Evaluación: - Funny and enjoyable
Mark Twain sure knows how to write funny stories - and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is filled with them. My main criticism with the book is that there is no cohesive story. Instead there are several stories that are not connected to each other at all. The non-connected stories are funny, but there is no relation between them. It isn't until the book reaches the end where Twain begins to craft a cohesive storyline. It's definitely filled with some hilarious moments and great characters (Tom, Aunt Polly, and Huck), but as a whole I wouldn't classify this as a classic work of literature. For that you would have to read Twain's masterpiece "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."

Evaluación: - Scam
I was planning a trip with my 5 children and we were excited to listen to the tapes.
It was a disaster. Some of the tapes were broken and others were taped over with pop music.
I could not wait to throw them away.
I will never buy used from Amazan again.

Evaluación: - This seller never sent my book!
I never heard from this seller, despite emailing for a status update. I ended up going to a local B&N for the book, as my son needed it for summer reading. Amazon wrote to ask me for a review. I will be asking for a refund. I had forgotten because it was only a few bucks.

Evaluación: - A Classic!
My son was required to read this book this summer and he enjoyed it very much. It's a classic and I would recommend it even if it were not a requirement. Enjoy!

Evaluación: - Truly Great; can be enjoyed on Several Levels
Sure, this is a story about a boy. It is also a sharp delineation of the American character, a myth that includes episodes that harken back to Plato, Homer, the Old and New Testament, among other influences. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer presents a new kind of hero, a distinctly American hero, to world literature. From his low estate, due to his poverty, youth and incivility, Tom Sawyer surveys the grand vista of small town American life - and, by extension - America, and by his innocence and natural kindheartedness, redeems it from bigotry, intolerance, hypocrisy and all the ills that attend it. It is through Tom Sawyer's eyes that America is revealed as fresh and vital, even though in the novel he has no standing or prestige in the society. He eventually earns his prestige by a series of adventures that draws the town together and elicits it's highest potentialities. Tom Sawyer is the catalyst and the figure around which the Town realizes it's own highest ideals.

Evaluación: - Once Upon a Time...
Described as "an utterly charming fairy tale in the tradition of The Princess Bride and The Neverending Story," Neil Gaiman's Stardust is an extremely bewitching and absolutely addictive story that will have you turning pages well into the night to discover what will become of Tristan and the star. The magic contained within the pages of Stardust makes for a fantastic fairy tale for adults.

Neil Gaiman has created a motley cast of characters in Stardust - witches, fairies, gypsies, ghosts, sprites, unicorns and of course, the star. Our hero Tristran Thorne sets out on his quest and is quickly swept up in the adventure of his young life. Tristran is honorable and kind - a charming and extremely likable character. Surrounded by a cast of intriguing eccentrics, Tristran must retrieve the star in order to win the hand of the fair maiden Victoria.

Gaiman has conceived an entire world of wild enchantment and intrigue. With a swift moving plot, fully developed, realistic ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - A decent story of fantasy and love
I saw the movie Stardust and was interested in reading the book to hope for a better story because everyone always says books are better than movies. And the book had some variations from the movie, but overall it was pretty similar. Some parts were a tad slow though and honestly I didn't think the book was really better than the movie. They were just different. I still think the book was worth reading, and definitely so if you haven't seen the movie.

---

Evaluación: - Not too bad
Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen the movie first... I couldn't help making comparisons as I was reading it. It was a good story, lots of imagination and originality. Also, the writing style was clear and entertaining to read. But, the love story was kind of lacking, with point A to B with no stops in between. The ending was also anticlimactic. It wasn't a bad book at all, but not my favorite fantasy novel either. I give it 3.5 stars.

---

Evaluación: - We deserve good fairy tales
Adults deserve good fairy tales, too ~Neil Gaiman.

I have trouble being honest and critical with a well written book. Someone like Gaiman, in all his work so far, is able to create a world and characters that just pull you in and don't let you go. He is able to create the myths that make me suspend disbelief and the critical and writerly mind and just let go.

