Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 46. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Winston Churchill Memorial and Library -The central element of the Churchill Memorial is the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, a 16th century church moved stone-by-stone to Fulton from the City of London. Today, the church looks much as it did in 1677carefully restored to recreate the marvelous building that architect Christopher Wren designed after the Great Fire of London destroyed the original 12th century church. Beneath the church is the Churchill museum, renovated in 2006. Through interactive new exhibits, the museum tells Churchill's story, discussing his personal and political life and his legacy. Additionally, the Clementine-Spencer Churchill Reading Room houses an extensive research collection about Churchill and his era. Outside the church stands the "Breakthrough" sculpture, formed from eight sections of the Berlin Wall. Churchill's granddaughter, artist Edwina Sandys, designed "Breakthrough" in order to commemorate both Churchill's "Sinews of Peace" and the fall of the Berlin Wall. "Breakthrough" is a fitting postscript to the Cold War that Churchill had predicted. In 1946, Winston Churchill travelled to Westminster College in order to deliver his famous "Sinews of Peace" address as a part of the Green Lecture series. An extraordinary confluence of circumstances conspired to bring Winston Churchill to Westminster. At the time, the College had a unique connection to U.S. President Harry S. Truman's administrationMajor General...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=17531120 ... Read more

My Thoughts on Tom Sawyer
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is about Tom sawyer and his best friend, Huckleberry Finn's adventures. The setting in this book takes place in various places including caves, school, church, and the graveyard. The time period is in the early 1800's. The protagonists are tom sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Injun Joe and Muff are the antagonists. The major plot of this book was that he saw Injun Joe kill the doctor while they were grave robbing. The rising action of this book was when they went into the mansion, and go to the graveyard. The climax to me was when they witness the murder,go through the cave, and they find Joe.

The style of this book was full of adventure and a lot of exciting moments. The point of view was in 3rd Person. The painting of the fence was one of my favorite parts of this book. The theme of this book to me is to see what the perspective on school, feelings, imagination, adventure, and life in the eyes of a young teen. I thought this book was pretty likable and would rate it 3 stars. Me being a fan of science fiction this was somewhat boring. I really like the whole fairytale idea. This book is definitely worth reading though.

Tom Sawyer Hear It Read IT
My son loved the story and especially enjoys reading along with the CD.I like the CD component as it increases reading speed over time.We try to puchase as many read alongs as possible as we are often on the road. Our family enjoys good literature and it is a great way to introduce children to classics prior to high school where they will be reading unabridged versions of these stories on their own!

Book was good shipping was not great paid extra and did not come any faster

Funny and enjoyable
Mark Twain sure knows how to write funny stories - and "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is filled with them.My main criticism with the book is that there is no cohesive story.Instead there are several stories that are not connected to each other at all.The non-connected stories are funny, but there is no relation between them.It isn't until the book reaches the end where Twain begins to craft a cohesive storyline.It's definitely filled with some hilarious moments and great characters (Tom, Aunt Polly, and Huck), but as a whole I wouldn't classify this as a classic work of literature.For that you would have to read Twain's masterpiece "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."

Scam
I was planning a trip with my 5 children and we were excited to listen to the tapes.
It was a disaster. Some of the tapes were broken and others were taped over with pop music.
I could not wait to throw them away.
I will never buy used from Amazan again. ... Read more
