i usually find stein's play with words a bit frustrating. however, this is a more readable book, one of her most accessible works. insightful in its view of fame & narcissism in america.

This is a fascinating account of Stein's travels in America following the success of "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas". Stein finds many things interesting about America, and through her descriptions, so does the reader. Her descriptions of the habits, manners, lifestyle, and thoughts of Americans are very simple but profoundly accurate. Being a Gertrude Stein work, Everybody's Autobiography also features amazing prose that is often challenging but always rewarding. Surprisingly, Everybody's Autobiography is very approachable once one adjusts to Stein's style. This was the first Stein work I read and I've already begun reading The Making of Americans. I just can't recommend this book [and Stein in general] enough.

READ THE BOOK AND FIND OUT

This book was very boring the most of the time.if you buy this book it is a wast of your money when you could buy a better Boxcar Children books

This book is absolutely horrible. I wasted over a week on this book. I just kept thinking "The climax MUST be coming soon." but to tell you the truth, it never came! HORRIBLE book!

This is a great book for a mystery lover. If you are interested in lake monsters like me you will like this book. So you decide is there a monster or is it a hoax.

It all begins the day the Aldens arive at Lake Lucielle when their new friend,Nicole, tells them that a person who lives at Lucielle Lodge,Carl, has seen a monster in the lake. Then mysterious things start to happen like Monster tracks, low wailing sounds, even a monster-bitten canoe paddle! Is someone trying to scare visitors away or is their really a monster in Lake Luicelle? Read the book to find out!

What I like about The Boxcar Children series is: 1)the kids arenot some angels,they are normal kids who have conflicts anddisagreements 2)these kids are kind,caring,helpful,and they spend time together (despite their age differences) and stand up for each other - and most important - they enjoy it! 3)the stories are usually interesting,often with unexpected endings 4) the stories are not violent,which is too often the case with books for any age . That said,I didn't like this particular book very much,since the story is not as exciting and the mystery feels like it's happening almost by the way.The ending also felt a little flat and boring.So while I highly recommend most of the other books in the series,I do not recommend this one too much.

I like my book The Mystery Of The Queen's Jewels by Gertrude Chandler Warner because it is a mystery. A mystery book is more exciting and you ever know what happens next. Also the endings will always surprise you. In this book they are in London and someone is following them. There are four children in the book who solves the mysterious and at least one person who is sneaky and makes the story instering. The children work together as a team and they never exclude each other. I think it is very interisting how the boxcar children don't fight because usually brothers and sisters fight.This book is very instring because it makes you feel like you're in the book so you will want to read more. This book will encourage young children to like reading. I would encourage young readers to read this series.

As this book is not available in stores or is even published yet, it is very difficult to find. I was in the lucky position to receive an advance copy from a faculty advisor. This is a very brief summary of what I have to say:

Fraser's exploration of Virginia's erasure of traditional African-American midwives is insightful and nuanced, reading the state's 1920's health policy between its lines. Fraser racializes the health policies which "retired" the African American community's most helpful and affordable care providers and thus exposes how far reaching prejudice can be. Not intended as a call to action for African-Americans as much as a historical exposition, the book is helpful for anyone studying the tension between modern and traditional forms of healing. Let's hope it gets through the publishing mill soon. END

I am reading the the Boxcar Children books to my seven year old daughter. She loves them. The "Adventures of Benny & Watch" series are wonderful...This series she can read and each book takes her fifteen minutes! She can't wait for #9. Boxcar Children books written just for her...

Mellow introduces the reader to a person and a period of time that makes the book a vacation from our modern world.He introduces us to personalities of the nineteenth and early twentieth century who remain names to most of us. How delightful to attend the parties, hear the gossip, and take part in pre-World War I Paris, with this astonishing woman and her friends whose literature and paintings are recognized the world over.

This was a super missionary biography. It was exciting, detailed, exotic, and spritually encouraging. However, it was a little too detailed in parts I ended up skimming towards the end. After reading about the trials and successes the Morse family faced in Burma, my trials paled in comparison. However, I liked the out of print sequel, "Exodus to a Hidden Valley" even better than, "The Dogs May Bark but the Caravan Moves On".

Great books for kids between the ages of 8-12, with cool characters like Benny, Jessie, Violet and Henry. this four kids lived in a boxcar until their grandfather found them and brought them back to his home. The neat thing about these book is that they're mysteries, and the mysteries actually make sense! SO i advise all grandparents, parents, uncles aunts and brothers and sisters to buy this for the little ones.
