Book Description

Making her much-anticipated return with her first children's series, Karen Scalf Linamen presents a charming story of a princess trying to discover who God wants her to be. Princess Madison isn't your typical princess. She has dirt under her nails, freckles on her nose, and marbles in her pocket. But none of this bothered Princess Madison until she heard what princesses are supposed to be: pretty little girls who wear pink and drink tea. What is she going to do now? Join Princess Madison as she competes in the Royal Darling Pageant and discovers that you don't need to dress or act a certain way in order to be valuable in God's eyes.

A better explanation of the magic of MTG........2005-06-28

While I really enjoyed the first MTG book, Arena, I thought it lacked a decent explanation of how the magic actually works. I mean, where do the summoned creatures come from and where do they go when a battle is finished. In this book, an attempt was made to do some explaining about this and really helped the reader get a better grasp on just what is happening during wizardly battles. In this book, summoned creatures are real beings simply being teleported into the sight of a duel and remain behind aftwards until sent somewhere else by a wizard. This system makes more sense to me than the one in which monsters are just created from nothing or summoned from some kind of void in a wizards pouch.

The story in this book is also fun and fast-paced. Greensleeves and her brother Gull are introduced and begin their adventures under the employ of a wizard after their home is destroyed by a wizard duel. While the book may seem a little kiddish (especially the characters names), the story is actually detailed, violent and gory, with all the good elements of a good pulp fantasy. A fast and enjoyable read.

The Best Magic: The Gathering book, hands down........2001-03-14

I have been an avid magic player for seven years now and this book captures the essence of the game more than any of the other books do. In Magic players summon creatures without thinking twice about them, but this book explains, for the first time, where they come from. Every creature has a story. The newer Magic books do an excellent job of keeping the storyline for the game together, but this original story (along with it's two sequels "Shattered Chains" and "Final Sacrafice") are the best of the lot. They tell the story of Gull, a simple woodcutter and his sister Greensleves and how wizards change their lives forever.

It could have been better.......2000-10-14

I tried to read the MTG books in the order they were published, and after reading Arena, I was very surprised by the difference. Also, you can't expect all the books to be the same. I think the book was good -- the plot was almost too predictable and the main characters are developped nicely. The name of the characters is another matter: they are way too "green" related. I used it with my students, and they seemed to have liked it more than I did.

The best book I have ever read.......1999-06-11

Clayton Emery writes the most exciting fantacy books I have ever read. He describes every detail of the battle scenes.

Dive into the story of Gull and Greensleeves!.......1999-03-16

This was a really good story of Gull, the woodcutter and his sister, Greensleeves, a mage who doesn't know she is. The descriptions are so good, I could read them over and over.

There were pictures of horse comunication postures and descriptions of what they meant, but it would have been nice to have "What you do if this posture shows up" section.

Book Description

Jade Stone was born in 1968 in the small town of Winchester. Jackie had only two dreams in her life. The first was to become the best she could be in the autobody world, and the second was to become a mother. Due to a head-on car accident in 1995, her dream of working on cars came to a crashing end. But with the love, help and support from her mother, brother, and beautiful daughter, in spite of suffering from chronic pain and brain damage to her frontal lobe, Jackie ascended from her tragedy to begin a new life. Stacey-Raye, her teenage daughter, reminded her of the stories she used to make up before bedtime and suggested that she write them down for others to share. A single, disabled mother, Jackie hopes her books bring joy to all who read them.

Feels a tad off.......2007-02-13

I love Dr. WHO and Mesopotamia, so having a book with both should have been a perfect blend. Timewyrm: Genesys picks up where the Dr. Who series and the Seventh Doctor left off. The basic plot of the novel is Ishtar the Goddess of Kish has come to visit her temple. As the city-states of Mesopotamia existed to house the Gods and Goddesses this would not seem out of place.
But Ishtar is really a fleeing evil sentience, cruel and powerful, it wishes to not just take over the city but the world as well. The only thing between her is the Doctor, Ace, Gilgamesh, the survivors of an alien civilization, and a lot of luck.
I would have taken a point away because I felt that the Doctor and Ace were not really acting according to character but the rest of the setting, characters and plot were good enough to overcome that flaw. Also it seems to be the opening book to a longer series - so I hope it gets better. Or got better as it was published in 1991.

