This book can be read in fifteen minutes easily.
This book is truly written for the young reader; however, it can be read and enjoyed by all ages. There is really no new information, but it is treated in a different manner which is appealing. The story is told almost entirely by using almost all simple sentences so that is can be easily understood by the age group for which it is intended.

It is refreshing to have the author refer to Prince William's life as "an inspirational life" which it is when one stops and thinks about all the unfortunate circumstances he has endured in his sixteen and a half years of life.

The author succeeds in getting her point across. Any individual who is five years of age and can read will be able to read and to understand this book. The words which the author thinks a young reader may not know are written in bold print and are explained very simply in the glossary found on page 30.

One also get the Web site for the publishers from which one can download a free screen saver. also, there are two Internet Sites given for Prince William with which you are probably acquainted if you have always read about the young prince. All pictures are in color.

This is a delightful paperback book consisting of thirty-two pages.

Very Useful for Students
For students struggling with Shakespeare, or the play Hamlet in particular, this book will prove extremely enlightening and useful. It consists of numerous short, very informative articles, written by noted literary scholars or experts on the play, among them R.A. Foakes, Marvin Rosenberg, Rebebba West, and even the great Shakespearean actor Laurence Olivier himself. The editor, Don Nardo, provides an excellent introductory article that sums up Shakespeare and his times, and also a generous bibliography that will give students plenty of supllementary material to look for.


Sex : What Every Young Woman Needs to Know
Published in Spiral-bound by Menequil Press (21 October, 1999)
Author: William F. Fitzgerald
Amazon base price: $19.95
Average review score:

A better way to prevent teen pregnancy
This is a very complete and explicit discussion of sexuality. It is designed to define, describe and clarify sexuality and stimulate discussion between parents and teens. It provides vital, factual information to young people who are inundated with sexuality, but are often uncertain of what it all really means as they explore their personal sexuality in a world full of sex. The chapter titled "The Slanguage of Sex" should be standard reading material for pre-teens so that they may be less vulnerable to sexual exploitation. I think Dr. Fitzgerald has taken a bold step to frankly discuss sexuality, in all its facets. Dr. Fitzgerald encourages women to make intellegent choices about their bodies and attempts to prevent women from becoming victims of ignorance. Now young (and not so young) women have a factual resource when making personal choices for their emerging sexuality.

Shareholder Proposal Handbook
Published in Hardcover by Aspen Publishers, Inc. (2002)

Average review score:

very comprehensive
This handbook is quite comprehensive - deals with its topic from perspective of both management and shareholders and addresses the wide range of issues that can possibly arise in handling shareholder proposals under the SEC's Rule 14a-8. Bill Morley has been the "dean" of the proposal process for well over two decades and the two authors cover a lot of ground from their own strong backgrounds. Considering there is no other book on this topic - and that the topic is becoming a focal point in corporate governance, it's a book many of us have been waiting for!

A poingant peek at adolescence as many of us remember it.
Arnold Adoff captures the essence of being a fumbling, embarassed teenager through his poems. Love, drugs, and school are just a few of the topics covered in the many uniquely formed poems. Adoff, who writes successfully from many perspectives, can bring you back to your youth or identify with a young person today with "Slow Dance: Heart Break Blues."

I loved reading this book!
I just loved Sour Land! It was a nice break from all the sugar coated books that most kids read. Sure, the end is sad. But I think that is was the real world is like, full of disapointments, deaths, horible sicknesses, and whatever might come your way. So, reading this book might prepare kids for stuff that is going to get in there way of live one day. I have to tell you that I have always wanted to read a book that had a plot of an adult's book, but was writen for kids. I found that book, I read that book, and I loved that book!

I had the chance to see the first Theatrical Production of this play, done at a local theater here in Northern California. It was wonderful, and the book is the same. I especially liked the aunt!

This was a very informative book
When I read this book, I found it very informative, especially for a teen. I read about all of the attitudes that Terry Williams listed that teens have. She gave helpful tips on how to go through life with a more upbeat/friendly attitude. I enjoyed this book very much. I couldn't stop reading it. I endulged myself in this book. If you read carefully, and really let it sink in and understand it, it will really help you, as it helped me. I liked the incorporation of other stories in the book as well. This book helps you to become smarter socially, rather than through a text book. I have read books such as, "Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul," and "The Personal touch." I thought this book was the best of the three. This was a great book, and I am happy I read it.
