Humorous, transcends time
One of the wittiest books I’ve read. Can’t believe I didn’t pick this up until my 40s.

Enjoyable read
At times, I wish the book focused more on some of the races/characters in which this other world consisted of but, overall, another good, “dark” read by Gaiman.

Must have for Gaiman fans
I think I enjoy Gaiman’s short stories more than his novels. Though I found this collection to be less “dark” than previous ones, I nonetheless still enjoyed it immensely.

At first, I couldn’t get thru the book. However, went back to it and was pleasantly surprised. Not as good as anansi boys or the graveyard book, but still good.

Meh...same stuff
Drizzt novels are getting old, sad to say. Nothing original, no depth to characters anymore, no obstacle they can’t overcome...no point if plot armor is always available.

I think this is one of Neil Gaiman’s best books. This is actually my second purchase of the same book, as the first copy fell apart (no fault of Amazon).

Solid read, 4 stars
Hmmm, it’s odd to write a review for this book. The stories ranged from fascinating to, well, boring. It really shows Neil Gaiman’s diverse tastes in short stories. Due to the “strength” of the really good stories, I say the book is a solid 4 stars. I preferred the short story anthologies that gaiman wrote himself.

Great cook book
I am really excited about this cook book for one I like how this book offers a wide variety of recipes and there are a lot of recipes that take 30 minutes to cook which is great for work nights. Plus the recipes aren’t to crazy where my little guy can enjoy the healthy meals with us.

This book is PERFECT to be used as a quick morning, midday or nighttime devotional. The chapters are very short (1-2 pages) and the content is great for spending a few moments in reflection and prayer. Lucado does a wonderful job bringing scripture out and giving you things to reflect on. When you are pressed for ti...

Sorry, but this journal is lame and I am sending it back. If you make Thimbleberries patterns and want a journal that looks like it was born in the 80's, you might enjoy it. Not me. It's like an ad. Gone wrong. AND it's small.

I love the artists drawings, super cute. The paper is a bit on the thin side. My book came with something sticky on a good portion of the cover, and I've still not gotten it all off. It was a gift, so... I've colored part of two pages... we'll see if I go back to it.

Big pages, big value
I actually really like this textbook. Wish I had it when I studied for the MCAT since it explains things way better than the text my school used for anatomy. The loose leaf pages are great since I don’t have to lug around a whole book at a time - but the pages are huge!! Keep that in mind when you buy a binder.

It was ok, but no index, so hard to find specific recipes by key ingredients. And a fair number of recipes with ingredients that were challenging to find. I ultimately gave it away because I knew I wouldn’t use it.

Really great book for kids
Really great book for kids. Its a series that teaches kids about science, in a fun manner. My toddler adores this book, and I highly reccomend it. We read it at the library first, and she really wanted her own copy. This one teaches kids all about sound.

The past...as key to the present.

The making of an artist...
This is a wonderfully readable historical novel about the evolution of an amazing photographer, Lee Miller, through the crucible of Paris and Surrealism, and her relationship with Man Ray. Read this in conjunction with Antony Penrose’s “The Lives of Lee Miller” should you need the pictures that go with the words.

As a 67-year-old Jewish man who lived through the cold war and had a very good education, this novel struck a nerve, especially in light of what it shows of misplaced idealism, Soviet era inconsistency and cruelty, human goodness, and random acts of kindness and decency. Present political developments in this country m...

Beautifully written, and (hopefully) soon to be a major motion picture!
A wonderful tale of life, love, and technology set in the 1880s-90s, when Westinghouse (aided by Tesla) and Thomas Edison vied to electrify the United States with two opposing systems: alternating current (Westinghouse) and direct current (Westinghouse/Tesla).

There is a saying, drawn from the Talmud, that anonymous charity is the highest form of charity. This is a tale of a woman of the Lower a East Side of the early 20th century.