The First "Doctor Who" Novel.......2001-12-20

"Timewyrm: Genesys" was published a decade ago and is now just the first of about 200 "Doctor Who" original novels. It has a great hook as the first book -- it really is about the First Book, the epic of Gilgamesh.

The story is a blend of the historical -- Gilgamesh and Enkidu, Uruk and Kush, Ishtar and Ea -- mixed neatly with the time-travel/science-fiction "Doctor Who" formula -- an evil robot woman from the stars comes to Ancient Earth and manipulates the nascent civilization in her evil scheme for universal domination. Enter the Seventh Doctor and Ace, helping Gilgamesh find his destiny and lay off the local beer.

Lots of characters from the first 30 years of DW history -- old friends, even two old Doctors -- make cameo appearances in the book. The novel's resolution even depends in part upon the Third Doctor showing up to assist the Seventh. And yet the story -- human heroes and powerful aliens struggling for control over the future of human history -- moves along quickly, with lots of drinking and fighting and philosophizing. There is a reliance on continuity but that never really harms the book.

"Genesys" has been criticized over the years for its poor characterization of the Seventh Doctor and Ace. There's also a sophomoric attitude towards sex (never seen in DW before up to this point) and an awful lot of bare breasts and senseless killing. However, there's a mostly happy conclusion and the book is mostly devoid of the darkness that would enshroud the Doctor in many subsequent New Adventures. It is not the best sci-fi tie-in novel ever written but it is good of its kind.

The groundwork is set.......2001-11-30

Timewyrm: Genesis was not only the first in a four part series of novels, but also the first in the series of Doctor WHo novels published by Virgin Publishing back in the 90's. Out of the entire series, this book has the strongest ties to the original series and yet, lays the groundwork for what was to come. There are mentions of nudity and sexual behavior, though none is actually committed in this first volume, a definite no-no in the Doctor Who universe. The story is classic Who though, dealing with an ancient power mistaken as a god by Gilgamesh. The doctor and Ace must try to save the entire world from falling under the goddess/alien Ishtar's control. A fun read and a good start to the series. Though out of print, track it down.

Flawed, but enjoyable.......2001-09-30

Looking back at the first New Adventure, TIMEWYRM: GENESYS, it's hard not to crack a smile at the beginning paragraph of editor Peter Darvill-Evans' preface that reads, "Here is an introductory word about Doctor Who - The New Adventures: continuity." Fortunately, the words that follow make clear that the change in format will be taken to its fullest advantage and the Doctor and Ace will be traveling to places and worlds that would have been impossible for them to reach due to the limitations of the small screen. We know now how successful this experiment became, but how much of this was evident at the very beginning?

When we first encounter Ace, she has conveniently lost all of her memories due to the Doctor's accidental meddling. In keeping with the desire to tell stories that are more adult than could be shown on the BBC on Saturday evening, she has also conveniently lost all of her clothes. Don't worry -- she pieces together her mind shortly after a lengthy dressing scene. In having Ace gradually discover everything in her surroundings, John Peel gradually brings the casual reader up to speed with all the background details that he or she will need in order to understand the Doctor's adventures. The Doctor quickly explains things to her, while using the TARDIS to restore the bulk of her memories. This isn't a terrible idea (and ties up nicely with the memory circuits business at the end), but in execution it turns out rather poorly. The scenes of the amnesiac Ace just keep going on and on while the Doctor has to explain more and more of the plot. It was a nice idea to get some of the more difficult concepts across to the reader, but having this information dump lasting through multiple chapters just seems like cheating.

