1.The HelpThe Help
from Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam
Price: $10.00

Customer Review:
I started reading THE HELP because it was on the NY TIMES list and was available at my local library. To my surprise, I found it a page turner. Although I couldn't relate to help in the South, as I lived in Detroit when I was growing up, we did have black maids every other week or so. I know we paid... more info

from Center Point Large Print
Price: $28.75

Customer Review:
Very absorbing story that drew you into the character's lives. Believable, dramatic, heart stopping and heart rendering. The best of humanity and the worst of humanity woven together to tell a story of the depth of love and the ugliness of hate. I think what I most appreciated about this novel is... more info

3.Wolf Hall: A NovelWolf Hall: A Novel
from Henry Holt and Co.
Price: $11.74

Customer Review:
I don't read much fiction, but the good reviews attracted me to this one. Being a college professor, much of what I read is motivated by what the information in the book will contribute to my classes. This novel delivered. It conveys a really authentic picture of those times. And, although lacking... more info

4.The Lacuna CD: A NovelThe Lacuna CD: A Novel
from HarperAudio
Price: $23.00

Customer Review:
I struggled with this book, but the payoff made it worthwhile. Having no interest in this slice of history (Kahlo, Rivera, Trotsky, Communism, etc) I decided to stop reading at about page 75. But, I found myself picking the book up just for the pleasure of reading a couple more pages of Kingsolver's... more info

from Harper
Price: $13.24

Customer Review:
I could not wait for this book to come out. Every day I checked to see if it was at our store so that I could check it out and get a jump start on the world. Well, the powers that be were trying to teach me patience and I had to wait until late Monday night. When I saw it I was surprised that it was... more info

6.The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie SocietyThe Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
from The Dial Press
Price: $5.50

Customer Review:
This book was represented online as "new" and yet arrived with a rather large red dot mark on bottom pages of book. I was hesitant to, and did not, give it as the gift I had intended.

7.Jane Austen s Pride and PrejudiceJane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
from Tark Classic Fiction
Price: $6.64

Customer Review:
This particular edition is a children's version of Pride and Prejudice, not the true book: it is geared for readers age 9-12 and is only 48 pages long.A good way to intruduce youger kids to a classic and more loved by girls then boys in my opinion.

from Center Point Pub
Price: $27.96

Customer Review:
"Half-Broke Horses" by Jeannette Walls
There is something off-putting for me about this "true-life novel" regards both continuity and tone. Though Ms. Walls writes that ". . . the only honest thing was to call this book a novel", she presages this by assuring us in an afterword that the central... more info

10.An Echo in the Bone: A Novel (Outlander)An Echo in the Bone: A Novel (Outlander)
from Delacorte Press
Price: $15.30

Customer Review:
Only Ms. Gabaldon can give us 5 stories in one book (perhaps there were more, I counted 5). The way she weaves them altogether, and then leaves us hanging (!!!) - which, btw - she does this in Every Book - only makes me want more, more, more. Any author who can give me all 5 senses in one sentence... more info
