Best kids book ever . It 's a classic for a reason ! My kids LOOOOVVE it . When we 're in the car my 3 year old says "Go dogs go ! The light is green ! " and when asked her opinion on something instead of saying yes or no she says "I do like it ! " or "I don 't like it ! " just like in the book . Haha . Its been fun and educational for them . If I only bought 5 books ever for my little kids , this would be one of them .

I found the oddest thing about this book was that its pace was so fast that a terrible tragedy could happen to a character and then a couple of paragraphs later s /he was over it and moving on with their lives . Because it covers a period of about 100 years , events are just skimmed over , characters are not developed and as a result , there 's very little emotional engagement with the story . I wouldn 't read another book by the same author based on this one . Having said that , its an easy read and enjoyable enough , just a bit empty and soulless .

The novel is ok but there is a lot of clichs ; the turn of "evil " guy behind it all suddenly developing a conscience seems a little too forced , just for the sake of the argument , as well as the keys figures that were the real power behind the evil bloodline are just flat characters , without any personality of their own . I found the computer nerd technology too much of hocus -pocus , the eternal ones an unsolved /unexplaind mystery , and the G -man a bit superman in excess . The reference to the Templars seems just a clich . But the novel serves its purpose well : it amuses and has enough Tech & SciFi to make it look updated (even if it is not ) .

I have read the first three of the Ramage novels and I find the books to be excellent . The stories are well written and enjoyable . Pope is obviously well versed in his subject and conveys that knowledge well . In my view , the Ramage stories are on a par with the Hornblower and the Bolitho series , in fact I personally find Pope 's books to be more entertaining than the Bolitho series of Alexander Kent . I did enjoy Kent 's stories , but I like Pope 's stories even better . . .fully equal to the Hornblower series . I think Pope has done an excellent job and I look forward to reading the rest of the series .

I remember reading the thief of always first when I was in middle school . It had enthralled me at the time with it 's fantasy elements of a realm where kids could get whatever they wanted , at an unknown yet horrible cost . Reading it again as a young adult I must say , it still holds it 's own . It might seem a bit rushed in parts but it 's still excellent . The storyline is unique , the characters are interesting , quirky or creepy , and the climax is especially intriguing . It also makes one thinks : If you could have anything you wanted but at personal cost , would you take it ? Or would you enjoy the new life so much you 'd not care ? Clive Barker is one of the masters of unique , odd , or interesting stories and novels , and the thief of always is no exception to this . I highly recommend it for people of all ages .

Some may be offended by my characterization of LoTR as a "minor classic " , but offence do I not mean at all . Indeed , Tolkien stands among the greats of 20th century literature . Nonetheless , the impact of Tolkien 's work does not match the profound significance of Shakespeare or Chaucer or (certainly not ) the King James Bible . This is not to diminish the greatness of Tolkien 's achievements , but rather to acknowledge the sublimity of these sources . I do not think that Tolkien himself would be offended . From all accounts , he was a very humble man . What would he think about all this fuss we make over his work ? Generation after generation , new readers discover the heretofore unexplored lands of Middle - Earth . Long may they live , and deeply may they read !

I 'm a wrestling fan , but more importantly , I 'm a Mick Foley fan . Mr . Foley 's exploits and adventures over the course of his eventful career made a sixteen hour flight to Asia fly by . Having said that , I 'm also a fan of well -written books , and this is , unfortunately , not one of them . It 's clear that the book may have benefitted from the work of a ghost -writer , but at the same time , an autobiography from a man an straightforward as Mr . Foley would have seemed disingenuous with one . In short , this book is an open and honest look at the business of wrestling (although Mr .

First Sigma Force read for me . Bought it originally due to presence of CAPT Tucker Wayne and his war dog partner , Kane . Was delighted to see the inclusion of a short story , "Tracker " at the end and read that first as an appetizer . Then on to the main course ! Began the .story and wanted to try to finish in one seating . Size of book and other considerations kept me from doing that but I kept the story in mind as I laid the book down , each time leaving one or another of the multiple protagonists in dire straits . The action is fast -paced and without much letup . The prologue of the book gives a subtle hint of the main secret of the story which does not become clear until the end of the book . After the the prologue , Rollins introduces a teaser which stays in the mind of the reader as he /she follows the ensuing maze of excitement . There are some very rough descriptions as the author juxtaposes ethics /morality against the singleminedness of the scientific search for knowledge . I was both horrified and facinated at the science of trying to extend human life toward immortality . As is often the case , the ultimate goal is control of power by the chosen few . A darn good read and only the first of many Sigma Force novels I plan to inhale .

