Book Description
In the wake of the World Trade Center bombing, New York City is ground zero for an intricate web of betrayals and double-crosses in the shadowy world of Muslim radicals.Sami Amir arrives in Brooklyn via Iran, and into a world of militants, arms suppliers, and spies. Unsure of his true purpose, he is sent to New York to investigate rumored terrorist plots that are to culminate with further violence around Christmas and New Years, two weeks away.

Sami Amir, the protagonist of Salar Abdoh's debut novel, The Poet Game, is hardly your run-of-the-mill spook. The son of an American mother and an unknown Iranian father, raised in a Catholic orphanage outside of Tehran, and fluent in English, he has, until recently, made his living as a translator for an operation known as "the Office." Sami's employer is an ultrasecret organization that monitors the actions of the Iranian military and intelligence services in an effort to undercut the influence of hard-line Islamic extremists in the government. To this end, it has sent Sami into the field--to New York, in fact--to thwart an act of terrorism.
Pretending to be an operative for an organization known as Section 19, our man from Tehran must infiltrate a bizarre world of Islamic militants, mad-bomber wannabes, reluctant middlemen, and one or two guys who might even be the real deal. Between the Libyans, Palestinians, Pakistanis, and odd-ball American black Moslems, it's getting hard to keep track of the players--and their differing agendas--without a scorecard. Then Sami's contact from the Office shows up and confuses matters even more. An American, a woman, a poet and part-time stripper--and possibly a double agent--Ellena is not what he was expecting. As Sami penetrates deeper into the labyrinthine world of Middle Eastern politics, he is also drawn reluctantly into a love affair with her--a relationship he characterizes as "two failed poets trying to get it right in the wrong trade."
Salar Abdoh is aiming high with The Poet Game--a spy story that is more than just a thriller, a noir novel that transcends pulp fiction. If, at times, the plot becomes overly convoluted and suffers from one double-double-cross too many, Abdoh's elegant prose and deft characterization make up for it. Sami might be a failed poet, but he is no romantic when it comes to his profession: "For what was any of this but another means of making a living--no different really than performing open-heart surgery or collecting garbage at night." And in the end, it is this sad, clear-eyed vision of himself and his world that makes Sami Amir's fate worth caring about. --Sheila Bright

Not a page-turning story of intrigue and drama..........2005-10-28
Abdoh, born in Iran and now teaching English at the City College of New York, has written what may be the first-ever novel about militant Islamic terrorism in the United States. Unexpectedly, perhaps, this is not a page-turning story of intrigue and drama, but a roman noir full of layers of complication and brooding introspection.
The plot: Sami is dispatched by a super-secret intelligence agency in Iran to New York to infiltrate the terrorist rings in America. His purpose - and here begins the noir part - is not to help them attack U.S. targets but to prevent them from doing so. His agency has determined that if bombs go off in Manhattan, the U.S. forces will be patrolling the Persian Gulf and making life difficult for the Islamic Republic of Iran, so those bombs must be stopped. Sami presents himself as a terrorist and gets caught up in confusing rings of Iranian, Arab, and American agents. Trouble is, his confusion rapidly becomes the reader's too and it quickly becomes overly-burdensome to follow who is who and working for whom in Abdoh's shadowy world, especially as it does not seem all that serious. Guns go off and lives are lost, but it is more surreal than horrifying (Sami's ally was "as unfazed by his goon's dying as if the man had been lying there in his own pool blood for recreation").
There is another problem with Abdoh's story: as he understands it, the motive force for terrorism on U.S. soil comes from countries like Iran and Libya, ignoring the important development that this violence now derives primarily from American-based sources, not foreign ones. So the story is not just hard to follow, but it does not correspond all that well to reality. In all then, though sophisticated and competently written, The Poet Game is neither a page-turner nor an insight into Islamist violence in America.
Decent debut novel.........2004-04-30
In the current climate of concern about Terrorism, Abdoh's 2001 book almost seems prophetic. Basically, a Iranian counter-terrorism agent goes to New York to investigate a conspiracy. Double-crosses and triple-crosses soon come, and Sami is in a game where rival Iranian originzations use him to further their own power. The ending was a bit of a let-down, which is why I wouldn't recommend this book.
WOW.......2002-06-28
I will say this book is non stop, and most of all very fun. It can be a little complex, but very non stop where Iwill admit I did not put the book down at all.
