This was Poirot at his best, many times!
I enjoyed all the different stories that were in this book. It is great fun to listen to. My book came in great condition and the seller kept me informed of when it was shipped and when I could expect to receive. Wonderful service.
Doctor Who Encyclopedia (Doctor Who (BBC Hardcover))

A fun and engrossing reference book for "New Who"
I suppose one could use Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia to actually look things up, but really, I think it's more fun to start with the letter A and peruse its entries in order. This ensures that you don't miss any of the goodies within, while providing almost as chaotic a tour of the worlds of Doctor Who as one might get in the TARDIS itself. Take the letter D, for example. Here you learn why ...
Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally, Fifth Edition

Math teacher must have!
This was a required text for a M.Ed. class. The practices in this book are almost perfectly aligned with Massachusetts frameworks and the Connnected Math Project (CMP) text used by my district (Lowell). This book is very rich with lesson plan fodder and takes pains to explain the 'why' of CMP as well as the how. I'll be relying on this book for years to come.
The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder

Vincent Bugliosi

Excellent book and a must read!
Bugliosi's book is a definite must read...an excellent book regardless of what side of the aisle (Republican or Democrat) you sit! Well written and simple to understand, this book gives a point by point explanation of why and how to prosecute George Bush for his crimes against this country.

Roman Daleks?
The Tenth Doctor and Rose plan to play some golf on the Moon but end up on the south coast of England in a bland, boring town which has nothing going on. Or so they thought. It seems arhaeologists have found a Roman mosaic from 70 AD. It shows scenes from ancient England, people, grapes and, yes, a Dalek. Then a dead girl comes back to life. Then the archaeologists find a...well, that would ...
Ways of Seeing: Based on the BBC Television Series

John Berger
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 1990
A Foundation of the Post-modern
Even though "Ways of Seeing" is a flawed book in many ways, it is so seminal in the development of post-modern image making that it must be considered essential reading in critical theory. The book is based on a television series. The book itself is only 176 pages. The print is all in a bold, sans-serif font. The authors are quick to claim that the book was made, not written. The pictures ...

Successful Gift
I purchased this for my father along with a selection of other audio books. He reported that he liked this one the best. Apparently the selection of stories was excellent, and the reading was clear and expressive.
Doctor Who: The Resurrection Casket (Doctor Who)

Another winner from the Doctor Who series!
If you enjoy the Doctor Who television show, start reading the books based on the new series immediately! Well written and enjoyable, they are a welcome addition to the Doctor Who family. Doctor Who: The Resurrection Casket is fast-paced and could easily be an episode itself. The author stays true to the television characters while breathing new life into the story. I highly recommend this ...

Go Beyond
I think I've read most of the top dozen or so best sellers on leadership. They all have wonderful advice. But there's now also a new kid on the block, a new book, that is probably the best-kept secret on leadership and HUMAN RELATIONS. It's a book called "Going Beyond Leadership of Character" by "West Point" author, Norman Thomas Remick. It goes beyond all the wonderful books like "Leadership and ...
Doctor Who: Feast Of The Drowned

A feast indeed
Having read more Doctor Who novels than I care to admit, I'd say that this one is the best new series novel to date (winter 2007). Many of the books rank as "Just OK," but this one kept me engaged from start to end. No plot dead zones. No passages I wanted to skip. Plenty of sharp dialog, creepy aliens, and even a nifty crash between a tug and a barge. Ooh, what fun! Like other new series ...

Evelyn Waugh

A Queer Theory Must!
As someone very interested in the field of Queer Theory, I was pleasantly surprised to pick up this book and discover such fascinating love relationships in the life of Charlie Ryder. Set between the two World Wars, Brideshead Revisited follows the life of Charlie Ryder and his dealings (and romances) with members of the Flyte family. Waugh has both a beautiful way with words and a scathing, ...

Good book. Light Reading
You really should watch the series before reading the book (or at least some of the series) just to get the accents in your head. The book is fairly true to the characters and the services. It is always interesting to se what different forms 'aliens' and their interactions with humanity can take. This book keeps the humor and 'wackiness' of the series. And of course, Martha is a stone fox. I ...

Delightful accompaniment to the DVD/Video
This delightful book telling of the making of the 1995 mini-series of Pride and Prejudice gives real insight into the preparation of what must be considered the definitive version on film of this beloved novel. Like the featurette on the DVD, it explains a great deal about the costumes, the choreography, the musical score and determing locations for the various well known places that the ...
Doctor Who: The Deviant Strain (Doctor Who)

Fantastic!!
This, like all the ninth doctor books is a quick read. It moves along at a pretty good pace (sort of like an extended episode), won't bore you with too many details (i.e. the science behind stuff), and let's you get a little more Capt. Jack. This one takes place in modern times and has the most "X Files" feel to it then the previous ones. I do like that they are mixing up eras in the books, ...

A fun read - probably 3.5 stars
Having been completely sucked into the new Doctor Who (both 9th and 10th Doctors) I now find myself devouring everything I can get my hands on. The novel tie-ins all seem to be written for an all-ages audience; not terribly sophisticated writing, but entertaining. I thought this one was a decent example; a fine start with a good handle on the characters and nice dialogue. The middle section ...

This books is great, and the narrator is great, too. You'll never regret buying this book. It's about boyhood and adventures that Tom Sawyer, a playful boy, makes up as he goes along.

To the Point - The Way I Like It!
This book is not in-depth and does not waste time on figuring out all the psychological reasons why people don't get done what they want to get done...and that's what's so great about it! I read a little bit of this book everyday and it motivated me to stop wasting my time so much. If you want some quick tips and simple methods to help manage your time then this is the right book for you!

A real listening pleasure
I enjoy the varied readers of these English and American Gothic masterpieces.The readers have achieved a fine balance between dramatization and plain reading. Although some of the British authors are new to me, especially the wickedly witty, Saki, I have not read several of the old Gothic American stories since high school English class, so they return as a surprise to me when heard in a more ...

South Beach Works
I recently turned 45 and after a cruise vacation with my husband I came home 142 pounds. I had done the SBD years ago, lost weight and foolishly abandoned the principles. I immediately went and dusted off my old copy. I started 9 weeks ago and also started walking 30 minutes a day on a treadmill. I'm now 125 pounds. All my clothes are at the tailor's being taken in. I look better, I feel ...
