This Side of Paradise, F. Scott Fitzgerald's romantic and witty first novel, was written when the author was only twenty-three years old. This semi-autobiographical story of the handsome, indulged, and idealistic Princeton student Amory Blaine received critical raves and catapulted Fitzgerald to instant fame. Now, readers can enjoy the newly edited, authorized version of this early classic of the Jazz Age, based on Fitzgerald's original manuscript. In this definitive text, This Side of Paradise captures the rhythms and romance of Fitzgerald's youth and offers a poignant portrait of the "Lost Generation."

First published in 1922, The Beautiful and the Damned followed Fitzgerald's impeccable debut, This Side of Paradise, thus securing his place in the tradition of great American novelists. Embellished with the author's lyrical prose, here is the story of Harvard-educated, aspiring aesthete Anthony Patch and his beautiful wife, Gloria. As they await the inheritance of his grandfather's fortune, their reckless marriage sways under the influence of alcohol and avarice. A devastating look at the nouveau riche, and the New York nightlife, as well as the ruinous effects of wild ambition, The Beautiful and the Damned achieved stature as one of Fitzgerald's most accomplished novels. Its distinction as a classic endures to this day. Pocket Book's Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. Special features include critical perspectives, suggestions for further read, and a unique visual essay composed of period photographs that help bring every word to life.

Being shipped off to boarding school is never a good omen in a Goosebumps book. With your parents out of the picture, who's left to defend you if a monster comes calling? Twelve-year-old Paul Perez finds himself in just that predicament when he gets in trouble one too many times at his public school. His straight-laced parents have had enough, and they use their connections to gain him admittance to the Caring Academy, a prosperous private school in New England where Paul can build toward his future without the distractions of public education. Paul doesn't want to go, but his objection would be much more urgent if he knew what awaits him there...  Paul makes a pair of friends quickly, Celeste Majors and Molly Bagby, but his first encounter with his teacher erases any doubt that enrolling in the Caring Academy was a calamitous mistake. Mrs. Maaargh is huge and grotesque, and her slimy bare feet squish and squelch on the classroom floor. She doesn't try to hide the fact that she's a monster from the kids, keeping a food-chain chart at the front of the room and moving their names up and down on it depending on their behavior and achievements. The bottom student in the food chain when the school session ends will become a meal for Mrs. Maaargh. After Paul's class clown routine gets on her nerves right away, he knows he's doomed if he can't escape from the Caring Academy.  "What do you do after your last chance is gone?" —Creature Teacher, P. 106 Phones are off-limits to students except on holidays, the faculty scoff at any claim that one of the teachers is a monster, and the only breakout attempted—by Molly—ended with Mrs. Maaargh dragging her back inside the school and dropping her name to the bottom of the food chain. After badmouthing Mrs. Maaargh to a boy he didn't realize was her son, Paul figures his only shot to avoid being the teacher's prey is to put in a spectacular performance at the class talent show. Paul's a witty kid, and he can do impressive balloon animals...will that be enough to save him? Can anything keep Paul off Mrs. Maaargh's monstrous menu?  "But there is always one last chance—right?" —Creature Teacher, P. 107 R.L. Stine has written deeper stories than Creature Teacher, with much more surprising twists and turns, but this is a serviceable juvenile horror novel. Goosebumps books set at boarding school have a distinctive feel, with young characters whose parents aren't around so they have to learn to rescue themselves, and that can make for compelling drama. I'd give Creature Teacher one and a half stars. If you're a diehard Goosebumps fan, check it out.

Invasion of the Body Squeezers Part 1 is the story of the tragic breakdown of a 12 year old boy. Jack "Saucerman" Archer is a troubled child who suspects his neighbor of being a monster. His fixation on an unidentified meteor in orbit and fear of a new neighbor combine into a complex paranoid fantasy about an alien invasion. As his hallucinations become more intense, his family abandons him and his friends actively torment him.Unfortunately, the alien invasion is real. This is the first part of the Goosebumps adaptation of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. This half is the tension building portion of the story. I honestly think it is more interesting and fun than the original. I like Jack more than Miles. He feels more isolated and fearful than Miles every did. I think it is worth a read, as long as you read the second part too.

They're baa-ack! Make way for the bestselling children's series of all time! With a fresh new look, GOOSEBUMPS is set to scare a whole new generation of kids. So reader beware--you're in for a scare!Pick a scare. Any scare.Trick cards, floating scarves, disappearing doves. Tim Swanson loves magic tricks. Someday he wants to be a real magician.

Amaz-O's bag of secret tricks. Scary tricks. Like the one with the multiplying red balls. And all those hissing snakes....

