I'd like to say that I agree with the reader from Pittsburg "What's going on in this man's head". His appearance is enough to make one wonder about him. He looks extremely strange. I've studied his picture on the back of the covers of a few of his books and he always looks the same, SCARY! I didn't read Carrie as did the other reader, but I did see the movie as a child. It was televised so there were probably some things cut out, anyway that was pretty scary for a little kid to be watching and even today I can't get her face out of my head and the ending when the whole house was swallowed up into the ground. I assumed growing up in Christian environment that it had descended into Hell. If I'm not wrong I think Sissy Spacek played the part of Carrie. I thoroughly enjoyed The Stand and The Dark Half. I was so scared while reading The Stand that everytime someone sneezed or coughed I looked at them funny and I couldn't read it once it got dark because I was afraid of the guy who would turn into the black bird and I wouldn't close my eyes in the shower. Through all this you'd think I would put this book down, but I couldn't, I just had to know what happened on the next page. The same thing with The Dark Half except I don't remember being afraid to read it at night, probably because I was living with a boyfriend at the time. When the movie came out I could hardly wait to get to the theather only to be very, disappointed. They left so many things out, and believe me I knew everything that was supposed to happen and when it didn't I was upset! Almost through the whole movie, I kept saying Hey, that's not the way it's supposed to be and Hey What about!...The Stand was better on screen, maybe because it was two video tapes. But I hated that I now had a face to put on that guy!! Needful Things was also a disappointment for me at the movies. It seems that all the Steven King novels that I've read, then watched was a disappointment to me. So I figure if I read it I won't watch or watch it don't read it.

The Stand Uncut is really good for it has pages never before read and well worth the read. Trust me!!!! Dark Half is an awesome book with psychological twists and turns in every page of the novel. It deals witht the reality that there could possibly be a dark half for all of us. It also deals with the possible concept of abnormal behaviour

This little board book is the most beautiful and perfect book on Martin Luther King, Jr. I have ever seen as Dr. King's message is kept pure, untainted, clear and focused. The colors are soft and gentle, the words simple and easy. It is a perfect introduction to Dr. King, his life, his work as well as an introduction into human values such as respect and equality. It is never too early to begin educating children on such matters nor too late for adults to refresh their memories on these core matters especially as so many are waving flags: remember what those flags represent and the lessons of Dr. King. This little book can help any age do so...even you!

Parents quite often want to begin to teach their children about important aspects of
history and culture even at the earliest of ages. This book is the perfect avenue
through which parents can begin teaching their children about Martin Luther King and
the Civil Rights Movement.

Moore has done a superb job in writing a biography that is short, concise and easy to
understand. Even children with the shortest of attention spans can enjoy and understand
this book. Friendly illustrations will make this book even more pleasurable for
children. The boardbook format of this book makes it easy for children to handle
the book and even turn the pages without parents having to worry about the book being
damaged.

Once upon a time, a King told his son that the time had come for him to marry and he had arranged for the Prince to marry a Princess from a far off kingdom across the sea. The Prince, not happy with his fate and lack of choice declared, "I will only marry the Princess I pick for myself." But the King was insistent and the Prince finally agreed to a contest. He would marry the Princess if his father could find anyone in the kingdom who could tell him a story with an ending he didn't know. At the same time, a Princess, in a far off kingdom is boarding a ship with her parents to cross the sea for an arranged marriage to a Prince. She too, is not happy. "I'd rather be washed overboard in a storm at sea." And as fate would have it, that's exactly what happens. After many days in the water, she finally washes ashore in a strange land and finds a dry sailor's suit to wear. Disguised and needing money, she enters a contest to tell a young Prince a story, a new and special story, with an ending he's never heard before..... Rafe Martin has written a charming and imaginative old fashioned fairy tale, complete with happily ever after ending that's perfect for youngsters 4-8. His evocative text is beautifully depicted in Kimberly Bulcken Root's detailed and expressive artwork, done in soft tones of blues and golds. Though the ending is predictable, the enjoyment is in the getting there and this is a satisfying story children will want to read again and again.

