Michael Ende

RoC, 1991

Imagining the Imagination
This is perhaps the greatest - certainly one of the most well-known - works of German juvenile literature in the last century. And it is so much more than simply a fantasy adventure, although it certainly doesn't lack in entertainment value. The book is actually imaginative literature that makes the imagination itself its main subject. It is about the proper handling of one's imagination and ...

Wonderful book
I could not put this book down! It made my cry a couple of times but it does have a happy ending.

MICHAEL J. FOX

BANTAM, 2003

A memoir that is good and fun to read
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. Would it be just about Michael J Fox's life or would it center too much on his Parkinson's disease. I'm not usually big on reading celebrity autobiographies and memoirs. This one is definitely worth reading! Mr. Fox shares his story with humor and humility and a wonderful honesty. He speaks honestly about his struggles with Parkinson's and ...

Boy's Life

Robert R. McCammon

Michael Joseph Ltd, 1992

Not just a Boys Life
I am a huge fan of Robert McCammon and this book is one of the best reasons why. The writing is so engrossing that you can get lost in the story and not even want to find your way out. The characters are all richly drawn and can stand on their own, not just as sounding boards for the main character, Cory, an 11 year old boy. If you have read the reviews this far down you will already know the ...

Fantasy Books, 1998

Foaming at the mouth for the next in the series!
This series is outstanding!!!! True King fans love it, and I think it's an interesting change for those who may not care for King's normal "horror" genre. Bits and pieces of this masterpiece are hinted at in many of King's other books,a nice "inside joke" for King's Constant Reader. This series grabbed me and would not let go! I've read them all at least twice and like the header says, I'm ...

Andrew Chaikin

Michael Joseph Ltd, 1994

These Men dared to sit on top of Rockets!
This is a comprehensive book about the Apollo space program that does an exceptional job of capturing one of the most incredible times in human history. It was a time when the belief was that we could do just about anything we set our minds to. Andrew Chaikin does an amazing job of capturing the courage, the commitment, the sacrifices, the driving motives and vision of the astronauts, ...

Matthew G. Rosenberger, Publisher, ABC Philadelphia: Travel Guides for Kids
After recently purchasing another copy of this to give as a birthday gift I am reminded of how much our family has enjoyed these songs over the years. As a child, I remember listening to Free to be You and Me and I believe Philadelphia Chickens belongs in the same category-it is creative and fun-it is a classic!

Jon Stone

Random House Books for Young Readers, 2000

One of the best books ever!
What can I say...it's a blue furry masterpiece. I read it so much as a kid that the cover of the book came off. I'm finding more and more people that count this book among their all-time favorites. An "interactive" book by old school standards. Order this book now. Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD NCC LMHC Author, Psychotherapist, and ADHD Expert

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Penguin Audio, 1995

Little Prince speaks to the child in me
I was an adult when i read this book, and i really appreciated the lessons in life that Saint-Exupery shares through the Little Prince. A great book, full of beautiful illustrations, easy to read, while fun and sad at the same time. I personally read it as if Exupery is sharing with us the conversations he has with his own inner child, in the image of the Little Prince. That is why the ...

Linda S. Costanzo

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003

Best title in the series!
I think this is the best BRS there is. I used this book for course exam prep as well as board review. It is a great tool to highlight important concepts, and it explains things in a simple and effective way with the right amount of information.

This is an amazing story of a young Jewish boy during the Nazi occupation of Poland. Jacob is his name, and he is given a chance to live with a brave Polish family. The Roslan family takes Jacob in and protects his brothers and him. This now united family must go through many hardships throughout this story, but there is still happiness and gratitude flowing in the text. Alex the father is the ...

Michael Bradley

Harbor Press, Inc., 2002

What a great book!!
I was at my wits end with my 17 year-old daughter. She was acting up quite a bit and my normal reaction was anger which resulted in nothing but a lot of yelling,hurt feelings, and sleepless nights. Out of desperation, I searched for something, ANYTHING, that would help me get back on track with my daughter. This book was a God-send! I couldn't put it down. Dr. Bradley's philosophies and ...

Star Trek Encyclopedia

Michael Okuka, Denise Okuda

Simon & Schuster Interactive, 1997

Outstanding, but an update is overdue!
I bought this book in 2003, and it covered most of the bases then, but only the movies through 1998 ("Insurrection" IIRC; "Nemesis" is not covered.), and the 5th season of Voyager. It just covered the last season of DS9. And of course it has none of the "Enterprise" series. There have also been events such as the Paramount auction of all the series and movie paraphernalia since then, and ...

Drug Crazy: How We Got Into This Mess and How We Can Get Out

Michael Gray

Random House, 1998

Dealing with Our Addiction
When it became clear that the medicines called opiates were highly addictive and caused health problems, they were dealt with as nicotine and alcohol are dealt with today. There were honest and realistic public service messages warning of the dangers of opiates, and there was medical help that greatly limited the damage they did to the individual and which had a chance of eliminating his or her ...

The Conscientious Marine Aquarist: A Commonsense Handbook for Successful Saltwater Hobbyists (Microcosm)

Robert M. Fenner

TFH Publications, 2008

Excellent Starting Point
This book provides a great overview of the hobby. This is really where most people should start off reading in the hobby to determine if they're going to create a reef in their living room. Perhaps some should start with Paletta's The New Marine Aquarium first as a quick 1 day read, but really those who plan on enjoying the hobby would be well served by skipping the superbasic and getting into ...

Christine Durst, Michael Haaren

Career Press, 2005

Excellent book!
If you could only buy one book about owning your own VA business, I would highly recommend this one! As there are multiple books on the subject in the marketplace right now, I would still highly recommend this one. This is the ONLY book you will ever need - well, maybe one on accounting principles if you don't know any & have no money to hire an accountant! But this book tells you EVERYTHING ...

Michael Yon

Richard Vigilante Books, 2008

Desmosthenes (sp?) has found his man
If that ancienct Greek fellow in search of an honest man is still around, then in Michael Yon he has found his man. On a personal note I work with the US Army from time to time and so I have more chance to listen to people who have "been there" than most, and this book tracks well what I have gotten from these conversations. Yon's writing is simple and made powerful by the honesty of its ...

There Are Survivors: The Michael Cuccione Story

Michael Cuccione, Jane Macsporran

Making a Difference Publishing, 1998

One of the best books ever!
I truely do believe this is one of the best books ever written. You can see right into Michael's life as he struggles with cancer, which threatens to kill him many times. The book is set up in a "diary" format, with actual exerpts from his grandmother's diary. At the end of the book, there are lyrics to Michael's songs on his solo CD (purchase at [internet address]) as well as the ...
