Review:Very exciting. Loved the characters and the technical information on how the justice system works, or doesn't sometimes. Because the author is a lawyer the story is quite believable. I will look forward to more reads of the same calibre. Thanks Lis! Read more
Review:I thought the purchase of this book would save time in reducing the original long version which I needed to do for a short performance. It did not. I had to go back to the original as key elements were missing from this version. Poor quality. Read more
Review:One of the classic adventures returns to 5th Edition. This book has high production values, well worth it. A big plus is that the book is "campaign setting neutral", which means that it does NOT depend on being located in some Forgotten Realms or Sword Coast campaign. The writing and content is top notch. But that's not a surprise since this book was co-written by the authors of the original Ravenloft D&D adventure from the 1980s. Read more
Review:I can never get enough of the Teacher character. I wish he posted a book a month, I would buy all of them. Perhaps we see a character in Teacher we all wish we could be but that certainly is not realistic so we live vicariously through fictional characters.
I hope it will be a short time until the next Teacher novel. As an aside, the first novella in the book is absolutely incredible.
From a fan. Read more
Review:I have read the critical reviews of this book, and I have to say with all due respect, that those who criticize are reading this book with the wrong attitude. Quinn is not proposing a return to the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, nor is he suggesting that humans are unnatural organisms that are inherently wrong.

Review:This book of revamped fairy tales is very well written and fun for adults to read. Everyone in my book club loved it and, that is a first for us. We all had our individual favorites; mine was "If Wishes Were Horses". The book was hard to put down and impossible to forget. Read more
Review:I liked the story very well, however there wasn't much in the line of context. Trouble, happy times, trouble and happy meet. Then scary stuff, Defender arrives. All happy again the end. Almost felt like a paper assigned along time ago but just written the night before deadline. Good but knows they can do GREAT! Read more
Review:The writing is classic Vonnegut - meandering yet with purpose. I thoroughly enjoyed each short story, as well as the essay. It's a shame that the last piece was never completed, since it definitely let me wanting more. Read more
Review:This is classic Twain. It is hilarious. If you want some entertaining reading, this is a great choice for a medium length introduction to Mark Twain. The "negro dialect" is easy to read once you get the hang of it. You do need to get past the use of the "n word" though as in many of the writings from that period. The almanac quotes keep you waiting for the next ones. Read more
Review:The stories are all good, as most Dresden Files are, though I’d read several of them before. I especially liked the ones told from other character’s points of view. Mouse’s is the last & the best. Read more
