You need this book. Definitely.
I ordered this book without much hesitation, once I discovered Tony was writing it. Having read his past book "Introducing Character Animation with Blender", I ordered this one without thinking twice. Now that this book is in my hands, I can't regret for my choice. The overall quality of the publication is impressive. Not only for the contents but also for the technical production: fine paper ...

excellent
This was the first Bullet Catcher book I read. Now I'm going to find the rest. I loved the fresh, contemporary plot. The hero, really is amazing. The sexual tension just about burns up the pages.

Beautiful poetry admist war
Iraqi-war veteran Brian Turner penned a collection of his poetry in Here, Bullet, which he says all but one poem was written overseas. The result is a well-thought out and well-written firsthand account of the travesties of war. Turner manages to see and record the poetry in even the most devastating of circumstances, with such grace and poignancy. It seems almost effortless, as Turner even ...

Even better than book 1! Max Roper is a dream hero. Cori is a smart but vulnerable heroine. Their love story is gripping.
The Bullet Catcher Series: Kill Me Twice Thrill Me To Death Take Me Tonight Roxanne St. Claire has me hooked. Her hero characters, known as The Bullet Catchers, are incredible. Each has a unique personality, an interesting past, and a noble heart. None would hesitate to sacrifice himself for his client. These men are intelligent and powerful, yet still ordinary guys who make ...

The real heroism of our armed forces
This book has a beautiful grit and honesty. Fick doesn't talk up or down to the reader. He doesn't glorify or embellish the life of a marine. He doesn't judge or condemn politicians, military or brass, his superiors or his troops. He just tells his story, in a clear, resonant, powerful voice. The simplicity of his style conveys the clarity of a marine's values - honor, loyalty, duty, having ...

Best yet from Cliff Atkinson... I'm now a complete fan!
I recommend "Beyond Bullet Points" in my class all the time. I continually have people coming up to me and asking where my slides came from or how I go about creating them. While I cannot say that I stick to the BBP process strictly, I do use its concepts heavily in my slides. This is why I tell these people ot start with BBP. Well, I just picked up my copy of the 2007 version of BBP last week ...

over the top
Roxanne St. Claires book get better and better each one she writes. Once you have read one you just cannot stop. Besides plenty of action and good looking men who are perfect even with flaws (you just have to have faith) you hate to come to the last page. If only she could write as fast as we all read life would be wonderful

This was a terrific story with strong characters, mystery, romance, and action.
The Bullet Catcher Series: Kill Me Twice Thrill Me To Death Take Me Tonight I'm always excited when I find a new author to add to my home library. Roxanne St. Claire can really tell a story. Her descriptions of the locations in the tale are vivid without being too wordy. Her characters are well developed and realistic. There is plenty of mystery and lots of fast- paced scenes to ...

A great follow-up and continuation to First Shot, Last Call
I was totally blown away by 100 Bullets: First Shot, Last Call. Most people think of comic books as mostly about superheroes and villains. Sure there's the rare serious titles that deal with more than just costumed heroes and out of this world situations, but outside of Miller's Sin City, there's not been another comic book to truly take a shot at creating a noir title that does the word honor. ...

It's about time!!
WHY did it take so long for someone to write this book? Bozarth, the author of "Elearning on a Shoestring", is back with her common-sense approach to creating great online learning. As she notes time and time again, no tool will take static content and magically transform it into engaging training: that will always require effort, creativity, and design skill. The examples of effective treatments ...

great new series
100 Bullets is a great new series, though I've read the books not included here, and I think it might have been better as a mini-series. Nice artwork, interesting and original storyline, though not one that coudl be continued indefinitely. Still, good stuff, if only the first volume. Legendary.

An awesome new chapter to 100 Bullets. Things are really starting to heat up as plans are but into motion, alliances change, and you find out the one things that disgusts Lono. Basically, if you've been reading 100 Bullets, you know you are getting this book. If you haven't read 100 Bullets, why the hell aren't you? Pick up the first 2 books and start reading from there and catch up. Do not ...

Fun and Fast Paced
Kitty continues her quest to find an identity she can live with in this book. Ms. Vaughn does an excellent job bringing Kitty and the rest of her cast to life throughout the series, and she keeps it going in this latest installment. A sparse writer (a good thing!), Vaughn truly shows the reader the action and the characters, and the way she handles the narrative when the wolf comes out is ...

A fantastic GM-caliber opening resource made accessbile to complete beginners
b3-Colle was the opening system of choice for the unofficial world champion Akiba Rubinstein. The opening is easy to reproduce over the board - just play d4, e3, Bd3, Nf3, Nbd2, b3, Bb2, 0-0, a3, Ne5 ... that is 10 moves - against any setup by black. A simple 10-move sequence that is good enough for world championship is rare! Needless to say, Black has many good responses, and White needs to ...

The only care plan book you'll need!
After receiving a recent email asking me which care plan book I'd recommend to a nursing student who was staying up very late working on her care plans, I told her I'd write a review of the book that was my best friend on the night before clinicals. This is it. I had two care plan books that were not working for me so I spent about 8 hours one weekend in Barnes and Nobles looking through ...

I've used this method and it works
I borrowed it from the library and I am going to purchase it for my personal business library. I think that this is a great resource book. I decided to try this method since I do a presentation about once a month to pharmacists. This book helped me to organize my thoughts and present the material in a logical manner. I am in the health care industry and the people I present to are used to seeing ...

An awesome combination of Sin City stories.
Frank Miller's Sin City is still dead-on as the the most violent, dark and most noir comic of our time. Book 6 of 7, Booze, Broads, & Bullets is a combination of stories about the people of Basin City. These tales are funny, perverted and emotional, "Silent Night", "The Customer is Always Right", "The Babe Wore Red" "And Behind Door Number Three... are my favorite of the bunch. I hope you ...
