Sick-making.......1999-03-28
Handle with caution! This book is exceedingly dangerous for diabetics
This is a tremendous little book........1999-03-28
I purchased this book for my collection when it was first published. I also purchased one for a neighbor who had suffered a stroke which left her paralized on the left side. She loved this book as much as I did. Each time I visit her she mentions this book. Unfortunately, there are not many books which can accommodate a person in this position.
It is a beautiful, little book which utilizes many of Diana's sayings which she uttered during her brief lifetime. These sayings are interspered with beautiful poetry. Also, there author makes flowers a central theme in the book.
I highly recommend this book for everyone.
A lovely book of rememberance about Diana.......1997-11-07
I was pleasantly surprised when I read this book. It's a collection of Diana's sayings during her life, interspersed with poetry from the 15th and 16th centuries, and tributes to the princess. The illustrations are beautiful. The author has chosen flowers, a symbol of Diana's funeral grieving. I like this book because it's something I can turn to at any time in order to remember the things Diana said, and she had plenty to say about family values, probably making some of the more significant statements about our life and times that have been made in recent years. I am a family person and I fouind myself relating very much to many of the things she said about values and children and suffering. This is not a scandal book about the princess, but one that reveres her memory. I liked it very much.

Different and Delightful.......2003-01-22
Let me begin by saying Stan Fischler is one of my favorite characters in all of hockey. From Stanta Clause to The Maven, he always has a way of bringing a new twist to the lovable sport of hockey. That twist is what created a unique book that was very entertaining and informative.
There are a lot of interesting interviews to read, some in Q and A format, some in normal narration. There are also some great pictures of some fierce battles and an interesting rating and ranking system that Fischler has put together. The pictures, stories, interviews and rating system combined with Fischler's colorful analysis mix well to produce a nice book for any hockey fight fan.
Different, but good.......1999-12-30
This was not what I expected. Mainly it contained interviews with Enforcers, ratings of fighters, and a few sections on reigning champs. Overall it was pretty good and interesting and I would recomend it if you are looking to find out more about some of the individual fighters in the NHL.
The Best about the NHL's Worst.......1998-12-26
Having read two previous editions of Fischler's Bad Boy's series, I had high expectations. Needless to say, Stan delievered. There are in-depth conversations and rating systems of every top NHL fighter in the league right now. There are spots that are targeted for the Old War horses - Domi, Twist, and Probert - and the new young guns - Langdon, Cairns, Stock, Johnson. This is the best book in the series. I could not put it down. If you love the fighters, but this book. I will bet my life that you will love it.
An honest way to make a living...kinda..........1998-11-29
Fischler has done well with this book. I personally have been waiting for someone to do an in-depth study of the people behind the intimidation tactics in professional hockey. This is an outstanding work that not only goes into the the psychology of the guys that duke it out on ice, but also into the various reasons why it's necessary for fights to occur in hockey. I really don't like unnecessary violence, but after reading this book, I can understand why fighting is an essential part of the game and should not be banned. Furthermore, it's great to get a behind the scenes look at the guys who do this kind of thing for a living. Most of them come off as being very honest, intelligent, and savvy people. This is a great book to get into, if you want a clearer understanding of what fighting in hockey is all about.

Combining film history and social history, Kevin Brownlow surveys the treatment of contemporary social problems by film directors and producers in the early part of the century. This is the definitive history of silent films, documenting many that have been lost or forgotten.

