Purple Hibiscus, Nigerian-born writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's debut, begins like many novels set in regions considered exotic by the western reader: the politics, climate, social customs, and, above all, food of Nigeria (balls of fufu rolled between the fingers, okpa bought from roadside vendors) unfold like the purple hibiscus of the title, rare and fascinating. But within a few pages, these details, however vividly rendered, melt into the background of a larger, more compelling story of a joyless family. Fifteen-year-old Kambili is the dutiful and self-effacing daughter of a rich man, a religious fanatic and domestic tyrant whose public image is of a politically courageous newspaper publisher and philanthropist. No one in Papa's ancestral village, where he is titled "Omelora" (One Who Does For the Community), knows why Kambili¹s brother cannot move one of his fingers, nor why her mother keeps losing her pregnancies. When a widowed aunt takes an interest in Kambili, her family begins to unravel and re-form itself in unpredictable ways. --Regina Marler
Book Description
Fifteen-year-old Kambili's world is circumscribed by the high walls and frangipani trees of her family compound. Her wealthy Catholic father, under whose shadow Kambili lives, while generous and politically active in the community, is repressive and fanatically religious at home.
When Nigeria begins to fall apart under a military coup, Kambili's father sends her and her brother away to stay with their aunt, a University professor, whose house is noisy and full of laughter. There, Kambili and her brother discover a life and love beyond the confines of their father's authority. The visit will lift the silence from their world and, in time, give rise to devotion and defiance that reveal themselves in profound and unexpected ways. This is a book about the promise of freedom; about the blurred lines between childhood and adulthood; between love and hatred, between the old gods and the new.

Great book.......2007-10-06
I really enjoyed Purple Hibiscus. I am intrigued by books of different cultures and places. Some of the content of the book was disturbing and at times heart breaking, but it made for a relistic view into this young girl's life. I am not a religous person at all but I have to say that the positive spirituality in this book was enlightening and touching. One of the things that struck me most was the differences in the way the African characters treated family. There was a lot of love, respect and genuine caring among them, even the younger generation. Being an American it always amazes me how much many other cultures value their extended family and are willing and WANT to do much for them. I am looking forward to reading another book by this author and highly reccomend this book.
As unique and beautiful as the title suggests.......2007-08-16
No wonder Chinua Achebe is delighted by Chimamanda Adichie. And no wonder she can dare weave his legendary title into her story's open. Chimamanda Adichie has a very special writing talent -- raw yet also subtly refined. Her story reads the way incredible dancers dance -- convincingly, passionately, honestly, and seemingly, without any effort. "Purple Hibiscus" is insightful, fresh, honest, real. If you like Haitian writer Edwidge Dandicott (whose work I adore!), especially "Krik Krak," I think you'll also like Chimamanda Adichie.
Good bookclub selection.......2007-07-02
I very much enjoyed this book. My bookclub, Reading Roses, read this as our June selectin and everyone really enjoyed it. I think this book brought out the most discussion we have had in a while. It was quite interesting to read about life in another country; well written; characters were well developed. Good choice for a bookclub.
Very engaging, but simplistic.......2007-06-24
I decided to read this book after Chimamanda won an award in London. The book was definitely worth reading. It grips you right from the very beginning and keeps you hooked till the very end. It also delves a lot into the Ibo Nigerian culture that makes me wonder if non-Nigerians can follow the entire story.
My only criticism is that the book is very simplistic, which may be a good thing for someone who just wants a very light reading.
Engrossing storytelling.......2007-05-07
Adichie takes any non-African reader into an enthralling fictional world without compromising anything about the context, history and sensibility of Nigerian life. She achieves this through sharp, immediate characterization and a strong storyline. It's not a "difficult" book - it's a total page-turner - but it packs a great deal of complexity beneath its apparently simple surface. When you finish this slim novel, you know you've been somewhere.

