Another 5 star addition to the Sisters Grimm series!!
I really enjoyed this book! From the first page to the last I was sitting on the edge of my seat! Sabrina is growing up, painfully but surely. I completely understand what she's going through! And Puck is well, maturing! Daphne is growing up too, I don't know about you but I miss the happy-go-lucky little girl I've come to love. Unfortunately, she has to grow up too... The last page left me ...

3rd Edition is also a great addition to your library
I noticed that the 3rd Edition of this book has a copyright date of 2008 and the cover of the book notes that it is completely revised and updated. Any review written before 2008 is almost certainly for the second edition. The 3rd edition is a reasonably hefty 210 pages of content; it is printed on nice paper, is nicely organised, and has an index. I am an experienced do-it-yourselfer and ...

Please don't read this book
In the world of poker literature, no limit hold em advice dries up and becomes useless pretty quickly these days. One year after its release, this underrated and underread book still holds advice that has yet to find its way into most tournaments. Almost every chapter regarding NLHE offers insights into the game that blows almost everything else away. Dare I say it, I think it even makes HOH ...

Magic and Other Misdemeanors Sisters Grimm (B00k 5)
I am sure that I am not the target market for this series, as I will turn 56 in less than a week. In spite of that I have to say that I love this series of books. The sisters and their extended family keep me entertained, crying and rolling on the floor with laughter. I recently discovered these books when reading a newspaper article about the frenzy around the release of the sixth book. ...

Money makes the world go round
If you are like me, the recent financial crisis has forced you to rethink what money is, how it works, and how global economic trends affect when and how currency moves about. This timely book explains the origin and growth of money, banks, stock markets. Ferguson shows us that the typical Wall Street logic of looking back the twenty or thirty years only the most experienced investors lived ...

Picking up after the dramatic cliffhanger that ended Book Six, Sabrina and Daphne?s prayers are finally answered when their parents awake from their sleeping spell. But their happy reunion is short-lived, as they are caught in the middle of a war between the Scarlet Hand and Prince Charming?s Everafter army. As the family works to help the prince?s ragtag group of rebels and protect their friends, Sabrina comes face-to-face with the family?s ...

My 9 1/2 year old son can't put them down...
He's reading them all and logging into Amazon to check for when the rest of them will be out in paperback. He gets through these books in under a week because he can't put them down. He's also hoping that they will one day be made into movies....

Ms Gehrke's 3rd grade reviews The Sisters Grimm
This book is way too funny to read! Sabrina and Daphne Grimm are on their way to meet their supposedly dead grandmother. It turns out their grandmother introduces them to a magical world that is home to many fairytale characters known as "Everafters." Sabrina and Daphne find themselves on a mission to save their grandmother from a mysterious, stinky, monstrous fiend. If you are dying to know what ...

Loved the book, check out the film
I've been a fan of Professor Ferguson for years now and this book was no disappointment. He's got that clear, accessible way to make history fun and engaging. I also loved the book for being written very logically with a strong sense of cause and effect that creates a digestible story. As a fan of history and geo-politics I have been put to sleep many times by experts that had the facts down, but ...

Superb
Okay, Children, listen up. I have it on good authority that a) God is not an intergallactic social worker and b) the world was not created by Enid Blyton (fluffy childrens' author). No doubt the all the `altruistic' acts we and our governments perform this very day will be sneered at and carped about in a hundred years from now by your own very foolish and ungrateful future offspring, ...

Small world
I have read this book and I am amazed by two things. It seems that although quite a lot of time has passed since it was first published -- not much changed. Additionally, being a Pole living in Poland I can compare the "rules" that apply to both the US and Polish authorities and it seems that they do not differ much. So although the author describes specific situation, I am afraid it the ...

great
this book was very helpful in designing tatt's for my friends and none the less myself. It has everything from culture to animals, even plants. i recomend this to anyone who is into designs the simplest or even detailed tatt's. Just because of it's such a simple design to base off of.

Much more than a family saga
Those who already know Niall Ferguson do not need any praise for the books he writes: a few years ago I chanced to read his excellent "The Cash Nexus" and this led me to "The Pity of War" and finally to "The House of Rothschild". Ferguson is a scholar who loves challenges: not just challenging arguments, but also challenges in the sheer volume of sources and research, and finally challenges ...

Highly entertaining
My girls, 8 and 10, thoroughly enjoyed this book. They are always begging for 'just a little bit more' every time we have to put the book down. They love making the connections to the fairy tale characters that they are familiar with from other stories.

Passed
I bought this as Sybex tends to have very good reference books. This was my only Network+ study guide (I have used other guides in the past for learning networking, but that was more on protocols and actual function of networks, not the practical work side of networking like the Network+ test covers). This was a great guide, very impressed with it. I passed the test, it was rather close, but that ...

A Surreal Slice of Life
I cannot remember ever enjoying a book as much as I did this one. Prior to reading this book, I only knew Ferguson as "Mr. Wick" from the old Drew Carey Show - afterward, I've become a true fan. "Between the Bridge and the River" is an astoundingly funny book, full of the sort of sly, deadpan humor that Ferguson so ably displays on his late-night television show; but it is also poignant, ...
The War of the World

Outstanding New View of History That Has Meaning For The Present
Niall Ferguson has given us a new way of looking at International conflict, not only in the 20th Century, but as we embark in the 21st Century. We see the borders of major powers in a new way, as a fault zone requiring much more thought and analysis. As World War I was started by the pressure on the meeting of the borders of the three empires of that time, Ottoman Turkey, Austria-Hungary, and ...

Useful Book
This looks like a very useful tool for once we are traveling, but a little less so for planning ahead.
