Daughter

Karin Slaughter

Delacorte Press, 2008

Fractured
This book was a great read, and a much needed change in characters. Although her other books started out interesting the storyline had become too depressing to enjoy. I really enjoyed this book and the writing style. I was entertained to the point I couldn't put it ...

Wild Swans : Three Daughters of China

Jung Chang

Touchstone, 2003

This book will last for many generations to come
I won this great book when I was 18 years old. Until today, after almost two decades, I can still remember the story very well. Every page in this book is so alive with senses! I could really see the transitional period from one generation to the next; from the ...

The Tempest (Folger Shakespeare Library)

William Shakespeare

Washington Square Press, 2004

"Come, kiss the book!"
As Shakespeare's final play, The Tempest is appropriately a culmination of his motifs and themes amassed beforehand in previous work. You have the jester, the underhanded political aspirants, the outcast, the young naive fools hopelessly in lust, and the omniscient ...

The Memory Keeper's Daughter

Kim Edwards

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006

Absolutely loved this book!
Well I'm shocked at how many have rated this book poorly and goes to show everyone has different likes in what they read. I have not been so interested in a book in so long. I could not put this down and became incredibly enthralled with each of the characters ... ...

Certain Girls: A Novel

Jennifer Weiner

Atria, 2008

Good, hated the end
I liked this book, it consumed me for 2 days until I was finished. I did however HATE the end and subsequently threw it on the floor when I finished it like a spoiled brat. I do not want to be sad when I finish a good book.

Wonderful and Informative Guide for Fathers. Buy it!

To Kill a Mockingbird

Harper Lee

Grand Central Publishing, 1988

Everyone's Favorite . . .
I honestly have no idea how many times I have read this book. I read it first as an assignment in the eighth grade; most recently, at the age of 41, I read it aloud to three of my children. As with the more recent readings that I recall, I choked up a bit at the end ...

Tim Russert

Tim Russert was a very special man.
Tim Russert was a very humble, everyday man who serves as a role model for young men in his professional and personal life. Great book.

Know Your Power: A Message to America's Daughters

Nancy Pelosi, Amy Hill Hearth

Doubleday, 2008

Makes a good fuel source.

Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of ...

Rosalind Wiseman

Three Rivers Press, 2002

Enlightening for Dad
Simply put, I found the book to far exceed my expectations for it. As a male, the author's insights into girls' social roles and interactions were a huge eye-opener. And as the father of three girls, I appreciate all the examples of specific situations girls may find ...

The Garden of Last Days: A Novel

Andre Dubus III

I love this book
This book is a very good read! I love how it is written; each chapter in the book is from someone else's perspective on what is going on in the story. It is very interesting and hard to put down.
