Comments on "Steppenwolf"

from Doman730@nettally.com from Florida, USA

Totally awesome. After fifteen reads, still the best ever.
I have read Steppenwolf fifteen or more times, and as amazing and enlightening as this work is, it is true that EVERY time I read it,I glean something new from it. A real masterpeice. A MUST read.

Ten stars wouldn't do it justice...
People always say how difficult it is to pick the five or ten greatest books ever written. Here's a handy hint to make it easier: Step 1) Write "Steppenwolf - Hermann Hesse" at no 1. Step 2) Build around it.
If you ever wanted a real, authentic representation of the essence of being alive, complete with it's chaos, madness, paradox and stunning beauty, this is it. The closest ink will ever get to being flesh.

Comment on "Dune"

from Richard Higgins (r.j.higgins@hw.ac.uk) from Edinburgh, Scotland

Science Fiction masterpiece of the Millenium
This is by far the most absorbing and entertaining science fiction book I have ever read. It must be read, again and again. If you've seen the film, read the book!!

Julie Andrews`2nd Miracle Film
THE SOUND OF MUSIC is simply the greatest musical of the 20th century. It can be enjoyed by most people - repeatedly.... A delight.
