Rose Mary _uque_ose — Fifteen-year-old Lizzie Allbauer lives in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania in 1861, shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War. When her sixteen-year-old cousin Rosanna McGreevey comes to visit from Virginia, Lizzie thinks the girls couldn't be more different. Lizzie is shy and doesn't feel she is pretty, while Rosanna is beautiful, outgoing, and flirtatious. However, the two girls develop a friendship. When war breaks out, Lizzie's father and brother enlist in the Union Army, and Rosanna returns to her home in Richmond, Virginia. From that point on, their lives diverge sharply. Lizzie helps support the Union cause that her father and brother are fighting for, and helps run the family business while the men are at war. Meanwhile, Rosanna marries a handsome young Confederate soldier and follows him to war, nursing the wounded soldiers. Eventually the girls reunite and witness the Battle of Gettysburg. Two Girls of Gettysburg is a wonderful historical novel that does a good job at showing both sides of the Civil War and how the conflict destroyed lives and tore families apart. The novel is told through the alternating voices of the two girls. Lizzie's chapters are told from a standard first-person point of view, while Rosanna's are told through diary entries, similar to a Dear America book. As a result Lizzie's story was more detailed and her character was a bit more developed than Rosanna`s as a result. I highly recommend this novel to teens with an interest in history, as well as older readers who still love young adult historical fiction.

Daniel Chong correctiontape — This is my all-time favorite book. It has changed my life.

Gary Cabrera graysource — Kickback p. m. terrell Chicago Spectrum Press, 2002 ISBN 1879260417 Mass Market Paperback Re-issued by Drake Valley Press, 2002 ISBN 0972818618 0-9728186-1-8-9728186-1-8 Sheila Carpenter is a recent college graduate, a farm girl just starting her career as a computer programmer in the big city, Washington, DC. Recruited by a prestigious computer consulting firm, she’s rented a lovely townhouse in Old Town Alexandria, a place she’s delighted to have even if she can’t afford any furniture to put in it yet. Sheila is living her dream. Her first assignment is with a large trucking broker, a firm which contracts with trucking companies all over the country to haul products for its clients. Her job is to create the programs that will allow the company to move its computer operations from an old mainframe to a PC system. Within a few days, though, she learns that what they really want is a new program that she believes must be illegal, although she’s not entirely sure. Seeking advice, Sheila runs into brick walls everywhere. Her employer is dismissive of her concerns and law enforcement doesn’t seem to be interested; in fact, they treat her with disdain even when real trouble begins with a break-in and assault at her home and a death ruled a suicide when she is sure it’s murder. Fear begins to escalate as Sheila realizes she is being followed and bodies begin to pile up. There is only one person she can trust but she’s going to have to find the evidence herself if she has any chance of surviving. The action in this soft-boiled thriller is nearly constant and the suspense builds to a crescendo that is nearly unbearable but also irresistible. Those of us who are voracious readers have the pleasure of reading many very fine works; most of us, though, don’t ever have the experience of discovering a real gem and that is what this is. Kickback is a joy to read for a number of reasons—great story, wonderful writing, good grammar (which is important to me), a protagonist who could be yourself or your daughter or sister, red herrings galore. This is the author’s first novel and, if it gets the attention it deserves, I expect p. m. terrell will become one of the big names in the mystery field. Reviewed by Lelia Taylor, 2002.

Cecile Moreau _ecycledby_yena — Oh dear....I have to say I did not connect to this story line. I never give up on a book, if I did, I would have stopped reading by page 50. So, I basically skimmed the book in reading it...only reading the quotes. I could not get myself interested in the plot of this story which consisted of a girl who flees her family to attend an anti vamp "kick their ass" school. Basically, vamps have taken over the world and there are a select few young humans, who go to the school to train, who fight them off and save humanity. One of her classmates is a vamp and pro human and fights with the team and he & the girl fall in love.