I have read all 5 books in this series and am really looking forward to the release of the sixth book . I have thoroughly enjoyed them all . If the series was written at a "PG13 " level instead of an "R " level , I would have given it five stars . I would not be comfortable sharing this with anyone under 17 or 18 years old , which is unfortunate because it is such an engrossing storyline . It is easy to see why this is a best selling series . If you aren 't concerned with the "R " level writing , you will probably consider this a 5 -star book series . Enjoy .

As I 've started this series , I 'll finish it , and I believe there 's another 2 after dance with dragons . This was a long book that left out quite a few big characters ( Jon Snow , Stannis , Tyrion ) . I was quite happy for this one to end . Cersei dominates this one , pulling her servants this way and that . It 's clear that it 's building up to something big though , and I 'm sure the remaining books will pick up again .

This is the first C . S . Lewis book that I 've read . I felt some trepidation in ordering the book , because of the subject , and the intellect of the author . However , I found myself spellbound , enjoying his writing skill , and his humor . At the end of each chapter I found myself delightedly saying aloud - Amen ! This book plainly illustrates to man his condition without God . To those who are "little Christs " as C .S .Lewis calls them , one gratefully realizes that all the good found in us and all the work done by or through us , was in fact His ordered plan as He stands alongside us enabling us . He is both witty and wise - a great read .

I read and taught And Then There Were None , which I thought was an amazing book . I was hoping for a similar experience with Murder on the Orient Express , and I wanted to read it before the film was released . Unfortunately , I was pretty disappointed . There is very little action in this book , and it is mostly Poirot just talking to everyone who is a suspect . I did enjoy the resolution , but getting to that point seemed slow and painful at times . As far as audiobooks go , that could have been one of my issues with enjoying this book . I listened to the book on 1x , and there were still times when the voice actor was difficult to understand . I appreciate how he used a variety of different voices , but there were times when I couldn 't understand him because he used too thick of an accent or spoke too quickly . There are a lot of characters and information to maintain , and maybe reading the book would have been better than listening to it . At least the audiobook is only about six hours , so at least it 's a quick listen !

While the characters . are not as endearing as those in Mrs . Gaskell 's Cranford , the story told in North and South gives deep insight into human condition during the Industrial . Revolution .

Some absolutely brilliant pieces of writing . A section where a mother goes to visit her injured son in a military hospital and instead finds herself mourning beside his grave sticks in my mind as being an outstanding section . It gives a western reader some insight about the miserable (crowded & impoverished ) conditions that people lived in these times in the USSR . Similarly the power of the state to influence peoples ' lives . You couldn 't even make some off -hand remark about the state without fear of being denounced and subsequently ending up in some Siberian gulag . On the downside there are a lot of characters in this book , who are referred to be their full name or short name depending on the context . I found it quite hard to keep track of who was who

To date I have read 25 % of the book . I 'm struggling . I was expecting a novel type story following a few people through the whole dreadful experience . Getting to know them and suffering with them . To date I 'm reading extracts of letters and extracts from other books . It 's more like a text book I 'm reading . It 's interesting and chilling and eye opening but it 's not a novel to my mind . It 's not sucking me in . Don 't let me put you off . Cheers , John Roughan .

I purchased this Bible for myself and just now , I ordered another for my husband who requires a little more aid for his aging eyes . He likes the feel and size of mine , which I keep in our vehicle for easy access - -it fits into the pack -pocket on the backside of my seat perfectly - -no noticeable bulge . The print is ideal . However , the leather binding is not of the highest quality . Nevertheless , the Bible acquires an attractive look through the gold metallic page trim . It holds no study resources ; therefore , you will not turn to it for inductive scrutiny . It is simply a grab and read type Bible .
