The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 2)

Rick Riordan

Miramax, 2007

A new kind of fantasy hero
I love the Greek Mythology It's a great change from fairy stories. Its a different kind of magic. I have read all the books in this series except the 4th book I am still getting to that one. I love how the main character is not Hercules. Percy Jackson is a new kind of ...

Being Dead Is No Excuse: The Official Southern Ladies Guide To Hosting the Perfect Funeral

Gayden Metcalfe

Miramax, 2005

Wonderful
This is one of the best books I have ever read. Being from Alabama I know that what she says is absolutely true!

The Arctic Incident (Artemis Fowl, Book 2)

Eoin Colfer

Miramax, 2004

Another Excellent Artemis Fowl
Purchased the Audio CDs for travel, and just like Book 1, Nathaniel Parker does an excellent job in narrating. If you enjoy Jim Dale (Harry Potter Series), you'll enjoy Nathaniel Park too. Book 1 picks right up with a ton of adventure and suspense. Like every ...

The Night Watch (Watch, Book 1)

Sergei Lukyanenko

Miramax, 2006

My 100-word book review
Night Watch has some terrific and quirky ideas. A story of Light and Dark magicians vying with one another in post-Soviet Moscow, this has a great deal of complexity and a lack of obvious stereotypes. This is a world where vampires are not monsters but neighbours, and ...

The Lost Colony (Artemis Fowl, Book 5)

Eoin Colfer

Miramax, 2006

Kids love the book!
My kids love this book series. They even talked me into reading it! Great read!!

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

Rick Riordan

Miramax, 2006

interesting!
This book was for my ten year old son, who read it in two days and said it was very good. I have not read it myself.

Big Russ and Me: Father and Son: Lessons of Life

Wonderful memoir and life lessons
Written with love by a son and father himself, Tim shows us that love is what makes you the man you become

Artemis Fowl Book 1

Eoin Colfer

Miramax, 2006

A Juvenile James Bond in Fairy Land
Think of a juvenile James Bond with an IQ beyond Einstein's. Then throw him in a world of technologically superior fairies, and the fun can begin. And this is really what Artemis Fowl is about, first and foremost: FUN. Some might say it reverts too easily to ...

The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3)

Rick Riordan

Miramax, 2007

The Titan's Curse
I love the Greek Mythology It's a great change from fairy stories. Its a different kind of magic. I have read all the books in this series except the 4th book I am still getting to that one. I love how the main character is not Hercules. Percy Jackson is a new kind of ...

The Day Watch (Watch, Book 2)

Sergei Lukyanenko

Miramax, 2007

Day Watch
As with Twilight Watch, this is an excellent book to own and read. My Wife, ReynaVoop recommended this as well as Twilight watch, and she's never been wrong about the quality of the books.

Bartimaeus Trilogy Boxed Set, The

Jonathan Stroud

Miramax, 2006

In this gown-up's opinion: The Best
I, like the rest of the known universe, started by reading the Harry Potter books. When I was done, well, frankly, in the gaps between #'s 6 & 7, I started looking around for other similar items. I was looking for interesting story-telling without too much of a ...

My Forbidden Face: Growing Up Under the Taliban: A Young Woman's Story

Latifa

Miramax, 2003

My Forbidden Face : Growing Up Under the Taliban - A Young Woman's Story
My Forbidden Face : Growing Up Under the Taliban - A Young Woman's Story, is a firsthand account of a young girl under the Taliban. The Book begins as 16 year old Latifa, and ends when she is twenty one. I thought this book was very well written, and very enjoyable. I ...

The Twilight Watch (Watch, Book 3)

Sergei Lukyanenko

Miramax, 2007

Twilight Watch
This is an excellently written book, and the Russian/English Translator has done a great job with it. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a great book to read. My wife, ReynaVoop turned me on to this series, and as always, she was right about this book.

Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail (Oprah's Book Club)

Malika Oufkir, Ros Schwartz

Miramax, 2002

Haunting, Beautiful, Courageous!
I thoroughly enjoyed Stolen Lives. The ordeal Malika Oufkir and her family suffered is astonishing. It really pained me to read through her true accounts of riches to less-than-rags. The Oufkirs were fortunate and strong to have survived through it all. I felt that ...

Golem's Eye, The (Bartimaeus Trilogy)

Jonathan Stroud

Miramax, 2006

Great Book and Series
This was an excellent book, as was the whole series. I just came on to look for more Jonathan Stroud books and decided to give my first book review! I love Bartimaeus and all the sarcasm. Give it a try if you haven't already.
