Heaven Has No Favorites

Book Description

Lillian is charming, beautiful . . . and slowly dying of consumption. But she doesn't wish to end her days in a hospital in the Alps. She wants to see Paris again, then Venice--to live frivolously for as long as possible. She might die on the road, she might not, but before she goes, she wants a chance at life.

Clerfayt, a race-car driver, tempts fate every time he's on the road. A man with no illusions about chance, he is powerfully drawn to a woman who can look death in the eye and laugh. Together, he and Lillian make an unusual pair, living only for the moment, without regard for the future. It's a perfect arrangement--until one of them begins to fall in love. . . .

A Wonderful Classic.......2000-02-23

Even if you are the type to read Remarque's works, this is the most touching and real book i have read. It gives deep insights into love and live in general. The perfect book any hopeless romantic. I will remember this and insights forever.

Theme: Live life to the fullest and be happy........1998-09-11

This book wasn't the best Remarque book that I've read. In short it is about a race car driver, Clerfayt, who falls in love with a terminal ill patient, named Lillian. She finds a new lease on life after leaving the sanatorium with Clerfayt. Clerfayt leads a risky life on the edge, where as Lillian has lead a quiet, "safe" life in an attempt to be cured. Realizing her time is growing short, she feels she is ready for a big change.

Their roles reverse as the course of the book plays out, each gaining insight to the fallacies of the other person's lifestyle. Remarque throws a lot of wit and wisdom in the conversations and thoughts, which to me didn't seem normal. However, Remarque's characters, in all of his books, tend to be deep and thoughtful.

Overall, though, it was enjoyable departure from his typical WW2 books. Worth reading, but he has other better ones.

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03

Shapeshifter sides with sentients over silicon.

A rare alien is the focal character here, and has shapeshifting abilities, making him a pretty handy agent. One of the Culture's minds needs finding, and it is found to be on the planet of the dead shapeshifters. So, warmongering Idirans see this as important enough to retrieve in their conflict with the Culture. Our main character has a super-agent hounding him, as well as having to fall in with a sorry arse band of mercenaries with a crazed non-sleeping captain out to participate in a high stakes deadly gambling tournament on a doomed space station.

warm & fuzzy.......2007-04-24

Oh, bless Iain M. Banks for his space operas, such as Consider Phlebas and The Algebraist. These novels are everything I want in a novel. The characters are fantastic (no doubt), the situations are epic (indeed), the humor is light at times and dark on others (I concur) and finally the plot is mesmerizing (hear, hear). When reading a Banks' space opera, it feels like I'm wrapped in a warm & fuzzy blanket.

Not bad.......2007-01-19

This is gritty, hard-boiled science fiction. Not the happier, fluffier sci-fi/fantasy I tend to prefer. It was dense with imagery and not for the faint of heart. It chronicles a more realistic view of warfare, where there may not be any truly `good guys' and there are things even moderately good people have to do to survive that are not pleasant. And not everything turns out for the best.

The story was a little slow moving at times, and there was far more description than I liked, but the plot was strong. The action sequences were compelling, and the characters, while not precisely likable, were intriguing. It was a slog at times getting through it, yet at others, the pages flew.

I'd say that a hard-core sci-fi fan would probably enjoy it.

A hidden gem.......2006-12-15

Two civilizations are at war: the Idirans and the Culture. Horza, a shapechanger, serves as an agent for the Idirans. His next assignment is to retrieve a device created by the Culture called The Mind which has crashed landed and hidden itself on a desolate planet. How will Horza complete his mission, considering the planet is a frozen wasteland? Consider Phlebas is a hidden gem of space opera.

Iain M. Banks knows how to write the fast-paced action scene. One episode has Horza and a crew of mismatched mercenaries raiding a huge, dead spaceship floating around an object that resembles Larry Niven's Ringworld; during the raid, the ship crashes into a giant iceberg and the crew tries to escape with their world crashing around them. In another chapter, Horza flies a small spaceship through a larger ship's docking station; the result is a rip-roaring "car chase" scene that makes the reader want to duck his head.

