"To Die Would Be a Great Adventure!"
Most people think they've read - or at least know - the story of Peter Pan. The figure of the boy who refuses to grow up has become so infused in Western culture that he's taken on a life beyond his literary beginnings, starring in countless theatrical productions, movies, television series, prequels and sequels, his image used in merchandise (everything from records to peanut butter), and on ...

One Chick, One Pan!
I've been trying recipes from "Two Dudes, One Pan" and they are simple and super tasty. It's interesting how the chefs don't regularly use stocks in their recipes. Instead they create flavors by pan-searing and adding various ingredients.

Collectible but Not for Little Kids
We took this away from our two boys as they were not gentle with it, but they are all boy and not really collectible kind of kids.

Fantastical good in spite of the fact I didn't really enjoy reading it
Shogun was kind of an odd book for me because even though I loved it, really loved, I didn't really enjoy reading it. The same thing happened with "Tai-Pan." This is a highly political and informative novel about the opium-tea-silver trade and the beginnings of British Hong Kong but it's more tedious somehow because there is so much conversation compared to the action parts of the book and the ...

casting light on a shadow.
A mix of history and political analysis from a region and period in which records are systematically destroyed, and authors like Pan are fighting to preserve the truth. The book paints a picture of a modern Orwellian state, describing, in detail, the contortionist social policies of a communist party that managed to cling to power long after communism became internationally discredited. For ...

Test passer
This is an excellent test preparation book. The questions are well worded and make sense, the answers are very instructive. I found that the answers were very comprehensive and reading them was reviewing for the test. Each subject was covered with 50+ questions that hit all the high spots for the test. This is a must have review book.

The ultimate cookware
. The introduction of the book is dedicated to cast iron pan itself; selection, care and use. The rest of the book is recipes that use the cast iron pan. With cast iron, all you need is the basics to get started and lots of practice. The soda bread recipe brought me back to my childhood in grandma's kitchen, that alone is worth the price of this book. My favorite recipe was the ...

The perfect writing
One regrettable consequence of Garcia Marquez's fame is that Latin American literature has come to be identified exclusively with "magical realism". Everything has to be extraordinary, epic, full of tropical lust, palms, jaguars, people having sex in every corner, flying to the sky with a pineapple on their heads. But Latin America is a vast continent producing artist of universal stature, even ...

Review
Pan Yuliang has lived and taken care of her uncle, ever since her mother died when she was young. At fourteen years Pan Yuliang was sold to The Hall of Eternal Splendour to become a prostitute. Her uncle did it to play off some loans he had accrued for his habit of opium. After two years of working at The Halls of Eternal Splendour, Pan Yuliang was saved. A young man by the name of Pan Zanhua, ...

What Caused the Birth of the All-Time Peter Pan Fan - A Review by Tinkerbell III
What Caused the Birth of the All-Time Peter Pan Fan - A Review by Tinkerbell III "Peter Pan" by J.M. Barrie is my all-time favorite book! It is almost impossible to descibe how MUCH I love it, but I can at least tell you why. It starts off with the line "All children, except one, grow up." That one child is Peter Pan, and he and the fairy Tinker Bell whisk Wendy Darling and her two ...

Reilly WOW's me yet again with a brisk--all-too-short--read
The origin of 'Hell Island' is interesting...Reilly was asked to pen a short-story/novella that would be distributed absolutely free in Australia only. He COULD have gone the route of many authors put in this situation and saved the GOOD stuff for a differnt book, but he chose the story of 'Hell Island' hoping that if he produced something really fun to read, it might spark interest in his other ...

The book and the movie
I love this book, but I have to admit that I watched the newest 'Peter Pan' movie, starring Jeremy Sumpter, before I actually read the classic. Although the movie including many exact or related lines right from the novel and most of the same major scenes, I found that, in the movie, there was that 'puppy-love glow' between Peter and Wendy that just made the storyline so much more interesting ...

An outstanding mystery tale
It's always interesting to travel with the Commissario on his cases, and pleasant to share fine Italian lunches with his family, his English professora wife and his two rebellious teenagers. Brunetti is the classics-lovin, uncorrupted anti-hero who struggles successfully with both the underworld and the legal powers that be, with the aid of his beautiful and thoughtful secretary, who's a whiz ...

Astounding Grand Finale to Viking Trilogy
King's Man is the last series of the Viking trilogy, which told the story of Thorgils Leifsson. Viking series was Mr. Severin's first foray into the fiction realm. He used to write exclusively non-fiction history books, which I learned from the list of books he had written (not less than ten books, excluding this novel). The first and second (previous) of the trilogy: Odinn's Child and Sworn ...

Fun read!
Entertaining, engrossing action-adventure! The author does a good job of maintaining a fast pace and holding your interest, while furnishing a wealth of information about the relationships among ancient codes, mathematics, astronomy, geology, ancient civilizations (mostly Egyptian and Mayan) and mythology. The place/monument descriptions in Peru and Egypt are especially good. My only criticism ...

It Shouldn't happen to a vet
It was the first James Herriot book I read, and I think the best. It was funny at times and serious at others. It introduced me to a English Countryside vet's life. Sqeamish people might want to skip over parts. (He is a vet!) But over all, I really think this book is a wonderful must read.
