If you're tired of the immorality in the majority of today's books, this author is just what you've been looking for. D.E. Stevenson is a great storyteller. She makes you want to keep reading about these people forever. You care about what happens to them. Yet her books have an underlying philosophy that is optimistic and uplifting. I highly recommend all of her books. You can't find this kind of quality storytelling in today's bestsellers.

A female Quincy who applies her knowlege of forensic medicine to crime solving. What Spencer is to Boston and the East Coast, Kiernan O'Shaughnessy is to San Francisco and the West Coast.

Sure technique,snappy dialogue, white-knuckle plot and bare-knuckle action scenes.

this book is funny to me you will love this book you will give it five stars because he play games on his sister.

This is one of those books that are force on you at school. The basic story is of a Southern belle driven mad by isolation and her ties to the past. If this is your first reading of something representative of Faulkner this is the best example, as it is short and the story is intriguing. You can enjoy reading it for what it is and not have to analyze the thing to death. Even if you do not particularly cotton to Faulkner's style or subject matter, this book will transcend both. In 1982 they made this story into a movie with John Houseman and Anjelica Huston.

I am delighted to have the honor of being the first reviewer of this wonderful book for Amazon. I find it absolutely delicious reading and perfect for being totally immersed. I am going to be lost when I finish the book and longing for more. I cannot stop reading at night and the chapters are such a nice length that it is easy to play the game of "just one more" for a long while. The author really did her homework and the book is accurate historically. I will probably become interested in Emily Dickinson's poetry as a result. There is no doubt that this book will be long remembered.

This is a book I loved as a child. The high caliber, first rate pencil drawings added to its appeal tremendously.

Emily is a shy 5th grader who moves from town into the country. Shy and extremely private, Emily rues the rural move and is embarrassed about riding on what her peers have called the "farm bus" to school. She years to be part of the elementary school's upper echelon, the Clique-Claque Club and often compromises her standards to be a part of this crowd.

Emily's next door neighbor is a friendly, outgoing girl with seemingly no inhibitions. She is not impressed with the Clique-Claques and is perfectly happy to march to her own drummer. Emily is initially embarrassed to be seen with the girl, but natrual inclinations win out over super imposed prejudices and the pair become friends.

Emily still seeks entrance to the Clique-Claques, so she hosts a slumber party replete with popcorn and ghost stories. Naturally, the girls are delighted and the party gets rave reviews.

The party is so highly endorsed that the head Clique-Claque asks Emily to join. Emily, still chafing over a disatrous horseback ride with the Clique-Claques and their insistence that she have only Clique-Claquers for friends, gently turns down the offer.

This is a book I enjoyed as a child. It brings back nice memories.

Since Amazon didn't post an editorial review, here's the description from the back of the book to help you decide if this book is for you: "Mary E. Pearce had written a rich and magical novel -- the triumphant conclusion to her powerful and moving saga of English farming life and those who live by the land. Set during the troubled years of World War II, this is a vivid portrayal of the Mercybright family, their tragedies and their triumphs. Above all, it is the portrait of Linn Mercybright, an ambitious and single-minded woman. As she struggles with a world that has been irrevocably changed by yeat another world war, Linn searches passionately, and sometimes blindly, for self-fulfillment, success -- and love."

I have come to believe that Emily Dickinson is the greatest writer America has produced. Unfortunately, the poet remained in anonymity and so went without constructive criticism. Her poems, while splendid, were not of the depth of Whitman nor the pleasure of Longfellow. They did not "live" like Poe's. But they lived; only heavier in breath. So it is not her poetry that we look at to find America's greatest writer, it is these wonderful letters. At thirteen her imagery is as complicated as Mailer or Morrison might ever be. And in our age of television, no genius will surpass these imaginings. To read Emily is to fall in love with her. Certainly misunderstood. Unapreciated. My copy of this books is weathered like a Baptist preachers Bible. It is my favorite book of all time. Emily is my favorite writer. Not everyone I recomend this book too enjoys it as much as I, but please try. You may find something special.

These two novels read like lost manuscripts of Jane Austen's. They are the stories of two early 19th century romances -- one involving an already-married couple, the other involving a pair of potential mates -- that show the same level of sophisticated observation of human nature that Austen aficionados love. But, you haven't re-read them over and over, unlike "Pride and Prejudice", "Emma", or "Sense and Sensibility". They are a must for any Austen-holic

This book is the conclusion to the Deltora Shadowlands series,which is the follow-up to the Deltora Quest series, and it most definetly won't dissapoint any Deltora fans, or any fantasy fans who are interested, although you should read all the Deltora's (both the Quest and the rest of the Shadowlands series) before starting this one, as you need to know all the information that they contain if you want to keep up. It starts off as Lief, Barda, and Jasmine leave the island of Auron to proceed to their last stop, the island of Keras. The Kerans, suprisingly, turn out to be the easiest of all of the three groups to get the pipe from, as they agree to lend the three heoros the third part of the mystical Pirran Pipe, agreeing to lend them it in exange for an item, which, to the shock of his companions, Lief seems eager to give. Why is Lief so willing to give the Kerans such a important magical item? The answer could go deeper than you might think. Finally, the three companions proceed to the shadowlands, but with an extra person along the way, who will, for obious reasons, play a huge role in this conclution. As the last hope for the imprisoned Deltorans proceed through the strange, dangerous Shadowlands, many secrects are revealed regarding Lief, Jasmine, Marilen, and Faith. Just like in Deltora Quest, all the clues which seem to point to nothing, add up to the final secret that very few know, and, also like Deltora Quest, you'll be doing two things after reading this book: Kicking yourself and begging for more, as everything from all the Deltora's add up to an amazing ending.
