| 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

| 2. The Picture Of Dorian Gray (Original Lippincott Edition) | 
|
By: Oscar Wilde
Publisher: Creation Books
2000
The Picture of Dorian Gray is another one of those classics that I'd heard mentioned in passing or read about but never actually sat down to read. It's short, only 200ish pages long - but don't let the short length of it deceive you, it packs a fairly powerful punch.
The premise fascinated me from the moment I read it. Innocent young man who manages to remain that way on the outside... more

By: Jules Verne
Publisher: Puffin Books
June 01, 2006
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

| 4. The Graveyard Book |
|
By: Neil Gaiman
Publisher: HarperCollins
September 30, 2008
I read this book cover to cover. Not terrible, just really uninspired.
I really could've put this book down at any moment, because it failed to draw me in. I was really expecting it to get interesting since I found it in "Award Winning Fantasy".
It's a very inoffensive and easy read. You could keep this in a classroom as a loaner, or burn through it in a couple of hours... more

| 8. Madman Gargantua (Madman Comics) |

By: Mike Allred
By: Mike Allred
Publisher: Image Comics
August 08, 2007
Mike Allred is consistently AWESOME: X-Statix, Citizen Noctourne, Red Rocket 7, the Atomics...Madman Gargantua is just another creative masterpiece from the writer/artist. I wasn't terribly familiar with the character Frank Einstein, a.k.a. Madman before I picked up this fantastic collection. However, I have read a ton of Allred's work, so I knew I'd be in for a fun, colorful ride. Madman Gargantua... 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
