I loved the convenience of shopping on the Internet but I had trouble finding the sites that sell what I want. Not any more! This book lists over one thousand sites that sell everything you can imagine. Where else could you find sites that sell spy and security goodies, decorator umbrellas and ladies lingerie all in the same book? You can even go to to the author's Internet site to find reviews of new shopping sites and, more importantly, the sites that have gone belly-up since the book was published.

My daughter absolutley loves Junie B. Jones, so I thought these cassettes would be great for long car rides. The first thing that I got a kick out of is Lana Quintel's voice--she is just perfect as Junie. She's got a little-girlish, slightly nervous tone, which really fits. Some audio stories can really bore you to tears, which is bad for the adult driving the car, but these keep you listening and aware.
The story lines really fit for young kids (older 5's+), since Junie has to get through typical situations like loose teeth, "boyfriends", self-inflicted hair cuts, etc.
Some of the books show Junie's more obnoxious, negative self, so I just avoid them and go for the cuter stories.

I have been reading the Junie B. Jones collection to my kindergarten class from the beginning of the school year. They absolutely love the collection. At times I have found the language inappropriate for kindergarten. I have chosen to change some of the words as I read. The children do not realize and the books still remain enjoyable and fun. Barbara Park is a great author and has truley captured the uniqueness of a child's kindergarten career. All books are HIghly remcommended. I tried to keep this book until the last day of school when my students would have officially been first graders. They wouldn't let me. One of my students brought the book from home and we finished it in two sittings. Junie B. Jones First Grader at Last is a great book to read to the child who is anxious about first grade and the changes that my come with growing up.

This is a book about human beings, and what behaviouir they will justify - and will try to get away with - if they are allowed.

There are so many striking aspects to this book. It's hard to believe that women can suffer so much abuse, and men can continue to dish it out, and men don't have to face the consequences, and women's suffering isn't acknowledged. This is graphic stuff, and it sure isn't sex and violence for entertainment.

Another striking element is how utterly reasonable the authors' presence is, as they painstakingly take us through these criminal offences. And they write as one; you can never tell one author's style from the other's. It is real synergy.

The book reinforces a powerful message. We have to treat each other with respect and integrity; and when we don't, we should be held responsible for our actions.

Written in a straightforward, non legalistic style, this book is a very thorough and thoughtful analysis of why the "Reasonable Woman" standard should be applied to both male and female defendants and victims, in situations involving sex, sexism, and aggression.

Each chapter starts with a study of an actual court case, which the authors then analyze from the point of view of both the Reasonable Man standard which is used in most courts, and the Reasonable Woman standard that they advocate.

They offer compelling arguments to support their contention that the Reasonable Woman standard not only results in truer justice, but at the same time elevates society's standards of conduct.

For centuries, it has been said that "women civilize" a culture. This book convinces the reader that the time is ripe for the "Reasonable Woman" to civilize our justice sustem.

I can easily understand why this book is so famous. Little Women is one of the best books I've ever read. Its heartwarming and spirited tale has made me laugh, and cry. There aren't words to describe its internal beaty, and I can't understand how a book like this one isn't sold for millions. It truly holds a special place in my heart.

This was a wonderful tale of four sisters growing up during the civil war. It also continues afterwards. They are also poverty stricken. Even though this book was written in the 1800's people today can still relate to the warmth and genuine personalities of the characters. It is also beautifully written and I was hanging on every word. It is a wonderful book for people of all ages.

I thought this book was fast paced, original, and intriguing. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves to read. I literally could not put it down.

I liked this book because while it seems like a fantasy, there are parts of it that seem very real. The characters, wild as they are, seem as if they could be real.

Excerpt from book review section of the Monterey County Post: Overton, a retired art teacher and interior designer, exposes a nineteen year old college drop out named Alice to the illicit pleasures available at Casa Danada, the mountain-top retreat of Pirrone Rivelli. A mysterious figure whose lifstyle includes fast cars, numerous women, and ties to the underworld. Rivelli holds a dagerous, nearly fatal attraction for the novel's young heroine.
Alice enters into an exotic world in which there are no rules. Life in this untamed milieu is lived on the edge. Alice nearly tumbles into the "abyss" as the romance of her new bohemialn life turns ugly and threatens to destroy the innocent young woman.

In a Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare's loveliest comedy, the world of four lovers collides in a magical woods one night during midsummer with hilarious results. Pandemonium reigns and misunderstandings abound; nothing is as it seems, or should be, and that is what makes this play so perfect.

In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare's extraordinary talent for creating poetry that is unrivaled is effective in both establishing character and demonstrating the theme. The characters of this play all speak in poetic form with the exception of the English rustics who speak in prose. This helps to place the fairies and the lovers on a higher and more transcendental plane that the artisans. The artisans, as a result, become even more comical and serve to heighten the misunderstandings of love.

The poetry of Shakespeare's genius also helps to clarify the play^s theme of the extreme confusion and blinding power of love. The rhythmic words help to create a magical setting while the rhyming scheme serves to portray the confusion each character feels while under the power of love.

Those who think that love is only a blissful dream, will find that Shakespeare, in this play of clever intrigue, shows also that love can be a place of extreme confusion. As the audience ponders the revelry they have just seen on stage, Puck steps forth to conclude the confusion:

If we shadows have offended/ Think but this, and all is mended/ That you have but slumbered here/ While these visions did appear/ And this weak and idle theme/ No more yielding than a dream.

The audience is left in as much ambiguity as it felt throughout the performance; the play appropriately ends in a puzzling state of confusion.

