A reader posted a review at 2009-06-16 21:21:34 for Utopia.
(Language: English)
 
This is my absolute favorite book! Sir Thomas More wrote it after he was asked to take a postion in the local government, but he was debating amongst himself as to whether he should actually take the position. Upon weighing the pros & cons of the position a story actually began to form & from that came this book "Utopia" which in reality means doesn't exist!He takes on the character of a sailor, who found this land of people with the perfect government & he then goes on to explain everything about this paradise! In reality, it is More himself who is pointing out all the wrongs that he sees wrong with his own society & aids in his decision as to why or why he should not accept this position within the government rulers.

A reader posted a review at 2009-06-16 20:32:29 for Catcher in the Rye.
(Language: English)
The Catcher in the Rye is (in my opinion) one of the best books ever written! It is a book about life & all the good & bad that comes with growing up during any era really. J D Salinger made his character Holden Caufield famous through this book & as he was becoming a popular character amongst eager readers this book was sworn off from many high school & middle school libraries due to its "graphic" content!

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory is probably Roald Dahl's most famous novel & one of his best!

(Language: English)
Yes, it is juvenile fiction, but I own & love the French version Le Petit Prince....reading it in another language just seems to make it so much more interesting!
