When I read this book, I immediately felt like I was a part of the Dilley family. I sincerely wish that Keith and Becki would write another book about the sextuplets now.

I think I am a busy mother - trying to balance careers with young children - but I had no idea how busy it is possible for a parent to be! We have all read the magazine articles, seen the items on television and pondered what life might be like for families with triplets or more, but this enjoyable and easy to read book reveals angles on their experience that would never have occurred to me. I liked the way that both parents' points of view are included and the chatty style which makes this book read more like a conversation with a friend over coffee. I seldom get time to read, and yet I read this in two nights as I couldn't put it down! Parents everywhere would enjoy this book and will applaud the common sense way in which these two special parents have dealt with their almost unique situation. While understanding how much they will want to guard their privacy, I do hope there will be another book letting us in on the new and different challenges they will face at later stages in their children's lives.

I'd love to read more books like this one. A really lovely telling of how the family coped with a lot of little ones at once.

The Maxx is the most popular work of creator/writer/artist Sam Kieth. Maxx is a superhero who exists in the "real" world as a bum who lives on social worker Julie Winter's couch, but in the trippy "outback" world, Maxx is a superhero who defends Julie Winters against Mr.Gone and the nasty Isz's. Little does he know that Mr.Gone has actually invaded the "real" world and is attacking Julie Winters there!
The Maxx is ultimately a philosophical book that will make you question the reality of your surroundings.
Sam Kieth was one of the early Image Comics creators, and is known for his amazing artistic ability. A must read for any comics fan both for the artwork and the story...
Also check out Sam's version of the Maxx as done by Mtv's Liquid television on video....

Reading what Sam Walton did in WalMart in such a short time is better than what any course can teach you in years. This is definetely an investment for your business.

yeshe tsogyal. apology accepted if you don't know of her. she is the consumate female yogi, and the events of her life-story, with its sweet and bitter struggles as a stunning village-beauty offerred in marriage to the king of tibet, to her tantric initiation and education and subsequent practice (under the guidance of her consort padmasambhava, the mystic yogi credited with bringing tantra to tibet), all serve to exemplify the triumph over ignorance and suffering. this book is heavy at times (she went through some tuff stuff) but you will be a better woman for reading it (males and females alike!)

The book is entirely journal entries that for the most part describe how the author builds his wilderness cabin and goes about other day-to-day tasks. This is not the book for those seeking accounts of extraordinary Alaskan adventures but it is an impressive account of craftmanship. It is a story of impressive feats of carpentry and resourcefulness. You do get a few descriptions of encounters with wildlife but I didn't find that to be a strength of the book. Great pictures, too.

This has to be one of my very favorite books. I have read it front to back at least 7 times! It is written with the true adventurer in mind. Every detail of his experience makes the reader wish it were he/she that was there with him. If you have ever wished you could just go off into the woods, build a cabin and be self-sufficiant, This is the book for you.

This is a powerful book and has quite a following. I was given the book by one of my best friends, which I consider a wonderful gift. This book has it all, beautiful photos, Richard's journal notes are amazing in their insight to his thinking and how this adventure unfolded. It is a simply wonderful book, and has people traveling to Alaska just to see the setting for such a balanced book. This book lays claim to new territory, and the claim is valid. No wonder it sells well, it is captivating reading and makes you look hard and close at your own life.

This book is not for advanced users wanting to learn more about V8 or its working as it deals very sparingly with V8.The book should rather be called "Outside Microstation V8 Looking In"

I pre-ordered this book since this is about the only V8 book out there. When I recieved it, the name was different than advertised but the ISBN number is correct. Apparently this is not a new book but an update to the old one. What a waste. Someone should fire the editor of the book because many of the things that have been updated like pictures do not match the text or vice versa. This book glances over all of the new V8 items instead of going into them in depth. This book is good for beginers using J (v7) but I don't recomend it for someone using v8. I have been using v8 since it came out and I must say this book taught me almost nothing that I didn't already know. There are many customization things I would like to know how to do and this book doesn't even mention this. Like another reviewer said, this isn't a cover all bases book like the many books available for Autocad. Most of those book are also twice as thick.
I had high hopes for this book since Frank Conforti works for or with Bentley and he has answered many questions on the bentley newsgroups. Apparently neither him nor anyone else has time to fully explain all of the added functionality of V8.

As a new user of Microstation (but already familiar with AutoCAD), I've found the book presented in logical order and in an understandable fashion. It has a simple step-by-step approach for studying. As I go through page-by-page, I'm gaining compentence in the use of this program.

This is why I read comics. For the thrill of a story told in a way only this medium can do it. Kieth is a master at pacing and composition, and with an appealing style that avoids the unpleasant unnatural realism that has wandered into much mainstream work (his anatomy, while cartoony, is at least much more realistic, as women are allowed to have normal bodies with hips and flab and all).

This is not an easy read: Dealing with the violence and rape in the story is difficult. You have to pay careful attention to both what is being said and what is being shown, because they don't always even up, and for good reason. Kieth manages not to be exploitative in some very difficult situations, and builds the complete horror of the story.

It could be a bit better. Just a bit more characterization up front, and the ending seems a bit rushed. This may be down to the fact that it was published originally as comics, which creates a problem when each "chapter" has to be of equal lenght.

Highly recommended, though. Much better than Zero Girl, which sort of fizzled at the end. If you want to see how comics can approach serious and realistic themes without any of the trappings people usually associate with comics (superheroes, magic, science fiction), get this one immediately.

Seelie and Unseelie elves trying to eke out an existance in Banal world, battling invisible chimaeric toys in the streets of Frisco, clinging tenaciously the nobility of the Middle Ages. I found this book quite refreshing from the run-of-the-mill fantasy books one can find. Unlike many of the novels about the faerie people, this one actually takes place on present-day Earth, and the faeries have to juggle two lives (human and faerie) besides trying to keep from losing their memories to the cold, unbelieving Banal world. All in all, a refreshing take on the faerie folk, and all in all, a great read.

It's a good book. Lot's of good information about the Keith's from Scotland. If you are a descendant of the Keith's you will love the history. If you are just a history buff you will learn a lot about a not very well know person who had a big impact on history.

I did not go beyond the first two chapters, mainly because of the 'paradoxical' answers to some of the questions, which I couldn't make heads or tails of, nor did a couple of the Exchange administrators here at work. The rest of the book may have been different, but I believed I was wasting my time reading any further.

I found the layout of the book difficult to follow. The "Test Day Fast Facts" were a handy summary, but the sample questions were poorly worded, confusing, and in way to many cases, totally inaccurate.

Without any earlier experience with Exchange Server or any earlier exchange exams, I used this book to study for the exam and passed it. Maybe not the best study guide available for the test but gives you enough information to pass the test.
