This Book was really great. I loved the action and the scam. It was great. I really think that people 10 and up would enjoy this book alot.

I rented this book from the library and read it in about two hours. I love the action and the suspense of the book. I would reccomend this book to anyone who is 10 or older.

I recieved this book in the mail today from amazon.com.About a half hour ago I finished it and I was really pretty disapointed.the mystery part was very good but a bit confusing.they did mention the whole Nancy/Frank thing although very dicreetly.that should have been brought up more but tahts just my opinion.Maybe if i read the book again it will come across more clearly.

This book (obviously) showcases Drew Hayes' early work. At first, he begins as the King of Crosshatching, but as one reads through the graphic novel, the art style truly begins to evolve into cleaner lines. I give four stars rather than five because, while I love this book, and the series, I don't feel that The Mulehide Years really is Drew Hayes' best work. It is a great, well-paced read and the characters are complex. He has a gift for mixing one-liners into otherwise dark moments. I do highly recommend it if you're curious about Poison Elves, because, as any fan of the series will tell you, even the minor characters are going to show up again. Also, the interview with the main character is well worth the price.

drew hayes has developed a fully convincing and original fantasy world here. nothing like you've seen in popular movies or books. lusiphur is on par with john constantine for the greatest anti-hero ever. check this out, you won't be disappointed.

wow. this was just an excellant book. kept me wanting to read on. it really was a good choice. i highly recommend it.

These recipes look delicious and healthy, but I didn't know they would be so involved. I have never even heard of some of the ingredients, so I doubt I'd find them at my local grocer. I do love the idea of using vegetable juices instead of butter, etc.

If you care about good food and like to cook, if you want to heat healthfully and like to serve seasonal food, Taste, Pure and Simple is the book for you. The photos are gorgeous but it's Nichan's fresh, enthusiastic, and reassuring voice that convinced me to cook these dishes. They are easy but sophisticated and all of them taste great. This book is fantastic for anyone who cares about their time in the kitchen, the environment, and their health.

If you want to eat incredible food while at the same time improving your health...get this book!! Perfect for those that want to improve their heart health as many of the recipes include heart healthy oils such as olive oil. I would also recommend combining this book with a new book called "The Power of Positive Habits" which teaches you how to automatically achieve better health by incorporating new positive habits into your lifestyle. A great combination for healthy eating and overall improved health.

This book is a witty and very clever look at Spanish society. I found most of what I read to be so incredibly true that I was laughing out loud. There are some parts which I found to be less than accurate, in my experience at least, and for that I give it four stars instead of five. Other than that, I highly recommend it. Do take it with a grain of sand however.

good coverage of all spanish quirks. my friends in spain loved it

I'm a Spanish and I enjoyed this book very much because everything it says is true. All the topics are treated with lots of humour and that makes the book really enjoiable. Furthermore, while you are having fun reading the book you learn of the Spanish way of life...

Nancy, Bess and George go to Emerson University for their annual June Week celebration and are invited to stay at an old mansion on Pine Hill. The owner of the mansion tells Nancy about a phantom which apparently inhabits the library of the home and also he relates a strange story about a French wedding dress and valuable gifts which were lost during the sinking of the Lucy Belle in a nearby cove over 100 years before. This book is easily the best of the Nancy Drew books from the mid thirties and higher. So many of the books from #36 onward are little more than tour guides with a mystery built around them. This book; however, is not like that. The mystery is rather enjoyable and; generally, the book kept me interested until the end. One thing that I particularly liked about this book was that Nancy and her friends actually were involved in capturing the crook, unlike in most of the books where; usually, Nancy does all of the work, but ultimately, it is the police who come in, save the day and capture the criminal. My only complaint with the book was that it could have used a little more action. I think that any fan of the series would enjoy reading this book.

I am 35 yrs old and I still read Nancy Drew. My favorite is Phantom of Pine Hill, it's a classic! The setting, characters and plot are still memorable from when I originally read it, when I was 12. Nancy has and always will be my heroine, she taught me to be sensible and unafraid. She is a great role model for young girls, and this book is the best one to start a collection with! I have been unable to put this story to bed in over 23 yrs.

I'm 34 years old now and I have a 3 year old daughter. I can't wait until she's 9 and can read my old Nancy Drew mysteries. Readers - do you remember how exciting it was to get your newest Nancy Drew for your birthday or Christmas? I sure do! I'd rush back to my room and absolutely "inhale" Nancy's adventures. What a wonderful time I had with Nancy - and now I will soon get to experience it on a different level with my girl. The Phantom of Pine Hill was classic Nancy Drew. I opened it the other day and found where I had personally drawn pictures at the end of each thrilling, chilling chapter. This was the early 70's so Nancy, Bess and George all sported bell-bottoms and tube tops! Would love to hear from young or old fans of Nancy.

I loved this comic. I found it an absolute hoot, and would whole-heartedly recommend it. However, it's dark humor and somewhat rough presentation might not be to everyone's taste. Not sure? Here's a simple test. Rent Mel Gibson's 'Payback.' If you find yourself cracking up periodically, unable to explain your hilarity to any confused companions, I don't doubt that you will adore Poison Elves.

This reprint of Drew Hayes' oringinal Mulehide Graphics Poison Elves series is quite well done. While those who are only familiar with his later works would see the trade paper back as crude and not well practiced, others will definately relish in all the history it has to offer. The later comics do hint at what is contained in the earlier issues, but it is best to read it here and get all the details in full black and white. Further, it is always enjoyable to see where a favorite comic started and how it has evolved to what it is today. That is probablly what makes this book most enjoyable.

If you're looking at getting a copy of Poison Elves: Requiem for an Elf because you're only familiar with Drew's comics at Sirius, than definitely buy this book. If you're looking to replace your copy that you've read time and time again until it was in nothing but tatters, I don't need to convince you, but for everyone else out there, you just have to own a copy of this book.

