The unbelievable adventure and masterful storytelling in which Life of Pi enveloped me has fueled my passion for putting this book in everyone’s hands with a money-back guarantee! Samantha Holmes, Bolen Books, Victoria, BC
Atonement is an enormously moving novel that will challenge and amaze you right up to the last page. Emma Hill Kepron, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB






 

I loved The Notebooks, as the reader got acquainted on a personal level with each author, with behind-the-scenes interviews as well as sneak peaks at new offerings underway. Suzanne-Marie Green, Chapters, Belleville, ON

 



 

 

Mercy Among the Children, by David Adams Richards — this book still haunts me long after being read, with its tale of raw humanity and suffering from uncontrollable prejudice.
Susan Coulter, Chapters, Thunder Bay, ON

 










Anne Rice’s Merrick was a return to the dark and energetic feel of her earlier books, possibly the best she’s written in nearly a decade. Kent Pollard, Skylight/McNally Robinson Booksellers, Saskatoon, SK

 

 

 

 

I fell in love with Balzac and the Little chinese Seamstress, an exquisitely packaged little gem of a novel about growing up in a time of brutal transition, but more than that, it is an affirmation of the power of literature and storytelling to transform people’s lives and transcend rigid cultural boundaries.
Shirley Felker, The University of Ottawa Bookstore Trade Department, Ottawa, ON

I love Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett. I love it because he takes a familiar story, Macbeth, and turns it on its head, creating a hilarious story full of rich believable characters and a wonderful storyline of love and magic.
Mike Grant, Coles, Calgary, AB