Consider Phlebas contains a few things the reader might question. One, Horza is a likable character, but morally ambiguous. He kills innocent people without remorse. Two, the book contains a few chapters about a character named Fal 'Neegstra which interrupt the story and add nothing to the plot. Third, The last page of the book suggests that the story may not have even happened, but that is up to interpretation. If you read this book, read it for the guilty pleasure attained in loving space opera.

Overall, people who enjoyed Simmons's Hyperion or Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep will enjoy Bank's Consider Phlebas.

An Amalgamation of All The Great Aspects of Sci-Fi Up Until 1987, 497 Pages, Publ 1987, 3-1/2 Stars.......2006-08-28

Reading the prologue of this book is like enjoying steaming hot delicious fresh lobster dripping in dipped butter, surrounded by a thick layer of luxurious, creamy ice cream, with that surrounded by a layer of delicious dark chocolate. This novel's prologue, and that of James Hogan's Code of the Lifemaker, are probably the two most ecstasy endorphin producing prologue's I may ever have read. However, as in the case of eating something delicious, there's some measure of guilt afterwards. The prologue is everything the Science Fiction Writer's of America (SFWA) have been warning for decades. They even sponsor the derogatory phrase `space opera' for this type of science fiction. The word `opera' used in conjunction with any other term usually doesn't evoke any positive visions. Does anyone think positively of `soap operas'? When I read the term `space opera' I think of some large, massively built woman, wearing some viking hat with horns singing Battle of the Valkries in a piercing voice, although perhaps instead, to keep it in a sci-fi vein, with a horseshoe-crab-like forehead singing a Klingon Death Song ending in "Ka-Plah!". (Although the SFWA somehow despises the term `sci-fi' which to me rhymes with hi-fi which means high-fidelity which brings visions of $20,000 stereo speakers taller than you are tweaked by a team of experts connected to a multi-thousand dollar amplifier, so go figure.) Members of the SFWA have been worried about this type of space adventure/space war type of novel detracting from what they consider cutting-edge SF, such as magical amulets, colored auras, female middle-age angst, faery handbags, lesbianism (no joke!), etc.

So, OK, after the sheer enjoyment after reading the prologue, I started out with giving this book 4 stars, not wanting to give it too high a rating too soon, dropped it a 1/2 star during the middle of the novel and then another 1/2 star towards the end. One problem is that the book is too long, the episodes too drawn out. The other is that it's too derivative. Being derivative isn't necessarily bad, it's difficult to write something new and unique, often it's taking a theme and making something new out of it. But in this books case it feels derivative. I read aspects of a multitude of past science fiction books and movies here, such as EE Smith's Lensman series, Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination, Larry Niven's Ringworld, Asimov's Foundation series, the original Star Wars, the movie Alien, and others. This though I suppose could be considered a strength for newer readers of science fiction; that one can read this book and get caught up to date (publ date, 1987 in this case) to science fiction without having to read or watch other science fiction books or movies. The book also lacks a certain amount of sophistication. Although it's a straight-forward book, so that it would, with the rich combination of science fiction themes, make this a good book for readers in their late teens.

This book was recommended to me by someone who considered this the greatest science fiction book written, even better than Orson Scott Card's Enders Game. I think many readers of science fiction would argue that, considering that Enders Game swept both the Nebula and Hugo awards for the year of its publication. Not only did Consider Phelbas not win any of those awards, it wasn't even nominated as a finalist for either of them. Now from 1987 onward, this doesn't mean much for the Nebula considering what the SFWA have given the award to, however for the Hugo award, which are voted on by the fans, these awards tend to be bestowed to really great science fiction including those novels that would be considered `fun', which Consider Phelbas could certainly be categorized as.

I increased my final rating by 1/2 star by recognizing that the final hero of the story may appeal to certain readers that don't always see this type of hero in science fiction.