He does it here in _Stardust_. I have nothing to add in terms of the conflict or the characters because I lived and interacted with them. Books like this remind me why I loved reading so much when I was younger, before I sucked all the fun out by going to graduate school. Perhaps the resolution was telepgraphed to the reader, but that only comes out on reflection. Go get everything he's ever written, and remind yourself why you liked reading too.

We deserve good fairy tales, and we get them from Neil Gaiman. Thank you Neil.

Slightly shocked when I came across a ...explicit scene at page eleven. Good book besides that.

Evaluación: - Revives the Ghosts of High School Angst
Ghost World is a lovely, quirky, completely authentic graphic novel. It tells the tale of two teenage misfit girls as they wander aimlessly through the suburban dystopia of 1990s America. They are too smart for their own good and their friendship is complex - needy, supportive, and questioning all at the same time. These are the teens that sit at a separate lunch table in high school, mocking the system, unable to find relationships with boys because no one measures up to their expectations, while they are not accepted by the mainstream themselves.

It's been said that the more specific, the more personal the story, the more universal appeal it has. This is certainly true of Ghost World. The characters of Ghost World are so finely drawn, so specific that they are like none you've ever met before. Yet you know exactly who they are. You've seen kids like them. Maybe you were like them.

I have read no other graphic novel that so perfectly illustrates the teen angst ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - read a book with a storyline!
I'm sick of these satirical similes that metaphor the life of a struggling teen in feelings of angst and some other hidden meaning blah blah blah.... i kept thinking something would happen other than two spoiled brat teens walking around complaining how hard life is for them.... it doesnt. i promise anyone who reads this there is no plot.... im sure some wannabe intellectual will come find some words to explain how it is secretly good and an in depth analysis...

if you want to read about a real struggle read Elie Wiesel "Night" and if you need a comic book or graphic novel try something that has a plot, a solution, and a climax and... isnt this

Evaluación: - Absolutely Brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant. Every panel is either hilarious or disturbing or both. Clowes even parodies himself, giving main character Enid (played by Thora Birch in the entertaining Terry Zwigoff film from 2001) a crush on the cartoonist -- then revealing her disgust when she actually sees him in person. The relationship between Enid and her cuter but more insecure best friend Becky feels so true, so real and ultimately so damn heartbreaking. Clowes throws in these moments that would smack of sentimentality in anyone else's hands, but instead play as genuinely moving when surrounded by so much oddity and nihilistic banter. A fun, creepy, silly, hilarious, moving graphic novel. This book is a subversive little gem.

Evaluación: - Good Read
The book certainly has an apt title as it is an examination of peoples shortcomings. I particularly enjoyed the character, Miko because in the end she went for what she wanted, not what others wanted for her. I thoroughly enjoyed this and will look into Mr. Tomine's other books.

Evaluación: - Shortcomings with some shortcomings
Shortcomings tells the story of a 30 year old Japanese-American man who is in a relationship with a Japanese-American woman. Though they have been together for years, their relationship is now on the rock as the two people try to understand the role of their ethnicity in their lives and relationships. The main male character finds Caucasian women to be more attractive than Japanese women, which his girlfriend believes is racist. The couple decides to separate when Ben's girlfriend goes away to NYC. After some failed relationships and one-night stands, Ben decides to follow her only to find that she is hiding her own secret (though it is an extremely anti-climatic secret). Ben discusses all of her personal issues with his Korean best friend who is a lesbian with a revolving door of girlfriends.

Though issues surrounding identity and the role of ethnicity in a person's life are certainly worthy of exploration, this graphic novel does not handle the material as well as other novels (graphic ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - REFLECTIONS
I was entertained by his poignant portrayal of an ABJ (American-born Japanese). If you've never had quirky friends, here is your chance. If you have, then time to re-hash those diner conversations.

---

Evaluación: - No redeeming qualities
Trivial, overrated, and only popular because of a growing trend towards graphic novels, Adrian Tomine's writing is essentially only worth anything because it attempts to combat racism towards Asian Americans, which is a valiant effort.

