Crappy Crap Crap.......2006-02-17
This is a perfect example of why "Chicano" literature took so long to catch on. America had to wait until its population was saturated with the Mexican filth. This use of hispanic language is this book was distracting and gratuitous; however, the most disturbing part of the novel was the incessant mention of some act of incest between Sonny, the stories protagonist, and his first cousing. Please excuse me while I vomit. I want to defecate on this book before I turn it back in to the library.
Best of Chicano Literature, for Chicanos.......2003-05-31
I strongly recommend this author and particularly this book. However, care should be taken when reading Some background in spanish is recommended since author likes to throw in a bit of "Spanglish" in,Englis, and Spanish mix, expecting that readers will catch on. A most interesting character Sonny Baca, its very refreshing to read about Latino heros, which go unmention in American Literature.
Rio Grande Fall review.......2002-10-28
Rio Grande Fall is one of my favorite mystery books. The characters are unique and likable, the plot is captivating, and the story is full of the Spanish language and myth that Rudolpho Anaya is known for.
Sonny Baca is an investigator living in New Mexico who journeys into the world of the supernatural during a murder investigation. Through the help of his loving girlfriend and an enchanting curandera he finds the answers he seeks regarding the murder case and his inner self. The action in the book is guided by the existance of mystical beings; An intriguing plot is joined with Catholicism and the spirits of the earth to create an original type of mystery novel.
Rudolfo Anaya's vivid portrayal of Mexican culture and heritage, along with beautiful imagery and, a thrilling mystery plot, ensure the Sonny Baca series to be a long lived one.
Magical Mystery Tour.......2001-12-07
This second book by Anaya, regarding the adventures of his detective hero Sonny Baca and his companion Rita, has wonderful contrasts between the three layers of culture in the Rio Grande valley in New Mexico. We are shown the modern American culture in the setting of this novel during the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Albuquerque, where we encounter modern life and modern villains and some heros as well, even among that modern phenomenon of a homeless population. The Hispanic culture is included in the cantina, the bar, knife fights, and gun battles in the predominantly Spanish barrios in parts of Albuquerque, as well as in the Church of San Felipe de Neri. This book is most appealing in the poetic beauty that Anaya brings to this complex tale by carrying the story deeper into the magical thinking of the mysterious culture of the Native Americans. Anaya brings the magical fantasies in slowly but reaches a grand climax in the heroic battle of good versus evil as if it were out of a Navajo legend. It is great fun to go on such a fast tour through these different cultures. In the end, it leaves you with a greater appreciation of the unreal beauty of the Native American cultures. It is helpful, but not essential, to know a little bit of Spanish to understand the brief interchanges in Spanish between some of the characters. This use of Spanish is at a basic level and never too taxing, since Anaya often explains the action also in English.
Sonny Baca and Raven square off for Round 2!.......2000-09-06
Rio Grande Fall is the second novel featuring the resourceful Alburquerque private eye, Sonny Baca. Rita, Lorenza, Turco, Don Elesio, Howard, and the rest of the unforgetable characters from Zia Summer are featured and so is the diabolical eco-terrorist, Raven!
The Hot Air Balloon Festival of Alburquerque is in danger of being cancelled unless Sonny Baca can figure out who is responsible for the murder of two balloon pilots. It doesn't take Sonny long to realize that his arch rival, Raven is responsible, but Raven has more on his agenda than just vengance. A beautifully written novel with suspense and surprises all set in the mysteriously charming state of New Mexico.
Not as good as Zia Summer, but an enjoyable sequel nontheless!

Sadly, a rare occurence in children's literature........2003-09-15
Thrump-O-Moto is a wonderful book! I have been reading it since I was old enough to read, yearly at least. An epic storyline, delightful art, and heart warming message. It proves that miracles can happen, but they are never very easy. As a child, it was a children's book about adult things like life, death, and heroism, which is why I love it. Its a pity there aren't more books like this jewel.
Thrump-o-Moto.......2001-10-28
This is a beautifully illiustrated and written book for both children and adults. It is touching and inspiring. It brings home the important lesson of never giving up and helping to fight the good fight against an illiness or other evil.
Takes place in Australia and Japan and a fantasy land.
Charming and lovable characters.
Enchanting and inspiring.
