Evanovich, Janet : Eleven on Top
-
If you want to escape, if you want to laugh, if you want
to have fun, read it.

Cahill, Susan: Women Write
-
A compilation of 'women's voices' that you are supposed
to read if you want to be high culture. Some are good,
some stink. Whose word says that all of these writers
are great?

Alvarez, Julia: How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
-
A fictional account of a family from the Dominican Republic
. Originally written as short stories, then compiled
into a novel. I can't imagine it reading like anything
special, so the stories were printed in reverse to add a little more
pizzazz.

Smith, E.E. "Doc": Lord Tedric No. 2: Space Pirates
-
A very unusual science fiction story. All is not well with humankind...unlike
many stories, human society is degenerating and reverting. Its a great read,
and would be even better had the author not made use of the "raygun" and
"heatray" type terms (a personal pet peeve of mine, as well as the phrase
itself). A very good read.

Hentoff, Nat: The Day They Came to Arrest the Book
-
A great book that manages to show politics in action,
while still making it easy to read. All is not well
at George Mason High School when someone complains
about a book... a good, easy read that combines real-life
issues with humor, dissapointment, embarassment, and
just about any emotion you could get from any tale.

LaHaye, Tim and Jerry B. Jenkins: Glorious Appearing - Left Behind Series
-
Was mostly bible verses. I am a Christian, so I didn't mind, but this
book didn't seem to have as much of a fictional story line
or character action as in previous Left Behind books. It
was slow reading for me and I was a little disappointed as far as entertainment
goes, but found it very enlightening as far as learning more about the
bible.

Evanovich, Janet: Ten Big Ones
-
I was honestly holding my breath as I opened "Ten Big Ones." I
was not disappointed as I chuckled out loud reading the very first paragraph
and smiling the whole time I'm reading. I can honestly forget about how much
life stinks and escape into another Plumb novel. Janet is the greatest!
