| 1. Treasure Island (Classics Illustrated) | 
|
By: Robert Louis Stevenson, Pat Boyette Publisher: Berkley Publishing Group 1991-01
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

|
By: Stephenie Meyer Publisher: Yen Press March 16, 2010
i totally love the story of twilight and i had not read it in a while. this version brought back all the wonderful memories from the first time i read it. the artwork is beautifully done and creates a very dreamy and haunting atmosphere for the story. i could almost say this is like a cliff notes version of twilight. yet it doesnt leave out the important parts like the film did.
i love... more

| 9. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel | 
|
By: Jane Austen, Seth Grahame-Smith Publisher: Del Rey May 04, 2010
This was awesome, much more exciting than the original, although I loved the original very much. The original work is a wonderful story with a great plot. However, the way it was written was terribly slow and I only appreciated it after reading it in a class that dissected it and revealed it's hidden treasures. I think this version was the same except that it boosts you through the slow parts like... more
