This was recommended by a friend, and I'm glad I took her up on it. Written about 40 years ago, it's a time travel story that includes your basic shadowy government agency, a love story woven throughout, and intricate detail. Believe it or not, that l...more |

Three short novels in one volume. The first one was interesting. The second...not as much. The third...a stretch. I get that these were written a long, long time ago, and as such are considered classics in the genre, but I probably should have quit af...more |

I really enjoyed Hunger Games. The fact that this was the same story (which not too many people mention) is a bit frustrating. So, you liked the battle the first time around? Well, let's try that again. Personally, I would've enjoyed a tale OUTSIDE th...more |

| I loved the premise (boy raised in graveyard by ghosts), but just couldn't stay interested very long. I'm a big fan of Gaiman, but this one fell a bit short for me. | |

| For many it's considered heresy to even dream that boys and girls might - gasp! - be wired differently. Kudos to Michael Gurian for shrugging off the rants of the PC crowd to tell it like it is. I've worked with students for almost 20 years, and I ch...more | |

| It's refreshing to see a book about the rigors of space travel that's written by a civilian. We're used to these volumes being penned by NASA experts (which is fine), but Mary Roach has a unique way of telling us what it's like to throw up in your sp...more | |
