|
By: Jane Austen
Publisher: Dell Pub Co
1979-06
This classic Jane Austen novel is one of my all-time favorites and I loved the novel on my Kindle as well. The imagery from the novel book version is just as good in the Kindle version. I recommend this to anyone who hasn't read it before and has a Kindle too... more

| 3. Treasure Island | 
|
By: Robert Louis Stevenson
Publisher: Dell Pub Co
1974-09
There are few novels that have had as much influence in popular culture as "Treasure Island." Pirates with talking parrots, treasure maps, mutiny, deceit, this novel has it all. In spite of this, a great many individuals pass on reading the book because they think it is simply a childrens story. If you are leaning toward this bias, you should know that this claim is not true; the novel is filled with... more

| 4. Picture of Dorian Gray |
|
By: Oscar Wilde
Publisher: Dell Pub Co
1956-06
The Picture of Dorian Gray is another one of those classics that I'd heard mentioned in passing or read about but never actually sat down to read. It's short, only 200ish pages long - but don't let the short length of it deceive you, it packs a fairly powerful punch.
The premise fascinated me from the moment I read it. Innocent young man who manages to remain that way on the outside... more

| 6. Cross Stitch |
|
By: Diana Gabaldon
Publisher: Dell Pub Co
1992-07
There are many more salient criticisms of this book here, but this is what I have to say...
First, some praise - this a good story concept, and the book is extremely well written. The author really knows how to turn a phrase, and is quite clever and eloquent in her descriptions, dialog, and humor. She proves herself extremely witty time and time again.
However, there... more

| 7. The Gift of Fear |
|
By: Gavin de Becker
Publisher: Dell
May 11, 1999
Save the money and understand that the author says " trust your gut" and when violence erupts you didn't "divine" coming? well, that's what happens when you realize you are not a psychic.
How many times do we get a gut feeling and it turns out to be nothing? plenty.
how many times do we get bit in the butt and we kick ourselves for not trusting our gut? plenty.

| 8. Dark Angel/Lord Carew's Bride |
|
By: Mary Balogh
Publisher: Dell
February 23, 2010
I have in recent years become a Mary Balogh fan and was thrilled to find this reissue of two of her older titles under one cover. Though first published in 1994, they are lacking nothing of a contemporary Regency romance.
These two stories are bound together by related heroines, neighboring heroes, and a common villain, who is just about the vilest plausible piece of work I've encountered... more