MR. BROWNLOW DOES IT AGAIN.......2000-01-13
Another awesome achievement by Kevin Brownlow. A fascinating and informative document for everyone who cherishes the silent film era.
Another must-have book from Kevin Brownlow!.......1999-02-14
This is a fabulous book, covering some of the more risque elements of the silent film era, as well as covering political issues. Loved Mr. Brownlow's coverage of HYPOCRITES (1915), a Lois Weber film which exists but is unfortunately as yet inaccessible on video. Can't wait for his Mary Pickford coffee table book to come out, hopefully in the next few months!
Book Description
Avoiding the easy definitions and caricatures that tend to celebrate or condemn the "hip hop generation," Hip Hop Matters focuses on the fierce and far-reaching battles being waged in politics, pop culture, and academe to assert greater control over the movement. At stake, Watkins argues, is the impact hip hop will have in the lives of the young people who live and breathe the culture. The story unfolds through revealing profiles, looking at such players as Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, widely recognized as America's first hip-hop mayor; Chuck D, the self-described "rebel without a pause" who championed the Internet as a way to keep socially relevant rap music alive; and young activists who represent hip hop's insurgent voice. Watkins also presents incisive analysis of the corporate takeover of hip hop; the culture's march into America's colleges and universities; and the rampant misogyny that undermines the movement's progressive claims. Ultimately, we see how the struggle for hip hop reverberates with a larger world: global media consolidation and conglomeration; racial and demographic flux; generational cleavages; the reinvention of the pop music industry; and the ongoing struggle to enrich the lives of ordinary youth.

Important for Scholars of Hip Hop Culture.......2006-06-28
An important discussion of the history and meaning of hip hop music and culture. Inspires academics to "get it right". Read this, watch documentaries "Style Wars" and "RIZE" and I promise you'll be throwing dance parties in your living room and writing operational definitions for "Bling".

Book Description
A stirring memoir from the acclaimed writer praised by Thomas Pynchon for having "the guts to go into the deepest core of herself, her time, her history, and risk more than anybody else has so far, just out of a love for the truth and a need to tell it."
Called "breathtakingly ambitious" by the New York Times for her novels' forays into war, history, the lives of the homeless, and the minds of cyborgs, Marge Piercy, one of the few writers of our time to be highly praised as both a poet and a novelist, turns her lens inward for the first time as she shares her thoughts on life and explores her development as a woman and writer. She revisits the people and places that have shaped her experiences and inspired her work. And she pays tribute to the one loving constant that has offered her comfort and meaning even as the faces and events in her life have changed: her beloved cats.
With searing honesty Piercy tells of her strained childhood growing up in a religiously split working-class family in Detroit. She examines her myriad friendships and relationships, including two painful early marriages, and reveals their effects on her creativity and career. More than a reminiscence of things past, however, Sleeping with Cats is also a celebration of the present and the future, as Piercy shares her views on aging, creativity, and finding a lasting and improbable love with a man fourteen years younger than herself. A chronicle of the turbulent and exciting journey of one artist's life, Sleeping with Cats is a deeply intimate, unforgettable story.

