None of them, in my opinion, philosophically tackles the concept of story telling and how stories work. Instead, they give tips and techniques like "put in rising conflict" or "make your characters likeable" In STORY, Rob McKee tells us, from a conceptual, historical & technical view, what ...             Nanny 911: Expert Advice for All Your Parenting Emergencies32 reviews Deborah Carroll, Stella Reid HarperEntertainment, 2005 Nanny 911 I wish nanny 911 had been around while I was raising my children.

This book helps me to turn around problems that arise in my daycare. Also helps to take the frustration and replace it with confidence in ...             Slash109 reviews Slash, Anthony Bozza HarperEntertainment, 2007 Too much naughty fun. Rock documentaries are my husbands lastest thing. He went from a man that does not like to read to reading these type of books daily. "Slash" is a good read. Packed full of juicy stories. A must read!             Pieces of My Heart: A Life Robert J. Wagner, Scott Eyman HarperEntertainment, 2008 In this moving memoir, Robert J.

Battling a ...             The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Chores (Berenstain Bears)7 reviews HarperEntertainment, 2005 Start a conversation with you child I love all the Berenstein Bears books. They can provide a good starting point for a conversation with your child. Don't look to these books for answers on how to handle a problem. They aren't meant for that. In this one, we see what happens when Mama gets tired of everyone else avoiding their chores, so she avoids hers, too. Once the others see what the house is like, they start to pitch in to ...             How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale239 reviews Jenna Jameson, Neil Strauss HarperEntertainment, 2004 Hard to put down!!! Great read!!! Very exciting and attention grabbing. I read it in 2 weeks. Jenna has had a very sad and eventful life. This gives her a great new respect for the woman she has become. I learned a lot! The "industry" is not at all like the image it has been given.             The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band368 reviews Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, ... HarperEntertainment, 2002 Amazing I just finished reading the The Dirt and it was, honest to God, one of the most compelling books I have ever read. I am a huge Motley Crue fan but the great thing about this book is that you don't have to be a fan, heck you don't even have to like music to enjoy this book. This book is about music, but just barely. There is a little bit about Nikki Sixx and how he came up with lyrics and such but ...             Maybe You Never Cry Again20 reviews Bernie Mac HarperEntertainment, 2004 Great read and new found appreciation from THE MAC I appreciate every word shared in this book! Bernie Mac exposes the readers to the hardship, loss, and struggle that he endured on his road to success. Many would have given up years before he saw success. Throughout the book, he reiterates the depth and strength of his mother and the many lessons (MACisms) that she engrained in him. I never expected to experience the range of emotions that ...             Supernatural: Bone Key1 review Keith R.a. Decandido, Dc Comics International HarperEntertainment, 2008 I only wish this book was longer! I had every intention of reading this addition to the "Supernatural" franchise sllloooowwwwlllyyyyy, to make it last till the Season 4 episodes begin to air on September 18th, but it's a testament to how good this book is, that I've finished it a mere two days after buying it. A week following the events of "A Very Supernatural Christmas", Sam and Dean Winchester head to sunny Key West, ...             The X-Files: I Want to Believe (X-Files (Harper Entertainment))4 reviews Max Allan Collins HarperEntertainment, 2008 Great Book This novelization of the new film The X-FIles: I Want To Believe is an excellent companion piece to the movie now in theaters for a price that's less than a movie ticket. The novel follows the story of the film closely, with a few additional interesting scenes and lines of dialogue. If you were confused about the plot, this book clears things up. It also gives some insight into character ...             The Berenstain Bears' Bedtime Battle (Berenstain Bears)11 reviews HarperEntertainment, 2005 A Very Funny Book My wife and I enjoyed reading this book to our kids, 4 and 6. They laughed out loud at the picture of the pink bath bubbles getting out of hand. The story also sends a good message for families--try to see things from the other family members' point of view and try to have some sympathy for them. The fact that Mama and Papa Bear get so tired that they fall asleep while trying to put their cubs to ...             