This was definitely as good as the first novel. It's fast paced, the characters are clear in your mind, and although it does contain detailed parts, it doesn't distract from what's going on. Love the show...Love the book.

I THINK ROBERT TINE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH THIS BOOK. I COULD IMAGINE EVERYTHING HAPPENING AS I WAS READING. I FOUND IT HARD TO PUT DOWN WHICH I FOUND HARD TO GET USED TO SINCE I AM NOT A READER OF BOOKS AT ALL. THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK THAT I ACTUALLY FINISHED AND IT HELD MY INTEREST ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I CANT WAIT FOR ANOTHER BOOK TO COME OUT AND I AM STILL LOOKING TO FIND BOOK ONE AS I KNOW IT WILL BE AS GOOD AS THE FIRST.

Thisis an excellent read. I've been searching for it to reread for a couple of months now but these prices are too high! Amazon should look into this because it seems like price fixing to me. I love the series and this title is hard to come by, however, at these prices I'll look on Ebay. I'm sure I can find it for about $2.00 there. Take my advice, read the book. It's great! But look on Ebay or Half.com for it. These prices are crazy.

Having read the first TV Tie-In for JAG I was excited to continue on to the second. I was hoping it would be just as exciting and fast paced as the first. Thankfully, I was not disappointed.

Again, I feel that Robert Tine really has a knack for capturing the feel of an episode of JAG. The characters were true to form and mirror images of the ones I've grown to love through the show. The dialogue was authentic -- funny when called for and serious when it had to be. Something I love about JAG is the tendency to jump from humor to drama and Mr. Tine captures that feel very well in this novel.

As per the first novel, the plot was enthralling and intricate and kept me guessing and completely involved right up until the very end. This story line would really make an exciting episode of JAG!

Again, I was well pleased with Mr. Tine's ability to capture the chemistry between Harm and Mac perfectly. Their banter was just as witty and captivating as that on the program.

An added bonus in this book is the increased inclusion of Bud Roberts -- a character I've grown fond of and who adds much to the story by way of levity.

Once again I was sad to note that a picture section had not been included in this book either -- I still say this would make a nice addition to these highly readable books!

All in all, _Clean Steel_ was a superb read -- on the same par with the first book in this series. I was quite impressed with this book and will read it again. Once more I was able to picture the actors who play these parts while I read the story which is a exceptional accomplishment on the part of Mr. Tine -- he captured their essence so well.

_Clean Steel_ was a first class read that I completely enjoyed. I certainly hope there are plans to continue with this line of TV Tie-Ins. I, for one, would definitely buy them!

I was just as pleased with the second JAG novel as I was with the first. It picks you up right from the start and dosen't put you down 'till it's over.

There is no court room action this time, the story is based aroud and investigation, but it has lots of action none the less.

I think this book was edited much more throughly than the last, although there are still one or two small mistakes that a deticated JAG fan would pick out :o) Though once again, Harm does not fly an F-18!

Oh well maby they'll get it right in the next book, and I hope there will be a next one!

i am in taiwan. and there are few movie poster information here. it provide me a lot of knowledge to know more deeply in movieposter. it's great.

Thinking of sprucing up the walls of your home theater? Before you do, pick up a copy of Ed & Susan Poole's Learn About Movie Posters. The comprehensive 448 page book shows you how to spot fakes, determine value, and care for your collection. It also discusses where to buy movie posters --- collector shops, mall shows, conventions, catalogs, and the internet --- pointing out the pros and cons of each. There's even a section with ads for many of the most reputable poster dealers.

This is currently one of the few books available to the poster collector, and fortunately it covers a vast range of topics in depth.

Hopefully subsequent editions will contain colour photos, but that small niggle aside, it's a detailed and highly readable reference book. The authors' enthusiasm and knowledge of their subject shines through.

LEARN ABOUT MOVIE POSTERS is a great guide to collecting authentic movie posters. It is useful for the seasoned collector and the film enthusiast who is just warming to the idea of owning a few movie posters. Written by Ed and Susan Poole, the book distills the important information about collecting film posters and brings the entire subject into focus. What's an authentic poster? Where did these posters come from? When did people begin to collect them? Do posters come from all countries? Are there cartoon posters? Did famous artists work on these posters? Can you still get silent movie posters? How do you buy a movie poster, and where can you see them? Is the internet useful in trying to find movie posters? Who are the great dealers in film material? What makes certain posters valuable? All the information in the book is useful, and if the book doesn't answer every last question, it addresses the areas in which questions naturally arise. This one should be in your library. The information in this book is of great help and is written in a clear and concise manner.

