The photorealistic artwork in this book is really stunning (though I prefer the more comic-booky art style of Jill Thompson in "Sandman: Brief Lives").

The plot, though, was just ... blah. I didn't feel like Lyta Hall's story was really even resolved. The business with Cronus was never really explained (I guess I can pull out my old copy of "Bullfinch's Mythology" and look him up). Overall, it wasn't very satisfying.

Another reviewer called this the best Sandman spinoff since "Death: The Time of Your Life." I don't agree. I think the best Sandman spinoff (other than the two Death books, which were awesome) was Lucifer.

I don't know why this one was realeased in hardcover, other than so DC could charge more for it. I'd suggest waiting for paperback, or borrowing someone else's copy. The story's not worth the price tag.

Maybe it's because I haven't read the Sandman graphic novels in a couple of years... maybe it's because I need to bone up on my Greek mythology.... oh, heck, maybe it's just because I'm a simpleton -- whatever the reason, I just couldn't wrap my head around this book. I desparately wanted to like it. But try as I might, I had a very difficult time following the story (never a good sign), even after two readings.

In true John Bolton form, the artwork is more gorgeous than gorgeous. Unfortunately, while aesthetically pleasing, the choice of models is somewhat distracting. Call me kooky, but I have a really hard time suspending disbelief enough to accept the notion that millenia-old Greek dieties come in the shape of teenagers.

This was my first exposure to Mike Carey's work. I've heard lots of wonderful things about him, so I won't be put off simply because THE FURIES didn't work for me. If you're looking to try some Carey, maybe the LUCIFER trade paperbacks would be a better place to start.

If you're even looking at this item then you probably have already read Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. If not then you should get those graphic novels first before you even think of getting any of The Sandman Presents series. But if you have read The Sandman up to its conclusion and were wondering what ever happened to Lyta Hall after The Wake, then this book is for you.

The photorealistic art by John Bolton is the best of all The Sandman Presents series, and Mike Carey already proven his ability to write Gaiman's characters with the other Sandman spin-off Lucifer and with the fan-favorite Hellblazer.

Plus, this is one of only three appearances Daniel has made out of the original Sandman. The other two being in JLA: Strength in Numbers and Lucifer: Nirvana. So if you want the complete Sandman library then this book is a must.

Plus, it looks really good next to The Sandman: The Dream Hunters hardcover.

Basically, a must for any Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey, or Sandman fan.

This book is extremely limited in discussing how these genetic disorders manifest themselves clinically. I would not recommend this book for students who plan to apply their knowledge in the clinical setting. Explanations of certain genetic terms are not always clearly defined nor are certain biologic processes such as meiosis. Overall, a poorly written book for anyone but a graduate student of genetics.

I think the book is fine,but there ought to be detailed explanations about various genetical disorders in human genes.

This book was intended to prepare medical students to understand the basic science principles that form the foundation of clinical genetics. It is not intended to be a clinical handbook. It does an excellent job showing how the clinical genetic diseases illustrate the scientific principles of genetics. I think that it is very well written, and forms a foundation to pursue more clinical studies.

In my opinion, this was a good novel. You are a bit confused at the beginning, but you start to understand it by maybe the third chapter. Although I don't like what happened to Phineas at the end, it was an element that really gave the book reality; every book can't end with "...and they lived happily ever after." John Knowles' A SEPARATE PEACE was a moving novel that gets you thinking. I strongly recommend this book to those who are open-minded; otherwise, you probably won't enjoy the story too much.

A Separate Peace is very startling and intriguing. Finny is a great example of who everyone wants to be. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes to read.

The book is essentially a reflection of a 30-something year old man trying to convalesce from two psychologically traumatic experiences that happened in his youth at a New England boarding school. Gene was not ready, in his teen aged years, for the experience of Phineas - a character more mythologiclly true than realistic. Although the excellently crafted subtlies of this novel could by pass the shallow reader, there is a wealth of youth, human, psychology for the keen eye and the sensitive soul. Understand this book, and it will change your view of friendship and war forever. How can anyone read that last paragraph: "All of them, all except Phineas, constructed at infinite cost to themselves these Maginot Lines against this enemy they thought they saw across the frontier, this enemy who never attacked that way - if he ever attacked at all; if he was indeed the enemy" and not immediately want to read the book again,... and not have her/his naivete immediately shattered.

This book is not one I would recommend for "personal enrichment" use. It is very technical, with the usual statistical graphs, etc. I found the categories considered to be components of dysfunction somewhat interesting.

This "biography/criticism" of John Donne does little more than reveal Mr. Edwards' own prejudices. As a theologian, Mr. Edwards showcases his contempt for Donne's early life and work, and uses Donne's later sermons and religious poems to display his own religious erudition. Mr. Edwards appears to see Donne as nothing but an Anglican apologist. The book shows limited understanding of historical or literary criticism, and scant sympathy with Donne's very human struggles. This book merely reinforces the already muddled body of Donne scholarship.
