As Christians, we must defend our rights and our nation from internal attack. When asked by the IRS to conduct an audit of your return, the very best thing to say is, "Is it mandatory or voluntary for me to let you see my private books and records?" Just watch, they will never answer - because it's VOLUNTARY! The courts have said so! It HAS TO BE voluntary, otherwise it would be a violation of your 4th and 5th amendment rights! You NEVER have to let the IRS see your records - even if they send you a summons, all you do is show up and claim the 5th each time they ask a question, or to see a document!! The book never tells you this!!

This story centers around little owl who is lost, and proceeds to have page-after-page of dialogue with several animals of where home is.

I got the feeling while reading this book to my children, that the author was a frustrated, unemployed poet, who was reduced to writing children's stories. It read as if the author was trying to emulate Margaret Wise Brown (Goodnight Moon), but falling far short of the mark.

I'd say it's probably best for the 5-8 yrs audience, but I'm affraid they'll be bored. 3-4 yrs. won't get it. The story has moments of tranquility, but has more moments of confusion.

This book is a little difficult to follow. The editoral review said that you only need some familiarity with excel but I found this to not be the case. You will need to be at least at the intermediate level with excel to follow some of the examples and many of the problems in the book. Some examples are unclear and no answers are given to the questions. However if you are able to follow the book, the practical applications will be benefical to managers.- Even though there are better applications than excel that managers can use.

Was not a good source of entertainment or insight into Spanish culture. The best stories were mildly amusing at best and after a while I developed a strong dislike for the narrator. This book is still available in England, don't waste your time or money buying it.

The first half of the book is written by Seamus MacNeil, who passed away a few years ago, and was very much responsible for spreading knowledge of the Highland Bagpipe around the world. Unfortunately, much of that knowledge is less than accurate. The second half of the book is much more entertaining. It is written General Richardson, who studied with John MacDonald of Inverness. Richardson has also passed on, sadly. But he is a great story teller, and even though he is not as technically minded as MacNeil I found his half of the book most useful because he manages to get his love of the music across without puffing himself up in the process.

First, a warning: do not buy this book if you're thinking of curling up by the fire at home during the weekend, lying back, and learning about the colorful and exotic world of ancient Pompeii and foreign Roman society via colorful and provocative pictures of ruins and paintings.

This book is purely an architectural study. But it's material like this that's used by other writers to scribe the interesting books with lotsa pictures. Hey, I didn't enjoy reading it during my Pompeii class, I probably wouldn't have read it at all if the Prof hadn't assigned it, but it helped me to familiarize the city of Pompeii and its principal ruins. And I'm not saying that I did great in the class either, but the book helped.

There are no pictures. But anyone who's REALLY interested in Pompeii should read this.

Also, buy the paperback: it's much less expensive and easier to carry. Peace.

My third-grade son read this book and summed it up, "The movie was better." The book followed the story from the movie, but it was dull and unimaginative. I expected that it would be colorfully written, with some humor, but it was just plain boring. Also, it is way too easy for 9-12 year olds.

This book was very poorly written. It goes back and forth between a vampire girl and a regular guy, and there difference. Her vampires do not match the vampires of "today". There is no story here.

There was considerable hype preceeding the publication of this book. The attention was fueled by Richardson's political career as a fixer, shaker and head kicker. There was prmise that the book would 'reveal all'. However, the hype was just that hype. Richardson joins the dots on his career, and mentions all the right names and his contact withthem. There certainly wasn't anything controversial in the book. Oh, Richardson does admit that politicians do occasionally lie. I think that was obvious.

Better check your spelling on the title!

[p.s., I haven't read the book, so please eliminate my 1-start rating from your calculations]
