I liked the book because it was funny. They also did a play of the Wizard Of Oz. This boy named Jacob secretly likes this girl named Maria Tresser. One of the funny parts is when Jacob is running and he trips and falls on Maria Tresser. It was funny because he trips on his shoelace on the pritiest girl in school.
one of the bad things is when you know that the girl in the story is going to say yes to go on a date. It is always boring when they live happily ever after. Why fdoesn't the story ever end in a sad ending or something. If I were you I would rent it first before I buy it because, it is only about 85 pages and 14 chapters long. Your kids might like it.

It's been a while since I read this, but I can remember reading it, and then rereading it, and then reading it again. This book is a one-afternoon book. You sit down and start reading, and then you finish the book without getting up. The main charachter is a reclusive boy who avoids other people, which is hard because he goes to school. You hear a lot about his popular model-in-training sister, and the lady who poured warm oil...
Pretty funny and an engaging read. Kind of corny in spots though.

The book is funny. It's about a shy boy the never likes to talk to anyone or be noticed. He's flunking english and has to work on the set of The Wizard of Oz to get extra credit.Every morning he times it just right to enter school un- noticed. At the end of this book, he puts to much fog into fog machine and fills the whole auditorium with fog, and gets a date with a girl.

i think it is a good book like all the lonewolf

This was about my third gamebook and up till then I was bored silly by other pretenders. I found this book simply brilliant and still read it 7 years later. It has a range of excitement going from nerve racking nail-biting stuff to simply lunch time relaxed reading. The characters are of Hercules proportions and have in depth feel as if you were there in that day and age.

The LoneWolf series created by Joe Dever are probably the best fighting fantasy books ever written. The book #2 that is Fire on water is far better than the first one Flight from the Dark. Book #1 was too easy and short ,it took me about 40 minutes to finish it but it took me more time to finish book #2 that's just because it's much better than the first one. You'll become immediately addicted when you start reading the book, there are so many possibilities in different kinds of environment. I read it over and over again without gettting bored it's so brilliantly written. Dever takes you to a world that you are eager to explore and you won't stop until you've examined every single square feet with a magnified glass therefore I rate this book 10 it's simply the best.

The Memory Bible is just what the doctor ordered -- Dr. Gary Small, that is. It should be required reading for anyone over 25 who doesn't want to buy into the myth that memory loss is an inevitable consequence of aging. I like that he begins with a simple memory assessment that lets you focus a program of memory training that fits your needs and lifestyle. He gives practical tips on what you can do to improve your memory now, ranging from a healthy-brain diet to mental aerobics and simple stress-reduction techniques. Dr. Small's fascinating research on early detection of brain aging gives us hope that new discoveries to stave off memory loss and Alzheimer's disease are just around the corner. The sooner we read The Memory Bible and start Small's memory fitness program, the better, because it's a whole lot easier to prevent brain cell damage than reverse it. The book is fun to read and has interesting stories and case studies.

I never expected to like this book so much. It read fast and was pretty funny in parts. It gave me some good tips on how to improve my memory for names, places, numbers, etc. I learned a lot about things to do to protect against Alzheimer's disease and also about new drugs and treatments to help stop memory loss, that are available now or on the way. This is a great book, and I'm glad I read it in my 40's while I still have plenty of time to do stuff to protect my brain.

It's about time! After a string of disappointments from the the self-help section of my local bookstore I've finally found an exception: a book that actually helps. "The Memory Bible" from Dr. Gary Small delivers exactly what it promises: "a strategy to keep your brain young." Dr. Small deftly reduces a lifetime of esoteric research into a straight-ahead, easily-understood, entertaining book that explains the process of how the brain ages and what we can do to slow it down. Unlike most frivolous theories we have grown to expect from self-help books, Dr. Small's offering is rooted firmly in scientific fact and data. This is an educating and enjoyable read that speaks equally to both result-oriented and process-oriented people while delivering that one intangible that ironically we have come not to expect from books of it's kind: Help.

As comic books go, Gary Larson's "The Far Side" series of books is one of the best ever in my humble opinion. "The Chickens Are Restless" is one of his best. The drawings and the captions he comes up with for his drawings, they are just hilarious! Especially when they have to do with animals, which is what most of the comic strips in this book have to do with. I wish he hadn't decided to stop this career. And here's hoping he comes back real soon!

