A Wide Range of Jewish and Polish Behaviors
It is a little-known fact that, during the first two or more years of the German occupation of Poland, Jews were treated better by the Germans than the Poles. Emmanuel Ringelblum alludes to this (March 25, 1940; pp. 24-25), when Poles felt safer masquerading as Jews! Also (August 6, 1940, p. 45): "True, they [Jews] were beaten; but Poles were shot. True, Jews are impressed into work; but Poles ...

Everyone should read this book!!
This is an easy to read book that has scientific research that convinced me that we all need vitamin D to prevent many of the health problems that are prevelant today. The author writes that vitamin D is best absorbed from natural sunlight and shows how this balances with the problem of too much sun which causes skin cancer. There is alot of skin cancer information in this book also. I highly ...

The Cosmic Soap Opera continues
I always liked the Zelazny Amber books, and I like Betancourt's books as well. One of the problems with the Zelazny books was that he failed to develop a couple of key characters. We saw plenty of Oberon in one of the Zelazny books without really finding out much about him. That's just one more reason that I enjoy the Betancourt books, where we find out quite a bit more about Oberon. I ...

Brilliant and scarey
This book is the original Neuromancer of biotech. The hard science concepts are now a little dated some 20 years on, but the story bites you hard from the beginning and doesn't let go until the final paragraph.

My Favorite Fantasy Story

A wonderfully eclectic volume of fantasy writing
I enjoyed last year's predecessor volume, My Favorite Science Fiction Story, but this volume is even better. The premise is that eighteen bestselling fantasy writers were asked to pick their all-time favorite fantasy story (by another writer). The result is a very eclectic assortment of tales. Most of these stories I had never seen before (even though I had read other stories by the same ...

Makes Batman come to life in a whole new way
This book is not a graphic novel that supplies illustration to the events that take place. Rather, this is a novel that provides insight into the thorough steps Batman takes to retain the title of "World's Greatest Detective." Written as case files, there is a detailed explanation as to how Batman gathers evidence and draws conclusion. Using the latest methods of criminologists and ...

Worth the Trouble
After reading Book 2, I was not looking forward to finishing this trilogy. There are numberous flaws that are readily writen about in that book's review. However, I'm glad I got to Book 3. As an long time comic reader, I enjoy the novelization of these heros, but only if they're taken seriously. The author met that criteria in this book. Those of us that know the Green Lantern stories from the ...
Roger Zelazny's The Dawn of Amber (The New Amber Trilogy, Book 1)
50 reviews
John Gregory Betancourt
IBooks, Inc., 2007
Not up to Zelazny's standards, but still a good story
The first five-book "Amber" storyline remains my favorite story of all time. This first of three books by J.G. Betancourt attempts to serve as a prequel to the adventures of Corwin, by "introducing" readers to Oberon, Dworkin and the creation of the kingdom of Amber. The writing isn't quite up to Roger Zelazny's standards, but if that standard was easy to reach, Zelazny's work wouldn't really be ...

One Of The Neatest And Most Imaginative Book Concepts In...Forever!
Hats off to John T. Cullen. The man came up with the brilliant idea of thoroughly researching the geography, culture, daily life, rules, laws, customs, sights, smells, sounds, textures, even, of ancient Rome, circa 150 AD, and then broke it down into session-sized chapters that let us take a highly well-imagined walking tour of the eternal city as it was in that time and place. It's true, as ...

quirky
This guy is one of the best Science Fiction fantasy writers ever. (he wrote the Amber series -- about 9 brothers and sisters who hate, love, ally with and betray each other for supreme mastery of a multi-universe) In this book this is a collection of his short stories. It's really quirky you never know what's going to happen next.

Fans of GRRM need not apply
My reason for writing this review is the others have missed the mark by a mile. They are all fans of George R.R. Martain's other more fantasy oriented work. This series is wildly removed from them. Of the entire line the 1st three are the absolute best. Only the 3rd book is realy one compleat story. The 1st 2 books are a collection of short stories. This simple fact seems to have escaped all the ...
Past Poisons: An Ellis Peters Memorial Anthology of Historic Crime
1 review
IBooks, Inc., 2005
Unimpressive
The name Ellis Peters in the title of the book was clearly meant to lure readers. None of the writers are up to her standards. There is no shame in not being a master but it left me feeling a little cheated. There were a couple of stories that I kinda liked but the rest were forgettable except two were downright yucky. And the tributes to Ellis Peters written by each and every author were so ...

Walter Cunningham
IBooks, Inc., 2008
Outstanding!
This guy is one opinionated s.o.b. - but this book is all the better for it. Because Walt Cunningham is aware of his limitations, and has the virtue of being right in his strongly-held opinions. I'd recommend this book even for those not interested in space flight. To see the cut-throat office politics behind a smooth veneer... it's something that relates so much to many walks of life. The ...

Arthur C. Clarke
IBooks, Inc., 2005
Technically Clarke's first novel?
As I understand it, Clarke started plotting this novel out early in WW2 before he volunteered for the RAF. This would then technically make it his earliest novel- even though it didn't get published until 1953 by the legendary Gnome Press (first of the dedicated science fiction publishing houses.) Clarke would later feel compelled to extensively rewrite this novel and release it under a ...
