Mort
Terry Pratchett
HarperTorch, 2001
Even better than the novel
I loved the novel and I think I like this play even more!
My year 12s are looking for a play to perform and I wasn't sure that this play would be suitable but I'm very pleased that it is. We only have 10 actors but I think with a combination of live action and ...

Smitten
Janet Evanovich
HarperTorch, 2006
Fun, fast read
This is not meant to be a believable situation...just plain fun and frolic. I smiled all the way through the book and gobbled it up in about 2 hours. With rain outside, a dog in my lap and a box of malted milk balls, life is good.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values
Robert M. Pirsig
HarperTorch, 2006
Couldn't put it down.
This was a thought provocing and very enjoyable read. Although it isn't "action packed" or anything, that isn't the point. The author's naration tells the tale of his philosophical journey cross country with his son on his motorcyle. Not only was this book ...

Excellent!
This is an extraordinary book, an excellent piece of work indeed, so amusing and full of details. And full of magic!! It's amazing to see from how many "near-death experiences" the two main characters get away hahahahhahahaha you can't help but laugh, it is very good. ...

The Light Fantastic
Terry Pratchett
HarperTorch, 2000
Even better than the previous one
I loved this book as much as I did The color of magic. Since these two, I started reading everything I can get from the author and never got disapointed.
Like the first one, it finds a way to write fantasy which can be read in various levels according to your age and ...

Shutter Island
Dennis Lehane
HarperTorch, 2004
Too Smart for My Own Good
I solved the anagram on page 205 and from that I predicted the entire last half of the story. LeHane should have hidden such a revelatory clue a little better. It is like a major spoiler right in the middle of the story, making the last half a bit of a chore instead of ...

The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan
Barbara J. Rolls, Robert A. Barnett
HarperTorch, 2003
Very useful
Much useful information about choosing food while on a diet.Did you know that 1/4 cup of raisins and 1 and 2/3 cups of grapes each have about 100 calories? Obviously the grapes are much more filling and satisfying.The book also includes diet samples.

Sacred
Dennis Lehane
HarperTorch, 1998
More twists, turns, and thrills than the best roller coaster
More twists, turns, and thrills than the best roller coaster
Dennis Lehane always writes a good mystery. Sacred is one of his best. Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro are pushed to the limit in this exciting page turner. From Boston to Florida they prowl for the ...

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett
HarperTorch, 2006
Armageddon Has Arrived....and it's Hilarious!
"God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, ...
