I am never disappointed by a Weiner book, the ending was a bit cheesy but other than that I loved it.             A Lesson Before Dying (Oprah's Book Club)516 reviews Ernest J. Gaines Vintage, 1994 A Lesson Before Dying ~ Time and Place: 1940's in Bayonne Louisiana A young unintelligent black man named Jefferson, is present at a shop burglary of a white owned store. Two other black men and the white shop owner end up in a gun fight, and the three men end up dead. Jefferson is scared and confused as to what to do next.

I almost let the 169 single-star reviews cause me to skip this one. #11 was great! But enough folks pointed to Child's political insertions as the likely causes of the negative reviews to allow me to splurge on the $7.99. That, and I just don't want to miss reading one, nor read any out of sequence. (I still think he'll end up in bed with Neagley). So this is pre-reading; I'll edit it ...             Everything Is Illuminated: A Novel432 reviews Jonathan Safran Foer Harper Perennial, 2003 really good i had seen the movie a while back and all i remembered was that i didn't really like it, but after reading his second book extremely loud and incredibly close and absolutely loving it, i figured i would give this one a try. i was not disappointed. the way he writes is amazing and i loved loved loved this book. at first i found it a slightly hard read, but after the first couple chapters it got ...             The Time Traveler's Wife2229 reviews Audrey Niffenegger Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2004 A New Favorite and Classic Once I saw the movie previews I went right out and bought this book - - I could not put this book down; it would have been read in one sitting if I did not have to work at the time. Audrey Niffenegger has been added to one of my favorite authors. Before I go into further detail, I recommend that when you begin to read this book you have a box of tissues handy - not because it is sad (which it ...             A Scattered Life42 reviews, 2009 Wonderful, heartwarming story I really enjoyed this reading this book. It is a story of three women and how their lives interact. The writing was excellent, the story moved along at a good pace. The plot had some unexpected twists and the characters were wonderful; they were interesting and credible with their good and bad points and before long, I really cared what would happen to them. I recommend this book and will be ...             Distant Shores29 reviews Ballantine Books, 2002 First time reading Kristin Hannah and LOVE her! This is the first time I have read anything by this author. I have now purchased 3 more books by Hannah. I read Luanne Rice, Danielle Steel and Nicholas Sparks. I buy their books the day they hit the shelves. Since I was headed to the beach for a two week vacation and they had not come out with a new book I had to have something for the beach chair reading. I purchased Distant Shores. I now ...             The Lake Shore Limited60 reviews Knopf, 2010 Brilliant Work by an Excellent Writer In her latest book, Ms Miller continues to explore narrative form, each succeeding book of hers being deeper and richer than its predecessors. In the Lake Shore Limited, Ms Miller seems to deliberately challenge the reader by her narrative strategy. There will be readers (both new and old) who do not sufficiently trust the author to make it through to the end. The Lake Shore Limited is a ...             Kafka on the Shore210 reviews Vintage, 2005 Read AT LEAST 3 times! I won't bore you with the details that dozens of other reviews mention. Instead, if you are a fan of Murakami, read this book several times. Each time is a little different and you pick up on metaphors, symbols, and events that you might have missed the first or second time through. Even Murakami himself says to read multiple times (on his website). Highly recommended as an intelligent, ...             Truman325 reviews David McCullough Simon & Schuster, 1993 History comes alive! For a 992 page piece of nonfiction, there are times when this biography reads like a page turner. Because the late forties, early fifties is a time period all but ignored in most public school History classes I was ignorant of many aspects of the Truman presidency, and certainly about his life in general. This tome has cleared up that problem for me! McCullough is obviously a good writer and ...             On a Highland Shore32 reviews Pocket, 2007 Wonderfully captivating As a reader of historical novels which take place in Scotland, and I've read quite a few, this is one of the BEST. It is detailed and rich in history, much like Gabaldon's Outlander [[ASIN:0385319959 Outlander] and the characters are unforgettable. This is not a book for the faint hearted, as the scenes depicted can be brutal. Nor is it a predictible romance like most "highland romances" ...             Remember Me?: A Novel298 reviews Sophie Kinsella Dell, 2009 Exceeded my expectations for a fun, light, effortless read I loved the Undomestic Goddess, which had me reconsider my original dismissal of Sophie Kinsella (I didn't completely relate to the Shopaholic books). So I picked up Remember Me on a whim at an airport, and it stayed on the shelf for 3 months. I then proceeded to devour the entire book in 3 hours. I couldn't stop reading it. The story was brilliantly paced, perfectly silly, deliciously girly and ...             Stone Cold175 reviews David Baldacci Vision, 2008 (nose buried in book) I love Baldacci and I'm delighted to find his books at a price I can afford! I order a huge number of them! Fast delivery and "like new!". I'll shop here again!             The Brass Verdict248 reviews Michael Connelly Grand Central Publishing, 2009 Offers interesting insights into a lawyer's mind If you've read Michael Connelly's other mystery books, you'll understand the characters from previous novels. This is the first Michael Connelly book I've read and it didn't matter that I did not know the characters from his other books. You'll immediately think of the O.J. trial in LA. The opening line on page 3 is the book's theme: "Everybody lies. Cops lie. Lawyers lie. Witnesses lie. The ...             The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (Book 1)467 reviews Alexander McCall Smith Anchor, 2003 Spectacular I just joined a book club with some co-workers and this is the first book I read with them. I am not sure if I'd have picked this book up on my own, but ended up enjoying it quite a bit. However I liked it even more after the group was able to sit down and discuss it together. In a nutshell, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency is about a woman named Precious Ramotswe who lives in the African ...             Vanishing Act (The Sisterhood)33 reviews Fern Michaels Zebra, 2010 Vanishing Act I always enjoy the sisterhood books they are exciting and you never know what they are going to do next. All of the girls are great but Annie and Marla are a treat. I want to find me a Charles. BUY it             Sullivan's Island (Lowcountry Tales)176 reviews Dorothea Benton Frank Berkley Trade, 2004 Dot at her best! Sullivan's Island really moved me. I totally related to the characters. I savored each page. Dorothea Frank is an excellent author, you will not be disappointed. Makes me want to move there. Bravo!             One Day at a Time: A Novel40 reviews Danielle Steel Dell, 2010 Books Received this book & two others from same vendor. Books were in excellent condition and arrived in just a few days of ordering. I would purchase from this vendor again.             The Memory Keeper's Daughter982 reviews Kim Edwards Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006 the truth will set you free Dr. David Henry thrives on order and perfection.

No ...             Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History285 reviews Erik Larson Vintage, 2000 Larson Is a Master This is the third Larson book I have read and each has been excellent. Each deals with a scientific advance and rapid changes in America as the 20th century begins. As I read the book I began thinking of how far we have come in understanding weather. I read this book against the background of the New Orleans Super Bowl victory made me think of Katrina. I wondered if we really had improved that ...              search for books agency, before, daughter, deadliest, detective, distant, dying, everything, highland, history, hurricane, illuminated, island, keeper, ladies, lesson, limited, lowcountry, memory, nothing, reacher, remember, scattered, shores, sisterhood, sullivan, traveler, truman, vanishing, verdict books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
