bone became the little book that could. Written, drawn and independently published by Jeff Smith over the course of 12 years, Bone told an epic fantasy with wit and humor and not a small amount of suspense. Some thought it couldn't be done. The comics market wasn't healthy for such small ventures, and publishing and distributing a comic out of a garage --- as Smith did --- ...             A Plump and Perky Turkey7 reviews Teresa Bateman Marshall Cavendish Corporation, 2004 Great Tempo! A Plump and Perky Turkey has a pleasingly poetic rhyme. This book is a blast to read aloud, but a little tricky the first time around. "They make turkeys out of spuds, and out of clay and out of rope. They made turkeys out of oatmeal, and out of paper, out of soap." That portion is my son's favorite. It's repeated three times in the story, but he laughs every time. I'm not sure if it's the ...             Worldliness: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World4 reviews C. J. Mahaney Crossway Books, 2008 great book, this is what christians of this generation need! Many professing Christians proclaim to love God, but yet still deny Him in the sinful lifestyle they live in worldliness, this book is for any christian wanting to grow further in His walk with the Lord and depart from the ways of the world. If we are true followers we deny self desire and forsake all to proclaim Christ and become like a new creature! C.J. Mahaney is an awesome man of God :)             The Slight Edge: Secret to a Successful Life19 reviews Jeff Olson Momentum Media, 2005 Amazing book , changed my LIFE ! This book changed my life , now I read almost everyday few pages of great books. "Successful People Do What Unsuccessful People Are Not Willing to DO !" ---(Quote from the Book) Thank you Naman             The Steel Wave: A Novel of World War II41 reviews Jeff Shaara Ballantine Books, 2008 Shaara's latest dives into well-worn field of D-Day & Normandy Jeff Shaara continues to follow in the footsteps of his father, Michael ("The Killer Angels") with "The Steel Wave." The model is simple. Take a major event in military history and fictionalize it (slightly) by telling the story from the perspective of a revolving cast of characters from both sides, usually reflecting both the commanders and the low-ranking grunts. From the Civil War to WWI to ...             Dexter in the Dark (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)162 reviews Jeff Lindsay Vintage, 2008 Dexter Part 3 This book in the Dexter series takes a different approach than the other 2 books. I read a lot of the reviews here, and I was almost tempted not to bother listening to the audio book version I had. However, its a great read and it delves into Dexter - who he is, why he is the way he is, and what is important to him personally. This book isn't nearly as amazing or exciting as the first book, ...             Bone: One Volume Edition100 reviews Jeff Smith Cartoon Books, 2004 a bone-tastic series this series is full of action,laughs and sadness. i rate it 5 stars. i enjoyed the character becaue they are funny and curious. i think jeff smith is an awesome author because i can understand what he is writing about such as war is dangerous and lying gets you nothing but trouble. i think more people should start reading the bone series it is amazing             Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK (Beginning) Dave Mark, Jeff LaMarche Apress, 2008 Are you a programmer looking for a new challenge?

The second book is a major departure from the second season of Dexter. The two are barely comparable. So, don't buy this book if you want it to be close to that. However, that said, the book really is very good. The author plays with characters in ways that many authors are afraid to.
