Fourteen-year-old Tracy Forrester is resigned to having the worst summer of her life. Her dad has booked her and her siblings into this weird place in Massachusetts, where divorced parents and their kids hang out with other split-up families. It's called Farnsworth House, but dubbed the "Hippie Hotel" by Tracy's dad, mostly due to the fact that long-haired proprietor Sharon Farnsworth really believes in the healing power of togetherness. Tracy doesn`t buy it. "I think the idea is that if you get divorced kids together with other divorced kids, they won't feel so bad about being divorced. So far it hasn't worked." Ever since her parents' split, Tracy has gained 15 pounds and a terminal case of low self-esteem. At Farnsworth, she's terrified of Beka who smokes and only listens to punk, and her mother Lorraine, who seems to have designs on Tracy's father. She likes Kelsey, who's also there with her dad, except she's so cute she makes Tracy feel even plainer by comparison. But things start looking up when she catches the eye of Kevin, a cute local, discovers that Beka is more bluster than bite, and that Kelsey really is as nice as she is pretty. Suddenly, the Hippie Hotel is actually "not-so-terrible"--in fact, it's kinda great. A solidly written story disguised as a frothy summer read, debut author Rosemary Graham's gentle, funny tale about family life after the big "D" will be eagerly embraced by middle-grade fans of Judy Blume and Barthe DeClements. (Ages 12 to 16) --Jennifer Hubert

Book Description

Tracy's summer vacation couldn't start off any worse. Her father has dragged her to Farnsworth House, a.k.a. the Hippie Hotel, on Cape Cod. It's a place where divorced parents bring their children for quality "Together Time." Tracy dreads the whole idea, until she meets the other girls her age at the hotel. They seem friendly and fun. But they're also great at flirting, which Tracy definitely isn't. When Tracy meets Kevin, a cute, smart guy, she panics. With pretty friends like Kelsey and Beka around, how can Tracy possibly interest Kevin? Then again, maybe she is someone worth knowing, and maybe Kevin thinks so too. Filled with strong, appealing characters and heartfelt narration, this is a touching and memorable first novel.

Courtesy of Teens Read Too.......2007-03-15

When Tracy's father drags her along on a summer vacation designed for divorced parents and their kids, it turns out to be a lot better than she expected.

Insecure Tracy finds friends in Kelsey and maybe even Beka. She even meets a guy! Maybe "Together Time" isn't as bad as she expected...Or maybe it is. If she can find it in herself to be confident, to actually go for a guy, maybe it'll happen, despite what she may think. Of course, if she keeps thinking that way, her summer's not going to be exactly stellar. In the end, it's all up to Tracy.

MY NOT-SO-TERRIBLE TIME AT THE HIPPIE HOTEL is a cute, predictable feel-good story. It's a well-written novel, populated with enjoyable characters.

A summer at Farnsworth House .......2006-02-18

Tracy's father decides he needs some "Together Time" with his kids after divorcing their mother. So he books a stay at Farnsworth House on Cape Cod, a place for divorced parents to bring their kids and spend some quality time with them. Two other families are also there: a divorced mother with three troubled kids (one a girl Tracy's age) and the other another divorced father with two more well-adjusted kids (and another girl Tracy's age).

The house is run by Sharon and her hottie son Paul. They cook for the families and even set up excursions to local attractions. Even though the house itself isn't too bad, Tracy's not having a great time. Beka, Lorraine's daughter and the first other girl that arrives, is a skinny dancer with an attitude problem and a nicotine addiction. They don't hit it off at all. When Kelsey, the tanned and friendly California girl, arrives, things start to look up.

Soon, though, Tracy is feeling left out again. Both Kelsey and Beka seem to be able to talk and flirt with boys without any problem. Tracy can barely make her mouth work to get a word out. When she meets Kevin and he seems interested in her, she is practically paralyzed.

I recommend this book for ages 12 and up. Told in Tracy's voice, the book is an easy and compelling read. Tracy's eating disorder (overeating for comfort) and internal conflict is dealt with honestly. Readers watch as she slowly begins to come out of her shell.

Overall, this is a very good read. My only complaint (and it's a small one, since the main focus of the book is Tracy) is that only some of the other characters are developed to any extent within the story. I didn't feel like I got to know any of the minor characters - in fact, it wasn't until I was writing this review and looking up references that I realized Lorraine had three kids. I only recalled Beka and Sean from the story. That's a small issue, however, and definitely not one to dissuade you from picking up this fun book.

