Amazing! The overall style and writing of this book is very original, especially for the time period it was written in. The stories are all very creative and will leave you engrossed in the book.

Beautifully crafted book. The entire setup is well thought out and executed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

great book! i love it so far, very good stories in it.

still very good. I have finished the Apple Tree and the Prussian Officer, which were the next 2 stories. This book does not disappoint and is filled with marvelous stories.

Awesome! As usual, I love this book. I definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about Alcatraz.

I finished the first story and I really liked it! I’m on the second one right now, and it’s a different genre than the first one, but I still like it!

My dog seems to really enjoy this! My uncle and aunt actually got this autographed when they met the author at Alcatraz! This is o e of my favorite books that I own!

I’m currently reading this to my dog and my cat as I have no siblings. They really seem to like it!

One of the main characters, Marianne, has fallen ill. Her sister, having good breeding and real humanity, decided to stay, rather than go off with the rest of the party. Mrs Jennings, a kindly, motherly figure, declared her resolution of not stirring from Cleveland (a grand estate) as long as Marianne remained ill, to supply to her the place of mother. She is, on every occasion, a most willing helpmate to Elinor.

One of the main characters, Elinor, is the source of much hubbub. This is due much to the notion that she is engaged with Colonel Brandon, a respectable and admired man, who has 2,000 pounds a year, which would be a very comfortable income for two people of such social status.

I almost finished The Heart of Darkness. I love reading books like this (late 1800’s to early 1900’s) because of the feeling I get. They kind of have a surreal feeling to them, or like someone is telling them on a warm summer night. The Heart of Darkness is an amazing tale of a steam boat captain, who works for an ivory mining company, and his experience.

Great book! I feel horrible for the main characters because both of them found out that the men they loved hot married to different, richer women.

Great! It’s very sad, tragic, and has tons of plot twists, but I want to keep reading.

Awesome book so far. Powerful, beautiful, and horrifying.

This book is beautifully crafted. It is written by Anne Frank, an actual girl living in Nazi occupies Europe. You can see what normal Jewish people who went into hiding’s lives were like, and this makes you understand what a young girl went through.

This is a VERY well thought out book that makes you think about the world around you. It is set in a dystopian England in the near future where it is very similar to Nazi Germany in World War II. This book makes you believe in more than just a character, it makes you believe in an idea.
