Twisters and Other Terrible Storms (Magic Tree House)

3 reviews
Will Osborne, Mary Pope Osborne

Random House, 2003

Twisters
Twisters are tornadoes. I learned about them in the book Twisters by Will Osborne. Twisters wreak everything. Twisters can destroy homes because the winds go 300 miles per hour. They hit in the midwestern U.S. in April, May and June. I feel excited about this book because it's good to know about natural disasters so if it happens you'll be prepared.

Love Is Like A Hurricane Volume 4 (Yaoi) (Love Is Like a Hurricane)
Tokiya Shimazaki

801 Media, Inc., 2008

Mizuki really wasn't expecting the cool and reserved class representative, Azuma, to suddenly declare his love for him. But now they're an official couple, openly recognized even by all the other students of the all-boys school. Various things get in their way, but their love is strong - as strong as a hurricane!

Judith Kolberg

Squall Press, 2005

A Book Everyone Can Use
All of us, no matter where we live in the US or Canada, are vulnerable to some type of natural disaster - hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, floods, mudslides, tornadoes, blizzards, etc. - as well as the possibility of terrorist attacks. And now we also have to worry about the possibility of the avian flu. In her introduction, Ms. Kolberg presents research that indicates a very large gap ...

The Great Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast

Douglas Brinkley

Harper Perennial, 2007

After the Deluge, Shame on America
Although some reviewers fault the author's apparent liberal political leanings, they should save their ire for the absolutely incomprehensible incompetence of FEMA, the government of Louisiana, and the city of New Orleans. Although one can easily fault the victims for staying behind when there was a clear hurricane danger approaching, the lack of help offered following the hurricane was ...

The Tin Roof Blowdown: A Dave Robicheaux Novel (Dave Robicheaux Mysteries)

James Lee Burke

Simon & Schuster, 2007

Marlowe of the Bayou
I was attracted to this book, my first Dave Robicheaux novel, by the promise of its unsparing examination of Katrina and its aftermath and by the two Edgar Awards the series has collected. The book keeps the promise. James Lee Burke is the Raymond Chandler of the South and Robicheaux is his Marlowe, half a century later and indigenous to a different classic American city. Like Marlowe, ...

Storm Chaser: A Photographer's Journey

7 reviews

Abrams Books, 2007

Great book, wonderful pictures
The title "Storm Chaser" might lead one to believe this is a book about tornado chasing. It is but it's a whole lot more! Photographer Jim Reed takes his readers on a journey of land, sea, and sky covering the four seasons. Along the way we learn how Reed, once an eight year old boy, quickly became hooked on weather and began keeping a diary of events. As an adult he's traveled across North ...

Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History

Erik Larson

Vintage, 2000

Amazing book; see the History Channel Documentary too!
Okay, when I first bought this book, I began reading it and was disinterested, as was my mother, by the meteorological information. We'd both been reading historical nonfiction recently and were turned away by impersonal accounts and/or jargon we didn't understand. Truth be told, we didn't bother to pass the first chapter. I am SO GLAD I gave it another chance!!! I saw the documentary ...

The Magic School Bus Inside A Hurricane (Magic School Bus)

5 reviews
Joanna Cole

Scholastic Press, 1996

Aw, heck. What's not to like?
For those familiar with the "Magic Schoolbus" series, Mrs. Frizzle's adventures with her class all have a similar plotline. Mrs. Frizzle explains some scientific topic, whether it's the solar system, the dinosaurs, etc. and then lures her children onto her special schoolbus for an adventure. During the adventure the only child that is regularly singled out as the perpetual schlamatzel is ...

Hiaasen's Best
This is Hiaasen at his best. Couldn't stop reading it until I had finished the novel, chuckling all the way.

Simon & Schuster, 2007

Living in hell after Katrina
There are times when I sit and wonder, Am I crazy? Am I crazy?, especially when I look at the state of modern America these days. Back in 2005 I watched with the rest of us the terrible storm that swept over New Orleans, and the knowledge that something truly awful was going to happen. With it came the knowledge that there was going to be damn little that any of us could do about it either. ...

