5 | Revised Opinion | I was terribly wrong when I gave a bad review to this author's Mahu Fire and demeaned his talent. Since that time I have read this novel along with Mahu Surfer and Mahu Vice. Mr. Plakey is a fine writer and I regret I ever thought otherwise. Perhaps it was coming into the middle of the series. Perhaps things were not g... | [] | 1593500823 | 1593500823 | AEIMCM3JZE2W2JLDQJQFGSNSUQ7Q | 1,293,750,737,000 | 1 | true |
1 | Solution Obvious to All But the Dumb Detective | Having thoroughly enjoyed Greg Herren's BOURBON STREET BLUES and JACKSON SQUARE JAZZ I was really looking forward to this one. It was a colossal disappointment to say the least. Whereas the other two were light and witty and the hero was charming, this book was dark and depressing and the hero was an egoistic, jealous,... | [] | 1555838170 | 1555838170 | AEIMCM3JZE2W2JLDQJQFGSNSUQ7Q | 1,136,049,067,000 | 2 | false |
5 | Delightful, Delovely, Delicious | Ah, what a great business prostitution is! You've got it. You sell it. You've still got it. Chris Kenry has it, too. What an incredible first novel. The clever plot, the memorable characters, and the witty tone would seem to be the work of an established professional writer.

4 | Clever and witty--a true delight! | A most enjoyable book that will make you laugh and keep you as engrossed as any thriller. The characters are well drawn. The plot is very original. The writing smooth, concise, and witty. It is what is termed "beach reading", yes. But I think it would be extremely dangerous to read this one at the beach.

1 | Who Dunnit? Who Cares? Miserable Mystery | This is most definitely the worst mystery novel I have ever read. The characters are not two-dimentional--but one-dimentional. You will not care about anyone. There is also too much padding of incidental material, and enough red herrings to stock a Shanghai fish market. Though the lead character is supposedly gay, ther... | [] | 0312198639 | 0312198639 | AEIMCM3JZE2W2JLDQJQFGSNSUQ7Q | 1,042,235,132,000 | 3 | true |
3 | Pleasant but ultimately disappointing! | I found the book to be a diverting read, but ultimately disappointing. Character development was lacking. The characters were created so shallowly that I never really got to know any of them, and I wanted to, especially since the narrator (at least to the extent we got hints as to his character) did not seem to be like... | [] | 1575667665 | 1575667665 | AEIMCM3JZE2W2JLDQJQFGSNSUQ7Q | 1,037,998,858,000 | 1 | false |
5 | The Best Modern Novel I've Read in Years | The first novel was Samuel Richardson's PAMELA. It told its story in letters that were exchanged among the participants. Jamie James has updated this technique by having the characters correspond via email. The difficulty with this "gimmick" is that the author must create a different syle for each of the correspondants... | [] | 0758201060 | 0758201060 | AEIMCM3JZE2W2JLDQJQFGSNSUQ7Q | 1,014,165,117,000 | 9 | false |
3 | A Mystery Novel, It Ain't. A Fun Read, It Is. | The book, which purports to be a mystery novel, fails abysmally on that level. (How can one guess the murderer when we only meet him/her when he is revealed???) But as a witty diversion, the book is a fun read. Michael is a wonderful character among more or less stereo-typical denizens. But he is enough to carry the bo... | [] | 0758200382 | 0758200382 | AEIMCM3JZE2W2JLDQJQFGSNSUQ7Q | 1,011,561,931,000 | 2 | true |

The layout is typical for texts, and the bottom line is that this one focuses on social workers actually practicing a... | [] | 1483374475 | 1483374475 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,503,601,350,803 | 0 | false |
3 | Not a good choice for those with little statistical background | This book on statistics is way beyond me. I find it rather intimidating since I am not statistically literate. After scanning the chapters, I decided to close the book and wait until I have more patience. | [] | 1119075823 | 1119075823 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,503,600,797,612 | 0 | false |
4 | Good read for fans and others | I don't read many memoirs but was curious about this one, particularly since a bonus CD was included. Of course, I listened to the music as I read because that just seems like the obvious thing to do. Mr. Oates autobiography is well done, entertaining and revelatory. I must admit that I care for him more after readi... | [] | 125008265X | 125008265X | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,503,600,263,078 | 0 | false |
2 | My interest died | I could barely get through this one, so I did not. I'm interested in marketing and advertising, just found the style to be drawn out and not compelling enough to keep me reading. | [] | 0399588515 | 0399588515 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,503,599,841,641 | 0 | false |

