Customer Review: With a unique style and fresh voice Mark Haddon has created a wonderfully memorable first novel. "The Curious Incident of The Dog In the Night-time" is told through the eyes of Christopher, a 15-year old autistic boy, and chronicles his search for the killer of his neighbor's dog. However, what... more info
Customer Review: Like Poe, strong roots in its Gothic horror era make this story too wordy to be read as a contemporary classic (contradiction in terms, I suppose), but the basic storyline does stand up over time. A basic story, by the way, which no movie version has yet successfully captured, not even Mary... more info
Customer Review: After having read through 2 of the Wayside School books, I was interested to see Sachar's writing style in a longer book. So, my son got Holes for Christmas, and I read it shortly after. :) I'd seen the movie a few years back without realizing it was based on an award winning book. It's always... more info
Customer Review: Monster, by Walter Dean Myers, is to say the least an interesting book. The stories protagonist, Steve, is put on trial for murder because he "aided in a robbery that led to the murder". The book is written mostly in a format for a movie, for Steve writes the movie script to help him cope with the... more info
Customer Review: Artemis Fowl and his great adventures, I won't spoil the plot, this review is about the CD's. They are packaged in a cardboard slip folder. No plastic jewel case here so treat with care. The book is very well written and narrated by Nathanial Parker who really puts you in the story with his... more info
Customer Review: Let me say this- I'm a sucker for mysteries, and for a time, Agatha Christie used to be one of my favorite writers. However, this doesn't seem like an Agatha Christie novel. It seems to be more along the lines of a Phillip Margolin- and yet he is able to do it more effectively. My issue with... more info
Customer Review: After reading one of Nora Roberts paranormal romances (Face the Fire) and being distinctly underwhelmed, I felt it was only fair to give her a chance to redeem herself with a crime story, which is more to my taste as reading matter. And I did enjoy this more, in that I was at least able to... more info
Customer Review: I've wanted to read THE KINGDOM KEEPERS for some time. I'd had it on my bookshelf -- waiting patiently to be read -- for about a year, and finally I picked it up and polished it off. I must say that I think I was a bit disappointed after I was finished. The story is interesting, and the characters... more info
Customer Review: Ms. Christie had a clean, crisp writing style that suits this genre very well. There are no flowery prose to be found in-between the covers of this mystery. It has been over 30 years since I read 'Murder on the Orient Express' while in high school and I still clearly remember the unusual outcome.... more info
Customer Review: I really struggled this season while shopping for a book to give as a gift to a 12-year old girl. A lot of books for the 9-12 crowd seemed geared toward the young end of the spectrum, but the books I looked at that are aimed at young adults seemed a little "too adult" for what I had in mind. This... more info
