Fatal Revenant: The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant

Stephen R. Donaldson

Ace Trade, 2008

Simply Engrossing
As other reviewers here have written, it would be difficult in the extreme to discuss aspects of this book, without giving away important plot and story concepts/secrets. So, let's deal simply with it's strengths. Like all good genre fantasy or science fiction, the first and foremost important feature of a well crafted book is its ability to draw you in and completely immerse you in an ...

The Name of the Wind (The Kingkiller Chronicle, Day 1)

Patrick Rothfuss

DAW, 2008

Life Changing
I am so glad that fantasy has attracted such a great writer as Patrick Rothfuss, because I love both fantasy and literary art. He has both. He loves the whole concept of telling a story, but he also loves to get to the heart of art. It is beautiful, and painful at the same time. And it is life changing, at least for me, because it gives me ideas and motivation. That could be just a personal ...

Spiderwick Chronicles - boxed set of 5 books
After we watched the movie, my daughter wondered why there needed to be a field guide for so few mythological creatures. She was right!!! The movie cut out so many main elements and characters, that the books were a welcome relief to know the story that the authors actually intended to share. The size and storage box make them truly easy to join my other collectables.

Bird Songs book review
I received this book as a gift a few years ago, and since then, I have given 4 of them as gifts to my bird-loving friends! I also shared it with a friend who just turned 3 years old. She enjoyed learning the names of the birds and the sounds they make. I have learned to identify birds by their sounds, without even seeing them!

The Art of WALL.E

Great Art of Wall-E
If you take a look in this book, and actually carefully go through every page, you'll see that Pixar puts an incredible amount of work and effort to make sure its animation looks ideal and stunning for every scene. The rough sketches and digital animation look amazing and the book explains many nuances in the whole making of the movie.

C. S. Lewis

Sexy Scenes None, A Great Read
Great Books well written from an author you can trust when giving your children summer reading. I chose to pull books by Tamora Pierce from my 13 year old daughter after glancing into them to find uncontrolable passions of the teen aged heroine, plus mentioning the use of magic for birth control. Uncontrolable passion is never a good thing if we are truthful. Even my distain of rap! ...

Amazing novel by one of our greatest story tellers
This is one of the finest works by Murakami whose style is unsurpassed in modern literature.

Sex Deck: Playful Positions to Spice Up Your Love Life

Helps Spice Things Up
I bought these cards for my girlfriend and I. Not only did they arrive in one day, they are totally awesome. To be fair, my girlfriend and I don't really need these cards to instruct us, for I have learned that we just know how to do all of these positions by instinct, but these cards are great anyway. We use them more as a game where we pick out a card at random and then go for it. The cards are ...

Great place to start with Marquez
I think this is an excellent book to start reading Marquez. The book is short enough to allow a hesitant reader to finish it and see the full effect of his work.

Peek-A Who?

Eek-a!
My 13 month old loves this book. It actually inspired her fifth word! We were reading the book and as I was about to say "Peek-A... Moo", I heard this tiny "eek-a" from my daughter. I turned the page for Peek-a-Boo, and before I could say anything, she did it again - "eek-a". It's repetitious so I think it taught her to say the word. Now she loves to say "eek-a" before I turn the page. I ...

Ted Dekker

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Lost books found
This 4th & final chapter in the Lost books series is a surprise, to say the least. There is quite a jump to the "other earth" that provides humor and perhaps, just a bit of silliness to the otherwise intense book. Some of the challenges experienced by the Chosen are somewhat over-the-top in my mind, but I am not the 15 year old for whom this book is written. I think any young person will find it ...

Ted Dekkor is the best.
Ted Dekker has a way of working other books into the Circle Trilogy and he does it seamlessly.

Ted Dekker

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Not a kids book
I have to say that way i purchased this it was for a light read. Nothing too deep. I was mistaken. This book ties in at least 3 other books of his outside of the Black, Red, White. Be on the look out for those references. Great writing, very engaging.

A Wonderfully Versatile Book!
I shouldn't have been surprised that this book is a really wonderful, versatile book. True, it's a book for sewing baby items but they have a couple of really nice bags, designed in the wonderful Amy Butler style. The directions are clear, w. wonderful diagrams. There are patterns included (which I haven't looked at yet. This book is a good fit for beginners to more experienced sewers. ...

Bernard Cornwell

Harper, 2008

Cornwell is the best!
For those of you who have faithfully read the entire Sharpe series, and all the other series, you know full well that Bernard Cornwell is a master author who never fails to fully involve you in everything he writes. I've read other reviews about his books, and such carping, such trifling squabbles over insignificant details always amazes me. I have no trouble believing that any of those peole ...

The Pregnancy Journal: A Day-to-Day Guide to a Healthy and Happy Pregnancy

A. Christine Harris

Chronicle Books, 2005

Cannot say how much I love this book.
This is a wonderful book. You can read one entry a day at a time, according to your own progressing pregnancy. Of course, this should not be the only pregnancy book that you purchase. You will get more detailed and professional information from "What to Expect When You are Expecting". But pregnancy can be really stressful at times and you don't always want to be overwhelmed with all of the ...

Perfect bathroom book
I first heard about this book on [...] an episode of Internet Superstar , where one of the authors spoke about it with Martin Sargent. It sounded interesting, but not interesting enough to search it out. Recently, I was out with my wife Michele for dinner when I saw the book. It's a small book, suitable for reading on the toliet, so I picked it up. Once I got home, I went to the obvious ...

Good prices on a good set
Overall you can see and judge for yourself which of the stories work and which don't. In Queen of the Damned (which was a so-so movie by the way), the author moved away from the first person point-of-view (POV) which added a richness to the story to the omniscient POV. She recovers nicely in other stories! Overall a great series if you like vampires. Nice to get them all in one shot!! ...

Fun
We gave this to our daughter for her 9th birthday and the whole family has enjoyed it (grownups, 9, 7, 4 and baby!) We've enjoyed listening to birds we don't normally hear and matching birds to the sounds we hear all the time.
