Review:Wow... I am the first person to review this great book. Being a huge fan of wilwheaton.com I wasn't sure what the appeal would be of buying this book since everything in it had already been on the net. I don't know why but there is just something different when your reading it on paper than on the internet. Wil Wheaton does a great job telling these five short stories from his life. You will go from feeling sad when he talks about his aunt, to laughing out loud when he talks about his star trek ... Read more
Review:I adored this story. Hank and Midge have a great story to tell and one that will have you swooning, crying, laughing, shaking your head and having all of the feels. It's great that you can continue with the characters from After Care in this story. So much of their lives are built on from their past, but the struggle is learning from, not quite forgetting about it, and moving on from it. Hank especially has to let it go and evolve into his new reality. he's learned a lot of life lessons, bu... Read more
Review:This was written by someone who understands what I expect when I encounter the claim "Easy Piano". My father recently died, and "Clare de Lune" was a tune of which he often spoke when he was alive as his version of a fine, classical work. There's a version in this book that I was able to play on the first day I had it. Thanks to Allan Small for keeping it real when he wrote this work. I thought I might transition from the "Big Notes" Peanuts Christmas book to this classical piano book after ... Read more
Review:This novel is a satire telling about the career choice of one Nick Naylor. He "pays the mortgage" by being the chief spokesman for the main tabacco lobby. He justifies the killing of 465,000 people a year by claiming that smoking really is not bad for you and that much of the scientific data cannot be backed up. He becomes a character the reader loves to hate. The story is mainly one of satire towards the political correctness of Washington's finest, but he develops some sort of plot when Nic... Read more
Review:I really enjoyed this book. The interweave of historical figures with a clever plot was masterfully done. It is fast paced and clever and incorporates the beliefs, practices and concerns of the time. Read more
Review:In my first clear memories of politics and world events, the Wall come down and we had to get used to live in the shadow of dieing Communist Empire, predicament that defined our lives and the world we lived in. Purported as so called End of The History, PAX AMERICANA lasted shorter then the war that produced it.
Now when the Project for the New American Century turned out to be the Project for the Last American century we live in the world best describe by the two books, American Psycho b... Read more
Review:I love the "Little Orphan Annie" scenario. Many of my favorite books have an insecure child finding love, self worth and security in a surrogate family. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1) is one of the most popular ones. Frances Hodgson Burnett made a career of them, A Little Princess (Annotated),Read more
Review:Could not finish this one. A rambling, incoherent jumble about nothing. There seemed to be a subtle, but awkward attempt to convey a liberal imessage of some kind, but it wasn't worth the effort to attempt to translate it. Wasted money. Read more
Review:It is difficult for me to describe what causes something to be really scary to me. Not sickening, disgusting, or even shocking; but really scary. Parts of this book were really scary to me, in a way I do not remember for any other book. Scary in a way I might associate with so-called “Jungian archetypes”; which I suppose are images in everyone’s unconscious. The evil room with an even eviler room in back with a room even more malevolent in back of that.
Those were the portions of the book whi... Read more
Review:A very thorough and useful introduction to the basic system it is a useful refresher and a good start for novices. However, since we play two over one system and other conventions, the book was not as helpful as I thought it would be. Read more
