This book in the Lone Wolf series is particularly good, a standout from the others because of the action contained within- the books of this series must be read in order from book 1 in order to get the full jist, but a huge satisfaction can be attained by just reading one, especially this one. YOU are Lone Wolf, one of the few pitted vs. the evil who are many, and you pick your own adventure throughout this adventure-onwards to the Dungeons of Torgar where the Lorestones of Nyxator await-and the salvation of the known world of Magnamund! Pick up this book and the rest in the series!

This is one of the greatest books in the Lone Wolf series. The whole story is excellent, and has a really surprising ending. The Dungeons of Torgar is definitely worth your money.

This review is for the entire Lone Wolf series. The book series Lone Wolf is a great RPG themed series. It allows you to choose your own path and fight battles in a simple method! If you like RPG, then you will love these books! Thats why I do!

I thought that it was a very good book because my grandpa is scotty McDonald and i never got to see him cause he died in 1970's i m only 13 so it told things about him i never new.

I red it's chinese version , it is greatest book I ever red about sports, it helped me a lot during my childhood,it is a serious biography of Connie hawkins, in spit of the translator may not a sports pro or basketball fan,I still can feel the atmosphere of his world and make me understand this kind of sports better and deeper.

This excellent book may be the finest sports book ever written. Filled to the brim with compassion, it also shows the seedier side of sports and the manipulation of the athlete, particularly that of the black inner-city athlete. A must purchase for the serious basketball historian. I was turned on to this book by my oder brother, Marshall, maybe the best read person in the country, save William F. Buckley. I digress. I can still see Connie on the cover of the book with that watch that is about 6 inches wide, and his hands. Hands that made the ball look like a tennis ball.

This was a very good biography of Frank Costello. In addition you also recieved a good history of organized crime.This book
tells of Costello's leadership role in the Mafia. You are taken through bootlegging.the gambling empires that were built by
organized crime as well as the House un-American activities
hearings. The author also gives you good insight into the attempted murder of Costello by rival forces.You also get a good insight into Bugsy Seigel,Meyer Lansky, and other prominent

figures in organized crime. This isn actually a very good book.
Read it.

There has been much attention focused on this book in the last year or so. First Harold Ramis, noted "Prime Minster of the Underworld" as inspiration for his mob picture, "Analyze This". Then I read where former CBS President Tom Leahy along with Norman Twain obtained an option to do the book as a movie. It made me go out and get a copy. I was not disapointed! "Prime Minister" is the sort of book that isn't written much anymore. It is done with elan' and the subject, Frank Costello, the "capo di capo" is treated with great dignity. It is a dignity that Costello strove for in life, even as he headed an organized crime family. Costello's attorney wrote this book with the outstanding author Joseph DiMona. Together they weave an adventurous tale of an immigrant who through the din of will, grit and native intellect rose to the top of the "Cosa Nostra". Costello preferred negotiations to violence and acted as the Mob's peacemaker. "Prime Minister of the Underworld" presents a man of fundamental decency, ambivalent about life as a mobster, yet one of the most successful gangsters. It is this riddle, this internal contradiction that makes Costello compelling and drives this story. Wolf and DiMona display great restraint, they let the action speak for itself and there is not a moment gratutitous violence or moralizing. So complex is Costello's character that it needs no adornment and will bear no easy analyzation. What emerges is a clean portrait of an everyman as killer. George Wolf and Joe DiMona fashioned one of the great mob books of all time. A book as subtle and powerful as its' topic.

I enjoyed the first section on his childhood which was all new to me. But what I really enjoyed was the second section on the bootlegging days. It went into more detail than I could have asked for on how he set it up and even gave some detail on some of the gun fights men like Bugsy Seigel got into. I would have liked the book better if this section would have been a lot bigger. The rest of the book was good too and supplied an interesting theory on Lucky Luciano's infamous ride but didn't go into any real detail on how he ran and operated the crime family it focused more on his personal businessess. All in all interesting (especially the bootlegging section) and a fairly good story. I recommend at least giving it a try.

