1.To Kill a Mockingbird by: Harper Lee October 11, 1988
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.01
... mainly because it is such a good story and so well written. Come to think of it, not much of this book is really about the rape and crime. It is about childhood, growing up and growing prejudice. It is about not only racism but also feminism. Scout, the main character, has such a lovely personality and I really started to like her. It was almost like I knew her and parts of me fell in love with Jem, her brother. I found parts of the slang a bit hard to read and it took a good 100 pages before the story had me that intrigued that I couldn't put it down. Sometimes you read a book and you really do realize why some books last with us and literature forever and why some don't. This book deals with human joy and suffering, ideals and rebels, crime and punishment and of course of race and sad ... Read More

To Kill a Mockingbird (Collector's Edition) Lone fathers and their kids have been a hit in many movies. I have severl examples, like, Ryan and Tatum O'Neil in Paper Moon, Jon Voight and Ricky Schroeder in the re-make of 'The Champ' and Dustin Hoffman and Justin Henry in Kramer vs Kramer. Gregory Peck, won an Academy Award, for playing a sole parent, and he's never been better. The script for this movie was based upon Harper Lee's sensitive and intelligent novel set in racially-torn Alabama. Gregory Peck, plays Atticus Finch, a wise lawyer bravely raising his two kids Jem(Phillip Alford) and Scout(Mary Badham) in the hot-headed Southern town. The crux of the plot is Finch's defence of a colored man accused of rape. The film was put together by two excellent film-makers, producer Alan J. Pakula ... Read More

I skipped reading this in high school, but I have recently decided to go back and read all of the books I should have already read. This was awesome. I don't think I would have fully understood it ten years ago. Truly eye-opening.

Lord of the flies is a tough read due to the content. The symbolism is even tougher. The Cliff Notes helped me pull out things I had not seen on my own.

This book is wild! It is moooooooving. My daughter needed this book for her class. I had her read a chapter of the book, then read the cliff notes for the chapter. Hopefully this helped the book to sink in her head! Everything came in good condition.

8.The Odyssey (Cliffs Notes) by: Stanley P. Baldwin June 05, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $5.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.01
Most people I know have to read the book at some time in high school or college; this cliffs note guide offers generally the same type of review information you could find for free online, though of course its trim paperback format makes it a more convenient, portable size for flipping through and taking notes in while in a line or a waiting room. I got it for free or a sale (it's been awhile) with the book The Odyssey itself but didn't find it to be a particularly helpful companion to the book. I'd suggest just taking notes as you read and useing them.

I enjoyed reading Lord of the Flies by William Golding. It was a very well written novel. Although I believe the beginning started really slow and did not grab my attention right a way, but as I kept going the book became more and more interesting. Golding sure knows how to make a huge plot flow and was able to create a huge conflict for the story. The conflict in the end teaches some very valuable life lessons for the reader and the characters. Golding expressed each character extremely well. Each character was unique. The only characters that were very similar were the twins, but they were like one character rather than two characters. The four main characters Ralph, Piggy, Simon, and Jack all add to the story. Ralph is the elected leader and he believes very much in keeping order and government. Ralph ... Read More
