I got some great ideas for teaching students how to use Appleworks from this book. The lessons can be adapted for any similar type program.

This book was just okay. I found a lot of it very predictable and formulaic. It was a good read for an airplane trip though. The Da Vinci Code was better.

Ruth Rendell is on of my favorite mystery authors. This book was a sort of combo romance/mystery. I really liked it. It's not deep or anything but still enjoyable.

I didn't like this book that much. The main character does a lot of drugs and alcohol and the plot is hard to follow.

Good but not great. The blurb on the back made it seem like it was going to be a lot better than it was. (In my opinion.)