This story provides a way for children and parents alike to put in simple terms the complex feelings which arise with chronic illnesses and disorders. For children too young to discuss their feelings, this book voices the fears they cannot express with words. I recommend this book to all children who must face illness, whether it be chronic or temporary.

Henry and the White Wolf is an extraordinary fable and a must-read for families with, and without, young loved ones who are ill. Beautifully written and illustrated, this magical little story offers hope and healing for children undergoing difficult medical procedures. The accompanying smooth pebble and the book are treasures to be held onto in time of sickness and in health. Enjoy this enchanting tale of strength, hope, and dignity.

Beautifully illustrated story that moves the soul. This book fills your heart with joy. It's not only for sick children but any child that is enduring a difficult time in his or her life, like the sickness of a sibling, freind, parent or close one. I highly recommned this book to anyone that is able to read or is able to be read to, while experiencing the uncertainty of being ill.

Molly Wolf finds the supernatural in the very natural events of daily living, finds it very well and expresses it very beautifully. Her weekly essays are delivered by e-mail, and a year's worth has been collected here. Rejoice that she has a multi-book contract with a major publisher, and her writing only gets better. You can access sabbath-blessings@justus.anglican.org for information on how to subscribe to the weekly essay/sermons.

I have never been a reader of religious works. But Hiding in Plain Sight opened my heart to reflection on how God's wisdom and teaching come into play in life. It is decidedly non-technical, non-preachy, and at the same time lyrical and down to earth. Its audience will span those, like me, tentative and searching, to those well-versed in traditional theology. Reading it is a joy.

Every Saturday, several hundred members of an internet list called Anglican eagerly anticipate the arrival in their computer mailboxes of a "Sabbath Blessing" by Molly Wolf. Since 1995 she has posted one such essay each week -- a gift of generosity born of an exquisite sensitivity to the presence of the divine in the midst of the ordinary.

"Hiding in Plain Sight" presents several dozen of these short pieces. They are unpretentious and grounded in the ordinary, but they fairly glisten with an awareness of how an immanent God breaks into everyday life in rural Canada, where work, children, mud in the spring, and talks around the kitchen table are the regular fare.

Her pieces may begin with a walk near a saltwater marsh at low tide or a sense that the spring thaw is imminent and a torrent on its way, a piece of raw wool or a visit from the plumber. Wolf's great gift is to see God's presence in regular life, to interpret ordinary things and events as transparent windows to the holy.

Although never saccharine and always unblinkingly honest about human failing and the perpetual attempt to run away from grace, Wolf nevertheless opens her readers' eyes again and again to the startling sense that no matter what, it's all right here, right now -- the Kingdom of God is here, hiding in plain sight.

In the two millennia of our Christian faith, giants of the church have kept the institution alive and defined its orthodoxies, celebrated its sacraments and built its great cathedrals as shapers of tradition and guardians of right belief. Yet through this great tapestry of time and faith, there always weaves a bright thread of saints and mystics whose devotion is never primarily institutional or mediated by authority or even bounden duty, but by responding in gratitude and joy to a God who insists on revealing himself in a milkweed plant or an afternoon's work picking suet for plum puddings, who persists in redeeming by love the bleakest situations we can contrive for ourselves, and who invites us to know transcendence in the here and now.

Molly Wolf lives in that tradition and writes out of an almost Franciscan vision and as if with her friends in mind. The publication of *Hiding in Plain Sight* should gain her many, many more who will lean over and look through her window and see her glimpse of the Kingdom, visible just over there where some deep ruts left by heavy machinery are dry-caked, where from "this life... this rutted path (both of body and of mind)" we are transported to "a shoreline in the sky. Another country, beautiful and almost within reach."

[This review by Connie Jones appears in the upcoming issue of COVENANT, Nashville, Tenn.]

This book is extremely practical in every area. Tha main focus of the book is how to fight fair and how to love to the extreme.
One of the best things about it is that you can pick it up and put it down at any time and not feel as if you have lost out. Every page is packed with advice, humor and life stories. it should appeal to every type of reader.

I nearly lost a 10 year relationship due to my stubborness and ignorance. A friend gave me this book and The RoMANtic's Guide and I got a good understanding on how to have a happy relationship.