Sleeping with Cats: A Memoir.......2007-08-26
I began reading this book with a delicious sense of anticipation. Ms. Piercy's writing is, as usual, beautifully crafted, almost lyrical. Her use of the cats in her life was, for me, a tantalizing hook. But unfortunately, no matter how much I wanted to care enough about her life to pick up the book after once putting it down, there was nothing in it, for me, to make that happen. I found the book to be nothing more than a not very interesting, self-indulgent trip down memory lane.
Not what I expected.......2006-11-04
This book was NOT what I expected. If you're wanting a book about CATS and ONLY cats, this is NOT the book for you...but if you're like me and fell inlove with the title and love cats, and are willing to give this book a chance--you WON'T REGRET IT.
It is a GREAT book, all about the life of the author and growing up Jewish and everything else that comes with being a little girl who does love cats...but can't seem to hang on to them...thanks to dear ole dad.
I hated to see it end.
A lot of Marge and not so much cats.......2006-08-28
I was hoping this would be more about cats since I am researching writing a cat book, but instead it was a great deal about the author Marge Piercy, her entire life, in fact. Since I was unfamiliar with her work, reading her life story in such detail was of little interest to me, although I found parts of it -- the struggle to find time to write and balance a marriage at the same time -- interesting. But her chapters on her cats, especially when they were sick or dying, moved me greatly. I ended the book crying since Oboe dies in the last chapter, and forgot how long it took me to get to this very moving part. So...if you are interested in the author, you will feel like her friend by the time you finish. If you are interested only in cats, skip around to the chapters where she focuses on them.
I can't lie, I sobbed...........2006-02-25
I am a cataloging librarian and was working on Marge's latest novel when I decided to read up on her other books. As a new cat owner and a passionate woman I was attracted to this autobiography. Rarely do we ever see a memoir of a famous author's pets! I have to honestly say this is the best autobiography I have read in years. Yes, the language isn't perfect, just like the author, but it is a beautiful tale. I couldn't be more oppisite, not to mention from a totally different generation, then Ms. Piercy but I could still heartfully relate to her emotions. Her poems are treats and magically written. Yes, she does jump around and mentions things several times at different parts of the book but isn't that the way we speak of a memory? She is honest and wants you to become her companion, not a distance audience. If you have a pet you will relate to her heartfelt goodbyes to her beloved children. She keeps mentioning how she does not regret never having children, however this whole piece is her relationships with her 4 legged kids!:) What a beautiful, sincere and talented woman she is - I hope to one day meet her (update: I did! And brought this book. She told me that rarely do people bring this one when they meet her, she thought it was magical). I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an open soul.
Piercy's view of Piercy.......2005-08-10
Like most autobiographies of famous folks this book is best in the part before she become Marge Piercy, famous feminist author. She gives a straight picture of her life growing up in a working class and lower middle class areas of Detroit in the forties and early 1950s which is my favorite part of the book. There is the toughness and rawness of working class life, the ambiguousness of sexuality, and some of the stark hard knocks realities of the utter cruelty of children, and the far distance parents are.
The second favorite part of the book is her discussion of her hard struggling days attempting to be, refusing to be, being knarled at being a proper young middle class wife in the late 1950s and early 1960s, as well as her fight to become a writer and not a literature academic.
Marge does very well in those areas. Once she gets to around 1966 (where I came into this movie) she just goes too darned fast. Instead of taking time to narrate things, she starts giving her opinions about things. I am familiar with the places and people and things she speaks about in New York in the late 1960s, but I wonder if someone one who wasn't there would be able to follow what she talks about.
This book says almost nothing about Piercy as a writer except how she fought to write in her life in college, how writing saved her and gave her back her world in her hard days after her first marriage ended, and the general fight to have time to write and not have to do other stuff to earn a living after she became "established."
Yet, she never talks about different writers who inspired her, how she actually works, how she stands on disputes over techniques, how she sees her poetry and her fiction, or how she answers the questions that many of us have about the two Marges, the ham fisted strong willed plot boiling fiction writer who does the job and goes on without much verbal flare or subltety and the delicate, sensitive, lyrical poet she has always been, although even in the poem's The Marge's mastery of plain talk from the heart runs through.
I haven't said anything about cats. The cats in this book are not a gimmick. If you read the book--I won't spoil it--you will understand that from childhood, cats have been a special part of her life and identity. It is really necessary to know her for her to explain the relationships she has had with each of the cats that has inhabited her life. Just as necessary as for her to explain each of her parents and her husbands.
I confess to be an unbiased fan of Marge Piercy as both a writer and a person whom I admire. For me, this book gives more sense to different autobiographical threads in her work and clarifies confusions I had about her age (I thought she was about 10 years younger than she is from the times I have seen her, from all the good things I know she has done for people I know, always behind the scenes never trying to get the credit she is due).
Yet, I am not sure how interesting this would be for someone who is not a Piercy fan.
I would recommend that the reader who likes the pre-success part of Marge's story read her two more autobiographical novels Braided Lives and Small Changes. These were among her first books and seem to be neglected these days. There is a lot of meaning in both of those books. In fact, I used to read Braided Lives annually, or when I was in a tight fix personally--stolen cars, lost girl friends, fear of losing my job.

