Review:Shada fully dramatizes a story that was killed by labor difficulties during Season 17. This production makes a few minor changes to the story so that it fits comfortably with the Eighth Doctor, most notably there's a brand new prologue.

Overall, the story works quite well. In my opinion, it's a notch below City of Death and Pirate Planet (Douglas Adams' other Doctor Who stories) as the six part length adds some filler, and this feels like it could have been an episode shorter. Still, the ... Read more

Review:I'm a really big Harry Potter fan. It was amazing to read some interviews to get closer to the film making process. I would suggest this book to people that like Harry Potter movies and would like to know a little more about it. Read more

Review:As Quirk Classics continues to roll out the mash-up novels (Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters;Android Karenina (Quirk Classic)), they chose to return to the scene of their greatest success in this prequel to the smash success of Pride and Prejudice and Zomb... Read more

Review:I was forced to read this for AP English, along with Dubliners. Joyce wrote this book with himself in mind - the main character's life is almost autobiographical. Therefore I don't want to insult Joyce himself, but the main character's attitudes were absolutely repulsive to me. Cynicism and outright pretentiousness can only take a man so far.

That being said, the writing is incredible, as can be expected. My issue with the book is the simply bitter aftertaste this person's attitude left i... Read more

Review:Joyce, man of Letters, fluent in Languages, Traveler in circles high and low and places near and far, Scholar of knowledge, Prophet to Mankind.

Joyce's Ulysses (is the story of a young man) whose framework is Homer's Odyssey: a tale of Modern-day Odysseus' personal existential/sexual quest overcoming his psychological internal travails (not Odysseus' external travails) affirming humanity (the fundamental family unit: the father, mother, son, and daughter). Joyce's FINNEGANS WAKE (is the s... Read more

Review:This book is amazing. I love all of the interactive features like wanted posters, the map of the magical world and the wand permit. It is a beautiful, very sturdy book and an amazing collector's item if you were a fan of the Fantastic Beasts movie. It features details about the characters, costumes and many of the props of the movie. Read more

Review:I keep thinking I was born at the wrong time. I missed the expatriat scene of Fitzgerald and Hemingway, the Beats, and Kesey and his counterculture scene. Wolfe's book may not be as good as being there, but it does help those of us born far too late to understand and enjoy the scene. Wolfe writes sympathetically and pretty much from the point of view of the Pranksters, as if he had been there for all of it (he wasn't). Wolfe is a fine journalist, and he does a great job here. I think this is a v... Read more

Review:The optimistic tint that I had hoped was somehow implied by the title of this book, which would make it an exception to the McCarthy rule, was pretty much not there. Pretty much. Instead, what I found was a story centered on illiterate Hill people, brain damaged hermits, LOTS of suffering, and the centerpiece, necrophilia. Sweet.

Woven into this narrative of suffering, and it's unique variant as experienced and created by the central character, are moments of prose, shining, like the sp... Read more

Review:I don't usually leave reviews but this book made me feel like I felt when I read my first KA book, Sweet Dreams. I fell in love with KA after reading that book, and all of those feelings came back with this one. It had everything and I felt everything, the pain and the love as if I was living it. It's a must read. Read more

Review:I'll admit it upfront. I am a Freakonomics lover! And I expected big things from Super-Freakonomics. And I received!

This book is terrific. Outstanding! Incredible!

Buy this book! This is the best book I have on my Kindle (and I have a lot of books)! Read more
