I love Anne of Green Gables and thought this book would be just as good.
Emily is a spoilt brat. She seems to think, along with everyone else at New moon farm, that being a Murrey means you are better than everybody else. She is always feeling sorry for herself. the way she goes on about aunt Elizabeth, who is really a big softie, is very annoying. Her teacher had a perfect right to tell her off when she was writing poetry instead of doing her maths, and yet she goes on about how mean she is.
She only become friends with people who are either clever, determind, or pretty, most people don't seem good enough for herto be with according to the book.
I love watching Colin Fry, John Edwards etc and find it all very fascinating and always want to hear more. So when I saw this book advertised and it was peoples own versions of what had happened to them through guardian angels. I couldn't wait to read it. This is a wonderfull book. It's 1000's of peoples individual encounters of guardian angels. It's a very calming book, puts a smile on your face. I'm not a fan of reading but love books like these.

Thank heaven for Ms. Puente and her idea to share with the world the secrets of creme brulee. I love this book, have made many of the recipes, and will tell as many people as I can about it. Why pay $8-$11 dollars for it in a fancy restaurant when for the same money, you can buy her book off amazon and make it yourself? Buy this book if you love creme brulee.

Flying Colors is the most introspective of the Hornblower novels. For those who want to understand who Hornblower really is, this book is probably the most revealing in the Hornblower series. Unlike the other stories which contain lots of naval action at sea, this book occurs mostly on the land of Spain and France, and the rivers of France. As a result, those who like the Hornblower novels for their battles and action will find this book to be one of the least satisfying in the series.
We all know ourselves best when we face problems. After the many successes in his career, Captain Hornblower ended up in Ship of the Line fighting an impossible battle between his ship, the Sutherland, and four French vessels. Taking horrible casualties, ... Read More:

I’ve read quite a few reviews for the black fleet trilogy and most seem to slate it a lot. Initially at the first read I didn’t really rate this book as the plots didn’t seem to advance anything in the star wars universe (except the storyline with Leia). But after reading it through a few times I started to appreciate it.
There are 3 separate storylines which eventually converge at the end. It starts with Luke becoming a hermit like Obi Wan and Yoda (the explanation of which is plausible and a good start) but later he goes off with a woman called Akanah to look for his mother. It turns out that his mother and Akanah are of the Fallanassi, a group like the Jedi but who use the so-called White Current instead of the Force. This ... Read More:

In a war filled with terrible shocks, the fall of Singapore in 1941 was one of the worst. Impregnable from the sea, Singapore collapsed before a Japanese force fighting its way through the 'impenetrable' jungle of the Malay Peninsula. Only at the last moment did the civilians on Singapore realize the danger they were in. And then they'd do anything to get out.
This novel features two of Reeman's standard characters: the crusty, traditional, martinet career Royal Navy officer, and the young R.N. reserve officer, unpolished but skilled, and increasingly experienced as the war progresses. As is common in many Reeman novels, the tension between these two men drives much of the story in the early part of the book, until they both realize that, as another hero of ... Read More:

Well, Finally after all the other previous books in the Death Gate Cycle, many of the seperate storylines are starting to get wound up like never before. The previous book, "Hand of Chaos" starts to do this but just does not quite have the action that this one did.
You finally get a look at what goes on inside the Labrinth itself. No longer are the dwellers just from one of the character's memories. Now you actually get a big feel for what is soon to happen with the sundered worlds.....
I will not say that this has been the best I have read in the series so far. I still cannot decide whether "The Fire Sea" was better written. Either way, it is a great book if you have read (at least 2 of the other) Death Gate novels.
