The Very Real Ghost Book of Christina Rose
The Very Real Ghost Book of Christina Rose is about a girl named Christina and her twin brother Danny. Christina and Danny's mom died in a plane crash when they were only three years old. Christina, Danny, and their dad move from their old home in New York to a pink house in California. Christina thinks about ghosts a lot. Many strange things happen and Christina thinks they are being caused by ghosts.
I liked this book because it involves ghosts. I also like this book because I like the characters' personalities.
The message the author is trying to share is that when you have troubles, you can get over them. I think this because Christina has lots of troubles but she gives them time and she talks them out with friends and family so she can get over them.

excellent
This was such a good book, that I couldn't put it down. It was very well written, except for the very end. It stopped such abruptly that I wondered if there was another part to the story. Still, I recommend this book, and I do think that there should be a second "Very Real Ghost Book of Christina Rose".

From the Not-So-Private Files of Ghost Hunters I.N.K.
When 10-year-old Christina Rose and her family (her father and twin brother, Danny) move to North Klondike, California, from New York, she wasn't expecting to move into a haunted house--or have her mother's ghost follow them. So, being a somewhat eccentric child (she claims to have Ghost Radar), Christina starts a ghost club called Ghost Hunters I.N.K. (In North Klondike) and sets out to uncover the truth about the unexplained events in her new house, with the help of her neighbors: Roberto Wing, his psychic mother, and Professor Imogen Barrymore, a parapsychologist.

"The Very Real Ghost Book of Christina Rose" is a great book for preteens who are into the paranormal. It doesn't rely heavily on overused ideas about ghosts, such as white sheets, moaning noises, or murderous spirits. Instead, Christina documents "real" ghost stories, as told from her friends and family--with black and white illustrations--to make the book seem more believable.


Shunt Book
Published in Paperback by Blackwell Science Inc (15 January, 1995)
Authors: James M. Drake and Christian Sainte-Rose
Amazon base price: $39.95
Average review score:

very technical
This book is primarily for neurosurgeons and other medical professionals. Too technical for parents, educators, etc

excellent! layman's terms for understanding hydro./shunts
I am an adult with hydro. and ever since reading The Shunt Book - I always recommend it to new parents or newly dx'd patients. I am an Executive Director of a non-profit group (National Hydrocephalus Foundation), and I can't think of a greater help to those who need it, besides what I can verbally provide to them. Many of us who have hydro. call this book "our bible."

great, from the doctors' point of view
For the clinician, Drs Drake and Sainte-Rose have produced a simple and easy to read book explaining the use of shunts, and the complications that arise from using them. It is handbook that will help the general practitioner who has patients with hydrocephalus, and is a must for neurosurgical trainees.

usmle step 2: by rose S. Fife, et al
This book is written so simple and I think the writer had no idea about the type of questions appear on USMLE step 2. questions are strait forward, explanations are so brief. I compare this book to NMS review Q and ACE the board step 3 and A&L Goldberg multiple Q for the step 2.

great help for the boards
this book is concise, intuitive, and very usmle oriented. great for foreing grads and even graduates of this country.


The Case of Peter Pan, Or, the Impossibility of Children's Fiction (Language, Discourse, Society)

Deocorum Please
Jacqueline Rose has done some serious scholarship in literary criticism, but this work is dubious, at best. I'm not sure why she misses the mark so poorly in this extended essay on the link between children's fiction and the publishing industry. But the work is very un-focused and rather trite. The approach is a bit dated, and I can imagine that perhaps the book is more an extended discourse on the theoretical apparatus that she seems to be enamored with rather than a solid interpretation of Peter Pan. The book is really an odd one, and it left me feeling so disgusted that I did not wish to finish the tome. Although, the other reviewers are a bit too vituperative in their critique, this book really strikes me as somewhat immature.

Odd Treatment of Old Genre
Rose's analysis is dubious. She attempts to make the claim that Barrie created a new genre of fantasy with the publication of Peter Pan. The problem is that Barrie's books about Peter Pan are actually components of a genre well-studied and documented for hundreds of years. Even a cursory read of scholarship in folklore would have clearly demonstrated to Rose that Peter Pan is a Marchen, a genre of folklore in which a poor, obscure hero is called to complete acts of bravery in a land of fantasy and magic. There are numerous other problems with her analysis. Even reading this study as an essay on contemporary social issues is a confusing exercise, at best, because Rose's style tends to obfuscate rather than to provide any semblance of clarity. Sorry to be so critical of literary criticism, but incoherence and bad writing simply do not belong in scholarly discourse.

Worst Book Ever
I am a high school student and I am not ashamed to say that i have an affinity for children's literature, particularly english, such as Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter (all of them), and especially PETER PAN. This literature contains a magic that this author proceeds to bash at every chance she gets. I mean, are children supposed to read about oil spills and war? Preserve the magic of childhood people!