Book Description
Treehouses lift the spirits. They inspire dreams. They represent freedom: from adults or adulthood, from duties and responsibilities, from an earthbound perspective. If we can't fly with the birds, at least we can nest with them. With lively writing and beautiful photographs, Treehouses paints a fascinating portrait of this ingenious branch of architecture. It provides a brief history of treehouses, from Caligula through the Medici to Queen Victoria. It shows how to design and build a treehouse, from picking the right tree to shingling the roof. And it tells the stories of dozens of treehouses and the people who built them, from simple platforms nailed together by kids to arboreal palaces constructed and lived in by grown-ups. The centerpiece of the book is a photo essay showing Pete Nelson building a spectacular octagonal treehouse thirty feet up an old-growth fir on Saltspring Island in British Columbia. With two hundred square feet of floor space, cedar paneling, and leaded French doors, the Saltspring treehouse is one of the finest specimens of the treehouse builder's art. Anyone who has ever built a treehouse, or dreamed of it, or read Swiss Family Robinson, will find Treehouses irresistible.
Customer Reviews:
Never too Old for a Treehouse.......2007-08-13
I found the drawings of treehouse construction principles helpful and potentially life saving. The photos were beautiful and inspirational. This isn't the only treehouse building book I will own, but it was a good one to start out with.
Tree Huggers Beware........2002-12-15
Great Book, with lots of great pictures. Some technical stuff also. Another book that has a little bit on building tree houses is called "Shelters Shacks and Shanties by D.C. Beard. I love tree's myself but for you tree huggers complaining about a few nails, sheesh, your houses are full of lumber. Look in the walls at the studs, under the floors at the joists, kitchen cabinets, dining room table and chairs, bedroom furniture, etc. etc. so don't worry about a few nails in a tree eh, they love the iron in them anyhow!
Good Promotion for Treehouses.......2002-07-08
This book is 90% inspiration and 10% technical information. I don't think that there is enough information for someone wanting to build their own treehouse, but if you already have one of those books, then this one is a good companion for inspirational purposes.
Interesting at a high level.......2001-09-22
I was looking for something practical to help me design and build a tree house for my 5 year old. This is a great book if you want to consider "possibilities". It helped a little, as well in terms of providing conceptual designs. It was not as good in providing detailed plans on how to build a specific tree house. If you are an experienced builder you could probably take what they have here and develop your own blueprints. If you are a novice,and need detailed plans this book will not get you there.
Great fun!.......2001-07-20
In "Treehouses : The Art and Craft of Living Out on a Limb" Peter Nelson has come about as close as is possible to capturing the sheer joy of a treehouse in print. Through the use of beautiful photographs and ebullient prose he reveals the little kid in all of us that is just itching to climb a tree. He discusses the different forms that a treehouse can take: from a ramshackle affair built by children, to veritable mansions among the leaves. He also strives to capture what it is that makes a great treehouse; he seems to believe (and I agree) that a great treehouse isn't reflected so much in outer beauty, but in how it mirrors the essence of the tree itself.
Which brings me to a final point: many of the other reviewers have expressed concern about the fate of the trees. Let me reassure them that Nelson, both in his sample designs, and in his own constructions, encourages (and even lauds) limiting the use of nails driven into the tree to the bare minimum. In fact, he goes so far as to posit a treehouse constructed with no nails driven into living wood as an ideal.
This is a wonderful, engaging book. Anyone who has ever enjoyed climbing trees, or had a treehouse, or who wants to build a treehouse would do well to buy a copy. It is both an intriguing look at the architecture of these fanciful abodes, and a celebration of their spirit of freedom and escape.
Enjoy!

Book Description
An outspoken thinker, a celebrated actress, a truly independent woman, Shirley MacLaine takes us on an intimate yet powerful journey into her personal life and inner self.
An intense, clandestine love affair with a prominent politician sparks Shirley MacLaine's quest of self-discovery. From Stockholm to Hawaii to the mountainous vastness of Peru, from disbelief to radiant affirmation, she at last discovers the roots of her very existence...and the infinite possibilities of life.
Shirley MacLaine opens her heart to explore the meaning of a great and enduring passion with her lover Gerry and the mystery of her soul's connection with her best friend David. And through it all, Shirley MacLaine's courage and candor opens new doors, new insights, new revelations -- and a luminous new world she invites us all to share.