Love Is Like A Hurricane Volume 1 (Yaoi) (Love Is Like a Hurricane)

5 reviews
Tokiya Shimazaki

801 Media, Inc., 2007

Sooooooooo Cute!!
I liked this manga a lot. Out of the 4 couples I rather liked the 1st one with Mizuki and Azuma. Azuma is confident that he can win Mizuki over and Mizuki is hilarious when he tries to push Azuma away but he still ends up with Amuza in the end. Also the other couples in the story are also really good reads. The artwork is very good and the scenes are explicit.

801 Media, Inc., 2007

Great continuation!!!
In Love is a Hurricane 3 there are several stories in this volume involving Mizuki and Azuma. One about an aphrodisiac candy, and the second story is about the after effects. The second story maybe a little unsettling but it turned out okay. The forth story is the best, starts off with Mizuki asking Azuma to help him study but turns out they study something of a different kind. Mizuki was so ...

Novel of the 1900 Galveston Storm puts you in the middle of the story
After enjoying the author's first novel, The Truth About Sparrows, I wasn't sure I wanted to read yet another book about the great Galveston storm of 1900. I've visited Galveston often and heard the stories all my life, so I wondered whether this novel could offer anything fresh. But within a few pages of Dark Water Rising, I was hooked and finished the novel in one sitting. ...

Harper, 2008

Catch the wave
If you're a reader of any series of books -- Hiaasen's Florida craziness stories for example -- you know that they're all good but like ocean waves some are "in the trough" and some are at the "crest of the wave" and some are in between. For instance Hammerhead Ranch started out right on the crest. Orange Crush was good, but for me more in the trough. As for Hurricane Punch, it's right back on ...

Even Better the Second Time Around
I'm willing to bet that every fan of lesbian fiction has at least heard of this classic series by Melissa good. With that said, I won't go into detail about the characters or the story. What I will say is this series deserves its place among the best in lesbian literature and should be enjoyed by everyone. I recently read this series for the second time. Although I first read it several years ...

Love Is Like A Hurricane Volume 2 (Yaoi) (Love Is Like a Hurricane)

1 review
Tokiya Shimazaki

801 Media, Inc., 2007

The boys' delightful romp continues.
This yaoi is really cute and of course explicit. I just love all those vivid facial expressions. Azuma and Mizuki continue their delightful romp in Vol 2. Told from Mizuki's viewpoint, their stories are entertaining, playful, with lots of sex of course. Akira and Izumi join in with their own story which reminds me of Ougi's "Brother" but a ligher and cuter version. The plot is not deep but the ...

The Great New Orleans Gun Grab

Louisiana Publishing, 2007

Must Reading For Gun Owners!
The banditry after Hurricane Katrina is well known as is the incompetance of most of the local officials. This book details several first person accounts of illegal gun confiscations from ordinary citizens who were trying to protect themselves from the thugs. I would encourage any lawful gun owner to read this book.

I Love Eyewitness Books! I want them in Spanish too!
This is a great addition to the Eyewitness Series. Kids will go nuts over all the information on tornados and hurricanes. It's right up disaster alley.

Robert Polidori: After the Flood

Robert Polidori

Steidl, 2006

Photography as a "process of revelation"
"After the Flood", the latest book by French Canadian Photographer, Robert Polidori, about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina is also his largest and most powerful. It is as if his books on Havana and Chernobyl were mere foretastes to this exceptional and moving work, and certainly anyone who has seen these two books came away with a feeling of the power and storytelling that Polidori's images ...

Jonathon King

Dutton Adult, 2007

Max Freeman Meets The "Perfect Storm"
Jonathon King continues his fine work with his Max Freeman character in "Acts of Nature". Max Freeman, ex-cop and current PI, has developed into an exciting, must read addition to the South Florida subgenre. King is a master at using the written word to paint visual images of the everglades and the people who live in them but in "Acts of Nature" his extraordinary description of a massive ...
