This is a very good book. It's about a 12-year old girl named Cassie who was sexually abused by the man of the children she babysat. Reading this book makes you think about all the things going on today in this world. Especially that this book is a true-life story, it also may make you feel more protective of your-self. I have read another book of the same author, called Detour for Emmy. Both books can inspire their readers and teach a whole lot about the world.

Carolyn Hamilton writes with a commanding knowledge of her subject, in this case the Zulu founding king Shaka kaSenzangakona. Hamilton's efforts are essential reading for anybody who has wondered about the myth that is Shaka. She shows how he has been used to symbolise Zulu power, and how many Zulu historians have erred by casting him as a villain or a hero without having enough evidence to prove it. Hamilton's approach is highly refreshing. While she always respects the limitations of a subject that has bewildered many, her angle is intriguing. Her work ranks right up there with the great Zulu historians: John Laband, Jeff Guy and John Wright. And that is more than enough reason to purchase this book.

The book was probably published in the earlier 80's, as could be tell by the style of the lingerie and the hairstyle of the models. Other than the fact that some of the photos are rather grainy, everything else seem to click in this book.

This book is satiracal about so many 18th cent. issues including women's education, christianity, and british foriegn policy. It is a hard book to follow with a bunch of characters that are only in the book briefly. It is very funny and the country mouse in the city effect is very well done. Hamilton took this character and really breathed life into him. The only draw back would be the number of characters that appear briefly for very little effect throughout the novel.

This is an excellent, easy to read history of the heredity-environment controversy. The amount of details and research is impressive and would be very helpful to anyone doing a study on the subject (I was just reading it out of interest). Other than the odd title--the evolution controversy is virtually untouched in this book--this book delivers what it promises and more.

Her Dream Come True Was Becoming a Nightmare!

Allison Schuyler felt as if she was watching her medical career go up in smoke before it even got going. She had barely started her internship when chief resident Cruz Gallego began accusing her of being a rich, spoiled prima dona. Not only was he wrong, but it hurt to hear such things from the man she found herself falling for.

Then the drug thefts began, and suddenly Ally was suspected of much more than mere snobbishness. She knew she was innocent, but proving it was another matter. She needed Cruz's help to clear her name- just as she knew she needed his love to survive.

I don't review a lot, but I like to speak up for books that seem to me overlooked, especially if there is a risk of their going out of print, etc. Anyway -- there is a spate of books out there purporting to explain the mechanics of the market, but this one seems to me one of the best. It's analytically ambitious, but nothing beyond the comprehension of a serious amateur. It's also refreshingly free of the somewhat shrill celebratory preaching that you get so often in the genre. I've been pushing it on law students with no econ background & have enjoyed gratifying success. Please buy it so the publisher keeps it available.

I found this book to be very emotional. I really enjoyed it! The heorine is strong and the hero magnetic. The plot is well thought out and keeps you interested throughtout the story.

I have read many Simenon novels and this is one of his best. It deals with a moral dilemma and has a great set up with incredible suspense. A man mysteriously ends up with a suitcase full of money belonging to a mysterious stranger and goes on the run with it. The ending is a little bleak and I think could have been a little more satisfying, but the journey there is definitely worthwhile. An interesting psychological portrait of a man dirven by inexplicable impulses that he cannot come to terms with. Why we lie? Why we cheat? WHy we do self-destructive things? Those are the questions which plague Simenon and ourselves.

Another great collection of Sci-Fi Novels, a collection of Six stories that join into one big story... All of them have separate storylines which all coincide towards the end.

A great read for anyone on holiday and nothing much to do... Reads easily even if it is a bit on the childish side most of the time, a great read for kids getting into Sci-Fi and I certainly enjoyed it...

A bit of a change from Asimov ;Þ
