When the book started it was ok, but from there it went to a man sharing three women, who didn't have any problems with sharing the same man. Most readers will probally enjoy, but it just wasen't my cup of tea.

A good read that holds your attention and keeps you wondering what next. Although lengthy at over 500 pages the story takes several interesting turns that leaves you hungry for more. The book is filled with tender moments of love, sweet sex, and compassion, dotted with poetry at the end of several chapters. The main character is every bit of a-gentleman-and-a-half as he manages to satisy and maintain the respect of 4 nubian princesses. No small task for anyone familiar with relationships involving strong-willed women. The final chapters lead to a climatic ending that brings back a hard dose or reality, but oh what a journey.

This is a nice little book; a quick and easy read, it still manages to pass along a fairly large amount of information in a lively manner. It seems as though the authors must have researched a great deal of material, and carefully distilled it down to a clear, easy-to-read summary of legends of the more popular gems and jewels. Not at all stuffy or scholarly, the book still manages to educate, in a nice, easy, entertaining manner.

It is fairly limited in terms of amount of information about the various stones, but if you take it for what it offers, which is a breezy, friendly overview of the legends various societies have had about gems, it's well worth the effort. My only real problem with the book was that I personally felt I wanted more depth and more breadth, but that is not to detract from the nice job the authors did on the book.

I found the book intriguing and an enjoyable read. It triggered a lot of questions, did Atlantis really exist? how could an advanced civilization be destroyed so completely? The author's account is so incredibly detailed, it leaves you wondering, how could he possibly have this knowledge? If you're at all interested in soul memory, channeling, past lives, and spiritual healing, it is a must read. It has been predicted that some major catastrophe is coming in the millenium, this book serves as a warning.

This book is very nice. I don't own it but I've read it. It's about a princess (Princess Julia) that will donate money to a hospital and Barbie has to interview her. After the interview the princess's necklace is missing! Will Barbie be able to help her find it? I like this book because it has nice photo pictures and it's a good, sweet story. I also reccomend that you join the Barbie Book Club from Grolier. All Barbie books are nice. (Except for this one book I read about Skipper...)

this is a great sticker book for young girls that like tea parties!

The only reason I gave this book a 4 is all designs need to be enlarged, and there are no pictures of the finished designs.

Below is a portion of the publisher's note within the book, that will give you some good information.

"Bevels and glass jewels add sparkling points of interest to any stained glass project. This book includes 83 floral, geometric, bird, butterfly, fish, Art Nouveau and Victorian style patterns that have been specially designed to highlight the faceted and shaped glass pieces that appear within them. The patterns appear in square, rectangular, circular, octagonal and free-form shapes and can be used for lightcatchers, door and window panels, box tops and glass projects. Bevels and jewels are no more difficult to incorporate into a pattern than regular stained glass sections."

Later in this same section they go on further about the contents of the book.

"The illustrations on pages 4-7 show the true size (and in some cases two views) of all the bevels and jewels that appear within the patterns on pages 8-64. The patterns, however, appear within the book at half their actual size and will need to be xeroxed at a 200% enlargement in order for the bevels and jewels to fit. The measurements that are printed next to each pattern give the dimensions to which it will be enlarged when doubled in size."

My impressions of the book, as I just received it are positive. There are some pretty nice designs inside from the tradition looking door insert types to some pretty intricate bird, fish and flower designs. None except for the cover are shown as a picture, all are sketches and drawings. Inside both covers are drawings with suggested colors of 11 of the designs within, but the rest only have the patterns in black and white. All patterns have other patterns on the back side.

Some details are:

8 butterfly designs (some with flowers)

3 birds

3 fish

7 flowers (distinctly flowers and not stylized geometric renditions)

The bulk of the book, is stylized flower or geometric designs. Really neat looking ones. This is not surprising as the bevels and jewels are limited to specific geometric shapes.

All in all a decent book.

Halloween was five months ago and my son still asks me to read this book to him. It's a delightful, fun book that takes us from A to Z while celebrating Halloween. The book comes with stickers for the child to place on each item associated with the letter.

I enjoyed this book from the first page to the last. I am looking forward to reading every book Ms Greiman has written, as I love stories about the Scottish Highlands. She holds a reader's interest with a fast moving story much like my other favorite Julie Garwood. Love the people she created for this story too.

This is the first book I've read by Holly L. Huff, and I'm hooked. I was drawn in right away and the book kept me guessing until the end. This isn't a sweet romance, but one that delves deep into the heart of the characters. The main characters' plight became very real and I found myself biting my nails through the plot twists. I'll be looking for more from this author!

This book, the sequel to Before Night Falls, continues the story of Max and Emilie, but it also goes more in-depth into Wilhelm's search for Natalie, the rabbi's granddaughter, and it also introduces the story of a pastor in the Reich church and his close friendship with a Jewish family, especially their daughter. Though the plot was once again very captivating, I missed the romantic tension that was present in the first book. This book focused more on religious themes, and was uplifting. I enjoyed it a lot.
