No other book on Crohn's or UC can even compare-INFORMATIVE
This is truly the book to have if your child has Crohn's. I wish that this book would have available when this whole ordeal started with my daughter (then 10 years old). It truly explains soooooo many things, In a nut shell this is the book to have, initially it may even give you more information then you are prepared to handle, but when you're ready, the information is there for your reading and using. A MUST HAVE BOOK!!

Excellent Guide to Crohn's and colitis for Parents
Every parent of a child with Crohn's or UC should have a copy of this indispensible guide. This book, recently published in coordination with the CCFA, is the first dedicated solely to the needs of children and teens with IBD and their families. It is separated into three sections: diagnosis, treatment, and living with the disorder. It contains a glossary of medical terms, a resources section, and a number of positive statements from children with IBD. Highly recommended for parents!

This book was exactly what our family needed at diagnosis.
This book was given to us when our daughter,age 10, was diagnosed with Crohns summer of '98. Her Doctor gave it to us on our first visit. I strongly suggest any parent in this similar situation needs this book. My head was spinning I had questions, at least I thought I did, I was confussed. This book helped me get a handle on what was going on, what treatments were presently available,and how we would survive and move on. I just can't say enough about this book. It is really reader friendly and that is important when you are in a new situation like this.

It's like looking at someone's scrapbook
Very fun "scrap book" from figure skating's greatest! Kristi shares her life from childhood to present. What I really like is how she talks of her Japanese heritage. Very recommended.

How to make a young person happy
I presented Kristi's book to the nine-year-old daughter of a friend of mine, and the look on her face was one of pure joy. Enough said.

Basically, it's a kid's book. Use a dive slate!
serious divers will likely think this complex system is pretty silly. A slate works really well. But for kids, or for a few basic communiques, the book has some good signals. It would take a good knowledge of the marine creatures before the signals would make sense. It does go far beyond the simple hand signals from your PADI classes. It would be a neat gift to give a Junior Open Water graduate.

A great introduction to communicating underwater
A great book for someone who is new to the diving experience. Great visuals.

Toadkiller Dawg says: A tasty snack at a full meal price.
The Sea Devils is a comprehensive look at sahuagin physiology, psychology, history and society. Each subject is covered in just the right amount of detail with plenty of useful tidbits and interesting facts that ought to be useful in any campaign based in a coastal area and especially those that revolve around maritime pursuits. Rules for sahuagin weaponry and combat are included as is a sample sahuagin village. Although there are several references to information given in the "Of Ships and the Sea" supplement, The Sea Devils appears to be capable of standing alone and does have a section that gives handy rules for underwater campaigning. The book includes a poster that shows the relative appearances and sizes of various members of the sahuagin race and other creatures of the sea.

The material itself rates four stars, at least. The text could use with slightly better organization, some of the details are scattered through the text rather than being collected under a single heading and way too much space is spent on fake NPC sages mysteriously commenting on various sahuagin theories and facts rather than just presenting the material in a more straightforward manner.

The biggest drawback to this product, however, is that it is terribly overpriced for the volume of information it contains. After reading through the first dozen pages or so, one realizes that there is a terrific number of really big illustrations, sidebars full of pseudo-NPC drivel, redundant information and filler like "sahuagin often use poison in combat, but that will be covered in chapter 7". The margins are wide, the type is large and there is a disconcerting amount of just plain blank space, sometimes right in the middle of the page. The format resembles something you might expect from someone assigned to write a 20-page essay, but stuck with only 12 pages of material. The supplement checks in at 96 pages, but any competent editor could reduce the page count by a half, if not more.

The Sea Devils contains very useful gaming material, but nobody should be paying full price for a half-empty book. It is highly recommended, but only if you can get it at a discount.

Who wants more?
This is the greatest source you can find from TSR about under water campaings! Every little detail required for an underwater adventure. I can recommend this book if you are going deep!