Poison Elves follows the story of Lusiphur Amerellis Malache, a raven-haired elf that grew up on the streets. From an early age he learned how to fight, steal, and kill just to survive. Now 19 in elf years, or roughly 133 in human years, he's on the run from the law yet again.

This graphic reprints the first six issues of I, Lusiphur which was Poison Elves original name. The first two comics are redone in prose form in this graphic. Don't skip over them. Drew is great with his prose and there's all sorts of good stuff in there.

In Issue One and Two Lusiphur meets a villainous necromancer that captures the Elf, and ripps out Lusiphur's eye in order to raise the demon Six-Tell Amalah. Luse escapes and goes to the healer Lirilith, a beautiful elf that is his best friend, and she manages to heal him in just in time, because someone has to die, either Six-Tell Amalah or Lusiphur and the demon is immortal....

In book three Lusiphur is injured once more, and is crawling through the woods when a kindly old man takes him in and helps him heal. But nothing is as it ever appears in the Poison Elves world...

In book 4 we first meet the blond elf Jace, or Jason. Pay attention to his cameo, he'll play a very important role later. This is also the first appearance of the Purple Marauder. He's far and away one of the best villains ever. You'll see what I mean

Book 5 and 6 has Luce stealing a very powerful gem, not because he wants to, but because of a life debt years and years old...

If you like you comics edgy, and filled with action, black comedy, and a kickin' good time than stop reading this and buy the book!

685 pages divided by 31 chapters and 6 big parts. The big parts are: Linux basics (entering commands, using text editors, etc, everything on the command line), Configuring your system (from the command line), The X window system (with an overview of multimedia tools), Connecting to the ISP (and using email, FTP, browsers, telnet and IRC), system administration (basic programming and shell programming, boot managers, users, network connections, daemons, FS, kernel,...) and appendices.

This book pretends to teach how to do things not why you need to do this or that. So this is a practical book and, because linux is evolving fast, it is outdated.

Another problem of the book is that there are many authors, each responsable for a chapter or so, and there is no good coordination between them. This brings some repeated things and a feeling of no constant evolution in complexity or evolution on the presentation himself.

This book has repeatedly saved me when I needed information that the man pages are too arcane to provide. I used the book for practical suggestions on how to use the grep utility to search for multiple terms. And, it was the only UNIX book I could find that gave practical and meaningful suggestions about how to configure the modem via the command line.

Get this book, it will save you a lot of time!

This book is one of the rare guides which is organize not by what the author knows but what are the typical problems you (the reader) have to solve. I would call it "How to.." book. Almost every time when I need to mount the disk, add the device I found exact instructions how to do it and it worked.

I am not very experienced Linux user (< 2 years) and I found this book just right for me.

This book has a couple of really good nuggets of information. However, like the other Reality series books, it's over crowded with talk about methodology, fake meetings, requirements gathering, and other stuff. That's fine for one book, but all three books have the same generic information over and over.

If the book concentrated specifically on working with Java in ColdFusion, it would have been much better. The book is worthwhile for the small pieces of information it offers, but be realistic with your expectations.

This book provided us with some valuable hints and suggestions that have helped guide our company's e-business. The section of the book on the E-Commerce application gave us alot of great ideas but the most helpful was the section on the Customer Relationship Managment tool (section 4). We implemented something that was very close to what was described and it appears to be a very solid long term solution.

Great concept, well written, good topic. This book takes a different
approach than other technology books. To start, 5 applications are
developed - all apps are useful and relevant. You are taken through the
whole development process, from problem to conception to development and
wrap-up. This allows you to really understand the process involved with each
application - why it was built the way it was and even where else you could
take it and how. All the good and relevant J2EE concepts are introduced to
the ColdFusion developer, not only how to use them, but why.

The code alone is worth way more than the cost of the book. I highly
recommend it for anyone who already has a basic understanding of ColdFusion
(beginners should start somewhere else first).

The Secret of Shady Glen was a very good book with bone-chilling discoveries. It was not that scary though creepy and good. In this book, Nancy Drews helps her friend Joanna to find her lost hidden gold but she is threatened and was trapt in a tomb with her friend Bess. I finished it in a day!

Nancy's friend Joanna has inherited a fortune in gold, but no one knows where it is. Nancy, of course, takes on the case. She is distracted, however, by the rash of burglaries that have been taking place in the neighborhood, and by the threats of the school bully. Secret passages, gloomy graveyards, and Houdini style escapes make this Nancy Drew a standout.

Oh, of all the nancy drew books i have read (and that's a lot) i think this 1 must B my favorite! Nancy is dealing w/ a graveyard and tons of other sticky situations, this book is absolutely and must have!

All right, I have to admit that this book may be a plain old detective story throughout the book, but if you just be patient it gets better towards the end, such as Nancy's daring attempts (and close ones) to catch the criminals. Also, in one way this book can be sort of hilarious near the middle. It's where Senor Segovia says, "I'm sure I know where Carson Drew is, because of a source of information I have." Yeah right, like they can get him that easily! But still, it's funny and later Segovia is correct. So it's a good book, even though that part may have been the author's big mistake.

This book was neat because of the two strange cases, and just why would theives not take anything. Still, it became clear of the story. I surely knew who was suspicous. However I didn't know what the outcome was and I was glad I didn't know. It was also surprising that there are these "sink holes" in Florida! I'm just glad that I read this book and that it is so good.

Nancy and friends work on two mysteries while in Florida. One an elderly lady claims her house is frequently burglarized and her home ransacked but nothing is ever taken. The other, Nancy must find a way to stop an international ring of stamp forgers and smugglers.