Well, THAT was interesting. No, I'm serious, I enjoyed it.Hannah is a 12-year-old girl living with her family in a small town. It's summer and she's bored. Her two younger twin brothers, age 6, are wild and crazy and take up all her parents' time and attention. She must find ways to amuse herself in the long, hot, summer months. Ever hear the phrase, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop?" Hannah meets the boy next door, a 12-year-old named Danny with red hair and freckles. He's moved into the old Dodson house. That's strange - it's sat empty for years. And Hannah never saw any moving van or people inside the house. Danny claims he's in her grade at her school, but she doesn't know him or any of his friends.Nevertheless, she becomes friends with Danny. Unfortunately, Danny hangs out with a bad crowd. His "friends" Alan and Fred are always daring him to do things and encouraging him to steal and pull pranks. Hannah often spies on the boys and spies on Danny and his activities - ostensibly because she suspects he might be a ghost, but I think she has a tiny crush on him - and sees how the boys treat him and goad him into criminal behavior.To add onto all of this, there is a shadowy dark phantom with glowing red eyes that keeps following her around and warning her to stay away from Danny. No one can see it but her. Who is it? What does it want?...In a shocking surprise twist, we realize that (view spoiler)[ Hannah is the ghost, not Danny. She died in a house fire 5 years ago, and she and her whole family are dead. I think she's here to save Danny... he and his thug friends end up setting fire to a crotchety old man's home and she saves Danny's life by helping him escape from the burning building.I liked Hannah's slow realization that she's the one who's dead - not Danny - and the way she amps up her courage by saying, "I'm a ghost, I can do this, I can't die again, these flames can't really hurt me." It must be hard for her, but she is very brave.  (hide spoiler)]

I recall my mom reading me this story when I was a kid. So that meant I already knew the story ending beforehand. I have read the exact same copy that that mom read for me that turned up to be a vintage now with all its pages transformed into yellowish colour and cracked cover which adds to the story horror!Anyhow, as the story is aimed to teens and kiddos it would be quite an adrenaline stimulatant, which, however, wasn't the case for me.I enjoyed reading it on the beach and trying to picture their fears along with my scenary.First book to finish on my vacation 

Gabe can't wait to explore the Great Pyramid with his Uncle Ben, but once he gets inside to search for mummies and treasure, Gabe discovers he may never get out.Uncle Ben woke us up early the next morning and drove to the pyramids outside al-Jizah. The air was already hot and sticky. The sun seemed to hang low over the desert like an orange balloon."There it is!" Sari declared, pointing out the window. And I saw the Great Pyramid rising up from the yellow sand like some kind of mirage. This is the first book in the series that seems to slip beyond the borders of the formula used to write the preceding Goosebumps books. The horror isn't quite as horrifying. The threat to Gabe, while dangerous, isn't what the reader anticipates given the title of the book and its alluring cover art. There are several instances where this book reads more an action-adventure in the vein of Indiana Jones rather than a horror novel, thanks to the ever-present sense of exploration and discovery: Once again, the sour smell invaded my nose. I held my breath to keep myself from gagging. It was the smell of four-thousand-year-old bodies, I realized. A smell that had been bottled up in this ancient hidden chamber - until now. Where most Goosebumps books leave the reader with a chilling sense that monsters may yet be hiding under the bed, The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb reaches a conclusion that's a little too buttoned up. It is, nonetheless, an enjoyable read packed with mummified bodies, unexplored tunnels, and ancient secrets.

On Max's birthday, he finds a kind of magic mirror in the attic. It can make make him become invisible. So Max and his friends start playing "now you see me, now you don't." Until Max realizes that he's losing control. Staying invisible a little too long. Having a harder and harder time coming back. Getting invisible is turning into a very dangerous game. The next time Max gets invisible, will it be...forever?

In Gustave Doré, one of the most prolific and successful book illustrators of the late 19h century, Edgar Allan Poe's renowned poem The Raven found perhaps its most perfect artistic interpreter. Doré's dreamlike, otherworldly style, tinged with melancholy, seems ideally matched to the bleak despair of Poe's celebrated work, among the most popular American poems ever written.This volume reprints all 26 of Doré's detailed, masterly engravings from a rare 19th-century edition of the poem. Relevant lines from the poem are printed on facing pages and the complete text is also included. Admirers of Doré will find ample evidence here of his characteristic ability to capture the mood and meaning of a work of literature in striking imagery; lovers of The Raven will delight in seeing its mournful musing on love and loss given dramatic pictorial form.

Read it and scream!A famous horror writer. That's what Zackie Beauchamp wants to be. He's writing a story about a giant blob monster. A pink slimy creature who eats up an entire town! Then Zackie finds the typewriter. In a burned-down antiques store. He takes it home and starts typing. But there's something really odd about that typewriter. Something really dangerous. Because now every word Zackie writes is starting to come true. . . .

