Owen's Village2 reviews
William Dean Hamilton

CreateSpace, 2008

Well crafted horror novel with lots of twists
A Well crafted novel I hadn't heard of William Hamilton before I read his post here on Amazon about horror writers, but I decided to check out the book after reading his blurb. I was very impressed with the book, which was sometimes creepy, shocking, or funny, depending on the chapter. In fact, while the overall tone of the book was serious, the funny chapters were funnier than many humorous ...
  
  











  



  
11:15 to Dawn, Robert Downey Junior1 review
William Hamilton

CreateSpace, 2008

Wasn't familiar with RDJ now a fan
I didn't know much about Robert Downey Junior, but one of my friends suggested I read this book. The book was great, I found him to be a very interesting person. His struggle with drug addiction was very compelling, and I'm glad that he has overcome it. The book was filled with great RDJ quotes, each one funnier than the last. I didn't really realize how many movies he has been in, it doesn't ...
  
  











  



  
At the Crossroads: A History of Sackville, New Brunswick1 review
William B. Hamilton

Gaspereau Press, 2004

Backward Into History
William B. Hamilton loves to talk--about history in general and his new book in particular. We'd no sooner settled in at one of the Waverley Inn's breakfast room tables than he'd launched into a lenghy account of the backgrou7nd behind his new book, At the Crossroads: A History of Sackville, New Brunswick. Hamilton's interest in history stretches back decades. Through teaching and writing, ...
  
  











  



  
The Children's Shakespeare (Dove Kids')6 reviews
William Shakespeare

Audio Literature, 1998

Fantastic introduction to Shakespeare for younger children
I read and reread this book as a youth. The stories read much like classic fairy tales with tragedy, irony, and moral lessons. The writing is very accessible and encouraged me to seek out the full length "stories" in their original (play script) form once I was old enough (6th/7th grade) to really read them. For a child who has a love of literature, these retellings of the great plays may start a ...
  
  











  



  
Blessed, Life and Films of Val Kilmer1 review
William Hamilton

CreateSpace, 2008

A great Biography of a great actor
After reading Mr. Hamilton's biography of Robert Downey Junior, and his novel Owen's Village, I decided to try this book. I have been a fan of Val Kilmer for a long time. I have always heard that he was hard to work with, but after reading the book, it is hard to image how he got this reputation. I am an even bigger fan now, glad I read the book.
  
  











  



  
Dakota: An Autobiography of a Cowman1 review
William Henry Hamilton

South Dakota State Historical Society, 1998

Fascinating description of life on the frontier of Dakota
Hamilton was one of the small ranchers who traveled to Dakota after the Civil War to find his fortune. Written years after the events described, the clarity with which he recalls the events and the details of daily life are amazing. The good-humored style and the simple stories have the power to make you wish you could have gone along with those hardy pioneers.
  
  











  



  
Mammals of the Eastern United States2 reviews
John O. Whitaker, Jr., ...

Diane Pub Co, 1998

Excellent!!
Hamilton and Wittaker's Guide to Mammals of the Eastern United States is an excellent book. It allows one to become familar with species of mammals and those that are related to them. The diagrams and pictures are very useful. The text is very complete and leaves nothing out. The key at the beginning of the book allows those that are no very familar with mammals to get a head start in finding ...
  
  











  



  
Blind Harry's Wallace6 reviews
William Hamilton

Luath Press Limited, 1999

a must for those Studying William Wallace
For the person wanting to have a balanced view of Wallace, they need to include this text. Blind Harry or Blin Hary the Minstrel is believed to live from 1440-1493. Very little is really known about him. However, he is recalled for this major achievement of gathering and recording stories of Wallace. Supposedly the first written work about Wallace. He sang or recited these stories in verse form, ...
  
  











  



  
Programming Windows Nt 4 Unleashed2 reviews
Mickey Williams, David Hamilton

Sams Publishing, 1996

Excellent for the C++ programmer who wants to learn NT/MFC.
This book represents an exemplary survey for the C++ programmer on how to develop for Windows NT. It starts with an excellent survey of NT architecture then proceeds with several chapters on an overview of the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). The strength of this work is that each chapter is succinct and relatively complete. Since MFC is so rich with features, it is extremely difficult ...

My Taoist Vision of Art1 review

Parkway Publishers, 1999

A fascinating book by an authentic "Outsider Artist"
Not only do you learn about "Outsider Art" but you get to know one and how he got that way in this very interesting book. The photos of his art work are wonderful and I do reccomend it to everyone interested in learning more about Outsider Art, Taoism, Philosophy and Art in general. You also get to know the artist. I beleive that it is the first time an "Outsider Artist" has written about ...
  
  











  



  
Don't Mind If I Do4 reviews
George Hamilton, William Stadiem

Touchstone, 2008

By George
What an enjoyable read! Unlike the all-too-typical angst-ridden star autobiography, George Hamilton (with collaborator William Stadiem) delivers the goods in the same breezy, self-effacing and irreverant tone that has kept his career afloat for nearly fifty years while most of his similarly pretty-faced contemporaries have long drifted out of public memory. Who cares if most people would be hard ...

Shaken and Stirred3 reviews

HarperCollins e-books, 2007

How to Face the Next Four Years
What could be more perfect? A book you can drink and read at the same time! What Susan Orlean found in Orchids, NY TIMES columnist Hamilton has found in the perfect Gimlet: the meaning of life. Even better than Hamilton's dry and dirty war/bar stories from his New York City beat is the childish glee you'll get while mixing mysterious potions made from all those odd liquor bottles you've never ...
  
  











  



  
Father Behind Bars: A Story of Responsibility That Affects Everyone in America1 review
Arthur L., Jr. Hamilton, William Banks

Wrs Pub, 1995

An outstanding book
This book, I found truly remarkable. It shows that prison can reform some people. Mr.Hamilton shows that there is the possibility of rehablilitation in the prison system. The sad part is the death of his mother, and the violent death of his younger brother, that sends him into a life committing crime. His come back however, is remarkable. What he has done for himself and for other immates around ...

An enjoyable read to share with little ones
Polly's Picnic is a spirited and happy picture book about a young girl who wants to enjoy a picnic by the river - only some malicious guests abscond with her tasty lunch!