As for the gratuitous Ace nudity, sadly much of the book is equally as adolescent. Although there are one or two scenes of this nature that are serviceable, add to the plot and don't come across as needless, there are far too many scenes of people (usually teenage girls) wandering around naked with juvenile descriptions of their exposed parts. I understand the difficulty that the author and editor must have had to go from the virtually nonexistent sense of sexuality of the television years to the grown-up and sophisticated version that could exist in book form. Sadly, in this initial effort, the result is stuck somewhere in the middle of those and comes across as immature and childish.

The level of violence is also a little bit higher than we were used to on the show, though since blood and gore was something we had encountered before, it doesn't come across as that much of a difference. It's also written with a tad more subtlety than the nudity scenes, and it isn't dwelt on. Nevertheless, there are several battle sequences with rather high body counts. People lose heads, lose limbs, have axes buried into their chests and stomachs, etc. The violence comes across as being fairly cartoonish.

The plot of the story is relatively simple, yet fairly enjoyable. A cybernetic alien has crash-landed at Mesopotamia and is slowly preparing to use her powers of mind-control to enslave the human race. Finding a warning that he left for himself several regenerations ago, the Doctor has come to this time period in search of something called the Timewyrm. He finds the robotic alien who is masquerading as the Goddess Ishtar and attempts to put an end to her evil ways. In doing so, he inadvertently unleashes the very creature he had hoped to defeat - the Timewyrm, who escapes at the end setting up the events of the following three books.

The characters aren't drawn terribly well. The Doctor and Ace seem rather flat and generic. One wonders why the Seventh Doctor needed to summon the Third Doctor to solve a problem, when he'd been acting like that incarnation the whole way through the story. Gilgamesh is brought into the story, and in his opening sections he comes across as a fairly competent leader. Unfortunately, in each of his subsequent scenes he loses what depth he had and by the middle of the book he's degenerated into a drunken, screaming, bellowing, fighting buffoon. Ishtar herself is also portrayed a little strangely and I couldn't quite figure out her motivations. It's explained that she is a very advanced being from an extremely sophisticated society, and yet almost immediately after landing she becomes caught up in a bunch of petty feuds among primitive civilizations. To me it just didn't seem to flow correctly.

I have a few other small nit-picks. No explanation or reason for Enkidu the Neanderthal existing 5,000 years after he should be extinct (this is acknowledged in the narrative, but not justified). The endless continuity references that served no purpose other than to take up space. The numerous typographical errors (was it just my copy, or did the font suddenly change at the bottom of page three?) and as these sorts of mistakes are things that I almost never catch, I'm guessing that there were a lot of other misprints that I didn't notice. The Doctor and Ace arguing for no reason other than to artificially insert a level of angst that the story didn't require.

However, despite the problems with the characterization and sloppy prose, I was quite entertained while reading this. It's a slight, but enjoyable read. There are a lot of places that are a bit weak, but the pieces in between are very readable. The Doctor gets quite a few good lines: "I never make stupid mistakes, just very, very clever ones." Although there are numerous problems, somehow the whole ends up being greater than the sum of its weak parts and makes for a fairly entertaining book.

New adventures begin..........2001-03-18

After the BBC ceased producing the Doctor Who TV series, there were some questions as to what would happen to the books published - by and large, they were adaptations of the TV serial. Due to company takeovers, Virgin now had the licence to Doctor Who books, and had been trying to obtain permission for original adventures. And in 1991, they began...

The Doctor finds a message from himself warning about a creature called the Timewyrm, and so he and Ace head off to the origin of the message - Mesopotamia 2700 BC. There, a spacecraft has crashed and its cybernetic pilot is posing as the goddess Ishtar. The Doctor and Ace throw in their lot with Gilgamesh to battle this false god from beyond the stars...

The new Doctor Who range commenced with a series of linked stories, of which this is the first (the remainder are 'Exodus', 'Apocalypse' and 'Revelation' - the spelling improved as well as the stories!). Changing the medium of an established product is not the easiest thing to do, and sadly this novel is not a complete success.

