The Best Book Ever
I loved this book. This was one of the best books I have ever read. I am a huge book worm and usually if I read a book more than once that means it's a good book and I have read this book 3 times and I loved it more each time. I recommened this book to anybody who believes in miracles!

I really, really liked this book and recommend it...........
I am reading this book right now and I think that it is a very good book. It is very interesting. It is about a girl who lives with her dad in a trailer park, in a trailer. Her mother died while she was young, and her dad is still single, job-less. She meets a really wonderful lady in the library and enjoys beign with her. Then she comes up with an idea. there's a lot more that maybe I will explain later, she tries to set them up.....


750 French Verbs and Their Uses
Published in Paperback by John Wiley & Sons (24 July, 1992)
Authors: Jan R. Zamir, Sonia Nelson Zamir, Jean-Philippe Mathy, and Rosemary McCluskey
Average review score:

A Great Book for an Intermediate to Advanced French Student
As the title indicates, the book lists 750 verbs and demonstrates their uses with sample sentences. It is not the same as the usual verb book which lists and conjugates many of the most basic verbs, but instead it concentrates on the meaning of more advanced verbs and supplies sample sentences. The book is intended for someone who already has a basic knowledge of French. In the main text, the verbs are not conjugated, but there is an appendix at the end of the book of grammatical tables in which verbs are conjugated. The author assumes that the reader already has a knowledge of basic verbs such as "to be", "to speak", "to go", etc. but instead dwells on more advanced verbs, such as s'insister pour que (+ the infinitive) meaning to insist on or opter entre quelque chose meaning to choose among a group of things. The book does demonstrate more complex usages of some of the simpler verbs - for example, parler dans quelque chose meaning to speak into something such as a microphone, or laisser quelque chose meaning to leave something (somewhere or for someone). Sentences are given for each verb which I found extremely helpful, although it is necessary to go to the appendix if you are not sure of the conjugation of the verb.
Overall, I believe this book would be very helpful in improving the grammar and vocabulary of an intermediate to advanced French student.

Improved my French beyond any doubt
The are many books on French verbs but the emphasis is usually on conjugations. What distinguish this book from others is that it is focused on how to actually use those verbs. I am surprised to find that I am the first person to review this book because it is so useful. Before I had the book, there were many verbs which were only in my "passive" vocabulary -- i.e. when I read or hear them, I would have a sense of what they mean. After reading this book, however, many more verbs have become part of my "active" vocabulary. This means that I can now actually use them in a conversation. The examples given in the book have helped me to have a much better grasp of how and when to use those. I am very pleased with the improvements I have made. What I do with the book is that everyday I would read a couple of pages at random. After reading the examples given for a particular verb, I would imagine myself in situations where I can use the verb. This has proven to be a very effective way to integrate the words learned into my vocabulary.


Aliens: Book Two
Published in Paperback by Dark Horse Comics (July, 1992)
Authors: Mark Verheiden, Denis Beauvais, Randy Stradley, and Mark A. Nelson
Average review score:

Alien3? What's that?
The sequel to Book One, this may be as good. Although it lacks the first installment's insightful monologues due to is shortness, it again thoughtfully presents insanity and power in a way more effective than any movie could do it. The artwork is fully painted and is breathtaking. The spaceships are excellently designed with the characters faces detailed and sensitive. The tormented love story at the centre of the piece is unspeakably moving. Should the writer ever wish it, his work could be up there with John Wyndham and the artist could be on a par with the brothers Hildebrandt. Buy this masterpiece!

An awesome continuation of the Aliens saga
The art in this book is some of the comic book industry's best. It is obvious, as you read, that pieces of this book were used in the Aliens Resurection movie sequel. The military tries, and fails, to control and use the alien species as a biological weapon. This book was written before "Aliens 3", so look for a grown-up Newt. Ripley makes a brief appearance as well.


Aliens: Outbreak (Dark Horse Collection.)
Published in Paperback by Dark Horse Comics (December, 1996)
Authors: Mark Verheiden, Willie Schubert, and Mark Nelson
Average review score:

one of the best
This is one of the best Aliens graphic novels ever. In Outbreak, the government brings Wilks, (supposed to be Hicks) out of prison to lead an expedition to the Alien planet in order to secure a specimen. Wilks in the process decides to free Billie (newt) from the mental hospital she's in. In the midst of all this, various cults form around the worship of the alien, conspiracies are abound, and there is fierce competition of who will get the Alien specimen to Earth first. The story is extremely well crafted, it has great plot surprises everywhere and in the conclusion it actually teaches us something about human nature. The art wasn't the best, but it was good nevertheless for such a lengthy comic. Well done dialogue, well crafted characters and a great story make this a must buy for every alien fan.

a very good comic with interesting characters.
Out of all the aliens comics and books i have read this is the best.It tells about the new sightings of xenomorphs and also about Hicks and newt 13 years after the second movie. There names are changed though because of complications around the third movie. it has more plot and less aliens which is actually better. the aliens are hardly even seen until the end. the very end of the comic is amazing. it's really nice how it revolves around many different characters who are all important to the plot but mainly don't interact with eachother. it's a great opening to the aliens series and completly surpasses the movies. choose this comic above all.


Amberleigh
Published in Paperback by Tor Books (December, 1992)
Author: Carole Nelson Douglas
Average review score:

Read it Twice
I thought that it was a great novel. I completly agree that [the lack of sexual scenes] has a positive impact on the book. I liked the character developement and Amberleigh's sprightly character. It is a fun read and worth a shot.

