A great resource for college students
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association Currently, I am taking a course entitled "Introduction to Research in Healthcare" as a prerequisite for my radiography major. This particular manual, though not necessarily required for the course, is extremely helpful as I am in the process of putting together a literature review for the course, using the APA style format as a ...

Monster

Walter Dean Myers

Amistad, 2001

From a Teacher/ School Librarian's perspective...
"Monster" was an outstanding book and should be read by any child that is heading in the wrong direction. Over the years, there were so many students I could have recommended this book to. This story is about a black teen and the inner city, but please do not feel this book could not help a child in the suburbs or Asian/Hispanic/White teens. The main focus of this book is to talk about the ...

Three Rivers Press, 2003

"Exellent read"
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks is amazing. It has humor, but is totally serious the entire length of the book. I feel that if a Zombie Outbreak happens anytime soon I will be better prepared having read mentioned book. A must for Zombie, Horror, and Survival fanatics!!!

The Monster of Florence

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

The Search for the Truth
I visited Florence three months ago and was ignorant of these atrocious crimes committed in the beautiful hillsides surrounding this incredible city. Traveling through Italy, I was unaware of the incompetence and corruption of many of the individuals in positions of authority. I commend Spezi and Preston for publishing this tale of horror. I appreciated Spezi's dedication to solving this ...

Arghhh, Me Maties!
Pirates being the chosen of the Spaghetti Monster. Recommended by a friend who's probably as twisted as I am. Very entertaining book! As you read it you actually begin to see the author's logic. Just plain fun! I did not like how the book ended, but I so thoroughly enjoyed the rest of it that I gave it 5 stars. And by the way..... I'm NOT an athiest. xox MEF

The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 2)

Rick Riordan

Miramax, 2007

Best Series for my 10 year old
My 10 year old has so enjoyed these books. They are his favorites. He has flown through the published ones and is now having to wait for the next. This is the first time he has ever been excited about reading and I have found him reading late when he should be in bed and reading first thing in the morning. He finally caught the reading bug!

Frankenstein (Signet Classics)

Mary Shelley

Signet Classics, 2000

You've seen Karloff, now read the original
Once you read Shelley's classic you're going to scratch your head and wonder: Is this really the book that gave us the Karloff movie? Not to mention Herman Munster and Frankenberry. For over a century and half people have been cannibalizing this book for ideas, movies, other books, and products of every size, shape and type that our modern concept of Frankenstein holds little to no resemblence to ...

Invisible Monsters

Chuck Palahniuk

W. W. Norton & Company, 1999

GREAT
I'm studying to be a Secondary English teacher and hope to use this book along with the first "Persepolis" in my classes. Satrapi illustrates her life in a charming and hilarious way, guaranteed to grab many types of readers and learners. After reading her graphic memoirs I have a better idea of what life in Iran for women is like as well as a thirst for more novels like this.

Beowulf (Signet Classics)
Anonymous

Signet Classics, 2008

The epic poem Beowulf is the earliest extant poem in a modern European language— reflecting a feudal, newly Christian world of heroes and monsters, blood and victory, life and death. Its beauty, power, and artistry have kept it alive for more than thirteen centuries.

Goodnight Goon: A Petrifying Parody

3 reviews

Putnam Juvenile, 2008

Boo! Who knew?
This book is so very awesome and I am so NOT very awesome with written reviews. But, nonetheless, I will try because this little book needs to be out there and READ. First and foremost - I simply love Halloween and am always on the hunt for good Halloween books. This book did not disappoint. The illustrations are excellent and the rhyme is the same cadence as with Goodnight, Moon. Adults ...

Scholastic Press, 2008

One if by land, two if by sea
"Suspended under a twilight canopy We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us" (The Fifth Dimension - Up, Up and Away") NOW we're talking! The fifth book in the Land of Elyon series is by far the best with regards to plot, adventure and characterization. It's also steeped in religious imagery, as the young heroine receives inspiration and guidance from Elyon (Good) while being ...

Golden Books, 2004

Fun Book for Pre-Schoolers
I used to read this book to my own children and bought this copy for my grandchildren. The book is still as much fun for the grandchildren as it was for my children -- and the best part is I get to watch my children enjoy reading it to their children! It means they have fond memories of me reading to them.

Monsterology: The Complete Book of Monstrous Creatures (Ologies)

Ernest Dr Drake

Candlewick, 2008

A "must-have" for any fantasy buff's private collection
The latest in the popular "ology" series, Monsterology: The Complete Book of Monstrous Beasts is as beautiful and elaborate as its many companion volumes. Featuring writings on fantastic beasts from griffons and hippogriffs to phoenixes, the pegasus, unicorns, kraken, sphinx, and much more (but not dragons - they're covered in a different book!), Monsterology reads a bit like a nineteenth century ...

Frankenstein (Penguin Classics)

Mary Shelley

Penguin Classics, 2003

4-1/2 stars for a classic the movies messed up
Did the people who made the Frankenstein movie even read this book? All of the things that I associated with Frankenstein are creations of the movie alone. No Igor, no lightning striking the body, no grave-robbing (not directly referred to anyway), no mountain laboratory, no villagers attacking the castle to burn it to the ground. Just a young college student seized with a fever to see what he is ...

The Best Halloween book for preschoolers out there!
Big Pumpkin is so Big in our house, it's read all the time...Oh and our son loves it too! Once my son (4 years old) discovered and fell in love with Big Pumpkin it didn't matter if it was Halloween or not. The story is nothing short of hilarious, the illustrations could not be better suited and truly compliment this book where so many others fall short. My husband and I get such a kick out of ...
