Michael Yon: Online Magazine from Iraq...
I haven't read this book yet (sorry for the 5 star rating), but have picked up on his online magazine (blog). Michael Yon has and is travelling all around Iraq - mostly in the hotspots with the U.S. Army (Strykers), where he does his reporting. I find his weekly dispatches informative and interesting, and will definitely be picking up his book. If you liked his book, please go to ...

Just My Best, 2005

Golly-by-Golly, the Toonies are rockin'!
"The day the Toonie leaped out of Jeremy Kern's computer and landed smack-dab in the middle of his life, he thought he was going nuts." From this very first line, Betty Dravis had me captivated and dying to know just how the story of a computer whiz kid from Silicon Valley and his cartoon friends would play out. Troubled by his parents' recent incessant arguing, Jeremy escapes to his ...

Great Book; Damned Publishers
The Diadem series has been my favorite book since I was ten years old. I am now fifteen and still remember almost every little detail. To bad he finished the series so abruptly, right? Then again, he didn't. John Peel has written the seventh book and is still working on book eight. The only reason why the series is not sold in stores is because the publishing companies refuse to publish ...

i read this over and over again.
this book never gets old. i've had it for so long and now i'm off to college and i still enjoy reading it cover to cover. anne is a great character, one who is easy to love and who explains herself well. the other characters are also quirky. something about this book is very universal, which i think explains why even in this century i still find myself being able to relate to Anne. the plot, ...

Cute book for kids, especially if you own a Jeep!
We got this book as a gift when my son was 2 years old. It's gone through two more kids and they all love it! We take it with us when we go for Jeep rides, too! We have "Sheep out to eat" and they don't like that as much as the Jeep one. It's a great book to have, especially if you own a Jeep!

Stumbling to shortcuts in 3 days
Until I purchased this book, I had owned FCP4 for six months. I had learned my way around the software well enough. I felt comfortable, but not necessarily proficient. In order to improve my editing time, I went ahead and ordered this book, also with the intent of getting my Apple certification, as this is the same text used in their classes. Normally, I am the type that I will skip sections ...

Pogue is the MAC guru
Of the many computer books in my posession, Pogue is the best by far! Everything from Macs for Dummies, Mac Secrets and now the Missing Manual series. If the answers are not there Pogue is on the web and will answer questions as well as take suggestions for future reference. In my humble opinion, if it's Mac: Pogue's The Man! This is after several years including a newspaper job with many macs ...

All 'Round Book for Beginners
This book has more information in it than any book I've found so far on Polymer Clay. There is enough information on the basics to get a beginner started. How to handle clay, storage, baking, and differences in products. There is such a variety of techniques and projects that you're sure to find some you're not interested in as well as a LOT that you love. Most of the other books I've ...

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1986

A gentle, thoughtful gem
Like so many others, I read this lovely book when I was much younger, and it has remained with me to this day. It's a deceptively simple story, told directly & clearly, which poses quite a few difficult ethical & moral questions about the world we take for granted. Yet it's never preachy or heavy-handed. Through the eyes of Little Jon, we not only see the flaws of our own society, with its ...

I've heard of "gentle readers" but this author is a "gentle writer". She has taken a subject that could be horrifying for kids and made it a "spooky adventure". When I was a little girl I had a metal dollhouse with little rubber people and hard plastic furniture. To me it was a mansion with soft contours and real life. As an adult I love the giant dollhouse at the Smithsonian and reading ...
