Camps

The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1)

Rick Riordan

Miramax, 2006

A Wow Story!
I am a senior citizen--a librarian--a woman-- who could not possibly be interested in the story of a 12-year-old boy whose ADHD behavior causes him to be moved from private school to private school or that he has momentary lapses when strange behavior takes over or ...

Rick Riordan

Hyperion Book CH, 2008

Percy's adventures continue at a frenetic pace!
I had purchased The Lightning Thief (1st book in the series of 4, so far...) for my 11 year old son who does NOT like to read silently, figuring that we could read it aloud together, and to try to get him interested in non-fiction. It also coincided with Greek ...

A Must-Read
I liked this book alot. I can't really describe it that well without giving it away but it's very good. It's well written and I like the approach John Boyne used on the subject. This book is also being turned into a movie coming out in the US in November 2008. So ...

The Gulag Archipelago Volume 1: An Experiment in Literary Investigation (P.S.)

Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2007

The best book I have read in years! A real eye-opener.
For any who have any nostalgia for the Soviet Union, this book should put it to rest. This book is hard to categorize; it is more than one man's opinion, but less than an objective history. It is, as Solzhenitsyn puts it, "an experiment in literary investigation": a ...
