| 3. | ![]() | Nineteen Eighty-Four
from Clarendon Pr
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

This novel is an amazing piece of literature. It centers around the dealings of a young man, approx. 15-16 years old, involved in gangs in the not too distant future.

from Harcourt
Customer Review:
After reading some lighter fiction, I decided to delve into something deeper, a novel by Virginia Woolf. I located the tattered copy from my school days and took a deep breath. Here is another phenomenal book by Virginia Woolf. Published in 1927, To the Lighthouse broke new ground and Virginia Woolf... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from MacMillan Publishing Company
Customer Review:
I have been reading alot of sci-fi lately - Wells, Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, Niven, Orwell, Card - I am afraid Lewis just doesn't come close. Characters, plot, setting, style - you name it I feel he just fell far short with this book. Disappointing since this book is listed in many of the top sci-fi... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from BBC Audiobooks
Price: $30.36
Customer Review:
This was a great read and I am so glad I found it. The first two chapters are slow, so give it a chance to at least get through those (I noticed some readers gave up way too soon!). I read the book in a couple of days' time. The book is to me, not a romance, though it is labeled as such. There are... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Everyman's Library
Price: $11.56
Customer Review:
Unlike many reviewers, I was not conned into reading this book for some sort of academic project, but rather for personal enjoyment. I expected nothing more than another great work by George Orwell, whose book 1984 was nothing short of a masterpiece. But let me tell you, Animal Farm is a disgrace.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Everyman's Library
Price: $14.04
Customer Review:
The style and execution of Mrs. Dalloway is of necessity a departure from her famous essay, A Room of One's Own, and even from the smattering of the short stories of hers I've read, and normally the comparison many make of it to James Joyce's Ulysses would have turned me right off. I'm glad I gave... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 10. | ![]() | Perelandra (Hudson River Editions)
from Scribner
Customer Review:
Lewis continues strongly the work he began in "Out of the Silent Planet." This volume contains even more overt morality and spiritual content than its predecessor. In this book, Lewis crafts a masterful tale of good and evil, human nature, and the reality of the unseen world. Lewis' rich imagination... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
