You're better off buying a Skateboard from a website that actually markets Skateboarding (CCS, SkateWarehouse). Not the best setup, yet not the worst. First off, this setup is quite heavy for a Skateboard, meaning pulling off tricks will be harder. Since the weight of this board will immediately go down whenever you tr...

I thought it would work to help reduce the appearance of cellulite because it said it had the caffeine cream in it. I used it all religiously, wanting to finally end my war with cellulite and it didn't work. Extremely disappointed.

As other reviewers have pointed out, you can find wonder and joy in "A Trip to the Stars." It is a beautiful book, and I could sing its praises for hours. But what impressed me most about it was its use of repeating images, themes, and colors.There are stars all over this book - in the sky, in the seeds of fruit, in ...

I loved one of Nicholas Christopher's other books,A Trip To The Stars: A Novel. It was a complex book that was moving, beautiful and thoughtful. It used the repetition of images and reoccurring themes to create a rich, interweaving tapestry.I read "Franklin Flyer," hoping it would be equally incredible. It didn't li...

I'm going to find it very hard to review this book honestly, for two reasons: 1. I don't think I belong to this book's target audience. 2.

On the plus side, this was a very engaging book with fun characters that I grew to appreciate. Also, the book made me want to keep reading, made me curious, and did a good job describing its characters' emotions.On the negative side, it was too hard for me to believe that the lead character's website became so famous....

I feel both connected to the characters and distant from them. For the most part, I don't think the way they do, and their lifestyles and behaviors are worlds apart from my own. And yet, I found numerous passages, scattered throughout the book, to which I related completely. I had very strong responses to some of th...

If you want an accurate account of Marlon Brando's life, look elsewhere. Anna Kashfi Brando had psychological/emotional issues, and it seems very likely that they distorted her view of reality. She also possessed very strong feelings for Brando, and her book often seems unable to look past her biases. It is impossib...

I appreciated this author's approach to anthropomorphization. The animals in his stories talk, think, and experience human emotion, but they are still quite bestial. The lives of many forest animals are uncertain, violent, and fraught with danger, and no animal is guaranteed a long life. In "Pork," characters I came...

I bought this book because a reviewer compared it to Salinger's "The Catcher in The Rye." I was disappointed.

It was not brilliant, it did not make me reconsider my life or goals, its writing was ...

While I enjoyed these stories, they don't come close, in quality, to much of Fitzgerald's earlier work. While some of these stories are funny, and while some possess excellent sentences and great, interesting images, none of them shine like "The Great Gatsby" or "The Diamond As Big As The Ritz." When I first finished...

This is a short story, set in huge type, and will only take an hour or two to read. So don't spend $9 on this book.
