| 1. |  | The Places In Between
from Harvest Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I read this book right after having seen "Charlie Wilson's War", so the impact on my knowledge of Afghanistan is probably influenced by the light and ironic interpretation of the movie.

| 2. |  | Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
from DK Travel
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
Not a bad guide, decent overview of all the sites and also cultural aspects of Egypt. My major complaint is that the maps are terrible. There is only one actual map, and it is only of Cairo (East of the Nile). So if you're staying in Giza (Cairo west of the Nile) you are kind of out of luck.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Shadow of the Silk Road (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
Thubron's prose seems tired compared to some of his earlier writing, almost as if he's forcing himself to write well. On occasion, it results in prose on the darker end of purple, very stilted to a modern ear (or at least to my ear). My larger criticism has to do with the lenses through which he... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This is a great book for kids who enjoy interactive creative reads. The extras are always nice to accompany these books. The Egyptology book was snapped up by my students and they loved it.

| 10. |  | Oliver Twist (Oxford World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $6.95
Customer Review:
When I started reading Oliver Twist, it was an assignment for school and nothing more. However, I was soon intrigued by little Oliver, a quiet, naturally pleasant little boy, and who is apparently a magnet for bad company and lives in a workhouse. I wondered how he could remain so sweet and childish... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
