Now that it has ended, I will have my memories of seeing the show as well as this amazing book. I own two copies of the book and have read it front to back. Thank you Jonathan Larson and thank you to all that have made this show the great piece of musical theatre that it is. I will miss the show, but this book will stay with me ...             Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway115 reviews Jonathan Parshall, Anthony Tully Potomac Books Inc., 2007 The Most Thoroughly Researched History I've Ever Read! Shattered Sword by Parshall and Tully is simply breathtaking, the most thoroughly researched and lucidly thought out history of an event that I have ever read. Setting out to tell the story of Midway primarily from the Japanese side they have created the new standard of that crucial battle in the dark days of 1942 that shines as an example of scholarly effort without parallel. First these ...             Christmas Miracle Of Jonathan Toomey50 reviews Susan Wojciechowski Scholastic Inc., 1948 great book! Great book...good quality...arrived in record time. I will highly recommend ordering this book for a Christmas present for any age.             Seven Pillars of Wisdom54 reviews T.E. Lawrence Jonathan Cape, 1974 $4 extra avoids abridgement ON STRIKE UNTIL AMAZON STOPS DELETING FAVORABLE VOTES FROM FANS AND COUNTING NEGATIVE VOTES FROM THOSE WHO HATE THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE BOOK BEING REVIEWED MORE THAN THEY CARE ABOUT THE REVIEW. I own an original first edition (and did not realize its value until recently), but in searching for this book to add a link from within my new book on Irregular Warfare: Waging Peace, I realized the ...             Mother Night99 reviews Kurt Vonnegut Jonathan Cape, 1968 Consumed the novel in a day The great thing about Vonnegut is that he makes it very easy to read his books, with or without an education. It may appear to some that he over simplifies or is self indulgent in his tales, which may be true, but we live in a generation of oversimplification. And a lot of people's minds are simple as well, so it only seems fitting, to keep it within our reach. The times may have changed ...             Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent75 reviews Anthony Rapp Simon & Schuster, 2006 surprised me There are things that I didn't expect, that surprised me a little bit about his character, but if anything, seeing Anthony come through all of these situations only upped my respect for him as an actor, as a writer, and as a person.             The Little Prince191 reviews Antoine de Saint-Exupery Caedmon Audio Cassette, 1983 Little Prince speaks to the child in me I was an adult when i read this book, and i really appreciated the lessons in life that Saint-Exupery shares through the Little Prince. A great book, full of beautiful illustrations, easy to read, while fun and sad at the same time. I personally read it as if Exupery is sharing with us the conversations he has with his own inner child, in the image of the Little Prince. That is why the ...             The Wide-Mouthed Frog: A POP-UP BOOK45 reviews Keith Faulkner, Jonathan Lambert Dial, 1996 Fun for all ages! No matter your age, this book offers smiles and surprises with each turn of the page. The pop-outs are delightful, and this joke simply never gets old. I've given this to "children of all ages" and smiles are guaranteed.             Swallows and Amazons54 reviews Arthur Ransome CAPE JONATHAN (RAND), 1930 Enchanting and Realistic Enchanting It's hard to explain what makes this book so charming: The writing, the way the children and their relationships with each other are shown so clearly and believably, the very real adventures they have, the sense of place....but listing those traits doesn't do the book justice. It's also really funny in places! Ransome creates a world that is clearer and lighter and more enchanting ...             National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, Fifth Edition47 reviews Jon L. Dunn, Jonathan Alderfer National Geographic, 2006 Best bird on the market One of my college professors recommended this book. It is fantastic. Good descriptions great pictures. Very good buy.             