I am the owner of a web site dedicated to authenticating movie posters and I find this book worth every penny and more.This book is terrific for both the young and old collector and is awesome referance material.I actually find it odd that someone has not compiled this amount of information long ago to help people understand collecting movie posters and what it involves.If you would like to start collecting movie posters this is definately the book for you....sincerely "Mymovieposters" ... authenticating movie posters from 1970 to present!

I love to watch the show which is HILARIUS. So I got this book which is one-hundred times more hilarius. There was not one chapter where I wasn't laughing my head off. It was the funniest book I had ever read. If you buy this book I guarantee you will laugh just as much as me.

This book was absolutely hilarous. It captured the life of a 11 year old genius surrounded by his family of idiots. Including the dimwitted Reese. The overbearing screaming Lois. The somewhat dumb dad named Hal who's just a bumbling big kid at heart. The cute(or so they say)little brother Dewey. The eldest brother Francis who attends military school after his reckless behavior in the past. And it all comes down to the kid with the IQ of 165! This book is all about the normal----did I say normal?--family of the Wilkersons.

So in a complete summary of MITM, This book is definitely in my top ten. 5 stars!

"Life is Unfair!" is a novelization by Tom Mason and Dan Danko of the first two episodes of the Fox television series "Malcolm in the Middle." The authors do a very nice job of taking that initial pair of teleplays for "The Pilot" (by series creator Linwood Boomer) and "Krelboyne Picnic" (by Michael Glouberman & Andrew Orenstein) and turning them into a seamless whole. Thus we are introduced to Malcolm, who is horrified to learn that he is not simply weird but a certifiable genius. This means being untimely ripped from his relatively normal classroom and being sent to the class for the "gifted" students, which is just a way of hiding the fact that everybody in the Krelboyne class is a nerd a freak or possibly both. Malcolm gets off to a bad start with his new classmates and the prospect of a talent show in front of all the parents does not make our hero any happier. Besides, we have not even mentioned Malcolm's parents and his brothers, who are all apparently conspiring to make things even worse.

There has also been a definite effort to clean-up things a bit for the juvenille reader in this first "Malcolm in the Middle" book. For example, we no longer have the litany of past offenses for which Francis was banished to the Marlin Academy in Alabama and Lois greets Ms. Miller wearing a bit more than she actually did in the pilot. Such things are to be expected I suppose. However, . . . I do . . . not think . . . that Stevie . . . ever spoke . . . in bursts . . . of only . . . one word . . . I think . . . he always . . . does two . . . words at . . . a time . . . Although I . . . may be . . . wrong about . . . that. Ultimately this book is an interesting trade off. On the one hand, Mason and Danko have provided a more realistic version of the television show, but on the other hand it is the manic zaniness of this collective of crazed individuals that makes the show so compelling (just think of the opening of the episode shown after the Super Bowl where Hal and Dewey try to get a spider out of the house only to succeed in pitching it out the front door and right into Lois's open mouth). However, there is really no way to capture such inspired lunacy on the printed page, which means the authors made the right choice. Then again, maybe the show has become more surreal as time goes bye and maybe this is something we must remember.

It was really funny. It had cool and funny moments just like the show! You so will not regret reading this book. Every moment is worth it, no dull moments! Check this book out!!

Based on the "Pilot" and "Krelboyne Picnic" episodes, you can re-live both episodes just from reading the book, which is why i loved it! Experience the humilation and humor Malcolm goes through, just from reading the book! I am 14, and i love the series! (well maybe cuz im a big fan of the show but ya know...). The reading level is very easy, so it is a "kick-back-and-relax-while-you-read" kind of book. It is not confsuing so you don't have to think while you read. I'd recommend this book as well as the other books in the series. Definitley check out the "Water Park" book in the series. (#2) You can surely re-live that episode easily!! :)

This is the first in what I hope to be many in this series. Linn Random has taken us to the small town of St. Gabrielle, Florida. It is the perfect setting for the contrasting worlds of Sage McCall of chaotic Los Angeles and Police Chief Jon Maddux of peaceful St. Gabrielle, Florida. Sage McCall is on a security assignment with a reality television crew from Hollywood, California. St. Gabrielle is buzzing because Hollywood has graced its presence on them.