One of my favorite books and movies EVER.......2007-02-08
I thought this book was amazing when it first came out, when I was literally a teenager and first starting to think about life and what it all meant. I believe I have re-read this book over the years at least 6 times, and I always get something from it. For some reason this book is like an old friend I go back to again and again. I also loved the movie, love the ideas it presents, the way you watch Shirley struggle - as we all do (I am now 42, and can really relate to where she was at that time) - with relationships, friendships, family, and the search for spirituality and meaning in this life. I thought her love affair with Gerry was touching, how there was such a connection that she couldn't understand for a long time (though I am a little judgmental when it comes to affairs with married men, so I wasn't so comfortable about that part). We've all been drawn toward someone or repelled from someone so strongly and had trouble shaking the feeling, so it was interesting to see that it all may be about far more than what is happening on the surface. The movie was sweet, and sad, and funny, and touching, and really humanized celebrity in a way that brought home that we're all just people struggling to find our way. I've read nearly all of her books, with The Camino being the last. For some reason that was just too "out there" for me. A really good follow-up was It's All in the Playing, documenting Shirley's experience while filming the movie. It also discussed John Heard, "David" in the movie, who is such a tremendous actor. He wasn't much of a believer in the subject matter when approached to do the movie, and it was very interesting to read the behind-the-scenes of it all. So I would recommend this book whole-heartedly. Interesting and thought-provoking, both.
An Egotist's Mid-Life Crisis, Part One?.......2006-05-22
Here is this book in a nutshell: Shirley Maclaine, one-time Hollywood A-lister, finds herself in her early forties (during the mid-1970's) and as many people do upon reaching this hypothetical mid-point in life, Shirley Maclaine feels an inner motivation to seek out answers to humanity's heftiest questions. Does life have meaning? What happens when we die? Has she been on the right path? Is there a God? Is there anything beyond or outside the visible world? While all these are normal, natural, respectable inquiries that anyone with any substance surely makes at some point, the unfortunate fact is Maclaine asked these questions in the time and place she did---California in the '70's---and like the proverbial P.T. Barnum maxim about a you-know-what and his money, this financially-secure starlet soon fell into the clutches of a number of cons and frauds and fake "channelers" who filled her head with non-sense, even as they emptied her bank account. Toss into this retro-New Age tale a trek into the wilds of Peru, some asides about UFO's, an affair with a married British MP (later revealed to be a disguise for Swedish Prime Minister Olaf Palma) a friendship with what was surely an emotionally-scarred young man whose mental issues Maclaine confused with "depth" and you got it all. Maclaine is perhaps to be commended for her courage in presenting her experiences and newfound convictions before the public, and for clinging to her beliefs while being made fun of by those who do not hail the legitimacy of spirit channelers who charge mega-bucks for their services, but what it all comes down to is this: she asked good questions and got (expensive) bad answers in return.
Shirley Charlemaign.......2006-02-15
Adam and Eve is at it again. Great movie that summarizes all that we know to be real and doesn't pull any punches or spon the insanity of reality.
poor demon-possessed Shirley.......2006-02-03
How sad that so many people have been fooled by a troubled woman who herself is being fooled by the demon spirits of the so-called New Age movement.
Satan transformed himself into an angel of light, bringing the forbidden fruit of knowledge. How little things have changed since then.
Independent confirmation.......2005-12-26
For those who have already read this book: the girl "Mayan" who Shirley's friend David tells her about at the end of the book? Well ... it turns out David was not the only fellow to ever encounter her!! A young man named Ted Rice met a strange girl named "Maya" in Idaho, and just like she did to "David," Maya also taught Ted metaphysical information, showed him a UFO, and more similar things. For the story, read the book "Masquerade of Angels" by Karla Turner. It's available free at karlaturner.org.
Book Description
Faberville bookstore owner Claire Malloy is ruminating over the state of her love life when she gets disturbing news. Elderly Miss Emily Parchester is up a tree. Chained to an old oak, packing a thermos of tea and a gun, the retired schoolteacher is ready to go down with the ship, or rather the tree, before she'll let another historic piece of Farberville be bulldozed in the name of "progress," i.e., developer Anthony Armstrong's condominiums.With Miss Parchester armed, and therefore dangerous, Claire fears this noble act will end tragically. Unfortunately, it does-when someone murders Armstrong. And suddenly Claire herself is out on a limb: a baby has been left on her doorstep, the child's teenage mom is suspect number one in Armstrong's death, and Claire needs to find the real killer fast. Especially when she discovers Miss Parchester knows more than she's willing to tell......
