Bel Canto (P.S.)
Ann Patchett
Harper Perennial

Awesome! You won't be able to put it down!
This small book is a wonder - a beautiful character study and a story that grabs you from the first sentence. The author's attention to detail is wonderous, yet the story never bogs down. I loved it all, but must agree with some reviewers that the ending was a bit of ...

Caught Up
Mesmerizing, completely caught up in the lives of ALL the personalties in the story. A page turner to be sure and one I hated to end.

Ann Patchett
Harper Perennial
, 2007
....as compelling as her other work!
I still have a couple of disks to go, but am as entralled as ever with Ann Patchett's writing. Her descriptive powers are amazing and I have almost instant empathy with her characters. The only piece of hers I have not yet read or listened to is "What Now?" and I have ...

The Magician's Assistant
Ann Patchett
Harvest Books
, 1998
Great Story From Unlikely Scenerio
I absolutely devoured this book and already have plans to pick it up again. This is not a book for people that need a lot of action to keep their attention; most of the action in this story takes place through uncovering the past. However, with a plot that seems nearly ...
Animal Farm: Centennial Edition
George Orwell
Plume

Animal Farm is instructive for our presidential election.
2008 is the ideal time to apply the principles that we have learned from Animal Farm and apply them to November's 2008 Presidential election. Just as Napolean, the pig, instigated a rebellion against the owner of the farm (Jones) by talking about how great things will ...

This is a great book!!!
I saw the review written and I wanted to say that this is one of my favorite books. Obviously not every book is for every person, maybe the CD is not as good?! (I read the book - I am just posting so that people don't miss such a good book based on one person's bad ...

Ann Patchett
HarperPerennial
, 2005
Bestselling author and Orange Prize winner Ann Patchett's first work of non-fiction is a book about her long friendship with the critically acclaimed, and recently deceased author, Lucy Grealy. It is remarkable for me to remember now that I thought it would be possible to walk away from her, that she might have gone on living, but without me. I ...

Polar Express it isn't!
This is a book for the people who no longer hear the ring of the bell -- but if you're in that category (or are just generally fatigued by holiday cheer), then this is for you. The 18 short stories very in quality but, overall, they reflect bright writing about ...