5 | Savor each | Perhaps not for every reader, James Merrill has impressed me over the years. Everyman's Library has published this little collection that fits nicely into a bag, quick to pull out for a poem or two. It's a good selection. | [] | 1101907851 | 1101907851 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,503,599,380,042 | 0 | false |
4 | Russia, Russia, Russia | Fortunately for me, a cast of characters aided my following October. I am not versed in Russian history but was curious about this book because I have enjoyed Mieville's writing. It is hard for me to evaluate this because it is very different from what I normally read. | [] | 1784782777 | 1784782777 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,503,599,060,477 | 0 | false |
4 | You will enjoy the film even more after reading this book | You need not see the film, but you really need to if you are interested in reading this book. Full of historical tidbits, some are surprising, others are not, but as a whole, this is a good read for those who are curious about filmmaking and the process by which films are made. Of course, we had to watch the film aga... | [] | 1594206716 | 1594206716 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,503,598,597,266 | 0 | false |
2 | Errors? | It's always interesting to see what is current in the medical field. I've not been in involved in health care for several years, but like to refresh my knowledge base and since the Paramedic profession is geared to acute care, I was interested in this Kaplan examination preparatory book. I found it laid out similarly... | [] | 1506212840 | 1506212840 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,503,511,794,952 | 0 | false |

The stories are not only informative, but entertaining, particularly when read outdoors with the background of birds chirping. | [] | 0812993535 | 0812993535 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,503,511,420,536 | 0 | false |
5 | Impressive new PI | Sunday Night is more like Stephanie Plum or Kinsey Millhone than Temperance Brennan, not only because they are PI's and not forensic anthropologists, but because of her self-deprecating yet strong character. As in the Brennan series, Kathy Reichs has a way with words that consistently surprised me, so much that I paus... | [] | 0345544072 | 0345544072 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,499,788,300,016 | 0 | false |
5 | Anthology which made me check my passport | There is something special about this series. The stories are well put together, this one is an anthology of Roman tales, written by a vast assortment of international authors from various eras. If you don't enjoy one, skip it and select another. What makes it a pleasure to read is the physical format of the books.

5 | Most enjoyable read in a long time | This is one heck of a terrific character driven novel. More than a coming of age story, it's a delicious introduction to a family and cast of characters, each with some likable characteristics, or at least entertaining dynamics. (I still don't like the twins.) We may think the mother/daughter relationship is the centra... | [] | 0399562095 | 0399562095 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,497,132,670,000 | 0 | false |
5 | If you can't hook it yourself, prepare for higher prices | Years ago, while traveling through Alaska, we pulled off the road at the first "Copper River" signpost. We scurried down to the water, stood on the edge and waited for the salmon. The month was July and we waited for awhile before returning to the car and continuing on our journey, having seen no salmon.

5 | Joyous reading experience | I've taken this book with me to a couple of public places to read as I enjoyed coffee for a couple hours at a time and both times, adjacent customers asked what I was reading because I would chuckle aloud. I can honestly say that reading Wild Things: The Joy of Reading Children's Literature as an Adult by Bruce Handy ... | [] | 1451609957 | 1451609957 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,496,535,825,000 | 25 | false |
5 | Fair representation of firefighters | I first saw a DK truck wheelie book in the hands of my nephew, and immediately knew I had to purchase this Fire Truck version for our little fire engine lover.

