| 1. |  | Revolutionary Road (Movie Tie-in Edition) (Vintage Contemporaries)
from Vintage
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
I just finished this book. I've given it three stars because to Yates' credit, it's a well written, vividly descriptive book--about a bunch of miserable people who stubbornly insist on being unhappy. Frank and April Wheeler are a married couple who would have been better off as lovers for no more... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Center Point Large Print
Price: $33.27
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

| 4. |  | The Secret Life of Bees
from Thorndike Press
Customer Review:
I was raised in the South - white - and find this a fascinating concept. Enjoyed the book - our book club read it. Warm but not syrupy. Uplifting. Has some tension that ends satisfactorily. Interesting tid-bits about bees also. Find I keep writing the next book in the series in my mind. Guess I... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Wheeler Publishing
Price: $20.76
Customer Review:
I read this book because of the reviews it received here on amazon.com. I finished the book and have to say I enjoyed the writing, which is why I'm rating it three stars. But it left me scratching my head wondering why I finished. It was mostly boring. Perhaps I saw small glimpses where I thought I... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I read this book in record time, 2 days-while on a Disney World vacation with my husband. I read it while waiting in line for rides...when I should have been enjoying the scenery of Disney and my husband's company. Well, then HE picked up the book and couldn't put it down....he is a physician and a... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | In the Woods (Thorndike Large Print Crime Scene)
from Thorndike Press
Price: $29.95
Customer Review:
While I enjoyed much of this book, as it became clearer and clearer towards the end that the most compelling reason to keep reading (a 20 yr old murder mystery) would not even be explained, I truly was incredulous. The reader is given many hints as to the who, what, and how of this 20 year old case,... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Fight Club: A Novel
from Holt Paperbacks
Customer Review:
I find it inexplicable that some of my smartest friends love this book.
I only read the first 30 pages of this book. However, this does not make me ineligible for a review. This is one of very few books that I have found so unentertaining and devoid of literary merit that I chose not to finish... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I am an Anita Shreve fan. The Weight of Water and The Pilot's Wife are two of my very favorite books. I really enjoy her style of writing and Testimony is no different. It is very well written and the way she tells the story from all the different viewpoints is really interesting. However, there is... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
