The Love Killer realisticaly portrays the struggle of one teenage girl looking for the love she's never had. From one failed relationship to another, Krystal finally finds what she's looking for but it isn't in the arms of any boyfriend.

I really loved this book. Not only does it deliver a solid message, but it shows how the forces and heaven and hell are in constant battle, and earth is the field. Plus it features a great LD debate (I'm a debater). And I also like the chapter summeries where you can get the author's feelings and statistics. Overall- I would recommend this to any teen!

Not much more info than available in "Climbing Anchors," by John Long. Mainly more pictures of various anchors. If you have a basic understanding of anchors, you can get away with not having this book.

This book will help make you an expert in building safe, sophisticated multi-point anchors. The relative meirts of the various methods of equalizing anchors -- rope, cordelette, and sliding X -- are discussed in depth. The authors take the position that there is no such thing as a perfect anchor, and present detailed analyses, with photographs, of the pros and cons of 52 anchors. Whether you are a beginning or an advanced climber, you will find yourself reading and re-reading this text, learning something new each time.

This book is published in association with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands and the National Gallery in London. It is accompanied by a small booklet that tells the story of his life and features some of his many pictures. This is not your typical pop-up book since "Van Gogh's House" opens up into a circular four-room house. The furniture from his pictures have been transformed into 3-D pop-ups ("Van Gogh's Chair" for example). In order to bring his house to life one can play with punch-out figures that depict Van Gogh and his friends ("Joseph Roulin" for example). It is also up to you to decorate the house with Van Gogh's flowers ("Vase of Irises" for example) and his pictures. The book is approx. 4"x5" and folded out it becomes twice the size. For older children it is a unique and playful introduction to this great painter. I like it because it brings together my love for pop-up books and Van Gogh.

This book is quite charming. As reported in a previous review, the little package one receives is approximately 4" by 5". A pocket on one side contains six punch-out characters, a few punch-out items (incl. vases of flowers, pictures and a pitcher) to be placed in the rooms, and a 32-page booklet about Van Gogh and his paintings. The other side contains the pop-up book, which one opens completely so that the covers touch each other, thus making a carousel of a four-room house -- kitchen, bedroom, study and living room. You can change the pictures that are hanging or place a new work on the easel, etc.

This is a lovely item, obviously assembled by and for those who share an affection for this complex painter.

A really fun read. The perfect gift for someone who is ill or suffering, to help reignight the spark that reminds us that life is worthwhile. The variety of situations in which laughter proves to be the perfect cure is amazingly varied and fun to read. The brief format of each tale makes this a book to read when you might not feel up to heavier stories or when you might need to take breaks(the author is very concise but captures the feelings in each story). Not a nasty tale in the bunch, this author knows how to tell really funny stories. From young reader to senior citizen, no one could help loving this book.

A wonderful heartwarming collection of true stories and insights that remind us that humor can get us all through the toughest of times. An easy read that you will enjoy from the first page to the last.

As a long time Dylan fan, I try to learn about him as much as possible. Rock's greatest poet (w/ apologies to Jim Morrison fans, Dylan gets the title hands down.) is always worth examination. Some of his lyrics rank as fine poetry. This is probably the most important song writer of the second half of the 20th Century. Unfortunately, this collection is out of print but it is worthwhile to seek out. It contains many articles and interviews spanning Dylan's entire career. It includes writing by Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen and Paul McCartney among others. It is a collection of Dylan lore by Dylan's companions and cohorts. It features homages paid by many who were influenced by this great bard. Fans of Dylan would do well to read this book. It is very imformative and lends some insight into the career development of Dylan. The interviews with Ronnie Wood, Roy Orbison and Eric Clapton are revealing. It is amazing when you consider the stature of the people who were influenced and touched by Dylan. Tributes by Johnnie Cash and Bruce Springsteen also highlight the book. It is a compelling look at a man ranked as one of the 100 most important Americans of the 20th Century.

