I found this book to be excellent. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down. It tells a painful and real story of many women in society today.

This is by far Jennifer Weiner's best book. I thought that 'Good in Bed' was fairly good, but I did not care for 'In Her Shoes'. I was hesitant to read 'Little Earthquakes' but am so glad that I did. I found myself unable to put it down!

These gruesome, passionate stories reveal a darker side of Alcott. Yet, in their mastery of suspense and psychological drama, they attest to the multifaceted genius of their creator. While Alcott wrote many of these "blood and thunder tales, " editor Madeleine Stern selects Alcott's most unforgettable and thrilling stories for this publication.

The illustrations in 'Pinduli' are fantasic. My kids were totally hooked on the book and actually sat still. There's one illustration where Pinduli looks so sad, you just want to pull her out of the book and give her a hug. I love the illustrations more and more every day. This book is a great tool to help teach children that everyone is different and what happens when people (or animals in the book's case) get teased.

Anna Quindlen has developed an enormously likable writing voice, and by telling her tale through the humble voice of an unassuming naif, she allows her readers the illusion that we all might live securely within the velvety pink confines of the New York maw, safely out of the way of those silver teeth. She makes the city accessible and downright neighborly.

To say that Augusten Burroughs had an unusual childhood would be an understatement. His eccentric mother -- a poet -- left him in the care of her shrink, a man who might have benefitted from a little therapy himself. Somehow, Augusten survived, and the result is this memoir, one both horrifying and hysterical.

Excellent book. One of the few books I could not put down. The characters are well developed and the story comes together so well. I highly recommend this.

Fantastic book. I've read this and recommended it to several people. Don't miss this one. Easy read, since it is a collection of short stores.