Sooo Good!!.......2004-02-12

this book was really good. i hope rosemary graham will write a sequel. it's a book i picked up and i literally couldn't put it down, except while taking notes in class (those are important). but whenever i had the chance to read during class...I DID!! i'm looking for another book kind of like it, but it's so hard to find one. the cover may not be interesting, but the book really is!

Not just for the YA crowd!.......2003-10-30

I picked up this book, thinking it would be for a much younger reader...and I loved it! Tracy's adventures at the Hippie Hotel are both moving and funny. She is a winning character and Rosemary Graham is a winning storyteller.

A not-so-terrible Book.......2003-09-01

I won this book in a contest held by the author. It was one of the best books ever. I am 14 years old, and this book was wonderful. Full of the problems most girls face every day, and a few more unusual ones, this book is a great read for anyone!

Good deal.......2005-09-15

I got a quick response to my email. Happy to do business with an organization doing some good in the community.

Outstanding.......2005-03-18

I had to use this book during my two semesters of non-calculus college physics, and my first reaction to this 1000+ page monster was mathematical FEAR. However, as I kept reading the book I realized that it explained the majority of concepts clearly even for a person with limited calculus knowledge. The book does an excellent job early on with Newton's three laws, but it gets a little confusing on statics.

The last half of the book was covered in my second semester, and it was also excellent in explaining the topics of thermodynamics, DC and RC circuits, Magnetism and Optics among others. Nevertheless, there were times when the explanation and examples of the book were not enough to answer some of the problems at the end of each chapter. Furthermore, my only complain about the book is that sometimes it uses what my instructor called "Shortcuts" in the sample problems without explaining how the author arrived to a given equation or derivation of a formula. Physics is by no means an easy subject and to do well at it you will need a great instructor and a great book - I was lucky enough to have both.

There are very few books that I keep after I take a class, but I have to say that this book is an invaluable reference that will be in my professional bookshelf for many years.

excellent book.......2004-12-28

This book is very easy to understand and fun to study from. Very helpful for beginners.

Decent but way expensive.......2004-06-16

I had to buy this book for my two general physics courses. I must say this book is the most expensive I've ever bought. This leads me to my first bad critique: this book is unnecessarily large and expensive. The book is full of useless pictures (all in vibrant expensive color), it has too many examples and 1/3 of the majority of the pages are blank. I don't recommend this book if your a poor college student. My second bad critique is that some examples aren't fully explained (particularly with the some equations). Third bad critique: some problems require knowledge that you won't find in the book. There was an instance where I ran into a problem (a double Atwood machine problem) that required knowledge of Newton's laws in non-inertial frames which the book does not provide. I managed to solve this problem with outside help but I must say I felt cheated. My last bad critique: this book has no errata yet!
Now for some good points. The authors exposition of the material is fairly straight-forward. The book is full of problems (some which overly challenging but good nevertheless), covers a great number of topics (45 chapters worth), and uses very little calculus (the majority of the problems involve highschool mathematics).

Not a very good physics book.......2004-06-04

If you're a beginner or not interested in physics stay away from this book. Its mostly geared towards people with high interest and a good reference. Otherwise, the book is very boring to read and all they do is throw formulas at you. Stay away at all costs.

Great textbook for those willing to learn.......2007-05-15

Regardless of what the engineering undergrads say, this textbook is great. Previously an engineering undergrad myself - turned physics, this is by far the best physics textbook i've come in contact with. Higher physics textbooks are usually very dry, but this book makes entry level physics fun to learn. The reason all of the engineering undergrads have a problem with this book is because they are used to plugging numbers into equations. If you seek to get an actual UNDERSTANDING of the concepts and wish to brush up on your calculus, this is an excellent book for you. If you don't, I wouldn't recommend this or any other physics textbook.

Not the best, but acceptable.......2007-01-28

This text book is not the best physics book I've ever used, but if you're good at calculus and you're a natural you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Problems with the book:

1.) Almost every solution given in the back of the book or the solutions manual is entirely wrong. So you will just have to trust that you worked it out correctly or take it to someone who knows what they are doing and ask them to verify concepts that you are having trouble with or that you don't think you understand to the full capacity.
2.) The definitions given are vague and often inconsistent, so you will have to do most of the thinking yourself and derive the definitions from common sense.

Pro's of the book:
1.) If you read the introduction and go through the in-chapter examples concentrating very hard, you should come out with a pretty good understanding of the material and be able to work out most of the problems in the back.
2.) If you go to this website: http://wps.prenhall.com/esm_fishbane_physics_3
It gives you a summary for each chapter, all of the important formulas for that chapter, and it gives you "practice problems" which are incredibly helpful.

