Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Writing a screenplay appeals to me as a writer of novels and short stories. Anyone who has read the more technical books on how to write screenplays -- and glazed over -- will appreciate the clarity and simplicity with which George Perez has presented his concept. He will teach you to turn a short story...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When my step-son Cody gave me this book in way of apologizing for what he did to my lawn (don't get me started), i was hesitant to believe that I would enjoy it. As a life-long Richmonder, I didnt believe that this town had anything in it worth writing about. I WAS WRONG. The stories contained within...
Talion Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I love the fact that this novel about a serial killer blends suspense with fantasy, rare in a book of this type. The female characters are interesting, and the prose style is great. Maddox has a keen eye for details and an ear for effective, fast-moving dialogue.Click Here to see more reviews about:...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Overall, an interesting story, but the main character is not as well-developed as I would like to see. There are many typos in the book I read, a library edition published by Thorndike Chives. The typos detract from the enjoyment of reading.Click Here to see more reviews about: Egret CoveClick here for...
Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (2007 DTV Novelization) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Jane Langton's Homer Kelly is one part absent-minded professor, one part Doctor Who (sans time travel) and one part...well, Homer Kelly. Suffering from JFS (Jessica Fletcher Syndrome), mystery and death seem to "sniff out" Homer, rather than the other way around.The story is not just merely about scenic...
Give Me Mountains For My Horses Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Tom Reed writes with lyrical passion about a subject he knows intimately -- horses and mountains. Specifically, horses and mountains in the great state of Wyoming. You don't have to be a horseman or an outdoorsman to enjoy this book. You just need to enjoy a good story written well. It's a highly personal...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the story of the music, politics and culture during a seminal period of the ''baby boom'', 1958-1962. It's an often hilarious story told from a most unlikely point of view; a precocious child born to a dirt-poor Southern woman. RAISING MAMA is a memoir. The voice is from the point of view of...
Coyote Moon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Book 3) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)John Vornholt really impressed me with this first rate teen thriller based on the tv show. This book didn't take me that long to read - thats only because I couldn't put it down. I strongly reccommend this to teens and Buffy fans. It is about Buffy, Willow and Xander eager to take a break from slaying...

The Complete Outdoors Encyclopedia Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book offers a veritable wealth of information for hunters, campers, fishermen and others who spend recreation time in the outdoors. I've used it to identify types of fish, to know how to build a fire in the rain, and to prepare food for overnight hikes. I'd give it 5 stars if it hadn't suggested...

It reminded me of "Blue Highways" by William Least Heat Moon with its glimpse of an incredibly rich, diverse, and fascinating America that exists far from the big cities and well beyond the attention of most of our media. The best compliment I can pay...
