Several lists of most popular, most likely to succeed, best celebrity names, etc. in addition to the very large alphabetized lists.

An interesting read about a girl's journey leaving home and unexpectedly becoming a mother. She finds a community and shares her adventure through simple-minded young eyes. An easy read that will only take a few days.

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America
Review Date: 1/8/2010
Helpful Score: 2


I loved this book! It takes factual history and spins it into a book you immediately jump in to. With each fact, I was wanting to check google and read more. Definitely recommend this book to any history-lover, Chicago-native (or surrounding area), or architectual-lover. I'll be checking out this author's other works.

My husband recommended I read this after he did and he is not an avid reader. I enjoyed the "realness" of it and how it gave an honest look at Rudy. Also includes some good practical advice for your own life.

I expected more from this book and almost stopped reading it several times. I struggled through it and the ending got a little easier to read. I would recommend it as an easy read but not as a must read.


Pregnancy Sucks for Men: What to Do When Your Miracle Makes You BOTH Miserable

Excellent book for men! I read it along with my husband to verify the accuracy and enjoyed it as much as he did. Very easy and fast read with male-centered humor and antedotes.


Screamfree Parenting: The Revolutionary Approach to Raising Your Kids by Keeping Your Cool
Review Date: 6/12/2008
Helpful Score: 3


I heard a lot about this book and hesitated to pay so much for it. I ended up getting it for Christmas and was disappointed. The book could have been condensed down to 10 pages and still have made its point.

This book was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it to anybody just thinking about it. It's a read you will not regret spending time with. Also, one you can read in a short period of time. It did bring me to tears (with lots of restraint in public) and will undoubtly touch your spirit as well.

Hoping and looking forward to a movie!!!
