One of the best American novels to be published this decade
This novel fully captures the psychological essence of what it means to be the western hero in a world where modern times tend to make the term obsolete. Howeveer, this book is not just for those interested in westerns, in also manages to take hold of what it means to be just a "regular" person in America. The storyline captures the reader, and moves them along the countryside, engrossing ...

Fleming reclaims Bond
One of the last of the original Bond Books, On Her Majesty's Secret Service is also one of the best. Picking up a year after the end of Thunderball, this book finds James Bond again battling the nefarious schemes of Ernest Stavro Blofeld and SPECTRE and, most importantly, falling in love with the beautiful, resourceful, and ultimately tragic Tracy. Though the usual intrigue is well-presented by ...

Westward Ho, Carlotta!
This book is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Parents should read it to their children--they'll probably enjoy it more than the kids. It's hilarious (and that includes the pictures). They're distorted but work well with the story.

amazing Photos
This book is fabulous not only because of the easy to read simple content but because of the wonderful photos. This book is captivating for children and adults. Even if you do not know how to read, this book will be your favorite simply because of the pictures. You will have a new appreciation for frogs and toads.

essential for the oncologist and tumor registry
This is not the stuff of bedroom reading, but it does exactly what it should: it covers one of the central tasks of oncology completely. Why not buy the handbook? The difference is mainly in the extras: more discussion, the free checklists, the electronic forms, and a larger more readable format. Personally I find staging a desk reference situation and I think the manual is better suited: I ...

An Amazing True Story
I have read a lot of sports books over the years, but this one just might be the best. The story of the Pottsville Maroons is one that you will not soon forget.

Volunteer Reader Raves
A small, sweet tale with a big, big message. The illustrations are delightful. As a volunteer reader in area schools, I can't wait to entertain the first and second graders with "Miss Mouse's House."

Close to the best writing I know.
His logic is impeccable, his language is breathtaking. Time after time I stopped to reread a sentence for the style alone. Thoroughly recommended.

A compelling journey of faith and fatherhood
Even as an avid reader, it has been a long time since I picked up a book that I simply couldn't put down until I finished it. Noah's Rainbow was one of these rare books. David Fleming writes with such raw honesty and emotion as to make his journey of faith and fatherhood captivating to any reader. This book is an amazing testimony of how one child's life changed a countless number of lives. The ...

A Timely and Eloquent Treatise
The conflict over Israel and Palestine is older than almost anyone reading this review. Many others before this group of authors had attempted to address this issue, and failed. And with each passing failure, the problem has grown more intractable. More importantly from the standpoint of the American interest, the political divide on this issue in the United States has grown ever wider. Merely ...

A Great Bond Tale
Years ago when I first read Ian Fleming's Doctor No, I loved it. Having read it again recently, I think it is still one of the best Bond stories. The characters are unforgettable - Bond's trusty companion Quarrel, the beautiful Honey Rider, and the nefarious Doctor No. The tale has a great Caribbean setting and possibly the best challenge for Bond to face, i.e., the obstacle tunnel designed by ...

Kevin Johnson's review is vapid and incorrect
I had to write this to on the one hand recommend this; the last of the "Ian Fleming" Bond novels, and to rebuke the earlier review by Kevin Johnson who obviously has the film and book terribly mixed up. Also, FYI this is one of the best Bond books and it was turned into an attrocious movie, nuff said.

Solid-fuel thrills
While I always knew that many films of the James Bond series drifted into camp and outright cheesiness, I never realized how much of a disservice some of them did to the source material until I read the novels. And wow--Moonraker in particular, while one of the better '70s entries in the film series, bears no relation to the gritty homeland security thriller written by Ian Fleming. The titular ...

A great story!
This book is a masterpiece of American story telling. Fleming draws on his experience as a teacher, a frontiersman, and an adventurer to tell the story of two young friends on a summer of discovery. Be careful to catch all of the elements of classical mythology in this wonderful novel. It is one of my very favorites! If you can get your hands on this book, by all means, do it! I take pride in ...

If you hunt chukars or even uplands this book is for you...
I've hunted chukars with a fever since I was able to carry a shotgun 25 years ago. Buddy Levy writes wonderfully and his passion, respect and understanding for this great game bird and the land they inhabit shines. It is obvious this book is personal and we are fortunate Levy has let us in. I highly recommend you make the effort to share Levy's love of what it means to hunt chukars....

The Best Bond I've read
This book was incredible! It had the bad guy and the girl. Fleming described everything so well and the book had a great ending and it was action-packed throughout the entire thing. I couldn't put it down. This and From Russia With Love are the best! I'm reading them in order and I'm on the 6th book Dr. No. But this book has good fight scenes, Mr. Big is a great villian and the parts with Leiter ...

Unexpected and Fun
They couldn't write a book like this today. For example, the main character--Bond--doesn't even show up until page 123! The entire first third of the book is a detailed following of the villains plotting Bond's death. It's not until we get to the execution that we meet James Bond. Be that as it may, I found it to be an interesting change of pace, and I was never bored. There is more ...

A Fleming classic
This is the original Thunderball novel that was based on a screenplay suggested for the first James Bond movie, and was ultimately filmed as the fourth installment of the series. It's written by Ian Fleming, but also credited to Kevin McClory and Jack Whittingham, who sued for the rights later on (all reviews should mention this fact, since McClory never let people forget it). Like the movie ...
