The words are presented in this attractive book with not only their pronunciation help, but also with a humourous cartoon drawing and used in a sentence.
Even the most erudite English scholars probably use only a small percentage of the language in expressing their thoughts. What a waste that so many good words lie dormant, but these valid words enrich the English language.

This book is the most intense, tension-building, suspenseful book that I have read in recent memory. I have read most of the books written by Greg Iles and this has to be the best.
I could not bear to put the book down so even though it is a few more than 400 pages, I read it in 24 hours even while getting a few hours of sleep in the middle. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a thrilling page-turner.

This is the full-color edition of the classic Aesop with the original illustrations by Milo Winter.
The unique collection features 126 of the best-loved fables, including such favorites as "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse," "The Ants and the Grasshopper," "The Goose and the Golden Egg," "The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing," and "The Hare and the Tortoise." All the wonderful and amusing animal characters appear in this colorful edition.
Aesop's fables retain the widespread appeal that has kept them alive for centuries. Parents and grandparents who relished these tales as children can pass them on to a new generation to appreciate and enjoy.
These stories end with a moral, some with more than one.

This is the introductory Alex Cross book. Patterson certainly knows how to write a thriller that will keep you turning the pages, perhaps even keep you up late into the night. His charactors are real people. Alex is a very well-drawn personality and tells the story in the first person.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes thrilling mysteries.

Too often when a famous person writes his/her autobiography, they emphasize only what makes them look best. Patricia Neal has written in full about the "warts" and all. At times she certainly did not make the best personal decisions, but even so, she has been, can be and she will continue to be an inspiration to many.
She worked diligently to come back after suffering three strokes. She had to learn to speak again. Then she used her experiences to inspire other stroke victims to overcome their limitations.
She writes in such a way that I found myself turning the pages as if this were a suspenseful novel.

This is #4 of the Myron Bolitar series. Myron is in Pennsylvania for the US Open Golf Tournament.
Golf + revenge + sex + murder = another thrilling story. I loved the book.

Here is a two-fer; the first two books in the Harry Bosch series. You get both books for just one point. Lots of tense excitement, really good writing. Michael Connelly really delivers.

It is no wonder that Harlan Coben has won so many awards. Deal Breaker is the first of the series featuring Myron Bolitar, the sports agent who hates his first name with a passion. Few are the mystery novels with witty lines such as this series has. Try it; you will enjoy it.

I loved this book, in fact, I loved all three books in this series (to date). I'm hoping that there will be more books written in the series because I really learned to care about the characters and want to know what happens next!

My daughter recommended this author to me a few years back. After reading one or two of her more current books, I wanted to read MORE. This volume doubled my pleasure, allowing me to use just one credit to read two really good thrillers. I recommend it heartily. Both are really good stories.
