A little book

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

I'm hooked!
I have read all four books in the series, so I chose to review the box-set to cover all of them. I am definitely not someone who normally reads this genre. I typically stick to historical fiction and mystery (Patricia Cornwell, Clive Cussler, etc). However, my ...

Outliers: The Story of Success

Malcolm Gladwell

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Thought provoking
It seemed Gladwell was writing about many of my friends and family. Although I believe that here is an author that is above average in writing ability and thinking ability, he writes so you can get the point he is making and still makes it very enjoyable. I really ...

New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Totally enthralled me
I haven't enjoyed a series of books since the Harry Potter series. Twilight series gave me joy in reading again. Blue Moon is the second in the Twilight series. I found it great reading and would recommend it to anyone. Makes me kind of wish I knew a vampire. yum ...

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

Fantastic reading
I had the most wonderful time reading this book. I have never been so obsessed with a series before. I carried it around like it was my own personal bible. The details are so descriptive so it's a lot easier to imagine the characters and their surroundings. From the ...

Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007

Exciting, engaging, and leaves you wanting more.
I really loved the Twilight saga... Although book 1 is probably my favorite, I definitely thought Eclipse was the next best book in the series when read (or listened to in my case since I bought all 4 audio books) from front cover to back. It really keeps you engaged ...

Cross Country (Alex Cross Novels)

James Patterson

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

HEART STOPPING!!!
Wow!!! I have been waiting patiently for James Patterson to write his next Alex Cross series and I can say it was worth the wait. I could not put this book down and I can't wait for the next one. I was very much surprise at the end when a certain villain showed up ...

The Host: A Novel

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

THIS IS NOT TWILIGHT!!
Don't get me wrong, I love the twilight series, even if i'm not crazy about the movie, but that's a whole other gripe. I put off reading "The Host" for a variety of reasons, most of them being the same i didn't read Twilight for over a year. I am not a huge sci-fi ...

Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion

Mark Cotta Vaz

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Must Have For Twilight Fans!
Ok ok, so I got sucked into the whole Twilight mania after reading page 1 of the first book. I totally admit it! But truly, this series is AMAZING! When I found out there was going to be a movie, and then found the movie companion book? I knew I had to have it. I ...

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Great end to a great saga, leaves you wanting more!
I really loved the Twilight saga... Book 1 is my favorite, book 3 my second, but Breaking Dawn (book 4) comes in a very close 3rd. I think the only mis-step in this book is in breaking away from the Bella's point-of-view (POV) in "Section 2" (which is written from ...

The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets: How to Keep Your Portfolio Up When the Market is Down (Little ...

Peter D. Schiff

Wiley, 2008

Gives insight and direction
Peter Schiff not only forecast, more than 2 1/2 years ago, what was coming that would shake up the corporate and personal economics of the US but has now come along with a little book of why's and what to do's Well written, easy to read and with focused ideas on how ...

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

Malcolm Gladwell

Back Bay Books, 2002

Give it a chance and it might change your life
This book could be life-changing if you apply a lot of it to your life. Some of it may seem a bit stretched, almost like a really good conspiracy theory, but I think if you have a little faith in it and give it a chance, that would tip things over. Useful for ...

The Brass Verdict: A Novel

Michael Connelly

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Worthy of a mystery fan's attention
This newest Michael Connelly leaves the murder in the background for much of the book while the legal thriller part comes to the foreground--a clever device that hooked me from the very start. And because cynical Mickey Haller is the first-person narrator, we travel ...

The Mysterious Benedict Society

Trenton Lee Stewart

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

Best Book EVER!
I loved this book! Such clever writing and you feel as if you're in the story! I would read this book over and over if I could! I think it's a little better then the second book!

Goodnight Bush: A Parody

Gan Golan, Erich Origen

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

A work of parodical genius
Wickedly insightful and delicious piece of parody. If you love "Goodnight Moon" and feel, well, less loving of the past eight years of the executive branch, then this is the book for you. Illustrated perfectly with new visual tidbits waiting to be identified even ...