Opening Day: The Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season29 reviews Jonathan Eig Simon & Schuster, 2008 Graceful Like Its Subject A complex, nuanced portrait of Jackie Robinson, told with stunning detail and insight into the first black man to play major league baseball in the 20th century. As an historical account, this book goes beyond myth and revisionist morality to create what feels like a genuine account of a complicated man in a complicated place. As a baseball book, it is wonderfully expansive on an important era ...             Carry on Jeeves/Audio Cassettes (Bertie Wooster & Jeeves)31 reviews P. G. Wodehouse, Jonathan Cecil Chivers Audio Books, 1991 A Capital Collection This volume of ten stories originally hails from 1925. I read them in the 1999- 2000 Penguin paperback edition. While many readers like the covers by Ionicus on earlier Penguin paperbacks, these recent editions with covers by David Hitch are my favorites. They are very well done, reasonably priced and just the right size, which is to say, perfect for the novice or seasoned Wodehouse reader. The ...             Harry the Dirty Dog (Little Greats)40 reviews Gene Zion Jonathan Cape, 1991 My favorite is now one of hers... I loved this book as a child and now my 2 year old loves it too. This book tells the story of Harry, who hates baths. He hates them so much that he buries his brush and (temporarily) runs away from home. He plays and gets so dirty that his family thinks he is a different dog entirely. The story is sweet and simple enough for my 2 year old to enjoy, but not so simple that it's boring or ...             Comic Book Tattoo Tales Inspired by Tori Amos28 reviews Pia Guerra, John Reppion, ... Image Comics, 2008 Creative eye candy You think you understand an artist's direction, but then they take a new turn. I love the medium, and expression of all of the artists. Thanks Tori             All About Lulu29 reviews Jonathan Evison Soft Skull Press, 2008 The difference is readability. Ok, sadly I got the idea of titling my review from a beer commercial but it really makes sense for this novel. From the moment you open it up the prose is so readable and compelling that you are almost forced (unknowingly) to read the entire book in a single sitting. I believe it to be unreasonable and misleading to compare this novel to previous works such as Lolita and Catcher in the Rye. Sure ...             Leave It to Psmith33 reviews P. G. Wodehouse Chivers Audio Books, 1998 Always Wonderful If you know Wodehouse, you love Wodehouse and this book will just confirm your feelings. If you don't know Wodehouse, read this or any other book and you will fall in love with him. Every book you read is like going on vacation.             Where Rivers Change Direction42 reviews Mark Spragg Jonathan Cape, 2000 more than five stars I'd worry about peope who don't hurt themselves laughing while reading Wapiti School. My goodness, these stories are terrific, sometimes tough and bitter, sometimes perfect poetry. Just wonderful.             Owen39 reviews Kevin Henkes Jonathan Cape, 1995 children's hit for a child of any age that has a favorite blanket (blankey) a plot a young child can follow and relate to.             The Winshaw Legacy or What a Carve Up!26 reviews Jonathan Coe Alfred A. Knopf, 1995 Complex but rewarding 1995 novel Michael Owen has been hired by 81-year old Tabitha Winshaw to produce a biography of her powerful British family. In 1942, Godfrey Winshaw's plane was shot down by the Germans, but Tabitha has always suspected that her other brother Lawrence had caused Godfrey's death to protect his traitorous business dealings with the enemy. As a result, the family had committed her to an asylum the past ...             Arctic Crossing : A Journey Through the Northwest Passage and Inuit Culture29 reviews Jonathan Waterman Random House of Canada, Limited, 2001 Articulate Adventurer Who was it who said, "less is more"? That's one truth that stands out in Jonathan Waterman's "Artic Crossing" - a epical solo trip of the Northwest Passage done without fanfare, without oodles of sponsorship dough. I liked the author's cool, understated writing style, the wry observations about his sufferings and about the Inuits. No hyperbole, none of self-inflation that is so common in ...              search for books amazons, america, bertie, cassettes, change, christmas, crossing, culture, direction, edition, geographic, inspired, jonathan, journey, miracle, mouthed, musical, national, northwest, opening, passage, pillars, robinson, shattered, swallows, through, wide-mouthed, winshaw, without, wooster books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
