| | 1. |  | The Great Gatsby
from Scribner
Price: $8.37
Customer Review:
F. Scott Fitzgerald's timeless classic is evocative, stirring and unsettling. I had not read this book in thirty years and decided to re-read it while looking for another book at the library. I can now understand why leading experts believe this is one of the best if not the best American novel in... more info

from Anchor
Price: $6.57
Customer Review:
This was the absolute WORST book I've ever read in my life. My English teacher made me read it over the summer and I hated it. It's this boring hard to understand book about this guy in Nigeria just livin' his life. Then he accedentally kills this kid and is sent into excile for seven years. These... more info

| | 3. |  | How Fiction Works
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $14.40
Customer Review:
Several comments leave an impression to at least one not academically qualified to have wandered into a symposium for MBA/PhD credentialed professionals.
Give classicists their due in literary art forms, this common reader also enjoys contemporaries, such as David Guterson's introspective The... more info

| | 4. |  | To Kill a Mockingbird
from Grand Central Publishing
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
You know what, I was about to put that book down and stop reading it. I heard so many people telling what a good book/movie it was so I was curious to find out why.
The first half of the book was really dragging and sometimes seemed irrelevant and boring, but it totally turned around starting... more info

from Del Rey
Price: $6.99
Customer Review:
I had to read this book over the summer (I'm going into 10th grade). At first it took me a while to get into it. Soon enough I couldn't put it down. It was a great book. I would recommend it to everyone.

| | 6. |  | The Secret Life of Bees
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
The book is more aimed at someone between the ages of 12-16, particularly female. Kidd portrays well the frailty of this girl, coupled with her insecurities and joys. Her relationships to the people around her are those I find unreal a little bit- saintly people who are completely forgiving.... more info

| | 7. |  | The Catcher in the Rye
from Back Bay Books
Price: $11.19
Customer Review:
This book is one of those books that every kid at age 15 should read. It may seem to have subjects that kids shouldn't be exposed to but let's not kid ourselves. Children these days just seem smarter and capable of more and more each day. If they are exposed to such adult topics as adult social... more info

Orwell displays brilliance at every turn in this acclaimed work. The depth of social commentary, non-stop plot, rich characters and fluid sytle make this a classic in every sense. The aventures of Winston Smith, the main character, provide incisive, memorable insights into the nautre of human... more info

from Laurel Leaf

Customer Review:
As a teacher of learning disabled students...I can say that all of my pupils loved this book. Some of the ideas might need a bit of explaining, but it is a story that kids can really get into.
