While nowhere near as good as his childrens' books Roald Dahl still shows great wit and his affinity for weirdness in this book.

I think this was a very good book, because I understood much more about the play when I read the cliff notes, that really helped me to get an A on my essay on All's well that ends well.

You'll need a library table to properly read or simply refer to particulars about specific chairs or makers, or even regional characteristics. It is the standard reference on the subject. But for a subject that often shines with the beauty that so many people appreciate about American decorative arts, the book is a bit stiff in its appearance, particularly if you're familiar with Charles Santore's two books on the same subject. Where his is a visual feast, hers is a compendium of the most up-to-date knowledge on the subject.
Together, they provide all you'll need to know and appreciate about American windsor chairs.

Following the obligatory rah-rah section on members of the present royal family (up to 1973, anyway), this volume is mostly a detailed lineage of all rulers of England, Scotland, and Wales, beginning with Cerdic the Saxon. Doubtful or questionable names or con-nections are carefully noted. From George II on, the list of descendants is complete and very detailed. An excellent reference tool, especially for the post-1700 period.

This is a heart-rending tale of the saddest love story of the twentieth century. Drawn together by emotion they were torn apart by the circumstances of their lives and ended their time together in great communion with each other but estranged from the rest of the world.

I have been reseaching a trip to the United Kingdom, and found this book at Amazon. It is very informative about London and the surrounding areas. It also included $1000 worth of coupons for hotels in and around London. Also included were coupons for guided tours around the area. There are histories of all the popular tourist attractions, and the price ranges of each. The book makes suggestions of what to see and do in the time you have alotted. There are tips that help you get started,by even helping you choose plan your flight. The maps inlcuded are very easy to follow and help you choose your destination. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are interested in an educational tour of London and the surrounding areas.

Written in an easy going style this book is a good introduction to the vernacular of the windsor chair. Readers may find that their curiosity about the subject is increased somewhat because of this book.

The first thing that drew my attention to this book was as usual the cover. But then I couldn't put it down! I went back to the store to find more of her novels. The most recent one I've read is Hawaiian Temptress. I just love family sequels!

When I first saw this book I thought the description on the front cover, "Jurassic Park meets Lord of the Flies", was a bit corny. I was, however, pleasantly surprised when I could not put the book down. We all wonder what it would be like to be shipwrecked on a desert island. The characters are completely believable, as at first they think they have found paradise but when they realise no rescue is coming, will do anything to survive. There are definitely some undertones to "Lord of the Flies". The only complaint I have is that the ending seemed too rushed and not completely satisfying. Still, worth the read.

This book was extremely good. The characters were well developed and believable. Though its somewhat dated, it's still really enjoyable. You truly won't want to put it down as you read about Martin and his life.
