Winston of Winnacle Farm
I bought this for my young son who's 9. He loves the idea of a fat puppy dog being fed sausages and chasing robbers. So much so that he now wants a dog called Winston of course. Are there any more installments of this book as I am running out of excuses.

Juan Jacobo Doger

Athena Pr Pub Co, 2000

Five people are trapped in a lift, suspended for several hours. Extreme situations and reactions are only to be expected. But Los Cinco Nudos takes us one step further: these individuals - so different on the surface - share and provoke reactions between them that turn the slightest concern into a problem of nightmare proportions, uniting them through the experience of buried memories and frustrated desires.

Thomas F. Coon

Athena Pr Pub Co, 2001

Yak Pizza Inspires Haikus
I've just finished Yak Pizza--and how much I was transported from Fort Smith, AR to places I've only dreamed or heard of. Each day I looked forward to that time after dinner when I could grab Yak Pizza, get off by myself, and take trip after trip. Phil Karber did a remarkable job here, finding the right distance from his subject matter--at times letting places and experiences speak for ...

Heartwrenching sincerity
The author truly gives all of herself with her words. These poems hold nothing back, and the raw --dare I say, brutal-- emotion of her poetry is moving. I celebrate her courage to say the things that she has said in this book... it takes a truly brave individual to let a world see your soul. Moving. Heartwrenching. Brilliant.

Love in the Time of War
Love in the Time of War,by Harriette S. Sherman, is a beautiful and inspiring book. I found myself laughing and crying as I identified with her through the trials of the war-time separation from her newly-wed husband. The letters and narratives evoke the rhythm of the war both at home and overseas in remarkably vivid language. I want to thank the author for the gift of her courage and generous ...

Ordinary People; Extraordinary Acts
This is a nice little book, which might be read at one sitting. It is the story of two people who came from ordinary, even deprived, beginnings. They were ordinary people who were called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice-and did so as a natural act. Since the fiftieth anniversary of the Normandy Invasion, much has been made of "the greatest generation" who fought in World War II. Not very ...

One Joy = Two Sorrows

Athena Pr Pub Co, 2002

I had a hard time putting it down!
It was a really busy week, but I still found myself picking up this book three or four times a day until I finished it! The words/dialogue given to the characters sounded unrealistic, but it was consistently so, so perhaps it was an artistic choice. It's certainly forgiveable, either way. The characters are strong and likeable, even when there's nothing to like about them. In the end, some of the ...

Like Dr. Suess, A Can't Miss Choice for Young Readers
Setting aside for a moment the fact that all proceeds from the sale of this book benefit children's charities, this group of stories in a rhyme and cadence reminiscent of Dr. Suess was a joy to read to my child and loved by her after the first reading. The stories are funny, educational and imaginative. The illustrations are delightful. The fact that the author is using this book and its sales ...