Heart warming story.......1999-10-27
I bought this book for my children for Christmas in 1988. It was so beautiful in word and pictures that I bought a second book so that each of the children could have their own book. It's story of the wizard "Thrump O Moto and how he saves Patricia from the evil "Nurk-u the Bad is so delightful. I always wanted to find the address of Steven Spielberg as I felt it would have been a wonderful movie only Spielberg could have writted for the screen.
A richly illustrated, magnificent fantasy for all ages.........1996-11-19
Clavell's Thrump-O-Moto is nothing short of a literarymasterpiece. This fantasy begins with a lazy rural afternoon and leaps across continents and through time warps with a most informal and personal accessibility. The possibilities of friendship, the comparison of cultures, and the thrill of adventure all contribute to create a most fantastic story. The illustrations supplement the flowing text like frosting on an already luscious cake. Clavell's marriage of detail and whimsy make for characters and places with an endearing, enduring reality all their own. Ideal for preschool and young elementary children, Thrump-O-Moto may require a few laptimes for tots with short attention spans; but don't be surprised if when you finally reach the end, you are asked to begin the adventure all over again!

Tuck in!.......2001-01-08
The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are enjoying a meal in a restaurant when they are swept up in a space-time event and wind up in the Crystal Bucephalus - a restaurant wherein diners can choose any restaurant from history to dine in, and the space-time mechanism of the Bucephalus will arrange it. And the Doctor, much to his chagrin, is the owner - having invested mnoney to lose it in the restaurant's creation. But with space-time accessible from the Bucephalus, there are others who are keen to get their hands on it...
Setting this book in a restaurant is an inspired idea, as you may very well feel like you've had a banquet by the time you are finished. The Doctor, Tegan and Turlough are quite well portrayed, and even Kamelion gets to do something (although it is, yet again, being controlled by someone else...).
While you are enjoying the main plotline, the story is embroidered with many many references to Doctor Who (and other, including Star Trek) trivia.
While perhaps a little rich for some tastes, it is still a book many will savour!
A raucous sci-fi adventure & standout in the Dr Who series.......1997-01-25
Craig Hinton's first two novels for the Missing Adventures series ranks, I think, as some of the most imaginative Dr. Who fiction to date. Hinton clearly realizes that the success of the books hinges on the expansion of the Doctor's universe outwards from the confines of the BBC studios, and he achieves this admirably in a bizarre tale set in the distant future involving a time-travelling restaurant, the murder of the most powerful man in the universe, a resurrected saviour, and of course, the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough. Kamelion makes an appearance, to boot
Book Description
Historical document or a forgery? "The Archko Volume" contains the testimonies of Jesus' contemporaries, especially his enemies, concerning his arrest, crucifixion, and resurrection. Readers can decide for themselves if they truly contain the recorded testimonies of Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate.

Dubious But a Lot of Fun.......2005-08-21
Christianity is filled with writings that purport to be eyewitness accounts of Jesus' life. Many are forgeries, i.e., they are based on real traditions, but the writers put fake names on them to give them greater authority. The orthodox gospel of Matthew is one such example. Apocryphal writings of this kind have been surfacing for centuries with their "discoverers" often claiming to find them under extraordinary circumstances. The Archko Volume is one such work. The first edition revealed direct plagiarism from the novel Ben Hur, and this certainly cast doubt on everything else in the book. But there is still a mystery about it. Did the authors McIntosh and Twyman make up everything, or if they had created a collection of forgeries, were their writings still based on other documents? If so, what documents? Some Archko writings are intriguing; for example, people interested in UFOs will find remarkable passages here, and this in a book that was published in the late 1800's long before popular UFO awareness. The Archko Volume also contains my favorite apocryphal writing: "Gamaliel's interview with Joseph and Mary and others concerning Jesus" which presents us with an amusing account of Jesus as a lazy young man born of an ugly disagreeable father and a chubby mother who despaired that her son would amount to anything. Hardly the makings of a savior! Alas, New Testament scholars are right to reject the Archko documents since no trace of them have ever been found anywhere else, and the Ben Hur connection was an embarrassment, to say the least. Still, I give this book three stars for its fun value and for the little bit of mystery that it still provides.
Real Life people proving Jesus' Life, Death and Resurrection.......2004-09-07
This book changed my life. Not like the Bible has, of course, but it was excellent to see the intensity of author to prove that his work was validated in writing this book. He acquires actual proof and deliberates on each point in the detail you need, even if you have a mind for truth.