Lacking in Personality Depth.......2007-03-15
I found this work sadly lacking in the one aspect that would have made this a darn good read. Background and biographical information on the antagonists of either side is woefully short. We get next to nothing in the way of background info on McCausland and his subordinates, as well as Confederate Gen. Jubal Early or the Union army ersonnel involved. Neither is information on the units involved in this campaign provided. The work is presented, in my opinion, in a way that assumes the reader is knowledgable of the war and soldiers involved. While the movements of the various units before, during, and after the raid are covered quite well, it is written in the mode of a regimental history, dry and without adding much in the way of things that would be interesting to the casual student of the war and campaign. The book reads like an hour by hour trip from Cleveland, Oh. to Philadephia, Pa., and is about as interesting.
Title Misleading.......2003-01-10
Only a small fraction of this book deals with the actual "burning of Chambersburg". A more apt title might be "McCausland's 1864 Raid[s]", or better still "McCausland and Johnson's Raids of 1864". While maps are helpful and somewhat well detailed, they're not to scale, so the distance traveled by units to engage each other is often lost. While we know what roads are available today to get to these sites, and know that they are over most of the same roadbeds as then, an overall period map that might have been viewed by the parties envolved would have been very enlightening. Still, there's not that much material out there on this topic relative to other campaigns, and this book contains a lot of information/excitement of Confederate Cavalry raids in hostile territory in a very readable format.

Their Kingdom Come: Inside the Secret World of Opus Dei by Robert Hutchison purports to expose the inner workings of an extremely conservative Catholic organization headquartered in Rome, whose members include the Pope's personal secretary, his spokesman, and several of his close ministers. These leaders are supported by 80,000 other believers around the world. Opus Dei is Latin for "God's Work," and Hutchison believes that Opus Dei's divine devotions include the operation of a media network as large as Rupert Murdoch's; immense financial support of the Church; and the preparation for a new Crusade against Islam. Their Kingdom Come paints Opus Dei as a Catholic conspiracy to infiltrate the world's upper echelons of political, financial, and educational power, and suggests that the group especially prizes its Mafia connections. Hutchison, a Swiss journalist who has written for the Sunday Telegraph and Toronto's Financial Post, weakens some of his arguments with cheap shots (chapter titles include "Moneybags Theology" and "Opus Octopus"), and he leans too heavily on anonymous sources for his most scandalous accusations. The few Opus Dei members whom he does identify, do, however, evince a steely, dogmatic self-confidence: "We have been chosen by God to save the Church," says one; "We have an orthodox vision that is pure, certain, solid, assured of everything," intones another. Opus Dei is the pope's only Personal Prelature, a privileged bishopric with no geographical boundaries. Learning more about the group is worth a reader's time, and Their Kingdom Come is a fine, though flawed, way to begin that endeavor. --Michael Joseph Gross

1Star because you cannot give 0.......2007-01-12
Seldom do I come across a book that turns me off so quickly, and so completely, as this book did. For a little over a year I have been researching Opus Dei with the goal of doing my Thesis on the organization. If even a tenth of what this book claims is true, then this group is the best in the world at keeping secrets, and the people I have known who are members are great deceivers, better than what the devil himself is given credit for being.
The cover of the book claims: "A responsible piece of investigative reporting ... packed with meticulous detail." from Publishers Weekly. Yet I find none of that in this book in comparison with other books on the same subject. Both this author, and Michael Walsh in his book The Secret World of Opus Dei, claim to have access to secret documents that are not reproduced or evidenced other than their claims given to their existence.
Hutchison claims that Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei, was not really interested in the spiritual life of his followers. He states: "Escriva was interested in power. He was a schemer. God's schemer. And he wanted to control higher education, and later government ministries." p.87 This book makes such wide and varied accusations against Opus Dei that it is hard to believe the author has not been charged with libel and slander. Hutchison claims that Opus Dei has overturned governments, controlled the FBI and the CIA, bankrupted the Vatican so that Opus Dei could bail them out, and orchestrated assassination attempts including the one against Pope Paul VI. He even went so far as to claim that Opus Dei controls the majority of the Clergy and Laity in the Roman Curia and that they even actively recruit in the Pentagon and other government organizations around the world to achieve the power and control they want. Hutchison even alludes to the fact that Pope John Paul II was really just a puppet for Opus Dei; he calls JPII Opus Dei's Pope.
How this book is published as Non-Fiction and not Fiction I will never know. Of the 30 odd books I have read, both for and against Opus Dei in the last year, this book is definitely the worst and thus deserves a `Hate It' book review. If you want to read something unbiased and informative, I would start with John Allen Jr.'s book Opus Dei: An Objective Look Behind the Myths and Reality of the Most Controversial Force in the Catholic Church. It is worth the read. But this book by Hutchison is trash and does not deserve your time, effort or hard-earned money.

