Any book reviews on the novels "Ordinary People" by Judith Guest and "Secret Life of the Bees" by Sue Kidd?

admin — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 19:28:06 +0000

I have a summer reading project this summer where I have to read and do a report on one of the two novels. Anyone have any reviews on either of the two books, or have a personal favorite between the two? Thanks.
Also, comments on the length of the book would be appreciated, and whether or not it could be a ‘guy book’ (highschool).

I loved Secret Life Of Bees by Sue Kidd! it was so sad but really heart touching! It teaches you a lot i’ve seen the movie as well

How to create a free website for book reviews?

admin — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:19:14 +0000

I have a school project/ competition where I need to create a website. Everyone in my class got the same task and the best one will receive a price.

I’d like to make a website similar to "rotten tomatoes" but with books, and gather reviews from critics and get a rating for the book in %.

What’s the best, free, way to complete for that task? It needs to have the ability to "search".

All help would be appreciated

I think the best way to do this for free would be a blog!

Try http://wordpress.com/ to sign up for a free blog. You can choose a theme and then start writing your reviews! There’s a search function built in to most blogs and people are able to post their comments on each of your blog posts.

With seating for eight, a long list of standard comfort and convenience features, and cutting-edge technology designed to ensure the safety of all its passengers, the Saturn Outlook may just be the perfect family vehicle.

I know there are movie review websites, such as tribute.ca and rotten tomatoes. Are there any websites similar to these but for books?

Here are some book review sites:

Acura MDX – Kelley Blue Book’s Review

Acura MDX. Since its introduction in 2001 the Acura MDX has received acclaim for its comfortable ride, respectable off-pavement capability and manageable size, while the criticism revolved around its generic styling. For the second-generation MDX, Acura kicked the styling up a notch while at the same time improving on-road performance with forward-thinking technology. Like its predecessor, the seven-passenger MDX remains a family-friendly SUV, but a new 300-horsepower V6 and bold, angular design add a feeling of aggression that wasn’t present before.

Would you watch YouTube videos of book reviews?

admin — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 23:21:04 +0000

Hello world
I’m thinking of making a YouTube channel (with my mom’s permission of course) and doing Young Adult book reviews… the good, the bad, and the funny.
Would you watch it if you came across such a channel? Thanks for your time
Kelly: I’d be reviewing what’s hot.. probably all types of YA books, from Twilight to The Clique to The Uglies.

Yeah, totally. As long as you’re fair.

Some people say Harry Potter is bad, but those people probably don’t have the focus to read through it all teh way. If you’re that kind of person, probably not.
But if you’re funny, fair and nice to all books(even the ones that flat out suuck), then yeah. I’d probably watch it!

Post the link to the show, though!

Where to find online book reviews?

What is a good place to read reviews on books here on the internet?

Maybe the book equivalent of what rotten tomatoes does for movies?

Dodge Avenger – Kelley Blue Book’s Review

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 14:31:22 +0000

www.kbb.com
In a category dominated by uninspiring designs, the Dodge Avenger stands out as a mid-size sedan with style. Offering looks that mimic the aggressive Dodge Charger, the Avenger adds a dose of excitement to the typical family sedan formula.

In addition to stand-out styling, the Avenger offers an impressive list of exclusive features and creature comforts. And for you in traction-challenged areas, it is also one of the few cars in its segment to offer all-wheel-drive.

Title – What does it suggest?

Preface or Introduction – Provides important information about the author’s intentions or the scope of the book. Can you identify any limitations? Has the author ignored important aspects of the subject?

Table of Contents – Shows how the book’s organized — main ideas, how they’re developed (chronologically, topically, etc.)

Here is a book review that was written about To Kill a Mockingbird