It does so, however, in an extremely blunt and artless way. The story is badly written, and the characters are one-dimensional.

---

Evaluación: - Well written and nicely drawn
I just bought "Shortcomings" by Tomine along with a whole batch of goodlooking graphic novels, some of them from Marvel/DC/Vertigo but also some indie stuff like this one.

Very well done I must say. Really drew me into the story of these flawed people in their late 20's. I'm not big on some of the black and white art you see a lot in indie comics but this is simply clear, detailed work that I can't object to.

A story worth reading.

Evaluación: - The one in white with the yeti
The white expanses of the Himalayan mountains, the sparseness of the pared down plot and the cast, all come as a welcome antidote to the huge clutter of ideas, characters and slapstick of The Red Sea Sharks, making Tintin in Tibet (even the title has a neat simple alliterative symmetry) a rather atypical adventure, one inspired by a personal crisis - Hergé at this time suffering from nightmares and visions of whiteness - rather than being merely the usual Tintin investigative jaunt through exotic lands meeting interesting characters.

Atypical it might be, but in other ways it's a pure distillation of everything that is great about Hergé's technique - both in terms of the storyline and in terms of the purity of the 'ligne-claire' artwork. Tintin's tenacity to get to the truth is never more driven than here in his desire to travel to Nepal and embark on a seemingly futile expedition in search of his young Chinese friend Chang who has surely perished with the rest of the passengers and crew ...

Evaluación: - The most celebrated Tintin book
Probably the most celebrated Tintin book, it shows our boy hero's reunion after over 25 years with his friend from The Blue Lotus, Chang Chong-Chen (real-life friends Hergé and Zhang Chong-ren, upon whom the character of Chang Chong-chen had been based, had actually went nearly 50 years without meeting); or rather it chronicles the attempt to reunite - on his way to Brussels, the plane Chang is on goes down in the Himalayas, with everyone on the plane dead or missing. But Tintin feels that Chang is still alive, so he and Haddock go off to rescue him, enjoying a few misadventures in Delhi first en route to Calcutta. Marching off, they head on foot into the hills, where there are various misadventures. The scenery is breathtaking and the art impeccable, very much in line with Hergé's first story set in the mountains, Prisoners of the Sun (which also had Tintin befriending a young boy). Haddock is, of course, always good for a laugh with his brave buffoonery, and Snowy quite funny in yet another drinking ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - Exciting, fun and educational introduction to Tibet, its beautiful landscape and Buddhist culture
After Tintin's friend Chang's plane crashes in the Himalayas, Tintin refuses to believe he is dead, and launches an expedition to find him. Along with Captain Haddock and Snowy, he travels through New Delhi and Nepal, before getting to the mountains. In Tibet they experience the hazards of mountain climbing, the gentle Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and the Yeti, before rescuing Chang.

My favourite Tintin book is fun and educational for both kids and adults, quite often being people's first introduction to Tibet, its beautiful landscape and culture.

In 2006, Tintin became the first fictional character to be awarded the Dalai Lama's Truth of Light award.

---

Evaluación: - A Desperate Rescue Mission...
The Belgian artist Herge wrote many popular stories featuring his cartoon hero Tintin, a young journalist. "Tintin in Tibet" is surely one of the more exotic of the adventures. It was first published in 1960, when mountain climbing in the Himalayas was still frontpage news, and before China had closed the famous Tibetan monasteries.

As the story opens, Tintin, his faithful dog Snowy, his seafaring friend Captain Haddock, and the eccentric Professor Calculus are on vacation in the European Alps. Tintin learns in short order that his old friend Chang (from "The Blue Lotus") is on his way to visit, then the dreadful news that Chang's airliner has gone down in Nepal, with no known survivors. Tintin, on the basis of a dream in which Chang calls for help, seeks off on a rescue mission, accompanied by the skeptical Captain Haddock.

