Strangers In Death
When I happened upon Naked In Death and finished, I was hooked. I immediately started to purchase all the books in order and could not stop.I did not think when I first read the synopsis of Naked In Death that I would be interested in a futuristic police/romance book ...

Dinner with a Perfect Stranger: An Invitation Worth Considering
David Gregory
WaterBrook Press, 2005
a thoughtful interaction with Jesus
I just finished this book and I must say I was surprised. It was very good. My initial worry was that it would be fluffy, but the portrait of Jesus struck the right balance between his being compassionate and winsome on the one hand, but far from passive or a push-over ...

Wayside School Boxed Set: Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger, Wayside School is Falling Down, Sideway ...
Louis Sachar
HarperTrophy, 1996
Great book for kids!
Here's my 9-year-old son's review:
I think this book is appropriate for kids, because it has funny stories about kids you don't see every day and kids who do strange but hilarious things. It's even more fun that the author uses himself as a character in the book - ...

The Stranger
Albert Camus
Vintage, 1989
American translation brings out stylistic subtleties
(This is a review of the Matthew Ward translation; black an dwhite cover)
This is a newish translation, done by an American rather than the British translation that had previously been the only English version of this French classic. It seems Camus was heavily ...

Your Body Belongs to You
Cornelia Maude Spelman
Albert Whitman & Company, 2000
Great for very young children
This book is the best one I found on this topic for very young and innocent children. My daughter scares very easily so I needed something that would not scare her but help her understand she needs to keep her privates covered. This helped but we still have occasions ...

One Bite With A Stranger (The Others, Book 6)
Christine Warren
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008
Great book. I'm glad it's been expanded.
I loved this story when I originally read it as Fantasy Fixed. The expanded version is much better.
Personally, I appreciate the opportunity to buy the complete "Others" series. I missed some of them when they were only available at Ellora's Cave.
I will happily ...

Stranger in Paradise (Jesse Stone Novels)
Robert B. Parker
Putnam Adult, 2008
Love Jesse...Hate Jenn
I love this Jesse Sone novel. If you like Jesse you will like this book. It is more of the "same".
That being said...
I am sick of Jenn. Enough of her already! Get over her!
Enough drinking for Jesse. That is getting old.
I enjoy reading all of the Jesse Stone ...

Stranger in a Strange Land
Robert A. Heinlein
Ace Trade, 1991
Mindblowing, if you can grok it.
This novel is an absolute masterpiece. As with any great Science Fiction [this is the rare hard fiction variety], paradigms dissolve to explore humanity, spirituality and other topics on levels normally taboo to mainstream minds. This novel may be read on a multitude ...

The Stranger
Chris Van Allsburg
Houghton Mifflin, 1986
WHAT A FASCINATING WORK!
Other reviewers have used the word "strange" to discribe this work. I think the words "haunting" and "mysterious," probably hit closer to the mark. At least they do for me. This is one of those works that will certainly make you think. More importantly, it will ...
