Sojourn: The Dark Elf Trilogy, Part 3 (Forgotten Realms: The Legend of Drizzt, Book III) 162 reviews
R.A. Salvatore
Wizards of the Coast, 2006
An excellent conclusion to the Dark Elf trilogy
Salvatore brings us once more into the world of Drizzt Do'Urden, one of the heroes of the Icewind Dale trilogy. This final installment brings us, more or less, to where the Icewind Dale trilogy picks up, and helps us to more clearly understand the trials that Drizzt has gone through, which have helped shape his character.
Drizzt has emerged from the Underdark, at last free from the evil ...

Very insightful, a quick read with lots of "real life" scenarios. I think all can benefit from reading this book in some way.

Artist's & Designer's Market
This book is quickly becoming a source of information that I frequent. It is much easier to quickly find information in a combined source than weeding through thousands of websites and "googled" information to find the contact information that is relevant for my endeavors.

I WANT THIS ELF ON MY SHELF ...
This is a fine book for children. It has everything ... fun, excitement, magic and a big dose of education ... education not crammed down a child's throat, but presented with help from the magical, lovable elves.
Children learn library etiquette from this book ... valuable knowledge when they're first learning to read that will make their library adventures much more enjoyable.

Homeland: The Dark Elf Trilogy, Part 1 (Forgotten Realms: The Legend of Drizzt, Book I) 195 reviews
R. A. Salvatore
Wizards of the Coast, 2005
Welcome to the Underdark and the realm of the drow...
Salvatore grabbed our attention with the Icewind Dale trilogy, and one of the heroes of that unlikely group of friends was Drizzt Do'Urden, a drow (or dark elf, as they are often called). To our delight, Salvatore's next project, dubbed the Dark Elf trilogy, served as a prequel, to tell us about Drizzt's past, and to introduce us to the world of the drow.
I cannot recall another author who so ...

The Soul's Code: In Search of Character and Calling48 reviews
James Hillman
Grand Central Publishing, 1997
Life-Changing Perspective
After reading Moore's "Care of the Soul," I decided to move on to his teacher, James Hillman. And I am glad I did.
This book gave me pause to conduct my own personal "archetypal autobiography," an exercise that has utterly transformed my life. Hillman's insights into the forces that move and motivate us have helped me as a man, as a father, and as a scholar.
I had my own copy bound in ...

Me Talk Pretty One Day727 reviews
David Sedaris
Little, Brown and Company, 2000
Laugh Out Loud Funny & Great Insight Into Life
This is the first Sedaris book I've read and I want to read all his others ASAP. I literally laughed out loud through many of the autobiographical essays. While reading at a hotel pool on vacation, I had to get up and move away from all the other people, so I wouldn't disturb them with my uncontrollable laughter. Sedaris' "worldview" is quirky but accurate. His life experiences are often ...

Happy to Be Me!: A Kid Book about Self-Esteem (Elf-Help Books for Kids)1 review
Christine Adams, Robert J. Butch
Abbey Press, 2001
Mom of three girls
I like the way this book is written. It explains things so clearly to children - Starting with "What is Self-esteem", "Be your own best self", "Your own best friend", "A friend to others", etc. It is written from a Godly point of view but not "preachy". It is a good one to read to your kids and discuss. The whole "Elf-help" book series is really good and so worth getting. My copy is ...

Schott's Original Miscellany34 reviews
Ben Schott
Bloomsbury USA, 2003
Things you thought you'd never know
This is one of the most unusual books I've ever seen. It contains a virtual treasure trove of miscellaneous information that is most cleverly organised and presented. A work that you will go back to again and again. No personal library should be without it.

Mad Isn't Bad: A Child's Book About Anger (Elf-Help Books for Kids)5 reviews
Michaelene Mundy
One Caring Place, 1999
The BEST for teaching young kids anger management skills
Anger that leads to aggressive behavior is one of the number one reasons that parents of young children seek counseling. Parents often feel at a loss as to how to teach their children skills for anger management, and kids don't know that there are choices about how to express this emotion without aggression. An excerpt from the note to parents in the beginning of the book states, "What a gift we ...

Micro-ISV: From Vision to Reality29 reviews
Bob Walsh
Apress, 2006
How-to for the small Independent Software Vendor
Many "how-to" business books pretend they are going to show you how to take your business from nothing to hundreds of millions in sales overnight.
"Micro-ISV" is refreshingly different.
First, it is written specifically for those who want to bring personal computer software to the market through their own small, independent company. Second, it is about small companies. There is little ...

The Elf Queen of Shannara (Heritage of Shannara, Book 3)52 reviews

Del Rey, 1993
Entertaining Book
This book deals mostly with Wren and Garth and their struggles to follow Allanon's commands and move the Elves back to the four lands.
At first I didn't think I would like this book as much as I did because they were the most uninteresting characters in the first two books. However, I thought this book was very enjoyable. This book is mostly non stop action/peril sequences and will not go ...

Tremendous Ease
I was originally looking for a book that was once introduced to me in the past about losing a loved one. Then it dawned on me, that specific book addressed "after" your loved one was gone. When to my surprise I cam across this book which was exactly what our family scenario needed. Great for young children to understand and even better for parents and loved ones try to find the right words and ...

A Very Enjoyable & Interesting Read
I am certainly not up to speed on particle physics but this book got my attention. This book gave me look inside the subject and did it with a twist that made it fun to read. I will leave the professionals to review the details but the novel grabbed me from the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the book. I have always been interested in science and science fiction. This book is ...

Earthpulse Press, 1995
Fascinating and frightening!
Man's desire to be god will eventually lead him to the unltimate self-destruction and the demolition of the planet he inhabits. "Angels don't play this HAARP" is a book that must be read by every citizen who cares about the condition of this planet. It will help the reader learn about man's manipulation of mother earth, and the possibility of rendering this gift into ruin....
