Rise of the Evening Star (Fablehaven)

7 reviews
Brandon Mull

Aladdin, 2008

Even better than the first book!
This second book in Brandon Mull's wonderfully imaginative Fablehaven series is even better, and more complex, than the first one. Sister and brother Kendra, 14, and Seth, 12, who are being pursued by the evil Society of the Evening Star, return to their grandparents' sanctuary for mythical and magical creatures. Kendra has magical abilities as a result of having been kissed by fairies that make ...

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers

Martin Evening

Adobe Press, 2008

Excellent guide to LR2
Evening's guide to LR2 is an excellent piece of work. It is well written and illustrated, clearly organized, comprehensive, and accessible to a wide range of readers. It will be valuable for all levels of LR users. There are two aspects of Evening's book that I particularly like. First, he puts LR2 in a richer photographic context by including useful short discussions of topics like color ...

Shadow Mountain, 2007

If you like Harry you must read Fablehaven- Book 2 is just as good or better then 1
In book two, you don't have the slow beginning, the hill to the top of this roller coaster is short, but just as fast and full of thrills. I could not put this one down. Twists and turns were hinted at but it made you wonder right along side of Kendra and Seth. Descriptions were detailed enough to fire the imagination, but not so long that you wanted to skip 3 paragraphs. Your could feel the ...

Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West

Cormac McCarthy

Vintage, 1992

A very good, dark read...
I read this in 2001, at the suggestion of a good friend, and completely enjoyed the book. It's pretty dark, but is a compelling tale of a man's journey in the old west. I especially enjoyed the sinister character that keeps re-appearing and could be more than just a man.. seems like the same character turns up in lots of Cormac McCarthy's books. Overall, I would recommend this book

Martin Evening

Focal Press, 2007

Amazing PhotoShop Resource
This is a very comprehensive, easy to follow Photoshop CS3 resource. Being a photographer, I especially like that it focuses (excuse the pun) on those features of CS3 that pertain to photography. The accompanying DVD is a plus that includes video tutorials, source photos for the examples as well as valuable chapters and charts from previous versions of the book that were too big to include in ...

The Darkest Evening of the Year

Dean Koontz

Bantam, 2008

There Ought to be a Law
There should be a warning stamped on Dean Koontz's books: "Don't start reading if you have some important unfinished tasks." Perhaps the newly-elected Congress will pass such a measure. I have read at least five of his novels and have quickly become interested in the stories, putting the books down only with reluctance before reaching the final page. The only complaint I've had is that he ...

Jeffrey, M.D. Brantley, Wendy-O Matik

New Harbinger Publications, 2006

Use it!
I picked up this book thinking, "Ahhh, a small, fluffy, 'try this or try that' collection of tips in a book form. How.... splendid." I am always glad when I find out how wrong I was about a really valuable resource such as this one! The book is broken into sections - an introduction which explains the premise of the book, the foundation - incredibly valuable section, and then four sections ...

Robert Frost Stopping by a Wood on a Snowy Evening
Had seen and read this book while visiting in a third grade classroom. The poem, of course, was familiar but the illustration of this particular book were wonderful. Bought the book for my husband for Valentine's day and he is a fond of it as I am. We're looking forward to reading it to our youngest grandchild.

James R. Gaines

Harper Perennial, 2006

read this asap
i have read numerous books on j. s. bach and own all the standard biographies yet i was beguiled with this book as the author is supremely adept at placing the information in the right perspective and is such a good writer that you cannot put it down. i read it through in almost one sitting. i have since recommended to other professional musicians that are colleagues of mine and they love it as ...

A Grateful Heart: Daily Blessings for the Evening Meal from Buddha to the Beatles

10 reviews

Conari Press, 2002

Perfect.
This was exactly what I was looking for... I am a devout agnostic, part-time Unitarian, with a young son in whom I wish to instill a sense of spirituality, even religiosity. One way I wanted try to do this was by starting a tradition of prayer at meal-times with him. Having no real experience in this activity, I ordered this book... Organized by season, the prayers evoke an appropriate ...

Blood Meridian: Or, the Evening Redness in the West (Picador Books)

Cormac McCarthy

Picador, 1994

A Cormac McCarthy vocabulary quiz
As I read Blood Meridian, I jotted down words that were either unusual or new to me or familiar yet not quite recognizable. This is the case with every McCarthy book one reads - astonishment at the writer's extensive vocabulary. I've deliberately left out most of the directly Spanish terms or Mexican off-shoots. So, anyway, here is one list of words you need to know in order to read Blood ...

Evening Is the Whole Day: A Novel

16 reviews
Preeta Samarasan

Houghton Mifflin, 2008

`Even noon is evening to she who waits..'
This is a hauntingly beautiful novel. Simultaneously filled with hope and despair, Ms Samarasan gives us characters who are never just stereotypes (although sometimes the accurate depiction of certain characteristics comes dangerously close to a stereotypical presentation). No, what Ms Samarasan has delivered is a novel peopled with individuals who are generally disappointed in the past and ...

Morning and Evening: Based on the New International Version

C. H. Spurgeon

Hendrickson Publishers, 1995

A classic made accessible...
Charles Spurgeon is one of those brilliant Christian writers who I've just discovered as a new convert, but others have treasured for years. After my pastor quoted him for the third time in a homily, I decided I needed to learn more. And then I received this wonderful devotional for Christmas--perfect timing! This is an version of Spurgeon's classic daily devotional, which has been updated using ...

Morning and Evening: A New Edition of the Classic Devotional Based on The Holy Bible, English Standard Version

19 reviews
Charles H. Spurgeon

Crossway Books, 2003

Morning & Evening by Charles Spurgeon
This is an excellent devotional book, a single page for morning and a single page for evening each day. It draws the reader into a deeper appreciation of Christ and what we have in Him. Often the entries are convicting, but only in a way that tends to lead toward greater -- and happier -- submission to the Lord. Reflections on short Scriptural excerpts are deep and insightful. I've been using ...
