Review for Ed Cainýs 13 Stories
Wow! I just finished reading this book and I'm still trying to digest it. Where has this guy been? As an avid fan of horror who had grown Oh so tired of vampires or horror disguising itself as romance, I've finally found a writer who writes horror without trying to be PC. Cain's stories don't hold back. They are rude at times, violent, he never backs off. Though I wish some of the stories had ...

Scholastic Paperbacks (T), 1975

A visual treat of the highest quality for kids of all ages.
This picture book may be the cleverest ever created. "Thirteen" is 13 stories told simultaneously on 13 pages, each story told by pictures which change and evolve as you turn the pages. Many of the stories are circular or contain hidden surprises. This is the book that I have given most often as a gift, not only to kids but also adults, who may enjoy it even more than kids!

Banvard's Folly: Thirteen Tales of People Who Didn't Change the World

Paul S. Collins

Picador, 2002

A Sypathetic Retelling of Tales of Failure
"Banvard's Folly" is a wonderful book, thanks to the talents of author Paul Collins. As you have probably gathered by now from other write-ups, this book tells the story of 13 people, once prominent, and now largely forgotten. They each earned inclusion in this book because of a grand failure of some sort. In other hands, this material could have been a tool for ridicule; but Collins strikes just ...

Agatha Christie

HarperCollins Audio, 2002

Must read for all Miss Marple fans
This 1932 collection was also published as THE TUESDAY CLUB MURDERS. Many of the stories have also appeared separately in other collections. Like THE LABORS OF HERCULES and PARTNERS IN CRIME it is a series of short stories bridged together in an arc. The opening setting is a gathering in St. Mary Mead at Jane Marple's cottage, attended by her nephew writer Raymond West, artist Joyce ...

Silence of the Loons: Thirteen Tales of Mystery by Minnesota's Premier Crime Writers

7 reviews
Minnesota Crime Wave

Nodin Press, 2005

Loons and nothing but Loons
While writers of the southwest in particular write of the broiling heat of summer, writers of a Minnesota background seem to write about the brutal cold of the winter. That brutal cold of the winter is certainly a factor in a number of stories here but not in all of them. The stories do share a number of clues that had to be encompassed in each story. I'm not going to ruin the clue list by ...

Jesus Sinned?
I first off have to confess that even though I've had Dr. Vasseur as a professor, I haven't read all the stories in this collection. Perhaps that makes me unqualified to write this review, but I can say with conviction that the picture he paints of Larry Holman in 'The Sins of Jesus' is so Christ-like as to be worthy of being set right beside Jesus' own passion as narrated in the Gospel ...

The Thirteen Clocks

James Thurber

New Millennium Audio, 2002

Watch Out For the Todal, by Rory Haglund
Watch out for the Todal James Thurber's The Thirteen Clocks is a delightful tale for people of all ages. I was first introduced to this seemingly conventional story at age five when my father read it to me as a pleasant bedtime story. It was not until I could read for myself that I began to notice what sets this story apart from so many other children's stories--its characters and great ...

Joy Hakim

Oxford University Press, 1996

The English establish thirteen colonies in the New World
"Making Thirteen Colonies: 1600-1740" is the second volume in Joy Hakim's "A History of US." The first volume covered how the first Americans crossed over from Asia to become Indians and the first Europeans, mainly the Spanish but also the French and English, began settling the New World. This volume focuses on the narrow string of settlements established by the English that became the thirteen ...

Mary-Lou Zeitoun

Porcupine's Quill, 2002

Deal With It!
After reading 13 I'm thinking vitriolic lead character Marnie would have eaten Holden Caulfield for breakfast. Zeitoun delivers a funny, acerbic account of a girl dealing with the burden of teenhood. Zeitoun's brutal honesty captures all the awkwardness and pain of adolescence, and her style and scathing sense of humour put it all into perspective. Zeitoun is truly a vibrant, exciting new voice.

Thirteen: The Apollo Flight That Failed

6 reviews
Henry S. F. Cooper, 2008

The definitive account of the Apollo 13 mission
A short anecdote: After reading "A Man on the Moon" by the great A. Chaikin (space author, god-like genius) I developed a ravenous hunger for any reading material relating to the early space program (and Apollo in general). So when I saw this old book, "13: the flight that failed", in my school's library, I HAD to read it! I was not disappointed. Mr. Cooper's book is THE story of Apollo ...

Thirteen
I first got this book when I was 11 years old at a school book fair. I am now almost twenty and it is still my favorite book, along with Pride and Prejudice, because both books' heroines are so easy to relate to. I have read Thirteen so many times that my copy is about to fall apart. The story is hilarious, and at times painfully real. The main character, Kobie, is exactly the way I was in ...

Kathryn Tucker Windham, Margaret Gillis Figh

Strode Pub, 1969

Kathryn Tucker Wyndham - A State Treasure
From time to time, someone appears in our lives who holds a special place in the culture of Alabama. Those of my generation have been blessed to have Kathryn Tucker Wyndham, a great Lady of the first order, and a true state treasure. It is perhaps fitting that one finds it near impossible to place Mrs. Wyndham in a niche. She is a historian, to be sure, but she is more than that, as is ...

Time for Tea: Tea and Conversation with Thirteen English Women

Michele Rivers

Crown, 1995

Totally Charming Book
You'll love this book if you like England or tea. The writer is an unusally skilled interviewer and her subjects reveal more than you would ever expect from an English woman. They don't always say the expected thing! The photography and presentation are excellent. Recipes are included. This is a lovely gift for someone else or for yourself. It's a charmer.

Gael Force Thirteen: The True Story of an American Community Hospital and Its Physicians Who Murder for Money

John A. Dwyer

AuthorHouse, 2001

The Irish Really Do Have the Gift
A wonderful collection of stories from the fertile mind of Irishman Dwyer (even though he reveals that, when beach-bathing, we Americans do not all look like Baywatch blondes, as he had anticipated). Tom the Tinker was truly inspirational, and his other stories made the Irish in my own blood dance with delight.

Robert P. Johnson

Capra Press, 2000

A must read!
This is one of my favorite books! I have started re-reading it about once a year now. [up to this point the only other book i have ever bothered to reread was Catch 22] This is one of those books that you will end up buying copies of in multiples!. This is because you will find yourself loaning your copy to a friend and never getting it back again. [i have personally gone through 4 copies this ...

Nigel Cameron

Oxford University Press, USA, 1990

History repeats itself ?.Recommended for the next barbarians
Through the accounts of representative Western travelers -over thirteen centuries- in China, the author provides a historical thread of encounters between West and East, starting with the christians-nestorians in the year 625, and continuing with Marco Polo and the Mongols. Then, the great saga of Jesuits scholars and Dominics during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The author ...

Mother Goose Keepsake Collection

4 reviews

Publications International, 2002

Finally, This is the Best Mother Goose Book I've Seen Yet!!
After looking through numerous mother goose books, I decided to go with this one because the rhymes are in large print and the illustrations are big and colorful. Old MacDonald, for example, takes up 2 very large pages. Other mother goose books usually have too much going on- too many small print rhymes and illustrations on each page. You'll probably get Old MacDonald crammed onto 1/4 of a ...
