By: Margaret Tarner

1995-02
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

| 2. Wuthering Heights (Heinemann Guided Series) | 
|
By: Emily Bronte
Publisher: Delta Systems
1995-02
I have to say that my opinion of this book has changed little since I first read it, back in high school. Basically, I don't like it. I did give it two stars though, because I have mixed feelings about it. In fact, the total dislike I felt for it the first time has mellowed somewhat. But not by much.
I consider it a masterpiece, albeit a flawed one. The prose style is definitely the work... more

|
By: Milton J. Paine, John Steinbeck
Publisher: Delta Systems Co Inc

John Steinbeck writes with heart and muscle. Whether penning a lumbering masterpiece such as "East of Eden," or a short parable such as this, he imbues character and setting with thought and feeling.
Kino, a young husband and father in the Gulf town of La Paz, goes out one morning to dive for pearls. He is happy. He hears the song of his family in the trees, yet also hears the song of... more

| 4. Jurassic Park: Intermediate Level (Extended Read) (Guided Reader) |
|
By: Michael Crichton, F.H. Cornish
Publisher: Delta Systems
1997-05
I listened to this book as an abridged (I couldn't find unabridged) audio book, so my review may differ from that of other readers.
Having seen the Jurassic Park movies multiple times each, I was actually quite surprised how this story seemed to have parts from all of the movies in it. It makes me excited to read/listen to The Lost World next. I read on Wikipedia that Crichton helped to write... more

| 5. Bleak House (Heinemann Guided Readers Series) |
|
By: Charles Dickens
Publisher: Delta Systems Co Inc
1976-06
I did it. I finally finished "Bleak House." It took me the better part of three months, and involved a sheet of paper covered in notes just so I could keep track of all the characters and their plotlines, but I finally got there in the end. A tangle of intrigues and mysteries, a scathing indictment of the time's corrupt legal system, and a massive cast of characters (just when you think Dickens can't... more

Since a potential buyer might be wondering which edition to buy, I've decided to give a brief review of the edition instead of one of the story.
This is the 2003 reissue of the 1986 edition of the Bantam classic edition. This edition has the 1986 introduction by John Irving. It contains the Dickens classic in its intact form, with the original ending following it separately. It is 528... more

| 8. Shane (Heinemann Guided Series) |
|
By: John Milne, Jack Schaefer
Publisher: Delta Systems Co Inc
1995-02
Shane was a great book and I really enjoyed it very much. This book had a lot of symbolism in it. Moreover, I did this book as my book report and I really liked it a lot and I had a great time reading it. It was a compelling story for the reason that it had great characters and great plot as well. Finally, I feel that everyone from the ages of 12-adult would enjoy reading this book. Before you read... more

| 9. The Franchise Affair (Heinemann Guided Reader) |
|
By: Margaret Tarner, John Milne
Publisher: Delta Systems Co Inc
1995-02
I appreciate a mystery writer who doesn't make every mystery a murder mystery. This is a fun read about the best and worst of man's nature - a case that seems to be one person's word against anothers'. Watch how the general public reacts and form your own opinion. This sort of tale is timeless.
Foul Language - None.
Sex - None, overtly. Some discussion of cohabitation by an unwed... more
