Midnight Riot Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Rivers of London is the long-awaited original series from popular TV and tie-in writer Ben Aaronovitch. A darkly comedic police procedural, Rivers is a deliciously more-ish book that is nearly impossible to put down.The book (and presumably, the forthcoming series) features Peter Grant, a somewhat mediocre...

Switched (Trylle Trilogy, Book 1) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Hocking has an uncanny ability to write fascinating little stories that are compellingly addicting. Her books are not my typical reading fare - I tend more toward the adult mysteries and suspense type of thing - however ever since I picked up Hocking's My Blood Approves series, I've been strangely addicted...

The Hobbit or There and Back Again Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)[This is a review of the 70th Anniversary Edition, not so much of THE HOBBIT itself. I've reviewed the book proper elsewhere, and would rather focus on the actual edition itself.]THE HOBBIT is one of those few books that I have felt justified to buy multiple copies over the years. It is a book I have...

The Potter Quest Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book was written by, hands-down, the very best teacher that I have ever had, the kind of teacher who proves that you don't need to go to Hogwarts for a magical classroom. The author loves literature in a way that is consuming and exhilarating, and it came across in each and every class, each and...

Grammar for Middle School: A Sentence-Composing Approach--A Student Worktext Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Grammar for Middle School has worked quite well for my high school students.

The Beatrix Potter Knitting Book Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)First, let me say that I haven't looked at this book since the early 90s. It belongs to my mother, who lives in another state, and so I can't look through it again before reviewing.

The Lord of the Rings: 50th Anniversary, One Vol. Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)While the price of this book is steep, this is easily the best version of this book in print.

The Trouble with Harry Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I read the first 2 books in the Harry Potter series and then listened to Matthew Arnold's audio tapes (twice!) I found Arnold's series insightful and well researched. I realized in listening to this audio set that I need to be more critical of what I read, listen to, and watch on television. Matthew...

The Dictionary of Imaginary Places: The Newly Updated and Expanded Classic Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this book because I was intriqued by the concept. A book that catalogs all of the places mentioned in other books. What I got completely amazed me. Not only were the places cataloged and indexed by book and by place, but the descriptions were long, even better they included maps. The people...
