March 25, 2003
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

I really tried to like this as I knew someone who thought it was great. Unfortunately, I could never get into it. I must have read half the book before I finally just gave up and gave the book away... more

|
By: H.G. Wells
Publisher: Penguin
February 01, 2007
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

|
By: Kurt Vonnegut
Publisher: Grafisk
1998-06
I picked this book up for fun one day at my bookstore job. It looked interesting & throughout my life, this was one of Vonnegut's books that everyone's crowed about. I just wish I'd liked it as much as they did.
Since there's dozens upon dozens of reviews on here that give the plot synopsis, I won't bother rehashing it here & just give you my opinions.
I liked the... more

| 8. The Elements of Style |
|
By: William I. Strunk
Publisher: Collier Macmillan Ltd
August 18, 1972
I started to get down to the book based on personal recommendation. My professor told me that this book is a must-read and will help us go down to the same path he did. I wanna break the norm that scientists can't write well.
This awesome book was originally written by Willim Strunk Jr, in the hope of helping his students to write well in his class. To his great surprise, one of his students... more

| 10. 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