Mutinous canines, alien-spotting rednecks, dung beetles, and all the assorted occupants of the spaced-out mind of Gary Larson are here in this fun-filled compilation.

Larson is one "acquired taste" that I am glad to have developed.

Gary Larson knows how to add humor to any creature on any planet

Hatchet is a riveting book. It combines drama, comedy, and suspence all in one action pacted book. It's about a boy who ends up alone in a Canadian forest after a plane crash, and all the adventures he has. He has to learn a lot about surviving in the wilderness, including how to find food, shelter, and how to live with wild animals. He learns a lot about himself and how much heart it takes to be without everything you would normally live with. I enjoyed this book very much. Sometimes i found myself falling asleep with the book over my face because I did not want to go to sleep so i wouldn't miss an exciting event that was just around the corner. I'm going to keep reading Gary Paulsen. He is an excelent writer.

Though I read this book quite a while ago, I still remember how interesting and riviting it was. The story is intense, and draws the reader into the thoughts and emotions of Brian- the main (and practically ONLY) character that is shown. Definately a must-have!

Hatchet - an realistic survival story that is eminently well written. Gary Paulsen has comboned his own knowledge of survival and woodcraft with the easily beliavable character of Brian Robeson; the result is an award-winning novel that will not be put down until it is finished.

In this book, a father is looking for a better life for his son, Steven. Cory, the father, is making minuim wage and cannot keep a job for extended periods of time. One day, Cory decides he if tired of living this way and begins to think of ways to make money. Finally, he remembers a friend he once had. Many years ago Corey's friend began teaching the gospel. However, he did it only for the money collected in the offering. Corey decides this is the way to become rich, so Corey buys a tent and sets off with Steven to preach the Lord's word. They go to many cities throughout Texas preaching and even at times faking miracles, until Corey one night when Corey decides to finally read the bible. He picks it up and begins to read, and to Steven's surprise by the next day he is a true believer. He admits his sins to his next congregation and decides to travel preaching the word for no money at all. This is a compelling story about a lost soul that found the Lord just in time. The stories only set back is the fact that it is short and by the time you get intrested it is almost over. Thats why I gave it four stars instead of five.

Stephen and his father, Corey, live an economically poor life. One day Corey decides to become a tent revival preacher to make some money. When his efforts meet with success, Stephen and Corey enjoy a wealthy life, unlike anything they've ever known. But when Stephen's conscience starts to get to him, he is faced with a conflict between honesty and a wealthy life with his father.

This book is short and simple, especially compared to Gary Paulsen's usual fare. However, the story is not cut short at all. The outcome is convincing and uplifting. The writing is excellent, and deserves a spot on Paulsen's more acclaimed books like Hatchet, The Winter Room, and Dogsong.

I really enjoyed this book. I like how the father and son family found religion in their time of need. They started out preaching only for money, but ended up preaching for the sole purpose of spreading the word of God to those less fortunate. This moral has made me think about how I live my life, and I will always keep this story in mind as I go about my day.

My friend ... had read this book for the monthly book report. She reccomended to everyone! So I checked it out and started to read. Like 2 hours past and nothing really was going on...i was only on page 109 but still! I dont like it at all because it was so s l o w (slow). I reccomend it only to the people who have a lot of time and like books with alot of acting.

This clever novel was one that I couldn't put down! It was
exciting and fun to read. I read it in about 4 days, and
I totally enjoyed it. This book covers tough topics, while
being an enjoyable read. I would reccomend it to both boys
and girls ages 11 and up because of some material in it that
may be tough to understand. Read and Enjoy!

This is an absolutely fantastic sequal! It leaves a lot of room for a third book though, and we can only hope that we won't have to wait too long.

I was unpleasantly surprised at my results with this book. I took the PSAT and received a score of 1470. I thought I really had a shot at getting a great SAT score, so I bought the Gruber book. After studying for months before the test with this book, I took the SAT and received a 1050! How could this be?! After that, my parents splurged and purchased the SAT1600 Encyclopedia for [$$$]. It was well worth it...I retook the test and got a 1590! Looks like the elite in the top 10-20% need not apply with this book.