The main protagonist of the story is certainly nebulous when it comes to morality. There are certain situations that he's placed into that are not directly his fault, such as arriving on a pirate ship into a `me-vs.-him' situation. A definition of love could be described as a feeling for someone that you would be willing to die for them. However, would you be willing to die for someone you're not in love in, or even someone that's not a scientific genius, a great artist, president, or some other high-level official? How about dying for someone you don't even know? Would you be willing now to kill, in order not be killed... literally with a gun pointed to your head? Could you live with it... because if you can't, you won't. So there's some ambiguity of one's actions, including the protagonists, in such a situation. However, as the story progresses, the main protagonist shows a continuous disregard for sentient beings.

To some reviewers it was difficult to understand the motivation of the main protagonist, Horza. Like a previous reviewer suggested, the main protagonist picking one of the two sides at war is like someone joining the Communists in order to fight the Nazis. Or one could say joining the Nazis to fight the Communists. Now if you have a different emotion reaction to these two statements, considering there are library shelves filled with the atrocities committed by Communists; filled with tortures committed by the Communists, tortures to the eyes, to reproductive organs, with `interrogation' rooms with gullies for the rivulets of blood, so as not to cause an inconvenient trip hazard to the `workers', with triangular shaped knives that would cause wounds that won't heal so to keep the torturers from taking additional time from their busy schedules to have to re-stab their victims. That the Communists, as well as the Nazis, maybe didn't cause deaths in the Megamillions as in the novel, but did butcher people in the Deca-millions. Now if an organization brutally murders people in the DECA-millions and all you get is a shrug, a blasé tone of voice, and a "ech, whatcha gonna do", then you know something is seriously screwed up. So it's *easy* then to understand how Horza is able to justify his positions, and then it becomes easy to understand how Horza picks his side.

Book Description

A breakthrough bread book by the unchallenged expert in gluten-free and wheat-free cookingIn Bette Hagman's three earlier cookbooks, she worked with gluten-free flours that are safe for celiacs (those who are intolerant to gluten) and for those with wheat allergies to create recipes for great- tasting food. Knowing from her own hard-earned experience that bread is the greatest loss for those who can't eat wheat, oats, rye, or barley, she has experimented with exciting new bean-based flours and has devoted an entire book to breads. Here are yeast breads, yeast-free breads, muffins, rolls, buns, breakfast breads, and crackers-a vast array of recipes for the oven or the bread machine-for people who cannot buy breads at a bakery or supermarket but must rely on their own kitchens to provide the staff of life.Along with dozens of great recipes are: a beginner's guide to understanding and cooking with gluten-free flours; answers to commonly asked questions about baking with these flours; and a source list of where to buy gluten-free baking supplies.

happy bread eater.......2007-08-02

I have been cooking (and eating) my way through this book! It is easy to read, and follow. Lots of variety in the recipes. Worth every penny!

Needs To Rethink The Bean Flour Mixture.......2007-07-14

There are a great many bread recipes in this book, but I have found that some of the breads are too sweet or just taste downright bad due to the beany taste. The bean flour blend IS higher in protein than the rice blend but some of us cannot tolerate the bean flours either. I found that the bean flour breads left an overpowering aftertaste, needless to say I wasn't impressed. Most of the recipes I found I had to use the rice blend instead of the bean blend and then add some extras for protein and had a far better tasting loaf of bread. To each his own though. All in all, it is a very usable bread book just use your imagination to expand on the recipes!

Gluten Free bread.......2007-04-10

Very good creative recipes, sourcing products used required a special health products provider - Goodness Direct. Author uses a lot of flours only obtainable from US, which I haven't so far got hold of.

