Customer Review:
"Olympics that Changed The World." Huh?
Once again ... "Olympics That Changed The World." What the?

I really liked this book; however, it was more of an almanac than a picture book. Very cool.

In a recent survey of my school students, grades K through 4, Magic Tree House books won hands down as the favorite, with a strong showing in all five grade levels.

French version is great, one of my favorite comics. English version is plain boring. They translated the words, not the fun.

from Rodale Books
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
Not everything Natalie has to say shows everyone in the best of light; that's because not everyone is exactly a "great" person. This is her book and her story--if she felt someone mistreated her or did this or that wrong, she's entitled to say. All of this is part of why she is the great athlete she... more info

from Ballantine Books
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
I am a big fan of David Halberstam. Like his other books, this one was well written, but I just could not get into the subject matter. The main characters that he follows were uninteresting and pretty one dimnesional in their rowing obsession. Halberstam seems to worship their dedication to a sport... more info

The Wonder Crew is simply put--a great read. It is well written, historically interesting, and brings together politics, sports, WWI and WWII.

from Seven Stories Press
Price: $11.03

Customer Review:
This book aims at making a profit with the current trend of China bashing across the globe. With this objective, the selected contents are obviously biased, and even questionable to some extent.
This is not a book for anyone who wants to look at China from holistic perspectives that come from... more info