Napoleon's Privates: 2,500 Years of History Unzipped11 reviews Tony Perrottet HarperEntertainment, 2008 This one will keep you reading well into the night, probably either stunned or flabbergasted. Not many of us have ever heard of the "Secret Cabinets" let alone visited special places that were designated rooms within the great museums of Europe as the Louvre, the Prado, the British Museum, and the Museo Nazionale in Naples. It is within the walls of these chambers where anything that was deemed shocking and immoral was kept hidden, and if you wished to have access or a viewing you had to ...             Burlesque and the Art of the Teese/Fetish and the Art of the Teese46 reviews Dita Von Teese HarperEntertainment, 2006 Dita dazzles again! As usual, the elegant and enchanting Dita Von Teese manages to dazzle the senses and delight the eyes. Not only is the book a burlesque fan's dream, with page after page of gorgeous Dita playing dress-up, but she also manages to fill it with nuggets of history and how-to. The fetish side is equally satisfying, and a must for any fan of S&M. The dichotomy of the book, one side she's a sweet, ...             The Berenstain Bears and the Bad Influence (Berenstain Bears) HarperEntertainment, 2008 Sister Bear and her new friend, Miranda, make a lot of bad decisions—riding down Dead Bear's Hill, eating Ben's apples, running through Mizz McGrizz's tulips. When Mama Bear finds out about these things, she wants Sister to stop playing with their new neighbor. But is it really all Miranda's fault?             No Lifeguard on Duty: The Accidental Life of the World's First Supermodel96 reviews Janice Dickinson HarperEntertainment, 2003 Wow! Janice got down, dirty, and honest with this book in her tough journey to fame. However, she is an amazing woman who has survived much in life, while doing her best to thrive. Kudos Janice! Thank you for sharing a part of you with us all! A MUST read for everyone! Merna Throne Pocket of Pearls: A 30-day pocket workbook to start hearing a softer voice inside of you!             Yankee Stadium: A Tribute: 85 Years of Memories: 1923-20085 reviews Les Krantz HarperEntertainment, 2008 BEST OF YANKEE STADIUM BOOKS I viewed all the various books commemorating Yankee Stadium (there's four) and this one is the best by far. It's a coffee table book with extraordinary photos, some I've never seen elsewhere. Not only are the 200 or so photos outstanding, there are about 50 chapters with great historical facts, figures and wonderful baseball writing. The real highlight of this book, however is the DVD. It's an ...             All for a Few Perfect Waves: The Audacious Life and Legend of Rebel Surfer Miki Dora21 reviews David Rensin HarperEntertainment, 2008 Really Can't Understand The Complainers Here! I surfed with Dora in '58-'62. No, let me say, I was in the water at the same time on dozens and dozens of mornings and afternoons, but NEVER SURFED with Dora. Nobody surfed WITH Dora. He was a bullying competitor, bold adventurer, pirate, pioneer, and a loner. He was in his own dream and happily so. Now then, for those who require a more intimate picture of the athlete, watch films for insight ...             The Long Hard Road Out of Hell430 reviews Marilyn Manson, Neil Strauss HarperEntertainment, 1999 good read its a great and interesting read... not at all boring.. even if you dont love marilyn manson.. you'll find it interesting and entertaining             Fabulosity: What It Is & How to Get It9 reviews Kimora Lee Simmons HarperEntertainment, 2007 The Best Book I've Read For My Industry (Urban Book Publisher) I sincerely enjoyed this book! I've read many books on the subject of how to build brands and businesses, but Kimora gave me exactly what I was looking for! She gave details on what it takes to brand a SUCCESSFUL company and I'm clear that successful branding starts with myself. If you're in the entertainment industry, this book is a must read for women who need that extra FLARE! Great ...             The Book of Vice: Very Naughty Things (and How to Do Them)18 reviews Peter Sagal HarperEntertainment, 2007 I wish he dove a little deeper Entertaining read - I only wish Sagal wasn't such a prude. I'd like to read more of an insider's view, rather than that of an outsider looking in.              search for books 1923-2008, accidental, audacious, believe, berenstain, burlesque, cautionary, confessions, emergencies, entertainment, fabulosity, history, influence, lifeguard, memories, napoleon, naughty, notorious, parenting, perfect, principles, privates, screenwriting, stadium, structure, substance, supermodel, supernatural, unzipped, x-files books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
