This novel is gracefully written and keep the reader flipping through chapters. Each character is so rich and integral. The way the author describes the baseball is so fluent and catches how graceful our main character is on the field. Simply a fantastic surprise when I read it. Best book I have read in quite some time.

Collins does not disappoint in her 2nd part of the Hunger games Trilogy. This is my favorite book of the 3, and quite action packed with twists and turns. Not to mention a few surprises on the horizon. I really can't see how the movie will hold up to this book. A definite must read.

Love him or hate him he's usually right. if you have never read him, or are put off by what he says. Do your self a favor and read it and judge for yourself. Its quite interesting the points he raises.

Dan Brown redeemed himself in this book after Angels and Demons for me. A very well done 3rd book in the Langdon series. If you enjoyed Da Vinci Code, then you will very much enjoy this novel. The pages practically turn themselves and before you know it its over and leaves you wanting more. Always a good thing about a book i feel

I read this book to read a classic, and although some of the prose is long and at times boring. That being said I loved this book, and Its a classic and should be read by all.

Dennis Miller and his rants are hilarious. In a world of over PC nonsense he is a breath of fresh air. His takes on daily things we do in life is absolutely brilliant. You will not be disappointed and you will laugh your ass off.

The book is beautifully written but sadly this does not over come its shortcomings. The ending is rather predictable, as I had it figured out about halfway through. I bought this after reading Atonement, and its a far cry from that book. It was on people's must read list,and won awards, but it wasn't my cup of tea.

has a few good stories that almost make up for the length of this book. Overall its a little mundane, but there are a few tales not to be missed.

This is quite the interesting read, and a fantastic read. Can be mind numbing at first and do not recommend for early morning in reading unless you have had your first cup of coffee. Haha. But it tells the other half of the global warming/climate change argument. I know people ask why would you read this, and I say to them I want to be educated from both angles and let me draw my own conclusion. Its a very interesting topic and a very well done book.