Wanted Man is a great song that Dylan wrote for Johnny Cash and an apt title for the book because Mr. Dylan has touched many lives in a deep and profound way. This book is a fun collection of articles, interviews, etc. that's often more fun and illuminating than standard biography writing. I have also looked for the 1st collection in this series, to no avail. If you like this book, also check out Bob Dylan: the Early Years, another fine collection of writings.

Edited by the late John Bauldie (killed in a helicopter crash in England after a soccer match in late 1996), founder of the popular Dylan fan magazine _The Telegraph_, this book offers some insighful comments culled from friends and acquaintances of His Bobness ranging from Bauldie himself to Ray Orbison, Patti Smith and Eric Clapton. Illustrated throughout, this book begins with anecdotes from Dylan's days at the University of Minnesota and follows his career through the early '90's. Includes fascinating "sermons" of Bob's from when he was in his Christian phase in the late '70's and early 1980's. According to Bauldie, this book is the second in a series. The first book is called _All Across The Telegraph_ but I've never been able to find it anywhere

I consider myself a well read fellow. With that in mind I say in all honesty that Moonshadow is the most moving and important books I have ever read. Having first read the story as a teen in 1985 I identified strongly with the honest story telling of the transition of boy to man. Now this volume adds to the first by adding a story of Moonshadow's adult years. It is as brilliant and moving as the first and all the more meaningful to me now as I am maturing, as well.

HOWEVER: Be WARNED! The ending of the first story, Moonshadow's jouney to awakening, has been vandalized with a rewrite. The last pages have been stained with changed dialog and excessive narration that dilute the meaning and convert a thoughtful exploration of the transendant into a parade of cliche's. I recommend this book for the additional Moonshadow tale but, to get the full value from this wonderful tale one needs to seek out the original volumes with the original text and meaning.

I am reading the reviews people wrote for this book, and I am seeing some one star reviews, and I am wondering, "What are these people thinking?" So I am here to tell you that THIS COMIC IS AMAZING! It is the best comic ever made - better than Watchmen, The Dark Knight, Cages, Sandman, Maus, Love and Rockets, etc, etc. Moonshadow surpasses them all! It is so good that it easily qualifies as a "real book" and should be required reading on College campuses across the country. I have read Moonshadow over and over during the past ten years or so, and I always enjoy it. The reviewer before me complained about the changed ending, and yes, the previous ending was better. But all we are talking about is two pages! And anyway, Moonshadow is about life and the paths we take - the ending isn't important; just how we get there. And believe me, the adventures Moonshadow, Ira, etc take before they reach their conclusion are fantastic...this is work filled with the beauty of life, and everyone alive should read this book. It is a work of art that has had a profound effect upon me, as well as many others. Find out for yourself and be amazed

As Mike Zulli said in his introduction, comics these days tend to be all frosting and no cake. Well there is an awful lot of cake in Moonshadow. It's hard to call this just a comic, because it is so damned ambitious. The formidable talents of both writer and artist are stretched to the maxx here. What first drew me too Moonshadow was the art of course, comics being a visual medium. I just opened to a random page and was amazed by the artwork. The watercolors lend a certain woozy, dreaminess to the comic that complements the writing style nicely. The illustrations by themselves would make the comic worth buying, but there is so much more. It is the tale of a young boy's journey to manhood. I know it doesn't sound too original but the writer, John DeMatteis, puts a spin on it. He uses the whole galaxy as his playground. Moonshadow certainly isn't a sci-fi story, but there are a lot of aliens and spaceships. It seemed to me that the writer was using the universe and everything in it as metaphors and literary devices. Earth just wan't big enough to encompass the story of Moonshadow, so DeMatteis expanded his horizons a billion fold and threw the readers into outer space. While it is a very literate story, Moonshadow doesn't talk down to it's readers. DeMatteis isn't afraid to get down and dirty. Though vulgar and raunchy at times, this is offset by moments of heart-breaking beauty. Moonshadow is both smart and funny. It's one of those stories that you don't quite get right away. But you know it's wonderful anyway. And the more you think about it, the more sense it makes, and the more special it becomes.

