Into The Wild
Into The Wild
by Jon Krakauer
 (8/9/2001)
Heather
I recently finished reading Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild and I was disappointed. It came as no great shock (having recently read Into Thin Air) that Jon Krakauer took minimal facts about a young man he didn't even know and created a 'nonfiction' story linking these …more
Innocence
Innocence: A Novel
by Jane Mendelsohn
 (8/9/2001)
Robin
As I read Mendelsohn's novel, it was somewhat scary, but at the same time intriguing. The metaphors included within the novel make one think about the world we see around us. A picture of the adolescent mind is exquisitely painted by the plot and structure of the book. …more
In The Meantime
In The Meantime: Finding Yourself and the Love that You Want
by Iyanla Vanzant
 (8/9/2001)
Teri
I did not think the book was well written and I believe it encourages people to be too self-centered. However, it has a few good points, such as: "You can't grab what is good for you if you are holding on to what is bad for you." and "fluctuation is not the same as …more

In The Meantime: Finding Yourself and the Love that You Want
by Iyanla Vanzant
 (8/9/2001)
Kim Larocque
The book inspired me to realize one important thing. As long as I am "In the Meantime" everything else is O.K. While I evaluate, "throw out the trash", and move up and forward, I can have peace of mind and live life in the present moment.
In The Meantime
In The Meantime: Finding Yourself and the Love that You Want
by Iyanla Vanzant
 (8/9/2001)
Emily Eldridge
This book was an excellent source of strength for me as I was dealing with the exact "in the meantime" experience Iyanla discussed. She made me realize that although my life may seem to be stagnant; it is just the beginning. God is just preparing me for …more
In A Sunburned Country
In A Sunburned Country: UK Title: Down Under
by Bill Bryson
 (8/9/2001)
Jim Sayre
Perhaps my exposure to this as an audio book contributed to my frequent aversion to Bryson's style. The delivery came across too often as jaded, melodramatic, and illusory. To be 'cute' he pretends to be in eminent danger, yet is able to throw in $1.00 words to a …more
House of Sand and Fog
House of Sand and Fog
by Andre Dubus III
 (8/9/2001)
Sue C
I, too, found this book vastly disappointing. I was willing to suspend disbelief for the first two thirds, where I was pulled along by interesting writing and two characters -- Kathy and Behrani -- whose emotional situations, if not their legal status, were relatively …more
House of Sand and Fog
House of Sand and Fog
by Andre Dubus III
 (8/9/2001)
Susan
I fought my way through this book from the beginning. After Oprah and several critics gave this novel such high acclaim, I was determined to stick with it until I found the pleasure I had been promised. It never came. I was unable to develop any concern or affection …more
Hot Six
Hot Six

KK
The best stephanie plum roller coaster ride yet! can't wait for the next one.
Hearts In Atlantis
Hearts In Atlantis
by Stephen King
 (8/9/2001)
Paul Nash
The master of horror, with perhaps his finest novel in twenty years, recreates the 1960's and the decades that followed with stunning clarity and his typical eye for even the smallest detail. King's ability to turn even the most normal situation into a tale of …more

Not many people (including myself I must confess) would expect someone who makes a living of getting severely injured again and again to be such an intelligent, witty, funny and genuine human being. Not only does his book act as a fascinating (and at times sickening) …more

Mick has really opened up his heart and soul to write this autobiography, and boy, it was worth it! Full of comedy, romance, drama and heartache, this book dissects the myth and legend that is Mick Foley and hands it back to the reader on a compelling level. It is much, …more

This is to anyone who has recently seen the book "Have a nice day" by Author/Wrestler Mick "Mankind" Foley on top of the New York times bestseller list but has been hesitant to read the book because its about wrestling and that wrestling is fake. Let me tell …more

John Kell
Have a Nice Day is an unusually touching and honest look at a world that has received little respect in regards to being a legitimate business/sport. Mick Foley lets all truth be known as he explains the behind-the-scenes of many popular wrestling organizations. …more

Have A Nice Day was really funny. And it encouraged me not to give up my dreams of becoming a pro wrestler.

Hannibal
Hannibal
by Thomas Harris
 (8/9/2001)
Eric D. Cole
This was one great book! The suspense just builds and builds until you can't stand but to read the whole thing in one setting. Harris does a great job of bringing you into the book with such great vivid and exacting details. A great read that will scare and …more
Hannibal
Hannibal
by Thomas Harris
 (8/9/2001)
Momoko
I've read all the Hannibal books now, and each one just gets better. This book was soo amazing, I could hardly put it down! It kept you in suspense, and the last hundred-or-so pages is my favorite, and I keep reading it over and over. I thought the ending was perfect, …more

Hannibal

 (8/9/2001)
Lily
This book makes you use your imagination at it's furthest and it is all ruined at the end. Hannibal should of eaten her or something-anything-other than that. She's too smart to fall into his twisted life style.
