“I read this book as one of other CLiC staff recommended the author. While we're not talking great literature, we are talking about a fun romp of a book. Lots of weird stuff, a mystery, adventure, a strong main character – I planning on reading the entire series. Valerie”

“One of the best books I've ever read. New Yorker writer Jeffrey Toobin knows how to make the story of the 9 Supreme Court Justices read like a novel. Then again, maybe their lives aren't so far from that of a novel... Shelley -- Based on Shelley's recommendation, I read this as well. Sandra Day O'Conner is my new forever favorite hero. We need another like her on the court - ASAP! Valerie”

“Never read this classic, and the new translation is supposed to be excellent. One of those books you should have a dictionary nearby! Shelley”

“This book is a departure from what you expect from Ken Follett. Set in 14th century England it lives of a family destined for greatness through designing and building cathedrals. The book starts out a little slow, but hang in there until page 80 of this 900 + page book.”

“Wow--this Batman tale for adults has dark, gorgeous, detailed art and great writing. I read this without having read the first book--"Batman: The Long Halloween"--and if I had to do it over, I'd read that one first. "Dark Victory" features some of the greatest Batman villains, but I particularly liked how they handled Robin, who is introduced in this volume. He functions as a poignant mirror to Batman's own childhood circumstances, and makes you realize how lonely it is to be Batman. With the next Christian Bale Batman movie coming out this summer, I'd recommend this book and its prequel to anyone who is hungry for more Batman in the same tone and style as the movies. --Robin ”

“If you have ever wondered why ideas or concepts don't stick in a person's memory - this is the book for you. The authors (brothers) give you the tools to create concepts that stick in a person's brain by following six simple rules. Really helpful advice if you ever have the need to persuade. ~ Judy Van Acker”
