Several important sub-themes run through this novel, including the theme of sexuality and paranoia expressed ...

Jack Finney

Lightyear Press, 1993

The 1980's altered text or the unaltered 1950's text?
Since these reviews are based on The Lightyear Press publication, I am assuming from the comments in this review that this is an updated revised version which would include the identical updated text also found in the Fireside published version - which was the softcover trade publication owned by Simon and Schuster. Why I am confused is that the photo of the book listed by [...] depicts the ...

Victor Gold

Sourcebooks, Inc., 2008

Extremism in the defense of anything is the ultimate vice
This is a magnificent mea culpa, an eloquent and gifted lament of the intemperance of modern politics offered by one of the prime architests of the idea that "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice." Gold deserves an 'Albert Speer Award' for his defense of the indefensible. As an articulate, perceptive, honest and candid writer, Gold worked for major politicians ranging from Barry ...

Invasion of the Boy Snatchers
Invasion of the Boy Snatchers is a realistic-fiction book written by Lisi Harrison. To me, it's just a book about the tiring, dramatic, ups and downs of a girl's life. I think all teens can relate. I enjoyed reading this book and think other girls would find it a page-turner as well. I liked the book Invasion of the Boy Snatchers because I can relate to the plot and it's exciting to hear about ...

Aladdin, 1996

Heck, I like this book.
This is the first wordless book I bought for my son, and I must say that I am struck by the beauty of the illustrations. They're almost too pretty for a pre-schooler . . . . Without words, the illustrations tell an engaging and suspenseful story about a woman, her strawberries and a dark creature in hot pursuit. Wordless books are nice to have in a household like mine where Mom and Dad speak ...

Frederick Drimmer

Carol Publishing Corporation, 1992

Has its moments.
Just finished reading this book this morning. It's a quick read. History of bodysnatching in Britain and the U.S., plus some miscellaneous dramatic stories about grave-robberies and embalmed freaks. History of Burke and Hare and story of Hottentot Venus are the standouts for me. Drimmer's writing is workmanlike, but that's OK -- it's the fruit of his research that interests, anyway. All the ...

Absolutely wonderful tome, really well-written!!!!!!
I finished this book in four days, and what a terrific journey the author takes us on. From the deserts of New Mexico, where he gets guidance from a 102-year-old Native American named Nino Cochise, to the Swamps of Florida, where he meets a most unusual evangelist and has encounters with things he cannot explain, to the wilds of Washington State, where he and his team experiment with a method ...

about the 1st review (tommys)
I dont know why you said "if you like the 1978 version of the film you'll love this book" when this book is the script for the 1956 version, directed by Don Siegal (who later directed "Dirty Harry"). By the way, the original 1950s version was only about 95% better than the re-make, which is why i had a problem with the comment. Thank You

Wonderful illustrations!!
The illustrations in this book are gorgeous and are a good reason to buy it for your dragon fans. In the story the boy rides his dragon to an evil castle where a wizard is hoarding and freezing dragon eggs of every variety. The boy helps save the dragon eggs while riding his own dragon. A nice fantasy story.

Travelman Publishing, 2000

Great Read
Stevenson manages to create in a short space a dark world in which characters do terrible things without being able to help themselves. Enjoy the story on a cold, rainy winter night.
