Lost In Adrift Titles--Yet Jugo Shonen Hyouryuki Worked.......2006-03-13
The adventure story of 15 boys of different country origins took the heart of Japanese young people and lots of dramas, movies, comics based upon this story had been created in Japan and the love for this adventure would never seem to fade. What made this obscure Verne story into one of the most well known Verne classic in Japan is the title of the translation from English version "Adrift In The Pacific"
Coined as "Jugo Shonen Hyouryuuki(The adventure of fifteen boys adrift at sea)" this story was made distinctive, which made its original title from French original "Two Years Vacation" left forgotten.
The story line is very simple, 15 boys accidentally adrift in the huge boat find an uninhabited island and create their miniature world community thereupon with fights though with lesser degree than adults and final dramatic discovery of Patagonian coast which eventually rescue themselves. It is no doubt no less exciting than famous Verne classics such as "Around The World In Eighty Days" "Journey To The Center Of The World" and "20,000 leagues Under The Sea".
Highly recommended if you like Tom Sawyer styled adventure stories.
Not just a "child's version of Mysterious Island".......2004-03-21
I know best the title of this book as "A Long Vacation". In English,
other variants are "Boy Castaways", "Two Year Holiday", "Two
Year's Vacation", "A Two Years' Vacation", "Adrift in the Pacific", etc.
The "Adrift" part is misleading, since most of the book the boys are
actually on land. I have also heard of this book being published in
two volumes: #1 Adrift in the Pacific, and #2 Two Year's Holiday.
In any case the story is about a group of boys on a ship that has
drifted away from her dock and they are blown across the globe to an island
off South America. Unlike Mysterious Island, there is no Civil War,
no adults, no scientist like Cyrus Harding, etc. so there are many
more differences than similarities. As usual Verne anticipates
the future with things like para-sailing. A very good, exciting story.
Compare it to Golding's "Lord of the Flies".
Book Description
Death of a Darklord focuses on a young woman who finds that she has a talent for magic in a land and a family unforgiving of such abilities, and her tragic attempts to redeem herself in the eyes of her family by aiding them on their quest to end the dark magic that has destroyed a neighboring town.

Definitely not par de course.......2007-09-27
I just finished reading this book, and I have to say, it doesn't read like an LKH book at all. I realize that this novel is supposed to be part of a larger picture, but I didn't get the picture at all.
This story is about a young woman who is just starting to learn about the magic that she wields, and how this affects the people around her. But the book also has a cover plot about two guys who want to body swap. Personally, the book could have been far better if the cover plot were actually integrated into the story, and not just show up at the very beginning and at the very end of the story. This novel should have been two completely separate, and better developed books.
If I had to describe this book, I would say, take the story structure of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", coat the outside of it with Anne Rice's "Tale of the Body Snatcher", fill the inside with any generic "beginner witch" story you like, and throw "Night of the Living Dead" on top for good measure. That about sums it up.
If you had to read a novel by Laurell K Hamilton, I would highly recommend that you read her own series, Merry Gentry or Anita Blake.
what a waste of time.......2007-09-03
not even close to the standards set by the first of the Anita Blake series. A one-trick pony of a plot, lots of gore for no reason and shallow character development. It started in the middle of a story, never went anywhere, and didn't do much on the way. Dull, depressing and not entertaining.
Terrible.......2007-08-07
First of all, I love Ravenloft. I love the gothic horror feel of the "universe" that is Ravenloft. I've read Vampire of the Mists at least 5 times. (I highly recommend you buy that book.) I love "I, Strahd" - I am actually re-reading that book right now. (Go buy it as well, you won't be sorry.) I loved Knight of the Black Rose (again - go buy it.)
I have read every book in the Ravenloft series (except for Tower of Doom because I don't have it.) I liked Ravenloft so much that I even bought some of the RPG books just so I could read more about the Ravenloft universe even though I never planned on being a "Dungeon Master."
Now, having said all that ... Death of a Darklord, in my humble opinion is, BY FAR, the worst book in the series.
I found this book painfully boring to read, which is why it took me more than a month to finish a book which, based on the length, should only have taken an evening or two.
Each time I would think about picking up the book to read a few chapters, it felt more like a chore than an enjoyable reading experience. Most people would probably just quit reading a book that they didn't find themselves getting into. But I don't like doing that. If I start a book, I always finish it, no matter how long it takes.
The writing quality of this book was extremely poor in my opinion. You just never care about any of the characters. They could all have died off and no one would care. And the parts of the book that were supposed to be important didn't feel important due to the lack of descriptive detail.
It was one of those books where nothing between the first couple of chapters and the last chapter even mattered. Normally an author will spend all of the book building up character development and making the reader interested in the characters and the situations. But in this book, you simply don't care.
When the final chapters finally come around you are just left with a feeling of "what was the point"?
By far THEE worst book in the RavenLoft series.
Booo!.......2007-07-12
I was so disappointed in the conclusion of this book. After reading the Anita Blake series where this regular girl gets out of every unlikely and devastating situation it just seemed wrong. I expected the girl to come into her magic and do lots of things. It's almost pointless that she had magic in the first place cause she didn't do anything significant with it and yet the story revolves mostly around her. What a waste of a good idea.
Not What I Expected.......2007-04-16
I thought this book was one of the most depressing books I've ever read and I'm an avid reader. If this was the first Hamilton book I picked up I'd never read another. However I do know this is not the norm for her. I was left unsatistied and very sad about the fate of the characters that you had come to care about by the end (charachters were well written, just not the plot). Please don't waste your time with this one.