However, not everyone is happy to have them in town. Head of Security, Sage McCall and Police Chief Jon Maddux are constantly butting heads over because of the show. They don't see eye-to-eye until the two are thrown into a sultry and intense investigation of passion, longing, and mystery.

This is yet another great novel from Linn Random that will leave you on the edge of your seat and biting your nails until the end. So grab a chaise, a glass of wine, some chocolate and smile for your close up with another Linn Random novel. Cheers!

I could tell you about how great the characters were, how enticing the book is but not only do you have to read this book as it is so worthy of a look, Make sure you get this book!

For some reason every book I have read by Linn Random seem to be getting better and better. This author is on my must read must have list.

Her stories take you into worlds that alone make you love her. Every thing scene arouses you making you forget every thing around you as you get so involved in the story. It is as if you are watching a movie run in your mind.

I for one am awaiting her next book to take me away.

Sage McCall is providing security for McMasters Studios, who is in Florida taping a new TV show. Things were going along fine until she discovers the body of a member of the production crew and has to call the Police Chief in the middle of the night! They go down hill fast after she finds the second body!

Police Chief Jon Maddux doesn't want the studio people in "his" small town - they bring back too many bad memories of his days as a DEA agent. When he receives a call in the middle of the night about the dead body, it just confirms his suspicions that his peaceful life is over, until they get done filming and get out of town!

Linn Random is one of the best when it comes to combining romance and suspense. I loved Sage and Jon and the "sparks" that flew whenever these two were together! Looking for a good romantic suspense to read? Grab LIGHTS. CAMERA. MURDER! It'll have you begging for more!

Sage McCall knows that she can provide security for the reality t.v. film set but it now seems that someone has a grudge against someone working on the film crew. Sage is unsure of whom to trust but now because of all the stranges happenings the local Sheriff, Jon Maddux is involved. Now they must join forces and discover who the culprit is before someone ends up murdered.

Lights. Camera. Murder! by Linn Random is a book that gives you spine tingling suspense and edge of your seat action. Linn Random is a talented author whose characters seem lifelike and so real, reading them is like being right there with them. Her detailed account of the scenery and surrounding area also gives credence to the story making it seem that you were almost watching it on T.V. I wholeheartedly recommend Lights. Camera. Murder! to those readers' who love the romantic suspense genre, it is a must buy!

LIGHTS, CAMERA, MURDER

LINN RANDOM
Rating 5 stars

Lights, Camera, Murder by Linn Random, is a spine-tingling, suspense filled, sensual romance. This story combines suspense with the most titillating sexual tension between the two main characters that it kept me riveted and at the edge of my seat.

Jon Maddux is the Chief of Police of the small coastal town of St. Gabrielle, Florida. When McMasters Studios decided to film their, popular reality show Murder in Florida, in St. Gabrielle, Jon was opposed. He did not want his small quiet town over run with Hollywood people and for it to become a tourist attraction; well that is, until he has the opportunity to meet Sage McCall the head of security on the production set. Will Jon be able to keep his cold "business only" demeanor? Moreover, will he allow Sage to show him that not all people in the entertainment industry are all bad?

Sage McCall is the head of security on the set of the much-anticipated Reality show Murder in Florida. Sage is one of three daughters of the famous Jack McCall, the owner and founder of a prestige's security firm in Los Angeles. Sage is very aware of the Chief of Police's strong dislike for the production company, and she knows the he tolerates them because he has to. When Sage has to wake him up in the middle of the night to report a murder on the production set, the last thing she expects when Jon walks onto the set is to feel this strong attraction for the gorgeously rugged Chief of Police. Will Sage be able to put aside some of these intense feelings in order to help find the killer?

Linn Random is a wonderfully talented and creative author. Lights, Camera, Murder is a story that begins with a murder on a television production set. It instantly grasps you; then keeps you riveted and guessing as to who the killer is. There is even one point when all clues lead to one person, and you, the reader think, that you got it, well then comes Ms. Random's ingenuity to foil your solution and expose a completely different twist. Ms. Random also has the delicious ability to intertwine a heartwarming love story in the midst of this murder. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series; I hope it will be about Mallory McCall, one of Sages sisters. If you, like me love a suspense packed story, with a little romance then this book is for you. You will not be disappointed.

Lizzie McGuire Movie'. Unluckly, I'm not in US, so I can't

watch the film.I've watch the preview and I like it very

much.This book is full of imagination, it's a bit similar to the

book' The Princess Dairies'. It's the best book for all the

girls who liked to dream(including me) ------being a famous pop

star, having all the clothes and food you want. I like the

ending best, because it is unexpected. I think that it will be

one of the favourtes of the girls who liked to dream !!!

