>price: Zondervan Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A breath of fresh air but not enough...) ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I have read a fair amount of Christian fiction and have become quite weary of it. The books are usually poorly written with mediocre story lines and always come off as preachy. "Daisy Chain" was a breath of fresh air to Christian fiction. The book was written very well. The author crafted her words carefully and her descriptions were vivid. Jedd was a very likable and endearing hero. The author had the guts to address a sensitive topic and I loved how all of her characters had their doubts and imperfections. I only gave this book three stars for a couple of reasons. First off, I am a very avid reader. I usually devour a book within a few days. This book was hard for me to get into. It took me about a week to read it and I was bored at times. I'm not even sure if I will read the second one... The storyline plodded methodically along and I found it confusing when the book would randomly jump to 30 year old Jedd. I would have appreciated some kind of warning or transition that the book was going to a different time period. I loved Jedd and Sissy but I had a hard time with the adults in this book. ALL of them were completely dysfunctional and over-the-top. By the middle of the book I just wanted to scream, "Can we have one normal adult please?" I found it hard to connect with them. Overall, this book was very thought-provoking and well written albeit boring at times.』 (Stephen King, take note: here's writing to aspire to.) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Stephen King, take note: here's writing to aspire to. The richest, most effective prose takes you on a journey you'll not soon forget in this wonderful novel. Not a purple word in the bunch, not a meretricious line to be found, nary a letter out of place. Mary E. DeMuth is the Rembrandt of novelists. Characters and story so profound you'll wonder why the store bookshelves today are so filled with pulp. (And by the way, I'm not Christian or Catholic. I'm not another prattling zealot. Just an average reader.)』 (Book Review of Daisy Chain by Mary E. DeMuth) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『"Bright, engaging, often sad and heartbreaking - all woven together with the elements of Christian life. Don't miss out on this one!" Perhaps I loved this book because I live in the south. Perhaps I loved it because it provoked my memory to my early Christian walk. Perhaps I loved it because it just read like home to me. Whatever the reason, Mary E. DeMuth's `Daisy Chain` is forever etched into my memory as one of my favorite books. In the summer of his fourteenth year, Jed Pepper's best friend, Daisy Marie Chance, has gone missing. Her last words to him, `You'll regret it', haunt him as he realizes that he is more afraid of father's retribution than of his friend's safety. Jed is about to break free from childhood cares and be cast harshly into the real world where danger does exist and bad things do happen. In the small town of Defiance and in the events that follow the day Daisy went missing, most (if not all) of the challenges Christians face are written into the various characters, making them come alive with the struggles we, as readers, face each day. Struggles like Jed's feelings of failure for not protecting Daisy which prompt questions to and about God's providence. His view of God has been shaped by his father, who has allowed the rules of the Bible to choke out the grace he once knew in the beginning. Jed asks himself question after question as he struggles to make sense of why a loving God would allow such a sadness. His memories of his best friend are almost too painful at times. Meanwhile, as God surely does in our own lives at times, new friends enter his life revealing that yes - God has rules, and yes - God doesn't make sense sometimes, and yes - God will do as God pleases, but there is still joy to be known in friendship with an old black man named Hixon, there is still wonder to be known in an old bald women named Muriel, there is still messages of encouragement from his mother each morning. This is a marvelous read. I can hardly wait to read the next book in the series named `Slow Burn.' Reviewed by: Keiki Hendrix Reviewed for: The Vessel Project』 (Gripping...haunting...real) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I can't forget Daisy. Her spunk, her creativity, her ability to see the best in others--she grabbed my heart from the beginning. But everything's not as it seems in Defiance, TX. Kids don't always come home, parents don't always have their child's best interest at heart, and love is often found in unlikely places. Gripping, haunting, uncomfortably real. I couldn't put it down.』 (Daisy Chain) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『If this book had not been written by a Christian author I would have quit with it early on. I do not like secular books about preachers, and christians that are shown in negative light. Because this was written by a Christian, I continued with it. The father, a preacher is abusive to his wife and children. But by the time I was finished with the book I was wanting the next....This is a trilogy.』 『The abrupt disappearance of young Daisy Chance haunts the small town of Defiance, Texas.

