I picked up this series because I was in the process of writing a fantasy novel with a gay hero and I wanted to see what other works were out there. I had never read Ms. Lackey's work, so I didn't know what to expect. I was not just pleasantly surprised by this trilogy, I was completely captivated by it and very sad when I reached the final page. The plot is interesting and the pace is quick. The ...             The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles270 reviews Julie Edwards Harper, 1974 Perfect book for a family car trip We read this book on a long car trip to our 4 year old. The DNA/genetics parts were over his head (although we likened cells to Legos and DNA to blueprints), but the rest of it was thoroughly understood and enjoyed. It kept us all completely engrossed and wondering what was going to happen next, which is a great way to pass time on a long road trip. The Professor's exercises for Lindy and her ...             Ride the Wind: Story of Cynthia Ann Parker and the Last Days of the Comanche127 reviews Lucia St.Clair Robson Ballantine Books Inc., 1992 Not Ur expected western WOW - THIS IS NOT AN EZ READ - VERY EXPLICIT - VERY BRUTAL AND GRAPHIC TORTURE - PLEASE BE WARNED - NOT UR USUAL WESTERN With that being said, please read . . . . This was REAL life for these people, our ancestors, here we are in our "safe" lives and these people didnt know if they would live to see tomorrow - but that didnt stop them from loving, bearing children, enjoying all "their" ...             Last Days of Summer148 reviews Steve Kluger Avon, 2005 I'm heartbroken My introduction to Steve Kluger was with "Almost Like Being In Love." The format threw me for a bit, but, once used to the manner in which the author was to tell his story, I went on to enjoy this delightful story. Next came this book..."Last Days of Summer." I found the author's website and wrote him an e-mail; I was about thirty pages short of the book's end at that moment. I sent another ...             The Last Aloha66 reviews Gaellen Quinn Lost Coast Press, 2009 Last of the Classy Monarchs A poignant historical novel about the end of the Hawaiian Monarchy and the elegance of its regents. If we are lucky, Gaellen Quinn will deliver a second novel on the interregnum leading to the modern Hawaiian independence movement and again deliver it with an accurate but sensitive treatment rich in empathy and void of political polemic. She speaks affectionately of the universal lodestone of ...             The Last Vampire: Collector's Edition, Vol. 1 (The Last Vampire 1/ The Last Vampire 2: Black Blood/ The Last ...72 reviews Christopher Pike Simon Pulse, 1998 Wonderful vampire series While not Anne Rice, this series is great. It's geared for a slightly younger audience than Anne Rice's books, and I read it when I was in that target audience. This book impressed me a lot. I enjoyed the fact that these three books were bound together. Originally I had read just the first one, but when I was at the library I found this collector's volume and of course picked it up. The story is ...             The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors154 reviews James D. Hornfischer Random House Large Print, 2004 "Our schoolchildren should know about [this] incident, and our enemies should ponder it." In late October 1944 the US Navy guarded the seas off the Philippines protecting the return of General MacArthur. With the 7th Fleet (Kinkaid) guarding from the south, and the 3rd Fleet (Halsey) guarding the north, those in the middle didn't expect to see much action. But Japan knew it's days were numbered and invented a daring plan to protect their position and resources in the Philippines by ...             Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw157 reviews Jeff Kinney Amulet Books, 2009 The Last Straw This series of books are one of the best I've ever read in children books....My kids love them also             The Last Silk Dress125 reviews Ann Rinaldi Laurel Leaf, 1999 Girl In Tragic Times, Wonderful Susan is growing up during the Civil War. She helps the Confederate Cause by collecting silk dresses for a balloon to spy on the Union army. She also struggles with her mother, who takes out her anger on Susan. But when she meets her brother Lucien, who was shunned from the family and has anti-Confederate views, her loyalties are tested. Can she do what she thinks is right, without hurting ...             Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy83 reviews Mary Stewart Eos, 1980 Bicep-growing page-turner Give this book a hundred pages to get going, and you'll find yourself unable to put it down. Which could be a problem, given the tome's enormous size. Physical difficulties (weary eyes from the small print, soreness in the arms from trying to find comfortable ways to hold it) aside, the book rewards with its incredibly rich cast of characters. Stewart's research into and facility with the time ...             