3 | Use student resources to get the most out of the little book | I have the spiral bound version of the notes and find that the spiral binding is the weakness due to the inability to flip the pages back properly. When referencing a page, I have to keep the book opened or suffer with a gap of about a half inch where the plastic spiral sticks out. I haven't seen the previous editio... | [] | 0803660456 | 0803660456 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,495,726,599,000 | 0 | false |
5 | Fruits and vegetables taken to higher level than standard smoothies | As a fan of Vikas Khanna, I was very pleased to get his new book. Now it's important to know that I prefer my alcohol to be high quality and simple, usually with a couple of ice cubes, perhaps with bitters, gigantic olives or a Luxardo cherry. This glorious book contains beautiful photos of alcohol free concoctions tha... | [] | 1465456988 | 1465456988 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,494,594,132,000 | 0 | false |
3 | Like a magazine series | The story of Amy Thielen started off as an interesting and well written autobiography that sparked my interest. I spent a couple of hours reading it in a local cafe, impressed by her ability at description. This is not groundbreaking, may a woman's personal development, drawing upon her family and quest. I then forgot ... | [] | 0307954900 | 0307954900 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,494,590,987,000 | 1 | false |
5 | Times of uncertainty | Look at the cover to see an adequate depiction of the art on each page of this little book. It looks inviting, earthy, simple in shapes and colors. It's like a rich watercolor. The text may be disturbing to those who attempt to ignore the reality of our world, the visuals of destruction which is much different than mag... | [] | 161332023X | 161332023X | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,494,014,623,000 | 0 | false |
4 | Use all the resources | The book is pretty good, but I think this is best used in conjunction with the online tools available for those intending to take the test for certification as a LPN or LVN. You've studied, you've trained, you're getting nervous, so you want to do whatever you can to assure that you pass the test with as little stress... | [] | 1506208487 | 1506208487 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,493,234,226,000 | 1 | false |
5 | Sturdy pages become booklets | When we initially used this book, the students were quite excited in their desire to separate the heavy laminated pages into individual booklets. As described, there are six copies of six reading selections in addition to the teacher's resource materials for discussions, expectations and guides which can be photocopie... | [] | 1483836053 | 1483836053 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,492,953,368,000 | 0 | false |
4 | Invest a week and pay attention to your reactions | Ms. Metsovas has a style of writing that is easy to read, informative, interesting, and it makes sense. She encourages readers to take gut tests in order to determine the health of your own innards, suggests you perform a six day detox of the "land" or "sea" variety, then basically eat local foods, foc... | [] | 0553496468 | 0553496468 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,492,016,287,000 | 5 | false |
5 | Coal is on Page 142, Carbon | The Smithsonian produces high quality publications with luxurious photographs, particularly when they are manufactured by DK.

3 | Deception or kindness? | The book is dark, darker than is comfortable for a toddler or youngster to appreciate. Dark and dreamy, but it was hard for him to concentrate. What was funny was that he really liked the feel of the stone paper which is tree, water and bleach free. As far as the story is concerned,l it was not easy for him to follo... | [] | 8416147981 | 8416147981 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,491,757,179,000 | 3 | false |
5 | Amusing little book | I love the little diagrams in this adorable book. The market is sort of questionable, because it's not truly a how to for everyone, yet it is a potential addition to a culinary gift basket for a novice.

4 | Something to think about | Alan Bell and I grew up in the same area, so the first chapters of his memoir, Poisoned, triggered memories of my youth. Our paths may have even crossed at a high school football game on one or more occasion. To my knowledge, I don't know Mr. Bell, but I am confident that we would be friends were we to meet today.

4 | Excellent source of information | It's no wonder that the topic of sleep and more specifically, disruption of sleep is experiencing a surge of interest.

4 | Successful analysis is explained clearly | With a title of, The Poetry of Pop, it's understandable that a person who once wrote a well regarded college thesis entitled, The Art of Bob Dylan, would be attracted.

5 | Thought provoking | Being a detail oriented person who is interested in Philosophy, Religion and Sociology, I appreciate the writing style of Amos Oz.

4 | Don't ignore the online supplements | For current psych nurses or those studying for a career in psychiatric nursing, this book is a terrific resource which offers more than the printed pages of the book.

3 | Simple, yes, in approach | Mr. Mallet is a photographer first, a cookbook author second in my opinion.