Good Job
Impossible to put down.......2002-01-31
The best books in any genre, I think, are those written quietly and without too much fanfare. They don't have to run into several hundred pages to convey the plot and its consequences. I found the Poet Game one of the smartest reads of any genre. The writer's atmospherics were intimate and immediate. The action was not forced. The psychological rendering had depth and made for a sympathetic protagonist who was left with hard choices in a hard business that he somehow had fallen into, almost against his will. I think the Poet Game will ultimately be remembered for its language, however. It's simply one of the best written thrillers I've ever read. The writing itself seemed to belong to that of a consummate poet. Fine job. Waiting for a follow-up.
Humorous and intriguing, just a tad flawed.......2001-11-24
I loved most things about it - the humor, the suspense, the raw energy. The only flaws I saw were that the supposed pre-climax (which I argue should truly have been THE climax) was the death of a key individual, and the main character should have been responsible for it or had proof of its happening. The uncertainty was annoying. The ending seemed cliche and actually silly. This said, I'm not a spy genre connoisseur, so maybe I'm not getting it for that reason.

Elementary, my dear Benny.......2002-12-29
What an idea. Putting Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and chunks of the Lovecraft universe into a Doctor Who book is a concept that seems ripe for disaster. Too many incompatibilities, too many elements to draw on, and a question of where the focus should be. And yet ALL-CONSUMING FIRE manages to be one of my favorite NAs despite the handful of minor flaws that appear. Holmes and Watson are effortlessly inserted into an imaginative Doctor Who story, giving the book a unique flavor. It's a dark and occasionally grim story, but strangely enough it somehow succeeds at being a whole lot of fun.
The tale starts in typical Holmesian fashion. During the beginning, Watson gets to play second fiddle while Holmes makes several detailed (though irrelevant) observations and deductions purely to demonstrate how clever he is. This sort of thing will be very familiar to fans of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Their involvement in this case begins with an important client hiring them to discover the whereabouts of several books that have been stolen from a strange and secretive library. During the course of their investigation, their travels intersect with the path of that mysterious and eccentric gentleman -- the Doctor (portrayed here as alternatively goofy and cynical). The two fictional juggernauts actually interact quite well. I was hugely entertained by their initial meetings; there's a very amusing sequence in which Holmes is totally unable to determine much of the Doctor's origins from telltale bits of dust and dirt. What could have gone so poorly ends up feeling really right.
The trail leads them first to India, and then to an alien world known as Ry'leh. The reactions of the two Victorians as their surroundings become more and more bizarre are handled realistically (or as realistically as possible) without being over the top. The conclusion to the story is satisfying, though the book suffers from having a beginning that is so wonderful that even an extraordinary ending would seem vaguely inadequate.
The story is told primarily from the journals/diaries of Dr. John Watson and Professor Bernice Summerfield. Andy Lane is excellent at recreating Arthur Conan Doyle's prose style without appearing to be doing a mere cut'n'paste job. The process of the investigation of missing books is very much in keeping with the flavor of the Holmes stories. The Library of St. John The Beheaded is a fantastic creation, and its description is pure Holmesian. A wonderful combination of concepts and prose.
The Lovecraftian additions near the conclusion are not quite as well handled as the Holmes portions. I am, of course, not the first reviewer to note this, and I'm afraid that I cannot break with conventional thinking here. Lovecraft succeeded by keeping his baddies just out of the corner of one's eye, where one wasn't quite sure what was there or what was going on. While this story does eventually come up with a good reason why it's breaking with the formula, the explanation doesn't make up for the fact that it simply isn't executed as pleasingly. This portion at times seems as if it was hastily bolted on to the main plot. Apart from some fairly superficial name-checks, the Lovecraft villains could have been almost any great evil.
The first time I read this book, I did feel that Holmes was horribly underused during the later series of events. While rereading the story, I was mentally prepared for this, and to my surprise, Lane didn't quite sideline Holmes as much as I had remembered. The great detective certainly doesn't have the same forceful impact on the story that he does in the beginning, but my memory had only retained the portions dealing with his shock and bewilderment. There are in fact several moments where Holmes does arrive at plot-advancing conclusions despite his unfamiliarity with the environment. On the other hand, Benny does seem to enjoy taking the mickey out of the famous sleuth at times and while those who take the detective very seriously may not be entirely pleased with that approach, I couldn't help but giggle. A slight mocking of Sherlock Holmes, perhaps, but one that allows him to come through the story with his dignity intact.
There are just too many little things that the book does well to mention them all. I was greatly amused by Watson's infatuation with Benny, perfectly in keeping with his enchantment for seemingly all of his female clients. The descriptions of the Holmes style of Victorian London are excellent. The delightful puns and jokes in the chapter titles are delightful, and had me flipping back to the beginning of the chapter after I had read it in order to get the joke. Too many fun things to recommend about this one.
