If you're an eleven-year-old, you're going to love this book. If you're a forty-year-old, you're going to love this book. That's because the storyline is fun to follow, the characters seem real and quite engaging, the bad people are sometimes hypnotic, the emotions are deeply felt and simply expressed, and the alligator is hungry but likeable. It's almost impossible not to think of other great classics ostensibly written for young people but in reality bearing a message for us old fuddy-duddies, too--Huckleberry Finn, Ol' Yeller, To Kill a Mockingbird, Dandelion Wine (if you loved these books, you'll be open to enjoying this one). Try this wonderful Southern tale, the latest from popular children's author Allen Johnson Jr.

Thought there were some very interesting metaphors about life and the association with where everything is in the African American Community. Would like to read more on the perspective from this individual.

Oh y goodness this is the best book ever I keep it in my pocket where ever I goI love this book and I read it when I am sad

Organized by state and then by county, this book offers an easy and quick way to find out about the properties that have been defined as our national landmarks. The pithy descriptions of each property are clever, articulate, and avoid formula writing, keeping the reader moving from one to another of the various entries. The photographs and occasional drawings are large and of high quality, providing a valuable complement to the text. In addition to the index by property name, there is a general index by subject matter, making it easy to find properties related by subject, regardless of location.

The author has captured the true meaning of "nebbish" and from the moment you pick up this book you will not stop laughing. He has managed to capture on each page, each beautifully illustrated, the true essence of the human species and circumstances that makes life interesting and very funny. You will definitely see someone you know, if not yourself, in this humourous book. Absolutely loved it and recommend it highly.

I read this book as a college student and loved it! It tells the story of the great missionary to China, Lottie Moon, in a way both realistic and inspirational. Lottie Moon has been referred to as "the closest thing Southern Baptists have to a saint", and anyone who reads this biography will understand why. You will see Lottie's life from her childhood, through her college conversion and call to be a pioneer missionary to China, until her death as a martyr of charity who gave all that she had to relieve the starving Chinese during a famine, thus starving herself. The reader will see Miss Moon, not as some caricatured Hollywood notion of a strait-laced insensitive missionary, but as a brilliant intellectual, promoter of women's welfare - she fought against the practice of foot-binding in China - and proclaimer of God's mercy in Christ.

A collection of substantial literary material from one of the best voices of dissidence & nonconformism;gems that howl,speak & whisper from the side of literatures remorseless tongue.Personal faves here are the excerpt from Alexander Trocchi's novel "Cains Book";Octavio Paz's essay;Robert Coover's "The Square Shooter & The Saint";Ginsberg's "Howl" of course;Kerouac's "October In The Railroad Earth",the interview on Louis-Ferdinand Celine;& many more.Not only is this good reading material to ingest differentiating one from the usual academic blah that turn a lot off to literature;it also familiarizes oneself to a lot of talented & great authors that one may not be aware of if not for this impressive book.

This is a great book. There is plenty of space provided for you to write about your garden for every week of the year. It is also very informative. It gives specific info. for every zone in many different gardening topics for every month. And it has a special topic it goes into depth for for every month of the year. There are beautiful photographs throughout the entire book. It also has graph pages for designing gardens. I have recommended this book to quite a few friends who have loved it.