Customer Reviews:
Unique Storyline.......2004-02-06
Joan Hess is one of my favorite authors, so my opinion of Out on a Limb is biased by the fact that I was sure I would like it before I bought it.
The best part of this book was the unique storyline. As you have no doubt read the description supplied by the publisher, I won't rewrite it here. I will just say that while other humorous mystery writers use the same storylines over and over, Hess comes up with fantastic new ideas each time. I loved this story about the Green Party, and I love the recurring characters in Claire Malloy's life -- in this case, Miss Parchester.
Even if I had guessed the ending of Out on a Limb before the last page of the book, I enjoy the style of Hess' writing so greatly that I cannot wait to see what Claire will do next.
If you like the Maggody books or have read the other Claire Malloy books, I recommend this one. It's a light, easy read that will at times make you Laugh Out Loud Caron Malloy-style.
A disappointing addition to the series.......2003-11-18
Joan Hess is always a great read, but this Claire Malloy adventure wasn't up to her normal standard. Luanne and Caron were the actual stars this time, which was lots of fun, but Claire's lackadaisical parenting and business skills were just too prominently featured for me to enjoy the plot (would China Bayles give her the time of day? A smidge of personal growth wouldn't be too out of place in this series!) -- and the ending didn't make any sense, not because of the "who dunnit," but because the logistics were very questionable. Finally, not a single character mentioned the the baby to the police, even in passing? I guess I'll have to wait for the next installment to have a better "Joan Hess fix".
Just so-so.......2003-04-18
Potboiler; passes the time when there was nothing more interesting at the library. The cop boyfriend is a really cardboard character. A bunch of weird excentics. Won't check out any more. Try Ann Cranger or Deborah Crombie for a GOOD read.
Fun book to read.......2003-02-15
this was a fun book to read & it kept you guessing.
Claire sure knows how to get around a question when the police ask her something. She kept everyone guessing through the whole book & the ending is a surprise.
Another wonderful book by Joan Hess
Great addition to series.......2003-02-07
Claire Malloy, bookseller and amateur sleuth, is a person I would love to have living next door. She is wickedly funny and incredibly sharp. With a cast of supporting characters who weave in and out of the main storyline, her neighborhood seems the most interesting in Farberville, Arkansas. Humor and an intriguing storyline make this a welcome addition to the Claire Malloy series which seems refreshed with every entry. I recommend them all for fun reading.

On the Road (in Queen Bess's England).......2006-02-24
If you are familiar with writer John Myers Myers at all, it is likely because you have read either his cult classic literary fantasy `Silverlock', or one of his histories of the American West. Myers' five historical novels have been mostly out of print for ages, and it is likely that even many great fans of his work have not read them. This is unfortunate, for many of the elements that make `Silverlock' and his histories such unique and entertaining works are present in his historical fiction as well. `Out On Any Limb' is an excellent example of this fact.
`Out On Any Limb' is a fast paced, entertaining adventure story set in the England of Elizabeth I. The story line should be familiar to anyone who has read any of Myers' fiction - a shallow young gentleman takes to the road, goes through a series of adventures through which he matures and gains knowledge both of himself and the wider world. It is a simple story that allows for a maximum of interesting adventures, as well as showing off the author's excellent understanding of the period in which it is set. Through the first person narration of protagonist Ingram Applegarth, gentleman, Myers gives us glimpses into social class, criminal justice, and court intrigue of 16th century England. We are introduced to characters ranging from aristocrat court favorites to the rogues, tinkers, and doxies who homelessly wandered the highways, all lined with great realism.
Myers had a great talent for using contemporary dialogue to lend a feeling of realism to his historical tales. The characters in `Out On Any Limb' speak in language that was familiar to the mid 20th century rather than making any attempt to use pseudo Shakespearian 16th century English. This technique eliminates one of the barriers to the suspension of disbelief, and works well in portraying customs of the period that are alien to modern minds.
