Mandarin, 1997

Thorn Steps Out
Broody loner Thorn (Travis McGee with attitude) is inveigled into taking a cruise when best pal Sugarman takes an almost fatal jolt of electricity while heading up security for the Fiesta Cruise Lines. Thorn on a cruise is about as likely as Jay Leno entering a monastery. "Buzz Cut" is loaded with fascinating, but highly unlikely characters. Monica, angry runaway daughter of cruise line ...
  
  











  



  
New Handbook for Auditory Evoked Responses3 reviews
James W. Hall

Allyn & Bacon, 2006

Excellent and Comprehensive
I am an audiologist and have graduated from my master's program 10 years ago. I read Dr. Hall's book (previous books on AERs) as a part of both my undergraduate and graduate degree classwork, and now have read this book, almost cover to cover for my AuD degree program. I have even had the wonderful opportunity to have Dr. Hall as a class instructor. This book is coherent, clear and very well ...
  
  











  



  
Tropical Freeze4 reviews
James W. Hall

Foul Play Press, 1999

On Thin Ice
In this, James Hall's second novel featuring Thorn, the author expands on the one of the odder heroes of the Florida Keys. Thorn enjoys being the odd man out, anti-authority, anti-employment and a bit to out spoken for his own good. Mix this with an instinctive desire to right wrongs when they present themselves to him and you have a natural formula for trouble and good reading. This time ...
  
  











  



  
The Oxford Guide to United State Supreme Court Decisions11 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2009

Oxford Guire to US Supreme Court Decisions
This is a handy reference to quickly correlate discussions of past decisions in the many articles on supreme court actions as well as during the confirmation process. It is a good book for every supreme court watcher to have on the shelf.
  
  











  



  
Hell's Bay (Thorn Mysteries)19 reviews
James W. Hall

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2008

Thrillers don't get any better than this.
Jim Hall is by far my favorite "thriller" writer in the world. His "Thorn" character is so special....when you begin any of Jim Halls' novels, plan to settle in for a good bit, because they are very difficult to put down. Jim Hall is a master.

Under Cover of Daylight13 reviews
James W. Hall

W. W. Norton & Company, 2001

Hall Starts with a Bang
I have always tried to read and authors books in order but unfortunately I failed miserably when it came to Hall's Thorn books. Most series where you read the books out of order its a minor miss step but here it was a huge mistake. While Hall's books, for the most part, can stand on its own you don't truly understand the Thorn character until you've read Daylight. Under Cover of Daylight is ...
  
  











  



  
Bones of Coral5 reviews
James W. Hall

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2004

Nobody does it like James W Hall!
James W Hall has a knack for creating quirky characters and sleazy bad guys. In this book, he has outdone himself with Dougie Barnes, a dimwitted, muscle-bound, rhyme-spouting, trash-talking thug with an appetite for murder and sex. If you think he's bad, wait until you meet his dad, Douglas, Sr. In Bones of Coral, ambulance paramedic Shaw Chandler of Miami finds his long lost dad dead in an ...

McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2002

Hall and Mercer's text is intended for schools that want a single book covering the standard topics from elementary algebra through intermediate algebra. The text is fully integrated, rather than being simply the joining of two, separate texts. Topics are organized not following the historical pattern, but by using as the guiding principles, the AMATYC standards as outlined in Crossroads in Mathematics.

Mean High Tide9 reviews
James W. Hall

Mandarin, 1995

Hall, yet again, delivers the goods...
...Hall, if you are at all familiar with him, is absolutely an incredible author. If you are coming to Hall via Hiaasen/Shames/Dorsey/Barry or even Leonard, a word of caution: Hall tends to use a slightly more doom and gloom approach to his writing. His is a work that is going to have a more ominious (even melancholy)tone to it---no offbeat hijinks to level off the atmosphere. With the other ...

James Hall

St. Martin's Griffin, 2003

Just a wonderful change of pace.
Mid-afternoon yesterday UPS brought me my latest Amazon order. On top was Dr. Hall's "Hot Damn!" I devoured it in two sessions. These thirty-nine essays are insightful, poignant, thoughtful, humorous, heartfelt and a joy to read. The compositions are such a delight that I will now go back and savor a couple of them daily. Each one is most relatable on a multitude of levels. You do not have to be ...

great writing makes for enjoyable read
I know I've enjoyed a book when I go online to discover which other books the author has written. As soon as I finished 'Blackwater Sound' I found myself searching for the next book by James W. Hall that I would read. Hall's charachters are vividly drawn and though flawed, very likeable. I was happy to discover that Hall's newest novel revisits Thorn, Alexandra, Lawton and Sugarman as I've ...
  
  











  



  
Body Language29 reviews
James W. Hall

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1999

Not up to par
Read Under Cover of Daylight, Buzz Cut or Mean High Tide if you want a good book by this author. This one has some great possibilities, but it just doesn't quite live up to those. Situations were too contrived and obvious. Check it out of the library and you will get your money's worth. :-)

H. Gustav Mueller, James W. Hall

Singular, 1998

An Audiologists' Gotta Have
This book is a "gotta have" book especially for the new audiologists (AuDs) on the rise. This is a wonderful tool for those starting out as well as those already in the profession.
  
  











  



  
Handbook of Otoacoustic Emissions (A Singular Audiology Text)3 reviews
James W. Hall

Singular, 2000

Primary guide for Otoacoustic Emissions
Otoacoustic emissions are covered in this text more thoroughly than in any other I've seen, from the different types of emissions, to measurement systems, to potential uses for the data collected (e.g. UNHS, ototoxicity monitoring etc.). I recommend this textbook without reservation for all audiologists.
