I first learned of this book through the author, she was one of my college professors. I purchased this book for my daughter and she is always reading it - she loves it!

This book fabulous, a MUST have...I would highly recommend this book for any young family. It is extremely well written and honest to the truths of bringing a new child into a family...A definite keeper...

Excellent Graphics novel depicting the 2nd and 3rd books in the Myth Adventures. Books gives some greater detail into the past of you favorite characters such as "Ahhz" and "Tanda" that add depth the the original stories. Artwork is comical yet can pull off a very complex story rather well. A Must have for anyone who appreciates Phil Foglio's work, or anyone who has read any of the Myth Adventure series and enjoyed them.

This is a marvelous adaptation of Robert Asprin's Myth book. The writing is hilarious and, as always, Phil Foglio's illustrations add charm and humor. Those who enjoy this book may wish to read Robert Asprin's Myth series.

5 stars for the first 5 books in the Myth Adventures series. These books are hilarious, have great characters, and have good stories, too. I highly recomend.

Very funny, good story too. Irreverant tale of a mage that becomes a court magician. Easy reading, no profanity or explicit sex.

I love these books -- just the distraction I need from everyday life, heat/humidity, and boring co-workers. Everytime I read about Alex, Peter and Jean, I laugh a lot and have some fun. It's fun to have Jean have some nice romance, even if the boys don't handle it well!

Peter and Alex have been happily married for eight years. Although he loves his wife dearly, Peter feels most alive when he works with his life partner and his mother on a case for the CIA or FBI. Peter has a full time job while Alex has allowed his business to fade into oblivion since he only wants to work on another case. While he impatiently waits for the next call, he volunteers to work on the election campaign of Charlie Clarke, a senatorial candidate who supports gay rights.

However, the religious right has mounted a major attack on Clarke. Bomb threats happen daily at the candidate's campaign headquarters. The incidents become so regular that the workers openly joke about the threat. That changes when a bomb explodes and the body of the office manager is found in the debris. With Alex already an insider, the FBI tags him and Peter to make inquiries into the truth behind the explosion and murder. Their inquiries hit close to home, forcing the unknown perpetrator to attempt to kill Alex and Peter.

Alex is a terrific character who seems sort of like an adult Ferris Bueller; someone who, through his cocky confidence in himself, gets the job done. The romance between Alex and Peter seems realistic and inspiring. The story line is fascinating, especially a subplot starring Alex's mother and an enigmatic stranger. With novels likes this one, GOVERNMENT GAY and CAPITAL QUEERS, Alex is turning the talented Fred Hunter into a household name.

I loved this book, the characters were great and I dream of having a love like this. Buy the book you'll love it!

I fell in love with this book and its characters. Its a shame people don't really know about this book anymore since it is out of print. Get it while you can. It was a lovely story and hope there is still love out there like this one.

A fabulous path-breaking guide to law beyond the atmosphere. Readable yet profound, it is the first of its kind and rare among textbooks. A must read for technology buffs!

As a law student, I am very interested in space law and thought that I would have a hard time finding anything on the subject. I was wrong! This book provides an excellent summary of the whole field; it's also clearer and better-written, not to more interesting, than most legal casebooks. It also contains a lot of useful reference material that would be handy to have on a shelf in law practice. Great!

if your into the men who flew this a/c then buy this book. half of this book is written on individual men who flew it, what happened to them then and where they are now. it also breaks down kills of the aircraft by ww2 combat units. 97 squadrons, 37 groups. very good read. bolillo_loco

If you're the type of person who wants to know the details, then this is one of the books you must have. Photos and information contained in this book are not found elsewhere. Pamela Reynolds-Woods is not an aviation author I recognise, but I would not hesitate to buy another of her aviation books, particularly a P-38 book. Facts are compressed into one, two, and three page summaries of specifications, battles, campaigns, theaters, fighter groups and squadrons, and personal stories. A number of important lists are herein, and not in any other of the 40+ P-38 books I've read. Some 50+ bios on pilots and crew-chiefs are here, look no further. Want to know about WASPs and the P-38, they're here too. Check your 6, and your wallet now. Go get one.

Some one has to reprint Price's Biblical work. It's too precious and profound, too meaningful. We can't lose it. Price has written some of the most beautiful and illuminating words about scripture that I have ever read. Read his work on the gospels. Treasure it. Anne Rice, New Orleans, La.

Having read this book, I can't for the life of me comprehend why it is no longer in print. In addition to an introductory essay that aspiring storytellers of all stripes could benefit from-novelists, short storyists, playwrights, etc.-it contains fresh translations of Bible tales we all thought we knew from Sunday school. In Price's hands these once-familiar tales become strangely exotic, as though we were reading them for the first time. Yet their clarity of language and immediacy of purpose inspire and illuminate our understanding, making them especially accessible for those who see the King James Version a beautiful but archaic piece of poetry.

Price's translations of Mark and John in his THREE GOSPELS led me to seek out this hard-to-find volume. Though known for his fine fiction, Price is shortchanging us with his all too infrequent forays into the world of biblical literature. After finishing THREE GOSPELS and A PALPABLE GOD, one wishes Price would undertake his own translation of the entire Old and New Testaments and cast a new light on a book sadly seen as old and dusty by so many.

This handy book gives excellent information on the various topics of pediatric echocardiography. The spiral bound and the weight makes it easy to bring everywhere you go. Forget about all those 300 page heavy hardcover textbooks! This book is the book for you! It contains valuable information as well as informative photographs. This book is the book for you!

So much information, all of it relevant, in so little space! The information is easy to find and clearly presented. However, the book does not teach you how to do it, only what to look for. There is only two drawbacks: the book is a bit big, and the quality of the paper is not too good. Both a pity, since you will want to bring this one along.

In this sweet children's story, Reynolds Price tackles one of life's most difficult subjects, a youngster's loss of a parent. Ben, who is eleven, after the death of his mother is left alone with only his father and a very old dog Hilda for company. And a couple of friends. "He was the only boy in school who had a girl for his best friend, and he could usually smile at Robin's [his cousin] joking. After his mother died, though, Ben's outlook changed; and he went on feeling sad for a long time." Rather than attempt to answer the unaswerable, Mr. Price lets Ben tell his story. And a fine and moving story it is. In this marvelous little tale, Ben prays for an elephant, the animal his mother has taught him to draw. "See, there's really no question at all that elephants are better than people. They always take care of their young, they never kill anything unless they have to, and they talk to each other over miles of distance in voices so deep we can't even hear them." This lad may be onto something here in my favorite passage from the story.

The characters are all well drawn and completely believable-- from Ben's friend Dunk to his father who sometimes handles his own grief by getting drunk. Ater all, malt may do more than Milton cab to justify God's ways. . . Ben's grief for his mother and loneliness are palpable. The story, however, never becomes maudlin. Ben copes and survives; and there is not a "grief counselor" within a thousand miles.

No one writing today is better with words than Mr. Price. His evocative, concise language is both beautiful and moving. I bet children love this story. This adult certainly did.

It's been a year since Ben's mother died, but he misses her daily. His only consolation is his love for elephants, which his mother loved too - his involvement in the life of a special elephant who has been a survivor brings a bond to both which can heal in this unusual story.
