The Best Character-Driven Green Arrow Story Ever!
Kevin Smith brought Oliver Queen back from the dead in "Quiver" and "Sounds of Violence". Brad Meltzer, in his first comic work to date, picks up the book where Smith left off and gives us the best character-driven Green Arrow story ever - a story that brings Ollie back to LIFE! The premise of the story is simple - Ollie and his long-time ward, Roy Harper (aka "Speedy" aka "Arsenal) goes on the ...

I'm impressed!
Note, I did not buy this book yet. I only picked it up and started reading it in the bookstore. I can't stop thinking about this book so I felt that a review was necessary even if I haven't read the whole thing yet. Ok, I did not know what to expect upon reading it but as soon as I saw the title of the book, it caught my attention right away. Opening it up slowly, I peeked at the summary ...

Titan Books Ltd, 2001

Quite Possibly Too Funny For Some
This is so funny you may laugh yourself unconscious. You may want to check with your doctor first. Composed of several episodes from the Clerks comic book series, Kevin Smith authors some of the most laugh outloud comic adventures I've ever read. Reprising the characters from the Clerks movie and guest appearances from Smith favorites Jay & Silent Bob, Clerks: The Comic Books is a highly ...

Kathryn L. Hester

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1998

Poignant underclass vignettes
This is a very moving, understated collection of stories reflecting working class lives. Hester chillingly portrays the despondence, angst, lethargy, fantasy of escape, and tragic waste inherent in many blue or no collar lives. A melancholy, but profound set of stories which describe the typically "invisible" lumpen proletariat.

TEXAS TREASURES
Simply the defintive book on Texas Courthouses...the images are superb and the text enlightening. I have always loved the majestic courthouse, expecially when they are in the town square. Texas is blessed with many great historic Courthouses and this book displays them in their best light. I expecially appreciate the Tarrant, Bexar, and Jefferson County Courthouse, these are so grand in their ...

Hester M. Sonder

Vantage Pr, 2001

Intrigue and insight
This book is a wonderful collection of circumstantial anecdotes that relate to all women. The joys, the strife, the love, the hate that women endure can be seen in these pages. The author team of Sonder and Kristen provide us with an easily comprehensible view of these serious modern issues through attention holding dialogue, narrator's thoughts, and sidebar advice. Any man that is interested ...

A beautiful and pure fantasy for all ages...
I only recently discovered this book, and, I have to say I almost could not put it down! Not only is the fantasy part lovely in its imagery, but, the technical facts about the sea creatures are informative and amazing. Any author would be proud to call this tome her own, and, Ms. Velmans should be congratulated. I only hope that one day this is made into a movie of the Disney/Pixar type. It would ...

UTD Press, 2007

Ten Degrees of Reckoning
Ten Degrees of Reckoning by Hester Rumberg is a haunting yet heartwarming book that is difficult to put down while you are reading it and even more difficult to forget once you have finished the last page. The injustice of the events pervades your very being and yet Judy Sleavin's persistence in living demonstrates the power that love can have one one's life. A must read. Sondra Pearlman

2 Thumbs Up By New York Times Columnist
This is the best book on animal-human relations to come out since country vet James Herriot opened the field with his charming "All Things Bright and Beautiful" series. Naysayers of the bond between people and their pets should take a close look at all the new research coming out of medical schools on companion animals and how their owners live LONGER, happier, safer, healthier and more ...

Peachpit Press, 2002

Cool New Features Explained!
I wrote the book, so call me biased. Still I wanted to highlight that FileMaker 6 is not just another upgrade and the book not just another revision (I know because I've been doing this since FileMaker 4). Two cool features, highlighted in the book, make FileMaker 6 worth the upgrade: full XML support and auto-importing of digital camera images (Mac only). * While XML is a blessing to database ...

Morgan James Publishing, 2004

Eye opening and unexpected! Heart Changing!
I was unable to put the book down. This book gives a new perspective on educators and the hard, thankless job they perform day in and day out. Now throw in the fact they are Christian educators with an even higher responsibility! Wow, you just have to read it to understand. The 2 voices speak loud and clear. You must own this book. It will open your eyes and change your heart.

The Castle on Hester Street

Linda Heller

Jewish Publication Society of America, 1988

Enough is enough
It's sad that great children's books go out of print of so often. This one is about a grandfather's tall tales. He joshed his granddaughter Julie about Hershel the famous astronomer, who discovered the moon is a matzah ball. And Bessie, who used her exceedingly long braids as jumping rope. And Moishe, the goat from his village in Russia, who pulled his wagon all the way to America--9,092 miles, ...

Out of this world
Wonderful explanations. This is the astronomy book I never had as a kid! I'm a biologist and always thought I had the good fortune of working in the most interesting field. It sounds trite, but this book has opened my eyes to a universe out there. Now I even sort of understand black holes and the implications of relativity.

Sights Seldom Seen in Books...
As often as we come across them, rarely do we find books that truly relate to the experience of love gained and lost. Most of us are left to mumble through Shakespearean aphorisms like mouths-full of sand spread on stale crackers. Not any more. The guide for the lovelorn has arrived. New Stories About Old Flames is everything you need to ease the pain, reach out your now-soothed heart, and ...

Wonderful Book
I loved this book. It reminded me of my childhood and all of the adventures that children have and the things that happen to you to make you who you are today. This book was written as if she had lived this young mans life herself. It takes to the heart of it's charcters and leaves you wanting more.

When God Breaks Through: Sermons on Revival by Vance Havner

Vance Havner

Kregel Academic & Professional, 2003

Great sermons from a 20th century prophet
There was no one like Vance Havner. His preaching style was unique, powerful and pointed. He was a master at turning a phrase, using humor to set up a point and then driving the point home like a sharp two edged sword. Every Christian should read Vance Havner. His sermons are as fresh today as the day when they were written. Dennis Hester has done the Christian community and the church a favor ...
