Jodi Picoult's novel The Pact is subtitled "a love story," and in a way it is a love story. But The Pact is also a gripping courtroom drama and many other things.
The Harte family and the Gold family live next door to each other in a small...
Pros: A book you will want to keep forever. Cons: None.
I am a companion to 2 ladies at an old people's home. They are 83 and 88 years young. I was hired to talk, read, and stimulate them. I read the bible, sing hymns and read several adult books to them. Their greatest joy is THE TALE OF JEMIMA...

Children’s books are a delight. Not only do they entertain and educate your child, but they are a delight when you come across one that is of such excellent quality, you hang on to it even after your kids are grown.

My first year of marriage, I was browsing the shelves of the local library when I stumbled onto a novel-sized, red-covered paperback cookbook titled The Compleat I Hate to Cook Book, by Peg Bracken.
Pros: The concept for the story is timeless Cons: To buy just one short story is difficult so Christmas is the best time to look for this edition

Pros: Carcaterra's style is raw, but brutally honest. You won't be able to read his writings without having some sort of emotions evoked. Cons: The stories can be very brutal. Some might see Carcaterra as nothing more than a knock off of Puzo.

guards...
Pros: a lot of different types of recipes Cons: the print is very small
This is a great cookbook. I know several people who are on their second copy because of so much wear and tear. I, however. am only on my first copy. I have had this cookbook for a little over a year and have made several of the recipes.

Pros: Mel Gibson Gives A Somewhat Charming Performance Cons: Mr. Boring And The Other Weirdos
This is not a book review. This is just a review of a really bad movie, called The Million Dollar Hotel. A movie that has not been released in the United States, and hopefully never is, and is also not on epinions.