The Last Legends of Earth38 reviews A.A. Attanasio Spectra, 1990 Humanity in perspective I love this book. I read it years ago and forgot the name of the book, the author and only now do I realize it was part of a series of books, and yet I have never forgotten the story. I think for me the most powerful part is how limited humans are relative to the Tryl (a species on Earth that evolves to an intelligence and grace greater than humans 1 billion years after we kill ourselves off) ...             The Last Open Road39 reviews B. S. Levy Think Fast Ink, 1994 More about author Burt Levy Burt's writing is magical. Do you want to know more about the marketing of this book? Here's what I wrote about Burt in my book, Book Marketing DeMystified: Enjoy Discovering the Optimal Way to Sell Your Self-Published Book, Practical advice from the inventor of print-on-demand (POD) publishing -- Burt S. levy, who wrote and self-published the acclaimed auto racing novel The Last Open Road ...             CREATURES OF FOREVER: LAST VAMPIRE #6 (HARDCOVER) (Last Vampire Series : No 6)57 reviews Pike Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 1996 Loved this series!!! I remember I first read this series in middle school at age 13. I am now finishing college and still am obsessed with this series. It was awesome writing and kept me on the edge of my seat to the very end. It had a great romance and stirred a fire in me. I couldn't put the books down. I recommend this series to any young readers and even the young at heart.             Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill Alone 1932-194042 reviews William Manchester Blackstone Audiobooks, 1990 Far better than one might think Okay, maybe that's an unfair title. But seriously, an eight year period, almost the entirety of which he was out of power and depressed, might not sound like a thrilling read, especially as fat a book as it is. But Manchester, who surely has not written the most scholarly biography, does have a way with words and full perspective of the man and the period, having lived through it himself ...             The Last Convertible41 reviews Anton Myrer Berkley, 1979 A gem of a book that shines through the years. I looked up this book because my dearly loved and tattered copy of the book I have read and reread over the years has finally gone missing, and I can treat myself to a crisp new copy to dive into again, read again, live again, love again. I read "The Last Convertible" for the first time probably 20 years ago and I can still recite quotes, or passages, at any time. This book stuck with me. ...             5 Novels : Alan Mendelsohn the Boy from Mars, Slaves of Spiegel, the Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death, ...61 reviews Daniel Manus Pinkwater, 2009 The master of bizarre young adult novels! To this day, I can not fathom the popularity of Harry Potter or the Chronicles of Narnia. Many might try to blame this on my age, or a lack of love for fantasy or adventure. The truth, however, is because I grew up reading books by authors like Daniel Pinkwater, and have since then passed up the painfully melodramatic in preference of the touchingly absurd. This collection of young adult ...             The Last Days of the Incas54 reviews Kim MacQuarrie Simon & Schuster, 2008 Well worth the read I found this to be an excellent read. Not at all what one expects from the bits and pieces we were "taught" in school. I had trouble putting it down as each new development keeps you riveted. I recommend it highly.             Reach for Tomorrow (One Last Wish)44 reviews Lurlene McDaniel, 2008 WoW.....greatest book! Ok.....i have read all of the One Last Wish books and this one by far is the greatest!! Katie and Josh's ending was fantastic...i think Lurlene McDaniel should write more of the OLW books about Katie and Josh's future together...and Lacey and Jeff and Meg and Morgan. The book does leave you at a loss with what happend to Meg and Morgan, Jeff and Lacey, Eric, and Chelsea..it would be great to ...             The Last Shot46 reviews Darcy Frey Houghton Mifflin, 1994 Great Book about basketball and the struggles I started reading this book on a monday morning and finished it that night. I couldnt stop reading and Darcy Frey kept me at the edge of my seat. I couldnt wait to see what would happen to the three other players featured in this book besides Stephon Marbury. I recommend this book to ANY basketball fan or anyone intrested in the struggles of lower income neighborhoods.             Last Lion : Winston Spencer Churchill Vol 1 Part II: Visions of Glory 1874-193241 reviews William Manchester Blackstone Audiobooks, 1990 Life of Churchill The finest biography of Churchill (and one of the best biographies of anyone else) ever written. Manchester is unequaled in providing a balanced, thorough and readable product. Only down side is that he died before completing the third and final book on Churchill.              search for books 1874-1932, 1932-1940, avocado, churchill, collector, comanche, convertible, creatures, cynthia, edition, forever, hardcover, herald, legends, mendelsohn, merlin, parker, really, sailors, slaves, snarkout, spencer, spiegel, stewart, tomorrow, trilogy, vampire, visions, whangdoodles, winston books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
