Woman

Jeannette Walls

Scribner, 2006

Five stars: An inspirational true story
An amazing story of courage, confidence, and most of all, love. The tales from Jeannette's crazy childhood are, at times, unbelievable. There were moments when I wanted to scream through the pages of the book at her parents, and even at Jeannette herself. Her parents ...

Are You There, Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea

Chelsea Handler

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008

Funniest Book EVER
In a world of chaos, this book provides fabulous comic relief. I don't watch Chelsea's show and this was the first book I read that she wrote. I actually fell of the couch reading it. I am passing it along to each of my friends so that they can enjoy Chelsea's witty ...

A Thousand Splendid Suns

Khaled Hosseini

Riverhead, 2007

Deep, but easy read
I loved this book! I'm a slow reader and I was so engrossed in the story, I finished it in five days! When you're staying up all night reading, you know it's a good book! I was so moved by the story, I bought The Kite Runner afterwards. This book really gives us a ...

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time

Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Engaging inspirational story
This is one of the most interesting, engaging books I've ever read. One must enthusiastically support the heroes of the story for doing what's right and helping their fellow human beings. I disagree with the main hero politically but strongly support his efforts and ...

The Lace Reader: A Novel

William Morrow, 2008

It's already a best seller!
This book is already a best seller and pretty much doesn't need more reviews. It's a very interesting read. It has suspense, thrills, humor, twists and turns. I highly recommend this book and honestly it would be hard for someone to not like it. I really dont get the ...

Loving Frank: A Novel

Nancy Horan

Ballantine Books, 2008

Loving Frank is a book to love
This book is incredible! The research it took writer Nancy Horan before writing this book is immense. The detail, discriptions, observations and love of Frank resonates on many levels in this truly great book. It is a tragic and wonderful love story and an important ...

My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands

Chelsea Handler

Bloomsbury USA, 2005

Really funny
It isn't often that I find a book that makes me laugh so much that I couldn't take it anywhere. I also felt obligated to read parts of it aloud to anyone in my family who was nearby. I read the one-star reviews and can only conclude that they actually want to read ...

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia

Elizabeth Gilbert

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

If you didn't like it, you didn't get it.
Several people I know have shared with me that they saw Gilbert as self-centered when they read this book. To them and others who feel this way, I must make the following points. First of all, you are reading a book specifically about a woman finding herself - do you ...

The Beach House

Jane Green

Viking Adult, 2008

The Beach House--by Jane Green
An enjoyable summer read. Interesting characters that come together in a variety of ways. This book makes anyone who enjoys the summer by the sea want to go to Nantucket, especially if you know about it or have ever been there before.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows

The Dial Press, 2008

Utterly Charming -- I wish it were longer!
After reading a sample, I had this book delivered to my Kindle last Saturday when I was on vacation. I was immediately enthralled and the book was my constant companion all week during my commute to and from work on the train. Finally, I just curled up today on a ...

Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel

Lauren Weisberger

Simon & Schuster, 2008

Loved it!
I had a hard time getting into the book at first, but once I got started I loved it. I would like to read a 10 years later book to update us how these characters lives moved on and changed.

Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)

Janet Evanovich

St. Martin's Press, 2008

No disappointments here
Janet Evanovich continues to produce a fun and lively tale of the mishaps of Stephanie Plum. One would think that by the 14th installment, the story lines would get a little stale, but there are no disappointments with this rolicking tale. Evanovich continues to ...
