A Must Have for Owners of Auxiliary Sailboats
I have a 1987 Catalina 30 sailboat with a diesel engine. I wish I had purchased a copy of this book six years ago when I bought my boat. I might have saved hundreds and maybe even thousands of dollars in yard bills by doing more of the work myself with the help of this book. I have the 2nd Edition published in 1995. I think it is well organized, well written, and I find the illustrations to ...

Parents will like it too!
My son has over 150 books and he hasn't started school yet. He loves to be read to. I bought this series thinking it would keep him entertained for a while, but soon found myself reading ahead. Not just another Harry Potter knock off. They may be a little predictable, but are a lot of fun and family safe.

The Game Maker's Apprentice
This is a wonderful book! The instructions are easy to follow and all of the games are fun. I liked the fact that the finished games are on the CD so you could see what they are like while you are working on them.

Ranger's Apprentice: The Sorcerer of the North (Ranger's Apprentice)
John Flanagan

Philomel, 2008

Time has passed since the apprentice and his master, Will and Halt, led the Araluens to victory against invaders, and Will is now a full-fledged Ranger with his own fief to look after. The fief seems sleepy— boring, even—until the king is poisoned. Joined by his friend Alyss, Will is thrown headfirst into an extraordinary adventure propelled by fears of sorcery, and must determine who is trustworthy to the king and who is trying to take his ...

Ghosts, Bogarts, Witches and Fiend too, Oh My!
This series seems to take place in merry old England about half a century ago. Okay, maybe England wasn't so merry than. It's a land of small towns and villages steeped in history, tradition and superstition. It's also a land of ghosts, bogarts and witches, and luckily spooks. Spooks are the good guys, the ghosties, bogies and witchies are bad, generally. Then, of course, there is the Fiend ...

Innovative page turner
I've just finished the Farseer trilogy and decided to weigh in on the first book so everyone knows what they're getting into. This book was pure genius. The author goes through great pains to describe all of her characters, and does it by never shifting viewpoints from the main character! That means that you get first person perspective from the most important character in the series for all 3 ...

Ranger's Apprentice: The Battle for Skandia (Ranger's Apprentice, Book 4)

Very well written story. You'll love to see the characters mature throughout.
This was a superbly written story that had many heartfelt moments. The end battle scene was amazingly detailed, well thought out and thrilled to the end.

The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread

Ten Speed Press, 2001

Beautiful book, delicious bread...
I'm an idiot baker, but a little snooty about the bread I buy. So when I turned out the best baguette I've probably ever had, inside or outside of France, I knew this was a keeper. The book looks too pretty to be useful, but it rocks. Want the chemistry behind baking? Check. Want helpful photos demonstrating technique? Check. Want recipes that make complex and amazing bread? Yeah, baby. ...

Apprentice of apprentices
Anyone who has ever worked at a continental-style restaurant should read this book. I picked up "Heat" in the interests of reliving my experiences in two continental restaurants, run by two totally different-in-temperament chefs, one Austrian, one Swiss. Neither one embodies quite the insanity exhibited by Mario Batali, the owner/operator of Babbo in New York City,and known via TV as The Iron ...

Through the looking glass; Physik takes Septimus beyond...
Angie Sage keeps the Septimus Heap series going strong with Physik - the third book after Magyk and Flyte. In Physik we have a complex web of plot elements (no spoilers in this review) that take the narrative deep into the history and architecture of the castle and deeper into a an increasingly sophisticated magical realm. There's more about the forms and uses of magyk in this title, and less ...

Ranger's Apprentice Series Review
READ THIS!!! This book is amazing for all fantasy lovers, full of medieval adventures. About a boy who becomes the apprentice of a ranger, this book is AWESOME. I would recommend it for anyone who likes adventure. Will, the main character, goes through many challenges, and I like this book because the way out of challenges isn't too easy. If you're not insanely stupid, read this ...

Review by Stuart, my son, age 10
This book is suspenseful and satisfying. Will doesn't directly defeat the terrifying Kalkara, because that would be phony, but he figures out a way to get the job done. Halt knows about Will's dad, who died before he was born, who wasn't a knight, but he was very brave.

Magician: Apprentice (Riftwar Saga)

Raymond Feist

Spectra, 1994

Sensitively and Intelligently written
This is not your typical fantasy series beginning. The major theme is quite unique in that magicians can open rifts between worlds. And this is where this story starts, with a rift opening and an invading army coming through. About the Magic: I tend to shy away from books that focus too much on magic. I find a tendency to use magic spells as a way to get out of plot difficulties - Absolutely ...

Tales of a Shaman's Apprentice
This was purchased for my mother, who's taking a trip to Costa Rica. I read it years ago and remembered liking it. She read it, loved it and is now passing it around to her fellow-travelers.

They get Better and Better and Better
I had the lay down date marked on my calendar, and couldnt wait to run down to the store as soon as the day came to get my copy. I had read the previous three installments and did a 5 star review on book two, The Curse of the Bane. Delaney just keeps these books remarkably riveting, scary and intense. This was the longest book yet but by far the best of the four. Our young Apprentice is getting ...

The Surgeon returns for a second act!
Boston detective Jane Rizzoli has healed physically from the gruesome attack she suffered at the hands of Warren Hoyt, The Surgeon, but the psychological scab on the wound is still fresh. Faced with a copycat killer, who has been dubbed The Dominator, Rizzoli is forced to recognize the possibility that she's not capable of dealing with the psychiatric baggage of the last attack and that she's no ...

Picador, 2007

My favorite book!!!
I have to admit, the beginning is slightly slow, but once the first case takes place, the plot becomes action-packed. It is written in first person by Miss Mary Russell herself. Mary Russell has recently arrived in Britain from England after a car accident kills her family. She lives with a horrible aunt, but is "rescued" from her by stepping onto (literally) retired Sherlock Holmes. The ...

Outstanding series for young readers and their parents!
I have been reading this series to my four children at bed time. It has captivated their attention as well as mine. We catch ourselves reading up to seven chapters some evenings. John Flannagan does a superior job holding our attention, plunging us into the story to the point that we don't want to put the book down. This is the second book in the series. It is well written. It puts my ...

Horrid Service
My book was nice. The Amazon staff and shipping were very horrible. I will not be purchasing from Amazon again. The book's cover was literally taped into the OUTSIDE of the box. The customer service was polite but forced me to return the ruined book. This involved me having to give the nasty book to someone for a gift and then replacing it, packaging the damaged book back up and going to the ...
