1.[no image]F. Scott Fitzgerald's the Great Gatsby (Modern Critical Interpretations)
from Chelsea House Publications

Customer Review:
This is not a bad book but it doesn't have the compelling story to me. I found the author very capable of crafting words, but I did not sense a "I can't wait to know" moments. Of course like all classics you have to over look the vernacular. The author also used a few words that I was not familiar... more info

2.[no image]Things Fall Apart
from Holt Rinehart & Winston
Price: $16.42

Customer Review:
I absolutely HATED reading this book. I respect it as a very popular piece of literature, but in truth I spent more time sounding out all of the names in this then actually reading it!

3.The Catcher in the RyeThe Catcher in the Rye
from Back Bay Books
Price: $11.19

Customer Review:
I don't see how so many people rated this book so highly. I spent precious time reading this, that I'll never get back. If you want to waste your time reading about some stupid, snotty kid's boring experience in New York, then go ahead, read it. This book is not a classic and all copies should be... more info

4.Fahrenheit 451Fahrenheit 451
from Ballantine Books
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
In Ray Bradbury's classic, Farenheit 451, he describes a terrifying but all-too-real world of sensory overload and thought-depravity. Guy Montag is a fireman, but this fire brigade doesn't put out fires (for houses are fire proofed with plastic coatings), but instead starts them, burning houses (and... more info

5.The Giver (Newbery Medal Book)The Giver (Newbery Medal Book)
from Houghton Mifflin/Walter Lorraine Books
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

This book was great for a few reasons...
Theme - a utopian society will always be relevant and always be thought provoking. Especially when its well written like The Giver is. I find the theme to be incredibly interesting, especially since I have only ever read one other similar novel... more info

8.William Golding s Lord of the Flies (Bloom s Modern Critical Interpretations)William Golding's Lord of the Flies (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)
from Bloom's Literary Criticism
Price: $40.50

Customer Review:
I had to read this book while I was in high school and thought it was just OK. I just reread it on my own and now that I'm an adult, it touched me more deeply. The bullying and cruelty these boys exhibit, the casual schadenfreude that escalates into violence, had a greater impact on me this time... more info

9.Pride and PrejudicePride and Prejudice
from Topeka Bindery
Price: $13.45

Customer Review:
This novel begins with one of the most recognizable lines in literary history: "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." With that begins, perhaps, the most copied plot-line in human history. Sisters Elizabeth and Jane... more info

10.Brave New WorldBrave New World
from HarperPerennial

Customer Review:
I purchased Brave New World after reading 1984, and while I must confess that I enjoyed Orwell's book just a little bit more, Huxley's work was still an immediately compelling read. I think what I liked best was just how "british" this future was, by which I mean, everything seemed so very posh and... more info
