"Plum" seriew
I love the Stephanie Plum series of novels. I really hate reading so I purchase them both in audio for me and paperback for houseguests and friends. I'm drawn in with the excitment and adventure of the story that Janet seems to capture in every novel. It has twists, turns, Lula, mystery, wonder, and of course two very "HOT" men! Who wouldn't want a mix of both men. :} I would recommend the "Plum" ...

So, you think you know Discworld?
So, you think you know Terry Pratchett's Discworld, do you? Even if you have read and re-read Pratchett's thirty-plus Discworld novels (and companion books), Lawrence Watt-Evans's "The Turtle Moves: Discworld's Story Unauthorized" will still teach you a new thing or two, I suspect -- new insights into characters, new ways of looking at the novels. Watt-Evans, a noted science fiction/fantasy ...

Life or death information
This book was recommended to me by a friend. It took me a while to get the book...and a few months before I got to it. Once I started reading it, I was on fire...and telling anyone who would listen. Every human being should be able to read this book. Dr. Campbell lays out the research in understandable terms...and it is shocking to read. It proves to me that we must be in charge of our own ...

You Do Not Talk About Fight Club: I Am Jack's Completely Unauthorized Essay Collection (Smart Pop series)

Pervasive and multidisciplinary, this insightful exploration discusses how and why this seminal work developed, and continues to grow, such a cult following. When Fight Club punched its way onto the scene a decade ago, it provided an unprecedented glimpse into the American male’s psyche and rapidly turned into a euphemism for a variety of things that should be “just understood” and not otherwise acknowledged. Key to its ...

Benbella Books, 2008

A fun exploration of the different components of the Dark Knight
While Batman Unauthorized might not be the be all end all of serious literary criticism on Batman the way that, say, Geoff Klock's How To Read Superhero Comics and Why is for the superhero genre as a whole, it is still really fun, interesting read. The essays examine a variety of intepretations of the character on film, comics and television through the years. They manage to do a good job of ...

Like Watching an Itchy and Scratchy Episode
"The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people--that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature." -- James Thurber In the world of American television no other animated series, or any sitcom for that matter, has ...

Into the Dark Lands (The Sundered, Book 1)

Michelle Sagara West

Benbella Books, 2005

Excellent Book!
I thought that this was a great read, most definately on top of my list! And since I always prefer the dark type of the (anti) hero that Stefanos represents, this book totally "did it" for me! Reading the rest of the reviews, i can understand how some readers had difficulty with the first half. Although i would not call it confusing, the beginning did not have the "flow" that makes for an easy ...

House Unauthorized: Vasculitis, Clinic Duty, and Bad Bedside Manner (Smart Pop series)

2 reviews

Benbella Books, 2007

Interesting analysis of the show and characters.
House Unauthorized is broken down into four sections: essays about the show, essays about House as a character, essays about the psychology of House's character, and essays about the other characters. I found the essays in the first two sections a bit weaker than the others, although there were some gems. On the show as a whole, the argument about critical audiences and the rare moments House ...
