Thank you for sharing your ...             Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban2598 reviews J.K. Rowling National Braille Press, Inc., 2000 The series truly begins. I love Prisoner of Azkaban. I think that this was the novel that really hooked me into the series. I have a hard time writing a literary review of any of the Rowling novels mainly because I do not feel like I'm reading a novel when I read these books, I feel like I'm on vacation. I'm transported into another world and forget to look at the subtext or deeply analyze anything that the writer is ...             Phantom366 reviews Susan Kay Delacorte Press, 1991 I've read it 10 or more times This is one of my top ten most favorite books. I read it for the very first time in junior high school and let a friend borrow it but never got it back. A few years later I went to buy another copy and to my horror it was out of print! I searched online for about a week and managed to find a used copy for about double the face value. I gladly paid the money and have read it about every year or so ...             Seabiscuit: An American Legend (G K Hall Large Print Nonfiction Series)636 reviews Laura Hillenbrand Thorndike Press, 2001 Seabiscuit: An American Legend I saw both flims the original with Shirley Temple/Lon McAllister also the newer version both were great So the the book was a must have also to learn what had happen to rest of the story(the horse/the people)             Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)5175 reviews J.

JB             Ella Enchanted1076 reviews Gail Carson Levine Thorndike Press, 2000 Cinderella Who? by Sara Martinez Many young girls dream of having a fairy tale life just like the ones that appear in Disney movies such as Cinderella, but what happens when these girls grow into young ladies and expect a little more than your usual fairy tale? In her novel Ella Enchanted, Gail Carson Levine adds a whole new twist to the familiar story of Cinderella. With the use of point of view, characterizations and themes, ...             Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone5424 reviews J. K. Rowling Large Print Press, 2003 First step in a long, exciting journey... Let me start like this.. I was never into Harry Potter. Well, at least not like I am now. I was a fan of the movies but that was about it. Then I was told to read the books, I figured, what the hell. So I started with Half Blood Prince and then Deathly Hollows. Wow. If I read pretty much the last 1/4 of this series and got so sucked into it, I owed it to myself to take the whole trip through this ...             The Prophet262 reviews Kahlil Gibran Phoenix Press, 1991 Eight Decades Later: Still Relevant, Insightful and Eloquent These days, Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet" often gets dismissed as "hippie" literature. Yet, this book had been a bestseller LONG before the 1960s. Originally published in 1923, it almost instantly became a hit and even did well through the Great Depression. Today, Gibran's claim to fame is being the third best-selling poet of our time, behind Shakespeare and Lao Tzu... and pretty much entirely ...             Katherine251 reviews Anya Seton Chicago Review Press, 2004 Favorite Book This is one of my favorite books of all time. This was the book that got be hooked on historical fiction, and although the cover (imo) does the book an injustice (making the novel look old and boring), this is a wonderful read. Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt are flesh-and-blood characters, leaping off the page to bring you along in a 14th century adventure. If you have any interest in ...             Elder Rage, or Take My Father... Please!: How to Survive Caring for Aging Parents276 reviews Jacqueline Marcell Impressive Press, 2001 Thank you for a WONDERFUL book. Both entertaining AND full of valuable information. I wish to extend a huge thank you to Jacqueline for writing this book! My mother-in-law had been diagnosed with dementia and had progressed to point where we felt it was no longer safe to allow her to continue to live alone. Our problem was that she was fighting us "tooth and nail" at every turn. She did not realize the scope of her problem. She felt she merely could not remember things once ...             The House of the Scorpion299 reviews Nancy Farmer Thorndike Press, 2005 Amazing book for even the most conservative readers This book is simply amazing--fluidly well told, with none of the typical "coming of age" tawdry sexualization, no offensive language, just an interesting take on contemporary issues. The realistic characters and well-paced story make this book worthy of all the awards it garnered. Buy your kid this book--then read it yourself!             Lucky Man212 reviews Michael J. Fox Ebury Press, 2003 A thought-provoking intimate account I was amazed at what an excellent writer Michael J. Fox is -- his story was candidly written with insightful accounts of his incredible journey. I was also impressed that the proceeds from the book all go to research for a cure for Parkinson's disease. Way to go, Michael!             Truman279 reviews David G McCullough Easton Press, 1994 You Have To Read THIS Book! This is quite possibly one of the best books I've ever read. And I do my fair share of reading. Don't let the size of the book scare you either. Its worth putting the time into. David McCullough writes in a readable manner. None of that academic reading stuff that gives you headaches. Listen, if you are even considering buying it you probably already have a little interest in this topic. Do ...             Boy's Life261 reviews Robert R. McCammon Thorndike Press, 1992 Awsome Book! Robert McCammon really did an awsome job writing this book. It expresses everything in a young boy's life. The dissapointments such as: loosing a friend to a bullet, your dog dying, and having your dad layed off from work. On the other hand it also tells about great things such as: getting a new bike, catching a criminal, going to a circus, and many other things. I would highly recommend this ...             For Laci: A Mother's Story of Love, Loss, and Justice268 reviews Sharon Rocha Three Rivers Press, 2006 one of the best books I've ever read being a mother, my heart bleeds for Sharon...I cried through the whole story - that Scott deserves nothing less than eternal hell - he did it - there is no doubt - I just cannot believe the difference from "lover" to "murderer" - I've seen it, not the murderer part but know of hot/cold people - it boggles the mind that even when they(Laci's family) tried to extend sympathy to the Peterson family ...             Tryin' to Sleep in the Bed You Made222 reviews Virginia DeBerry St. Martin's Press, 1996 Loved it!! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you are looking for an entertaining, suspenseful, drama, this is a book for you. It was a page turner, sometimes hard to put down. Donna and Virginia, keep up the great work, and keep these type of novels coming.             The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches (Keeper Martin's Tales Series, Book 1)317 reviews Robert Stanek Reagent Press, 2002 Good But Continue on to the other books I first read The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches as a ninth grader and remember loving it. I then continued on to books 2, 3, and 4, which were excellent. I decided to re-read The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches books this summer since I found I had forgotten the majority of the story. After re-reading it now as a college freshman, I enjoyed it even more. Clearly it's a remarkable ...              search for books american, azkaban, caring, coalwood, enchanted, family, father, foster, goblet, justice, katherine, kingdoms, legend, mother, nonfiction, parents, phantom, please, potter, prisoner, prophet, puzzle, reaches, scorpion, seabiscuit, sequel, sorcerer, survive, things, truman books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