I think this book is very good. The only problem I get with the book is that whenever I write on the book with a pen or pencil, it sometimes breaks the page. So the paper's not very good. However, I found this book very interesting and unique from other SAT books. It offers a very complete SAT at-home preparation and it teaches you Critical Thinking Skills that last a lifetime. I also find this book very easy to read and to understand, and they make their explanations clear, to the point, and easy to understand. It offers a lot of practice tests/quizzes and I find that very helpful. Also, they suggest you memorize the roots of words instead of memorizing a whole word one by one. I can't say if I got a good score on the SAT with this book yet because I haven't taken it yet. All I can say is good luck on your SAT book search!!

Thank you, Dr. Gruber for your fantastic book. Each time I took a test in your book I improved my score on the next one, using your great instructional material and strategies. The first test I took in your book, without any of your preparation or advice, I got 950 which is about what I got on my actual SAT at that time. After reading your specific advice on how to improve after each test, I increased my score steadily on each upcoming tests in your book. By the time I got to the last test in your book, I scored 1520. Before taking the actual SAT I brushed up again using the information in your book and got 1580 on the actual SAT-only 20 points shy of a perfect SAT score! I am convinced I could not achieved such a great final score and going from a 950 to the 1580 without your book.

I am a big fan of Gary Paulsen. Some of his books like Dogsong, Hatchet,(WHICH I THINK EVERONE HAS READ) Woodsong, and Christmas Sonata. The pictuers in the book are different. He writes about living in the Philippines. One thing that he talked abouut is that there was a war going on and he callled it "war time". He lived in the Philippines because his dad was in the war over there. I was very glad that I read this book and I hope you will read it too.

Biography...most people don't like to read these kinds of books. But, this is a very exciting biography that can't be put down.

Gary Paulsen is truly a rare talent. Your right there where ever he is, smelling the sea, the jungle, he draws you in and keeps you right along side him!

worse than revisionist history, this book tries to dress up the "big lie" from the christian right and make it look presentable and scholarly. but a lie is still a lie. this nation was founded and our freedoms established in spite of the pernicious, oppressive, and brutal traditions of the christian religion. christianity has inspired intolerance, the inquisition, and witch burning. when in christianity's long history did it ever inspire freedom of speech or freedom of religion or freedom of thought?

This is a very interesting and useful read. Mr. Amos cut quickly to the core issues, presented both sides, supported his arguments with undeniable facts, exposed the mythology of false viewpoints, and did it with an admirably informed understanding of both history and theology.

It is very sad that many of his critics choose to merely spew ad hominem attacks and perpetuate myths without even responding to the specific arguments that Mr. Amos makes. I guess that the truth hurts. More Americans need to understand that those who hate the absolute truth of Christianity do not fight fairly. Consequently, they misrepresent world history in order to blame Christianity itself for the abuses of the heretical Pre-Reformation church hierarchy, failing to note that true Christianity was what Luther, Knox, and others demonstrated in beginning to liberate individuals to find God, truth, freedom, and, eventually, a new land in which to boldly enact and protect the very truths of God's word. The enlightened Bible-based renaissance that is the legacy of Luther was carried into practice by men such as Washington, Jefferson and Adams. This is the untold story for which Mr. Amos deserves great thanks.

Well done, friend. Agape, grace, and peace to you.

Today's secular world view teaches us half-truths as to America's founding. Our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and even the Founding Fathers themselves are called or are alluded to as being "Godless." Nothing could be further from the truth. I read this book and now know just how profound Christianity's impact was on this early period in America's history. This information should have been taught to me decades ago. It needs to be taught today. Today's rush to remove religion from the classroom has also eliminated even the teaching of "historical" facts. Who we are as a nation is detailed exquisitely in this book, going back to Martin Luther, and tracing Christianity's profound impact on the thinking and founding documents which all peoples of all races and religions enjoy today in this nation. Don't cheat yourself another day, buy this book, read it, and pass it along so the whole history of America's beginning can be known. It's time to get back to basics in this country...this book will help you get there!
