of our time. The Lawyer's Tale and Sunset Bomber were both written by the famed Los Angeles lawyer, Bert Fields. His clients are some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg are just some of his high profle clients. He has never lost a case and he is considered the most feared and powerful man in the Industry.
He writes about what he knows best and does it really well. You just have to ask the question, how much is really fiction?

I thought this to be an excellent book. I read it in 5 hours. The book just kept you going from one thing to another. I was wondering if there were any others books written by this author. Does anyone know?

I believe that this book was written by a pure genious. It was an excellent book and it has the potential to keep you reading. Many books can not do this to a person, but this one is a true goodie.

This book may be small in size, but it is packed with deep metaphysical information. It is a subject that affects us all every day of our lives and it is the ideal book to keep with you and dip into frequently. I have several of Richard Lawrence's books and I enjoy the way he makes even the most complex subjects, very clear and logical. It is said that the greatest gift you can give another person is wisdom. This book really does make a great gift.

It is obivious that Richard knows his subject inside out. He is able to impart the complex and much of the time a hidden and mysterious subject in to laymans terms. He accomplishes this through his own experiences and that of others who have gone before him. This book is a goldmine of information, despite its size it is ideal for anyone wanting to learn more about karma and get ahead in life. Thoroughly recommended!

I have studied many books on metaphysics and karma but this 'little book' has explained more about karma with very easy to read examples that I have yet to find. I found this book simple yet profound, light reading yet deep in context. This book is sure to go far and I will be telling everyone I know about it. Don't leave home without it...

I read this book as a child, and here I am years later with a copy my sister recently purchased - and still remember the characters. An excellent way to teach children right from wrong - as well as helping them understand why people act the way they do. I recommend this book and all of the other "Little Miss" and "Mr." books. They are all wonderful!

I read Little Miss Trouble as a child and I enjoyed it. This book is excellent for all those childern who like to cause trouble

I loved this book. I am an eight year old and still love this book. This book is about a little girl who always gets into trouble. She does things and then blames them on someone else. People that are ennocent are getting into trouble. Read the book to find out more!

Whether you are simply exploring an interest in poetry or are a seasoned reader of the great poets, Longfellow's poems will move you. There is a poem in this collection that is perfect for every mood you could be in. If you are down and need to be lifted up, if you simply want to smile about the beauty of life, or if your heart has been broken, Longfellow's works will speak to your heart. Longfellow's works have spoken to my soul as no other poet or writer has ever before.

I love this book it is something that men and women would enjoy. I have tons of information on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow because our house is a remake of his he lived from 1807-1882. If I were you I would buy it I am the biggest fan of his I have every single book of poems,songs,and more on him in paperback and hardcover. Buy it!

When I was producing a video biography of Longfellow for Macmillan/McGraw-Hill in 1992, I needed a one-volume selection of Longfellow's poetry, and this book did the job very nicely. It includes Longfellow's best-known poems as well as two others that were never published during the poet's lifetime but must be classed with his finest work. The introduction by Lawrence Buell provides a useful biographical sketch and a thoughtful discussion of why Longfellow--the most famous American of his time--is not more widely read today. Buell's observations may get you thinking about this schoolbook poet in a different way.

This book was beautifully and passionately written. It is a love story unique and philosophical. Do we choose our own fates? Alvina will tell you.

Just like SISTER CARRIE, THE LOST GIRL is about a young woman searching for her place in the world. Meaning, floucing from one man to another, flirting, playing, getting engaged then dashing away for fun. And just like JEANNIE GERHARDT, this old man gets herself in trouble.

But the most fascinating part of this book is it's glimps into her background. How she was brought up in a wealthy and rich household, only to try out different occupations against her father's wishes, then ends up as a lower classed female in life. Very tragic.

I recently got done reading this wonderful, yet forgotten novel of Lawrence's. Truly compelling in it's intricate details of a young woman trying to find herself. Literally. She goes on the 'universal' self journey and discovers that she was lost and finally finds her identity and sensuality in the man she loves. D.H. Lawrence has a wonderful way of not wrapping up the ending in a nice,neat little package. As always, Lawrence is the ultimate man of mystery, sensual needs and desires. A "must read" for those who love to read Lawrence and for those who never have!

I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE READ SUCH A SUSPENSEFUL ROMANCE NOVEL. I MEAN I COULD NOT WAIT TO TURN EACH PAGE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT. I DIDN'T THINK THESE TWO WOULD EVER GET TOGETHER WITH ALL THAT WAS AGIANST THEM. I GUESS TRUE LOVE ALWAYS WINS IN THE END. HEATHER AND GERALD MADE ME BELIEVE IN REAL LOVE AGAIN. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT ANNA LARENCE HAS WRITTEN OTHER BOOKS WITH THESE SAME CHARACTERS. NOW I HAVE TO GO ONLINE AND ORDER EVERYTHING SHE HAS EVER WRITTEN. I'M SURE I WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

Wait until you have the pleasure of reading this book. Ms. Larence is a romance writer that doesn't even make a suggestion of a bedroom make out torid love scene, let along even approach the bedroom door. But guess what! It works and will hold your attention from the very first page.

And that first page reading literally had my jaw hanging down to the floor. I couldn't believe that a woman could leave a man at the altar. Especially, a millionaire NBA, MVP, handsome and loving man as Gerald Forrester was, and claim to love him.

But this is what Heather Chadwick did. But that's not all folks! Girlfriend expects the jilted groom to understand and still remain with her.

