5 | great! | I am pretty impressed by this book. Not only does it have plenty of space to write/review and rate the books you read, but it also had sections for quotes, reading trees, classics and at the back of the book it gives you a list of literature you might want to read, all neatly arranged in categories. The book is hardcov... | [] | 0307465373 | 0307465373 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,359,149,729,000 | 11 | true |
5 | Shocked by how great it was | I certainly will not complain about self published authors, I love them and their works. They have guts. What I will say, is that I am surprised this book has not been picked up yet by a major publisher. This book in well crafted on all accounts. It is immensely readable, and will grab your attention and refuse to rele... | [] | 1475121075 | 1475121075 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,359,148,156,000 | 5 | true |
3 | not life altering but okay | I certainly wouldn't take this book seriously. Some of the material was funny, some of it was boring and a few parts were completely stupid. I did get a couple of giggles out of this book. In some ways it reminded me of something that would have come out of a Farside cartoon strip.

3 | well, okay | The story is pretty interesting, but the plot didn't seem all that original to me. I think this might be enjoyable to older elementary kids, but it seemed a little juvenile for a teen audience. The characters were okay and there was enough action in the book to capture and keep the attention of a child.

4 | Quite the adventure for the soul seeker | This book has so many different components that make it fun to read, it would be impossible to list them all. This is more than the story of one man's journey to find himself and the truth about life. It is so much more. I loved the characters the author created, and you can't help but fall into step with the main char... | [] | 0615647391 | 0615647391 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,359,064,775,000 | 1 | true |
4 | The kind of fiction that makes you forget it's fictional | Wow! I really liked this book. I have a fascination with all things Lincoln, and this book fed the appetite.

5 | Another excellent book for children | I recently read and reviewed another book by Dana Lehman and Judy Lehman entitled "I Double Dare You!" and it was simply wonderful. This one is no exception to that standard of excellence. This is the kind of book that I want my children to be reading. There are so many things to love about these books.

5 | Five stars is just not enough! | Having four children, I read a lot of kid's books. I was immediately impressed with this story.

4 | Different than what I expected, but good | This book is well written, but with A LOT of detail paid to the surroundings and descriptions.

3 | 3.5 a good first attempt | I did not find that the editing in this book was bad, nor that it made reading the book difficult for me.

3 | not my favorite | I just didn't feel this one. I love this series of books and this is a great author, but this book didn't really motivate me all that much to want to turn the pages.

5 | Incredible | Recently I have seen a lot of nature related books for kids. There is absolutely no comparison to this one.

4 | great for anytime | This is a great anytime book for young children.

4 | Cute and fun for little ones | This book is very cute. The little rabbit gets the chance to prove his worth by the end of the book and the reason for his name is very creative and original.

3 | somewhat off-putting | I liked this author a lot and have read quite a few of her books. What was she thinking when she wrote this one? I am a firm believer that romance should only be classified as romance if it is romantic. This is on the verge of being kicked out of that category in my opinion.

3 | A lot going on | This book has a nice fast pace and is never boring. The characters are not flat and lifeless, but I also never really felt close to them.

4 | Cute with a nice lesson | If you have a child who seems to endlessly worry over everything, this book might be a good lesson for them.

4 | A lot of reasons to love it | "The Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club" was fun and entertaining. The beginning starts out a little slower, but quickly increases in intensity and intrigue.

4 | A very good read | "Racing from Death" by Sasscer Hill is an intriguing mystery set in the highly esteemed world of horse racing.

5 | One of the best kid's books ever | This story makes brilliant use of the popular "Old MacDonald" song and has a little different angle than the original.

4 | Taking the scary out of Shakespeare | This Author has used a refreshing angle to break down Shakespeare and make it easier for younger audiences to understand. (Maybe the older audiences too!)

5 | A book worthy of being this long. | This is not a short work. That terrified me when I started reading it, as you never quite know what you are getting yourself into.

4 | puting the literary back in literature | I really enjoyed reading this. In some ways it reminded me of the older books that used to be popular by Agatha Christie and others.

4 | Descriptive and pleasant | I found this book to be a very pleasant read for a lazy afternoon. The book does not move along at a fast clip, so if you expect that, then this might not be for you.

3 | skeletons in the closet | When I first started this book, I kind of loved it. The beginning was interesting and made me want to dive right in and get some reading done.

3 | Not his personal best | Although this is an interesting topic that has previously received a lot of media attention, I really didn't feel this book lived up to the other books by this author.

This book just didn't have the same... | [] | 0345508521 | 0345508521 | AFDNLNTANUGENK62RSTAQALJOWPQ | 1,356,978,141,000 | 0 | false |
4 | Great book for young adults | I read this the other night as it is part of the assigned reading for one of my children. I was really impressed by this book.

4 | A slightly different approach. | Although I do agree with a couple of things some of the other reviewers have said about the author constantly returning to the point that the MC is pregnant, I actually really liked this book.
