You'd think that this guy would get a life or at least come up with something new. Same ole bashings of Robert Allen, all unsubtstantiated ad nauseam---YYAWN (Thats a double yawn) really getting boring, but they are entertaining...sometimes. Does make you want to laugh. Sort of like listening to a child try to talk for the first time (except at least they are cute and lovable!)I tell you. I had a great holiday weekend. Today spent some time with the in laws. HAd to listen to my mother-in-law complain about certain things. Just came on the internet. Read this newest 1 star review and I had the biggest belley laugh of my life. So thank you 1 star reviewer for adding some humor to what was a somewhat no perfect day.In fact, I may go back and read it again before I retire for the evening.1 star review. Allen does this...HAHAHAHAHAHA

What more can I say? Go read it! I read it about 12 years ago or more. It was fantastic. I read it at least once every 2-3 yrs after that and it has never failed to make me laugh again and again. Though Apartheid is dead, the humor is still valid worldwide. Read it as satire or just for its humour. Either way, you'll love it. By the way, dont be put off that its British and thus a bit heavy in the reading department. Its not. Its a great read and you could easily finish reading it in one day unless, of course, you fall off your chair or bed and injure yourself laughing. Believe me, I'm not exaggerating.

This is one of the best children's books I have ever read. It has an intriguing plot and marvelous atmosphere. Above all, it has believable characters that are easy to identify with. The main character, Nina, is struggling to adjust to her family's move from the country to the city, and this struggle leads to her meeting with other, memorable characters involved in struggles of their own. The ghost story and the struggles with the nature of time add wonderfully to make the book a unique, timeless read

This book was really freaking sad. I was in a happy mood one Wednesday morning. Then second period I sat down to read Elie Wiesel's Night, and I got really sad. But I really have nothing to moan about compared to Elie who actually went through the whole mess. Elie'e account of being taken from his home, then split from his family and transported to and from Nazi concentration camps, gives a rare in-depth perspective.
I can't say I enjoyed reading the book, but I thought it was well written and in depth. I didn't like how sad the book was but what can you do about that, it was the Holocaust. You can't really change anything about this book, it was somebody's firsthand true account. Elie's purpose for publishing it was to prove wrong those people who deny that the Holocaust happened.

For what Remnick set out to do, I can't imagine it done any better. The narrative is honest and keeps the same steady pace througout. Remnick shows all of Ali, not only the greatest fighter of his generation, but also a man capable of being callous towards his wife and friends when they failed to live up to what the Nation of Islam demanded. Certainly his shunning of Malcolm X immediately before his assasination reveals a different side of Ali than I had ever seen on TV. But most importantly, Remnick shows the charisma and charm that made Ali great. Overall, this is an important book which frames Ali in the panoramic of the great leaders and issues of his time. I recommend it to anyone, even those not interested in boxing.

Wicked; the life and times of the wicked witch of the west
Book title: Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Audio Cassette
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Audio Cassette
I, an enthusiastic reader, found this novel to be both familiar and new to my mind. The classic tale written by L.F. Baum has been turned upside down in this new work of fiction. I once thought of the Wicked Witch of the West as a cold-blooded villian, however my views have since changed. This novel has opened my mind to many new views and ideas about the land of Oz and one green inhabitant.
I highly recommend this novel to the mature, insightful reader. Some subject matter may not be appropriate for juvinile readers. This novel, though long, has much more to offer in terms of perceptivity than most books published today. I have not read a book that probed this much thought in a very long time.

Hi! I am a fifteen year old girl living in CA and I just finished reading this book. I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found the information very reassuring and helpful. I would reccommend this book to any girl. I feel that I benefited from reading this book. It helped me learn things about myself and provided me with ways to handle stressful situations in adolescence and to make myself the kind of woman I'd like to be. I would also recommend this book to mom's. It could really give you some insight into what your daughters are going through. I hope read this book and enjoy it as much as I did! :)
