Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing , more than any man in all Venice . His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff ; you shall seek all day ere you find them ; and when you have them they are not worth the search .

For all that have read the Flashman series of books , this is a great change of pace by an excellent writer . The stories of life in a Highlander regiment , and the trials of tribulations of a new junior officer are well worth the reading . Short enough to read one story , and lay the book by until the next opportunity , enough dialect to connect with his "Jocks " - but not so much that a Yank gets lost in the Gaelic . The McAuslan stories are hilarious - and sometimes , sobering . Anyone that has ever served as a junior leader in the military will quickly connect with Mr . McNeil - especially if they had a McAuslan of their own .

My first Christie novel ; I won 't read another . I found it rather boring and not particularly "clever .

i 'm assuming i 'm reviewing the sound of this and not Agatha Christie (who gets 10 stars ) and not the cleverness of the actual book (also 10 stars ) . I 'm giving 4 stars for the woman who narrated this book . She did a great job with all of the voices except Poirot 's . I always read his parts as enthusiastic and excited and masculine . She read him as very nonchalant and a bit feminine . It got hard to listen to about 3 / 4 of the way through . However , it held our attention for several hours each day of our car ride from Florida to New Jersey and for that it was well worth it .

If you have read any of my other reviews , that you may know by now that I am someone who longs for the simplicity of life the way it used to be . . . and this is one of those authors whose style reflects the dignity of days gone by .

Little Women makes my heart sing . . .what can I say ? Miss Alcott knows how to develop a character that will both impress , and gently guide in the building of a child 's character . I love her works . : ) That said , I am sorry to have to say that there are several places where pages are missing , or repeated . It 's frustrating , to lose out on a page .

This is a great translation as far as correcting the mistakes of Greek based bibles go . However , I don 't like that it uses Jesus rather Yeshua , especially since it is based on the Aramaic .

Having completely worn out three sets of the Narnia books , I saw this one and thought "Hmmmm . . . Hardbound , all together . . .what could be bad ? " It 's missing many of the wonderful Pauline Baynes illustrations that are inextricably part of my own Narnia experience , and it 's too big to be purse -stickable . Other than those factors , the prose is the same , and it 's a good Narnia collection to keep on the shelf .

I am a great fan of Jeffrey Archer . However , I found this one a bit extreme with its plots and counter plots . Mrs . Dexter hired Connor Fitzgerald to assassinate the Colombian then sets him up to be killed . Thank God it 's fiction ! ! ! I liked the suspense nearer the end though . That visiting President was not exactly a class act .

This is a dated story from the Cold War days involving Nazis , Communists , and a pair of lovers caught in the middle of a search for mysterious box which holds the names of former Nazi collaborators , some of whom are now living innocent lives . The collaborators want it so their pasts will remain secret ; the neo Nazis want it for blackmail in hopes the people named will be forced to help them again and the Communists want it just because they 're nasty ! ! It 's a good read with history thrown in and lots of suspense .

I never read this book in high school but when the movie came out my husband wanted to watch it and I usually like books better so I read about half way then we went to see the movie since its only part of the book . . . I was not a big Lord of the rings fan (the movies I 've never attempted to read the books ) but I may read them now because to my own surprise I enjoyed the hobbit . it takes you to a whole other world it was a fun escape from daily life .

Ranking books of this nature is an interesting proposition . First of all it depends while you are here looking at the book , if you need it as a textbook for a course and are looking for a bargain price it is a no brainer - just order it . If you are supplementing other books and you are in the field I think it is also a wise choice as it is very detailed , had great diagrams and is easy to follow . If you are a not a molecular biologist , like me , and are simply keen to learn I think it is a brilliant book on the topic - understanding that this is not my specialty . I can imagine this does not solve all issues in the field , nor could any book , so I would not hesitate for one second in ordering this . I particularly have interest in the mitochondria and this wonderful book looks at this little organelle from many perspectives - so I am more than happy with this purchase . What a great source

I have read this book at least four times and it is still enjoyable . Compared to The Lord of the Rings , it is a very lightweight story . It was probably meant to be a children 's tale when it was written . While it is silly and contrived in parts - -thus the four stars instead of five - -it still holds up quite well and I will probably go on re -reading it every year or so along with its big brother LOTR .

Capra 's exploration of the parallels between modern physics and eastern mysticism is a book I should have read years ago . I am familiar with the religions he calls "Eastern mysticism " but modern physics not so much . I try to keep up with developments in science but found his presentation of modern physics tough going though I was familiar with its general outlines . Of course , there have been a lot of developments since this book was published in 1975 . But Capra 's statement Modern physics has confirmed most dramatically one of the basic ideas of Eastern mysticism ; that all the concepts we use to describe nature are limited , that they are not features of reality , as we tend to believe , but creations of the mind " will certainly stand the test of time . I highly recommend this book and plan to read some of his other books .

Ive watched the old movie a hundred times . Fantastic , I mean this is where they have the squeeky door and the bat with his tether strings visable . The book is great . I don 't want to compare it to the old movie because each has its special merit . I will compare it to Frankenstien , the book , which is not nearly as good as Dracula .

I 'm a fan of the layout of Folger Shakespeare Library .

In 1218 Eleyne is born amidst a burning castle in Wales . From infancy , her nurse brings her up to support the Celtic cause against the English and she is taught how to use the flames to see into the future . Throughout her fascinating life , Eleyne is married four times and produces numerous children . Several of the characters link up to character in other Erskine novels . I have read several of Barbara Erskine 's books , and so far this is my favorite . The characters she created were vibrant and extremely engaging . I love the historical aspects she throws into her novels and I can 't wait to read more . I only wish I had discovered this author earlier .
