| | 1. | [no image] | Middlesex, Spanish Edition
from Editorial Anagrama
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

| | 2. |  | Outlander
from Topeka Bindery
Price: $15.60
Customer Review:
Outlander is a title that I've had several people tell me I need to read, but I just put it in the back of my mind as a dated historical romance until this tag. I wish that I had read this book when it first came out (granted, I would have been nine years old), because then the novelty of time... more info

| | 3. |  | A Breath of Snow and Ashes (Outlander)
from Delacorte Press
Price: $18.48
Customer Review:
The series hould have ended before this volume. It's bloated, repetitive, boring, and self-indulgent, not a cohesive story but a collection of vignettes, often unrelated to the main characters we know and love. A sharp editor should have sliced this huge book in half.

| | 4. |  | The Fiery Cross
from Doubleday of Canada
Customer Review:
In the review section of this item, several people mentioned that the book was long (all books in the Outlander series are long) and tedious. I considered skipping it and going straight to Snow and Ashes. There is an Outlander site and so many people siad "Do not skip. Too much happens". Actually,... more info

| | 6. |  | Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA
from Feral House
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
Highly technical, but ultimately well worth the purchase price... however, it raises a host of new questions regarding NASA's TRUE purposes behind missions to both the moon and Mars.
Obviously thoroughly researched, this book is quite frankly critical of NASA, and will surely create doubts in... more info

| | 7. | [no image] | Grendel
from G K Hall & Co
Customer Review:
I'm disturbed by the amount of people bashing _Grendel_. It's simply an amazing novel. Perhaps those offering sour reviews simply misunderstand the novel--Gardner, from my reading, isn't really attempting a retelling of the _Beowulf_ story. Instead, he's attempting to cast a philosophical statement... more info

| | 9. | [no image] | Stardust
from Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media
Customer Review:
If you like fantasy stories filled with magic, adventure and romance, but are getting sick and tired of boring, long-winded fantasy epics, then look no further than "Stardust." There are no long histories, family trees or endless descriptions of culture, landscapes and back-story. This is just a... more info

| | 10. |  | The Once and Future King
from Ace
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
I loved how detailed and orginal the story was. It's like T.H. White instead of trying to tell the complete story of King Arthur, takes little snippets of the parts he thought were particularly interesting or wonderful and makes them beautiful and rich with life and meaning. His words are full of... more info
