This novel didn't appeal to me as much as the first Jurassic Park.Micheal Crihton should have left Ian Malcolm out of this story because any person who had suffered a life threatening experience like he had to face, would never go back to a similar place to Jurassic Park . The first novel had a plot which connected to everything in the story. This Novel was basically go to the Island, run from Dinosaurs,then escape from the Island. In the begining of the book Dinosaurs were being washed up on beaches in Costa Rica. The only reason they were going to go to the island was to see what was driving these creatures into the ocean. It never came out with why the dinosaurs were swimming from the island. There was some good action throughout the book . I was disappointed with this novel and that is why I only gave it 3 Stars.

The Lost World is even more exciting than Jurrasic Park. It has lots of twists and turns that should make you lose track of time and miss class. The main thing that made the book exciting is that it has missing links to the first book in the sequel.

Like i said before i recomend this book to anybody that likes blood and horrer,i saw the movie and it was scary but when i saw the book i was so amaized that i bought it and i read it over and over again and again.I think the book was better than the movie because they added more action and more of the scarry stuff and I know im going to read it again but i probibley wont right again but you can find another one of my coments in a book cald Desparete Persute,my name is JESSE GALINDO if you can find me.

I got this book not for the way it was written - I understood it was for younger kids, but rather I got it for the colorful and beautiful photos and facts about Ancient Egypt. I myself love Ancient Egypt and enjoy reading anything on the subject, plus I love The Mummy and will no doubt love The Mummy Returns. I have already also read the novel by Max Allan Collins. It was fast-paced and exciting. So if you're older and interested in The Mummy Returns, you can still get this book. It's a treat for the eyes, and simply nice to have. I can't wait for the arrival of the film itself!

I usually don't even buy these kinds of things, but I lumped it in with other stuff and it was a great buy for the price.

The images were great and a special pleasant surprise was teh first person vantage from Alex's viewpoint. For that alone it is priceless.

And if you're like me, the pages are great for wallpaper, postcards, etc....oops!!!

When I first got The Mummy Returns Scrapbook by John Whitman, I was amazed by the pictures and the time and effort put into the making of this awesome scrapbook. This Scrapbook also gives the story of the book as well as amazing pictures. This book was written fantasticly, and assembled with a lot of thought behind it. If I could say one word abouth this wonderful book, that word would be "Awesome"!

Whitman has a long history of producing sturdy, similarly dressed coin albums for coins for all types of United States coins throughout the country's history. This album is the newest edition for storing 25-cent pieces that are a part of the new (starting in 1999) Statehood quarters. (5 quarter designs will be released each year for 10 years--1 coin for each state, released in the order the state joined the Union.) What I can add to the previous excellent review is that all of Whitman's dark blue hard back albums, like this one, have six plastic sleeves per page. Three sleeves behind and three in front of the six rows of holes for the coins, which slide in and out of the pages. And, each hole in this album is marked with the State whose design graces the obverse of the coin. The result is an album where both the obverse (front) and reverse (back) of the coins are viewable just by turning the page--no removal of coins is necessary, preserving the condition of the coin. It is unfortunate that this book does not have two holes for each of the circulated coins ("P" mint mark for coins minted in Philadelphia's US Mint, a "D" for coins minted at the US Mint in Denver). Whitman's other albums usually make room for all minted circulations for the coin. But that's ok, I'll just have two Statehood Quarter books in my collection of Whitman Coin Albums.

I do not care too much for the maps and the folders with state statistics in them. Those are mostly for kids. Other folders have slots for P, D, and S mints but where I live, its too hard to collect all of the different mint mark varieties. This one has one slot per state, plastic strips to help protect the coins, and you can see both sides of the coins. The Whitman company has been in the coin business for a long time, much longer than a lot of quick buck artists who are trying to milk the popularity of the statehood quarters. Whitman and Dansco are the leaders in the field and this is high quality album.

This Quarter collector's album is well organized and gives you all the slots needed for all 50 State Quarters in the new US Mint 50 State Quarter program. It is an excellent organizatioal tool and, because it has pages for all the quarters (through 2009), it provides a nice way to track progess of your quarter collection through the years. It has, however, slots for only one quarter, per state, per year. This is a great idea if you would like to collect just one quarter per state regardless of mint mark. If, however, you are collecting quarters from both mint marks (Philedelphia and Denver), you will probably want to purchase two copies.

i think this book is the best yet. i dont own it, but thanks to my local library i check it out every time. i have 5 younger siblings, and they always want me to tell them a bedtime story.
finally i reread the story 10 times and memorized it. its a big help. i dont have to carry the flashlight into their rooms now.
i reread all of the series and now i mimorized all of them. i them all a huge 5*. i am what people call a starwars nut. i like the part whenever the rebels come in. and like others i like it that this focuses most on hoole. basicly I LOVE THIS BOOK!

