| 12. |  | Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog
from Thorndike Press
Price: $14.93
Customer Review:
One of the sweetest tales I have listened to in awhile. Love the fact that it's narrated by the author...this adds to the genuine feeling of the story. Have not seen the movie, but after the book, I am content with the tale I have been told. I recommend this for people of all ages...especially... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 13. |  | The White Tiger: A Novel (Man Booker Prize)
from Free Press
Price: $8.40
Customer Review:
I would suggest that if one is even faintly familiar with Indian culture, one's understanding and enjoyment of White Tiger is enhanced. Were I unfamiliar with the culture, I would have enjoyed the book, but with less comprehension of the circumstances of it. Similar to the movie Slumdog Millionaire.... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 14. |  | The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
from Riverhead Trade
Price: $7.95
Customer Review:
This book was recommended by several people and I read great things about it online. However, I felt it was incredibly overrated and no where near the previous Pulitzer Prize winner (The Road). It was painful to get through. The lack of Spanish translations and long pointless footnotes drove me... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 15. |  | The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
from Quercus Publishing Plc
Price: $19.92
Customer Review:
This is probably the best book I have read since The Devil in the White City. I couldn't put it down and it has all the elements I look for in a good book! Mikhael Bloomvist (excuse me if I misspell any names because they are all Swedish) is in a desperate spot and then asked by a wealthy elderly... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Harper
Price: $17.97
Customer Review:
Attention! Attention! Everybody out of the pool. Wally Lamb has jumped the shark!
And boy did he ever.
His characters encounter Columbine, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina an the regular gambit of an author who has obviously at this time run out of ideas.
And the book is long. Long and... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Little, Brown and Company
Price: $18.47
Customer Review:
If you have been waiting for a fiction writer to bring you up to speed on current events in the world today, then you might enjoy this book. If you were looking for an interesting or cohesive narrative, look elsewhere. And if you enjoy this series, beware, for the Alex Cross you know and love is... more info | 2.5 / 5.0

| 18. |  | 2666: A Novel
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $18.00
Customer Review:
This work, by one of a handful of brilliant writers, spans the whole of the imagination. Clearly without equal, the late Robeto Bolano, has made concrete dreams and razor edged light seem commonplace. Pervasive, funny and savage all at the same instant | 4.5 / 5.0

| 19. |  | A New Earth: Awakening To Your Life's Purpose
from Thorndike Press
Customer Review:
I have read the book and am now in the process of listening to the book on CD's. Wow - I can relate to most everything Eckhart speaks to, but I am struggling with the "how" - how to put it into practice. I am going to be joining an "Eckhart Tolle" discussion group this week and hope to gain more... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 20. |  | Just After Sunset: Stories
from Scribner
Price: $18.48
Customer Review:
To begin with, at the risk of sounding like Annie Wilkes from "Misery", I am one of Stephen King's biggest fans and have read & own everything by him. This being said, I am extremely disappointed with his latest release, "Just After Sunset".
This mostly depressing tome of work deals with... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
