A wonderfully well-written, amazingly informative book on women's psyches. I recommend it to everyone - man and woman. You will be glad you read it.

I think this book contains a wonderful mix of legends and folklore, along with articles, poetry and of course, a Jungian analysis that is multi-dimensional. If you're interested in mythology and analyzing the characteristics or relationships of the Roman/Greek goddesses, this is the book to read.

This book was recommended by my niece, a psychologist, about eight years ago. I devoured it and re-read many sections. It was a learning experience and a growing experience for me. It assisted in opening my heart and my mind to the strengths present in myself. I have begun the wonderful journey of paganism within the last year. Because of this book, I was familiar with many secular concepts of the mythology of the Goddess and quite accepting of the Divine within my heart. It cleared up many misconception that have been erroneously perpetuated throughout history regarding the journey of the pagan. Yet it also is relevent to ALL women of all faiths. It brings our strengths to the surface and makes us proud of who and what we are.

This was an ambitious endeavor by the authors to view everything related to Last of the Mohicans...all the films, comic books, television shows and specials...and to analyze why it has lasted, why the myth is important to american culture, why the book keeps being produced. The wealth of detail was fascinating.

I may be the only person ever to read this book that doesn't think it's a landmark in herpetocultural literature. Oh well. For the record, I found the information sound, and I was pleased by the book's wealth of information about snake ailments. However, this is not a book for anyone who does not already know how to care for his or her Python regius. The discussion of basic care information is, I thought, inadequate, and De Vosjoli in particular seems to regard these snakes as incredibly delicate, look-but-don't-touch animals. If you are interested in ball pythons, buy this book, but don't buy *only* this book.

I found a lot of valuable information in this book. I have been raising Ball Pythons for years and let me tell you I wish had found this book a long time ago. The information in this book is vital especially because of the "bad advice" and "old wives tales" that have been circulating about this breed the last decade. A must for all serious ball python owners and enthusiasts.

Ball pythons are increasingly popular as pets, but the uninformed owner may have problems with feeding, shedding, etc. This book, by widely respected authorities, provides concise and practical information to make ball python ownership rewarding for snake and keeper. On internet mailing lists and newsgroups, when new ball python keepers ask for information, often they are referred to this book. The Ball Python Manual describes pattern variations, guidelines for selecting a healthy snake, housing, feeding, handling, and quite a bit more including disorders in ball pythons.

This is an interesting novel. It has a lot of potential for both the fantastique and the humorous (since its a book about two kind of kennedy families, one a "physical" kennedy family and another a "spiritual" kennedy family, either way they are both disfunctional beyond reasons of insanity). Its a good read...but...

...first the novel jumps all over the place...one chapter you are reading a mystical experience, the next you are reading something that might as well have been written in a tabloid newspaper. Finally after around one to two hundred the novel gets going and it does a good job...

...second problem. Its just another Clive Barker series. In other words. You ain't never going to see the conclusion this side of paradise. Just like the Art series and probably with that new series Abbarat or whatever it is called... there is not ever going to be a conclusion because I think Clive writes to a point then just doesn't know where to put the period.

...third, good novel but...ultimately...its nothing new. Weaveworld was a classic novel, as was Imajica (though yes it was too long), but...its nothing new under the sun in the genre of the fantastique and the macabre. Nothing cutting edge which is a surprise since so many people keep thinking C.B. goes to the cutting edge. Really, its not.

Love conquers all in this fascinating tale of two families at war. I was transfixed from page one, always wondering what would happen next, and trying to figure out the riddle of it all. From the Barbosssa house set back among the hills of North Carolina, a man sits down to write a family history. It turns out to be a tale of love and hatred between clans- one a powerful American family(aka the Kennedys), and the other a phsycic, magical, sometimes evil family that has been around since the dawn of time. The two could not exist without each other, but yet one yearns for the destruction of the other. A lovely girl from Ohio is swept off her feet and finds herself emersed in the battle between a man's heart and his soul. I thought this book was brilliantly written as well as a great story.