The majority of events is this play take place during the night, even the rehearsal for the farcical play-within-a-play. All of the mishaps occur during the nighttime hours and the confusion is not cleared up until the next morning when the four lovers are discovered. This setting of night allows the audience to drift into the idea that the entire play could well have been nothing more than a fantastic dream.

Sleep in another theme that threads its way throughout the play. All of the mishaps and mistakes occur through the guise of sleep. One of the major influences of sleep is that it allows Puck and Oberon to make use of the magic love flower whose power is only effective if its intended victim is fast asleep. The flower, however, causes an hilarious love triangle that is not set straight until Oberon once again finds all of the confused lovers asleep. When they are discovered the next morning and asked to explain their crazy night, the only explanation that can be given is that it was all a dream.

There seems to be no other way for Shakespeare to end this riotous entanglement of lovers, mythological beings, fairies and artisans but to explain it as a dream. Throughout the play, with its nighttime atmosphere and frequent occurrences of sleep, the dreamy state of the characters is passed on to the audience. The play itself is still in an inconclusive state when the characters leave the stage and many questions remain in the mind of the audience. Puck's closing monologue, however, explains that puzzlement is the appropriate emotion to be felt during the course of the play. Puck then goes on to persuade the audience that the only logical explanation for the ambiguity of the play, itself, is that, just as the characters themselves experienced, the audience has just awakened from a comical and fantastic dream.

Yes, Shakespeare has a sense of humor; he proved it in A Midsummer Night's Dream. I have enjoyed all of his books, especially Romeo and Juliet and MacBeth, but A Midsummer Night's Dream is, in my opinion, his best work. There are many love stories in this book, one of which is about Hermia and Lysander. They hide in the woods because Hermia's father wants her to marry Demetrius, a wealthy man. In order to win over Hermia's father, a woman named Helena tells him where Hermia is, and they immediately go after the two lovers. What happens to Hermia and Lysander? Does she marry Demetrius? You'll have to read it in order to find out. There are other great stories in this book, including the one of Theseus and Hippolyta -- two royals that are about to get married. With Shakespeare's ability to write a beautiful love story with a touch of poetry and precise comic timing, this is a classic that everyone should read. I highly recommend it!

This beautiful tale that crosses time and passions is a one of the loveliest books I have read in ages. "The Romantic" by Barbara Gowdy is an amazingly look into the world of Louise Kirk, and her childhood infatuation with neighbor boy, Abel. When Louise's own family leaves her cold and wanting better - she begins a life long fascination and some might say addiction with the Richter family.

Ms. Gowdy's talent is full and complete. I loved her use of tone and romance. Her characters are fully developed - and she handles loss with such grace and talent. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone. Really amazing read!

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness." Friedrich Nietzsche's take on love could apply to Louise Kirk, the main character in this book. Louise becomes acquainted with love at an early age, falling in love at the age of nine with Abel, the adopted son of her neighbours. This happens just after her former beauty queen mother leaves without a reason or a trace. Abel moves away, but as the two grow up, they have a series of separations and reunions, each with both sublime and painful moments. Each break-up has its reasons for being the permanent end of the relationship. But the relationship goes on and on, seeming to have a life of its own. Louise has many struggles--the disappearance of her mother, her father's remote parenting, his endless and hopeless longing for his wife to return, the awkwardness of finding a life. Louise becomes a woman, and despite many reasons to do so, never loses her love for Abel, who can't quite love her back the way she loves him. This is the story of the endless permutations and combinations of love--young, innocent, joyful, painful, unrequited, lost, tragic. This story's subtlety is deceptive. It is powerful. It will haunt you. Did you love enough? Too much? Compare yourself to Louise.

My mom bought this one for me when I was about eight years old. I'm nineteen now and I still love it. :) The pictures are exquisite... awesome illustrations bring Shakespeare to life so much it will be familiar to even little kids years later. These pictures are really buried deep in my memory and I'm glad. :)

I checked this book out of the library...hoping the beautiful pictures would captivate my 3 and 5yr old and they would then listen to Shakespeare. It WORKED!!! So I knew it was worth purchasing. The book contains only small selections from Shakespeare's work...but a great way to introduce your child to the beauty of his words. Wonderful Illustrations!!!

I first read this book at the age of 11. I am now 19-years-old and I still identify with Heidi's heartbreaking tale of growing up and getting wise. I would love to make this book my first screen-play, if someone could help me find the author or if she herself could contact me I can be reached at trippingbilly10@yahoo.com Please help!

I really liked this book and never wanted to put it down. The first line in the book is the most memorable. I really liked this book and reccomend it highly. It is a little strange but very good. I enjoyed it very much.

I first read this book when I was probably about 11. Since then I have read it 3 more times, and I still love it! Now I am fifteen, the same age as Joel Greenburg, the protagonist of this book(yes, 15-year-olds use the word protagonist, at least if you come from my school and were in my 8th grade English class). No one pays much attention to Joel, ever since his older brother JJ's book was put on the New York Times Best Sellers list. When JJ's ex girlfriend Marilyn is kidnapped, JJ doesn't seem to care much, but Joel sets out with his faithful dog, Sherlock, determined to find her. A lot of funny things happen along the way, and I'd be willing to bet you'll be surprised at the conclusion. This is the type of book that you can read in one day with no desire to put it down and no regrets after.

The main subject in the story is that a women went to play a game of cards and lost $50,000.00. And the dry-cleaning place she goes to burnt down in the back, and the owners need $50,000.00. So the women plans the to be kidnapped by the dry-cleaning owners and ask for a ransom of $100,000.00. This is a great book!
