| 11. | ![]() | Fahrenheit 451 (New Portway Large Print Books)
from G K Hall & Co
Customer Review:
While a good read with strong themes, I struggle to grasp why this book is considered such a "classic" by so many. I'll admit - I am no one to judge what a "classic" is, but it would be nice if someone could explain it to me - as there are other books out there that drive at similar points but are... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I kept hearing good things about this book so I finally picked it up and read it over Christmas break. Being a kids/young adult book, it was a fairly fast read. Still, because of the depth created in the world of the book, I tried to slow down my reading and take it all in.
The overall plot of... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $22.95
Customer Review:
I really enjoyed this book. I'm a fan of all of the percy jackson series. This book doesn't stand up to the others though. Once again percy goes out on an adventure, but this time he's going to get the mystical golden fleece before the protective borders of camp half-blood fade away. It's full of... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This is a great book for both adults, teens, and pre-teens. (Age 10+)
Original story unlike one I have read before. This is fiction, though, so you must keep an open mind when reading this book and the entire series. (For example, look at the cover and you will see that the girl has wings and... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 17. | ![]() | Nineteen Eighty-Four
from Ulverscroft Large Print
Customer Review:
The 'big brother' world of 1984 as imagined by George Orwell has only become more frightening with the passage of time. The Patriot Act, Guantanamo Bay, and the erosion of privacy in the last 10 years have all smacked of totalitarianism of the ilk presented in this science fiction classic. It's not... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from G. K. Hall & Company
Customer Review:
Vonnegut's novel takes the reader into the myriad faces of human emotions--from disenchantment to awe, skepticism to empathy, from horror and madness to succor and redemption. This dryly humorous and unforgivingly scathing story of the seemingly inevitable tendency of humans to think up of ways to... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Thorndike Press
Price: $10.95
Customer Review:
Beautiful prose, with lots of description. I think I would have enjoyed the story more if it had moved a bit faster, but I did enjoy the author's style, and the characters were well developed. The ending was a bit of a let-down for me. I didn't realize it was a series, but it didn't engage me enough... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 20. | ![]() | The Phantom Tollbooth (Large Print)
from G K Hall & Co
Customer Review:
The phantom tollbooth has been one of my favorite books since the fourth grade, when my teacher read it to the class. We'd sit on the floor, or in desks, or wherever; at an age when most of us were growing out of being read aloud to, Mr. Vogel gave us great memories. He'd read things that, at our... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