Not really worth the time........2007-09-24
This one doesn't seem to be a typical Laurell K. Hamilton Book. I should point that out to those considering it. I finished in one day during a slow shift at work and I have to say I was thoroughly disappointed. Characters get introduced and then just when you sorta start caring for them they are brushed aside like bothersome ants. The end left me with a bad taste in my mouth that wouldn't go away. The only thing terrifying was that I actually made it to the end of this book. It was quite depressing left me quite unsatisfied. I wanted more but not in a good way. The ending left me feeling cheated especially after you learn what happens to the characters you tried so hard to start liking.
If you want good Laurell K. Hamilton stuff go back to her roots and read the Anita Blake Series before the 'porn' takes control. Basically anything from Obsidian Butterfly and before that. Maybe she'll go back to writing about characters we care about and not this 'fluff'. If not check out Moon Called (Mercy Thompson Series, Book 1) At least you are not left going 'uh... is that it?' when you're done with it.
Book Description
In Pilot Pirx, Lem has created an irresistibly likable character: an astronaut who gives the impression of still navigating by the seat of his pants-a bumbler but an inspired one. By investing Pirx with a range of human foibles, Lem offers a wonderful vision of the audacity, childlike curiosity, and intuition that can give humans the courage to confront outer space. Translated by Louis Iribarne. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book
Customer Reviews:
Pirx. Space professional of the future?.......2007-08-16
Throughout a dozen or so stories the reader is confronted with an evolution of sorts. Pirx, initially a cadet in some sort of a space pilot school, later becomes a full fledged 'space-man' with experience that others can safely and often rely on. Not much of his personal life is shown since the stories concern itself more with a particular plot of the moment. Because of that, Pirx sometimes appears to be a bit alien and emotionless and although what he does can be considered heroic by many standards the book underplays this aspect very well
Pirx is confronted with different problems (on earth and in different locales in the solar system), which he has to resolve or help to resolve. Some of them very mundane, some comical, the others quite heavy with ethical meanings.
Although the setting can be assumed to be far in the future, when space travel has become almost as common as a ride on a bus, the technology often seems like it's on a level of a steam-powered locomotive. The ship computers are mentioned, on-board nuclear reactors abound but all that somehow seems so amazingly ordinary and `everydayish' as an old car or a kitchen gas oven. It gives the stories quite a transcendent feeling
Pirx not quite such a nice guy.......2006-08-21
The ending of this sequence of vignettes hit me like a sledgehammer. Pirx strikes me as a typical guy working in the space service. Several years ago I met a former cosmonaut and I had a much deeper understanding of whom I had met upon reading this book this year. The banality of evil is one theme in Lem's 1970's work, in Communist Poland with its official worship of technological progress as the justification for that now defunct regime. The ending of the book (which I won't give away) screamed at me that being dumb and numb is no excuse, even for a space jockey with "the right stuff." A couple decades ago, my Polish language teacher mentioned that in his opinion, Lem was the best writer in contemporary Polish fiction. Lem addresses the dark side of humanity as a constant in society with an ever-increasing level of technological complexity. More technology simply gives us more opportunities to confront who we are along with the responsibility to be prepared to think about what we are doing and what choices we will make.
Oddly Fascinating Space Adventures.......2002-01-22
This collection of stories by Lem is based around a chubby cadet by the name of Pirx. The character is plucky and gets into all sorts of fixes. I found the first short story the most surprising and fun to read. It's most vivid antagonist are two insects, and it's wildly creative. Another very good story is this one about a robot re-living over and over the last few hours before the death of an entire ship (this was before Pirx's time). A very haunting tale. Overall, a great collection!
The Real Deal.......1999-10-18
Lem's Pirx is compelling and cool. The science is barely fictional and always thought provoking. The plots, however, are a little more predictable than the sequel. If you're going to read one of these, I'd recommend "More".
Excellent, thoughtful short stories.......1999-03-18
Tales of Pirx the Pilot, and More Tales of Pirx the pilot are two excellent sci-fi books! What is unique is that there is such a strong psychological edge to them. And the fact that Pirx is such an everyman - kind of unsure of himself, and from the outside, unassuming and apparently not especially competent. But Lem does something amazing with Pirx - with each story, he gains experience, confidence, cynicism, and most importantly, judgement and wisdom. Make sure to read the Pirx books, as well as The Invincible, and Solaris.