Amberleigh is definitely a keeper!
This is a great book! I have read a few romance books and have always been discouraged by their sexual content. One major plus about Amberleigh is that there are no sex scenes at all. The book focuses on a young girl who is forced into a lower quality life than she once hoped for, by a friend's mother and a costly death. She accepts this way of life, and therefore proves her true friendship. She struggles with self-image problems, but also stays true to herself and her ideals. It is easy to identify with Amberleigh and her problems. One also can't help but have sympathy for her, as she struggles with more than one dark secret that could cost her life. This is definitely a keeper, and has long since found a spot on my shelf!


America Balkanized: Immigration's Challenge to Government
Published in Hardcover by Amer Immigration Control Fndtn (February, 1994)
Author: Brent A. Nelson
Average review score:

Well-written, eye-opening likely future for America
Author predicts America will become a multiracial state due to non-White immigration. This will lead to increased racial problems and groups will seek their own racial enclaves in the US. Leaving us like the Balkans. Our once great opportunity will be lost.

I especially liked the information on and the analysis of multiracial states like Brazil and Belgium. I've read it twice and it's worth the wait. Readers might also want to consider "My Awakening" by David Duke who offers a excellent though blunter analysis.

Shows where America is headed and why
This book is an excellent source of information on what America's future is under the present (since 1965 to now) policies on immigration. The USA is headed for a Balkans type civil war, a real "civil war" this time. It reinforces what Thomas W. Chittum has already pointed out in his book Civil War Two. Be prepared, because like it or not, it's coming.

Not just "Burning Man" but obscure funky happenings...
This takes precendence over "Roadside America"...for ultimate in eccentricity. Includes Texas Aggie Bonfire, (World record on height,'69) as a last minute choice just after the Nov.'99 accident, of which there is a commemorative statement. To add send inquiries to: americabizarro@hotmail.com

This Book is for everyone who just can't stomach one more summer roadtrip to overrated, overdone and overpriced attractions. Hell, the Big Mouse down South doesn't need any more of your hard earned money... so get a copy of America Bizarro and start checking out the freaks, geeks and charming underbelly of the land of the free to be you and me.


The Army
Published in Hardcover by Levin Associates (09 November, 2001)
Authors: Harold Nelson, Bruce Jacobs, Raymond K. Bluhm, and Army Historical Foundation (U.S.)
Average review score:

Worth it for the Pictures and Painting Alone
As an active duty Captain I was given this book by my father who is an Army Colonel. A great tabletop/bookshelf book with a history of the army which is enlightening, particulary the many photos and captions. The history is the chapters themselves is somewhat simplistic and "politically correct." Some of the Army's less glorious moments are conviently written out or glossed over or sanatized rather than dealt with in a forthright manner - i.e. the Indian wars, Civil War (southern generals are pictured but not discussed in depth), Bonus Marchers, etc. This doesn't take away from it being an excellent primer on the Army, its history, organization, values, and goals.

The many included paintings from Don Stivers, Rick Reeves, Mort Kunstler really make this edition shine. I think nearly every US Army Stivers print has made it into this edition. If you love military art this is a great value.

Four out of five stars for the sanitized P.C. history of the army. Five for the illustrations, paintings, pictures, and nice binding of this edition. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a well illustrated U.S Army history.

The Army
This book is an excellent source for anyone interested in military service history. My hats off to BG Nelson, General Sullivan, and General Shinseki for a great book. This brings to light events with which the Army is involved. Think about it, the Army brings in names like Powell, Shalikashvili, & Shinseki. All three brought in their own histories that greatly impacted the way the Army does business, and how it creates opportunities not for just a few, but for everybody wishing to commit to military service. I salute the U.S. Army for a great historical record.


Battle Lines (Focus on the Family Presents Adventures in Odyssey Audio Series, Volume 38)
Published in Audio Cassette by Tommy Nelson (October, 2002)
Authors: Katie Leigh, Walker Edmiston, and Tommy Nelson
Average review score:

Awesome!
Well, other than the fact that I would wake up early every saturday mornings to listen on the internet, it teaches a very important lesson. I'll start at the begining:

1. The main idea is to put your faith in religion, rather than science, but it doens't just teach in one episode, but takes it to the extreme and shows that when all hope seems lost, pray, and trust everything in god.

2. The storyline is terrific! I won't spoil any surprises, but I will tell you this:

-Novacom releases this "Novabox" thats supposed to heal you.
-Someone is trying to steal the Imagination Station!
-Oh no! Murders?
-Some students figure out the secret of the Novabox & go to the utter extreme to try to destroy it.
-Bill Riely's wife is back because of the Novabox?!?!
-Did Bill Riely really blow up the tower!?
-Many EXTREME surprises

Well, if you are a fan of Adventures in Odyssey, and radio dramas, then I suggest that you go out and buy it!

Hang on for the Climax
Novacom is growing stronger. In spite of all Whit and the gang have done, they seem to be gaining support. And it's not exactly like they're doing anything wrong. Or is it? Slowly, the kids begin to uncover some things that just aren't right. But will Whit, Jason, Connie, Tom, and the others figure things out in time?

Every one of these 12 episodes contributes to the Novacom story is some form or other. The writers have done a good job of building this story. But, if you think you know where this story is going, don't bet on it. There are several surprises in the story line here and everything ties together perfectly for the ending. I was glued to my seat waiting to reach that climax, too. They also do a good job here of tying in elements from their many years on the air. I loved some of the references to episodes from their first couple of seasons.

Fans waiting to see how the Novacom storyline resolves itself will be thrilled with the outcome. If you've missed the last couple of collections, you'll want to go back and hear them before you listen to this one so everything makes sense.
