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

This book causes my Kindle to freeze. Must do a complete reset to get it to work again. This is the only book, so far that caused a crash. I don't know if I will try to re-download it from Amazon. Weird huh?... more

| 3. Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 1 (The Twilight Saga) | 
|
By: Stephenie Meyer
Publisher: Yen Press
March 16, 2010
Although it pains me to say this, I did feel there was something to be desired with this new addition to the Twilight saga. Being a fan of the series, I was left wanting more emotion from the graphic novel. While it has been widely acknowledged that the writing in Twilight isn't perhaps the most complicated or challenging, at least it left me feeling giddy with every page. When reading the original... more

| 8. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Graphic Novel Adaptation) |
|
By: Mark Twain
Publisher: Campfire
March 01, 2010
I don't need to tell you what this book is about: everyone is familiar with it. I started reading it for the first time at age 25, fully expecting it to be the greatest novel I've ever read. I was not disappointed. I've never laughed so much with one book. The dialects, the events, the people: they're all so priceless. A masterpiece!... more

Now you mustn't think that this is a story of a poor neglected girl. Keep in mind that she is out of school, during... more

Publisher: Collins Design
February 02, 2010
We all know what happened to poor Alice when she fell down the rabbit hole? Or do we?
This is definitely not Disney's Alice in Wonderland or Tim Burton's wickedly awesome version of the tale. This is it... the real deal.
I've been meaning to read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for a few years now (you'd think I would've read it as a child, but nope, back then I was into... more
