Andrew Doughty
Wizard Publications Inc.
, 2008
This is simply the best guidebook available!
I compared it with three other guidebooks, and this one is hands down by far the best. I also like his sense of humor, and his ability to give us foreigners a realistic taste of the local culture. It is down to earth, not superficial, and it must have been a lot of ...

Not Discworld, not humor, but pure Pratchett
In spite of being the best-selling living British author, and one of the most talented, most hoidy-toidy types pigeon-hole Terry Pratchett away in the ghetto called "fantasy humor". So a very large number of educated people have not even heard of him, let alone give ...

You do not find books like this any more. You can be a kid again in this book. You are pulled into every page. I have read all of Ted Bells books, but Nick of Time is so different you can't wait to turn the page.

Ever want to start reading a book the moment you finish it?
That's how I felt about this book. As I got to the last few pages, I purposely slowed down to savor the time I had left with these wonderful characters. A powerful mixture of pathos and humor, this story is revealed in a series of letters and correspondence. It's a ...

A Wonderful Classic
This book touched me as a young girl. I think I read it about ten times growing up. It is a wonderful story about courage, survival, isolation, and trust. It is an amazing adventure and I recommend it for all children. The book is deserving of awards but I would ...

Agatha Christie
St. Martin's Griffin
, 2004
My first Christie book...
and I'm no kid, believe me. I didn't think I'd like mystery, but this one makes me want to come back for more. It was assigned for my daughter's English class at school, so I picked it up and read it -- in one day. It kept me guessing and flipping back to find clues ...
