| 1. Pride and Prejudice (Thornes Classic Novels) | 
|
By: Jane Austen Publisher: Stanley Thornes Publishers, Ltd 1997-10
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. Treasure Island (Great Illustrated Classics) | 
|
By: Robert Louis Stevenson Publisher: Playmore Publishers 1989-05
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

| 3. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (A Stepping Stone Book(TM)) | 
|
By: Jules Verne Publisher: Random House Books for Young Readers September 28, 2004
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

Told with charm and gusto, here are the "true" merry tales of Robin Hood. No goofy guys in tights here, but loyal fellows proudly donning hunter green to join the band of outdoors men, out of work and outlawed by an unjust government that confiscates unfair taxes from the unfortunate... more

| 5. The Island of Dr. Moreau (Dramascripts Classic Texts) | 
|
By: H.G. Wells, David Calcutt Publisher: Nelson Thornes Ltd May 19, 1999
This book was a wonderful example of how terrible animal experimnetation is. On the other hand if you have any type of attention disorder that can sometimes give you fits this is not the book for you. Every five minutes i had to put my kindle down and just try to think, I had to literlay go through and reread some parts over and over again. It was one of those plainly hard reads for me that put a barrier... more

| 7. Wuthering Heights (Thornes Classic Novels) | 
|
By: Emily Bronte Publisher: Stanley Thornes Publishers, Ltd 1997-09
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

| 10. The Three Musketeers | 
|
By: Alexandre Dumas Publisher: Baronet June 01, 1990
These remind me of the Classics Illustrated Comics that were popular many decades ago except without all the pictures. I suppose my 5 star rating has nothing to do with these editions, it has everything to do with the stories being retold in this series. We purchased a bunch of them and are enjoying the stories. Make no mistake, this is not classic literature, it is the retelling of the classic... more
