I read this book a few years ago. I enjoyed it then and am looking for it now. The story is quite interesting, if a bit juvenile. It was afterall intended for a younger audience.

Mercedes is sent to a professional riding academy. She's doesn't really know anyone there at first, but does make a friend. The local town has a club of sorts that is the teen hangout. There she meets Conner Egan. He seem a bit Lestat-esque, at first. However, he has dark intentions. And Mercedes is placed in great danger, for her life.

The story was quite captivating with a few sub-plots here and there. Overall, this was very well written. I never read any of the other Nightmare Club books, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

My son and I greatly enjoyed this book. It is presented in the typical, and attractive, Eyewitness style, and is packed with information and pictures. I especially enjoyed reading about ancient amphibians. I had no idea that they grew so large in ancient times!

This is a wonderful visual history of china in the late Qing dynasty. It represents a wonderful era that few western eyes have really ever seen. The text is informative, and the beautiful sepia toned photos are truly stunning. If your even vaguely interested in this era of China's history, snap up this book now.

This book is one of the best written sports novels I have ever read. Stauth takes you inside the first Dream Team. His style of writing makes you feel like you were right next to Jordan and Pippen in 1992. He takes the reader on a behind the scenes journey and shows the conflicts and other problems the Dream Team faced before and during their gold medal run.

Are there no editors anymore? After I'd sat down with the book for less than half an hour I found numerous items that any competent editor would have found, errors that are reminiscent of what happens if I write something at three in the morning and don't check it again after getting a good nights' sleep. I found similar problems in the Sherry bio. There is an interesting book here, but the final product lacks the touch that a good editor could have lent the work.

It is my view that folktales - tales of such quality that people kept the story alive for centuries - are excellent literature for people of any age. Anne Cameron aims her retellings of Northwest Native tales at a young audience but all of us can enjoy all of them.

In this tale, Spider Woman saves the earth from the birds of torment - Spider Woman uses a spider web and a tall tree to hold the earth in place - and to put most birds of torment into their proper place on the other side of the sky blanket.

An aside - one bird of tormet not expelled is tooth-ache, the subject of the oldest known written tale (from Mesopatamea).

Since I was saved 8 years ago, I have been praying and witnessing to my family with very little success. It has been very discouraging at times. However, Philip Cameron shows us from God's Word that the Lord is definitely concerned about our families' salvations, much more that we even think! As well, Cameron give practical reminders on how to conduct our lives as we continue to claim our families' salvations. If you need encouragement from the Lord in this area, get this book and it's predecessor, It's Time for Household Salvation by the same author. I know that by faith, my entire family is saved! Yours is too!

This book highlights all of the myths, problems and risks associated with intranet security succinctly and simply. It then offers pragmatic advice that would benefit any organization that takes its security seriously. A must read for those responsible for putting together company security policies.

If you like Jules Verne, Ian Fleming, or even Clive Cussler, you should like this novel. It made for fast reading in an adventurous way.

Although I have not seen the movie, the novel was descriptive enough that I feel I almost did.

Light hearted pre-techno-thriller reading.
