Joseph Delaney

HarperTrophy, 2007

Great book fun and exciting
This book was great, started off exciting with Tom, the spooks apprentice binding his first boggart. From there the story leads to The master and apprentice going to preistown to take care of the Bane, an ancient dark creature that lives in the catacombs under the city. Overall great book.

Best Book Ever
I enjoyed this book. I thought it was very interesting. I could not stop reading it. It was so good. So now I just can't wait to read the 3rd book.

Berkley, 2005

A Fun Easy Read
This is a cute story. It is easy and quick to read. I love the way Mary Janice Davidson writes. If you love fun silly paranormal novels then this is your book. It is a romance novel but not your stereotypical romance novel.

Witches' Bane (China Bayles 2)

Susan Wittig Albert

Berkley, 1994

Fun characters, humor, and well-crafted mystery
I loved every page of "Witches Bane" and look forward to reading more in the China Bayles series. The characters were fun, the story moved along at a brisk pace, lots of humor was tossed in, clue gradually built toward solving the mystery, making this a very enjoyable book. In this one, China's friend Ruby starts a Tarot class that gets the group accused of being witches, one member is ...

Del Rey, 2007

A very enjoyable continuation of the Star Wars experience.
A have just recently started reading more of the Star Wars books and this was a great starting place. It does not require much knowledge of the series to be enjoyable. I highly recommend this book for any fan of sci-fi.

Stephen R. Donaldson

Del Rey, 1987

Donaldson = Awesome Writer
I've read a number of newer reviews and noticed a surprising trend of negativity and bashing. I've seen a few good points in some and but think some others are reaching, i.e letting a few character names ruin the whole series for them. Maybe my review itself will be looked down upon, but although there are similarities between Stephen R. Donaldson's tales and Tolkein's I actually prefer the ...

Del Rey, 2007

Awesome...Awesome...Loved it!
I loved this book, this book, I could not stop reading. This book focuses on Des who later becomes Darth Bane. I love how each chapter just focuses on him and only him, from his times in the mines to his training in the sith academy. I was very impressed with this book, and was only annoyed in the fact that I read it so fast that the ride of excitement of this book was over. I just hope the ...

I'll Miss You Too: An Off-to-College Guide for Parents and Students

13 reviews
Margo E. Woodacre Bane, Steffany Bane

Sourcebooks Trade, 2006

Real stuff; not adults writing down to kids
There is a great line in this book; at a moment of despair, Steffany says `I was one with the car.' It's great because no adult would ever write that; we tend to filter ourselves. This sounds like a kid, dealing with the real emotions of leaving home. There is so much literature about the students leaving, but so little on how the parent/child relationship is effected. Margo has done a ...

The Elric Saga Part II The Vanishing Tower; The Bane of the Black Sword; Stormbringer.

Michael Moorcock

Doubleday Books, 1984

A Fantasy Classic!
This book includes the fourth through the sixth of the old six book Elric series that Moorcock put out. I was seriously into Moorcocks Elric stuff as a teenager and now after rereading it after all these years I still consider this to be a classic in the fantasy genre. Elric is far from being a typical or cliched fantasy hero, in fact I would label him as an anti-hero. Instead of being a strong ...

Rule of Two (Star Wars: Darth Bane)

53 reviews
Drew Karpyshyn

Del Rey, 2008

A Must Read Sequel!
This is a sequel to the best Star Wars book of all-time and, since it continues what the other book started, is a total must-read! It is even darker than the first book, and does an excellent job continuing an already-awesome story. Also, let me say that I am very picky and in general don't like most of the Star Wars books. Taking that into consideration, you should absolutely buy this book!

The Lives of Danielle Steel: The Unauthorized Biography of America's #1 Best-Selling Author

8 reviews
Vickie L. Bane, Lorenzo Benet

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1995

Others Missing the Point
All of these negative reviewers are missing the point. This book was written to show the interesting parallels between Danielle Steels life and the characters in her book. The book doesn't go out of its way to say that Danielle is a bad person - it's just saying, "look, her books are a lot like her life." You people should just relax and enjoy the parallels between life and fiction. This is a ...

SFBC, 2002

Deep, dark, epic fantasy
THE SERIES: I've read this series twice, with a span of twenty-some years in between. When I first read it, I liked the characters, images, and story, but the language seemed deliberately over-complicated and intellectual. Now, after re-reading it, I think that I just wasn't ready for it the first time. LORD FOUL'S BANE: Thomas Covenant is a successful writer working on a sequel to his ...

Terpsichore in Sneakers: Post-Modern Dance (Wesleyan Paperback)

1 review
Sally Banes

Wesleyan, 1987

Tripping the Post-Modern Light Fantastic
The evolution of the roughly twenty-five years of American post-modern dance is expounded upon in Sally Banes' articulate and comprehensive treatment of the period from 1960 to 1985. Pivotal characters in this history, of which there are several, are examined in detail, with many descriptive passages of definitive works and happenings from the era. Post-modern, originally referring only ...

A Mortal Bane (Magdaline La Batarde)

Roberta Gellis

Tor Books, 2001

Cadfael lite
The action in this book takes place around the same time frame as the Brother Cadfael series, with the struggle between King Stephen and Empress Maud as a somewhat distant background. To call this book "Cadfael lite" is, to me, not a disparagement but a compliment, for I feel that the Cadfael series set the benchmark for historical mysteries set in 12th century England. There's an excellent plot, ...

Tom Deitz

Ingalls Pub/High Country, 2006

Fantasy, with a little bit of Southern flavor.
I bought this little paperback while I was attending the University of Georgia back in the late 1980s. The book immediately captivated me. It's a mixture of fantasy, with a little bit of southern flavor. The story is about the adventures of young David Sullivan and his friends, all high school students living in a rural area of the Georgia mountains. Not your typical rural teen ager, David's ...

Ladies' Bane (A Miss Silver Mystery)

Patricia Wentworth

Harpercollins, 1993

A Wentworth Noir Story
This is the first of the lengthy Miss Silver series that is an actual noir novel. In it we have a femme fatale, a dodgy Scotsman, and a very old manor house that has a terrible curse. This is an exciting little story, and I really enjoyed it, even though I had figured out who the killer was right away. The things that I didn't figure out came out as the plot developed, and they were ...

Precious Bane

Mary Webb

Echo Library, 2008

A Book to Savor
This is an amazing book which should be read by all those who enjoy British literature. It is a touching, romantic story. The writing is sensual in that there are sounds, smells, sights, tastes and textures to be experienced in its textual descriptions. The natural setting almost becomes a "character" in and of itself because you could not take the story out of the beautiful, natural, country ...