I lost a relationship to constant bickering. That will never happen again. There are so many tips, so much humor, and so much hope in this book that I know my relationships are safe from now on. If you love your partner and you want to keep her, get this book.

Miss Vaughn is a terrific writer. My question here is if these books in the Dreamscape series are not the same books that were released earlier under the Shadow imprint.

I found this book years ago in a Kroger book section. And since that time, I've re-read it a thousand times. There is nothing more wonderful than the play between Rand and Sylvie. Rand is the hero I believe most women would love to find, whether physically, or someone as fun to be around. The Wiccan elements are wonderful. Having been in the Craft for over 20 years, I can give the author a great thumbs up for telling the truth about witches.

As for the Deloup House, I wish often there was such an attraction in Lousiana - and that when I visited it, Rand would be there.

A must for all of you wanting humor, horror, a strong female lead, and a beautiful hero - read Waiting for the Wolf Moon!!

This was an incredible book - I read it in 1 day - I could not put it down!

If you're looking for a collection of very basic, introductory, not-too-complicated French dishes, this is it. So far, results are good. It is a heavy soft cover book and the binding is not holding up very well. The front cover came unglued soon after delivery.

The other reviewers are 1-0-0-% right! This is the best cookbook I have ever used. Almost everything I made from it came out delicious and worth repeating. Highly recommended. I would take any other books of Clements and Wolf-Cohen that were available.

Chef friends gave this to me as a birthday present because of my love of Paris & French food and it's blown me away. In the first few weeks after getting it, I must have tried 12-13 recipes. Each was fun to make and not too complicated (though there was some "à la minute" running around) and each was delicious. They even looked like the pictures. The photos are not just mouth-watering, they're very helpful for intermediate steps, as are the Tips. I find this book beautiful, engaging, encouraging and a real treasure. Give this to anyone you know who's talked about learning how to cook French food but felt intimidated.

Normally I wouldn't call non-fiction "entertaining," but Phillip Wolf does a great job telling of the struggles facing a home that welcomes in a child with congential heart disease. I laughed in many places at the antics of Phil and his friends, and I cried in many others. Even knowing how things had to end ahead of time, I still kept hoping for a miracle. An outstanding performance by this author.

God Gave Us A Promise: The Story of a Little Fighter by Phillip Wolf is the candid and intimate testimony of his own family when an infant son was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Their son's diagnosis changed their lives as the cruel realities of this devastating condition forced them to trust in love, God's faith, and the essence of human compassion to survive the difficult choices ahead. A powerful and profoundly moving remembrance, God Gave Us A Promise is remarkable and recommended reading.

Guaranteed to make you want to hold your kids a little tighter. Told with raw emotion and an unblinking eye. Should be very helpful to any parent whose child has this complication, and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book go to the Loma Linda University Children's Hospital Fund.

laure-anne bosselaar is one of the most gifted and moving poets of the past twenty years. seeing her read at Stockton College in December of 1999, I was moved to tears during more than one of her poems. "My Little Sisters of Love and Misery," for example, evokes a beauty and pain that is both striking and poignant for it's attention to detail and lack of self-pity. She speaks for the women who cannot speak for themselves, to the people in her life that she must forgive to survive, and to the world, she gives her unique view of love and laughter. her brilliance lies in the important fact that she never feels the need to sacrifice her sense of humor to get at the tragedy of life, because she realizes they are often one and the same.

when i met ms. bosselaar, she pinched my cheek and called me "dear poetry sister." it spoke volumes about the kind of person and writer that she is. here's hoping she continues to bless us with her unique gift.

These compelling narratives span post WWII Europe to contemporary USA -- the speaker, raised in a convent in Europe traces her life in the cruel environment of the convent to her married life here in this country. The poems are of daily life -- its joys and horrors. They are generous poems, long and meandering. They are accessible, always. Funny, sweet, scary and sumptuous.

Bosselaar's collection is electric. These narratives, often harrowing, speak the stories of many characters. The geographic and emotional terrain of this book is panoramic. This is a book of narratives that speed down the page and take the reader on one hell of a ride.
