| | 1. |  | Watchmen
from DC Comics
Price: $10.99
Customer Review:
I read this series in 86-87 when it was first released. We waited rather impatiently for each new issue to arrive and weren't disappointed.
Until the end.
Not for one minute do I believe that Alan Moore didn't know that the ending was a rip-off of the Outer Limits episode. We were all... more info

| | 3. |  | Fahrenheit 451
from Del Rey
Price: $6.99
Customer Review:
I purchased this book for my teenaged son to do an English class book report. He was impressed by the way the author was able to imagine the future considering this was written in 1953. I do not recommend for under the high school level.

| | 4. |  | The Secret Life of Bees
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I surveyed my class and 80% gave it two thumbs up: 5 stars. That's 28 out of 35 students. The rest of the class gave it an OK: 3 or 4 stars. So my giving it 5 stars has been backed by research into the general public's taste. ;=)
Now, I'm not much for spending time on fiction. I don't need... more info

| | 5. |  | Things Fall Apart: A Novel
from Anchor
Price: $8.76
Customer Review:
This is probably the worst book I've ever read. It's very difficult to follow and leaves out much which could explain to the uninitiate the point of the book. As someone who has read thousands of books (literally!), I found this one stilted and forced, unreadable, pointless, unpleasant, poor... more info

| | 6. |  | How Fiction Works
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $14.40
Customer Review:
This is a dazzling guide to how the mechanisms of the novel originated and developed. It is an exemplary model of how to correlate style and subject matter. It offers inspiration to the novelist and a refreshed sense that fiction matters to those of us who just enjoy reading novels. The book is... more info

| | 8. |  | Catch-22
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
Why is this a so-called "classic"? Got me. I have no idea. Another reviewer said that you could skip chapters and not miss anything. I agree. I first attempted this novel a few years ago. I quit in less than 50 pages, so bored was I. I picked it up again recently, and I'm now less than 50 pages from... more info

| | 10. |  | The Stranger
from Vintage
Price: $8.76
Customer Review:
***SPOILER INCLUDED****
The story based around the deaths of Meursault's mother, a distant acquaintance of his, and his execution is ludicrous, yet the mindsets of the characters are strikingly real and fitting considering the situations that they are faced with.
The plot is just plain... more info