>price: AD Classic Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Okay for a mature reader, great for the younger set.) ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I was expecting something great but was disappointed. After just finishing two other classics, Steinbeck's East of Eden and Lewis' Main Street, I thought I would continue in the classics mode. I am sure it was a great book in its time but if you are used to something like what I mentioned above, then it is not for you. If you are a young reader than I would highly recommend it. The stories are short and the language is not too difficult. The endings are somewhat predictable but maybe not for a younger reader.』 (A great introduction to the world of Sherlock Holmes) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I originally downloaded this collection of short stories in preparation for the Sherlock Holmes major motion picture that was coming out in 2009. As someone who had never read any of Sherlock Holmes' tales, this was a perfect introduction into the kind of stories Sir Arthur Conan Doyle penned for the legendary Holmes and Dr. Watson. The Kindle formatting could have used a little work; a currency sign that was apparently being used in the public domain version the Kindle version was "ported" from and instead of a currency sign being shown, miscellaneous characters were. But, all in all, a slight blip and nothing truly enjoyment-breaking.』 (A timeless hero) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Spending so much of my day plugged into the internet, peering at my iPhone, staring at Excel spreadsheets, it has been an absolute pleasure reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes(on my Kindle, I must admit). I am reminded, in adventure after adventure, that there is no substitute for a sharp mind and astute observation. As I watch the master investigator calmly solve the most "singular" of mysteries through the eyes of Dr. James Watson, I almost want to myself be transported back to 19th century London. If you haven't read any of Conan Doyle's stories, they are worth perusing. I only read a dozen of Holmes' adventures. But in those stories, I grew intimately close with both the detective and his trusty sidekick and doctor-cum-biographer, Watson. I came to admire Holmes' heroic stoicism, encyclopedic memory, and sharp wit. Each of the adventures follows a somewhat similar plot structure. The adventure opens with a shot into Watson's or Holmes' personal life. You might hear briefly about Watson's life as a doctor, or get a glimpse of Holmes' tobacco, alcohol, or cocaine habits (yes, the rumors are true--Holmes does cocaine). At some point, Watson ends up at Holmes' pad on Baker Street. Both men are then found lounging, Holmes in his "dressing gown," both men likely smoking, drinking, and enjoying a fine meal, usually arms' length from a cozy fire. Watson, the narrator, will then tell us how, in all of his time with Holmes, the case he is about to elucidate is the most "singular" one yet. Then one of them will see or hear someone approaching their home base; inevitably, the bell will ring and in will enter yet another all-but-hopeless client. We'll get a detailed description of the client's physical appearance, from the clothes on his or her back to the flushness of the face. We'll also always get an idea of what class the client falls into; most regularly, the clients are from higher classes. The client will give us a detailed account of his or her problems as Holmes and Watson listen intently. It is here that the reader is supposed to do the detective work to piece together clues to solve the case. Of course, most of what the client tells us seems unrelated and inane; Holmes will remind us that the simplest cases are the hardest ones, and the smallest of details often the most important. In most cases, the client has a suspicion that the police's conclusions on the case were flawed. In almost every case, the police were consulted and ended up being wrong indeed. Holmes generally requires a trip to the crime scene, sometimes in costume, and the readers have the privilege to join him with Watson. But most trips are simply chances for Holmes to confirm what he already suspected. Guns may be drawn, extreme danger is almost always encountered, and Holmes emerges the hero. Holmes has a penchant for withholding his conclusions from us until the very end of the story, however, so as the reader follows Holmes' movements at the crime scenes, the