Customer Reviews:
Cannot keep it on my bookshelf.......2007-08-14
As a teacher of reluctant readers, I cannot keep copies of this book on my shelves. I used to introduce Stanislaw Lem to the students first, but this intimidated them. After I changed to letting the stories hook them first, I have found all of his books disappearing. They are fascinated by irreverence and humour in quality writing. I cannot complain about the books disappearing; they are reading.
Pirx and the nonlinear.......2003-08-02
Through the eyes and mind of the now more experienced Pirx, Lem draws conclusions of future's hold on human & android relations, philosophical and psycological attachments included.
For a quick, classic Lem read, this is one of the tops. The collection starts with a few shorts, though deep contemplation, and finishes with two superb longer stories. My two favorites are 'The Accident' (short) and 'The Inquest' (long).
Lem is best read in Polish........2002-11-14
This book is great, although I'm not too crazy about the translation. Realistically though, if you're not planning on learning to speak Polish fluently anytime soon, you should get this copy. It's not that bad. Lem is a great, realistic, down-to-earthy (no pun intended) Science Fiction author. Also get Solaris,...and Fiasco.
Down to earth, so to speak.......2000-04-22
Lem, as always, comes through. In some of his other work he takes on philosophy, science, religion, usually with a humorous strain; in this book, and its predecessor, Tales of Pirx the Pilot, he chooses to write straight hard SF. However, the image usually conjured up by 'hard' SF is Asimov, Heinlen, and so on, meaning writing anchored on scientific devices and with generally far less time spent on character development. Pirx is a welcome antidote. He is an engineer and pilot, grounded in a reality made up not of quantum-physical theories but of nuts and bolts. He's a professional and strictly blue-collar. REading this book might give you an idea of what the future REALLY will be like.

A must have for those interested in Navarre!.......2003-12-27
I have had a few pieces of Fostoria Navarre for years and recently decided to expand my collection. This book is invaluable as it shows all known pieces in the pattern as well as the history of the glassmaking process and the Fostoria company. I feel like a much better educated collector now--the book was well worth the price!
Must-Have for Glass/Crystal Collectors Library.......2001-04-30
Browsing internet auctions led me to this wonderful reference book! I am an inveterate collector, and over the years have enjoyed learning about and gathering many wonderful items. I knew Fostoria Navarre was a quality crystal glassware,having chosen it as my "crystal pattern" in the early 70's. I also knew that eventually Lenox bought the rights to this pattern, and that it had been unavailable for several years. Navarre:by Fostoria is truly an impressive resource in that it it gives a thorough history,and technical information in an interesting and very readable format. The authors proceed in great detail to give a complete pattern history, in short, everything you could ever want to know about about Navarre, and more! There is a complete price guide and great cross-references.Last but not least, the illustrations, drawings and photographs are plentiful and a huge help! I am so glad I added this book to my reference library, and would highly recommend it to anyone with similar interests.

Focusing specifically on colors, textures, and imagery from China and Japan, Asian Style presents a new look into stylistic elements that are often hundreds of years old. Covering texture, materials, architecture, and decoration, you'll find many pages of beautiful inspiration and historical detail. It begins with a look at how specific colors are interpreted differently than in the West, notably red, yellow, white, and gold. Back in A.D. 206, yellow was chosen as the color of the Chinese emperors, much the same as purple was chosen in western civilizations. While many of us may associate yellow with fast food more than intricately embroidered silk, the close-up photos of ancient robes and buildings may have you looking at this color with a fresh eye. Patterns common in Asian art are also explored in detail; as author Jenny de Gex says, "Where we see only the random juxtaposition of flowers, animal, and geometric designs, the Chinese and Japanese will 'read' a story written in a visual language rich in linguistic and literary allusions." Moving onto use of materials like paper, stone, and wood, readers will find a historical perspective on these natural textures, and how ancient uses can be translated into modern times. Not a book that provides specific how-to ideas or floor plans, it is rather an exploration of stylistic differences between cultures that is a refreshing change from misguided attempts at westernizing feng shui. Ending with a short section on Japanese gardens, the overall sense is of a book in love with the rich simplicity available from these two ancient cultures. --Jill Lightner
Book Description
The Asian Style Source Book features the design and decoration of Japan and China. This includes embroidery, lacquerware, and calligraphy, as well as screens, temples, and tea ceremonies. This book pays close attention to the famous gardens of Asia, including Chinese gardens, stepping stones, Japanese gardens, Zen gardens, and water gardens.
Customer Reviews:
Not what I expected.......2002-04-27
This book is more of a history lesson then a decorating book. You learn the significance of color and design in asian decorating, but you never get any decorating guidance. Even the pictures are lackluster and do not offer much more. Save your money for something else.

A must-read for travellers in Ireland........1999-04-02
I'm ordering an extra copy of this book for my Irish house; it walks away with visitors, I think. It's a wonderful wander through a colorful land which, in a way, persists behind the modern clutter, the wide roads and narrow minds that have replaced the old ways. I'll carry it with me as I drive down to Roundstone, up to Sligo, amethyst mining on Achill ... the stones, plants, birds and other charms of Ireland are merrily visited, and it gives another dimension to one's explorations.
