Review:Nice to have. Was a little disappointed after reading through it considering it costs the same as a PHB, MM, or DMG, but overall its OK. I like most of the monsters included, just wish it was a little more. Read more

Review:In discussing this book with my friends and co-workers, I found that they reacted with the same "raised-eyebrow shock" that I did. But what we also shared was the same mis-quided, media driven vision of a person that was suposedly unquestionable. After reading this book, intently I might add, I wanted answers. I want to know where all the donations to Mother Teresa's organiztion has gone because it certainly hasn't gone to the poor. I want to know why Mother Teresa has posed in pictures with... Read more

Review:At first I enjoyed this book because I also learned to speak Italian in my 30s, and I am interested in her perspectives on language and the construction of the self. Did I say self? This was self, self, self, and full of narcissistic repetition. Congratulations, you learned to write 8th grade Italian. Then you gave us the same tired, pseudo-profound observations,over and over. This was at best a magazine article. Clearly translator Ann Goldstein saved the day. Prioprio noioso, anche per una pers... Read more

Review:Every busy parent and professional, or recent retiree needs to read this book. Beautifully written with many quotes you'll want to write down to remember. Being still is necessary in a fast paced world like ours! Read more

Review:naturally my proffessor was teaching from the 10th edition so i thought this book would be way off as far as text but it wasnt. i was happy to know that i can use it in ny english class...fantastic bargain ...so satisfied Read more

Review:I liked this book. Why? Because Louis L'Amour liked to read in the same way that I like to read. Just whatever caught his attention at the moment, or even whatever was available to read wherever he was at any time. No program or agenda. And he had the same motives as I do- he simply wanted to engage in the human experience, to learn more about people: our history, our psychology, what we do and why. He wasn't a very sophisticated guy. He doesn't analyze any one writer for much more than a... Read more

Review:First of all, the book is gorgeous. The pages are of good quality and the illustrations are amazing. And it is a additional stimulus for understanding the concepts that you're currently reading. The book enriched my feeble knowledge on the creative process of storytelling.
On the back of the book it says something about "Essential for any aspiring or intermediate writer,....". I disagree. I think it's pretty accessible for any person that are curious about the subject. My knowledge is pretty ... Read more

Review:The author describes India as profound and profane. That pretty much sums up her book as well. Maybe Disney Land with the whiff and splat of raw sewerage would be another summation of her india. She thoroughly investigates every single "ism" and geographic location on the sub continent. Calcutta is about the only place she doesn't visit. The book is thoroughly educational from a cultural, religious, and geographic stand point. In reading up on India for a coming visit she is one of the best... Read more

Review:Fabulous book! The structure is clear and the writing is witty. I love the fact that there are matching templates available for download.

I'd recommend buying the digital version since there are embedded links that don't work well if you're reading the hard copy. Read more

Review:Sensing my frustration with the book that wasn't getting written, a friend wrote the words 'Al Watt. 90 Day Novel' on the back of her business card and gave it to me with an emphatic, "Check it out." One of Al's workshops began the following week, and the next thing I knew I was writing the book I'd put off for over a year.
Part of Al Watt's gift is his ability to articulate the writing process from a non-analytical point of view. Much has been written about writing, but with few exception... Read more
