|
By: J. R. R. Tolkien
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
1996-08
I got this book for my father for Christmas. He had the same one when we were kids and had always wanted another copy after losing the first one. I found it here and ordered it through one of the marketplace sellers. It was the exact same edition from my childhood. The illustrations are beautiful and match the cartoon movie version that came out at the same time. The book was in fair condion... more

| 5. The Graveyard Book |
|
By: Neil Gaiman
Publisher: HarperCollins
September 30, 2008
I think I am one of the very few people who truly disliked this book. It has a slow start, keeps going slowly, coming to a very anticlimactic and predictable ending. Not only that, but it is extraordinarily difficult to understand with the vocabulary used. The target audience is 6th-8th graders. They are not going to understand what is going on. I'm sure it's Newbery material because of this fact... more

| 6. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days |
|
By: Jeff Kinney
Publisher: Amulet Books
October 12, 2009
Awkward adolescent Greg Heffley stumbles into more trouble in this, the fourth book in the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series.
I didn't get quite as many outright laughs out of this one as I did the first two, but "Dog Days" is still quite entertaining, with funny and clever twists on Greg's summer-gone-wrong. Worth a read. ... more

This book was assigned to me and I gotta say, it's one of those you don't regret reading while you have numerous jobs at hand. It truly made me love graphic novels; a must have. ... more

| 8. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw | 
|
By: Jeff Kinney
Publisher: Amulet Books
January 13, 2009
This third book in the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series had a lot to live up to, since the first two were so clever and funny. And in truth, this one isn't quite as good. It's just a little less funny, and the main character, Greg Heffley, shows some flashes of cockiness that make him a bit less likeable ("I'm pretty much one of the best people I know").
Having said that, it's still worth... more