You can understand it, but there are easier ways.......2006-08-15

I am an engineering student, and this book was the required text for my University Physics course. My teacher sucked big time, and I couldn't grasp ANYTHING from lectures alone. I thought by concentrating on the textbook alone, I could get the material. One thing I can tell you is that if you read the book with utmost concentration, you can understand the material to a moderate level. HOWEVER, this process takes up much of your time, because the book is filled with derivations of several formulae that you don't really need to know, and the syntax can confuse you often. If Physics is your true passion and you WANT to learn EVERYTHING about it (and have enough free time to read through this book without ever feeling a little bored), then this book will be useful for you. Otherwise, you're better off with a study guide and also, another physics text for reference.

Do the authors come from some 5th dimension?!.......2005-10-22

I took calculus I, and taking calculus II at the same time with my physics course. As a physics fan, I am pretty much disatisfied with this book. If you have already known some basic concepts in physics, you may find that this book provides more confusion than understanding. If you don't know anything about physics, you should not use this book as a base for your knowledge in physics. The author explains things as if he assumes that you know what is going on in his mind!

I have more to say about the problem exercises in this book. There are a couple of typos that if you have to use this book as your textbook for physics course, you may find out. The problems in the book are divided into 3 levels according to their difficulties: level I, II, and III. Sometimes, if don't want to say many times, I have no significant difficulties in solving a level III problem, but have a painful experience in solving level II problems. Level I is usually easy, but can be tricky. A major difficulty in solving problems in this book, even though you understand the physics concepts, is that you don't know what the problems are asking for. It is because the questions are often very ambiguous. You can check out some examples: problem 11 page 54 (note that the value 39.25 is a typo), 15 page 113, 24(c) page 204. These are just a few examples to give you a sense. If you are "lucky" enough to have this book as your textbook, and have to solve the problems in there for your homework, you will experience more!

Tough Subject.......2005-09-05

Physics is no easy subject, especially when every aspect is supposed to be understood. Even high school physics is no laughing matter, and so I can understand the frustration some of the people voice on this book. If you want a book that will allow you to plug in specifically easy problems into the specific couple of equations you learned in the chapter, this book is not for you. However, if you desire a book that will give you all the tools and understanding to solve almost any general problem that is thrown at you, you better not wait another second to buy this book.

This book harnesses Calculus to provide more powerful equations. While the derivations of equations look frighteningly daunting, if you read them carefully and do not move on until you understand how the authors got to it, your ability to ad-lib on other problems will be tremendously increased. I must admit, however, that the sample problems do not always prepare you adequately for the end of the chapter problems. The level one problems are too easy. The level two problems are adequate but can usually be solved by searching through the chapter and sticking in the number into an equation found there. And the level three problems are nearlly impossible, but, if solved, give you a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

If you are ready to be challenged and wish to learn true physics, you have nothing to be afraid of to buy this book.

Download Description

They heard from the headman that the whole country near the river was densely covered with bushes, and that the ground was swampy and very difficult to cross. They agreed, therefore, that they would form a strong intrenchment at the spot where they were to embark. It was unlikely in the extreme that the Romans would seek to penetrate such a country, but if they did they were to be opposed as soon as they entered the swamps, and a desperate stand was to be made at the intrenchment, which would be approachable at one or two points only.

The book is great. Do not buy the edition from Amazon that I bought (cover has half a blue oval on it) because it only has half the pages. Find a different edition somewhere else!

Even with half the pages, the story is terrifec. Amazon doesn't seem able to police their fulfillment system. My replacement copy had the same defect, even though I requested that the shipping department check before sending it. A book with 520 pages can't be less than an inch thick.

There is a printing error with this book. Both copies of the book sent to me were missing every other page. I know this is a re-issue of an older book, but can't believe the publishers missed such an error.

How frustrating can it get when pages (I mean 217 pages) are missing from a book. I should have known something was amiss since the book was so small. Unfortunately I did not double check before I handed it over to my grandson to read. He tried to be polite but I'm glad he told me about the problem. I returned the book to amazon for full refund. No problem there. Needless to say I will double check every book in the future and refrain from ordering any from this particular publisher. Sloppy job folks!

AWESOME!!!!.......2004-10-12

This is an excellent book, one of the best I have ever read. All of G.A.Henty's books are great, but not for someone who has trouble with reading or comprehension, because these books use old english, being written over 100 years ago. I am a great fan of Henty's books, and this on is no exception!