The book is not without its weaknesses. Myers was sometimes negligent when creating characters. Though the protagonist is fully realized, as is his patron Sir Chidiock Sangrel, many others never rise above a single dimension. Even Giles, Ingram's best friend, traveling companion, and constant rival in frequent attempted romances, is little more than a cipher who is barely distinguishable from his companion.
It would be inaccurate to describe `Out On Any Limb' as a great classic, but it is a fine example of historical fiction adventure, and is great light entertainment. Anyone who has read and enjoyed Myers' masterpiece, `Silverlock', will find in this book many of the same elements which made that work so charming - from its structure as a road adventure to the use of Myers delightful original verse as songs throughout the novel. If you are a John Myers Myers fan, consider it well worth your while to scour used bookstores and libraries to find this long out of print book - you will not be disappointed.

EXCELLENT.......2001-05-18
If you are searching for more meaning to life, Shirley does some major leg-work for you in this book.
She travels the world and references many credible sources and spiritual hotspots... the way she analyzes situations, and gives a thorough perspective of both sides of the coin is plenty to be satisfied for the beginning of "your" search.
This book will grip you, and is a great first step to spiritual awakening!

Is there an a million stars rating???!!!.......2006-01-30
I have read a lot of books, including Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter, and this truly leaves them in the dust!!! I can't even put how much I love this book into words. I bought this one and got it autographed the day it came out, as I did with the first book. (Our family knows F. W. Faller.) Wow. I didn't know it was even POSSIBLE for a book to be THIS AMAZING. So what are you waiting for? READ IT!!!!!!!!!
Great Second Book.......2004-07-11
F.W. has done it again. This book is well written and like the first held me on page 1 to page 425.
Another excellent book.......2004-07-01
Superb. I can't really can't put more words into it. There is a lot in the book, and the amazing part of the book is in it's complex simplicity. (follow that one). You can try and figure out the mysteries of the book from the beginning, or simply let it wash over you.
Superb, Spectacular, and AMAZING!!.......2004-05-18
Fallers Characters are engaging from the first page to the last, there is much action, and adventure to keep one from getting bored, this is a real page burner, one that is best read on a weekend as you won't want to put it down at night!
There are many truths to be learened, and lessons to be gleaned from the pages, I have never read anything quite like it~
Even "A Sword For The Immerland King" another gerat read, from Faller, cannot compare to the mastery of Lonama'a Map.
There is an amazing balance of intelect, and adventure in this book to keep readers of all ages engaged!

And we’ve topped it all of with our “School Says” section—in which participating schools can talk back by providing their own profiles. The Princeton Review gives students all of the information they need to find the perfect match in a medical school.
Customer Reviews:
Not the same Princeton.......2007-02-03
It should be noted that "The Princeton Review" has nothing but its name in common with Princeton University. It's an "educational preparation" company, whose core business is test coaching.
The contents of this book have not been authorised, or as far as I know even seen, by Princeton University.
Shame on Princeton.......2007-02-03
This book includes, as one of the best 162, "Bastyr University" which is neither school for MDs or OD -- but for naturopaths! Naturopathy is total quackery and has nothing to do with real medical schools. But I'm sure the naturopaths will be delighted to see this apparent endorsement by Princeton.
Also this book uses the term "allopathic" to refer to real medical schools. This term is a derogatory word invented in the 19th century by homeopaths to refer to those practices that aren't homeopathic.
Overall a good guide.......2006-06-21
Being a non-traditional applicant I found this guide very helpful- it has a lot of useful information on preparing for med school including MCAT, applications, essays, interviewing, etc. Another bonus- it has a section explaining the differences and similarities between allopathic & osteopathic med schools which other guides don't cover adequately. The only negative about this guide is the applicant stats on the profiled schools- it isn't up to date but I guess this can be remedied by referring to the annual guides published by AAMC or AOA.
Poor compilation........2005-12-10
I was expecting this book to go above and beyond what the Medical School Admissions Requirements provides (published by the AAMC). Instead, it fell short in several basic areas, and I decided to promptly return it. To be honest, I'm a little angry with TPR for putting out such a mediocre guide. Don't waste your time--just buy the MSAR--it's a much richer source of information.
