Fairy Tales Every Child Should Know Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is collection of well known fairy tales by Grimm's and others, with an introductory on the history and importance of fairy tales for children. Most of them would benefit from illustrations, but if you just want the text, it's fine. Since I plan on handmaking a picture-book for my nieces, it suits...

The Witching Hour: A Magical Compendium Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The essays in this text range in quality and depth - but overall the authors demonstrate how Rowling's saga elucidates ordinary human psychology, teaching/learning, and everyday experience. Harry isn't just for kids - his world is applicable to society. He's Huck Finn for the 21st century & the authors...

Treasure Island (Qualitas Classics) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Treasure Island is perhaps THE classic pirate's tale. Robert Louis Stevenson, the author, created a rich story of adventure and treachery on the high seas all seen through the eyes of a boy named Jim Hawkins.

Asperger Syndrome, the Universe and Everything Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I read this book in one sitting, and enjoyed every moment of it. One thing I am sure of is that, when the time comes comes to have "The Talk" with my son, when he expresses an interest in knowing what makes him (and me) so different from other people, this will be one of the first resources to which...

The Writer's Guide to Fantasy Literature: From Dragon's Lair to Hero's Quest Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was expecting much more of a nuts and bolts book on writing fantasy, but a lot of the material in the book seemed targeted toward having a better appreciation of fantasy or what's required to write it, rather than the actual mechanics of writing. I enjoyed reading the book anyway, but it was not entirely...

Barry Trotter and the Unnecessary Sequel: The Book Nobody Has Been Waiting For (Gollancz Sf S.) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This parody is much more than a parody. At one point near the middle of the story the plot (if one can discern one) noticeably changes from simple random comedic parody to an independent commentary on prejudice and society which is more hard hitting than either the original of which this a parody or...

Everyday Italian: 125 Simple and Delicious Recipes Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have been a big fan of the show since the beginning. This book is a blessing. For a long time I would have to hunt down the recopies on the food network website, print them, lose half of them, etc. This way I have it all in a beautiful glossy hard cover book, written with warmth, personal stories and...

Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I started reading this series after I heard a rave review on NPR during their "Guilty Pleasures" segment. The middle-aged gentleman described Twilight with such enthusiasm that I couldn't resist temptation. I bought the four-book set and settled in for a long weekend of reading. Three days and 2400 pages...

Triumph O/Imag: Jk Rowling (OA) (Overcoming Adversity) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I feel as though this book could have given more information about JK Rowling. Only about two of the chapters were about her life in general, the rest of the book was basically about the Harry Potter series and the fame the books are reciving. These other chapters really are of no use to people who want...

The Bartimaeus Trilogy Boxed Set Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Note: Potential spoiler warning in my descriptions of the books.You know, it really is hard to find well-written, well-characterized, well-plotted, witty books nowadays. Surprisingly hard. But I finished the Bartimaeus Trilogy a few months ago, and not only has it got all of the above characteristics,...

The Kane Chronicles, Book Two: The Throne of Fire Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)First off, let me say that this is no Percy Jackson, in case you're going into this with vaulted expectations. However, these books do have their place, but the pacing is slower, the back stories a bit more longwinded (particularly in the first book in this series), yet the characters in both Percy and...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The mysterious powers of the legendary Red King have been passed down through his descendants. No one has been born with all of the Red King's powers; however, one or two of the powers (A.K.A. "gifts" and "endowments") turn up unexpectedly in someone who has no idea where they came from.
