Reader Comments

  • Easy Money

    This book really inspired me to make a budget and stick with it. I thought I knew a lot about money, but I really did learn some new things! I recommend it to all my friends and family.

  • The Hangman

    This book was suspenseful. I was trying to figure out who the killer was...I never saw the ending coming!

  • Home Invasion

    I really liked this book. It would be so scary if this happened to me! Kept me on my toes!

  • I could really picture the characters and the dusty Mexican town. I don't normally like this kind of thing, but I really liked the way the main guy became the hero.

  • Picture This

    I really liked readng this. It made me think about paintings a lot differently. I also liked the romance.
