Wizards RPG Team
Wizards of the Coast, 2008
Look at it as dnd and you won't be disappointed
Play the game before you review! Wow what a concept. I have now written reviews on all 3 books as well as the giftset that combines the books. I am not going to go over everything thats missing from the previous edition the negative reviews go over all of this stuff quite well. The Players Handbook and the new 4.0 are both good. Could they have been better? yeah, they could have added more ...

The Match: The Day the Game of Golf Changed Forever58 reviews
Mark Frost
Hyperion, 2007
A great read for golf history
This little book is packed with history of the game of golf. The Match was the perfect vehicle to present the six characters who make this event come to life. Thanks for introducing me to Harvie Ward. To anyone who plays, loves, and/or enjoys this game you must take the few hours it takes to read this compelling story.

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference 918 reviews
Malcolm Gladwell
Back Bay Books, 2002
"THINK OF THEM AS EPIDEMICS"
This book asserts that the best way to understand popularity and social behavior, such as the rise in popularity of a book, teen behaviors, or word of mouth phenomena, is to model them as epidemics. The author suggests that ideas, behaviors, and the popularity of products spread like viruses, and that changes often occur quickly and unexpectedly. Small changes often result in larger changes and ...

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go back Into The Dungeon
Keep on the Shadowfell is the introductory adventure for latest incarnation of the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game. Kill the TV, crash the computer, and lay seige to the kitchen table with a bunch of friends with this herald of the 4th edition of the now legendary D&D.
Newbies will like the get-down-to-the-action pace of the game while long-time players may find themselves a bit ...

The Dangerous Book for Boys622 reviews
Conn Iggulden, Hal Iggulden
Collins, 2007
The way things used to be
Many, many years ago boys were taught this kind of stuff by their father's and their father's fathers. Boys are no longer introduced to this kind of helpful information. This book is beyond a helpful guide to knot tying and history. It is a well rounded piece of literary art. I have never read a book that teaches one how to build a bow and arrow on one page and how to treat a woman ...

Dungeons and Dragons Core Rulebook Gift Set, 4th Edition44 reviews
Wizards RPG Team
Wizards of the Coast, 2008
Smudging ink is bad
First, a warning. I and a decent number of other folks seem to be having problems with the ink smudging on the books (for me its only happened on the PHB so far.) On my first read through of the book I had four instances where the ink smudged pretty badly. This is hardly an end of the world disaster, but it is dissapointing in a product I plan to use for 10 years or so.
On to the product. ...

Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide: Roleplaying Game Core Rules, 4th Edition20 reviews
Wizards RPG Team
Wizards of the Coast, 2008
The shortest book of the new edition...
The new dm guide has its pros and cons. It gives advice to dms on how to run a game and gives a town completely fleshed out and a short adventure to get a new dm started. It also gives a section on traps and hazards. This section and the one on experience rewards are really the only two that an experienced dm would need to run the new rules. However, that being said the book does what its ...

Wizards of the Coast, 2008
wow the haters are out in full
I've already reviewed the core rules book set and it recieved my and my players mark of approval. The game plays great. So now I've decided to look at each book individually and judge them. I was surprised to log onto amazon and see that this edition of the MM has garnered only a two star rating. The only reason i can see for this is the fact that so many people are rating the book badly because ...

Mark Bowden

The Best Game Ever
Mr. Bowden does an excellent job.. I was growing up in Baltimore at the time. He accurately captures things I remember, and gives enormous (and fun) incite into the rest of the story.

This Book Saved My Life
A few years ago I was the archetype of the lonely man. I came very very close to commiting suicide in fact, because I felt trapped in isolation. I wanted friends, and I wanted lovers but I had no idea how to get them.
This book quite literally saved my life, in my darkest hour this book introduced me to the concept that being SOCIAL, making friends and being liked was a skill. Until I read ...

Brand new.
Thanks for the book. I've searched book stores for a while and they never had it in stock. It was nice to find a new book still in it's package cheaper than any book store.

Watchmen431 reviews

DC Comics, 1995
Near Perfection
I finally bought Watchmen after hearing and reading about its greatness, and looking for something epic to fill the void I've seen in comics recently, I decided to give it a read.
Watchmen truly deserves its title as one of the greatest graphic novels/comics ever, although i do believe it is a TAD bit overrated. Granted, the character development is unmatched as well as the amount of detail ...

Lois Lowry
Laurel Leaf, 2002
Excellent Book
"The Giver" is a must-read book for both tweens and adults. Lois Lowry delivers a powerful message in a compelling story, which is written in a lively and lovely manner. My 12-year-old son loved it as much as I did. Ms. Lowry has made a note-worthy contribution to modern day literature. Read it! Have your kids read it!

Every Hand Revealed21 reviews
Gus Hansen
Citadel, 2008
The hard slog
When I got back into poker Hansen was the player that fascinated me the most from the TV pros because nothing he did seemed to make any sense. But it had to make sense because it obviously worked. To finally get a chance to get inside his head, hand by hand, is fascinating.
I couldn't recommend this book high enough. The most critical hands in poker are often the dullest. The hard slog. The ...

Perfect book for a 7 month old
I bought this book for my 7 month old grandson. He wants me to read it to him over and over. He works to turn the pages himself and studies the pictures intently. It is a good size for him to hold and sturdy enough to be handled by him. The illustrations are superior.