In his book, John Morris offers lots of amusing baseball anecdotes and one or two touching if maudlin family stories. However I have never seen so many spelling errors in one book (a short book at that!) in my life. Too bad.

From the grind of the minor leagues to the thrill of playing in the World Series...John Morris knows baseball extemely well-having played 12 years with the Cardinals, Phillies and Angels. In his first book "Bullet Bob Comes to Louisville" Morris demonstrates a surprising strong talent as a writer and storyteller. The strength of his book comes from his ability to take his baseball experiences and interweave them with themes of everyday life. In his short story format (22 stories over a nine-inning game) Morris displays a wonderful balance of baseball humor, behind the scenes insight, and sensitive family issues relating to life and death. This book moves very quickly- which made it that much more enjoyable for me. (I read it from cover to cover in one sitting)Go buy it for yourself and your friends. You won't be disappointed!

As a former teammate of Johnny Mo's, with the Cardinals and Phillies, I vividly recall many of the events he describes in his stories. These stories bring back so many memories - precious memories of the joys and pains experienced on the trek to become a major leaguer. I knew Johnny Mo was a great teammate and an outstanding individual, but I did not know he was such a wonderful storyteller! I could not put the book down. If you want a glimpse at the life of a baseball player - the life you never see on TV or in the movies, read this book.

THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER is a good book. The author Mark Twain writes about a boy named Tom Sawyer together with his friends, Joe Harper and Huck Finn, go on awseome adventures.

Tom Sawyer faces a lot of problems and troubles that the average boy takes on. For instance, he faces girls and experiences love; he one day meets a girl named Becky Thatcher and really falls for her. He also faces boys in fights. He likes to tease, is rowdy, and is just plain naugthy. But there are some things that they face that the average boy won't dare take on. Like the adventure to the cemetery where he and his friend witness something and do some detective work. Another is when they all run away to a distant place. See how it all turns out. The last adventure is when Tom and his friend Becky Thatcher gets trapped in a cave with the town's most wanted man.
Read to see how they survive.

This book is interesting. I invite you to read it.

This book, considered one of the classics of American Literature, tells the story of Thomas Sawyer, a mischievous boy who gets in many troubles and adventures together with his friends Huckleberry Finn, Joe Harper, and his beloved girlfriend from school, Becky Thatcher.

Tom lives with his aunt Polly, his sister Mary and his well-behaved younger brother Sid, who always sneaks on him. He is a very playful and imaginative kid, whose games of pirate and Indian sometimes go far beyond the limits of imagination and take a much more real stance.

Mark Twain explores Tom's mind as a child, exposing its dreams and weaknesses, taking the reader back to his childhood memories and making this book a must-read classic for all ages.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a wonderful book. It is an energetic tale of a mischievious boy, based on Twain's own youth, with some fictional items thrown in. The story follows Tom Sawyer as he goes from antagonizing his Aunt Polly, to searching for treasure, from conning his peers, tohanging out with his best friend Huckleberry Finn. His life changes dramaticaly though when he and Huck witness the brutal murder of a man by a notorious lawbreaker. The lawbreaker, an Indian named Joe, blames the murder on the town drunk, Muff Potter. Can Tom go against his oath with Huck to stay quiet, and proves Muff's innocence? Or will he keep quiet and send Muff to his death, just to safe himself from the murderous Injun Joe? You will have to read the book to find out!
In my opinion, this is one of the greatest books ever written. Mark Twain has a way of describing the intricacies of childhood behavior so that kids know what he is saying, and also at the same time, he can describe the same in an adult, refined, manner so that grown ups can fully comprehend what is going on. If you have not read this book yet, you are truly missing out on a well written classic. This novel has been read for over 100 years, and I believe that it shall be read for another 100 years.

