.Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, Volume 1: The Long Way Home
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: Joss Whedon, Andy Owens

October 31, 2007
I ordered the comic, because I was dying to find out what happened after the last episode. Though I am glad to know which characters are doing what,... I was thoroughly dissapointed in the comics. I have never been a comic book reader, and will remain that way. I am a huge Buffy fan and will always hope that the series will come back to TV, or go on in actual books.

.The Dangerous Days of Daniel X
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: James Patterson

July 21, 2008
I used to enjoy Krispy Kreme donuts. I used to enjoy James Patterson. For similar reasons, I forswore them both some time ago.

Patterson produces novels at nearly the same rate Krispy Kreme produces donuts and like the donuts, there's almost no nutritional value. Over time, I forget how vacuous they are and think, "Why did I give these things up, they LOOK good". The next day however, suffering from aesthetic remorse, I renew my vow of abstinence.

"The Dangerous Days of Daniel X" is an example of how dependent Patterson has become on the contributions of "co-writers" (I suspect these "co-writers" are the ACTUAL creators while Mr. Patterson does little more than attach his name to the franchise.) The content of "Daniel" is strikingly ... Read More:

.Heart of Darkness
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: Joseph Conrad

2004-09
Classics of western literature tend to take on an air of infallibility, with billions of English professors offering interpretations that become better known than the work itself. The baggage-free reader of "Heart of Darkness" will find that Conrad used a lot of vague allegory and symbolism that lent a haunting and disturbing feel to the story. But Conrad's symbolism is sometimes so diffuse that a cynical reader may find that the English professors are seeing what they want to see, and that the story might be a little too short and stunted to truly inspire a century of over-analytical aggrandizement. Conrad was surely commenting on the dangers faced by European colonialists in Africa and their tendencies toward cruelty and megalomania. But since he focused more on the travails ... Read More:

.The Complete Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set (Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne's House of Dreams, ... Rainbow Valley, Rilla of Ingleside)
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: L.M. Montgomery

October 01, 1990
This review is for "Anne of Green Gables" which is the first of eight books in the series. It is a wonderful story, with uplifting and positive views toward life and what's important in life - relationships and caring for others. This story feels like life in a Norman Rockwell painting. Although it is classified as young adult (primarily girls ages 9 and older), as an adult I found it worthwhile and uplifting.

Story brief:
Anne Shirley is an imaginative and optimistic orphan with a keen sense of beauty and justice. At age 11, she is adopted by an elderly couple who live on a farm in Prince Edward Island, off the eastern coast of Canada. The story covers her life from ages 11 to 16 ½. In this book Anne attends the local school and then a boarding school where ... Read More:

.Last Christmas: The Private Prequel (Private)
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: Kate Brian

October 07, 2008
The Private series centers on Reed Brennan, a scholarship student, and the chains of events that unfold when she enters the Easton Academy and moves to the Billing House -- the most exclusive and sought-after girls dormitory in campus. Those who have read the series knows that she falls victim to Ariana Osgood after she starts dating seventeen-year-old resident hottie and rogue Thomas Pearson. Now we finally get Ariana's side of the story -- the things that occur before Reed sets foot at Easton. Ariana Osgood has always been a good girl. A constant overachiever, she gets the best grades in school, is a Billings girl, has a boyfriend who is a big Easton legacy, and has her eyes set on Princeton. But no one -- not even her best friend Noelle -- knows that she does it all to make her ... Read More:

.What to Do When You're Scared and Worried: A Guide for Kids
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: James J. Crist

2004-03
This is a completely thorough, easy to read book that will give you an understanding of what your anxious child is going through and how you can help. It explains exactly what anxiety is and what your child is going through. It also explains how to set goals to help your child through this very difficult time. No matter what type and severity of your child's anxiety, this is a must have book. My 8-year-old has a specific phobia (I didn't realize until I was reading this book) and we are currently working to help her deal with it. I have never reviewed a book but I feel so strongly that anyone who has a child with anxiety issues or knows someone who does, to GET THIS BOOK.

.Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1)
City Travel Guides > Books > Teens
by: Christopher Paolini

June 25, 2003
I happen to be a reader that saw the movie before I was aware there was a book. I then read the second book Eldest first which I enjoyed a great deal and recently read Eragon (Book 1). The movie was alright but I don't think it does the book justice. The movie is like a short condensed to fault version with a different ending. All in all, I say Eragon was a good and interesting book.
