Love Hurts
They gave me this book to read and analyze, knowing that I truly do not like to read much. I didn't know what to expect. I figured I wasn't going to like it at all. The title BOUNCE was neither impressive nor entertaining. I thought maybe it was a slang term I wasn't familiar with. And then I started reading. I found myself getting into the characters' lives. Cindique, a strong black woman ...

Engaging, delightful and funny!
The Boat of Dreams by Richard Preston is a heart-warming tale of hope and love, which was originally written for his friend who was dying of breast cancer. This is a wonderful story to share with the entire family, especially during the holidays. Preston brings Santa to life in a very `realistic" way, much to both the horror and delight of thirteen-year-old Will and his six-year-old sister, ...

Handy resource
An English major's best friend. What did I do without it? It's fun to pick up and read snippets but mostly it comes to the rescue when I have literary term questions or am stuck on a poetry problem. I ordered it from Amazon since it beat campus prices.

Sheba knows that Sol loves her, and knows that he could be the one. However in Sheba mind money control the world. Sheba is afraid of being poor so she lives this fake life until Mr Sol shows her something ...

The Computer Backup Book
This is *THE* Computer System backup book. It contains all the basics of why you want to backup computer systems, plus many of the real world experience details. It is written from a Unix perspective, but is still applicable to Windows and other non-Unix environments. I've been using this book as a general guide for several years now. It was a book I watched work it's way through the O'Reilly ...

Good Introduction
After finding myself trying several OTC programs which didn't work, I stumbled across this book. I had no idea that I had been using BP all wrong! FYI, BP is not a spot treatment for pimples with white showing. I also had no idea that salicylic acid products had to be of a pH between 3 and 4 to be most effective. I wish the author would have tested more salicylic acid products for the ...

Excellent book for young boys
AS a mother of 3 boys ages 2.5- 5 years old this is great book. They consistenly ask for it to be read at least twice a day. Filled with knights, dragons and a king, this keeps their interest yet gives them clear idea that being virtuous is that which should be rewarded. Great book, highly reccommend. My boys are always trying to be the squire who brings the bad dragon down.

A Collection That Reads Like a Novel
I really enjoyed reading the stories from "Church Boys and Other Sinners." Growing up in South America and having little exposure to US religions, I never realized how Christians in America behaved and thought. After I came to this country, I started getting involved with local church activities. That is how I realized how different they think and behave in America. Back home I get the ...

A book for those aquainted with suffering.
It wasn't just a fascinating story, masterfully spun, but a reading experience that got me more in touch with myself, and will you too, I'd expect, if you've experienced, or are experiencing, emotional pain from living in this world. The worst part of reading the book, is that you immediately want a sequal. You don't want to leave.

Preston scores a solid winner
Author Preston never ceases to entertain with vivid characters and eloquent prose. Trudy's Promise is a trip back into a period of history that could easily slip away and be forgotten. Instead, Preston puts you smack in the middle of East Berlin and all of a sudden you are experiencing history.I could feel the cold and the growing fear and then the desperate sense of loss at having to leave ...

An absolute must-have!
The book is arranged like this: Drawing principles, character design, then animation. The principles are about constructing forms and wrapping guidelines & features around them properly, facial expressions, building a simple skeletal foundation, how bodies can be drawn, and hands! The character design section is small, but brilliant. There are great example drawings to work from and trust ...

The book is one of biography, science (well told and easy to understand), and the history of this unique quest for knowledge. The book is a broad ...

Admirable hero and his hairbreadth escapes!
Who would have thought that a book written in the 1800s could be so appealing today? Doing a little internet research, I have found that G.A. Henty lived from 1832-1902, and the books he wrote were historical fiction "for boys". He was called "The Prince of Story-Tellers" and "The Boy's Own Historian", which certainly may have been true, but I'm an adult female who loved this tale! The style ...
