Eunice's Carbon Atoms
Published in Paperback by Writers Club Press (November, 2002)
Author: Adam Furgang
Amazon base price: $12.95
Average review score:

When's the movie coming out?
Very visual, gripping tale of futuristic pheromone powered self discovery. A little sticky at times, but an enjoyable read. Send the book to Hollywood. Could be the next Clockwork Orange, or 12 Monkeys.

Fascinating...
A very impressive book from first time author Adam Furgang. In this short novel we are taken on a wild introspective ride inside the head of the protagonist, Oliver, a yound man who is dealing with the loss of his dead sister Meredith. Eunice, Meredith's old best friend comes to Oliver's aid in his time of need. At several points the novel gets very erotic and harsh. The simple story is realistic and I recommend this book for anyone who loves to read a modern well written book.

Every child should read this book.
All three of my children have enjoyed this book. Hunter's words are a comforting blend of hope and resolve. Children of all ages who have losted a love one will see God and nature's promise within the trials of loss.

Beautifully done
Hunter Darden has done an outstanding job of dealing with the subject of death- a topic many parents try to avoid. The book is neither maudlin nor frighening and is beautifully illustrated. She explains the cycle of life in a way young children can understand.

MG Pattons command at Ft Hood is very accurate. I was there
I served in the 2nd Armored Division during MG Patton's tenure. He was an inspiration to many of us. The stories are true and very accurate. I am sure there are a few more that are not in the book! BB

Fine account of the famous warrior family.
The Generals Patton, father and son, served their country for 79 years, altogether, in careers unsurpassed by any other American military family. General George S. Patton Jr's life, in particular, has been examined microscopically, but the section of this work which recounts his career is enhanced by comments, for the first time, by his son and daughter.
That alone would make the book worthwhile, but the bulk of the work tells the story of Major General George S. Patton (1923 - ), himself a fine fighting general and one of the best trained officers ever to wear the uniform. Like his father, he was a scholar of his trade who understood that skillful audacity accomplishes the mission with minimal casualties.
Very readable, with invaluable comments by Major General Patton interspersed; photos, bibliography, and index. Highly recommended.

A totally engaging listening experience
Forbidden Fruit: The Fall Of Eve And Adam is an outstanding, multi-cast audio theater production dramatizing the Fall of Adam and Even as viewed from the perspective of five classic writers. Audio playwright Judith Seto draws upon The Bible, a medieval play, and works by John Milton, Bernard Shaw, and Mark Twain to present this classic story, and giving it her own unique and very clever feminist twist. Forbidden Fruit has a running time of 1 hour, 48 minutes, presents flawless production values, and is a very highly recommended, totally engaging listening experience that has been rarely equaled, and never surpassed.

Dramatic Anthology reworks the Fall motif
Forbidden Fruit: The Fall of Eve and Adam is an engaging exploration of some of the great literary treatments of the Adam and Eve of myth and literature. I especially found the performances of Shaw's and Mark Twain's material to be enthralling. The whole production has a sense of intimacy and imaginative play.

A Best Book
Just a note: this book appears on School Library Journal's Best Books of 2001 list (SLJ December 2001).

Enchanting story
This book is remarkable. The poem uses simple words in fun rhythms while the story is told through the beautiful illustrations. It's a tale of a young girl setting off on an adventure through the world - she crosses a bridge, builds a house, meets a bear, crosses an ocean and eventually makes her way back home to her loving family. It's a pleasure to read aloud and to find the details in the pictures. I bought copies for all my favorite kids.


Fredric Jameson (Routledge Critical Thinkers)

A wonderful introduction to a profound thinker
For those who have a hard time penetrating Jameson's notoriously difficult writing style (including myself), I highly recommend Adam Roberts' brief introduction to one of the most seminal Marxist critics of our time. This book does a nice job introducing difficult subjects such as Marxist theory and Lacanian psychoanalysis. Definitely worth my money.

Cutting through the jargon
I found this book tremendously helpful when attempting to trudge through Jameson's dense academic writing. This book not only sets out a chronological development of Jameson's arguments, but also provides many of his theoretical influences, from Marx to Lacan. In addition, difficult terms (such as "cognitive mapping" or "schizophrenia") and fellow critics (e.g. Habermas) are presented in an easily understood manner. Roberts' writing is clear, concise, and articulate, threading easily through many of Jameson's more difficult concepts. Highly recommended.

a classic; one of my favorite childrens books!
this true work of art--along with "Pat the Bunny" !--should be in every house, whether you have children or not.

Great for Parents and Teachers Alike!
This book is wonderful. I have designed a whole week's lesson plan around this book. It's great for kids to learn to read because of the repetitiveness on the story. Your kids will be able to memorize this story in no time at all. I't also just a wonderful edition to any collector's home. Definately worth it.

Great Comic
This third installment of the Dark Horse, Godzilla series is easily the best. The comic is well drawn and the characters are fleshed out; plus, it pays fitting homeage to the orginal Godzilla movies. In it, Godzilla encounters a variety of bizarre creatures and alien beings. He also gets moved through time by a mad scientist. Full of wild plot twists and high quality art, Godzilla: Past Present Future is likely to be enjoyed by Godzilla fans of all ages.

GREAT!
A great collection of some of Dark Horse's Godzilla comics. In these comics, Godzilla battles the Black Hole aliens' (from "GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA" [1974] and "TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA" [1975]) mechacial-spider; some giant hunters from outer space; and runs amok through time.

A MUST For Every Horror & Sci-Fi Fan, If You Can Get It!
I stumbled across this book about 6 years ago in a sales rack at Crown Books in Topanga Canyon, California. There were only three left, so I picked one up and paid about $11 for it. How I wish I had snatched all three, because it is now impossible to get and some dealers are asking a fortune for used versions (Ron offers the best price and his are new!). One of a kind posters, many that are different versions from the same film and sometimes foreign versions, are artfully arranged and beautifully reprinted throughout this book. The reader can enjoy the fabulous art again and again, as well as learn quite a bit about the history of film posters, lobby cards and one sheets. Ron's narrative about his love for collecting posters is a treat and he paints a great picture with words of what it was like when he and his friends started out collecting. I urge you to visit Ron's shop on Hollywood Blvd. for a look at some truly classic film posters if you just can't seem to find this great book. What can I say but, "Five Thumbs Up!" (And thanks, Ron, for sharing!)

THE QUINTESSENTIAL VINTAGE MOVIE POSTER HORROR BOOK
I have seen the collection in person and let me tell you that this book is phenomenal! . There is no book that comes close to this masterpiece. Ron still sells copies at his store in Hollywood. It is a must for any horror fan. From silent to the 70's it's all in there. There are even some items in his book that are 1 of a kind. Yes, the only specimens left on the planet earth. A feast for the eyes!