Doctor Who & Sherlock Holmes vs. the Cthulhu Mythos.......1999-06-03
As a fan and writer of Lovecraftian fiction as well as a Sherlock Holes fan (not to mention one of Doctor Who), I was very pleased with this novel. The author was well versed on the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and it sounds exactly like one of Watson's writings. Of course the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Benny are themselves and they team up very well with Holmes and Watson. My only grip is that Azathoth (who is supposed to be "the blind idiot god at the center of chaos" seemed too intellegent to me. But, hey it's no worse than what August Derleth did to the Mythos. A superb novel and shows that a literary crossover can't always be bad.
Time consuming!.......1999-04-21
I feel I must comment upon possibly the best book Andy Lane has ever written. This novel proved to be a wonderful narrative, told expertly from the viewpoint of Dr. Watson. The idea of the Great Detective having actually existed, and entered into such an adventure was awe-inspiring. Quite how Mr. Mobile could even begin to call this book Tripe is beyond my comprehension. The fate of Mrs. Prendersley should fall upon Mr. Mobile as soon as is humanly possible. Full Marks to Andy Lane, and I hope to see more of this sort of work again!
I Burned my Copy.......1999-04-11
Stated off bearable and made it to the latter stages of the book before I thought about burning it. Once they go to India following the mysterious 'cult', it becomes a load of tripe. Unoriginal, uninteesting, and uninspired. And, what happened to the SCIENCE? I remember when Dcotor Who was SCIENCE FICTION. Now, they have characters muttering magic words to make things happen! Give me a break, I like SCIENCE in my SCIENCE FICTION. Also, it is a disgrace what they have done to a fine character like Ace in the NAs. Some really bad lines in here as well. I also wonder why the NA authors find it necessary to put silly references to modern culture in these books by mentioning Sonic the Hedgehog and Blue Peter to name a couple. Tripe.

North Africa is the home to one of the world's great cuisines. Redolent of saffron, cumin and cilantro, Moroccan cooking can be as elegant or as down-home hearty as you want it to be. In Couscous and Other Good Food from Morocco, author Paula Wolfert has collected delectable recipes that embody the essence of the cuisine. From Morocco's national dish, couscous (for which Wolfert includes more than 20 different recipes), to delicacies such as Bisteeya (a pigeon pie made with filo, eggs, and raisins among other ingredients), Wolfert describes both the background of each recipe and the best way to prepare it. As if the mouthwatering recipes weren't enough, each chapter includes some aspect of Moroccan culture or history, be it an account of Moroccan moussems, or festivals, or a description of souks, or markets. Just reading the recipes will be enough to induce ravenous hunger even on a full stomach. Once you've tried the Chicken Tagine with Prunes and Almonds, or the Seared Lamb Kebabs Cooked in Butter, Paula Wolfert's Couscous and Other Good Foods from Morocco will become a well-worn title on your cookbook shelf.
Book Description
Since it was first published in 1973, Couscous and Other Good Food from Morocco has established itself as the classic work on one of the world's great cuisines. From the magnificent bisteeyas (enormous, delicate pies composed of tissue-thin, buttery layers of pastry and various fillings) to endless varieties of couscous, Paula Wolfert reveals not only the riches of the Moroccan kitchen but also the variety and flavor of the country itself. With its outstanding recipes, meticulous and loving research, and keen commitment to the traditions of its subject, this is one of the rare cookbooks that are as valuable for their good reading as for their inspired food.
Customer Reviews:
food lover.......2007-09-24
I purchased this cookbook in 1977 when I married my first husband, a Moroccan. While the marriage failed, this cookbook never did. I love it and consider it one of my favorites and still use it to wow family and friends.
Moroccan Wife..........2007-09-08
I have enjoyed this cookbook very much. My Moroccan husband has liked everything I have cooked using the receipes from this book. I only rated it a 4 because some of the instructions are not clear. I would love it if the author would update it.
Good Buy.......2007-07-14
There is so much more than recipes! Learn much about the culture. Great read!
Not a cookbook...............2007-06-10
This is a lot of things, but it is not a cookbook. The recipes are listed by local names and have little or any organization. I felt like I spent more time looking up what the words meant so often that I felt the book was written in Moroccan. There were a very few line drawings and no pictures of finished dishes. This book is not about couscous, it is about just about every other dish served in Morocco.
