Truly well written and fascinating.
I truly enjoyed this novel and could hardly put it down. It is very detailed and the characters are immensely ferocious.

Debunked!: Conspiracy Theories, Urban Legends, and Evil Plots of the 21st Century

Richard Roeper

Chicago Review Press, 2008

A Refreshing Island in an Ocean of Drivel
Roeper's "Debunked" is a witty, no-holds barred look at a few of the sacred cows of conspiracy theorists and believers in urban legends. Happily, he's an equal opportunity critic, skewering the icons of the left (Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah Winfrey) with as much verve ...

William Gurstelle

Chicago Review Press, 2001

Just Plain Fun
Being a parent and a science teacher, I really love this book. It takes me back to my younger years when it was fun to launch anything more than 10 feet and still have all of your hair intact. What fun this book is! Gurstelle is great!

Devil Water

Anya Seton

Chicago Review Press, 2007

Another great Seton novel..
Anya Seton's books never fail to impress me. She weaves stories that are intricate and beautifully written. Also, the research she has done to produce these novels is astonishing. This book is perhaps one of her best.

On Stage: Theater Games and Activities for Kids

Lisa Bany-Winters

Chicago Review Press, 1997

Great Mix of Activities
I love how all of the different skills are addressed in separate sections of the book. There are many, many games and tasks included in each so the variety never ends. I use this book as a warm up during the first couple of drama sessions and then as a filler when I ...

I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie

Pamela Des Barres

Chicago Review Press, 2005

Entertaining, fun, and informative!!
I got this book for Christmas from my mother, who knows that I have a great love for classic rock and roll. I couldn't wait to read it, and it did not disappoint in the least. This book wasn't a tell all, but a look into what it was like to be part of the "scene". ...

The Winthrop Woman: A Novel

Anya Seton

Chicago Review Press, 2006

A city on the hill?
This book is a fascinating take on the origins of colonial America. I normally do not read historical fiction set in the United States. I selected this book because of my admiration for Anya Seton's Katherine and Avalon. This heavily fact-centered novel starts out in ...
