The Dangerous Book for Dogs: A Parody by Rex and Sparky

15 reviews
Joe Garden, Janet Ginsburg, ...

Villard, 2007

Dangerous to Read This to Dogs
This book is an endless source of levity and promotes enough loud laughter to scare your dog out of the room! It's so great I've already gotten 3 other folks hooked on it. My husband and I were reading one of these stories aloud the other day - the one about "How to Make Your Owner Look Like an Idiot" while Scottie slept at our feet. Or so we thought he was sleeping. The next day on his ...

Expect Miracles

Burman Books, Inc., 2008

Yes, Miracles, once understood are easy, and Oh so sweet
Why is it that sometimes life seems unbearable? Why do we fail to feel fulfilled or even happy most of the time? These answers are found by simply living a life full of miracles. And how do we get there? It's not hard, not impossible and certainly not something only the few have access to attaining. Once again, Joe Vitale is the master when it comes to engaging the reader in a discovery of ...

Before They Are Hanged (The First Law: Book Two)

29 reviews
Joe Abercrombie

Pyr, 2008

The best I've read in a looooong time
Mature, fantasy readers must read this. If you haven't read The First Law trilogy, go buy it. Now. Abercrombie has an amazing style, characters and plot development, and more importantly...the entire series doesn't have a single character or word more than it needs. Absolutely the best I've read, in any genre, for a long time.

The Blade Itself (The First Law: Book One)

Savage
While I admit that the characters are entertaining, the pace lively, and the style impressive; this books greatest achievement is its sheer savagery. For the scenes of Glotka torturing, the northmen rampaging, and best of all Logen's battle sequence, this book is worth your $15. This is the sort of book that makes you want to beat your chest with fury when you turn the final pages. The only fight ...

Last Argument of Kings (First Law: Book Three)

Joe Abercrombie

Pyr, 2008

This book is INCREDIBLE!
Calling all females- forget the romantic vampire books, this series is all you can want! Easy to read, romance, action, fighting, not too much magic. This book is so good that I can't stop reading it at night. The character development is unusually good, with unique characters. I care about all of the story lines. The action is so well-written, I don't want the chapters to end. I am only ...

What are they saying?
This fascinating book is a guide to the nonverbal communication people use in everyday situations. It comes from the FBIs analysis of nonverbal clues that telegraph untrustworthiness and deception. The author's goal is to help you understand and decipher body language in every day situations so that you can better understand people, whether they know it or not.

Gorgeous Book for a Gift!
This is a gorgeous book, FULL of photos and inside scoops about the Jonas Brothers. It is a large hardbound book, like a coffee table book, and can be displayed with your Jonas Brothers collection of memorabilia. Terrific gift for a birthday, Christmas, or other holiday. Fun for girls to read together at a slumber party too. Highly recommended for fans! Written for preteens and teens. ...

The Accidental Time Machine

Joe Haldeman

Ace, 2008

Interest read with weak ending
This is a fine piece of fiction work on the topic of time travel, it touches all the interesting aspects involved, even though the actual travelling is mostly forward. The author used the forwarding time travel to trace the evolution steps of human society, some of them are interesting. However the ending seems to be rushed, it basically invokes a higher power to solve everything which is ...

Great gift book

The Living Dead

Stephen King, Joe Hill, ...

Night Shade Books, 2008

Excellent Zombie anthology
What could be more enjoyable than a Zombie story anthology? How about enjoying one during and after Hurricane Ike, with no power and candlelight?? How about one that includes three of my all-time fav authors (Dan Simmons, George R. R. Martin and Stephen King)? How about one nearly 500 pages long (at least the ARC is)? How about one edited by John Joseph Adams, who also brought us the anthologies ...

A Must Read
This was a "must read" before this year's election and now moving forward to get our nation working together, its message is even more critical.

VeloPress, 2008

Real World Professional Cycling
If you want insight into day in day out real world professional cycling. It took real guts for a kid just out of high school to leave home, head off Belgium to become a professional cyclist. Joe Parkin did that and now has written I great book about his experiences. Not everyone can be a Lance Armstrong, Bernard Hinault or Greg LeMond but the thrill of striving to competitive at almost that ...

Elmo's Big Lift-And-look Book (Great Big Board Book)

Anna Ross

Random House, 1994

Stimulating, fun, and educational, too!
I bought this book for a friend's child years ago, and knew I'd want to buy it for my own child one day, too. So, my little guy just turned a year old recently, and happens to be a big Sesame Street fan. When this book arrived, he got so excited to see Elmo on the cover! He LOVES it! We read this book several times a day. He loves opening all of the flaps and seeing all of his favorite ...

Sarah Palin: A New Kind of Leader

An Honest Look at Sarah Palin
I bought this book thinking it would be littered with obvious praise for Sarah Palin but instead I found a book that was very well-written, very interesting and honest-I could not put it down! The book explained how she became who she is, who we see today and how she got there. It explained a lot about her experience as a city council member, mayor and campaigning style. It also explained how she ...

The Triathlete's Training Bible (2nd Edition)

Joe Friel

VeloPress, 2004

Tons of information useful for all levels
I bought this book about 2 months ago while I was preparing for my first triathlon. I read a lot of the previous reviews, and I have to say that the major selling point for me wasn't the positive reviews. It was actually the negative ones who said the book was too hardcore. WOOHOO!! This was my kind of training manual. It's true that the suggested fitness programs are designed for people ...

Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You've Never Been Told

Joe Kovacs

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Thank GOD someone dared to be honest!
Joe Kovacs takes the facts in the bible to a whole new level. He has the courage to be forward and "tell it like it is". For those who have ACTUALLY read the book they found out that there are a lot of subjects in the bible that are never spoken of at church or anywhere. I believe that if God had it written, it was intended to be read and talked about. Nothing is candy-coated. I am excited ...

The Devious Book for Cats: A Parody

1 review
Joe Garden, Janet Ginsburg, ...

Villard, 2008

Laugh-out-loud funny
Over the years I've read many supposed-to-be-funny-and-clever little books about cats. This is because I live with a lot of cats and a lot of books, and people tend to think that if you like books and cats, then you certainly must find any book with "cat" in the title to be of significant interest. As a result, birthdays and holidays around here often end up looking like a collection site for a ...

Wiley, 2007

ABSOLUTELY GREAT BOOK !!!!
I have received a message about the Zero Limits book being published in Czech republic (in Czech language) through friend of mine who already red the book and was absolutely amazed. I went on the internet and order it. When I started to read it I was so impressed immediately that I could not stop reading until I was finished! I am familiar with several self - cleaning processes but the ...

Locke & Key

Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodriguez

IDW Publishing, 2008

Don't Go Through That Door!
I'm harder to scare these days than when I was a kid and horror movies were still black and white and filled with trademark Hollywood monsters. Currently, I've been through a plethora of Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, and ghost movies and their spawn. It takes a lot to scare me these days. Then Hollywood introduced me to FRIDAY THE 13TH, HALLOWEEN, and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. George C. ...
