Wonderful story with beautiful illustrations.
This is a wonderful book for children and fun for grownups as well! It's the perfect story to read aloud. The story is exciting and the illustrations are beautiful with dramatic lighting . Kids will love identifying with the brave little scarecrow. We all love it.

Jayber Crow

Wendell Berry

Counterpoint, 2001

None better.
I used to read a lot of books and I never felt the need to quantify or compare one book to another. But when I finished Jayber Crow I knew that this was the best book I had ever read. As other reviews here will testify, it is astounding how Wendell Berry ...

Lakota Woman

Just read it!
The smartest, the bravest, crazy sexy book I've ever read about cancer! Kris Carr's book should be read by everyone - it does not matter if you are lucky one and do not have a cancer scare, read it. She did all work for us-very deep and serious researches especially ...

Both newcomers and old fans of the series will appreciate.

Still Life With Crows

Lincoln Child, Douglas Preston, 2003

could not put it down
I did like this book and tried to figure out the puzzle as I read. I wish the book would have been longer with more mystery that the authors are known for, but I still could not put it down. I love their work,and buy all their books.

A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire)

George R.R. Martin

Spectra, 2006

Like the novels, a review with a twist.....
I have to say this is the finest series I have ever read. For an intelligent, medevil soap opera it doesnt get any better. However...I am so beyond frustrated with the author. If he spent half the time he did writing in his "not a blog" or helping other authors, or ...

Hollywood Crows: A Novel

Joseph Wambaugh

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

Hilarious cop stories
"Hollywood Crows" is a terrific novel, with colorful characters and an endless supply of cops-and-robbers anecdotes, sometimes hilarious and sometimes tragic, but always fascinating. There's a plot too, but, really, who cares? It's the characters and the ...

A Cat Named Squeeky

Vic Reskovic

crow canyon publishing, 2007

Wonderful, touching, and sad....
I am an animal lover and specifically a cat lover, so this may be a /bit/ of a biased review. This book is an enjoyable, well written and fast read. Anyone who lives with cats will especially enjoy it, as it explains a non-pet person's adoption of and deep bonding ...

Excellent introduction to the concept of maps
This is a great book from the 'teaching the concept' point of view, but what it more it is beautiful (great art work) and sweet for little chidren, with each map introduced through teh eyes of an animal's travels.

The Crow: The Third Book of Pellinor (Pellinor Series)

Alison Croggon

Candlewick, 2008

Third book in a great series
This is the third book of an excellent four book fantasy series. Book publishers don't help their own sales by labeling books as for young adults because I am by no means a young adult and I can hardly put this series down. They are written in a female voice, are ...

The Strange Career of Jim Crow

C. Vann Woodward

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

Segregation: What It Was and What It Wasn't
C. Vann Woodward's The Strange Career of Jim Crow is not only a fine introduction to its topic -- the segregationist period in the South -- but one of the most significant and influential books of its time. Originally published in 1955 (by Oxford University Press), ...

Crow Killer: The Saga of Liver-Eating Johnson (Midland Book)

Raymond W. Thorp, Robert Bunker

Indiana University Press, 1983

Crow Killer
I have read many books and biographies about trapper and traders and this one although a fictional biography (hearsay and letters to the author) was fantastic; many true items; I'm sure. John Johnson - the main character; inspired the movie Jeremiah Johnson, that ...

In the Company of Crows and Ravens

John M. Marzluff, Tony Angell

Yale University Press, 2007

Those noisy neighbours
They lack the colour glories of parrots and lorikeets. They're not like the little tweetie birds of our childhood books. Probably the best known of them is Poe's bleak image - perched atop a skull croaking its dismal litany. Long before Poe, however, the corvids had ...
