I found this book an entertaining and enjoyable read. The narrative flowed well, even across switching perspectives. The story line did not challenge 'suspended disbelief' through out the whole book. The characterizations seemed consistent with the plot action. The settings drew me into the scenes. I must admit this is the first 'Romance novel' that I have purchased since my shared history seventeen years ago with the author. I was curious as to the development of her fiction since then.

Excellent story for young kids. My 2 1/2 year old wants it read and reread. I think he really like the rhyme scheme. It provides a simple, but true understanding of Jonah and the big fish!

i found this one by accident in a used book store, never read anything by arthur lyons before. enjoyed it tremendously! people who like hard boiled detective stories, especially ones set in LA, will probably enjoy this. i'm now looking for other arthur lyons stories but they are almost all out of print.

The depth of place and character displayed in "The Last Good Man" intensifies the experience of Mr. Lyons' much-loved and wildly humorous first novel, "Dog Days." If you read that book, this collection of stories offers you the same, quirky humor, some of the same characters in different situations, and the short story that grew into the novel. If you have yet to read "Dog Days," I encourage you to see the reviews for Mr. Lyons' novel on Amazon.com. You will not be disappointed.

In "The Last Good Man," Mr. Lyons is generous. He invites us into the secret fears and desires of his characters; we move quite close to them. The stories deal with questions of separation, jealousy, temptation, selfishness, violence and corruption. Our nearness to the characters pulls us into these questions, and we come away asking what we might do in similar circumstances. These stories are about dark and edgy subjects, but they are not draining. Instead, they are accessible, provoking, even uplifting. After we read them, we feel better for having read them, we take them with us as we move through our day and, like a slightly mysterious memory, we hold onto them for a long time.

This book is a wonderful story about different easter baskets and how the Easter bunny helps return 2 bunnies back to their basket. My daughter loves this book and we have read it so many times, the pages are falling out and we are ordering a second copy. She enjoys adding the sticker pictures too.

My three-year-old son is fascinated by earth moving equipment. He wants to know EVERYTHING about how they work and what they do. This book does not disappoint. It's heavily detailed, and extremely informative about all sorts of equipment (not just bulldozers). I found that taking a cross-section out of a ship we built from legos helped him understand what was happening in the pictures better. The text can be a bit boring, and by around the hundredth reading it can get irritating. But reading different sections of the book keeps it fresh, and the amazing amount of genuinely interesting information packed into this little book (and subsequently into my son's little head) makes it all worthwhile. The glossary in the back makes all the concepts involved really understandable, even to me, my son's non-technical mom. If your child is into diggers and dumpers, this book is a must.

A fun and romantic story, one of my favourite. A story of mistaken identity and amnesia,wooo! Romantic,romantic, romantic. The hero is tempermental and handsome, the heroein is nice and honest. A must read book.

I found this book to be very interesting in its depiction of Michigan as a territory. The book describes Lucius Lyons efforts in surveying the land, acting as liaison between the local native americans and settlers, and serving as Michigan's representative to congress. Many other business and personal details of the man are found in this book. I recommend it to those wishing to learn more about the settlement of Michigan.

I was hooked into this book from the beginning. The Making of a Schoolgirl is a story about a young girl named Becky and her experiences in an all-girl boarding school during the late-Victorian times. Though the book stated only a few events that occured during the school year, you get the general feeling of how life was for Becky. She meets other girls her age(she never really hung out with them before; her brother, Jack, was basically her only friend), and she learns about all their strange, quirky behaviors and manners towards others. I liked this book alot, and it's too bad that it's out of print.

I'm no muscle car expert and wasn't looking for an in-depth analysis of a particular car. I found this book to be a fun look at a few of the best and it includes some interesting insights into the companies and people behind them. If you're looking for a quick, easy read with a few beautiful color photos of the Judge, the Boss, the SS, the 442 and their kin, or if you know someone who is curious about the cars from movies like XXX, Fast and the Furious (Vin's old Dodge) and Bullitt, you'll like this one!
