Beautifully written, this book captures an alien mystique that is humanity at its best and worst. All of the alien worlds come together with her finest characters from her earlier books. My greatest compliment to this book is that it can be read individually without the need to read the other books in the series. (although I would hate to miss those.) However, I have waited six years for the sequel that is promised in the last chapters of the book in an unresolved relationship. Perhaps, that to, is humanity at its best and worst.

All of Franklins best character are swept together in a tale of mind boggling magnitude. What begins as Quine Hambly's curiosity about aliens escalates into Jase Slied's inquisition against Network. But humanities ambitions could carry a terible price. For, the healer marrach knows that the stars have begun to bleed, and the Ghost shadow may destroy all universes.

The Hardy Boys are so cool. The Hardy Boy's Ghost Stories is the best out of whole collection. The book gave me a hell of a scare.In my opinion The Walking Scarecrow is one of the best and most scariest stories ever written . I urge all readers to buy this book as it is so excellent. I think Franklin Dixion has out done himself with this marvellous novel.

This book has the best spine tingling stories ghost stories ever; I was sort of scared to go back to sleep after I finished a story. I recomend this book to anyone looking for a scream of a good time and a good scare!

Mr. Tolles has reached a perfect balance of scholarly research and easy reading in a "coffee-table book" format. As someone who lives in the area with a strong interest in Tolles' subject matter (I own the annex building to the Sunset Hill House hotel) I can also vouch for the accuracy of what he has written.
A wonderful book, beautifully presented, highly readable and visually involving. Anyone with a love of history, architecture, romance, travel, or their ancestors is sure to enjoy it as much as I and my guests do.

This well-researched and informative book about the grand resort hotels of the White Mountains is simply one of those books which you add with pride to your library collection. It shows the hotel's importance in the architectural and social historical realm of New England and American history. It is full of andedotes on the hotel industry and is a vastly entertaining social picture. The book is full of many illustrations of present and long-gone hotels, 200 b&w and a number of color plates. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the hospitality history of this country, and the importance in the realm of things that the hotel places. Dr. Tolles have expertly brought this subject to life and I commend him for it.

This is an excellent source of information for the new and experienced critical care nurse. The book contains a wealth of extremely detailed information with regard to anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and hemodynamic monitoring. This book covers equipment set up, maintancence, and trouble-shooting. It is full very useful information, for example, how cardiac output and pulmonary wedge pressures are effected by other hemodynamic parameters or outside influences such as PEEP levels and how to account for the increased intrathoracic pressure. Lots of calculations to show you how doctors arrive at decisions and numbers. The book is set up from broad to specific with great organization. Highly recommended.

This is the ultimate hemodynamic book, listing disease processes, treatments, causes, symptoms--you name it, it's in there. A great guide for the new critical care nurse.

This is one of the best casefile series books. Not only is it an introduction to the totally new high tech Hardy's, but a good look at their real lives & reactions to them. A real sense of family concern for one another adds to the book's attraction. Joe's guilt in betraying Iola, Fenton's anger in the boys for remaining in Bayport, Frank's concern for his brother, Chet's awkwardness around Joe following the explosion, Callie's tears in being tied up, these personal glimpses help it to be much mor

I loved this book because it was full of action. From the first page (which was one of the best parts!!) All the way to the end!

Similar in content to The Nancy Drew Guide To Life, this book outdoes it both in size and quality. Oddly enough, although this is a picture cover (PC) book, it comes with a dustjacket bearing art identical to the cover! This short (less than 50 pages), inexpensive volume is illustrated with color reproductions of various original series covers and some black and white frontispiece illustrations. Divided into 7 chapters, The Hardy Boys' Guide To Life offers up advice gleaned from the pages of the stories themselves.
Originally this book was to be titled The Hardy Boys Swell Guide to Life, which is probably why the DJ description still uses the archaic word swell.
I enjoyed The Hardy Boys Guide to Life. It is a fun, quick read which should be in every Hardy Boys fan's collection

An attractively designed little book lavishly illustrated with the gripping dustjacket covers and frontispieces from the various titles in the Hardy Boys series. Its 44 pages are chockful of information, advice, and reflections from Frank and Joe Hardy for anyone who has set his ballcap on attaining health, wealth, and happiness. My favorite from Frank and Joe:

"You just can't rely on men who don't have a woman around the house to keep them straight."