A scathing expose of the elite shadow government behind the Vatican.......2006-06-08
Now in an newly updated and expanded edition, Their Kingdom Come: Inside the Secret World of Opus Dei is a scathing expose of the elite shadow government behind the Vatican, Opus Dei. From their unholy alliance with the Mafia, secular powerbrokers, and high-ranking prelates, to the threat that money and politics poses to the Christian values underlying the Catholic Church itself, Their Kingdom Come chills the spine as it shows how absolute power corrupts absolutely. Written by journalist and National Business Writing Award winner Robert Hutchinson, Their Kingdom Come is highly recommended for lay readers and religious leadership alike, both as a warning of Opus Dei's shortcomings and a cautionary tale for other religious groups, institutions and movements.
opus dei secrets of the church.......2004-03-02
opus dei is said to mean work pd god ,yet why is it that it refers to oedipus, . the one man who was ably to answer the riddle. The shynx by the way can be seen in the Mona Lisa, as written of by oscar wild a member of the priory of sion. He also wrote the play salome, salomina in italian. Can you spell salomina using the word mona lisa? yes you can, lift the 7th letter and she reveals who she is. The egyptian sphnx gaurds th secret to the dead. Is Mona Lisa short for madonna elisabeth, st. elisabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. She has been diagnosed a having the symtoms of pegnancy. there is much more but if you want to know the big secret that she holds. Look at Da Vincis androginous John the Baptist, and also notice the difference in size in the left hand, it is covered by the right hand,
What is she hiding. Its in the Last Supper, and also in the earliest depiction in 520 ce, then after years of no depictions shows up in 1045, and suggest an amputated left limb.
Oddly mel gibsons only cameo shot in the hours of film is the left hand being nailed to the cross. He also portrays satan as an androdine, like the hermaphrodite john the Baptist.
MelGot cute, he gave it away thinking he would have something to toy with. He knows its one of the biggest lies in history, but if it serves the purpose of opus day and the neo nazi councils to the vatican, especially the newly established head of the office of the inquisitor, the anti semetic gay bashing Cardinal Josheph Ratzinger of Bavaria no less. All the better, your dealing with a group of sociopathic fascist, who will do anything to maintain power.
Money is the bottom line, power, and the necessity to blame jews, gays and others to create and foster hatred. Sound to me like Hitler used the same thing.
Forget the truth, what you seee are wolves in sheeps clothing.
.They all need therapy and a have no intention of giving up such a wonderful sadomasochistic gig. Sick is the word, pathetic and rotten to the core.
False book.......2004-02-24
This book has very high biased opinion over the Opus Dei. I don't believe in anything I've read in it.
Superbly Researched and Written.......2003-10-08
This is an excellent book - superbly researched and written. I would imagine that any previous negative reviews were submitted by Opus Dei sympathizers. That's fine, of course. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. It is therefore my opinion that anyone who is interested in the machinations of the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church should buy this book and digest it thoroughly.

Nice, but not what it says on the cover........2004-01-22
The author does know a lot about the care of seahorses, as he tells us many time. He does not however, let us in on his knowledge. A great book to give to your mom as a source of basic information on seahorses. Pretty much useless for a hobbiest.
Except, of course, dont get seahorses...
Not the message I want from a book on the care of seahorses. And none of the information you would expect from the title.
Useful and caring.......1999-10-12
The author is incredibly devoted to the lives of seahorses. He really takes it upon himself to let the reader know the risks involved in keeping seahorses in captivity. The book could use more information on tank design for seahorse raising success.

I bought this book when I was considering getting seahorses for my Salt tank. This has been the most help I have found. This book should be required for anyone considering the purchase of seahorses. I use it as a refence guide and am happy to report that thanks to this book not only do I have healthy, happy seahorses but a very pregnant male seahorse!