reader must do some sleuthing as well. Holmes will finally tell us what actually happened, and the seemingly innocuous clues from earlier in the chapter prove to be essential to the weaving of the truth. Holmes prefers to strike a deal with the crimes' perpetrators rather than offering them to the police. The clients offer to give Holmes unlimited reward for a job well done, and Holmes calmly requests only that which will defer the cost of his work. He gets enough pleasure out of a job professionally well-done. Because of the similarities between stories, I recommend taking Holmes in limited doses. But his is a very powerful medicine, one that rejuvenates the mind and strengthens the character. As an example of someone who betters the world by doing what he loves, Sherlock Holmes is a timeless hero.』 (Timeless classic, priceless entertainment) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I picked up the Sherlock Holmes Complete Collection because my mom had already downloaded it and I was mildly curious. Holmes was the best book I've read in a while, definately my favorite in the Mystery genre. I love the characters. Doyle whips up such fantastically real people out of no where with the most outrageous situations and stories. The main characters are priceless. Holmes has a very deep compassion for humanity buried among his quirks and strange habits. Watson is such a genuine, sympathetic companion and narrator that it feels like a friend telling a story over coffee. Let me put it this way, I'm bitterly upset that I finished the series. Bitterly. I wish with all my heart that I could just have a fresh Sherlock Holmes mystery every day. Definately a book I'll pick up again and recommend to everyone I know. My brother read them when he was a preteen/teenager, and I loved them at 24 y/o. I'm sure that a more mature audience would appreciate Holmes, also.』 (clasic sherlock) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『there is nothing like clasic sherlock holmes! the movie doesn't do it justice. I love this book! whoever said the cases were easy to solve must be a ton smarter than I am.』 『The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of the first twelve short stories based on the famous detective, including the cases of The Red-Headed League, The Speckled Band, and A Scandal in Bohemia. Holmes will need to use his various skills, including an aptitude for acting and disguise, tracking footprints, hand to hand combat, deciphering different types of tobacco ash, and knowledge of psychology to solve cases of blackmail, treachery and murder. Sherlock Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and is renowned for his skilful use of deductive reasoning, astute observation,and forensic skills to solve difficult cases. Deductive reasoning allows Holmes to impressively reveal a stranger's occupation. Similarly, by studying inanimate objects, he is able to make astonishingly detailed deductions about their owners. This mindset was a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, inspiring authors like Robert J. Sawyer, Neil Gaiman and Stephen King.』 『 The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (AD Classic Library Edition) > 『 The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (AD Classic Library Edition) > 『 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (Scholastic Classics) > 『 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (Scholastic Classics) > 『 Return of Sherlock Holmes (Wordsworth Classics) > 『 Return of Sherlock Holmes (Wordsworth Classics) > 『 Treasure Island (Enriched Classics Series) > 『 Treasure Island (Enriched Classics Series) > 『 The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (Oxford World's Classics) > 『 The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (Oxford World's Classics) > I wanted to buy It↑ タイトル『 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Vintage) > 『 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Vintage) > 『 The Girl Who Played with Fire > 『 The Girl Who Played with Fire > 『 The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest > 『 The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest > 『 The Help > 『 The Help > 『 The Elegance of the Hedgehog > 『 The Elegance of the Hedgehog > 『 Olive Kitteridge: Fiction > Stieg Larsson

Very hard to get started, but around page 30 things start to get easier to understand. There are many Vanger family members to keep straight at first, but then it's narrowed down to the main characters.

