"I liked this book. It took me a while to get into it, but once I did, I could not put it down. I thought it was well written, with a very very dry humor. It made me think about an entirely different perspective on life- instead of planning for adventure, to simply live and let adventure happen."

"this is not the greatest resource. a lot of the websites are no longer active, and a lot are not really geared to kids. I was pretty disappointed."

"What a lovely book. It is a quick read, but really captures a relationship between friends and books. I loved it."

"This is a wonderful memoir. It made me want to follow Trillin in how wonderfully he loved his wife."

"This was a very entertaining and illuminating book. I have not read very many books about Native Americans in modern times, and this book really gives some insight as to what life is like on reservations. It also is a great coming of age story."

"This was such an interesting way to tell a story- through an accordion. It was a good book and a fun read, but I was left wanting for a bit more meatiness."

"It took me a while to get into the flow of this book about a mother and daughter, but wow. The descriptions of the town, sexuality, relationships between women and women and men are phenomenal."

"I enjoyed this book. I loved the recipes. I thought it was a bit formulaic and trite, but it is a perfect beach book."

"Ooh. This was good. It took me a while to get started on it- the beginning is a little slow and I wondered what the point of the book was going to be- but it very lovingly told the story of a hermaphrodite born into a difficult world= and probably a place in the world where acceptance is hardest to find. I was thoroughly absorbed."

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought it would be all about baseball, and it is, but the Harbach makes a seamless quilt of baseball and life, and loss of innocence and adulthood."

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book- it is emotionally riveting but light enough that you can read it on an airplane (I did) and while watching Hannah Montana with your kids. I love the story and the twist at the end. Well worth the read!"

"The perspective of this book is awesome- an evolved dog tells the story. It was a tad hokey, but I really loved it."

"I liked this. Sometimes it was slow paced (the first half of the book could be cut in half) but the plot was good, the satire was right on target, and there was a good twist at the end."

"I loved this. Ayelet is brutally honest and brutally observant in a way that makes me very aware of what I think of other mothers and what I perceive in myself. I don't agree with all that she says, but it is thought provoking!"

"This is a slender but powerful little volume. I thought it was a bit slow at first, but it is one of those books that makes you think long after you read it."

"I LOVED this! It was a great, great story with lots of great moments."
