Good or bad is naturally for each reader to decide--just know, if you plan to read the books while listening to Jim Dale's audiobooks, you'll notice a few superficial differences.

"I was ravenous to get my hands on my copy as soon as it was delivered this morning, but was quickly disappointed. But when I took a close look at my dust jacket, I was extremely upset to find that the gold foil lettering for "Harry Potter" had been rubbed away and destroyed completely in some places leaving ugly, black matte in its place-- pock marking the otherwise handsome gold lettering. Needless to say I'm in awe how Bloomsbury has managed to put together such an incredible project, with JK Rowling's remarkable literature and Jim Kay's otherworldly illustrations-- and allowed it to be put together in a low quality binding! Not all alone in a box... Update (October 9th): I have finally received my new book and it was in much, much better condition. The cover and spine were tight, intact and falling apart from the binding like my original copy."

"The new books are fun but they don't really carry the weight of the Frank Herbert classics."
"I must be honest, the first chapters are quite slow and it took me some time to get a hang of all the weird terminology and words, but by the middle of the book it is really hard to stop reading."
"it is an important work in this genre. I recently read the Foundation trilogy by Asimov and while it was good, it didn't hold up to Dune."
"After all these years, still a great story with a warning I dare say becomes even more relevant in our present age of jihadi terror."
"Herbert does a great job creating this story set in the distant future, where Earth is more of a myth to the current humans."
"Furtermore, there is a complexity in his style that very few active authors use (reminded me a little of George RR Martin)."
"The entire dune universe from the Atredies to the Fremen to the worms to the Harkkonnen all have real world insinuations to politics, consumption and religious beliefs."

"I saw the stop-motion film based on this book quite a few times in 2012, and read the book in 2013."
"It's a strange and magical adventure of a girl who thought her life was miserable (I think, I don,t remember) but found a new world (which she escaped from)."
"It teaches amazing lessons that are brilliant for older kids (and adults). HIs novels are responsible for me staying up all night and being late for work, seeing if I can fit in a few paragraphs while in a public bathroom stall, canceling dinner plans, and other irresponsible shenanigans."
"Coraline is a scary, fascinating novel full of magic and evil."
"Young Coraline is indeed a very brave young heroine, empowered and very clever in the face of what the dangers are and lurk furtively in fairy tales! Young readers will find the adaptation to a two-dimensional situation easier to digest than an older, less flexible reader where the blurred realities are more burdensome. "Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.""
"Neil says in his forward that he literally cut nothing from this book because he wrote it a little at a time over a long period of time, and he picked his words so deliberately that when the book was published there was very little editing. I'm not going to bother with a synopsis, because most people have seen the movie, which is very similar to the book. That being said, Gaiman masterfully tempers his shock with sugar, providing enough light moments, humor, and fun to keep the children and adults reading this novel captivated and entertained."

《福尔摩斯探案全集(套装共11册)》包括了：《血字的研究》、《四签名》、《冒险史》（上下）、《回忆录》、《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》、《归来记》（上下）、《恐怖谷》、《鞠躬尽瘁》和《新探案》9部11册。书中有将近600幅的精美插图。这个译本有两个特点：一是以英国本（市场上通行的是美国本）为底本，完全依照当时《海滨杂志》发表时的原始状态翻译与编排；二是译者在早期译本的基础上进行了大量的修订，大大提升了翻译的准确度和文字的美感，并增加了许多必要的注释，有助于读者了解故事发生的维多利亚的生活背景。. 为了更适合青少年阅读和理解，本书在翻译过程中对部分章节做了删减。 经典是用来珍藏的而不是用来阅读的；经典的内容永恒不变，变得是形式。买经典就是买形式的创造性。国内，“福尔摩斯”已有几十个版本，为何还要买上海社科版？购买这套《福尔摩斯探案全集(套装共11册)》的三大理由：. 理由之一：福尔摩斯是与米老鼠和圣诞老人齐名的世界三大知名人物之一。我们要了解福尔摩斯，必须阅读这部风靡全世界的探案小说。. 理由之二：目前市场上通行的译本均是采用美国出版的为底本（即“美国本”），而这套九卷本的全集，完全依照当时《海滨杂志》发表时的原始状态翻译与编排（即“英国本”），既保证了最真实的面貌，也避免了美国本所存在的错乱。. 理由之三：译者长期致力于福尔摩斯探案小说的研究与翻译。此译本在其早期译本（包括台湾版）的基础上，进行了大量的、精益求精的修订，大大提升了翻译的准确度和文字的美感，同时还增加了许多必要的注释，可使读者可以无障碍地阅读这部已有百年历史的英国探案小说。 作者：（英国）柯南道尔 译者：俞步凡. 柯南道尔，1859年生于苏格兰，1885年在爱丁堡大学获医学博士学位，1902年因为对英国的南非战争政策辩护有功而封爵。他受母亲的熏陶，从小爱讲故事，在学校里是有名的故事大王。由于受侦探小说家美国的爱伦•坡（Edgar Allan Poe， 1809-1849）、英国的科林斯（Wilkie Collins， 1824-1889）和法国的加博利约（Emile Gaboriau，1832-1873）的影响，在开业行医的业余时间创作侦探小说。1886年，他以大学里一位具有惊人的观察和推理能力的教授为原型，塑造了一个私家侦探的形象，这侦探取名叫Sherlock Holmes（歇洛克•福尔摩斯），并借助其副手Dr.Watson（华生医生）讲述破案过程的结构形式，完成了第一部福尔摩斯探案小说《血字的研究》。起初投稿无人欣赏，至次年才由《比登圣诞年刊》勉强刊登发表。不过，有一家叫《利平科特》的杂志却看好他，于1890年登出了他的第二部福尔摩斯探案小说《四签名》。1891年，曾扶植过萧伯纳、克里斯蒂等多名作家的《海滨杂志》（The Strand Magazine）注意到了柯南道尔的福尔摩斯探案小说，以50英镑的优厚稿酬，发表了他的《波希米亚丑闻》（以后高至每篇100英镑）。从此柯南道尔和他笔下的福尔摩斯一起蜚声文坛。这一年，柯南道尔弃医从文，专门写福尔摩斯探案小说。.