This fast paced exciting novel centers around an investigation being conducted by Mikael Blomkvist, a somewhat burnt out journalist, who is on self imposed exile from his editorial duties at Millenium magazine due to an ongoing trumped up libel suit. Blomkvist is hired by an elderly, emotionally plagued, rich industrialist, to use his investigative skillset in trying to solve the 35 year old mystery of his missing 16 year old niece. Larsen's description of his characters are vivid. It appears each member of the secluded Vanger clan sports some type of phobia, depression, or anxiety disorder. Wait to you meet Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood, tattooed, computer geek who assists Blomkvist in the investigation. This nearly 600 page fiction is a quick read due to the literary prowness of Larsen. You will not be disappointed. 5 stars』 (Swedish murder mystery) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I'm in the process of reading this fascinating book. Did you know there is a statue of limitations on murder in Sweden? There is no such limitation in the U.S. on murder. Makes me think about which is the better approach. I highly recommend this book because it's a great mystery and it also gives the reader a peek into a different culture.』 (You will not be able to put it down!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『This book did not seem too interesting to me in the beginning but once I was past chapter 1, I was totally into it. The author started describing the lives of two different characters and I couldn't wait to see what can possibly bring them together.』 『National Bestseller An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson'sGirl with the Dragon Tattoocombines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel. Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pieced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.』 『Amazon Best of the Month, September 2008: Once you startThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, there's no turning back. This debut thriller--the first in a trilogy from the late Stieg Larsson--is a serious page-turner rivaling the best of Charlie Huston and Michael Connelly. Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you reallydon'twant to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo. --Dave Callanan 』 『 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Vintage) > 『 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Vintage) > 『 The Girl Who Played with Fire > 『 The Girl Who Played with Fire > 『 The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest > 『 The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest > 『 The Help > 『 The Help > 『 The Elegance of the Hedgehog > 『 The Elegance of the Hedgehog > I wanted to buy It↑ タイトル『 Cape Refuge (Cape Refuge, No. 1) > 『 Cape Refuge (Cape Refuge, No. 1) > 『 Southern Storm (Cape Refuge, No. 2) > 『 Southern Storm (Cape Refuge, No. 2) > 『 River's Edge (Cape Refuge, No. 3) > 『 River's Edge (Cape Refuge, No. 3) > 『 Breaker's Reef (Cape Refuge, No. 4) > 『 Breaker's Reef (Cape Refuge, No. 4) > 『 Evidence of Mercy (Suncoast Chronicles Series #1) > 『 Evidence of Mercy (Suncoast Chronicles Series #1) > 『 Shadow of Doubt (Newpointe 911 Series #2) > Terri Blackstock

I thought Alice Sebold did a wonderful job of portraying feelings and really made you understand the characters .』 (Great book Horrible Movie) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『I really enjoyed this book. I bought it just before the movie came out. I waited to finish the book before I saw the movie and I am glad I did. The book is GREAT! The movie was so far off the book, it was hard for me to watch. I wish the movie would have stayed more true to the book. There is nothing more aggravating for me than a great book that is butchered by the movie.』 (Amazing read!) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Everyone should read this book. It is a masterpiece. The end is a bit of a stretch to me, but it seems to work. Some may not agree with the end, but if you can accept that part and go with it, then it is well worth it.』 (Ending was a bummer...) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『This was a really good read...up until the end...which I WILL NOT SPOIL for anyone. There are two things the writer could've (should've) done that would have made this book excellent. I don't regret buying it though and I encourage others to do so too. I still can't get over the ending though...』 (Good book) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『Bought this for my wife. She said it was a good read. Kinda sad though. Good read if you're going to watch the movie. Read this first.』 『Once in a generation a novel comes along that taps a vein of universal human experience, resonating with readers of all ages. THE LOVELY BONES is such a book -- a #1 bestseller celebrated at once for its artistry, for its luminous clarity of emotion, and for its astonishing power to lay claim to the hearts of millions of readers around the world. "My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie. I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973." So begins the story of Susie Salmon, who is adjusting to her new home in heaven, a place that is not at all what she expected, even as she is watching life on earth continue without her -- her friends trading rumors about her disappearance, her killer trying to cover his tracks, her grief-stricken family unraveling. Out of unspeakable tragedy and loss, THE LOVELY BONES succeeds, miraculously, in building a tale filled with hope, humor, suspense, even joy. The major motion picture version of THE LOVELY BONES, directed by Peter Jackson and starring Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, and Saoirse Ronan is scheduled for release on December 11, 2009. 