When I first starting reading this book, I said this woman has lost her mind, and immediately settled down to hate The heroine with all my heart. But guess what! I found myself rooting for girlfriend to get her man back! I couldn't believe it myself.

Wait until you read the many ways she devises to get her man back (she's very creative). Have a box of tissues ready. I still get weepy thinking about the restaurant scene where she lays out everything to Gerald - and in the presence of his girlfriend! Ms. Larence has written an ending that surpasses all endings. You'll never guess.

I won't say another word. Experience it yourself. Needless to say, I went online and ordered everything Ms. Larence has written. I have some catch up to do, because this is her third novel. I hope you take my advice to buy this woman's books, she will have your emotions tied up in knots!

Heather is a wonderfull character with a not so common problem. i was very anxious to find out just how "mr.sicko" was going to convince heather that he was the man for her. i never thought that it would be in that fashion. it was shocking, shocking, shocking. heather's mom was a jewel. she was another controlling mom who actually believed that she was doing all the right things for her daughter. the idea of introducing the wnba into this storyline was a bonus for all women. i never expected it. after reading this book, i had to find the first book and was not disappointed. thanks for really thinking of women with color in a positive roll.

I got Dr. R's book for the public, Headache Help, and that was excellent so I purchased this one, I think written for doctors. It is excellent, incredibly complete....I used it to suggest treatments to my doctor...by far the most extensive book I have found on the medicines....JH

Dr. Robbins has once again written technical medical information in language the ordinary layman can understand and put to practical use. As a headache suffer myself, information contained in this book has helped me cope with the day to day trials of headache life. This info, coupled with what I learned in Dr. Robbins previous books, has opened my eyes and helped me understand some of the "whys" and "why nots" of certain mediations and even the medical profession itself. I recommend this book as "must reading" for the headache communuity.

The 2nd edition of this book is now available. This book had previously been reviewed as the best headache book on the market for physicians. It describes in detail all the different types of headache and dicusses all treatment and medications available. It is particularly good for what to do when nothing works. Although initially intended for physicians, this book is very understandable and readable for the patient as well. This is a "must have" for anyone suffering from headache.

Bob Briner has done an exquisite job of crafting an easily accessible, thought provoking devotional guide for men in leadership. Some of the lessons are like a shot to the solar plexus - they will startle the reader. Each day's lesson provides ample insights for reflection and prayer. Clean design includes scripture, insights, lesson and a miniscule space for a written response. An index of scripture lessons is provided, along with lined pages for notes. The book delivers on the subtitle promise: "90 proven leadership principles."

Bob Briner combines an experienced, time-tested businessman's background with an unwavering commitment to and deep knowledge of God in this devotional. I have found his practical insights very useful in living out a daily commitment to growing in my faith. I am giving this book to all my Stanford buddies! It is by far the best devotional that I have ever come across.

The approach Bob had taken in making this devotional truly reflects that kind of lifestyle that Christ would want for us to have. It has definitely centered my attention and focus on how to deal with responsibility, leadership, attitude, and willingness to make a change. I encourage readers to purchase this book and share it with those in the leadership role.

Enjoy!

Read the first two chapters of Midnight in Monaco here:

A tremendously funny and sad came-of-age narrative that recalls the hearty, chaotic family fictions of Richard Russo and Ralph Lombreglia, with the cold steel screams of Thom Jones or Denis Johnson lurking in the basement. Sheppard is a pitiless observer of all the foibles that make up the wasted lives of the small among us, yet he arranges these bits of madness in graceful, unexpected forms.

"Midnight in Monaco" is a screwball Florida fairy tale. It's a frolic through a kitschy circus-flavored world where lawyers are also tarot card readers and Ninja assassins; where a red-headed dwarf shouts "Auto Zone!" every morning; and where the sun pops up over the horizon "like a banana-flavored Moon Pie."

The characters--including a grill cook philosopher insomniac, a con man who schemes to freeze his wife's head after her death so she can live in future times, and a grandmother (called "Grandmom") who is retired from the circus where she had a knife-toss-at-little-doggies-act--are so vigorously eccentric that you shake your head and ask yourself, "What the hell was that?"

I read this book before reading the other 3 in the quartet, and I absolutely loved it. It made reading the others irresistible, and yet I believe this third edition is the best. The love stories are incredibly deep and diverse, and Durrell's writing is both beautiful and inspiring.
Mountolive is an Englishman working with the Foreign Service who comes to know his Dionysian self in the humidity and turmoil of early 20th century Egypt. He falls in love with his married hostess, and this relationship leaves him capable of loving only one woman and one place. The other notable couples portray a stunning array of what drives people toward love. A desire for power drives Justine and Nessim together as it does much more subtlely in the vignette about Amaril and Semira. This book stands out on its own but leaves you dying to find out more about these rich characters.

Poor Mountolive. This is a tale of his rise to success and his parallel loss of being able to respond humanely, and his ultimate debasement. In addtion, Durrell continues to remove layers of the Alexandrian social web: Justine's motivations are different again. I worry that they will change again in the last of the series. Motivations for love continue to be explored. I wish I had started a list when I started reading these books of all the different nuances of love and various motivations. It really has made me think.

If you read the first two of the quartet, you cannot afford to miss this installment. It really helps you understand the mysteries. Of course, Durrell continues in his mastery of the language. Descriptions continue to be lush.

Mountolive is a welcome new point of view on the events, after Justine and Balthazar. It helped me put things together before I read Clea. I can even say that I found it 'refreshing'. Next time I read The Quartet (and I surely will), I might begin with this book.