Herge takes advantage of the journey to show the reader a little of India and then of Nepal, before Tintin, Snowy, the Captain, and the guide Tharkey ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - Brave and loyal, Tintin to the rescue!
"Tintin in Tibet" is my first Tintin adventure. I am a librarian seeking new stories and saw this in a review. It looks like a story my older elementary students would like.

Others on the product page are long-time fans, beginning in childhood, with "Tintin in Tibet" as the favorite in the series of books written and illustrated by Herge. Not knowing anything about the back story, I will begin.

First, the book itself. It is 11 3/4 inches high and 8 3/4 inches wide with full-color illustrations on slick paper, making this a very nice looking graphic novel. The book is well worth its price. The covers of the other 24 adventures are shown on the back cover.

I'm not sure who Tintin is--maybe a teenager, or the Captain, definitely someone fond of Tintin and uncle-like, who watches out for Tintin, who in turn really doesn't need watching over. Tintin is on vacation when he learns of the plane crash of Chang, a Chinese friend his age, in the mountains of Nepal.

Evaluación: - Friuts Basket bursts with bubbling thoughts
Tohru Honda was an orphan; she lived with her grandfather when her mother passed away. One day Fate kicked her out of the house and she was forced to take up residence in a tent in the forest. Little did she know that the land she was staying on belonged to the Sohma family, a clan of beautiful and mysterious people. After stumbling upon a teenager squatter, the Sohma invited Tohru to stay in their house in exchange for cooking and cleaning. Everything was going well until she discovered the Sohma family's greatest secret: when hugged by members of the opposite sex, they each turn into their Chinese Zodiac animal! Tohru Honda also cooked Onigiri for the Sohma family. (Fruits Basket volume 1, By Natsuki Takaya)
Onigiri come in many different flavors and shapes. They are so delicious that most people might actually eat a lot of them. They come in animal, vehicle, original round, and just basic shapes. They can be used for holidays, birthdays, or any other special occasion. Some look like big balls of ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - Surpisingly good, but not for everyone.
I had to buy this book for a class I took and surprisingly I actually enjoyed reading this. It has a nice blend of drama and humor in it, combined with that anime/manga style flare. The story is about this young teenage girl (Thoru) who ends up living with the Shoma family for a while and accidentally discovers their family secret, they turn into the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac (plus the cat) when hugged by a member of the opposite sex. The plot sounds kind of wacky and ridiculous, but it's through this ridiculousness and the way it is well drawn and the drama staged that this story works. I'm tempted to collect the whole 20+ volumes.

That all said, this book is not for everyone. People who only enjoy serious manga/anime with serious themes probably wouldn't enjoy this. Also this book is printed in the traditional Japanese way, so it goes right-to-left not the other way that we in America are used to reading our books. If either of these conditions doesn't appeal to you then I suggest you ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - They're all animals
Natsuki Takaya hit manga gold with "Fruits Basket," a romantic/comic/fantasy story about one cursed family, and a girl who might be able to set them all free.

The first volume of any series is usually the weakest, and that's true of "Fruits Basket Volume 1," but it's still a warm-hearted, entertaining little collection, which mainly serves to introduce the lead characters. And it doesn't take Takaya long to hit her storytelling stride.

Orphaned Tohru Honda is living in a tent in the woods. But one day she bumps into the large house of school idol Yuki Sohma, and his older cousin Shigure -- and after a landslide buries her tent and most of her belongings, they take Tohru in as a housekeeper/cook. But when the volatile Kyo Sohma breaks in to fight with Yuki, Tohru slips and accidently hugs him -- and he transforms into a cat.

Turns out that the Sohma family is cursed -- certain members turn into animals of the Chinese zodiac, including Yuki and Shigure (rat and dog, respectively). ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - Furuba rocks!
There's a reason entire book racks are filled with the Furuba collection. Out of all the animes I've watched and mangas I've read, this is still the one who remains 1# on my list. Takya puts great background into her characters, and adds depth, reason to what they say. It's brilliantly planned out, not only is it laugh-out-loud hilarious, but has drama, too. I've shed so many tears over the series T.T Of laughter and sadness. Anyways, it's a 100% one heck of a good book!

