I read this book with a 5-year old starting school. George's story is very accessible, and the details of his life are so wonderfully and creatively silly, that both adult and child were sincerely giggling at every page. Chad Cameron's illustrations are artful and fanciful -- he has a profound visual sense of humor. This book would be wonderful for any kid, and especially those working through an adjustment to a new school (or home?) situation.

I came upon this book by chance and immediately had to buy it. For anyone struggling with religion and spirituality this book is for you. The book will inspire you to look beyond religion, to believe in yourself and others. In a few pages within the book the little dog states "I believe my friends have as much spirituality as any monk,each person carries a distinct and personal energy, we are each powerful and delicate, simultaneously." This book is fun and thoughtprovoking.

Fun spooky stories and a built-in flashlight. Just add the blanket to hide under, and you're ready to go.

Jewel Flannery is one of Pinkerton's best operatives: She doesn't give a damn about social norms, but is willing to use every trick in the book, plus all her feminine wiles to get the job done. Unfortunately, her concentration is shot-to-hell ever since she ran into riverboat gambler Brent Connors in her last few 'assignments.'

Brent Connors has seen Jewel with 3 different 'fathers,' in 3 different disguises, in as many months. Even though he thinks she's nothing but a con artist, he finds himself falling for her hard & fast. When her search turns up her real father, a famous jewel thief, she must choose which love is worth fighting for.

Even though the book lost me at times it is not the fault of the author but of my own brain. I have a mind that is not always capable of understanding what's going on. But I am aware of the problem and I do not blame the problem on the author, which I think a lot of readers do at times. This story could have had modern day situations in place of the old west. The theme is great, the characters well done, the story excellant, at the end there is a prolog very similar to that which was always used at the end of the Hitchcock films. If you like intrigue you need to find this book and go for it.

I bought this book hoping for a Linda Howard story I hadn't read, only to find the one in here is An Independent Wife. Good story, if you haven't read it yet, though. And if you like Stella Cameron, her contribution was worthwhile, as well.

Twenty years ago I was wandering the country, experiencing life and searching for something to fulfill me. Everything I had experienced so far had left me unfulfilled. I was lost, physically, mentally and spiritually. I was giving up!

One day, soon after I "gave up" I stumbled into an Indianapolis truck stop and found myself staring at a wire rack similar to the ones you see holding postcards. Instead, this one held paperback books. One book in particular immediately caught my attention. The title jumped out at me from the striking brown and gold cover. "Hello, I'm God and I'm Here to Help You" by Miriam Cameron.

When it came to organized religion, I was a skeptic at that time in my life. But the title grabbed me. I went outside and sat on the curb and began to read it. I was struck by how simply it read and though I had lost my dad when very young, I felt he wrote this.

I never knew my dad, never heard his voice or saw his face; in fact I know nothing of him. My mother passed away before I was old enough to ask. Yet the words and thoughts within the covers of this book blanketed me with love and understanding. Dad was here to answer my questions! I raced ahead through the pages in search of topics that addressed my philosophies and beliefs to see what dad would say.

In this book, never did he reprimand me or talk down to me, but rather understood my thoughts and appealed to my sense of right and wrong. Living in an era of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, it was pretty comforting to sit down with him and "fess up" and know it was okay.

Page by page, I was touched by a sense of belonging and comfort. I had disagreements with a few of his statements, but that was okay. It was clear his words were there to guide me and if I wanted guidance then these were his rules to abide by.

Each phrase listed references from the Bible and before long I decided I needed a Bible to check up on these thoughts of his. When I finally got my hands on a Bible and discovered how honest the translations were, my comfort and trust grew. Again I was struck with the warm and loving, conversational tone of the book. Then it hit me. My dad was God! I wept. Through Miriam Cameron's words, God sneaked into my life on that dreary afternoon in Indy.

The next ten to fifteens years I would struggle with my spirituality and Christianity. I would find myself reaching out for Miriam's book. Some of those times my "dad's" voice would become my mother's voice and I would find comfort again.

Countless times I would meet others struggling with their life of faith and I would pass "Hello, I'm God..." on to them. Days, weeks, even months later this book would be returned it to me, and I could see lives had been touched.

One day, a few years ago, I passed Miriam's book on to a very troubled woman I met as she was headed east and I west. I knew that was the last time I would see her or "my" book. Yet, even though those words are always there for me in the Bible, I find myself longing for that conversational tone and 'heart-to-heart' talk with good ol' "Dad".

So, today, I am in search of another copy of "Hello, I'm God and I'm Here to Help You" by Miriam Cameron. That doesn't surprise me after twenty years. What surprises me is how much I turn to those pages in my memory after twenty years.

How many books have I read that I can say that about? Well, I can tell you this is the first time I have ever written a review on book that wasn't required by a class in literature. Hmmm. It must have helped me.

If you like the moviestars of the eighties and nineties, this book is a must-have. It has short, simple, but very complete biographies of many popular moviestars. Also, a handy filmography. In the biography you`ll find comments on some of the movies - and tv-shows - your favorite star was in. The pictures inside are black and white, but usually very nice. Everything is in alphabethical order, so it`s very easy to find who you are looking for. If you like movies and moviestars you should order this book RIGHT NOW!

This book is a riot. There are 9 authors from all over the world who write 5 pieces each. I don't think I have ever laughed so much in my entire life. It's wacky, witty, smutty, weird but most of all funny. I highly recommend this publication.

Author is British journalist James Cameron (the man who heard the famous words of a Gandhi staffer, to the effect that it costs a fortune to keep Gandhiji in his simple lifestyle).

This short but meaty book is a loving portrait of a marvelous country. Cameron uses the incident of a horrific car accident he suffered in Bangladesh to tie together his own sense of mortality and India's great endurance.

Pace can be a little rough at times, but that is the only detraction from this beautiful, appreciative look at India and its foibles, humanity, grace, sufferings. His treatment of conversations (with little hints of well-observed Indglish) are a joy to read. Many tender and thoughtful passages about mankind, but it's really a very personal memoir of Cameron's ongoing yet troubled love affair with a nation.

Indispensible part of any India-phile's library, great pre-departure (or take-along) reading for anyone going there.