I haven't read any of the ones after this, and this is the one when Tash uses the force to help her buddies. Doesn't DV figure out that Tash knows the Force in this one? I can't remember. Good book for people who are fans of Tash or Hoole, the other characters are squeezes in there for a part.

This is truly an excellent Edition to the Galaxy of Fear series. This is amust-have for any Star Wars fans anywhere no matter what their age is.

Many were called to serve, and many paid the ultimate price, and then there were those who were called to witness. Walt Whitman, as evidenced in such poems as "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" and "O Captain! My Captain!," proved our greatest witness. Yet, this volume delves into a side of the poet heretofore never expounded upon, that of the benevolent stranger, a purveyor of hope and good will. From the moment he arrived in Washington D.C. Whitman was a daily visitor to the myraid of makeshift hospitals, bringing gifts of tobacco, books, paper and pencils. He would read to patients, write letters for them, and offer his sympathy and affection. In turn he was looked on as 'brother,' 'father,' 'uncle' and 'friend.' A great soul. This biographical sketch doesn't attempt to canonize Whitman. It talks frankly about his promiscuity, drinking and general caousing; as well as his homosexualty and his longtime companion, Peter Doyle. It is a poignant look at the defining years in the great scribes life, presenting Whitman, justly, as a true hero of the Civil War.

This is a sensitively written biography covering in detail the life of America's greatest poet, Walt Whitman, during the Civil War years. This story of course has been told before, but never so completely, so lovingly. The author, Roy Morris, Jr. has done a superb job.

The first chapter gives some background and tells of Whitman's despair, wasting his time, his life in New York's seedy underground bohemian world, especially Pfaff's beer cellar. At 41, Whitman had lost his job as editor of the Brooklyn Daily Times newspaper, and was in a depressing downward spiral, doing only sporadic hack work as a journalist. The Civil War had begun and his brother George had enlisted. When reports reached New York that George was wounded and in a Washington, DC hospital, Walt rushed to be by his brother's side. It was this event that brought Whitman face-to-face with the terrible wartime hospitals and to his beloved dying soldiers. This was the event that turned his life around, even perhaps saved his life as Whitman himself later reported.

Finding that his brother's wounds were slight, Whitman began visiting the battlefield wounded. Here he almost by accident found his calling as the "Better Angel" of the book's title: helping the soldiers, or sometimes just listening and comforting his boys with small gifts and favors. Whitman clearly loved the young soldiers he watched die miserable deaths in the dreadful hospitals. The soldiers clearly loved him in return. This book is written with such sympathy that the reader can feel the love leap of the pages.

Whitman was a prolific letter writer. Much of the story recounted here comes from letters he wrote, especially to his beloved mother. Also the seeds of much of Whitman's Civil War poetry are given here in forms different from the poems themselves, but Morris also includes extensive excerpts from the poems. The scientific advances in medicine (Pasteur, etc.) were still a few years away, so it was a dangerous thing to be spending so much time in these filthy, disease-ridden hospitals. Whitman regularly touched, embraced, even kissed his dying soldiers to comfort them, so it is almost a miracle he only became seriously ill one time from this contact.

With all the sad death, this book is still uplifting and inspiring. Do buy it, read it, love it. After you have finished, you will want to get out your copy of "Leaves of Grass" and read the poems all over again with new insights and understandings. This is a lovely little book.

This is a beautiful little book, informative, elegantly written, and quite moving. It reminded me that serving one's country can take many forms. Whitman had little use for Christian pieties or military rigidity, neither of which offered much comfort to the thousands of wounded and dying young soldiers the great poet visited at their bedside. What he did offer them was the gift of human connection, kindness, and respect, qualities too often lacking in our American society, then and now. My one complaint is that Morris often quotes from Whitman's poems without always giving the title of the poem in question. One would love to be able to turn from Morris to Leaves of Grass and read a given poem in its entirety, but if one doesn't have the exact edition from 1973 he used then one is out of luck. This is a small criticism, however, and I am deeply grateful to the author for having written such an important, inspiring book.

It was bizzare. I loved it.

Zack, Tash, and Hoole Go to see Jabba the hutt for help. While there Tash and Zack meet monks that can make brain transfers from one being to another or into a brain spider. But its getting out of hand.

