| 2. Pride And Prejudice |
|
By: Jane Austen
Publisher: CreateSpace
March 10, 2010
I would have liked to have met Jane Austen, and I think she would find it entertaining that her books have lasted as long as they did.
I won't review the book itself, but rather, the Kindle version of it. The book was free (amazing) and works splendidly across my non-Kindle devices, my iPod touch and my Blackberry. That way, I can sneak 10-15 mins worth of reading in on the train or bus... more

| 3. Treasure Island | 
|
By: Robert Louis Stevenson
Publisher: Atheneum
September 01, 1981
This book is one of the "Classics". It is a swashbuckling tale, full of incidents/adventures that will enchant a young reader. I purchased it for the N.C. Wyeth illustrations ( I am an artist , a grand niece of Charles Woodbury who founded the Ogunquit School of Art) with which I am very familiar. Born and raised in Maine, I enjoy ALL the Wyeth works, and own an original N.C Wyeth print. My husband... more

|
By: Chris Cleave
Publisher: Thorndike Press
June 03, 2009
This is an amazing journey for the soul to take. I will be very vague regarding the story line because to have it spoiled would spoil the whole book. That aside, I felt the writing style was beutiful to read and from the beginning until the last page you "feel" the story. I found myself in tears a couple of times, and hardly even noticed because I was so deep into the story. I feel that Little Bee's... more

|
By: Charles Dickens
Publisher: Penguin Classics Hardcover
October 27, 2009
A great reading but the sixteen discs are not labeled as to chapters on the disc nor are there any liner notes. You must play the disc and wait for the chapter to be mentioned during the reading. I do not see why they would have left these necessary conveniences out. Very inconvenient... more
