Serious, philosophical texts that could give Buddha a run for his karma. Poetic, possible, and piss-elegant at times, Arroyo brings out the cannibal within the spiritualized vegan.

I was truly impressed with the caliber of beauty and language in this collection, and I was not surprised to discover Mr. Arroyo is also a playwright--his work exhudes of the power and energy usually reserved for the voices of the stage. You've got to read this book!!!

This book was written by the mother of an autistic child, but I would bet that most young children would love the colorful imagery, the adorable animals and train parts, as well as the repeating story components. The "plot" allows children to take part in the story in a fun way. I look forward to reading it to my twin niece and nephew.

Autism Society Bookstore Review

Party Train is a delightful, large hardback children's book written by Lesli Mitchell, the mother of an autistic child and a professional writer. Using a behavioral context, this appealing story is about a lengthening train full of animals. The 32-page book is written in large print, and nearly every page has several bold words for your child to repeat. Once a page is turned, the events of the repeated words unfold before their eyes in vividly colored, three-dimensional illustrations. These pictures are quite captivating and increase the child's desire to repeat the highlighted words and participate in the story. If you are working on circletime behavior this book will be of help. I feel it is definitely worth the money, and would best interest early childhood educators, parents and their developmentally delayed children who are between the ages of 2 and 10. I have not seen another book similar to this one, and I enthusiastically give it a rating of 5 out of 5.

For any Rifter, this is the must have of the collection. With details of the Pecos Riders and other such empires, the information alone is worth it. But there is also more character classes, weapons and gear than one can shake a stick at. The best part of the sourcebook it that it'll help recall some of the best (and worst) westerns you've seen and BAM instant adventures.

This book is great. I suggest the preacher, which is good for interesting play. For psychic players, there is a psi-slinger and it is great. The best list for the best TW weapons I have ever seen.

The best word I can think of to describe these selections from the "Alexander Journal" is their CLARITY. It's as if the reader has entered the verbal equivalent of "high definition." When I think of the garbled distortions of truth available in the past, I feel fortunate ... and ... well, blessed to have the questions and issues explored in these essays presented so beautifully for the reader -- meaning you and me. Buy it, read it, share it, and read it again.

If yer looking fer a dog to kick cuz your friend got his neck streched by some pepper gut sheep dippers this book is fer you. If not then you probably don't have enough guts to make a string of ghost cord and you better look over your shoulder or someone will make wolves meat of you.

Western history books, novels, and movies (see TNT's "Purgatory") are becoming more "accurate" with the language that was used during the great cowboy era of the US. This book will help you with that terminology. Ramon F. Adams was one of the great historians of this period. His "Burs Under the Saddle" and "More Burs Under the Saddle" should be mandatory reading for those studying this period in our history.

Author Ramon Harris pens a gripping tale in ALLEGRO'S SECRET. As the idealism of youth gives way to disillusionment and grief, Al grows from innocence to bitterness, yet even his traitorous acts never place his team in danger. The radical personality changes that accompany his horrible accident provide a poignant, sympathetic note to the novel as well. In addition, his ambitious girl friend and later wife Mandy creates a powerful presence in the novel. Secondary characters likewise will capture the reader's attention, including those with whom he served and those who led them. A carefully crafted, powerfully rendered, tension filled read that's impossible to put down, ALLEGRO'S SECRET comes very highly recommended.

This is avery funny book! I started to read it and I finished it that night, it's so addicting just like Lowry's other books. If your looking for a good book, this is an excelent one.

Unang Baboy sa Langit is an award-winning children's short story by Rene Villanueva about a pig who chose to defy her nature as a pig by striving to be clean. At first treated as a deviant by the pig community, Butsekik was tried for being "un-pigly" as it were and sent to the chopping block to become a roast pig. Yet, the pestilence that the pig community suffered because of their filth proved that Butsekik's desire to be clean was right after all. The filthy pigs were thrown away and Butsekik was met by a brass band as she entered heaven. Thus, Butsekik became the patron saint of pigs because she taught them that even if they were pigs cleanliness was still important.
This is a lovely book about cleanliness and integrity. Set in both English and Filipino, the story was richly-illustrated by Ibarra C. Crisostomo. Kids from various cultures would surely love it as our own kids did.

A wonderfull book. full of elocuent ideas about almost everything in the world. A MUST-TO-READ book written for all ages. A book without past and a lot of future... so many people ignore this book because of their lack of information! I live in the same city as the author lived plenty of his life, although he was Spanish. Im proud of him!

No collection of short plays I've read before or since (even within the same series) has matched this one's élan. Kudos to editor Del Gado and each of the playwrights invited by him to contribute to this stellar compilation. -- Kevin DiNovis