』『On her way home from school on a snowy December day in 1973, 14-year-old Susie Salmon ("like the fish") is lured into a makeshift underground den in a cornfield and brutally raped and murdered, the latest victim of a serial killer--the man she knew as her neighbor, Mr. Harvey. Alice Sebold's haunting and heartbreaking debut novel,The Lovely Bones, unfolds from heaven, where "life is a perpetual yesterday" and where Susie narrates and keeps watch over her grieving family and friends, as well as her brazen killer and the sad detective working on her case. As Sebold fashions it, everyone has his or her own version of heaven. Susie's resembles the athletic fields and landscape of a suburban high school: a heaven of her "simplest dreams," where "there were no teachers.... We never had to go inside except for art class.... The boys did not pinch our backsides or tell us we smelled; our textbooks wereSeventeenandGlamourandVogue." The Lovely Bonesworks as an odd yet affecting coming-of-age story. Susie struggles to accept her death while still clinging to the lost world of the living, following her family's dramas over the years like an episode ofMy So-Called Afterlife. Her family disintegrates in their grief: her father becomes determined to find her killer, her mother withdraws, her little brother Buckley attempts to make sense of the new hole in his family, and her younger sister Lindsey moves through the milestone events of her teenage and young adult years with Susie riding spiritual shotgun. Random acts and missed opportunities run throughout the book--Susie recalls her sole kiss with a boy on Earth as "like an accident--a beautiful gasoline rainbow." Though sentimental at times,The Lovely Bonesis a moving exploration of loss and mourning that ultimately puts its faith in the living and that is made even more powerful by a cast of convincing characters. Sebold orchestrates a big finish, and though things tend to wrap up a littletoowell for everyone in the end, one can only imagine (or hope) that heaven is indeed a place filled with such happy endings.--Brad Thomas Parsons Look Inside the Motion PictureThe Lovely Bones(Paramount, 2010)

A great read!!』 (Great book, terrible formatting) ![]() ![]() ![]() 『This is a great novel. The version published by Public Domain Books (ASIN: B000JMLFLW) as an ebook is a formatting mess, however.

New Years Resolution to read as many of the "classics" as I could. I have been pleasently surprised by this book. It left me wanting more and sad that it was over.

The story is a mixture of intrigue and passion with an appropriate ending. The goog guy should always triumph!』 (Pride And Prejudice Dover Hardcover Edition) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 『There are literally thousands of review of Austen's seminal classic Pride And Prejudice out there already. This is a review of the Dover facsimile edition based on the 1894 copy. From the beautiful Hugh Thomson illustrations, to the embossed floral end pages, this edition is top notch. The cover is red cloth with gold foil lettering and peacock on the spine. The first page showing the opening line with huge flowing peacock is a work of art unto itself If you are a fan of Pride and Prejudice and long for a well made, permanent hard cover edition of the book, this is the edition for you!』 『 Next to the exhortation at the beginning of Moby-Dick, "Call me Ishmael," the first sentence of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice must be among the most quoted in literature. And certainly what Melville did for whaling Austen does for marriage--tracing the intricacies (not to mention the economics) of 19th-century British mating rituals with a sure hand and an unblinking eye. As usual, Austen trains her sights on a country village and a few families--in this case, the Bennets, the Philips, and the Lucases. Into their midst comes Mr. Bingley, a single man of good fortune, and his friend, Mr. Darcy, who is even richer. Mrs. Bennet, who married above her station, sees their arrival as an opportunity to marry off at least one of her five daughters. 』『In a remote Hertfordshire village, far off the good coach roads of George III's England, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet -- a country squire of no great means and his scatterbrained wife -- must marry off their five vivacious daughters. At the heart of this all-consuming enterprise are the headstrong second daughter Elizabeth and her aristocratic suitor Fitzwilliam Darcy, two lovers in whom pride and prejudice must be overcome before love can bring the novel to its magnificent conclusion.』 『 Pride and Prejudice (Arcturus Paperback Classics) > 『 Pride and Prejudice (Arcturus Paperback Classics) > 『 Sense and Sensibility (Norton Critical Editions) > 『 Sense and Sensibility (Norton Critical Editions) > 『 Sense and Sensibility (Everyman's Library) > 『 Sense and Sensibility (Everyman's Library) > 『 Mansfield Park (Norton Critical Editions) > 『 Mansfield Park (Norton Critical Editions) > 『 Sense and Sensibility (Barnes&Noble Classics) > 『 Sense and Sensibility (Barnes&Noble Classics) > I wanted to buy It↑ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 >> |