Letters from Pilate, Herod and Jesus' parents. Accounts of the soldiers at the tomb, and how they were shaken. The high priest Caiaphas sees Jesus after his resurrection, and converts to Christianity!
Rivoting! And not because the author wanted to sell this...as it was written over 115 years ago, long before people could profit from publishing rubbish!
Spiritual Impact.......2003-08-31
The Archko Volume was introduced to me during a Bible study when a portion of the book was read to offer an extra-biblical perspective on the crazed mob that chanted, "Crucify Him!"
It was a qualified reading, with the pastor warning that the Archko Volume was of questionable veracity. However, it gave an insight into the mob mentality which, I might add, could apply to the present day.
Fascinated, I looked for The Archko Volume for months before I finally obtained the hardcover copy. Seeking more insights, I read it from cover to cover.
The emotional reaction to The Archko Volume is easy: many of us yearn to hear of more first-hand experiences of Jesus Christ - Whom we love and follow - by people who saw Him and heard Him when He was manifested on the earth. We want more descriptions and perspectives about Jesus and the events surrounding his presence from those who were there in those days. We want to accept the things that generally follow our expectations, especially when they do not appear to contradict the Word of G-d.
This book does all that. Could things have happened this way? Sure. There are even hints at unbelievers redeemed, even villains in high places, and because we know our hearts are also black it gives us hope and encouragement for ourselves and others.
Therefore, to the extent of an individual's depth of knowledge and belief in the Bible, The Archko Volume can fill a desire to hear more, and open the eyes.
Open the eyes? Yes. Almighty G-d can use anything (anything!) to touch our hearts and lead us to Him. The pure of heart will see G-d, even in this book.
There is a spiritual response to all things. If you allow them to do so, the writings in The Archko Volume could strengthen your citizenship in the Kingdom of G-d and increase the capacity to bear the burdens of being a Believer in an unbelieving world. Even non-Christian governments could see how a Citizen of Heaven benefits the general citizenry - may they be encouraged to leave us in peace - and if true Christian practises breed a peaceful kingdom, then let hearts be won, one by one.
Idealistic? Yes. But we who are Believers know the end of the story. There will come a time when we are called upon to die in the name of Jesus Christ. And if we are gird with the Truth and can be encouraged by the things in this book, then read it and be encouraged. Here's the caveat: Only the Word of G-d is incorruptible; let all else be proved against it.
Could The Archko Volume stand up to critical scholarship? Maybe not. With unlimited resources, I'd commission the best tutors and personally look into everything from the Vatican to the Sophia library to see for myself what is there: the gospel of Luke and the book of Acts? G-d always manages to lead me; to surprise and delight me. Even in the stories of The Archko Volume.
Wise as serpents.......2002-06-12
Reviewer: Roger Pearse from Ipswich, Suffolk United Kingdom
In the 19th century there was a flood of genuine discoveries of ancient manuscripts containing hitherto unknown works from antiquity. This seems to have stimulated the production of numbers of bogus documents, targetted at various communities. The common motive was to get money: the intended victims of the hoaxes could be determined by the language used.
Most of these documents have vanished into history, with their target groups - 'Jesus in Tibet' enthusiasts and the like. The Archko volume is one that has not. It was first published in 1884 under the title "The Archaeological and the Historical Writings of the Sanhedrin and Talmuds of the Jews..." and repackaged, reedited and revised as "The Archko Volume" (2nd Edition) during the life of W.D.Mahan, its author (I have both a 1884 and a 1905 edition - Mahan died in 1906).
After some difficulty I procured a first edition. One document -'Eli and the Story of the Magi' has been omitted altogether from subsequent editions, without any mention of why. There is, of course, a good reason for this. Apparently the text is copied verbatim from the novel "Ben Hur" (publ. 1880). The rest of the material has been rearranged, although there is no mention of this in the preface. All copies with the title 'Archko volume' are versions of the second edition - the first does not have the preface in the same place.
I investigated the 'translators' McIntosh and Twyman, and found that they are not listed as the authors of any other volume in the US Library of Congress catalogue. There is no evidence that they ever existed.
The shelfmark given for the material by "Valleus Paterculus", as a Vatican Library shelfmark, is wrong, as this institution classifies its manuscripts by collection, not by author. Since I am interested in other Vatican MSS, I can vouch for this myself. In fact no manuscripts of any work by Velleius Paterculus exist anywhere in the world, as the sole MS of his real history was lost during the 17th century. Since he died in AD30, it naturally does not mention Christ.
