wrprofit - I love the ending.
princeofhearts - a must read book
sexy_kaye - Its very inspirational..lets you dream and just believe.
this is one of my all time favorite books and movies...."sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken" is my favorite quote from lilith - liked from rocksupreme's entry perkins - Awesome book that explains a little more than the movie.
Now, I consider this film the highlight of Jack Nicholson's illustrious career. Milos Forman's film adaptation about a man charged of a crime but placed in a mental institution was a run-away winner in the Oscars. The story was engaging (God I hate that nurse Ratched) and acting were great. You could see the young Danny De Vito here as one of the mental patients. from quick24 sn9500 - This was one of high school's must reads. A classic....
quesea - Reminds me of a hospital where I used to work
catwoman1459 - This is a classic, Jack at his best.
sittonbull - Well Jack is a special personality who a good producer could build many films around, so anything he's in will be outstanding as this was! Kesey's best book, and an excellent film also, in my opinion is Sometimes a Great Notion. Not a bad cast there either with Newman, Fonda and Lee Remick.
This book is not so much a sci-fi or horror book, but rather a collection of how various people and types of people might react to a horrific event. It's a great study of psychology and the human condition. The things that will horrify you are not the zombies... it's what people will do to other people to avoid the zombies. Very well written. from poobah jakeg - The follow up to The Zombie Survival Guide, this book shows how the world would be like after a zombie apocalypse. An excellent read.
ubernoobwp - I have the book. Awesome though i lost it a few weeks back. ZOMBIE FTW. also helps in survival =D
Great love story. I of course read the English translation, but Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a great story teller whose magic is not lost in translation. from arvind monkeyshine - timeless and beautiful
ravi - Liked the book much more than the movie
pam - I didn't care for 100 years of solitude, but this I liked.
katrina - Lovely book!
Dan Brown has an amazing ability to churn out books that simply suck you in with amazing story lines and plot twists. from gefunk - liked from tanydgr8's entry katkimjac - hmmmm never heard this book... have to add this to my list of books to read!
i feel in love with Lestat that might sound weird but i dont care Anne Rice has got too bee one of the greatest writers of all time ,she draws you into her book and there's no letting go from gerby The book deals with extremely profound concepts and powerful themes of life and I absolutely loved it. It's a very unique novel and definitely not for all. You can enjoy it and derive something out of it, only if you are able to appreciate the school of thought and if you lean towards the spiritual side of life. It's well worth a read. from pratimajayaram quesea - Herman Hesse was an analysand of Carl G. Jung's. Reading Siddartha one can see the influence of Archetypal Psychology. Two great men. One great story. I can hardly stand the synchronicity of it all (grin). All joking aside, I enjoy the story and the journey to the East.
I read the story on wikipedia and it sounds preety much similar to the story of the film Slumdog Millionaire. I guess the Slumdog Millionaire story was adapted from this book Q and A from vjsinduja If you liked Fight Club, you'll love this. Same Palahniuk style. The movie doesn't make much sense w/o reading the book first. from mattmusgrave I wasn't sure if I would like this book. I mean my first foray into Anne Rice was the movie Interview with the Vampire. And I hated it. So I thought I would hate the book. I found the book at a library book sale. It cost a dollar so I decided to get it. Well to say I like it is an understatement. I have read the first four books in the series and want to own them all someday. I was very sad when I found out she wouldn't be writing any more vampire stories. from netsirk - liked from dollface's entry Club Dead is the another in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlene Harris. It's not quite as readable as the previous books, but has some fun and intriguing moments.
It's about a small town southern woman dealing with love, sex, and morals in a world where vampires out 'out'.
Fun and a totally different look and feel than other vampire stories. from tojosan mordacity - This series has been one of the best written vampire series I've read. :)
terry_kate_ritbs - Well even though I find Sookie a little too passive I am a fan of the series. I love Eric!
emilys - Is the character in True Blood - Sookie a reference to this one?
mizzv - i liked this one
denitta - Liked it, the addition of the Were's and Alcide...
I'm not usually a fiction reader, but this book was so well written, and the story so interesting, I couldn't put it down, and was actually sad to reach the end! from eyebee If you haven't had the chance to listen to the audio-book, you should. It's read by Neil Gaiman himself, so it flows the way it's supposed to. from gazared - liked from ccb's entry Ms. Harris brings it rough and ready in this book. The kids gloves are off with poison, torturous pain, sex, violence, and implied eroticism. This is not your teen's reading anymore.Sookie once again takes a task for Eric, ... more ... from tojosan mordacity - This series has been one of the best written vampire series I've read. :)
gandem - Love these books
furryfriendsri - I love Eric!
If you want a reason to look behind you every few steps by all means read this book. It will make you incredibly paranoid...plus the quirky writing is amazing. from gefunk This book has everything - mystery, suspense, love, etc. I recommended it to a friend who was looking for a Christmas present for his mom, and she loved it! So I think my recommendation is spot on :) from thatswhatjesaid tima - Jeanna, I've added "The Thirteenth Tale" to my TBR list.
Betty Gordon
I remember reading this book. The first 500 pages were devoted to character development. I appreciated that, because it made the next 500 so believably frightening. I was 12 at the time. from chrissy - liked from sdesciencelover's entry This is a book with amazing heart-wrenching about the plights of black women who used to work as maids before the civil war broke out. Reminds you of the classics like "Gone with the wind" and "to kill a mockingbird" from annah
