I was looking at other publications on this subject, and they only cover federal law. This one allows me to comply with federal law, the law of any particular state, or the laws of all 50 states at once! Instead of just descriptions of the law, the book gave me practical steps on how to comply. Plus, the included software made it easy to build all the forms I needed. This product really was a one stop solution for me.

This is a wonderful collection of poetry readings by some of the best actors in the world. If you allow yourself only one tape of poetry, I would recommend this one. The rendition of Lawrence's "The Snake" is spellbining, and the reading of Macneil's "A Death in the Family" is quietlly gut-wrenching. And you will be surprised how well Bill Shatner recites about whales. Buy this tape, and you will listen to it again and again.

This is an excellent, comprehensive coverage of the methods of TESL/TEFL teaching! Perfect for anyone teaching TEFL but unable to attend a full training course. Also useful for teachers in the field.

This is a bold attempt by the author to weave magic and history, and it ultimately fails, although it was probably worth the effort. Doesn't quite get where he wants us to go, but it's a fun trip, anyhow.
Much of the book is based on Michael Lesy's "Wisconsin Death Trip," an historical record of life, death, and madness in Northern Wisconsin at the end of the 19th century. Lesy's book succeeds where Jones fails, simply by letting the events and Schaik's remarkable photographs stand on their own. There is no need to resort to the supernatural-reality is more than bizarre enough.

I found this book a little confusing to begin with but if you just concentrate you will find so many meanings to the words. The characters are vivid and precise, a great combination of personality traits and strengths. Definately worth the reading for all those who believe in any kind of spiritual being and its influences on their lives.

I am very selective with what I read and like very unconventional novels Billy Sunday surpassed everything I believed possible from an author. I mean this compltely literally the book is magic. Read Rod Jones other novel Julia Paradise it to is complete brilliance

In Shanghai in the late 1920s, a Scottish psychotherapist treats a woman suffering from hallucinations. The patient, Julia Paradise, is the wife of a Christian missionary and begins an affair with the psychotherapist, telling him her secret history as a victim of incest.

The novel is incredibly short, just 123 pages, but manages to make of itself a rather offensive spectacle, dealing as it does only with ugly portraits of sexuality. None of the characters become worthy of our empathy or even sympathy. This is in rather bold contrast to Rod Jones' later novel "Billy Sunday." Perhaps "Julia Paradise" would have succeeded had Jones delved more into Julia's hallucinations, presenting them as the sort of surreal dream he accomplished with "Billy Sunday."

Never read such a short novel that was so thickly woven absolutely brilliant

Rating: 4 1/2 stars

I read this book in basically two days. I found it to be very fast paced and terribly easy to follow (in a good way...I'm a busy person). Jones obviously researched every possible detail for this book. She is thorough and knows the story nearly as well as the 5 "vampire teens."

I also enjoyed her exploration of the different angles of each persons involvement. I read a reviewer's piece in which a they critisized Jones' defense of Heather Wendorf. I don't agree with this criticism - I think Jones is right on.

Most importantly to me, I appreciate Jones explaining different levels of paganism and wicca. She didn't bunch witches, satanists, wiccans, and confused teens into one broad category. They are all different things, and people need to understand that. It should be known that Rod Ferrel's version of Satanism was way off and completely uneducated.

Nonetheless, this book is an interesting read. I recommend reading it and then looking up the case online.

Saw this book, didn't know what to think of it, but having known people involved in the "goth" counter-culture (I myself never was), I decided to pick it up.

The book reads almost like a novel, something I've gotten very used to when reading non-fiction. Jones's explorations into Rod's and Heather's histories was expected and I found to be very thorough. What I found most interesting wasn't the "occult" aspect of the book, but the media, police, and prosecution/defense lawyers' treatment of Heather during the latter part of the book, when the trials are being recalled. It really raises an alarm, noting that many times, the media will have us believe what they want. If Jones wanted me to sympathize with Heather, she succeeded, and I think she did a very good job of painting the various aspects of the murder's aftermath in a light that almost makes the reader feel guilty--I would have definitely believed what the media fed me. It's a thought-provoking book, especially considering recent debates over media and counter-culture influences in teenage behavior.

This book had my interest from the very first page. Ms. Jones tells a true story that needed to be told in a way that makes one forget it is a true story. She takes the reader into the world of these teenagers and shows us how venerable our teens are...even the bright ones from the "good homes". This is a perfect example of what can go wrong, and how very wrong things can go, when parents assume that their children have the common sense of an adult. It is a timely tale in light of the teen/youth violence epidemic going on in this country. A must for anyone who has kids, or is involved with kids.
