This anthology by a group of Oklahoma mystery writers cleverly uses animals to help solve the various crimes. For example, Moira K. Wiley's story, "Old Mack Donald's Ghost", features an emu. One cautionary note--husbands and boyfriends don't fare too well in some of these tales so all of you men be sure to check your egos at the door!!

AMBER MOMENT is a well-plotted and seamless story, never failing to hold my interest. Each scene led into the next in a logical progression, nothing was out of place. Nothing, not even a single word, was superfluous. And though at first the plot seemed predicable, there were turns that took me completely by surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Be warned, though, it has steamy sex scenes, which, mercifully, didn't dominate the story. The characters were realistic and intelligent. It makes me want to read more by this author.

This book was great. This book helped my daughter to get an A on her science project.

An excellent cumulative review with ample explanations and review problems. Wonderful to teach or review for high school students or adults with the need to rekindle basic math/algebra skills.

Book two; Miss Pym boards a stagecoach and finds herself involved in the sad situation of Miss Belinda Earle (heiress banished) who has decided NEVER to marry! Too bad for her; she's delightfully pretty and falls under the spell of an austere bachelor who disdains romance... Seems like a likely pair? Some people don't think so and make every attempt to squelch the relationship. Then...Miss Pym to the rescue. Highly entertaining !

John Marion has written a very readable account of how to buy affordable antiques at Sotheby's Auction House in new York. He takes you through the process of registering and bidding in a common sense way that takes the mystery out of the process. In addition, he makes a compelling argument that many of the objects you buy at a department store might better be purchased at a reputable auction house as investments which you can enjoy for years to come. The Best of Everything is a tresure in itself.

I read Anthologies. I read them alot, and one thing I've noticed is that there is usually at least one story that just isn't worth the trouble of reading it. This is one book where this was not a problem.

Since this book is a collection of stories from a magazine there are many types of subjects with only the magazine as a common thread among the seperate stories. This is a departure from current anthologies and actually kept me interested throughout the book.

Great for subway rides!

This is a great book to inspire you and make you laugh. She tells it like it is and keeps you in stitches. I recommend it highly!

Just when I got depressed about the direction of the social capital debate, this bookcame out. Orr, gets it right. Social capital explains a lot about how local politics unfold, but there are also other things going on, and social capital can applied in an intagroup or intergroup context. The social capital book to read this year. Forget Putnam, Read Orr!

Excellent, practical and easy to read. Blood group antigens have been a confusing topic and few people can present it as well as Dr. Reid.

The book is well organized, gives you all the important facts and the clinical significance of each antigen. Truely a superb gathering of very practical facts. I strongly recommend it to clinicians, residents and medical students. This book has the facts you need for making decisions .