In this book a princess faces a loveless arranged marriage and declares she would rather be washed overboard than to marry someone she has not chosen herself. Of course, her wish comes true and she is washed overboard the ship she is sailing on to meet her betrothed. Soon she finds herself competing to tell a story with an ending a prince cannot predict. The story is entertaining, albeit predictable for adults, and provides positive role models for children. The power of story is shown as the princess and the prince hopefully live happily ever after with lots of great stories to share.

The illustrations are particularly beautiful and romantic without sappiness. The book should be well received by the younger set who are tired of their traditional fairy tales and want a new story to read.

Stride Toward Freedom is an excellent book that should become a part of any school curriculum when learning about the Civil Rights Movement. Moving and deeply enlightening, the struggles and triumphs of a man so many of us see as super-human, makes this book one I would recommend to anyone. It is amazing to see how despite incredible odds, people still managed to emerge as remarkable leaders to be remembered for centuries to come.

A classic true story. Details the story of the Montgomery bus boycott organized by King. Discusses the fact that Rosa Parks was not the first black woman to refuse to give up her seat to a white person. Details the logistics of the boycott and the violence and threats committed against King, sometimes dozens of threats per day. Discusses his reading of Gandhi and discusses King's worldview, including, of course, the nonviolent philosophy. You must know this story if you want to know about Martin Luther King Jr. or the history of race relations in the USA.

My doctor said to get out and exercise - I told him I Golf and he said and what else? So, I got this book because it touted to teach me how to exercise and not ruin my game. Well, after following the guidelines laid out for you in the book, my chloresterol has dropped, my pants are looser and my drives are straighter and longer.

Man I got to tell you, something worked. Yes my doctor scared me and yes I really really followed the tips in the book. It also introduced me to a whole different sport, - bodybuilding. My muscles are bigger and stronger and my drives keep getting straighter and longer - It's got to be the book ahh its the combination of the book and the video.

When I heard that Tiger Woods uses weights to help give him a more powerful swing I decided I would give it a try. My biggest problem was finding information that applied to me. You see, I love to play golf, ever sense my wife died I play all the time. The doctor said I need to do weight bearing exercises but I did not want to ruin my game. Any way, I got this book and it explained to me that by actuall being stronger I can be a better golfer. Also, now that I am a stronger golfer I now hit the ball even straighter because I have the power to manipulate the club more.

Not only that but the exercises described in the book really helped me strengthen my shoulders and lower back. The book taught me about form, control and hey I even lost a few.

Longer drives and fewer pounds would have to be my review of this book.

I love the "Tamburlaine" of Christopher Marlowe, because I've read it and couldn't resist it. The story is not melodramatically forced, but rather follows in a smooth and epic line, giving it the texture of a documentary. As a tragedy it's weird, encompassing all drifts of literature: darkly humorous, rhetorical, romantic, violent and deep, with an indescribable grandeur. People commenting on Marlowe's work usually regard him as psychologically shallow, but in this play the terrifying hero is so charismatically evoked in his language, sometimes rhetoric and sometimes commonplace, that I left the book with a queer sense of something between love and dread. Even Tamburlaine's worst deeds, like his cursory humiliation of the captive kings, gain an odd flavour of predestination: they're more of the hijinx of a power-drunk teenager than the actions of a cynical tyrant. Everyone should read this work, in which the dark-tinted wonders of the mediaeval Orient are called up in some of the most steelishly beautiful poetry I've ever read.

This is the exciting story of Tamburlaine's relentless rise to greatness. His military victories are not presented directly, but evoked and described in some of the most splendid verse of the early Elizabethan theater. We also get to see a love story as Tamburlaine woos Zenocate, the captive daughter of one of his rivals.