An essential book for a gluten free bookshelf.......2006-12-12

I have loved Bette Hagman's cookbooks since I first got "More from the Gluten free Gourmet" with her amazing rapid french bread recipe. WHen I found out she was coming out with a book of JUST BREADS I was ecstatic, and then when I began trying these recipes, I was even happier because they are ALL excellent. I've been trying out new recipes from this book ever since I got it, and I have found some surprising hits, like her amazingly flavorful quinoa bread, and the cinnamon breads, and the sourdough breads... I could go on and on, but I am a huge fan of her new four flour blend with bean flour. I think it's a little unfair to criticize her for the low protein featherlight blend, which she uses in some of her recipes- she doesn't advertise herself as a wheat free high protein baker, but a gluten free gourmet. She has changed the lives of those of us with Celiac sprue who have been stuck with processed breads or mediocre mixes all of our lives.. and I am incredibly grateful. I have been very happy working with her recipes using the new nutritious flours such as sorghum and bean flour, and I'm glad she's always experimenting with new flours to give us more nutritious options (even if they are initially difficult to procure). All of the flour she uses are available in the United States, and most should be available in Canada- Kinnikinnick may be a good source for some of the flours, as well as asian or indian markets. Gluten free products have only been getting better over the last ten years- and I think we can credit Bette's creative genius as inspiring many of these positive changes. BTW, I do love Bette, and her breads, but I have to admit, her sweet tooth and my sweet tooth don't always get along- as in some of her old desserts in previous cookbooks, and savory dishes in VERY early cookbooks- ketchup cabbage jello.... WHAT???? This is her best book to date, and if you're just going to get ONE book, please do yourself a favor and get this one. The crumpets are to die for, if nothing else... And she has many substitutions for those with complex intolerances. I had very good luck with her recipes even when I was a full fledged vegan. Happy gluten free baking! This book is a keeper!

Very Pleased..........2006-03-15

I was very worried about making bread, but Bette's Four Flour Bread was so easy and tasked great..I was very pleased.. I can't wait to try another.

Book Description

Borders are a natural development of Celtic patterns, whereby an abstract or animal pattern may be repeated to fill a band or frame a panel. Aidan Meehan shows how to create a variety of rectangular Celtic borders, based upon a simple square-grid. The borders are proportioned to fit a standard letter-size page, but are equally suited for stationery or illuminated pages, and are readily adaptable to any number of craft applications.

It’s a classic book by the world’s acknowledged master of contemporary Celtic art. Perfect for all painters, designers, and handicraft enthusiasts who want to incorporate traditional Celtic patterns into their work, this beautiful collection contains a combination of over 80 abstract and realistic images. The inspiring range of motifs to trace or adapt includes knotwork, spirals, key patterns, crosses, and zoomorphic designs—some from classic works like The Lindisfarne Chronicles.

Customer Reviews:

LOOK but don't USE.......2000-08-06

Courtney Davis' illustrations are beautiful and inspiring. The pantheon of traditional motifs - including zoomorphic, spirals in addition to strictly knotwork - make turning each page an intriguing adventure. Many of the images are from commercial illustrations (book covers, posters, textiles), but that doesn't detract from their inherent artistry. If you enjoy picture books of intricate Celtic design, this tome is for you. However, I was disappointed because the copyright prohibits the use of any images in craft or publication. I publish newsletters for a non-profit organization that re-creates the Middle Ages to educate people about history. I also use clip art images for pyrography (wood burning). For these purposes, the book is useless. I assumed (since it wasn't printed in the on-line description) that the images could be used because the title came up on a search engine under "Celtic clip art" (this did NOT happen at Amazon.com - it was another web site). By definition, clip art books allow re-production of the images. Despite my dismay about not being able to use the images for the reason I purchased the book, I have kept it in my library as a source of inspiration for my own knotwork designs. Following the intricate knotwork lines can be a relaxing meditation. The drawings are really quite lovely.

More designs by Celtic Arist.......2000-03-31

Courtney Davis is probably the most profilic illustrater of Celtic tshirts, sold at fairs across the lands. Any celtic art book of hers is worth buying, even sight unseen.

I actually bought the book hoping for borders for clothing design, but it is more set for paper/book type borders. I'm giving it five stars anyway, because for what it is meant for it is not only fantastic, but the only book of its sort I've seen available, after years of scrounging at Celtic fairs.

As usuall with Courtney's work, the designs are beautiful and well chosen giving a well rounded variety of possible designs to choose from.