Characterisation is a bit sparse and the plot derives to a large extent from the epic of Gilgamesh, the earliest known recorded story. Personally, I don't have too much time for stories which take an established legend and then try to explain it by inserting aliens. You may as well base your new story on an established one so that any number of your readers won't spot your source but those that do won't have any great possibility to be annoyed by your tampering.

John Peel is quite capable of producing good books, but also he can gives us real clangers. This one falls into the latter category.

Great Cook Book.......2007-02-15

I love to cook. Over the years I have collected a large number of cookbooks of all varieties. I am also of Italian decent so naturally I am somewhat biased with regards to Italian cookbooks. I owned a copy of this book for years and I used it so often that it literally fell apart so I purchased another copy. The recipes in this book are extremely easy to follow and Dom Deluise fills the book with humorous stories that any Italian can relate to. The meals I have cooked bring back memories of eating at my grandparents home and the taste is almost identical to the way my grandmother made them. I thought those meals would be lost forever when they died but thanks to Dom, I can re-create them in my own home and my children can carry on the tradition. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to cook and eat great southern Italian food.

the easiest and by far the best italian cookbook ever .......2005-10-26

I lived with a very Italian aunt who made the best food, and for so many years I assumed that these recipes- lental soup, pasta fagioule, eggs with tomato sauce, pasta primavera etc were from hand me down recipes. To my surprise, after inquiring about how to make "her tuna fingers," she handed me this book. It blew me away how simple and easy the recipes were. Really good Italian food! Its a shame that I bought so many Italian cookbooks trying to perfect these dishes when they were all right here. Dom Deluise adds personal stories which are a little sappy but still entertaining as well. It gives you something to read while your cooking dinner. Enjoy

My mom bought this book when it first came out in the late 80s. This was probably the first cookbook I ever looked at. I loved the stories and started trying out the recipes when I was about 11 or 12. Throughout the years the book has lost a few pages, gained quite a few smudges, and has literally broken in half, but it's still my favorite cookbook. In fact, I like to think it is this book that ultimately inspired me to go to Italy to attend culinary school. I'm now moving into my very first apartment and am ordering another copy of it (don't want to take my mom's) so that I can have it with me...even though I've pretty much memorized it. I know I'll be using this book my whole life.

I am the queen of counting calories and this book is #1! I have tried several of the recipes (including desserts) and it is phenomenal how good the food tastes.

I highly recommend the Sweet Onion Burgers (I use turkey), Chicken with Basil Cream Sauce, Tilapia with Chili Cream Sauce, and the Mocha Cake! Delicious!

Spiral binding makes the book hard to use.......2006-08-04

The book is spiral bound, and while it allows the book to lie flat on a countertop, the pages don't turn easily. I think the problem is that the spiral binder is too small for the book. The pages don't have much "breathing room" as you turn them so it makes browsing the book difficult. The binding isn't an issue if you will find the recipe you're looking for and turn to that page. Aside from the binding issue, the production is top quality. The entire book is color on glossy paper, and you'll find alluring photos of every recipe.

I have read dieter cookbooks that seem to be regular cookbooks with traditional recipes that have been modified. I wouldn't put this one into that category. It's organized just like a cookbook, as the chapters are based on the type of food used in the recipes. However, I would classify the recipes as new and innovative ideas. While there are some basic, traditional recipes, it's more common that you'll find new recipes that you've never seen before which pair healthy foods, for example, Cranberry Grilled Chicken, Veal with Orange Sauce, Pineapple Pork Roast, Gazpacho Sandwiches, Blood Orange Sherbet, Green Tea and Tangerine Sorbet, Peach-Coconut Mousse, and Orange-Blueberry Angel Food Cake.

One of the best parts of the book is its introduction, which tells you how to calculate your calorie needs, provides a sample menu plan with variations for different calorie amounts, reviews the components of a healthy diet, and emphasizes the importance of exercise.