As a dense yellow fog swirls through the streets of London, a deep melancholy has descended on Sherlock Holmes, who sits in a cocaine-induced haze at 221B Baker Street. His mood is only lifted by a visit from a beautiful but distressed young woman - Mary Morstan, whose father vanished ten years before. Four years later she began to receive an exquisite gift every year: a large, lustrous pearl. Now she has had an intriguing invitation to meet her unknown benefactor and urges Holmes and Watson to accompany her. And in the ensuing investigation - which involves a wronged woman, a stolen hoard of Indian treasure, a wooden-legged ruffian, a helpful dog and a love affair - even the jaded Holmes is moved to exclaim, 'Isn't it gorgeous!'--back cover

De hond van de BaskervillesDe deductieve en tevens zeer aktieve detektive lost ook hier weer een aantal mysterieuze zaken op, hierbij z'n trouwe metgezel Watson en de officiele politie steeds weer in scherpzinnigheid overtreffend. Hoewel niet altijd even volmaakt en perfekt van intrige, hier en daar onvolkomenheden en toevalligheden vertonend, geven de verhalen toch een boeiend beeld van het Laat-Victoriaanse Londense leven. Door Watson wordt Holmes precies van de goede afstand en in het juiste licht geportretteerd en samen vormen ze, zoals Julian Symons eens in een inleiding schreef, een dubbel beeld van conventionaliteit en excentriciteit, van het zich houden aan en het overtreden van de wet. Niets menselijk is hen vreemd, vandaar dat velen zich in deze twee figuren zullen herkennen.

This is just a wonderful , to me, walk down memory lane, re-living and re-experiencing some of the most iconic Holmes stories ever written by "Sir Arth".This book contains such gems as "The Musgrave Ritual", "Silver Blaze", "The Resident Patient", "The (fabulous) Greek Interpreter" - πολι καλά and of course the amazing, emotional, fatal "The Final Problem".The Final Problem, what can one say, I almost had tears in my eyes as (view spoiler)[ the letter arrives for Watson to return to the Hotel, I'm shouting at the book, "its fake, don't leave Sherlock on his own, its a trap."  , but as ever, he rushes back and we all know the consequences.

After his death sometime in his 43rd year, suburbanite Lester Burnham tells of the last few weeks of his life, during which he had no idea of his imminent passing. He is a husband to real estate agent Carolyn Burnham and father to high school student Jane Burnham. Although Lester and Carolyn once loved each other, they now merely tolerate each other. Typical wallflower Jane also hates both her parents; the three suffer individually in silence in their home life. Jane tries to steer clear of both her parents. Carolyn, relatively new to the real estate business, wants to create the persona of success to further her career, aspiring to the professional life of Buddy Kane, the king of the real estate business in their neighborhood. Lester merely walks mindlessly through life, including at his job in advertising. His company is downsizing, and he, like all the other employees, has to justify his position to the newly hired efficiency expert to keep his job. Things change for Lester when he falls in love at first sight with Jane's more experienced classmate, Angela Hayes. Both Janie and Angela can see Lester's sexual infatuation with Angela, who courts such attention from any man as a sign that she is model material, she having once appeared in Seventeen and is a career to which she aspires. Lester's infatuation with Angela gives him a reenergized view on life, where he openly doesn't care anymore what anyone thinks about what he does, anyone except Angela. This infatuation coincides with the Fittses moving in next door: homophobic disciplinarian US Marine Colonel Frank Fitts who rules the house with a military fist (that fist being both figurative and literal), his semi-comatose wife Barbara Fitts, and their bright and quietly subversive 18-year-old son Ricky Fitts, who openly abides by his father's rules while behind the scenes lives by his own quite different perspective. Much like Lester's infatuation, Ricky immediately becomes infatuated with Jane; he considers girls like Angela as ordinary. The entry of Angela and the Fittses into the Burnhams' lives ultimately leads to each of the players confronting what is truly in his or her heart.

Jumanji, one of the most unique--and dangerous--board games ever, falls into the hands of the curious teen, Alan Parrish, in 1969.

Now, the wild and incessant beat of the jungle's tribal drums is calling for the now-adult Alan and the other hesitant players, as the one who rolls the dice must never leave undone what the roll has started. Has anyone ever escaped from the game and Jumanji's formidable foes?

Dwelling a few fathoms beneath the tropical isle of Bikini Atoll in the sub-surface city of Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob lives in a two-story pineapple. Instead of taking the logical approach to everyday challenges, SpongeBob approaches life in a wayward and unconventional way. Whether searching for the ultimate spatula to perfect his burger flipping technique at the Krusty Krab or just hanging out with his best friend Patrick (an amiable starfish), SpongeBob's good intentions and overzealous approach to life usually create chaos in his underwater world.
