Not worth it
The questions are not really helpful. Misty done in long drawn out question and answer rather than like quizlet format. Also not many seem to have Ben on the actual exam<br />Comes in page form so you have to break them all apart. Would not buy again

Not really about the death industry
More a “coming of age” story than a story about the death industry.

Cool pictures but not for writing on
Cool pictures of galaxy and moon. Calendar is black and hard to write on unless you have metallic sharpie. But writing glows in the dark for about 2 minutes

My 8 year olds favorite book. I did some price checking and amazon had the best deal on this. Honestly I was expecting some cheap thin magazine type book and to my surprise it it bigger, heavier and nicer than I expected. Happy with my purchase.

Its no Floating Twigs
I hated every single character in this book. Not one person had any redeeming qualities. In fact they didnt even have any believable qualities. Had read Floating Twigs by this author and loved it so much. I cant fathom the same author wrote these 2 books

Adorable Book!
This book is adorable. I purchased it as a gift as my sister in law is a llama lover. I'm sure she'll enjoy it a lot. I will probably buy a copy for myself and pick up all of Anne Dewdney's Llama Llama books to read to my son at night!

I get what other reviewers meant about the pips. I thought the major arcana and face cards were the only ones who were given characters.

An amazing tale of greed, sociopaths, and a man determined to save the innocent. Rosamilia creates a character that isn't just relatable but feel real.<br /><br />I'm a fan of this author's Dying Days series and was glad to see that same flowing style present in this book as well.

The book ia beautiful and I'm happy to give it as a gift to my friends mother who is visiting from another country. Beautiful photos.

Binding is a little weak but the book is fantastic!
My daughter LOVES this book and so do I! The pictures are great and it's very informative. But the pages did start to fall out of the binding about 2 weeks after purchase. The glue for the binding is pretty weak for a kids book. And my daughter treats books very well. Other than the binding, this book is fabulous!

What a great book! For those who enjoy historical non-fiction, this one is a surefire bet. This book was very well researched and put together.

This is a beautifully written, artful work. I found this to be the kind of story where your heart wrenches at the thought that things might not work out for the main characters.

fascinating to see this from the other side
It was really fascinating to think about German POW's in Britain. I tend to spend a lot of time reading WWII related material, and so I don't often think too much about what things look like from the other side, before the Germans really became famous as captors. This was an eye-opening, if at times a bit acerbic, acco...

Some very interesting stuff
This book was pretty good in the beginning and I was enjoying it, but it became rather dry toward the middle.

I should perhaps begin by saying that I didn't read the first book in this series, but that it didn't matter. I loved this book.

Great read for those who want the inside story
liked this book for its honesty. So often we get the overdramatised versions of real stories, where the producers and directors forget the actual human who lived through the events they are depicting. Books like this one are far more honest.<br /><br />Yes, I understand that memories are not infallible, but there are s...

Toward the beginning of this book, the author asks readers to keep an open mind whilst reading. You will have to if you are going to enjoy this.

I didn't think this was an awful book, but it doesn't contain a terrible lot of new information or ideas that have not already been expressed about Stalin.

A less well-known side of a well-known family
As a general rule, Erik Larson is one of my favourite authors, and this book is a good example of why.

I have been on a reading binge of Mark Edwards books for the last week or so, and I have to say, I was beginning to think everything he wrote was gold, until this book.

More romance than paranormal but good anyway
For the most part, I thought this was a really decent novel.

I would call this more of a romance with a bit of paranormal in the background than the other way around. Still, it w...
