Homeland (Forgotten Realms: The Dark Elf Trilogy, Book 1)

194 reviews
R. A. Salvatore

Wizards of the Coast, 2004

Welcome to the Underdark and the realm of the drow...
Salvatore grabbed our attention with the Icewind Dale trilogy, and one of the heroes of that unlikely group of friends was Drizzt Do'Urden, a drow (or dark elf, as they are often called). To our delight, Salvatore's next project, dubbed the Dark Elf trilogy, served as a prequel, to tell us about Drizzt's past, and to introduce us to the world of the drow. I cannot recall another author who so ...

HCI Teens, 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.

Dog Heaven

Blue Sky Press, 1995

Helped explain our dog's passing
This book was very appropriate for my 4 year old, colorful pictures, easy to understand ideas about what dog heaven is like. Very positive, but mentions that the dog will miss you and you will miss him, but he is having fun and will always love the child. It had me in tears and it allowed my son to be able to ask more specific questions after reading the book so he was able to understand the ...

Should Be Newberry Medal Book
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for not only an adventure but also an extremely well written story of life. I loved reading it. Every page either had me surprised or blown away. It feels like your actually there. This book sucks you in from the first couple words, and drops you off when you wish it hadn't! If you haven't read this book yet you are missing out. This book tells ...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

J. K. Rowling

Demco Media, 1998

Great start to an even better series
It feels so long ago that I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the first time. I can't remember exactly how I felt upon completion, but I must have loved it because I devoured the rest of the books--there were only three of them back then--in a matter of days. What I can remember is how agonizingly long the wait for the other books was, how I reread the first book when I was scared ...

SOUL FORGE, THE (Dragonlance Saga)

Margaret Weis

Wizards of the Coast, 1998

The Test is in this one! Have a seat.
Wow! 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 ...

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

2599 reviews
J. K. Rowling, 2008

An amazing novel
This is my favorite novel of the series so far. In his second year, Harry was able to overcome an incompetent professor to thwart Voldemort yet again. But this novel was even better. I never saw the ending coming. The relationship between Snape and Lupin caught me completely by surprise. And the incredible revelations about Harry's parents death add even more depth to Harry's third year. JK ...

Excellent, Motivational for all ages
This makes a great book. I gave one to a friend who's daughter is going to Kindergarten, I bought one for my little one and sent one to my brother who needed a little pick me up to get back on the right track. Its very motivational and I recommend it to every one of all ages.

Fancy Nancy (Spanish edition): Nancy la Elegante (Fancy Nancy)

Jane O'Connor

Rayo, 2008

I wish I had this book as a little girl!
I have a four-year-old daughter, and this is the perfect book (and series) for her and her age set. The girls can all relate to how fancy Nancy appears all the time, and I love all the great new vocabulary words my daughter has picked up from Nancy's "fancy" words. Great (and clever) illustrations, too. I now buy this book as a birthday gift for any of my daughter's friends who don't yet have it, ...

The Initiation: The Secret Circle Volume I

L. J. Smith

Harper, 1995

Love It!
I first read this book when I was 12. For some reason I was not able to get ahold of the next two books in the series. Well, the ending left me so curious to know what happened that I felt compelled (at the age of 24) to track down the next two books in the series to find out what happened. I have to say that I enjoyed reading it the second time as much as I enjoyed the first. The characters ...

Much better than "The Secret Garden"
This book reminds me a lot of "The Secret Garden" without being quite as preachy and overly descriptive. My two daughters absolutely love this book and consider it one of their favorites.

HCI, 1998

Warm and fuzzy
Most of the series of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' has the kind of warm and fuzzy story that many find endearing and sweet. They are not 'deep' most of the time, but do point to things beyond themselves; for my own use, I often find sermon illustrations and stories within the pages of volumes of Chicken Soup -- as chaplain at a retirement centre, many of the stories help people to recall happier ...

Bradley Trevor Greive

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2000

Fabulous photos
If you've got photographer friends, this book will be an inspiration for them. But the black and white photos also provide a great pick-me-up for anyone you know who's down in the dumps. The volume describes myriad ways in which we all may feel under the weather sometimes--all of them illustrated with fetching postures and facial expressions of a large group from the animal kingdom--polar ...

Magical ---- Literally! And this fourth book is a real treat!
The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches IV ISBN: 15754550658 Magical ---- Literally! I became intrigued by the phenomena of Ruin Mist awhile back, and this review is a long time readers perspective. In many respects, I'm probably the last person who would enjoy this book. I'm a cynic by nature, and my reading habits lean more toward more mature series and more literary works. Or at least ...

Tomorrow, When the War Began (The Tomorrow Series #1)

John Marsden

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2006

Fabulous
Ellie is so articulate, bright, and caring that she makes what would have been an average story into an amazing and believable account of eight young adults out to save their families and ultimately their homeland. Once I got used to the Australian vernacular, I read this book at an amazing pace because I simply couldn't put it down. I can't wait to hunt down the rest of this series.

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!

All-Of-A-Kind Family

Sydney Taylor

Listen & Live Audio, 2000

Early Jewish Reading
This book is the first chapter book to interest my six year old. The characters, five sisters, each have their own personalities which are drawn in detail and carried through all of their adventures. The stories are sweet, focusing on everyday life in a poor jewish family at the turn of the century in New York (on the lower east side). The traditions will be familiar to an educated jewish reader ...

Reagent Press, 2002

Great second part to an awesome quartet
The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches 2 is a wonderful book with an epic story and detailed environments. The author, Robert Stanek, describes the world of Ruin Mist with such detail that you can envision every place in the book easily, every character as if they were right in front of your, and every event as if they were unfolding right there before you. The book starts with the divided ...
