Green Lantern: The Sinestro Corps War, Vol. 1 21 reviews
Geoff Johns, Dave Gibbons, ...
DC Comics, 2008
Buckle up, it's a great ride.
Geoff Johns and the DC team have done it again. I'm a Green Lantern fan from the 60's, so I know Hal Jordan well. It is great to see him and the other Green Lanterns fighting Sinestro, the baddest of the bad and his own corps. I agree with a previous reviewer that the story is so deep and some pages are so richly done that I had to stop and check Wikipedia or one of the GL web sites to get more ...

The Ultimate Christmas Fake Book: for Piano, Vocal, Guitar, Electronic Keyboard and All C Instruments (Fake ... 21 reviews
Hal Leonard Corporation, 1992
Excellent Fake Book
What a wonderful book. I record an annual holiday album for friends and family and I will be able to get years out of this book. Endless variety of music to choose from. Several oddities. Only complaint is the song Sleighbells is included, however, there is the one and only Christmas Shoes. Spiral binding for easy flip through. Also sits nicely on piano stand. Highly recommend it for lazy ...

Galactic Corps: Book Two of the Inheritance Trilogy (The Inheritance Trilogy) 3 reviews
Ian Douglas
Eos, 2008
In which our heroes go to the center of the galaxy, see new and interesting enemies, and blow things up
This series is, by the way, the second-best thing to come out of Ancient Astronauts (the first being the Stargate series).
Galactic Corps is the second novel of the Inheritance trilogy, featuring the continued struggle of humanity, spearheaded by the Marine Corps, against the Xul, incredibly ancient aliens that slaughter any emerging sentients to avoid competition. This trilogy follows the ...

Squirms, Screams and Squirts: Going from Great Sex to Extraordinary Sex10 reviews
PhD Robert J Rubel
Nazca Plains Corp, 2007
No big deal
I have to admit I was somewhat disappointed in this and very pleased at the same time. When it arrived, with other books I should mention, my wife took the tried and true stance, similar to the past 20 years, of "not again". She did not want to even look at the books. However, this book is designed on how to please the woman only and directed entirely to her pleasure. Which I must say is 99% of ...

Another great tale!
W.E.B. Griffin continues his great traditional of military storytelling. This is another fine example of his ability to weave a compelling story around a little know aspect of WWII. His characters and writing style always leaves me waiting for the next novel.

One Bullet Away: The Making of a Marine Officer156 reviews
Nathaniel C. Fick
Mariner Books, 2006
Outstanding read for warriors and civilians alike
In a time when many people already consider the war in Iraq pure hubris and stretching of muscles by a superpower gone mad, it is refreshing indeed to read true, honest stories from the men who fought the war.
The good intentions, the fears, the disappointments and triumphs all paint a picture that is very different from the cynical jeering presented to us from almost all media outlets.

The U.S. Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual21 reviews
University of Chicago Press, 2007
Had a shipping problem, but Amazon fixed it!
This review is more about the product return service than the book itself, though it is excellent. The book was first shipped to me damaged, but amazon had a very easy to use and straightforward return policy, and they replaced the book with no charge. Other than the wait, there was very little inconvenence. Well done Amazon.

Exceptional Account of the Pacific Theatre During WWII
This is one of the most intimate and exceptionally written books about combat I have every read.

When I start to feel a little overwhelmed with life stress, I immediately start to listen to this CD (or another on of Kelly's CD's) before bedtime each night. Not only do I fall into a peaceful sleep, but i wake up feeling ready to take on the world.
For those of you who said you had experienced bad dreams or unpleasant feeling while listening, I have had occasions where this came up a ...

24 Italian Songs and Arias - Medium High Voice (Book/CD): Medium High Voice - Book/CD14 reviews
G. Schirmer, Inc., 1992
From a NATS voice teacher
I have taught voice for almost 30 years. Yes, I purchased the newer versions of the "classic" Italian songs, and use the intro materials and some of the ornamentation, but the piano accompaniments in the Schirmer are much more musical, and this is still my favorite version of any of the anthologies of Italian songs.

Recorder Fun! Teach Yourself the Easy Way!7 reviews
Hal Leonard Corporation, 1996
Great for a newbe with no previous musical education
This book quickly gets the reader to play simple but imprssive enough music to get this person confident in one's abilities and interested enough to continue.
It also does a good job in easing a beginner into reading basic musical notation by starting with a more simply and intuitive version of it.
My only complaint is that the difficulty of the exersize passages picks up very sharply about ...
