Why should you buy a Bible commentary written in the 1920s, especially when so many have been written since? I would not suggest that this should be the only commentary on Daniel that you buy. If you want only one at this level of technicality, I suggest the one by J J Collins; it is far more recent and easier to read. However, I recommend that you get this one as well, because Montgomery was a master of his craft. His discussion of the Greek versions of Daniel, for example, has not yet been superseded and is still well worth studying. Have both on your bookshelf, and you will know nearly everything that is worth knowing about the Book of Daniel.

This is possibly the most often quoted of all commentaries on the Book of Daniel.

It's scholarly to the point of being intimidating. Montgomery usually leaves quotations from Latin, Greek, Aramaic, Hebrew, German, and French untranslated. He uses abbreviations to cram 1000 pages of material into 500 pages.

Other commentaries from early in this century are getting hard to find (e.g., Driver, Boutflower, and C. H. H. Wright.) So you should buy this before it goes out of print.

I liked Montgomery's survey of the modern resurgence of literary criticism of Daniel. He sees Bertholdt's German commentary (1806) as the modern return to Porphyry's 3rd century criticisms of Daniel.

The book has wonderfully detailed histories of interpretations for controversial passages in Daniel. They are hard reading because of the abbreviations and untranslated quotations.

The annual Harvest Party is around the corner and Felicity King is determined to win the prize for best costume. However, her competitive nature gets the better of her when she makes a bet she can transform Clemmie Ray into not just a princess, but a popular princess at the party. At stake is Felicity's tiara, although Sara Stanley warns her that she is risking much more than that. The part of "Felcitiy's Challenge" that strikes home most with me is how even someone as vain and pretentious as Felicity could care what Sally Potts and Jane Spry think about her, Clemmie or anything else under the sun. There are few things more vicious than young teenage girls turning on each other and if there is anything missing from the lesson of this Road to Avonlea tale, it is that Sally and Jane do not get the comeuppance they so royally deserve. Certainly Felicity learns a lesson, but it is Clemmie who come out ahead in the end, despite the efforts of her friends. Meanwhile, in the book's main subplot, a modern politician descends upon Avonlea with a neverending series of schemes and ploys to win the upcoming election. Of course, all he manages to do with his syrupy flattery and bold attempts at bribery is make Felciity mad at her father. There is a nice scene between the pair towards the end of the book, which only serves to remind me why Alec King was my favorite character on "Avonlea." This storybook was written by Gail Hamilton based on the Sullivan Films Production written by Lori Fleming adpated from the novels of Lucy Maud Montgomery. But do not ask me to explain exactly who is responsible for what here.

It is Autumn in the heartwarming little town of Avonlea. Everyone, including Felicity King is excited about the upcoming Harvest Party held every season. This season however, Felicity, after some mean spirited girls, Jane and Sally tease her, vows to win the costume contest and make Clemmie Ray the most popular girl at the party, even at the wager of her beloved tiara, and at the loss of her cousin Sara Stanley, who refuses to be apart of this charade. But as the city election draws nearer, her father Alec King and much the rest of Avonlea have questions about the electees. When Alec makes a hard decision that affects all, including Felicity, Felicity will have to make her own choice that will more than affect a few townspeople, and most likely the rest of her life. . .

This is a very complete book on horses. My daughter has spent much time pouring over it.

Although no one area is covered in any great depth, it provides enough general knowledge to point the reader in the right direction for further research. General areas include basic physio information, care, tack ,feeding, health issues and diseases, an overview of various equestrian disciplines, and probably the most comprehensive (and well photographed) listing of known breeds with brief descriptions of each.
My 11 yr.-old daughter (new horse owner) was given a copy for her birthday last year and it is almost in tatters from constant use!

This book did an excellent job of surveying Sir John Franklin's ill-fated final attempt for the NW Passage. It walks the reader through a world of greed that was the man responsible for the disaster. You, the reader, find out that it was sloppy canning techniques that spoiled the food that the voyage depended upon, and ultimately led to the abandoning of the ships in search of help. As far as we know today, no one survived the expedition, and Cookman does an excellent job of tracing the route that the dwindling survivors may have taken in search of aid. A must read for True Adventure book enthusiasts.

The book Iceblink about the Franklin expedition to the arctic was written by a Cookman, not a Montgomery. Cookman's work is an example of excellent scholarship and engaging writing. It is a wonderful discovery for someone who has been reading about the search for the NW passage. Perhaps there are two books with this title, but the one by Cookman is definitely worth reading. Make sure you are ordering the right book, though.

I recently found my C.Y.O.A. books from when I was young, including the first Packard book, Cave of Time. I gave them to my kids, who loved them, and then realized they're still being published. The new titles, like this one, are just as well written and full of tough choices, but they're updated to include more current concerns like computer hacking and genetic engineering. Splendid books for young readers, especially those who don't think they like reading.

