The librarian in our school discovered this book in the stacks and shared it with me. It quickly has become a favorite for many of my spanish bilingual students, who relate to the character, his family and his overwhelming circumstances. The home of the grandmother overflowing with relatives reminded me of my own extended family. The author created a character who is loyal. One of my girls took it home to read, I know we will read it again and again. It is a stirring little book.

My book is Eye of the Hurricane. Now I am going to tell you about my favorite part and what it is about. My favorite part of Eye of the Hurricane was when they did the lesson of the water. It taught me to understand the empty mind. My 2nd favorite part was when the instructor old the story about the hungry tigers. It taught me that you need to clear your mind to have an empty mind. This book was about understanding the empty mind and empty self. It tells you many different ways to understand them. Also, it told a great martial art adventure. This book was the best book about martial arts I've ever read.

If you love crime/mystery books... prepare to be spellbound. I love this book.

It was recommended to me along with the information that this great crime book "is impossible to make into a film." If you think Hollywood can do 'anything' with a book, read this and understand why it couldn't bring this to the screen. It's all in the pages that you will want to turn faster and faster.

This book is proof that movies can never surpass the art of novel writing.

P.S. The author on the cover, Cameron McCabe, is actually the name of the main character in the book. Adds to the intrigue.

A good book. I Enjoyed it. It shows us Jake and Nog before they grew up. I would like to tell you more but that would reveal the plot. I really really liked it.

This is an insightful, but ultimately sad, true story of modern Australian culture. It is set in a most bizarre university college in Australia in the 1990s. The story is one of reckless youth, trust, power structures, farce and betrayal. In it Dr Cameron has captured something quintessentially Australian and contemporary.

It is the story of an exceptionally gifted man, holding an important and ultimately symbolic position, over a period of five years as the Principle of an apparently unremarkable university college in Sydney. But the reader, like the author, is soon exposed to a rather alarming expose of modern youth culture. The casual, somewhat inauspicious beginning soon develops into an embroiling series of events; heated debates,'carpark conspiracies', the recklessness and idealism of youth, and the like; laced with side excursions, charming anecdotes, and insightful caricatures. But I can't find the words to properly convey my feeling of this books intensity, diversity, and worth, or the overall respect that I have for the author himself.

Dr Camerons charming style and eloquence speaks volumes over those with whom he had cause for argument, and whom ultimaltey caused his sad and ultimately 'resignation'. This is a story with deserves to be told, and it is told by someone with an extraordinary gift for the telling. Not for the faint of heart or mind, but a truly great and timely book nonetheless.

This is a great trek through the history of the Arizona basketball program. Lots of kewl pictures of Coach Lute Olsen and his team.

Cameron's approach beats the other guidebooks in its up to date assessment of the country's politics and history as it relates to each of the regions you plan on visiting. Relevant sidebar info is sprinkled throughout the book to provide the reader with something other than the usual monotonous listings of hotels, restarants, and places to visit--though she knows her stuff here as well. This book is the most currently published of all the other titles out there.

Mr. Holmes's love affair with, and possibly his night dreams (hopefully less traumatic than those of Mr. Cope) of dinosaurs reach embodiment in Fossil Feud. A result of over ten years' research, this book is informative and easy to read. The text is not only child-friendly but educational for adults like myself who have had little previous exposure to these fascinating creatures of yore. Mr. Holmes's scientific and historical exploration is detailed without being tedious, leading to a smoothly flowing narrative (as a historical writer, I know how difficult this can be!) I found the use of period photographs and drawings and the illustrations of Mr. Clement to be very engaging.

In addition to explaining the benefits and liabilities of scientific research as lived out by Messrs. Cope and Marsh, the author provides many other useful features within the covers of Fossil Feud. Mr. Holmes gently encourages the reader's further exploration of dinosaur lore by including a list of rules for what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur, diagrams of basic anatomical and physiological features of a dinosaur, a geologic time line, a listing of the 335 genera of dinosaurs in the order in which they were discovered, a reading list, and a listing of North American dinosaur museums.

Fossil Feud is a valuable tool, both educational and entertaining, which leaves no stone unturned, as it were, in its goal of completeness and accessibility. I highly recommend it.

Cameron Stauth actually followed the Detroit Pistons around for two championship years, and it appears he didn't even get in their way!

Instead of focusing on the drama of any one game, The Franchise follows the Pistons through their ups and downs over more than one season. From the draft rounds to the heartbreaking playoff losses, this book shows that running an NBA team is about much more than dribbling and shooting.

This book is excellent for anyone with even moderate knowledge of the game of basketball. It includes several colorfully written characters, such as a (somewhat milder) Dennis Rodman, years before he became a Chicago Bull. The only reason I don't give this book a '10' is because it isn't for everyone. Most fans are interested in the story behind the game, but some aren't.

Stauth also writes like a sports reporter, not a novelist. He details everything that goes on behind the scenes that fans never see. The many phone calls and callbacks that may or may not lead to a trade for a draft pick or a supporting player. The panicked decisions to find players to fill out the bench when a star goes down. He really does on excellent job of presenting the coach's and the GM's perspective: that NBA basketball isn't just about the superstars, it's about getting fans in the seats, giving them a good time, and using the money to put a COMPLETE and COOPERATIVE team on the court.

Sorel-Cameron's classic, but underapreciated masterpiece. The story of a disaffected youth growing up in a Britain of the not too distant future . "A Generation of the Dark Heart" is a powerful and epic novel about power, corruption, lost innocence and love, as the main character finds himself in power after taking over Britain in a militarty coup, and rapidly progressing to the position of the most powerful man in the country. Ok it sounds far fetched but it works. Sorel-Cameron's account of the break down of law and order, and the establishing of a militaristic/totalitarian state is so convincing. Its a frightening story and essential reading. It amazes me that this book is out of print, which is a real shame. If you see it anywhere please read it, its one of those books you'll never forget....
