| | 1. | [no image] | The Secret Life of Bees
from Books on Tape
Customer Review:
The Secret Life of Bees is one of those books that is always talked about yet might not be as good as people say it is. You don't really know until you read it yourself. It has reached such a high pedestal in today's literature that it might just be hype. But it is certainly not. This novel was one... more info

from Picador
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
I really enjoyed the historical aspect of the book - Detroit through most of the 1900's, Turkey and Greece in the early 1900's. I also learned a lot and it made me much more sympathetic to gender issues brought out in the book. Having said that I wish it could have been about 200 pages shorter. I... more info

from Avon
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
I was very disappointed in this book. It is not up to the level of Jodi Piccoult's other novels. The storyline lacked believablity, the writing was poor, some of the characters were either cardboard cutouts or unrealistic (and one in particular was lifted from The Rainman), and the book needed... more info

from Harcourt
Customer Review:
Blum is an excellent storyteller - I highly recommend this historical novel chosen by my book group for its fall selection. Each character became lifelike and it was hard to put the book down as I quickly read chapter after chapter. The reader is given the civilian German's look at the Nazi era. If... more info

Customer Review:
Absolutely one of the best books I have read in a long time. I believe that Leif Enger is the finest american author the come on the scene since Steinbeck - even better!! His book SO YOUNG,BRAVE ,AND HANDSOME is another triumph. I anxiously await for another book by Mr. Enger.

| | 8. |  | The Poisonwood Bible
from HarperCollins
Price: $17.16
Customer Review:
This powerful novel by Barbara Kingsolver charts the lives of a missionary family and portrays the interplay of good intentions and motives warped by dogma. One ends up with an aching wonder ... what was changed, by whom and who or what prevailed!

| | 10. |  | The Namesake (movie tie-in edition)
from Mariner Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
The Namesake, the first novel by Jhumpa Lahiri, is written
in a deceptively simple style. It is a very well crafter novel that
both explores the role of Indians in America, and tells the
story of a family over several decades.
Unfortunately, I have to say that I was somewhat... more info