An unusually coherent tale from the endearingly wacky R. A. "Anson" Montgomery. The fate of the Earth team visiting breakaway colony Luna is actually involving. I still lament the cancellation of the CYOA series.

My children enjoyed this touching story of a little girl, her father and their experiences with nature on a southern lake.

Night Rabbits evokes images of quiet summer evenings in the country. It is a peaceful tale that is calming to readers of all ages, especially those who have to live in bustling, overcrowded urban areas. The author and illustrator were clearly in sync when they put this book together. The mood of Posey's writing and Montgomery's ethereal illustrations match perfectly. I sincerely hope this first collaboration of theirs will not be their last.

This book has given me an advantage from the moment I bought it! I recently bought a copy for all thirty other salesmen I work with!

One of the best investments I have ever made. Clear and to the point. Examples are smart and sassy. A must read for a small business owner!

excellent documentation and sources, footnotes exceptional. A serious scholar, but he could not keep his Christian slant from his interputations, it shows in spots. He also used !!! several times, Very unacceptable for a scholarly work. though they could have been added by editiors.
He could have stressed more heavily that the ARK was not a ship or boat, rather a flatbottom, box or barge. Thus down playing the several reports of sighting a prow or deepwater hull.
This persistent Christian representation of a huge sea-going vessels aptly illustrates the problems cause by lack of concern of basic accuracy.(not on the author's part however)
BUT WORTH READING.

Profound and prolific writer tells not the only the history up until early 1970's but includes his own trip with his son up on Mt. Ararat.

Deepened appreciation for "ark fever" and thankful for the appendexed communications with other explorations.

"Song of the Night" is based on my favorite Lucy Maud Montgomery short story, "Old Lady Lloyd," which appears in "The Chronicles of Avonlea" collection. I was not at all surprised that this was one of the Montgomery stories to be adapted for television when "Avonlea" started. Since the title character does not appear in on the cover of this third volume in "The Road to Avonlea" series, it is not surprising that the title has been changed. Fiona McHugh does the novelization of her own screenplay, both of which compel her to adapt Montgomery's story to the cast of characters on "Avonlea." This requires some major modifications because in the original story Margaret Lloyd confides in no one why she is so interested in Sylvia Grey. In this version Sara Stanley becomes totally involved in the story and it is her actions as much as Fate that brings about the resolution. McHugh condenses much of the action (now it rains as Lloyd travels to see her cousin Andrew rather than on the lonely trip home), mainly because she does come up with a nice sub-plot involving Sara and her own cousin, Felix. It seems young Felix, embarrassed by Sara, makes the mistake of saying some unforgivable things about both of Sara's parents. Sara absolutely refuses to forgive Felix, whose attempts to make amends are all ill-fated. Of course, Sara refuses to see that she is guilty of the very sin that she discovers afflicts Old Lady Lloyd, namely that of pride. The important thing here is that after you read "Song of the Night," you go check out the original Montgomery short story as well as "The Story Girl" novel that inspired the "Avonlea" television series.

This is based on an episode of the ROAD TO AVONLEA television series that spanned seven years and 91 episodes. This story involves Aunt Abigail, Uncle Malcolm and Janet going to the based on "OLD LADY LLOYD" from the 1st season (Disney renamed the episode SONG OF THE NIGHT) starts with Sara in Old Lady Lloyd's mansion by accident and being caught! It turns out that Miss Lloyd's old beau's daughter is in town and she longs to be friends with her! These stories are very heartwarming and set at the turn of the century in the town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island, Canada.

I think that this novel was perhaps a little too short...and the plot was rather singular, boy meets girl, falls in love with her, tries to win her, there are obstacles, etc. One of the things I usually love about LM Montgomery's books are the many plot threads, but this book was a disappointment in that respect.

In short, this book does not stand out in any way. If you want good LM Montgomery, read the Emily or Anne series. Or if you have, then maybe buy this book to add to your collection. It does have that gorgeous LMM descriptive tilt to it, but plot-wise it is nothing special. I think that when LMM writes single novels, she is not able to create fully rounded characters like she is in her series. The Anne and Emily series are my absolute favourites, but I really did not think that this book lived up to LMM's standards.

I finished reading this book in just one day. It's a very sweet little romance story. If you love the Anne and Emily series, if you love The Blue Castle, you will definitely love this book too. Although I must admit the characters in this book weren't as real as the other characters we met in other LMM works like Anne, or Emily. It's still wonderful to be able to read a little sweet story once in awhile, so as to enhance one's scope for the imagination.

This is one of the best romances I've ever read. It is about a mute girl, Kilmeny, who is very beautiful. Eric, the substituting schoolmaster, falls in love with her, but she won't marry him because she can't speak. Will Kilmeny's love for Eric overcome her muteness? You'll have to read the book to find out.