A general discussion of some of these hoaxes is available:GOODSPEED, Edgar J., Strange New Gospels, Chicago: University of Chicago Press (1931), v+110pp. (There is a copy on the internet). It isn't very scholarly, and some of the judgements seem biased - New Testament Scholars enjoy a low reputation among Christians, and with good reason - but I have checked a number of the facts given and they seem to be correct. The rest must be left to the judgement of the reader.
The purpose of the hoax is plain - to make money from Christians living in rural areas of the US. As far as I know, it has not circulated elsewhere. It certainly was not targetted at unbelievers, or scholars, or even persons living outside the US, none of whom were at all likely to be taken in.
So what should Christians think? I was reminded of some wise words by the ancient Christian writer, Tertullian: "Manifold are the ways in which the devil has sought to undermine the truth. He is now trying to crush it, by pretending to defend it" (Adversus Praxean 1, 1). Spiritually this is a snare - inviting Christians to put their trust in something false, in the hope of convincing them, when the fraud is revealed, that the bible too is false. Commercially it is circulated for money, since its fraudulent nature has been known for over a century. If something seems too good to be true - it is. So is this.
Archko Volume looks real to me.......2001-09-03
Some people claim the Archko Volume to be a forgery. My opinion is why would it be? Nothing in it either detracts or adds to christianity. In fact--it amplifies the humanity & godhead of Jesus at the same time. In the Archko Volume there is a written investigative report saying the night Jesus was born there was a loud ruckus of angels declaring the saviour accompanied by light shows and singing in the skies--so much so all Bethlehem was aware. So, why would anyone think the Sanhedrim would not send an investigator (Jonathan) to look into these. This awesome birth of Jesus thus documented, why would anyone think the same Sanhedrim wouldn't send an investigator to interview Mary & Joseph when Jesus was 26? I'd of been very suspect if they didn't. Perhaps those that think this is a forgery do not like the fact that the Senhedrim's agent Gamaliel reported Joseph is selfish, tall and ugly; or that Mary is fair to see and seems to be a naturally good woman. Perhaps some people think this is a forgery because Pilate appears in extreme awe of Jesus, almost a believer, in his reports to Rome. Or, that what Caiaphas wrote after and about the resurrection may have some wondering if he too resigned and later died a Christian. Can I or anyone say 100% that these are real? No - but only for the same reasons I cannot say that any copy of our Declaration of Independence in existence is real. Do I believe they are real? Yes!

Customer Reviews:
Not very useful for my home.......2007-07-01
I ended up donating this book to the library book sale. The ideas were not practical for a "regular" house (and I have old wood floor painted bright red, so I am not totally traditional) and I am sorry I bought it without looking at it first.
Perfect Subtitle.......2006-11-10
Exactly right: no faux painting here, just good ideas for all kinds of rooms. Loved it.
Lots of Ideas Here.......2006-03-03
This book has lots of ideas, some quite unique, for decorating your walls. Unfortunately some are so unique that they edge over into the weird territory. In Fong's case, this happens with:
*the sticky note covered wall
*the compact disk covered wall
*a gray wall with a grid of yellow envelopes containing orange notes
*stapling pages of a book in a scattered way on a wall to make it look like they blew there from a book on the table
Maybe some designers are trying too hard to be novel and to stand out from the crowd.
This book is written for teenage girls.......2005-11-02
The book has few inovative ideas. Come on Spirograph and sticky notes on the wall...Watch a few shows on the home and garden network for better more unique ideas and save the $20.
Amazing creativity!.......2005-10-29
I loved this book. The ideas were amazing -- I never thought I'd find so many creative ideas that I would be excited to try. The format is very thorough and easy to follow with great photography, so that even I feel I can actually do it despite not being very handy. And Jonathan's dry wit throughout makes the book a fun read. I'm sure I'll be referring back to this book many times over the years.

A Good Death: A Memoir on the Life of an Avatar.......2002-01-06
This book is a "must read" for seekers at all levels. It gives an unparalleled insight into the commitment necessary for spiritual attainment and gives us a rare look at the daily struggles and challenges faced by a human avatar.
Very Interesting.......2001-11-29
I am not an avid reader but I enjoyed this book from start to finish. I was interested to read the details of this woman's life lived in and guided by spiritual energy.
