What's it about?
No violence, gentlemen, no violence–I beg of you! Consider the furniture! - Sherlock HolmesPosted 2 years ago # -
It's about this guy who is given the chance to see what his life will be like if he does not accept God's mercy, and then he's given the chance to mend his ways; it's got a surprise ending! It's in modern times, so it's not a fantasy...but it's one of the best books I've ever read and really worthwhile. A wonderful tear-jerker!

Suggestions! (Yeah I know, that's what we all need, more books for our already-overflowing reading lists. ;))
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
The Thief, The Queen of Attolia, The King of Attolia (the last is the best, but you have to read TT first I suppose)
The Man Who Was Thursday
I Am David
The Wolves Chronicles by Joan Aiken (some are NOT worth reading and some are awesome...it's weird)
Till We Have Faces
Beauty by Robin McKinley
Any Jeeves and Wooster books by P.G. WodehouseThat's enough for now, I suppose.

I'll ditto Alyosha's Beauty, Till We Have Faces, The Queen's Thief books, and The Man Who Was Thursday.
I'll have to look for I Am David if you like it so, Alyosha.
I'll add to that list some of my tip-top favorites:
The Toothpaste Millionaire by Jean Merrill
Leepike Ridge by N. D. Wilson
The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo (refrains from posting the whole title)
The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau
The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett
Holes by Louis Sachar
The Giant by William Pene Du BoisAnd these as side dishes:
Eric in the Land of the Insects by Godfried Bomans
Trouble at Timpetill and Mystery of the Roman Ransom and Detectives in Togas by Henry Winterfeld
The Story of a Bad Boy by Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Instead of Three Wishes by Megan Whalen Turner"These last stands in a house make good stories, but nothing ever came of them. After their first few repulsed the enemy always sets the house on fire." -- ??Posted 2 years ago # -
Alrighty...
Owan, we actually have some of those reviewed:
Holes and Mystery of the Roman Ransom and Detectives in Togas
Stay tuned for City of Ember. I have a review, but it's not coming 'til August.

Of these new suggestions, I've read Till We Have Faces and I Am David. Both were good, but I didn't feel up to reviewing them at the time.
And I read The Tale of Despereaux several years ago, but I don't remember it very well, so I might look into it again.
I recognize the author of The Giants... He did The Twenty-One Balloons, which we have reviewed.

I've never read Twenty-One Balloons but since I liked The Giant I probably should... Oh yes, do read Despereaux again, Ruth.

Yup yup, I loved Holes and I Am David. The Amazing Maurice and blah blah, I stopped it! It was weird.

I have some books you might like to review!
'The Palace of Laughter' by Jon Berkeley; first book in the Wednesday Tales trilogy, the best of them in my opinion. Fresh and original.
'The Extraordinary and Unusual Adventures of Horatio Lyle', by Catherine Webb; absolutely amazing. And when I found out how old she was, I became so jealous.
'The Obsidan Dagger', by Catherine Webb; second Horatio Lyle book, again very good.
'Airborn', by Kenneth Oppel; science fiction with a different twist. Great adventure.
'Skybreaker', by Kenneth Oppel; comes after Airborn and way more exciting!Posted 8 months ago #
