The book is fairly short with short chapters. It is obviously written for adolescent readers, but can certainly be appreciated by adults as well. This is a very good first book for teens to learn about the Holocaust. It is written in the ...             The Little Prince190 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 ...             Bridge of Birds166 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 ...             Alanna566 reviews Tamora Pierce Oxford University Press, 1984 Life Changing at 12 When I first picked up this book, I was the typical bookworm. I knew every corner of my middle school's library. Most often, I'd find myself in the mythology section or classic plays. However, one day, I took a fateful journey into the fantasy section. I was 12 years old, timid and accepting of even the worst opinions of me. When I read it, I was enlightened. A whole five foot one, (four foot ...             Ina May's Guide to Childbirth200 reviews Ina May Gaskin Bantam, 2003 positive information don't read the crap that OB's and doctors are handing out telling women that if their labor doesn't fit nicely into their schedule and goes according to a generic time limit they'll have to have a c-section. giving birth is an empowering experience that can be ENJOYED and NOT FEARED. ina may helps inform you of the possibilities in childbirth so you can explore your options and also know what ...             The Count of Monte Cristo (Oxford World's Classics)382 reviews Alexandre Dumas père Oxford University Press, USA, 1998 The 2nd best book ever! except for the Bible, this is the best.

I knew next to nothing about Vince Lombardi, other than that he was an excellent football coach. Very glad I bought the book as this was a particularly engrossing biography. The author was very thorough in his research and traces Lombardi's life in detail for his full nearly 60 years. He provides a lot of detail on Lombardi's ...             Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul : 101 Stories of Life, Love and Learning (AUDIO CASSETTE)473 reviews Health Communications, 1997 A great gift! I bought this book as a gift for my 16yr old niece. The very next day, she told me how much she loved the book. She even cried reading it. I think it's nice to find reading materials that can move the minds and feelings of teenagers.             The Lords of Discipline168 reviews Pat Conroy Secker and Warburg, 1981 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 ...             The Photoshop Elements 5 Book for Digital Photographers101 reviews New Riders, 2008 Kelby is Kool I had Photoshop Elements for about a year - until this book I was unable to use it effectively.

I remember discussing several of the essays included in this collection, and being incredibly impressed with both the work and the author. The time, imagination, detail, obsession, intelligence, honesty and humble nature of both the essays and the essayist should at the very least inspire a ...             Dancing Barefoot: five short but true stories about life in the so-called space age118 reviews Wil Wheaton, Ben Claassen III Monolith Pr, 2003 MUST READ Whether you are a Star Trek Fan or not, this book is worth reading.

Enjoy it- I sure did!             Christy109 reviews St Martins Pr (a), 1995 Loved it! This is one of those classic novels that you could read again and again. I hadn't read it since high school twenty years ago and just re-read Christy last week. I like it even better now than I did then (and I loved it then, too). I would have loved to have had Catherine Marshall's version of a sequel (hopefully it would have consisted of a continuation of Neil & Christy's romance), but I ...             Wake Up, I'm Fat119 reviews Camryn Manheim Soundelux Audio Publishing, 1999 Wonderful book by a strong, intelligent, beautiful woman After reading the past reviews, I wonder if I'm the only man who read this book. The first thing that caught my eyes, I'll be honest, was the cover picture. Camryn is a gorgeous woman with very nice legs. She is also a person of deep character, who has persevered and triumphed despite the prejudices of our shallow society. She relates her struggles in a moving way, but avoids the whining, ...             Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses119 reviews Dorothy Richmond McGraw-Hill, 1996 Awesome Book !

Weir so thoroughly researches the profusion of biographic material available (besides Britain, courts throughout Europe had documention on the wives of Henry and him) that it is clear there is no need to fictionalise this fascinating story (you wouldn't even try to imagine it). And ...             The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work136 reviews Three Rivers Press, 2002 Genius in regards to relationships!
