Customer Review:
A friend and I were talking a few months back about Madame Nobel Laureate, Toni, and why we both shake our heads at the dismissal of a truly brave artist such as Alice Walker. So what am I doing on this page other than I couldn't help but give this new, slender novel a read?(--which is exactly what... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Just After Sunset: Stories
from Simon & Schuster Audio
Price: $31.49
Customer Review:
This book is a collection of short stories by the "Master of Short Stories." Most of these are very good and I wished they were longer. I found only a couple that I didn't get into; hence 4 instead of 5 stars. Must read for all King fans!

Customer Review:
My wife has read this book. She noemally does not like the short-story approach, but this one she thought was very good. We have some friends that were in the same situation and the book really tells the story of trheir problems.

from Brilliance Audio Unabridged Lib Ed
Price: $67.34
Customer Review:
I really hated this book - after seeing all the glowing reviews, I rushed out to get it. Naturally, another crummy book endorsed by Oprah! I could not stand Olive, nor it seems could anyone else in her town. If you can't stand the main character, then the book is hard to enjoy. I also could not... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This book was so well written. Shocking, surprising, emotional to say the least, risk taking, adventure, strong, strong emotions. I read this not knowing anything about the book and could nott put this book down. Get it! Read it! You will not be dissapointed in the least. Then read his other book, A... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Hachette Audio
Price: $17.81
Customer Review:
It is hard to pick one set of stars for a book that is full of different essays. I would give some of the essays 4 stars, others 3, and maybe even some 2s. If I look at the book as a whole, I liked it. There are a few stories that stick out -- like Santaland Diaries (about Sedaris' stint as an Elf... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Atria
Price: $17.79
Customer Review:
No, this is not the sequel to The Coldest Winter Ever, the title says that. This is Midnights life story and it will be continued based on how it ended. It was a good read, but I hate she didn't just give a ending. It is long, but was good. | 3.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Life of Pi
from Canongate Pub Ltd
Customer Review:
If I could find a couple words to describe this novel, they would be the words "philosophical", "deep", or "exciting". The main reason for this is the point of view. Pi, the main character, is a practicing Hindu, Christian, AND Muslim ALL AT THE SAME TIME. So when faced with a life or death... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