Ah! ... too true!

At 7"x5" the book is just a tad too big to stuff in the back pocket of my weathered Levi's so I keep my copy in a cigar box on the coffee-stained dashboard of my rusty old pickup truck for ready reference in sticky situations.

This Wonderful Book, Highway Robbery, is Very Educational, and Very Entertaining!!! In This Wonderful Carmen Sandiego Mystery, Young ACME Detectives Maya, and Ben, go after Carmen, when She steals Interstate Eighty!!! Maya, and Ben team- up with an ACME Agent, Dusty Rhoads, since she knows all the back roads, and short cuts, she'll be the one that will drive them to Certain Places, where V.I.L.E. Activity has been suspected, and deduced, by Maya, and Ben!!! When Maya, and Ben start trailing Carmen's Agent, they not only learn a lot, Geography wise, but they also learn that the Agent loves weird attractions, like Frog Fantasies Museums, and Enigma Museums, where people once suspected that aliens had landed, and made a Museum with only alien- like- things, in it!!! Will Maya, and Ben catch Carmen Sandiego, this time?

This book was great. It was very well written.I highly reccomend this book to everybody that likes mysteries and action. It is definitely Franklin W. Dixon`s best yet!!!!

This book gives us a look at how Hitler viewed the world. This book is written with great skill. Here it is shown that Hitler had a self-consistent Weltanschauung. It is an analysis of Hitler's own writtings; both versions of "Mein Kampf" and his "Secret Book". See why he did what he did. The reason for his domestic and foreign policy. The truth that Hitler was neither a nationalist nor a socialist but a racist. And his thoughts on the Jews. And how he convinced himself that only through expansion, racial purity and the destruction of the Jewish people could any Nation/Race survive and prosper.

Hitler's Mein Kampf is one of the most boring books I have read. Even knowing what happened, I found myself thinking: "He must be thinking metaphorically; he really can't mean this." Jaeckel succeeded in making Hitler comprehensible, weird, but compresensible. He in particular clarifies the fact that Hitler was neither a nationalist nor a socialist but a racist. That's why he ordered the destruction of Germany. For him, the Germans were not fit to survive his death. The author also points to the ambiguities in Hitler's attitudes towards the Jews. If the Jews were so inferior, why were they a threat to the "Aryans." Hitler thought of the Jews as subhuman but also as the anti-race, somewhat like matter::anti-matter. Anyone who is interested in the most powerful, the most significant and the most enigmatic of leaders from the 16 th to the 21st centuries should read this book.

This book was incredibly good, it helped me with all the problems i had, and was very interesting. I was surprised to find a book so well written on such a boring subject. I recomend it to anyone and everyone. i will read this book several times over, because the information is so valuable.

Now, I may be a little biased because the author of this book happens to be my great uncle, but I still firmly believe that this book is a MUST for those managers and human resource officials that may want to expand their knowlodge when it comes to releasing or treating employees. If you enjoyed books such as "The One Minute Manager" and "Who Moved My Cheese?", then you most definately will get a lot out of this book. Peace.

As someone with no experience in launching a business, this book has been very useful in explaining the different options (sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, etc.) and the distinct advantages for each. The author admits a bias in favor of forming a corporation over the other business structures, as is alluded to in the title. He does justice to each business type, and follows with how-tos in everything from choosing a name, issuing stock, raising capital, dealing with lawyers, preparing contracts, leases, hiring and employment laws, insurance, trademarks and taxes. Although I've heard some discontent with the detail covering sole proprietorship, I found the book an overall excellent introduction into starting a business, and an eye-opener on all the details involved. The Illinois-specific information is very helpful as well. For anyone with limited business experience thinking about striking out on his or her own, I recommend this as a good tool to start with.

This is a well organized book that covers just about everything you need to know to get started. You'll still have to do a lot of work on your own, but it tells you what to expect, how to find the info, and what to do to make sure you're covered legally. Sample documents and forms are also shown to help you in preparing your own or to be ready for filling out government forms. Given the price of the book, I feel the value of information in the book is a steal. It rates a 9 only because I didn't find the chapter on taxes to be as complete as I had hoped. There is a lot of good info on taxes but it's a little weak on some of the details.
