Fantastic
My daughter (3rd grade, 6th grade reading level) has read hundreds of books. She says it's the BEST book she has ever read. She couldn't put it down and read it all in one night. She can't stop talking about it!!
Extinction: Bad Genes or Bad Luck?

David M. Raup
W. W. Norton & Company
, 1992
reviewed by Victor Niederhoffer (Daily [...])
This book by David M. Raup, a biologist at the University of Chicago, of the Stephen Jay Gould genre, identifies everything about extinction that we thought was true but is not. The author's main thesis is that extinction is a mostly random event; due to catastrophes and bad luck, and not related to the process of evolution that is part and parcel of the Darwinian idea. The author believes that ...

A delightful tale from a talented writer
Geralyn Dawson has quietly been gathering a lot of praise with Bad Luck Wedding Cake and Bad Luck Wedding Dress books. Well, she is back with another Bad Luck book, though lacking that appellation in the title. Her Bodyguard, the Bad Luck Curse jumps a generation as Trace's daughter Maribeth has her tale. Two sisters are featured in supporting roles, so fans of Ms. Dawson are guaranteed at ...

, 1978
Lesson in compassion
Contrary to its title, "Bad Luck Tony" is a heart-warming story. According to the card catalog description, Tony wants his wandering Grandpa to stay longer and he wants to find a home for a pregnant dog. Yes, that description summarizes the story, but leaves out the heart--for Tony is a boy with heart. Tony first sees the pregnant dog when he and his friends are going home after playing. They ...

We love the animal rescue series!
Emily Costello writes the best children's books with strong female progtaganits I've ever read! From feisty nine-year old Stella, who has a deep love of animals, to her forest ranger mother and aunt Anya,who is town vet, the women are smart, capable and unflinching in times of stress--models so difficult to find in so many of today's children's books. (The thing I like least about the books are ...
Bad Luck Woman (Memento Mori Mysteries)
3 reviews
Letha Albright
Avocet Press
, 2005
"Bad Luck Woman" is a Great Read
Letha Albright is one of those writers that make other writers grit their teeth in envy. She often says more in a sentence than others do in a page. Her books are not cluttered with cardboard characters, but alive with real people you quickly get to know and think you understand - good, bad, or (apparently) irrelevant. The central character, Viv Powers, is a quick-witted but very human ...

Kenny Roda not a Cleveland Sports Fan
Kenny Roda is a Steeler fan. Don't let him fool you in his review. He is a crummy Steeler fan who doesn't know one thing about sports suffering. He has seen his Pirates win the World Series, his Steelers win the Super Bowl, and his Penguins win the Stanley Cup. Listen to WTAM. WKNR sucks.
