Interesting
This was a fairly good book, revealing much about Sasha's origins and Tigerstar's time in ShadowClan. Sasha is much more meek than how she is portrayed in the TNP series, and her feelings for Tigerstar and her reasonings for wanting to be with him are explained. The story is told from her vantage point, up to the end where we are left waiting for the next book. It is admittedly overshadowed ...

A terrific update/remake
When Hunter: The Reckoning came out, I was overjoyed. As a Storyteller, I enjoy telling stories from the human's perspective more. I find their struggle against the odds more in line with my skills and intents for telling stories. What I got was a good book, but it kind of took the focus in a more action-oriented, "blockbuster" arena. I still used it, but I thought for all the cool skills and ...

I read this first in college, and then again recently. It's still just as funny and wonderful as ever.

Woe unto he who crosses Bob Lee Swagger, especially when his daughter's life is at stake.

Amazing...
This book is officially my favorite Warrior Cats book now. It's a far cry from the other PO3 books, as there is more action, the three begin to do more with their powers, and more is revealed than ever before. This series is obviously the most mysterious of all the three series, and this book both unlocks and spins mysteries right and left. A new character is introduced, Sol, the mysterious ...

As captivating as the author herself
Meeting Sherrilyn Kenyon was a delight. She was all smiles and bubbly, even for us brave few who waited four hours to have our books signed. This book is a wonderful reflection of her creativity, her passion, and her sense of humor. Finally, a reference book about the Dark Hunters! lol I plan to use the map in the book to visit the New Orleans locations she has pointed out in many of her books. ...

An unexpected surprise
I suffered through the six prequels, each time wondering why in the world I keep subjecting myself to such utter crap. I guess I was thinking even badly written Dune is better than no Dune. I had vowed never to throw more of my hard earned money at these two clowns after Battle of Corrin. But, alas, I saw Hunters in the used books bin at the local library for 50 cents, and in a moment of ...

A Book for All Ages
This is a great story for people of all ages. As a teenager, I felt at one with the antagonist of the story. As an adult I see her transition more clearly than before. It is also a reminder of the power of the emotions of adolescence and those first real learning experiences, something I hope I will never forget.

Hells Angels: a hard to find modern classic.
A very high quality production run, hard-bound with illustrated dust jacket etc. of a very hard to find modern classic. Read Thompson as he was before he became a cartoon character like caricature. Succinct and insightful with the acerbic wit front and centre where it belongs. A cracking good read ! Excellent value too in this Modern Libraries edition. Why pay all-kinds of stoopid money on E-bay ...

Small Town Thriller
Hunter Morgan never fails to bring realistic romance and chilling suspense to a small town setting. I read this book in one sitting and loved it. Casey is a tough but vulnerable heroine, and I loved the relationship between her and a much-loved but failing father. This is a great vacation read, whether the reader escapes to the beach or just to a bubble bath. Great book! Worth every penny.

Preserved for History
I read this book as a child and it was fascinating reading. Some of what is described is still current (Pasteur's rabies vaccine) while some treatments are long out of use (Ehrlich's "magic bullet" for syphillis was actually derived from arsenic and had a fair amount of side effects-an accurate cure would not be developed until the discovery of Penicillin). Also some of the attitudes taken by the ...

My husband is scared. I have turned into a fruit monster. Purchasing this book after reading the NY Times review, my husband lovingly gave me this book thinking only of my newfound passion for gardening and my ever enduring foodie love. He had no idea he would create a fruit monster! (RAWR!!!) After reading The Fruit Hunters, I have now become born again to the magic of fruits. Because ...

I'm Fearful After Reading This...
This book's setting is eerily similar to the current state of affairs going on in with the 2008 Presidential Election, with the Democrats picking themselves apart while the Republicans sit back and enjoy the show. Richard Nixon is shown as the abomination that he was and HST's writing is as animated and humorous as I have ever seen it. This book surpassed my expectations and was a surprisingly ...

A Romance with Substance
I LOVE Sherrilyn Kenyon. This girl can write a romance! And not just a romance...there is such a great story behind it. A plot, a world, a reason...emotion. The hero, Julian, is.... so unspeakably erotic that he has totally taken my innocence, haha, and yet he is terribly deep. What he has gone throgh...makes me want to clutch him to my bosom and tell him it will all be OK. Kenyon knows how to ...

A must have for any fan of the show...
If you're a fan of the show Ghost Hunters or just into the paranormal, you'll love this book. These guys take a totally practical and trustworthy stance on hauntings and the paranormal- trying to disprove it all... and catching some crazy awesome evidence and experiences in the mean time. I found reading the backstory of how TAPS came to be founded super interesting and brought up a lot of things ...
