Bruce Lee, King of Kung-Fu
Published in Unknown Binding by Wildwood House ()
Author: Felix Dennis
Average review score:

One of the First, and Still the Best, Bio on Bruce Lee
This Bio on Bruce Lee by Felix Dennis and Don Atyeo is still the standard by which I measure the other biographies on this martial arts legend. This book takes the generally accepted chronilogical format in detailing Bruce's life and death. It provides enough information on his life and death without resorting to too many rumors. Although it sticks to the facts, it is not boring.

It tells the story of his martial learnings and romance with Linda Lee without becoming vouyeristic. It strikes the right amount of balance of what a "fan" should know. This may be due to the time it was written, so shortly after his death that many things were not yet known or for the simple fact that these writers had some integrity and avoided endless silly sketches on his life.

The book is also an easy read (I have had this book since 9). The photos are now old, but are mixed well in the book and a few I have not seen in other materials. This is a classic text, and a must for Bruce Lee fans.

Ten minutes crash briefing...
This book looks small but contains a lot. Whether you are a student or just an enthusiastic it is good idea to have a book that fits in to your pocket. Again do not underestimate that book just because of "pocket". It delightfully explains buildings and architecture from the ages point of view to the architectural styles, materials with a basic graphics and pictures. You don't have to spend any afford for technical terms since each of them point with the arrows at the pictures. You can often see famous buildings at the different countries. In short it's fun the browse yet it teaches either you are at the subway or in the class waiting for your teacher.

The Bungalow: The Production of a Global Culture
Published in Paperback by Oxford University Press (October, 1995)
Author: Anthony D. King
Average review score:

Thorough and comprehensive
This is a ver thorough and comprehensive work. It traces the evolution of the bungalow back to the 1600's in India and shows how the bungalow evolved into the twetieth century house style that Americans have come to know and love. While the text is exhaustive, the photos are old reprints and in a few cases are hazy. The book adresses the evolution of this building type not so much from an architectural stancem but more from a sociological view point. This is a scholarly work that is intened for the serious student of vernacular architecture. It is not a 'stlye book' nor is it a source for decorating.


The Burglar Diaries
Published in Paperback by Serpent's Tail (June, 2002)
Author: Danny King
Average review score:

The funniest book
I read this book for light summer reading but I ended up not being able to put it down, its so funny and full of clever british wit that I was laughing out loud so much that my housemate thought that I had someone in the room with me.
Its not necessarily a book for people who dont like bad language but it just ads to the realism of the chapters.
i definetly think you should read this book!


Burgoyne's Gold
Published in Paperback by Trafford (June, 2002)
Author: Sky King
Average review score:

WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD GUINEAS!
The cover says "Mystery, History, Murder, Love and Treasure." There's all that and more in this book. The author skillfully weaves historical fact with fiction to create this intriguing, complex mystery novel. The clues and red herrings are very cleverly done and the ending is perfect. This combined with terrific characterization and well-sustained suspense make this book a page-turner. The book's first person protagonist, Sam Healy, is a well-drawn, likeable character with a sense of humor -- an unlikely hero drawn into the murder investigation by the desire to find out who murdered a close friend. Sam's love interest, Arletta, is a complicated yet appealing character with whom I could empathize. The mystery of what happened to Burgoyne's missing seventy thousand gold guineas makes a fascinating subplot.

The history upon which the book is based is fascinating as well, and gives the reader an intriguing perspective on the Battle of Saratoga, arguably the most important battle of the American Revolution. When the British General "Gentleman Johnny" Burgoyne surrendered to the colonial forces in October 1777, his troops were disarmed and marched to Boston. His passage through Massachusetts is noted in many towns' local histories. It's in one of these towns, in this case the fictional Glenville, MA, in which the story is set. The author does a wonderful job of giving the story color by describing local scenery and landmarks. All in all, this book is a terrific read!


Butterflies (Natural Pop-Ups)
Published in Hardcover by Olympic Marketing Corporation (March, 1983)
Authors: Graham Tarrant and Tony King
Average review score:

Butterflies Natural Pop-ups
This book is an excellent resource for teachers of young children. It teaches about the life cycle of a butterfly while making it exciting with its interactive pages of pop-ups. It's one of the few books I have found which teach the correct number of body segments, feet, false feet, air holes and other important information about caterpillars and butterflies.