In my collection of cookbooks, it won't be my go-to book. But when I am looking for new ideas, it will provide me with tons of them to help me add flair to the foods I prepare most often.

First of all, I love this cookbook!! I own more than 10 diet/light/low-carb cookbooks, and this is the only one that all the recipes I've tried from haven't let me down. I love the layout as well; every recipe has a picture making it easy to choose a dish I'd like to try that day.

That being said, I regret that I bought a spiral-bound edition. I chose this one, because it was cheaper. And of course, it turned out that there's a reason for that; The book is quite thick while spirals are very tight, making it very hard to turn pages completely. So, some pages were torn off the comb as I flip though the pages very often to choose a recipe of a day.

This is a great cookbook. If I were you, I'd pay a few bucks more now and get a better quality version that would last longer. (like a ring bound or a paperback version? I don't know which one would be better since I haven't tried other editions. But at least I can tell you that spiral-bound is not very sturdy.)

Happy cooking! =)

Excellent reference book.......2002-01-04

This book is an excellent reference source for working in papier mache and paper clay. The photos and instructions are very detailed. I have recommended this book many times and bought it as a gift. Beautiful photos and lots of inspiration.

FABULOUS, GREAT INSTRUCTIONS!!!!.......2001-08-03

DOLLMAKING WITH PAPIER MACHE & PAPER CLAY HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY IDEA OF HOW TO BOOKS. THIS BOOK IS NOT ONLY HOW TO MAKE DOLL CRAFTS, BUT HAS OTHER BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS TO MAKE; SUCH AS A LARGE 26" RABBIT & AN ADORABLE GOAT.COMPLETE,EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN. I LOVE THIS BOOK.

a delightful and long awaited dollmaking book!.......2001-07-31

This book is illustrated with many magnificent and easily followed directions. You can really make a doll that is more meaningful then all others because you have made it with your own hands. The authors step by step instructions are so simple to follow! Your finished product is your own masterpiece, thanks to Doris. Bravo, Doris.

Okay for Paper MacHe.......2001-07-22

I'm not really interested in Paper MacHe but I've been a dollmaker for quite some time and am very interested in learning more about Paperclay. There is another book that is supposedly the best for Paperclay - "Sculpting Doll in Paperclay" by Robert McKinley but it's sold out and difficult to find - so I opted for this one. I found this book to be fairly similar in techinique to many other dollmaking books in other media. There wasn't all that much that made it stand apart. I guess if you're very interested in Paper MacHe, then this is the book for you. If you're wanting to learn more about Paperclay techniques, skip this book and look for the one by McKinley instead.

Great for the beginner, enough technical, great instructions.......1999-09-06

I am new to doll-making but not paper mache. I found I was moving to dolls and came across this book. It's very good technically and the photos are excellent. The methods are great and well thought out and explained. I have just begun playing with the paper clay product and this gives it a good testimonial. Good job! Also, Ms. Gottilly's dolls are fabulous!

Book Description

Yasmina Reza is best known as the author of the immensely successful Tony award-winning play Art. Her latest work, Hammerklavier, is a bittersweet collection of autobiographical sketches that have love, loss, and the relentless passage of time as their themes. Convinced that one's deepest thoughts can be said simply, Reza does so with unequaled humor and perceptiveness. She contemplates evanescence and death in her young daughter's toothless smile, secretly mourning that it will inevitably change. In the title story, the sometimes adversarial but very loving relationship Reza shared with her father is examined in terms of their love of music.

Simplicity concealing profundity.......2000-12-23

I'm only familiar with the French original, so I cannot comment on how, or indeed whether, the translation has caught Reza's tone. The original is stunningly spare and simple in its prose, like Beckett or Pinter but without even their levels of affectation. Yet each sentence glistens. Passing moments, events, sounds, emotions are caught with precision and soul. The microtomed slices of life thus presented accumulate somehow into a profound, deeply moving, yet unsentimental esthetic whole. With this work, Reza reveals yet another dimension to her very considerable Art.