I just finished reading this for the therd time last night. This is just one of those books that you can't put down. Its got a great plot but i'm not going to tell you the end. But for the people who want to know what that spider thing is craling past the door of jabba's palice in return of the jedi is, read this book.

I loved this book! Zak and Tash go to Jabba the Hutt this time. And few things happen. This is a great book for kids and adult that are crazy about Star Wars.

A passionately written book. The information is detailed yet to the point and not boring or too scientific. A great book for the cold climate novice gardener or a reference for the master.
The pictures are beautiful and plenty. The layout is clear, logical and well organized. The book's a real keeper. Great job.

I've bought and borrowed numerous books regarding perennials. None has been so complete and well illustrated. Each plant species has varieties listed as well as planting, mulching, pruning, dividing techniques and advice. As an avid perennial gardener, I can't recommend this book highly enough. Kudos to the authors!

This book lets you know which perennials you can buy and grow in cold climates. It is a must for anyone in the Northern Areas of 20 degree's below 0 even in Canada. It shows the pictures of the flowers and where they will grow best for cold weather. It also shows you the best variety to buy and where you can order them, plant them and how to do it. It is a must for cold weather climates.

In this book Zak and Tash are on a space cruiser. But Zak won't come out of his Room. He say's "something will happen to me if I come out. But Tash aranges for him to go to the main control room. That gets him excited! But he just happend to get there during this crazy tecky's work shift. The guy doesn't want Zak around so he tells him to press some buttons and when Zak does the ships power goes out! This little cruise has turned into a great big mess. This book will scare as well as surprise you. More surprising than scaring though. Hope you enjoyed reading this review and hope it helped you out to.

Tash and zac go to a cruise ship only to find out the ship is to be taken over by a weird bug. tash befriends a stranger that zac doesnot like . Hang on to your seatbelt as you go along on a fast breathtaking adventure with tash and zac rent this book today.

This book is very different from the others in the series. Instead of one big problem the book is a lot of problems, also it is the only book in the series where so many people die and you feel sorry for them. You would never imagine that such harmless technology can be so deadly, and you would never guess who the killer is.

David Whitman's novella Deadfellas is an entertaining and quick read. This story is not really horror as in horror scary; it's more like a walk through a Twilight Zone-themed carnival funhouse ride. DeadFella's is character-rich with a fairly good plot, lots of bizarre action and tons of humor.

David Whitman's Deadfellas is a book unlike any other book you'll ever read. Deadfellas is an intense roller coaster of a novel full of zombies and doubles and more action than a John Woo film. The characters are thrown into a bizarre series of events and are forced to react with utmost brutality, while still managing to maintain a dark sense of humor and the ability to laugh at the absurdity of life. Simply put: This book kicks ..., and you won't be disappointed.

A very fast paced and entertaining read. I had no idea Mr. Whitman even existed until I picked Deadfellas up at a horror convention. I have to say that this is one very bizarre piece of work. If you like zombies then this is your book. I am looking forward to the promised sequel.

If you are a Whitman poetry lover (or aspire to be), this is an interesting book. The author explores the manifold influences on Whitman's writing, from Opera to Phrenology (and all the other letters of the alphabet), and uses snippets of poetry to prove his points.

I had not explored Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" before reading this book, and was looking for a portrait of Whitman and his times, not a compilation of "influences," A to Z. In short, I found it dull. The author's writing style doesn't help either, which is straightforward at best, pedantic at worst ("No other biographer has noted...").

If you love Whitman's poetry, by all means buy and read this book. However, if you are looking for a more straightforward biography or a picture of America in the age of Whitman, you might look elswhere. Please, tell me what you find!

I found this work extremely entertaining. It was like being back in mid-19th century America. It seemed to make the era come alive with real personalities and real historical character. To understand the complexities of this genious and his time, this book is a must. It seemed to be refreshingly candid and forth-right without the usual bias one expects on the subject. There was much more to the man and his times than his sexuality. This book reveals the other sides of Walt Whitman. You can feel his pain with him as you share in his America

Reynolds' Walt Whitman is a fellow who absorbed his culture, tried to save it, but finally sold himself to it. The other Whitman biographies I've read always had a scholarly ax to grind; this one seems, not to cut away Walt Whitman to a one dimensional person, but to find Walt Whitman living a multi-dimensional life in an urbanizing, industrializing, upwardly literate American society. I thorougly enjoyed the chapters on mid-century American Culture; but was looking for an itinerary of hospital visits that Whitman made. It appears that the author appropriately limited himself to what Whitman reported of his own activity as a hospital nurse and to what few recollections of patients.