What can I say? It's a well-written, beautifully illustrated, informative book on the tarot. For most of the cards, the author gives a two to three word synopsis of the card's meaning, followed by a more in depth discussion of the card. I think this format helps the reader to remember the meaning of the cards. The author really goes into great detail to tell the reader about the mythological and astrological backgrounds behind the meanings of the cards. I bought my book second-hand at a bookstore, and I'm glad I found it. You will probably have a hard time finding a copy, because I would think that most people who bought it would want to keep it in their library. Sorry....I don't plan to part with mine anytime soon, so you'll just have to find your own.

Tarot, by Jane Lyle, is an extremely descriptive and enlightening book written in an easy to read format. This book has wonderful preparatory information for the beginning tarot reader, and is an essential reference source for the master. Filled with in-depth background information, the author shows the reader how each of the cards is linked with astrology, numerology, mythology, and alchemy, as well as psychology. This knowledge in turn helps to make it easier for the reader to interpret the cards within a spread. Beautiful illustrations abound throughout this remarkable work, which help the reader to understand the all the knowledge given by the author as they read. There is also a step-by-step guide to help the beginner to get started with reading different tarot spreads (this includes samples of each of the spreads contained therein). I have found this book to be a most helpful resource when interpreting tarot readings. It is truly a shame that it is out of print.

Once again, Steve Farrar has written a fantastic book. His frank, no holds barred style is refreshing in an era where people tiptoe around subjects. When you're hurting and going through trials, you don't need someone to tiptoe around the problem, you need practical advice and encouragement.

This book is extremely encouraging. He talks specifically about life's "pop quizzes" -- those trials we don't expect -- and how God uses these trials to shape our character and strengthen us. The problem is they're unexpected by nature, and we often can't really tell the positive effect until they're over with. Understanding that there is a purpose and reason behind such quizzes makes them more bearable.

Lots of examples from his own life, his friends, and the Bible make his points come alive and hit home in the best way possible. I liked it so much, I'm sending copies to a few friends that need to read it.

While this book is an outstanding book for Christian men, it can easily be applicable to both men and women. Steve does an outstanding job of showing what we are to do when the trap doors of life send us into pits of despair. If you have ever been to the point where you needed to here from God and God is silent, this book shows we aren't the first. Men of the Bible like David, and Asaph had times when they were in the pits of despair, and they left trail markers to help guide us. Steve does a excellent job pointing these markers out that were left for us in the Psalms and explaining them. A book every Christian man should read so that when the trials and persecutions come, they will be able to navigate through them with the help of the Shephard. .

Just finished reading this book and there is only one word to describe it EXCELLENT! thank you Mr. King Jude at trialwatchers.com

I just ordered this book and can't wait to get it! This was such an interesting story and Gary C. King is the best for true crime. I love all of his books! Can't wait for the Binion book to come out to An Early Grave I watched the trial and it was fascinating...Hurry Amazon! Jude http://trialwatchers.com

The 2nd volume in the T&K series is without a doubt the best of the first three books. Heath's world and Rubel's own reality are quickly linked together in fast-paced action and a clever plot. T&K's world is elaorated upon as we discover more about this magical universe. This is a splendid graphic novel and I'm obliged to recommend it to everyone !

This trade paper back is one of the best I have ever read. It starts out... simply hilarious. I've never read the first T & K book, so I had no prievious knowlage of any characters. However, I was aware that Quinton (the "insane" wizard) was funny. Similar to Calvin and Hobbes funny. And then, it cuts to this really deep theatrical drama with a witch casting an elaborate spell on a thief. Then, back to Quinton and more laughs. His trap to catch "Jurdin" the shadow monster was particulary funny, and the reference to the "Chandelier of DOOM!" set me to belly laughing. Both fo these things remind me of "The Tick" comic strips. But anyway, as the book went on, the two sections, funny and serious started linking together. Slowly at first, just a few references, but then they combine completely. Masterful work, and I'm buying the third book asap.
