Marcha acelerada y cuento grandioso
La protagonista de este misterio es una abogada de la fiscalía, recién enviudada, y bien simpática. Ella tiene que enfrentar su "sueño" de una mujer muerta, la pérdida de una conocida dulce, y problemas de la salud, mientras intenta resolver una investigación. La marcha acelerada de esta novela mantiene el interés. Los caracteres son bien desarrollados y distintos. Hay de todo - los atentos, los rectos, los prepotentes, y los verdaderos peligrosos. ¡Una historia magnifica y un libro bien escrito!

My Boys got a kick out of this!
This story is a delight. Rodney, the big brother is scared of monsters being in his room. The hero ends up to be the baby brother, Sidney, who can cry so loud that even a monster would be to afraid to come in their room. Both my five year old and eight year old son really enjoyed this story about brothers. My boys share a room, so the oldest kept asking if his little brothers helped to scare the monsters out of their room with his crying. They both, of course, know there is no such thing as monsters but even so they liked pretending that they could scare them off by having a baby cry real loud. The pictures are a little frightening, but all in all it is a fun book to be shared with siblings.

The Okapi: Mysterious Animal of Congo-Zaire
The okapi was discovered in 1901 and is sometimes called the forest giraffe. Little was known about it until recently; it lives in the rainforest of the Democratic Republic of Congo (previously known as Zaire). The okapi is very unique and only about 200 are found in captivity; wild populations are threatened. This is the first book in English about this endangered species. The book brings together all that is known about the okapi in a very readable format and is illustrated with lovely drawings by one of the authors. The book is introduced by renowned scientist Dr. Jane Goodall; ALL royalties are used in the country of Congo-Zaire to preserve the rainforest, the okapi and all the other plants and animals which call this place home.

Like speaking to your grandpa about his garden
I found this book to be not only entertaining, but informative. It is a tour of the midwest and its vegetable gardners. Within the authors' investigation of the various gardens he finds are slices of each gardner's life and their views on the world. Each personality is shown through the garden, from a man who live in a shack and swears to letting his vegetable vines ramble wildly, to an older man who drives from his home to his plot with percise neat rows. It is also a nice compilation of gardening tips that read like a conversation with an old-timer. While reading you can almost picture these people, sitting before you and pointing out the potato bugs on the leaf, or letting the soil fall through their fingers, harvesting tomatoes, ect . . . I recommend this book because it shows pretty much why we are drawn to plant our own crops and watch them grow.

Rising Summer
This was the first Mary Jane Staples book I ever read and now I have collected all of them and am eagerly awaiting her next novel. It is so refreshing to read a lively novel that is realistic but at the same time has no sex or bad language in it. The characters are lively but with a sense of cosiness - the type of people who I would love to know. I have visited Walworth in South London where many of her books are set and was delighted to find that many of the street still exist, including East Street market. Now I feel that I can really relate to the characters and understand their backgrounds.

Surgical Nursing 2nd Ed.
This book was a good text book, the quality of my professor helped a great deal, lots of good pictures to compliment the text. For me it was easy to read because I love biology, and anatomy. Further more the book was laid out in a fashion such that learning was easy.


Tempest And Sunshine (Notable American Authors)

Two sisters, light and dark.
One of the most common returning themes in Mary J. Holmes novels is that of two sisters-- one of whom is superficially more beautiful but is selfish and cold-hearted while the second sister is less beautiful but is warm and giving. _Tempest and Sunshine_ makes that struggle central to its plot by pitting the sweet and guileless Fanny against her scheming sister Julia.

Most reminiscent of _Bad Hugh_, _Tempest and Sunshine_ continues the Holmes tradition of slightly skewing the expected storyline. Julia isnÂ't all bad, and the way that she is isnÂ't all her own fault either. Holmes resists the temptation to paint in black and white while making the bad guys still clear enough to be satisfying.

Be aware that the book was set in pre civil-war south and it engages in some possibly unpleasant apologies for slavery. This is in line with needing to paint her heroines as good no matter where they were from. Interesting because she canÂ't keep her own uneasiness completely out of the pages on the subject.
