1.Life of Pi: Deluxe Illustrated EditionLife of Pi: Deluxe Illustrated Edition
from Harcourt
Price: $9.20

Customer Review:
This is a truly beautifully written book and an amazing story. I love animals and this story provides such a wealth of fascinating insight into animal behaviour. I know it is not a new publication, but this made no difference to the tale, plus the illustrations are wonderful. What a great value also... more info

2.Life of PiLife of Pi
from Harvest Books
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
The premise is interesting -- a man and a tiger aboard a small lifeboat. The novel, however, gets very tedious. And the end with the insurance adjusters (who come across as Laurel & Hardy) was unbelievable. The book was entertaining at times, but not worth finishing.

3.The Satanic Verses: A NovelThe Satanic Verses: A Novel
from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $12.80

Customer Review:
My wife commented drily as she saw me reading this day after day that it was probably one of the least read bestsellers. Two decades after its controversial release, does this novel merit the considerable attention it demands from any reader taking on over five-hundred pages of often densely... more info

4.In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship EssexIn the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex
from Viking Adult
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
Philbrick is a good writer. Sometimes I felt pulled between the history of Nantucket, an inside look into whaling and the story of the Essex. Each is interesting and deserves its own book. The story of the Essex is incredibly powerful, and I feel that Philbrick treated the terrible survival... more info

from Random House
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:
The authors present the story of adventure and crises in an honest and compelling fashion. The identity of each of the family members is written so as to provide an asymmetrical perspective of their joy, hardships, and terror while on the journey. The back story of the family is woven into the... more info

from Ballantine Books
Price: $7.50

Customer Review:
Even though most people seem to know the outcome. (I didn't) it was a great summer read. There is still some question as to how the sub got there but who cares? This book is not about the US Navy doing an archeology study, it's about a couple of guys who love to dive who get a hold of a story and go... more info

from Random House Books for Young Readers
Price: $3.99

Customer Review:
My son and I really enjoyed this story, and we have the paperback at home. His first grade teacher had been looking in bookstores for this book and couldn't find it, so we ordered it for her. We ordered the library binding, which is sturdier for all the little hands it will be held by! This book has... more info

I was a fan of "Brave New World" as well as Huxley himself and without hesitation picked up this enlightening book. I believe this book invokes numerous topics of discussion be it politics, capitalism, individuality, spirituality, etc. I personally feel out of all those components I listed above... more info

from Delacorte Press
Price: $17.82

Customer Review:
I must admit, being a big Danielle Steele fan, I have been disappointed in her last few books. But Amazing Grace is a real hit! I couldn't put it down! I read it in two days. She doesnt repeat herself all the time in this book as she does in previous books. It's solid story from cover to cover. I... more info

10.The Tempest (Folger Shakespeare Library)The Tempest (Folger Shakespeare Library)
from Washington Square Press
Price: $5.99

Customer Review:
I like Shakespeare, but the Bard was having an off day with this one.
It rambled, it didn't have the down-to-earth feel of his better stuff, it had the passion of a comedy and the humor of a romance; it was tepid. It felt contrived thoughout. It would probably be a splendid opera, with the... more info
