| | 1. | [no image] | The Island of Doctor Moreau
from Bentley Pub
Customer Review:
H. G. Wells predates Sci-fiction. Most of his books in the field were written before the term was coined in the 1930s. Along with Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, and Robert Louis Stevenson, his work laid the foundation for almost every major form of Science Fiction. Just as many other books written since... more info

| | 2. |  | The Hobbit (Illustrated Edition)
from Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
Price: $15.50
Customer Review:
Exquisite! The voice actors were some of the best British actors of their time and don't disappoint. The background music is fabulous - very original. Listen with an open mind a few times - it always takes a little while to get used to something new. Then it is sure to become a favorite in the car... more info

| | 3. | [no image] | Heart of Darkness
from Bentley Pub
Price: $73.85
Customer Review:
Heart of Darkness is of course a great classic of Western literature and needs no summary or critique from me.
Nevertheless I could make some suggestions to readers coming to this work for the first time. It has many complexities and more than any other novel of Conrad's needs support by... more info

| | 4. | [no image] | Nineteen Eighty-Four
from Clarendon Pr
Customer Review:
Imagine a world where "freedom is slavery," "war is peace" and "ignorance is strength." The things we take for granted -- love and sexual relationships, a difference of opinion, private thoughts -- are taken away from you. Your nation (or in this case, the "Party") is your whole reason for being.... more info

| | 5. |  | The Lord of the Rings
from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $46.44
Customer Review:
I bought this set and had it sent to an inmate in a correctional facility in Florida. It apparently never arrived. This may have to do with prison policies on used books, but I never received any notice that the books had been returned or any reimbursement.

Customer Review:
Manor Farm is taken over by the resident farm animals in a revolution. The farmer is ousted off the property. From the initial communal society, a tyrant ruling class arises (the pigs).
Very insightful and more than a little distressing. A fitting allegory to Russian dictatorships or (I'm sad... more info

Customer Review:
When I was 10 years old, my Aunt Shirley gave me a copy of "The Complete Sherlock Holmes".....yes, at 10 years of age...I was enthralled with every single page. Some of the words I didn't know very well, and I sure didn't understand about drug addiction...heck, that was in the 1960's - but I became... more info