Die Yuki-bozu Mwuhahaha!!!

Evaluación: - Moving day
Tohru Honda's adventures really get going in the second volume of "Fruits Basket," where the upbeat teen moves into the Sohma household. Natsuki Takaya's storytelling is stronger and steadier in this collection, since she's introduced the main characters and can now get going on the plot. Not to mention the eccentric side cast.

Tohru is moving into her newly furnished room, and her pals (wave-reading goth Saki and toughgrrl Hana) decide to stay over to make sure that the guys will take care of their cheerful friend. And when New Year's rolls around, Kyo and Yuki are reluctantly dragged out to the main house for the annual celebration. But when Saki stops them on the road, they are given a not-so-difficult choice -- go to the main house with the other family, or stay home with Tohru?

And at the school, the students are planning a cultural festival. Yuki is forced to wear a dress, Kyo clashes with other students, and Tohru encounters two other Sohmas -- the chilly doctor Hatori, and the effusive ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - Fun, imaginative, and a great read
If you love mangas and love a story that gives you every emotion a story can give you, then this is the book for you. The main part of the story is comedy but it does have a lot of other emotions to it and there are a lot of plot eliments that will keep you wanting to read. I don't want to give anything away so I wont, you'll just have to read it. ^_^

I own this series in Japanese, and it is a wonderful read! It has all the important elements of a good shoujo manga: it is romantic, twisted, with a shoujo (in the traditional meaning of the word) involved in finding a new family and love triangles galore. It is just a very fun read, no matter the language!

---

Evaluación: - It really is a bit confusing.
As an American whose undergrad studies revolved around European subjects, I am still quite ignorant of Japanese customs/cultures/naming conventions and so on. This book confuses me in a few different ways: 1, as another reviewer pointed out, several of the characters look nearly identical, and I had to go back and reread several portions to figure out who was whom. 2, the variations on naming are awkward to me. Tohru is variously referred to as Tohru, Tohru-san, Tohru-chan, Tohru-kun, Honda-san, sometimes even Kyoko-san, which is her mother's name. This isn't so bad, because Tohru is always Tohru no matter what is on the end of it, but for example Hatori is sometimes Ha'ri and sometimes Haa-san and this happens with all the characters who have more than 2 syllables in their names.

There are some weird cultural things drawn in here that I don't understand: a sketch of Tohru's mom in middle school, and she's wearing what looks like a surgical mask? (She was not a doctor.) One of Tohru's friends is referred ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - Tintin And Snowy Sail To America
After travelling to Congo in The Adventures of Tintin in the Congo: Reporter for Le Petit Vingtieme and lambasting the Soviet Union quite one-sidedly in the very first Tintin adventure The Adventures of Tintin: Tintin in the Land of the Soviets Tintin arrives in Chicago, to clean up the rampant gangsterism that rules the city. Strangely, he is "world reporter number one" but he is not here to do much reporting and instead strives to clean up the city and send the hoodlums packing. Tintin In America is the depiction of a crime-fighting star.

Tintin and his dog Snowy are heroes who meet and best gangsters such as real-life hoodlum Al Capone and others. They survive by the skin of their teeth on many occasions having come at the better end of snipers, Indians, cowboys, dynamite, kidnapping, drowning and a hurtling train. Our hero, consequently, it seems, is more blessed than skilful. Despite the frequent lucky coincidences, Tintin In America is still 62 pages of fun full of witty and engaging illustrations.

Evaluación: - The one where Tintin is lynched
There's not really a whole lot to recommend about one of Tintin's earliest adventures. In terms of plotting, characterisation and artwork, Tintin in America - created in 1931 and completely redrawn for collected colour publication in 1945 - is rather primitive compared to the sophisticated later adventures, the story suffering from no clear single storyline other than Tintin chasing one particular criminal across America. The book reflects rather its serialised origins where Tintin and Snowy are put through sequences borrowed from every genre of Hollywood filmmaking, from gangster films to Westerns.

