Message In A Bottle
by Nicholas Sparks
 (9/12/2001)
Cindy M
Nicholas Sparks has very quickly become one of my favorite authors. He touches my heart and emotions like no other author.
Message In A Bottle has become my 2nd favorite book. Thank goodness I read the book before seeing the movie, which is also wonderful. I highlymore
Hannibal
by Thomas Harris
 (9/12/2001)
Dorian
Absolutely Amazing... Harris continued down the road to success with
Hannibal. When reading a book I look for a few important things:
interesting characters, facinating plot, and attention grabbing. I love
a book so unbeliveable you could not possibly put it down. Imore
The Color of Water
by James McBride
 (9/12/2001)
Lizbeth
This was one of the greatest books that I have ever read! I loved
hearing about both the mother and sons backrounds. It was beutifully
written and I was really able to place myself in the story and think
about what it must have been like to be either one of them.more
The Poisonwood Bible
by Barbara Kingsolver
 (9/12/2001)
Joseph
The book is very interesting, kingsolver really showed how life was for
this family, and depicted how Nathan price treated his family and the
disparity between him and his family. The conception his family had of
him, they basically hated him. He misconstrued themore
The Last Time They Met
by Anita Shreve
 (9/12/2001)
Linda
I think that this book was good, but confusing. I read half of it and
then several weeks passed before I read the second half, so maybe that is
why it was confusing. At the end of the book I felt like I was not sure
what really happened. If somebody knows can youmore

Easy Prey
by John Sandford
 (9/12/2001)
Brooklyn
I generally found the story to be a compelling one and at times found it difficult to put the book down.
The storyline is intriguing and all the necessary elements seem
to be present, but the first person narrative is difficult
to digest in the context of this story.more

I had to read this book as a summer reading assignment in my english
class. even though my friends told me it was a great and exciting novel,
i couldn't help but be frustrated by it. i don't know if i just didn't
absorb the material or if i was just confused. theremore
The Last Time They Met

I loved this story. I cried the whole day when i was finished with the
book. When I reached the last page, I kept thinking did I read this
right? If anyone can please explain what the last paragraph meant!

Lardo is gettting more and more on key with Sanders. Who is Vincent
anyway? How did the "Estate" decide upon him? He is truly a
delight!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bear and The Dragon
by Tom Clancy
 (9/12/2001)
Dino
Tom Clancy's The Bear & The Dragon is a worthwhile follow up to his last
Jack Ryan novel, Executive Orders. As usual, Mr.Clancy's talents as the
Dean of Techno-thrillers comes through in this latest work.
Once again, Clancy's familiar characters-from Robby Jackson tomore
The Edge of Town
by Dorothy Garlock
 (9/12/2001)
Donna Everett, WA
Very well written. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Couldn't put it down.
Felt the characters were real. A very shocking twist at the end.
Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban: Book 3

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkban was AMAZING! I have now read all

Baby Girl
This story is incredible. My mother gave this book to my children as a
gift. I started reading it to them at night before bed. I started the
first chapter with them and could not put the book down by morning i was
finished with the first book. I have also read themore

HareChick
I thought it would be a children's book at first. But when I started to
read, I became part of it. I never felt so strongly involved in a book
before. For two weeks after I wished I was part of the book. Read this
book, guys.
A Man Named Dave: A Story of Triumph and Foregiveness
by Dave Pelzer
 (9/12/2001)
Vicki Pearmain
This book answered a lot of questions that I had from reading the two
previous books. I read all three books in a two week period - as soon as
I had finished one I had to read the next one. I 17 years old and I
think that the books were so inspiring that Imore
A Man Named Dave: A Story of Triumph and Foregiveness
by Dave Pelzer
 (9/12/2001)
Sheri Fisher, Des Moines, Iowa
"A Man Named Dave" Is a very touching story. I respect Mr. Pelzer for
writing a book about his past. Being a survivor of abuse I can see where
Dave is coming from. It is not easy to break the cycle of abuse. I
have, and I hope many others will as well.
Tuesdays With Morrie: An Old Man, A Young Man & The Last Great Lesson
by Mitch Albom
 (9/12/2001)
Mitch
As a young teenager reading this book, I greatly value the lessons I
attained. Typical of me I was selfish, un-forgiving and un-happy.
Seemingly enough I have come to the conclusion that life is not about the
tangibles, especially money, that make me happy. It ismore