La résistance s’organise alors autour de Harry qui va devoir compter sur le courage et la fidélité de ses amis de toujours… D’une inventivité et d’une virtuosité rares, découvrez le cinquième tome de cette saga que son auteur a su hisser au rang de véritable phénomène littéraire. La magie en revient encore à la plume vive de Joanne K. Rowling, mais également, cette fois, au tourbillon de difficultés dans lequel est happé Harry adolescent. Mandée pour effacer le souvenir de Voldemort des couloirs de l'école, une nouvelle enseignante en profite dès lors pour rendre la vie dure à Harry et semer la zizanie parmi les grands et les petits sorciers. Chassé de l'équipe de quidditch et ridiculisé par le ministère de la Magie, Harry doit également combattre les images que parvient à immiscer dans son cerveau Lord Voldemort, bel et bien vivant, et plus menaçant que jamais. J.K. Rowling a également publié trois ouvrages dans l'univers de Harry Potter, dont les droits d'auteur sont reversés à des uvres de bienfaisance : Le Quidditch à travers les âges, Les Animaux fantastiques, et Les Contes de Beedle le Barde.

Everyone's experience will vary according to their mastery of the language, naturally, so I think it would be impossible to call it a one size fits all book."
"It is nice to have a recap of some key German words with definitions and a short quiz at the end of each section. In addition to this series helping with learning German words and vocabulary, I really enjoyed reading about the different cities and their characteristics, tourist sites, and things to do!"
"Thank you for allowing me to feel comfortable learning this language in an engaging and comical way."
"The German in this text is simple enough that if you have reached a slight stage past beginner, then you will find yourself actually reading a book in German, albeit with some words here and there that need to be learned, which the book does nicely at anticipating these words and providing translations to them."
"I found the stories just long enough to introduce a range of concepts and expressions. The sample of words chosen for explanation at the end of each is well thought out."
"Reading helps make sentence structure become second nature, and having a good German-English dictionary helps, too."
"I bought this to help my kids with the German language."
"This is a very good German language learning tool for the intermediate student."

"Wonder" è la storia di Auggie, nato con una tremenda deformazione facciale, che, dopo anni passati protetto dalla sua famiglia per la prima volta affronta il mondo della scuola. Il libro è diviso in otto parti, ciascuna raccontata da un personaggio e introdotta da una canzone (o da una citazione) che gli fa da sfondo e da colonna sonora, creando una polifonia di suoni, sentimenti ed emozioni.

"The most emotional moment for me came toward the end of the book when Auggie's father tells him that he loves the way Auggie looks, because that it exactly how my husband and I feel about our son."
"Author R.J. Palacio writes the book in multiple voices -- Auggie's, some of his friends', his sister's -- and the different points of view are mostly very well-realized and show the inner feelings of the different characters."
"I would recommend all young children to read this book and I would certainly recommend adults to read it because it will certainly change that "judgement of others" into "an acceptance of others.""
"The author did a really good job of putting the reader inside the heads of the characters in the book, helping us to really get to know them and to see different perspectives of the same situation."
"I'm a Special Needs teacher and I love how this book teaches "typical kids" to accept someone who looks different in their school; it makes the child who's different feel special as well."
"On a recommendation from my daughter (35), I read it after I saw the movie."
"Friends said to read the book before seeing the movie."