My daughter loves couscous and I bought this book hoping to find some good dishes that she would enjoy. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If you are looking of a compendium of Moroccan food and have time to sit and read this book from cover to cover, then this is your book. If you want something helpful in the kitchen, save you money.
This book was a total disappointment to me and I am amazed that it is even given cookbook status.
This is an awesome cookbook..........2007-01-19
clear, coherent, easily followed recipes.. Preserved lemons are the best...I have given this as a present sooo many times, I can't say....this is EXCELLENT FOOD!!!
Product Description
On Talking Terms with Dogs second edition with three additional chapters, color photos and descriptive captions. Turid Rugaas is a noted expert on canine body language, notably "calming signals" which are signals dogs give to other dogs and humans to denote stress and to attempt defuse situations that otherwise might result in fights or aggression. Written in practical, down-to-earth, logical language.
Customer Reviews:
30?.......2007-09-30
The signals are interesting and the pictures illustrate the behaviors well, but the book as a whole is poorly organized and provides very little context. The sections just seem to bump into one another. Almost all of the signals are described as having the same effect or purpose. To be fair I suppose that's the point of the book: calming. But really that's just too thin a topic without going into more detail on each behavior. There must be some difference between licking and curving, for example. What is it? I believe she also claims there are 30 signals, but only discusses about 13.
No dog owner should be without it.......2007-09-28
Turid Rugaas has done a great service for dog owners, and students of dog behavior ... and especially for the dogs themselves. Can you imagine being able to tell what your dog is feeling, and when he is becoming uncomfortable, at a glance? With "Calming Signals", you can do just that. You'll have a clear and concise guide to canine body language that will always give you an edge to helping your dog move though life with clear communication and canine comfort.
Do you think that a dog licking his lips must be hungry? Or that he's always happy when he wags his tail? Or averting his eyes and refusing to meet your or another dog's gaze is a sign of shyness? Think again, and pick up a copy of this book!
It's a brief text, which takes no more than a few hours to read, but will give back a lifetime of understanding between you and your canine friend. "On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals" is a title that should be found on every dog lover's bookshelf.
Interesting but useless, from a practical sense.......2007-09-20
Interesting to understand dog behavior BUT she doesn't explain how to apply it to teaching your dog, she only explains how to watch for signs that you are overwhelming your dog. My dog ignores my yawning, licking, blinking and looking to the side. I guess if a strange dog attacks me I know to sit down with my back to it (yeah, sure). I'd love to attend her classes but this book is NOT worth owning. Borrow it and read it.
Extremely useful Information.......2007-08-27
I have a couple of unusual dogs-one horrifically abused and the other feral. The clear photos and simple text made reading their "dog language" very easy. I've had dogs all my life and I learned a lot from this little book.
Newbie interest only..........2007-08-08
A tiny book and you may feel disappointed over the cost for that volume. I don't believe that the purpose of the book was truly reached because it wasn't explained from the start. It meanders over the different physical cues that dogs use with each other in order to calm other dogs. It suggests if you watch for these cues and perhaps mimic them that you too will be able to communicate the need for a calm behavior from the dog. I suppose if someone were completely new to observing animals and humans that this could be considered inspirational. But I don't find that many people who are so inclined to learn more about communication between species will be greatly rewarded.
Book Description
The finest North American Indian artifacts were made of organic materials, and luckily many survive. Materials used include the most common, bone, plus antler, shell, fur, ivory, and horn. Artifact classes range from projectile points and awls to fishhooks, gorgets, beads, and more. Collectors today value such pieces because of their artistic beauty and rarity. Most of them were destroyed by natural processes over the centuries, so those that remain are treasured. Lar Hothem, author of the bestselling five-volume series Indian Artifacts of the Midwest, has once again produced a fantastic book for Indian artifacts collectors. Each artifact includes information on type or class, material, size, find-location, and (in most cases) an estimated value. Background information is included about these artifacts, including finds made throughout North America. Advertisements from early dealers are listed, as well as recent auction results. This book opens the window to a fascinating world of study and collecting.

GOOD BOOK THAT SKIPS SOME KEY DETAILS.......1999-11-19
Michael Redgrave's son tries to tell his father's story honestly, and does a fine job--as far as he goes. I wanted to know more about THE QUIET AMERICAN, Redgrave's movie filmed in Vietnam--but Corin skips it completely. But I did find a great book called A THINKER'S DAMN that tells Redgrave's bitter story in full detail. If you want to know the real Michael Redgrave, you need to read this book by William Russo.
