The White Tiger: A Novel (Man Booker Prize)
Aravind Adiga
Free Press
, 2008
a good read
Hearing on PBS that Aravind Adiga had won the Man Booker Prize for this his first novel, and that he was only the second person to win this prize for his first novel, I decided that this was a book to read. I assume you have almost made a similar decision but are ...
Harry, A History: The True Story of a Boy Wizard, His Fans, and Life Inside the Harry Potter Phenomenon
Melissa Anelli
Pocket
, 2008
Reading this was like sitting with an old friend....
and recalling that magical night in July of 2007, when all the speculation, theorizing hype had hit breaking point: the night of the book 7 release was a night few Potter fans will ever be able to forget. Melissa's view into the inner-workings of Potterdom is one ...
The Shack
William P. Young
Windblown Media
, 2008
An Open Invitation To Walk With God
I have loved the works of C. S. Lewis for most of my life. I consider his THE GREAT DIVORCE and THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA to be among the most important books ever written. But until I read THE SHACK, I would have had a hard time explaining "why" I feel so strongly ...
The ESV Study Bible
Crossway Bibles
, 2008
Excellent! The Best Study Bible Thus Far!
Since many wrote detailed reviews already, I just wanted to write a concise review for those who seek it. 1. The notes are incredible and Christocentric. The ESV Study Bible (ESB) is like a single volume commentary. But please keep in mind that ESB is: Reformed and ...

Roy Blount Jr.
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
, 2008
A joy for the word lover
One of my great pleasures is listening to "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" on NPR each week. Many of the panelists and guests are very clever and funny, but Roy Blount Jr. adds a deep gravitas to his humorous contributions. Much of that gravitas comes from his deep baritone ...

ABC3D Book
This book is amazing! Each page is clever and unique. We love it. Thank you.
The King James Bible (with book and chapter navigation)
Diana Mecum DianaDoesIt.com, 2008
This is the best of the KJVs!
When I first used my Kindle, I inadvertently downloaded the wrong KJV. It had no table of contents and to get to the New Testament I had to turn every single page. I wasn't through the first chapter in Genesis when I realized the futility of my task. I began a more ...
The Other Queen: A Novel
Philippa Gregory
Touchstone
, 2008
Three interesting historical figures, but one misstep after another.
Philippa Gregory has done it again-- she brings Tudor England to life once more, this time telling the opposite side of the story that occurred in her novel "The Virgin's Lover," that of Mary Stewart, Queen of Scotts. She paints the beautiful young queen as a ...
The Private Patient
P.D. James
Knopf
, 2008
46 Years And Counting....
In Cheverell Manor, an exclusive cosmetic surgery clinic on the remote Dorset moors, a patient has been murdered. Not just any patient: Rhoda Gradwyn was an investigative journalist, a purveyor of private secrets and sensational scandals for the "yellow" media. Anyone ...
Jesus Wants to Save Christians: A Manifesto for the Church in Exile
Rob Bell
,
Don Golden
Zondervan
, 2008
Blown away again!
Once again Rob Bell has rocked my world with his insights and wisdom. This book is challenging and controversial, but I feel it is a very necessary read for Christians in a nation with great power and responsibility in the world today. Bell faces the issue of ...
Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment
Deepak Chopra
HarperOne
, 2008
Christianity as a Path to Enlightenment
In his preface to Jesus, Chopra is very straightforward about his purpose in writing the book, saying "[there is] a Jesus left out of the New Testament - the enlightened Jesus. His absence, in my view, has profoundly crippled the Christian faith, for...making [Jesus] ...
I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell
Tucker Max
Citadel Press
, 2006
Brings back memories.
I thought the book was well written and bought back a lot of old memories :-)
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (Baby Board Books)
Child's Play International
, 2002
Lots of "hidden" value
At first glance, this book appears to be simply an illustration of a kids song. Some reviewers have complained that that's all there is..so why buy it. But actually, there is a lot more there if you look. First of all, while illustrated songs seem like an odd ...
Free to Be...You and Me (The 35th Anniversary Edition, Hardcover)
Marlo Thomas and Friends
Running Press Kids
, 2008
My childhood favorite is now my daughters' favorite
I'm convinced that I grew up to be a feminist, independent thinker, and lawyer - open to people from all backgrounds - because of Free to Be You and Me. The issues and songs and images are just as relevant today. It's fun for me to watch and hear the celebrities I grew ...
Remember Me?
Sophie Kinsella
Dial Press Trade Paperback
, 2008
loved it!
I absolutely adored this book and read it over and over again when I first purchased it. I'll admit I had low expectations but it is smart and quirky. There were a lot of moments where it made me "squee!" The amenesia storyline is just the kick the standard love ...