Don't expect to find a football book you can use exclusively from the rest. This is a good supplement to books like "The Pro Football Encyclopedia" (by Maher/Gill). If you're into statistics this is one of the best to have. Whereas "Pro Football Encyclopedia" has players longest gains, which this book doesn't, this book gives you kickoff and punt return stats for all players, the encyclopedia doesn't. This book is mainly about the NFL. I bought it for the statistics. It's also a good book to use if you want to find out more about a specific player (statistically speaking). Chapters like "The 25 Most Memorable Regular Season Games" and "The 300 Greatest Players" etc.. are not what I got this book for. I would prefer a book that leaves out author's opinions. I've seen games I'll never forget that I knew wouldn't make the list and also players. Although these chapters are somewhat interesting along with others I could live without half this book easily but like I said, it's a good season by season individual stat book that has information other books don't. It mainly depends on what you're buying this book for. There are statistics here excluded from other books but there are stats left out that ARE in other books, like blocked punts for instance, which may not seem to matter to most, but it all depends on what you're buying it for. It has stats other books don't, that's what I bought it for.

This is a reference book, and a darn good one, but they could have trimmed a couple of hundred pages of heft by leaving out the a lot of the subjective content. For example their list of the best 300 players of all time is pure opinion, albiet educated opinion. The section on strategy was outdated almost as soon as it was printed.

That's a minor complaint, though. I use it extensively in research for the book I'm writing. Its guide to the stadiums that teams have used over the years is by far the best, most complete out there (although, another small criticism, they could have summarized the info in a table for quicker reference)

Clearly not for the casual fan, but a great arguement settler for the serious football fan.

This book is a must have for all serious football fans. It is the most complete one volume source of information about professional football.

My favorite sections include:

History of the game: The introductory essays on the history of pro football and the complete histories of each team is fascinating and an important context for many of the conventions and the culture of today's game.

History of players: Not only is there a complete roster of every player who has ever played in the National Football
League and it's antecedents, there are more detailed biographies of the "500 greatest players" as determined by the panel of writers responsible for this encyclopedia.

Complete game summaries of and statistics for all the playoffs, Super Bowls, and most important games in league history: I personally found this the most nostalgic reading, as I could remember where I was and who I was watching the playoffs and Super Bowls with.

And much, much more -- some more mundane (essays on player equipment) and some more interesting (history of defunct leagues like the United States Football League (USFL)).

I do have two complaints about the encyclopedia -- one minor and one a glaring omission.

My minor complaint is that they need a better copy editor. I found many typos, especially the detailed information about playoffs and Super Bowls.

My major complaint is that is has a woefully incomplete section detailing the individual records (most rushing yards in a game, etc.) which is a terrible omission. I can find a more complete listing of individual and team records in a sports almanac. A book purporting to be TOTAL FOOTBALL shouldn't need a companion book to round it out and have all the facts one might want at hand. I strongly recommend they improve on this in the next volume.

This book talks about the change in Superman and the problems that he has with all the changes. It is fun to read if you want something to do.

As a fan and Superman "wanna-be" most of my life, the thought of his Tansformation was a touch troubling to me. You just can not change Superman. It was ludicrous. Then I picked up the book. After reading it, I read it again. He was still the same hero, just a new suit. Reading it was like being a kid again. Remembering the daydreams wishing I could fly, deflect bullets or run "super" fast. If you love the old Superman you will love the new one.

I stopped collecting Superman comics for a few years and when a friend brought me up to date, I realized that I'd missed quite a lot. I was most curious about Superman's transformation. So, he recommended that I buy this book. I really liked the entire story. It was great. The new Superman actually had more offensive power instead of defensive. I was very pleased with this book. However, there were three drawbacks. 1) It was a little confusing, so I had to read it twice. 2) It skips 3 months in between the two parts of the book, so there are a few references in the second half of the book, which I didn't understood and 3) after buying some of the original comics which made up this TPB, I realized that they skipped some pages which didn't contribute to the Transformation storyline. But, it was a really great read, overall and I highly recommend it to any Superman fan, active or once was active.
