Dream…For a Better Tale Next Time

Mon, 2 Feb 2004 10:50:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author agklocke - If you stripped the name Stephen King from the book, true fans would still know he wrote it. No one can play with words the way the King can, and he once again weaves an unusual tale that leaves the reader nicely satisfied. Well, mostly. Dreamcatcher...

Mon, 19 Jan 2004 15:30:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author agklocke - Few books leave me thinking of it days after finishing it. Even fewer can make me cry. Far Above Rubies touched me like so few others can. Author Cynthia Polansky, exercising "some literary license with the narrative," tells the tale of Holocaust...

Fri, 9 Jan 2004 15:09:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author agklocke - He was inmate number 74233-101. The year was 1972. And he was still, by all rights, just a kid. Author Jack Gantos immediately opens his newest book with candid honesty about his past. And what's interesting about Hole in My Life is that it isn't...

Sat, 29 Jun 2002 15:21:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author agklocke - In over three years, I never spilled anything on my keyboard. Oh, I read about accidents others had on a daily basis, and I always patted myself on the back for being so careful. But that was before the black ants came. When they stopped by, they aided...

Mon, 4 Mar 2002 15:22:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author agklocke - In just a few short hours, I started and completed A Child Called "IT". And when I was finished, I sat in deep thought. Unlike many others, though, my thoughts were a bit different. Am I cold-hearted and unfeeling? And why would I ask such of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author agklocke - Ah, the smell of Play-Doh. It always takes me back to the days of being a child, spending hours (or minutes - they always seemed like hours as a child) shaping and reshaping the colorful dough. It is truly a classic playtime activity. But my children...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author agklocke - It was at the top of my Christmas list. After being beyond tired of having to heat my coffee in the microwave after it brewed in my old coffee maker, I let my husband know that a new coffee maker would be wonderful. Luckily, he is the type that takes...

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 19:38:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author agklocke - From the time I was a newbie, I have always heard one should steer clear of AOL. When my mother-n-law got it for her computer, I was convinced that I had been warned away with good reason. Her time with AOL was not a happy one so I finally was able to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author agklocke - A few months ago, I was very ill and was unable to sit at my desk for long periods of time. Being the sole employee of my own business, not working was not so much an option if I planned to stay in business. A choice had to be made. Either cut back on...