анастасия кравченко anastasiakravchenko — If I could, I would give it 2 1/2 stars... I liked the book for its historical information but having recently finished an *amazing* book about living through war and simultaneously reading another book with a writing style that I preferred more, this one seemed to fall flat in engaging me. The story follows a woman in her twenties born to a Korean immigrant mother and a US father who decides to go looking for her roots in Korea. The story is then told from the perspective of her maternal grandfather (just before the Korean war), followed by her mother (just prior to immigrating to the US) and then back to her during her trip in the 1980's. I found the narrative perspectives to be rather distant and too matter of fact like for my taste. And the narrative with the young woman was too full of metaphors and too long descriptions of the scenery to keep my attention. I learned a great deal about Korea; a country I realized I knew virtually nothing about. And I really appreciated the historical context for today's North/South Korea split. I had no idea how brutal Japan was during their occupation of Korea, they completely decimated the country and I'm not even sure why. And then to read about the Korean war and the devastation that created by dividing the country even further. So much violence. As the daughter of immigrant parents myself, I also appreciated her lending a voice to the experience of belonging to a country but not really being able to claim it as one's own. It seems to be a common sentiment, you grow up hearing about this country, feeling like you don't belong in the US because you're "different" and then when you get to the "home" country, realizing that you don't really belong there either. Overall, I like the story, the history, and the concept; it was the delivery that just fell flat for me.

Des Cherry discus19568d14 — "Eating Crow" is an amusing, wry, clever little novel about a restaurant critic who is famous for his scathing reviews. Through a series of events the critic becomes the UN's Chief Apologist. The book is full of fabulous food descriptions-- a little bit of food porn for your inner foodie!

송 현수 thdgustn31d890 — Unparrelled!! great!!

Ievgenii Lihovidov _evgenii_ihovidov — This is one of my favorite books ever! I loved the setting, the characters, the storyline, the dialogue, the writing, everything. I am completely in love with everything in the entire story.

Angelliki Liamis angelliki — Good Jesse Stone book

Leah Malmos lamalmos8bf1 — I couldn't even finish this book...awful! If you want to read things like "it was different but it was the same", or "he changed but didn't", "the day was warmer, but cooler", this book was good, but it wasn't!

Stefano Coviello stecoviello — This book became the favorite of the series for me. The way Clary goes with Jace and Sebastian despite her distaste and distrust of her brother proves how deep her love is for Jace. I love how Cassandra also let us all learn more about Izzy and Alec and their brother/sister relationship and just how human they can be. I am, however, ticked about what happened between Alec and Magnus. But oh what a shocker at the end when Alec continued searching for Camille and found whatzherface instead! I have become so invested in these characters and it's all Cassandra's fault. I don't know if I can wait as long as I have to for the last book. But I know I will continue to read this series over and over again. Note about purchasing from Barnes & Noble - It seems that they are pushing us to buy books online. If you want a copy of the book on release day and know that what they are selling the book for online is a good price, do not buy it in the store - pre-order it online or buy from and Independent Book Store. They will not give you the online price that is on their own website. Poor business practice in my eyes. But hey... that is what will push me to go to an independent book store and away from them. They drove Borders out of business and honestly, they don't deserve our business anymore.

Shohidul Islam firoz_009 — "If God were a Kantian, who would not have us till we came to Him from the purest and best motives, who could be saved?"

Marimba Rojas marimbarojas — It's Terry Brooks, based on the screenplay and story by George Lucas. Hardback. Natalie Portman as the princess on the cover. Why do all the princess type women in Star Wars have such absurd hair styles? And why were the prequels to the original trilogy all so bad?

Nik Carole nikandcarole — The Last Dickens is both mystery and historical fiction, and although it moves a bit slowly as a mystery, the rich period detail and well-drawn characters (including Dickens himself) more than make up for the pace. Pearl does a nice job of weaving several threads that seem unrelated in the early chapters into a credible pay off at the end. He gets extra props from me for his postscript describing which characters and incidents in the book come from his research and which were entirely fictional.

Niclas Sandgren misterpowe5ddc — Another book written in e-mail format, which, for some reason, I enjoy. This time, a tale of two people thrust unwillingly together by their friends' wedding.

Angus Macleod angusmacleod — Wonderful book! I recommend it to everyone
