True Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Published in Paperback by Simon & Schuster (Paper) (1900)
Authors: John Seelye and Mark Twain
Amazon base price: $3.45
Used price: $5.00
Average review score:

A ribald Huck Finn for the 'crikits'
Seelye's tongue-in-cheek rewriting of Twain's classic is a joy to read, in no small part because his Huck as engaging as Twain's. Seelye's project is largely critical discourse--as Huck's introduction to this edition makes clear--but of the best sort. In allowing "the real Huck" to write his own book, Seelye compels us to see the beauty of Twain's. Seelye's Huck cusses and fantasizes in ways that seem natural to readers today but that would have shocked readers in Twain's day. But if his characters are more realistic than Twain's, we see in Seelye's ending just why Twain was compelled to compose such a frustrating close for his novel. A book for all fans of Twain, or Huck. See Seelye's _The Kid_ for a different take on similar themes, Huck Finn and Jim in the Territory.

A Review For Where In America's Past Is Carmen Sandiego?
This is my review for Where In America's Past Is Carmen Sandiego? You Are The Detective Series, by John Peel, Illustrated by Paul Vaccarello. This is definetly a five-star book, that I highly recommend! It's so entertaining, that I've read it over again, many, many times! This time around, Carmen Sandiego, and her elusive gang are sneaking through American History, and have already taken 4 priceless treasures. In this book, there are 4 mystery-adventure games for you to play. How you play them: First, you choose what item you want to go after, first, out of: Old New York City, Robert E. Lee's Horse Traveler, Benjamin Franklin's Bifocals, and The Apollo 8 Space Capsule that orbited the Moon! Then, turn to the indicated page number. Example: Say you first went after The Apollo 8 Space Capsule. The number would be: 133. Well, there aren't 133 pages in the book. But, on each page there are several numbers. So, you'd find the number 133, not the page. Read on, until you have choices. You could either question people, or go to a new destination. First, question people. There are 3 people that you can question. {You don't have to question all 3 if you don't want or need to!} As usual, turn to the number indicated. Once you know where you're going, next, go to your new place, and time period, by turning to the indicated number. Do the questioning, and traveling, repeatedly, until you have only one option: Question 1 of 3 people. Now, you have to be careful. The thief is nearby, with the loot. Question whoever you like, until you find a list of addresses for all of Carmen's sneaky gang. Then, choose your thief. {By the way, you should have recieved clues about what your suspect looks like. Then, you should have recorded all of your clues on the Score Card, and what treasure you're returning, how many travel points you have, That means put down 1 point for each move you make. and who you think you're suspect is.} Then, choose which one of Carmen's gang is your suspect, and turn to the page that's indicated. At the end of the case, add up all of your travel points, and check the final number against the Scoring Chart in the back of the book. This wonderful book comes with 8 suspect cards, 8 Map Cards, 4 Stolen Object Cards, and 4 Bookmark/ Scorecards. I love this book, and recommend it to anyone who loves mystery, and adventure! Enjoy! I hope that you liked my review, and, maybe, even considered buying the product!

Word for Us: Gospels of John and Mark, Epistles to the Romans and the Galations
Published in Paperback by Coalition on Women & Religion (1977)
Author: Joann Haugerud
Amazon base price: $9.95
Used price: $7.15
Average review score:

What a difference inclusive language makes.
I think Joann Haugerud does an excellent job of taking on the challenge of presenting some of the Bible's most powerful books in inclusive (non-sexist) language. A good alternative for women and men who are sensitive to sexism in these traditional texts.

Great Guide to the world's greatest architectural designs!
This book is indeed a masterpiece and it is great for someone who is studying to be an engineer or is interested in architecture. It is fantastic and has everything from the Lovely Louvre to the palace at Petra, from the Great Golden Gate to the construction of the Chrysler. It shows fine examples of art deco, modern, classical, Greek, Muslim etc. architectural wonders. It not only explains and shows the construction of these great buildings, but for certain buildings it also shows their plan, it's legends, along with information about who built it, why did they build it, whom did it build it for, when was it built, and where it is. It also has sections showing the greatest styles of architecture ever used along with a series of historic sites in the world. All in all this is a fantastic and very useful guide to the masterpieces of Architecture and Engineering.
