| 1. |  | Cybill Disobedience from Avon Customer Review:  Well, I did finish this book. Will delete it immediately as if washing my hands after completing a nasty task. The writing is fine. Having said that I must also say that, by the end of the book, I couldn't muster even an inkling of caring, empathy or sympathy for someone who has, by her own... |

| 2. |  | Sh*t My Dad Says from It Books Customer Review:  I've followed Justin on Twitter for over a year and was cautiously excited to read this book. I wasn't sure the witt of 140-character-or-less postings would translate well to a book but it seems to work. The book contains the sayings intermingled amoung stories and other family history. It's a fun... |

| 3. | ![Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in Space [UK Edition]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51mNZU8uv0L._SL160_.jpg) | Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in Space [UK Edition] from Oneworld Publications Customer Review:  I was very surprised at the amount of effort put into certain topics in this books while other, serious issues, don't rate more than a foot note. If you want to get information on space food and how it was developed for the Gemini/Apollo missions, here it is. She brings this topic into the... |

| 4. |  | Phantom of the Opera, The from HarperAudio Customer Review: Well, I've been accused of never having read Gaston Leroux's original work nor heard of Jerrold E. Hogle's literary dissection of the original work. Funny...this is the copy that I purchased and have highlighted, written inside, and dissected to death. Nevertheless, I'll move on from that comment... |

| 5. |  | Super Sad True Love Story: A Novel from Random House Customer Review:  If Dostoevsky were alive today and writing about the world we live in, he wouldn't be able to produce a book as fun and as cringe inducing as Super Sad True Love Story. Shytengart has solidified his place as our generations heir to the throne of the russian literary prophet. The only problem is that... |

| 6. |  | The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals from Penguin Customer Review: Highly recommended. You will find out some things that are very dismaying, but it also provides the impetus for changing diet and exploring better, more ethical, more healthy options. It certainly has made a Farmer's Market shopper out of me. A must read for anyone eating in 2010. |

| 7. |  | Northanger Abbey (Bantam Classic) from Bantam Classics Customer Review: Jane Austen's first completed novel is lighter and more humorous in tone than her subsequent work. It is however, as beautifully written as that later work - there was, as always with Austen, a lot of rewriting before publication, which in this case was posthumous - and it is in no sense an inferior... |

Rodriguez English The Glass Castle 7/12/2010 A little girl wanders through the desert and gets bit by a rattle snake, she is found by her parents soon after.

| 9. |  | Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything from HarperAudio Customer Review: I saw the video documentary of the book first. I was so unimpressed that I borrowed a copy and read it. I was hoping the book was more insightful than the video because I heard so many good things about it. Basically, it talked about stuff the average adult person should already know or doesn't... |

| 10. |  | True Prep: It's a Whole New Old World from Knopf Customer Review: Lisa Birnbach is an exceptionally funny writer. Unlike so many purportedly humorous books, True Prep is masterfully written and actually makes you laugh. Birnbach (and/or maybe Kidd) really know how to craft a joke, turning sentences in ways you don't expect. How informative is the book? I don't... |
