1.[no image]The Secret Life of Bees (Unabridged)
from audible.com
Price: $18.35

Customer Review:
I know I am very late to the party when it comes to "The Secret Life of Bees". It was at a second hand store, and was the best of what was available, so I picked it up. The words and images in this novel set in 1964 South Carolina in 1964 were very evocative...when Kidd describes the oppressive heat... more info

3.Life of Pi (Unabridged)Life of Pi (Unabridged)
from audible.com
Price: $19.40

Customer Review:
This book rates in my top 5 right next to The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. What you need to keep in mind is that it is a STORY, a FABLE, not meant to be perceived as reality. Although, I found a lot of it believable. Maybe not the meerkat island, but even that bit of the story was intriguiing. I wish... more info

4.A Fine BalanceA Fine Balance
from audible.com
Price: $13.63

Customer Review:
This book is the epitome of Murphy's Law- what can go wrong, will go wrong. It is so needlessly depressing. I am not one to only read books that are filled with sunshine and rainbows, but like many other reviewers have said, the problems faced by the characters in this book are SO numerous that as I... more info

5.The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency (Unabridged)The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (Unabridged)
from audible.com
Price: $13.12

Customer Review:
I'm not sure why this book got such raving reviews, I certainly don't need to go on and read book 2 in the series. Perhaps it is because I listened to the audio version, but I found the tone of the writing condescending toward the culture the author is supposed to represent. Moreover, the main... more info

Customer Review:
I loved this book, although I started it three times (over a period of two years) before becoming thoroughly engaged. After that, I looked forward to getting back to it every day and made sure to set aside a time and place to enjoy it, without interruption, as it took my full focus. I read the book... more info

8.[no image]The Corrections
from audible.com
Price: $18.38

Customer Review:
I have very mixed feelings about this book. I found it a very unpleasant read, although obviously well written, by a talented author.
On the downside, these were among the most pathetic, unsympathetic characters I can remember meeting in a book in a long time. The main characters are the... more info

10.Mini-Lessons for Literature CirclesMini-Lessons for Literature Circles
from Heinemann
Price: $24.30

Customer Review:
The premise behind this book is great. I was hoping to have some instant lessons to use with my fourth grade students. While some of the lessons are adaptable to that age, the activities are really designed for high school classes.
