| 1. | [no image] | Heart of Darkness from RecordedBooks Price: $92.00 Customer Review:  I recently re-read the Joseph Conrad novella Heart of Darkness, a perennial classic and the inspiration for Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. Having first read this powerful piece in high school, there was much I had forgotten. I am glad to have revisited it. This time it really hit home: just... |

| 2. | [no image] | The Prince from ETC Publications Price: $7.79 Customer Review: The Prince - named thusly because the boss of a principality is called a prince - is a handbook for leaders. Its pragmatically evil reputation is not undeserved; at first I thought I would discover that people blew it up a bit and that I would not be impressed by the "machiavellian" (and yes, this... |

| 3. |  | Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Audio Price: $6.99 Customer Review:  For anyone wanting a good, quick, historical/non-fiction ebook to read in less than a day, then this ebook is definitely for you. Although, be warned, this is no substitute for the literature that Frederick Douglass wrote himself. This ebook provides a good, short synopsis of his life. Hey, my... |

| 4. |  | Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance from Random House Audio Price: $24.20 Customer Review:  Sean Williams did a lovely job writing Unleashed and I very much look forward to the sequel. Having said that I cannot recall reading a more lifeless and boring Star Wars novel except for Yoda: dark Rendezvous. The action sequences are few and far between and there are too many characters to keep... |

| 5. |  | Sisters from BiblioBazaar Price: $16.52 Customer Review: It took me a while to get into this book because of the flowery writing style of yesteryear but I'm glad I kept on with it. After finally getting into the style of writing I was surprised at how this book hooked me and kept me reading it. The ending was not how I wanted this book to turn out though.... |

| 6. |  | The Pyramid: The First Wallander Cases (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) from Vintage Price: $6.50 Customer Review:  Is there anyone who would be willing to cough up an accurate, chronology of the Kurt Wallander mysteries so a reader might be able to Read them in order? Since Amazon doesn't do it? |

| 7. | [no image] | Sherlock Holmes (Little Brown Notebook Series) from Sterling Pub Co Inc Price: $6.36 Customer Review: Entertaining collection of Sherlock Holmes vignettes from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Each chapter challenges the reader to solve the crime before Holmes but the reader sometimes finds themselves in Watson's shoes trying to figure out where Holmes got his answers. Well worth the read. |

| 8. | [no image] | The Heart of Rachael from Thorndike Press Customer Review: This is the second book I've read from Kathleen Thompson Norris. Her tale of divorce and remarriage, wife and mistress, love lost and refound, was great. There are no villains here, just people making choices, living with the consequences. I found myself sympathizing with Rachel, even with the young... |

| 9. |  | Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream from Vintage Price: $5.99 Customer Review: In retrospect, several facets of Fear and Loathing in Las Veagas need to be examined. Hunter S. Thompson ingested large quantities of powerful drugs with an emphasis on those of a psychedelic variety. He derived no discernible insights from those experiences. While high,he relished many... |

| 10. |  | The Man from Beijing from Knopf Price: $11.49 Customer Review:  "The Man from Beijing" is a stand-alone novel by acclaimed suspense author Henning Mankell. The plot centers around a brutal mass murder in a remote Swedish village, but travels around the globe and through time to resolve the crime and explain the motivations behind it. Unfortunately, a potentially... |

| 11. |  | Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Abyss from Random House Audio Price: $25.47 Customer Review: Denning's Abyss takes the reader on three separate but (loosely) related story lines that only barely come together in the last handful of pages. Denning sets up a complicated web of political intrigue, metaphysical questions and backstabbing Sith power struggles, but then does absolutely nothing... |

| 12. |  | The Dogs of Riga (Harvill Panther) from Vintage Price: $39.13 Customer Review: I've read several Wallander mysteries and I love the character but this book, while I liked it, is at the bottom of my list for favorite Wallander mysteries. |

| 13. |  | The Godfather from NAL Trade Price: $6.82 Customer Review: I came to the book first and then I saw the movie. I have to admit, I find both of them to be overrated. I enjoy mob books and films (Goodfellas and Puzo's The Last Don), but I struggled to get into this one. The characters were somewhat wooden and uninteresting, and I never did see how Michael... |

| 14. |  | Picking Cotton: Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $8.40 Customer Review: Picking Cotton by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, Ronald Cotton with Erin Torneo is about injustice at its worst and redemption at its best, I absolutely loved this book! Could you imagine being in prison for 11 years for a crime you did not commit. 11 YEARS!!!! The scary parts reiterate that injustice... |

| 15. |  | The Man Who Smiled from Thorndike Press Customer Review: "Reinterpreting the hard-boiled detective," as one review said, in spades, but not Sam Spades. Wallender, a deeply melancholy personality already, goes into an 18-month drunken tailspin, on a leave of absence, traumatized after shooting a perp (the details of which event Mankell doesn't bother to... |

| 16. | [no image] | Hamlet (Raintree Short Classics) from Steck-Vaughn Price: $2.10 Customer Review: "Hamlet" doesn't need any introduction -- the tortured Dane, the ghost, meditations on suicide and a climax full of death. But as well-known as the storyline is, the play itself is what deserves the attention, both for Shakespeare's shadowy plot filled with uncertainty and treachery -- and for his... |

| 17. | [no image] | The Diary of a Young Girl (Penguin Modern Classics) from Penguin Audiobooks Price: $149.13 Customer Review: It was in decent shape, and not bad for the price. However, it did smell a little musty and old. I wish that hadn't been the case. I do not like to read books when they are like that...discourages me from reading it. But, I needed it for a last minute graduate school assignment and I really didn't... |

| 19. |  | The Developing Person Through the Life Span from Worth Publishers Price: $4.94 Customer Review: I bought this product because it was not only cheaper (about $75 cheaper than the new paperback), but loose leaf (so I didn't have to lug the WHOLE book with me to class). I could take only the pages I needed. You do have to be careful when the pages are in a binder because the holes are close to... |

| 20. |  | Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Omen from Random House Audio Price: $19.98 Customer Review: The entire time reading this novel I knew the Sith would be returning back into the Galaxy. Daala trying to coral the Jedi but taking advice from an aid was eerily familiar and I thought great another hidden Sith trying to destroy the Jedi typical rehashing old story lines. Well I was...so far...... |