Following on from Tintin's run-in with Al Capone's operations in, of all places, the Belgian Congo (in Tintin in the Congo), the news that the fearless reporter is coming to America to continue his crusade against the gangster strikes fear into the hearts of Al Capone and his gangsters, who immediately try to capture and dispose of him the moment he arrives in Chicago. Escaping their clutches, Tintin however soon breaks up their ... Leer Más

Evaluación: - Tintin finally picks up in quality
Tintin sets off for lawless gangland America where he sets about bringing Al Capone and his gangs to justice. The whole story is one episode after another where the gangsters attempt to rub him out, only to fail; sometimes Tintin tries to get the upper hand by cornering the bad guys, only to suffer a setback. Of course, in the end all the bad guys are in jail. Tintin is knocked out, chloroformed, smashed in a car wreck, betrayed, gassed and beaten up by the cops, The story improves the physical action of some of the earlier Tintin tales, and there is a bit more realism than in the first two books (but not much). Tintin careens from the streets of Chicago to the wild west on the trail of gangster Bobby Smiles, who he finds in "Redskin City, a small place near the Indian Reservations." Bobby Smiles turns the natives against him, and once again it's Tintin versus an army of enemies - of course he prevails, mainly through luck (oil is discovered on the reservation, and in rolls the army, the carpet-baggers and profiteers, and in the blink of an ...

Evaluación: - Tintin Goes to America...
"Tintin in America" was Belgian artist and storyteller Herge' third adventure for his cartoon hero, the youthful reporter Tintin. This story was first published in 1931, and updated by Herge in 1946 and 1973. It is often considered the first of the real Tintin adventures.

Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy come to America in pursuit of the Chicago gangsters whose diamond smuggling plot Tintin foiled in his previous adventure in the Congo. Unfortunately, the gangsters are out to get Tintin first. Tintin narrowly survives a series of assassination attempts by the mob before his pursuit of a gangland boss takes him out West. There, he encounters hostile indians and nearly falls victim to mistaken frontier justice, before finally catching his man. His return to Chicago prompts one last confrontation with organized crime.

"Tintin in America" features one cliff-hanger after another in what would be a frightening story if we didn't know that a resourceful and lucky Tintin always survives. The interactive dialogue between ... Leer Más

Natsuki Takaya, Fruits Basket vol. 4 (Tokyopop, 1999)

Note: meeting more of the zodiac in each volume is not helping with the fact that we can't tell some of them apart already. I'm also hoping that, eventually, a real storyline is going to show up; Takaya has hinted at it a few times, but nothing has really emerged as a big story arc yet. I'm still soldiering on, but it's not catching me in the same way many manga series do. ***

Evaluación: - ... and hold it in my heart
Having introduced us to the rabbit, dragon (seahorse), rat, cat, dog, boar and cow of the zodiac, it's time to meet a few new people.

Specifically, it's time to meet the sinister head of the family, and the heretofore unknown snake of the zodiac. And while the fourth volume of "Fruits Basket" is extremely funny and kooky, Natsuki Takaya introduces us to some of the darker, more tragic dimensions of her characters.

Momiji and Haru have just entered high school with Tohru, Kyo and Yuki. The class president makes trouble for a gender-bending Momiji -- and almost gets throttled by "black" Haru -- but otherwise things are going well. Then Akito suddenly shows up, and while he initially seems friendly to Tohru ("You really are cute!"), his cruel streak is revealed when he sees Yuki.

Later on, Yuki and Tohru are gardening when a snake slithers into Tohru's clothes -- and it turns out to be Ayame, Yuki's flamboyant, flirtatious older brother. Problem is, Yuki can't stand the sight of him, and the more Ayame talks about ... Leer Más

I've been listening to audio books to practice my Spanish for a while now, and I've always found Fonolibro's CDs to have great voice acting and narration. My only complaint with this one is that it was rather short (only 2 CDs, from a 250 page book), and a lot of good episodes from the book were cut. Still, if you want a simple way to practice your Spanish and listen to a classic story in the process, this is a great place to start.
