Review:It's an Allright story even of the stats and rpg element are more of a distraction rather than a feature, as they don't seem to matter, the hero has just enough to succeed, or gets it just in time, or an old skill with an exact definition just does an insane amount of buffing. Read more

Review:If you like bravura prose this is a must-read; if your taste runs to short, affect-less little sentences don't bother, this is not the book for you. How good is good? This good: the essay on the tennis pro is so moving, profound, and brilliantly crafted you'll want to read it twice in a row, even if you cultivate an active dislike for sports in general and athletes in particular, as I do. The essay on the Illinois state fair is so vivid, intense, funny, sad, and deep that you'll not only fee... Read more

Review:Out of all of Ray Bradbury's prodigious gifts, perhaps none is greater than his ability to capture the true essence of childhood in a timeless manner. While his most prolific period is now four decades past, Bradbury's descriptions of the hopes and fears of childhood still strike a powerful chord; in particular, he is able to capture the fears of childhood from an adult's perspective, without in any way minimizing them.
In "Something Wicked This Way Comes" the reader is treated the pinnacle ... Read more

Review:Edward Albee's "The Goat" or Who Is Sylvia is, to the issue of Gay Marriage, what Arthur Miller's The Crucible was to McCarthyism. Albee manages to show an audience exactly what true love is and he uses a middle class WASP family with a homosexual son and a goat to do it. The end of the play has a hurt and confused wife holding forth a dripping burlap sack full of hacked up pieces of a dead goat as her husband weeps into his hands. Not only does it address the issue of how dare we define love, ... Read more

Review:This book continued the overall saga in great fashion. The main characters continue their key rolls and we as observers, come to cheer them on as the try to pull the divergent clans together and strengthen their defenses. I can't wait for the next book in the series. Read more

Review:I cannot express how much I enjoyed this book. I was in high school during the 80's, so reading this brought me right back to my teenage years. I loved the pop culture references and the fact that the chapter titles were 80's song titles. The book begins and ends with yearbook pages which I read both before I read the main story and then went back and read after to see what character names I recognized in the yearbook signings.

The pop culture references and neat packaging aside, this is... Read more

Review:The movie makes more sense now! There are scenes in the book that I wish were in the movie. I did not find anything that I disliked. It was well written and did take away from the movie but added to it. I would recommend this book to any Star Wars fan. Read more

Review:The White Queen and The Red Queen: Formulaic precursors to Henry VIII series. Danielle Steel does War of the Roses. If you can keep track of the myriad of Elizabeths, Edwards, Edmonds, Richards, and Margarets, you are good. It'd be best to read these two overlapping tales together if you have air or beach time to kill. Otherwise, skip 'em.
