Raistlin fan or not this is a great book. I, of course like most of the people who read Dragonlance, like Raistlin but I am not a huge fan per say but I do find him interesting to read. A lot of my question were resolved here not all but many. Perhaps the best part about this book is that you get to witness the Test that Raistlin endured! You've heard about out it for a long time now and ...             The Count of Monte Cristo388 reviews Alexandre Dumas Regnery Pub Great copy of unabridged Count of Monte Cristo We only recently found out that all our copies of The Count of Monte Cristo were abridged. We checked this out of our local library and liked it so much we bought a copy for our home library. The type setting is very readable and best of all, it's not abridged. The story is a classic and a great read. I recommend it for everyone.             The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family211 reviews Harper Paperbacks, 1997 Oddly Comforting! I found this book so soothing. If you love the Simpsons, you will love this book. You can relive the most hilarious quotes of the series in the most convienient manner possible. No need to search through DVD's to hear Homer say, "It takes two to lie, Marge. One to lie, and one to listen." Instead, you can flip through this book and relive all your favorite moments. I read it over and over ...             Tryin' to Sleep in the Bed You Made223 reviews Donna Grant, Virginia DeBerry St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 Oh, my goodness!!! You will be addicted!!! I don't know that mere words can adequately articulate the genius of this book. I don't think I have ever read a book that kept my attention and called for me the way this one did. I also don't recall ever reading ahead just so I could know the outcome in a story, but I did with this one (only on one chapter). I did go back and read all of the chapter. :) The book draws you in and doesn't let ...             Katherine257 reviews Anya Seton Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 1985 Katherine is a multi-read through the years Read it first in high school English (1968) and still re-read it. Excellent Historical Fiction which will probably snag you on Anya Seton's writing. I recommend The Winthrop Woman as well. And Theodesia.             Martin the Warrior: A Novel of Redwall262 reviews Brian Jacques Demco Media, 1996 Swashbuckling legend Throughout the Redwall books Martin has always been not only the founder of Redwall but a veritable figure of legend. This book finally tells his story. Like the series, it's a grand ol' adventure. However, I felt this one packed the most emotion--I dare to call this a tragedy. If you can put up with that, this is a fantastic and passionate read.             Lonesome Dove : A Novel390 reviews Larry McMurtry Simon & Schuster, 2000 IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS ONE, YOU ARE MISSING A READING TREAT! This is one of those rather rare books that can be classified as a "cross over book." That is, you really need not be a fan of the Western genre to appreciate and enjoy reading it. I fall into that category. While I have certainly read Westerns from time to time, I do not particularly like them nor do I seek them out. This work is quite different though. I have to admit that I have actually ...             Waiting in Vain447 reviews Colin Channer One World/Ballantine, 1998 An Amazing Literary Journey That Took My Breath Away Colin Channer to me is like a modern day Picasso with a pen. His dialogue is compelling, soul-stirring and purposeful and his characters are engaging. You can almost close your eyes and imagine yourself seeing the story unfold as if you were a fly on the wall at a gallery in New York, a beach house in Jamaica, or the Streets of London. This is the mark of a truly great storyteller. Our main ...             Sailor Moon, Vol. 1199 reviews Naoko Takeuchi TokyoPop, 1998 Wow Okay, what hasn't been said about sailor moon. It's wonderful and happy and gives little girls the fleeting hope that one day a magical cat will show up and tell them they're a super hero (yes, I secretly hoped this and when I finally passed my 14th year, the year sailor moon becomes sailor moon, I was noticeably dissappointed). Yes, it's pathetic. However, I'm not really here to review. See, ...             Lover Awakened: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood228 reviews Signet, 2007 THIS SERIES IS BRILLIANT and SO INCREDIBLY SEXY STOP!!!! Do not pass up this series and go searching for something different!!!! You will be making a HUGE mistake!!!! J.R. Ward is brilliant! These books are the best paranormal romance novels I've ever read...and I've read a lot of romance novels! I've spent so long looking for a series like this. I read the second novel first, because that was all they had available in the bookstores at ...             A Time for Dancing: A Novel184 reviews Davida Wills Hurwin Little Brown & Co (Juv), 1995 nothing like a good book well any book that makes me cry I consider to be pretty good, and this book had me crying. It's a sad story, but it's beautifully written.             The Sunne In Splendour: A Novel of Richard III144 reviews Sharon Kay Penman St. Martin's Griffin, 2008 Bravo! I bought this book for my Kindle and am besotted with it. I read it then read it for the second time without pausing and am now more than half way through a third reading. It is intoxicating and addictive. The language is glorious, the ambience exact and the characters full bloodied and three dimensional. Ms Penman seems to have used Kendall as her primary source and what excellent use ...             Salamandastron: A Novel of Redwall136 reviews Brian Jacques Ace Books, 1994 Great! At one time, this was my favorite redwall book. It was also the first redwall book I read all of. In this book, the fearless badger lord Urthstripe the Strong leads his army of long patrol hares in a battle against the cruel Ferahgo the Assasin. Read this book, it's great!             The Little Prince191 reviews Antoine De Saint-Exupery Piccolo, 1982 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 ...             Last Days of Summer: A Novel146 reviews Steve Kluger, 2008 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 ...             My Soul to Keep140 reviews Tananarive Due Harpercollins, 1997 my soul to keep The book was delivered promptly, and the condition of the book was as described. Cover in good shape and no marks on the inside of the book--this last part is very, very important. PS: to Amazon.com--my REAL name is J C Cox--there are no Periods. J C Cox 10/30/08             The Lords of Discipline169 reviews Rosetta, 2003 Duty, Honor, Country The mark of a successful coming of age story is that you, the reader, can see yourself reflected in the protagonist. For me, this book worked very well. Will McLean, the main character and first-person narrator, a second generation Irish boy, son of a Marine, a mongrel outsider in the pedigreed Carolina Military Institute searches for himself, the man within the boy who is being molded by a ...             Diary of a Wimpy Kid170 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 ...             Bridge of Birds168 reviews Barry Hughart Legend, 1986 It's called Fantasy for a reason I first read this book about 20 years ago. I read the two reviews that gave it only one star because I was curious why their reaction was so different from mine. After reading the two reviews, I believe I understand the problem. It's called Fantasy for a reason. It's not Literature, and it's not a History of ancient china. Barry Hughart taught me that ancient wise men don't see ...             Second Helpings: A Novel194 reviews Megan McCafferty Topeka Bindery, 2003 Second Helpings is not another lame sequel I loved "Sloppy Firsts" but I think I like "Second Helpings" a tiny bit more. I think it has more happening in it and there's more going on. Usually when it comes to books and sequels, the second (or third, or fourth) is not as good as the first, but I think "Second Helpings" is one of those books that can stand on it's own. Even if you didn't read "Sloppy Firsts" I think you'd still like ...              search for books awakened, bridge, brotherhood, complete, count, cristo, dagger, dancing, discipline, dragonlance, family, favorite, helpings, katherine, little, lonesome, martin, prince, redwall, richard, sailor, salamandastron, second, simpsons, splendour, summer, tryin, waiting, warrior, wimpy books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
