Greek Mythology
I really like Greek mythology and have read some books on it,so for anyone who is thinking of buying the book Mythology,I recommend also buying books in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series,by Rick Riordan. They are about a boy who discovers his father is a Greek god and the adventures he has. As for Mythology, I think it is a great source for information on the ancient Greeks, and highly ...

The King James Bible (with book and chapter navigation)

This is the best of the KJVs!
When I first used my Kindle, I inadvertently downloaded the wrong KJV. It had no table of contents and to get to the New Testament I had to turn every single page. I wasn't through the first chapter in Genesis when I realized the futility of my task. I began a more thorough search for a Bible that was more "user friendly." This one caught my attention because Diana Mecom, the lady who ...

One Tiny Thing
I knew I would love this book when I came to this quote: "That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book , and that tiny thing will lead you onto another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive-all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment." Through a series of letters an engrossing ...

Street Fighter Tribute

Udon Entertainment, 2008

Brilliant art and fond memories
Few video game franchises have both the history and relevance of Street Fighter today. It's truly timeless, with so many incarnation sparking so many different emotions for so many different people. This book captures that feeling perfectly. It's a blend of gorgeous artwork and raw emotion. Some of the artists clearly have a passion for Street Fighter and most have very strong nostalgia for ...

Our White House: Looking In, Looking Out

Famous Children's Authors Write About the White House
This book is a contemplation of many stories about the White House. Some are old, most are written by famous children's authors of the day. Great book illustrators are included too! (I want a poster of Eric Carle's contribution.) Every single entry is superlative and of great interest. I was absorbed from beginning to end. I am a teacher and my only problem will be how to share this book ...

Monsterology: The Complete Book of Monstrous Beasts

Candlewick, 2008

A "must-have" for any fantasy buff's private collection
The latest in the popular "ology" series, Monsterology: The Complete Book of Monstrous Beasts is as beautiful and elaborate as its many companion volumes. Featuring writings on fantastic beasts from griffons and hippogriffs to phoenixes, the pegasus, unicorns, kraken, sphinx, and much more (but not dragons - they're covered in a different book!), Monsterology reads a bit like a nineteenth century ...

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002

Great Gift!
This is an exhilarating book! It was my favorite gift to give this past Christmas, with a wonderful response. Half the poets are Sufi, and I was unfamiliar with most of them; the other half are Catholic mystics, all of whom I know, but I did not know these poems. I am hoping that a scholar of Catholic mystics might review here and let me know how much of the translation is wishful thinking. The ...

In glorious black and white!!!!
Wow, the price is right for this compilation. There is some beautiful work here by Al Williamson, Gray Morrow, Joe Orlando, Frank Frazetta, Reed Crandall, Alex Toth. Frazetta does the bulk of the covers which are reproduced in color but everything else is in varying shades of black and white. There are a few clunkers with the stories but the art is really the main reason to buy these anyway. ...

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

Max Brooks

Random House Audio, 2007

A wonderfully different zombie story
Now that the Zombie War is over, it is time to start examining what went right and what went wrong. But, the author moved beyond all that, interviewing the survivors of "World War Z" to get their story - a boots-on-the-ground view of the trauma and the tragedy. This is the story of politicians and soldiers, and blind old men and little girls, as they survive a trauma such as the world has never ...

Love this Bible. The NIV format is easy to read and understand and the large print is easy on the eyes. I've bought 3 of them, given as gifts, excellent Bible!

Dark Horse, 2008

Ahhhh, Classic Conan!!
I owned all of these originals when I was a teen back in the mid-to-late 70's. Back then, Savage Sword of Conan was cutting edge in comics. Both in size and scope, as well as edgy violence and nudity, something the comics code was ALL against back then, Savage Sword was eye-catching, non-stop action/adventure fantasy that brought together top-notch artists and writers that broke new ground. ...

DC Comics, 2008

It's about time, Ray
This third volume continues on with the same threads from the previous two, so instead of rehashing them, let's focus on its key elements. First and foremost, we finally discover the whereabouts and present disposition of Ray Palmer, and an interesting development it is at that. He is discovered on Earth 51, having replaced his already deceased counterpart from that world and commencing forward ...

The Conde Nast Traveler Book of Unforgettable Journeys: Great Writers on Great Places

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

All over the place
The previous two reviewers both gave this two stars only. I think the arrangement of the articles, alphabetically by country, detracts from the power of the best entries here. The magazine obviously can attract top authors to contribute, yet the selections vary widely in length, focus, and inherent interest. While there are eight or ten fine pieces, too many others trudge along dutifully and make ...

RH/Disney, 2007

We LOVE this series!!!
We own all of this series! Started reading them when my daughter was 4 (she just turned 5 now), and they are age appropriate. Not too scary and always a happy ending. One book only takes us about 4-5 nights worth of reading together. The longer ones are good too "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg" and "Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand", but they are a little bit scarrier than the ...

A MUST HAVE FOR HEROES FANS!
If you are a Heroes fan you should get this. The art is great and the stories are equally good. This is NOT just a redo of the show. It is extensions, fill-ins and extra stories streaming along the same vein as the TV show. I just finished this one and I can't wait for volume 2!

Amazing story about where loyalties lie
This is an amazing story about a young girl wanting to no longer be invisible and redefining her loyalties to her sister and family. About how a family is broken and disjointed by one parents devotion to heal her sick child. Very touching, the story brought me to tears.

A great interactive book for little ones
My four-year-old daughter was a Dora fan just based on the pictures of her she had seen. She loves answering Dora's questions, and has enjoyed learning a bit of Spanish, too! I was surprised at that, since we live in Japan, and my daughter speaks English and Japanese.

jamie delano knows constantine
"The devil you know" collects the issues 10-13 and the first annuals of this series. Constantine is arrogant, tortured, and alone, and Jamie's writing deepens those feelings as we walk with Constantine in a Margret Thatcher England. Reminicient of V for Vendetta in how the future England may be, this tpb is truly a horror comic. Antartica is one of the most desturbing stories I have ever read. ...