- Lucia Lee, one of the readers of this wonderful book

This book was really great. I would reccomend it for ages 11 or 12 and up because it has a bad word in it and it has the word sexiest in it. So if you know any 11 or 12 or older person get it for them if they are a Lizzie McGuire.

This is the best book around! It tells the exact same story as the movie. There aren't differences in this book as the movie. I read the first two pages of the book when I first bought it

i'm a big fan of lizzie, i think this book was very cute, it's very funny. i hope the movie turns out the same way.

The Lizzie McGuire Movie by Susan Estelle Jansen is an awesome story about one girl that is to clumsy to do anything and then she goes on a trip to Rome and finds out otherwise.

Lizzie is just about to graduate from junior high and she messes up real bad! Her brother tape records it and sends it to Good Morning America. Then she goes on a class trip to Rome and she tells her best friend Gordo that they need to find adventures. Then Lizzie bumps into pop superstar Paolo and she does find adventures. He tells her that she looks just like Isabella the girl he sings with. He tells her his story and she agrees to help him. She becomes Isabella for a couple of days dodging her new principal while doing so. Gordo covers for her and gets himself in tuns of trouble. Read this wonderful story and find out what happens with Lizzie and her singing career and Gordo and Isabella.

The characters really jump out at you. Lizzie is so clumsy and she seems to always fall down. The characters were really believable and the story seemed to be real to me. This book is really hard to put down you always want to know what is going to happen to Lizzie and her friends. You have to pay attention very closely so you aren't lost or confused. The plot is so interesting and the ending will blow you away. I really believe any girl who reads this would want this to happen to them.

I loved this book. It is every teenagers dream. This is such an exciting book it really lets you feel like you are leaving the `dream'. I would recommend this book to teenage girls looking for a good read because they would enjoy it and keep it as one of there favorites. The book will be enjoyed by all whom read.So read this book and please with all means `enjoy'!!

The Queen of the Nile will soon be battling for historical significance with the Queen of Pop very soon. A unique take on the influence of Madonna beyond just hit records to a whole social expression that inspired other artists, feminism, and what it means to be an ambitious woman without apology.

Madonna:alot can be said about Her but Boring isn't one of them.thsi Book Explores the Many things that relate too the Artist&personna that is Madonna.this Book is Challenging&also puts Madonna into a Complete Perspective from start too finish.just like the Woman Herself it will keep you wondering more&what lays around the Corner.

Like so many, I find Madonna interesting. And I agree with the positive reviews of this book -- I really like it. The unique contribution here is the way the author discusses Madonna in ways that make "postmodern" an interesting, understandable, ans useful concept. And believe me, I am no fan of academic writing of or about the posrmodern. But this book can be highly and widely recommended.

In this book GC Guilbert shows how absolutely everything Madonna has ever done is packed with clever references. He doesn't mean that she's a plagiarist, far from it: she just uses her vast knowledge of (popular) culture, in a "postmodern" way. A fascinating read.

At last a book about Madonna that can be enjoyed by academics AND fans. There have been two or three collections of highbrow essays by various university eggheads that were a bit too hermetic. "Madonna as Postmodern Myth" is "intellectual" but crystal clear.The subtitle pretty much sums it up: Georges-Claude Guilbert does show the way the diva "rewrites" just about everything -- always cleverly -- and especially old Hollywood stars. Besides, it's a very feminist book, but a sexy feminist book (yes, it is possible). I'm sure every Cultural Studies professor is going to want to read it, as well as every Madonna fan who's ever wondered why it is exactly that makes her / him adore the "self-constructed" star, beyond the obvious: she's unique.

I think that this is one of the better Sabrina novels. It is fairly long, which makes for a thrilling page-by-page story. After a short introduction (roughly 20 pages) you get to the different sections. What happens is that The Great Clock of the Other Realm is wearing out and it will stop at midnight! If that happens, then magic will cease to exist. While the Witches Council tries to repair the clock, Sabrina knows that she must build a new one. And so, with the help of Salem, she travels through time to the 12 most important events in history. She meets many people like Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth. The reasons for this rating is because of how Nancy Holder puts a time limit on Sabrina's quest which make the story more exciting and for it's great plot and suspenseful mini-stories through out the book. Overall, this is a great book that should be bought by everyone!

i loved this book! The excitment about if Sabrina will get to make the new clack was intense! The twlve short stories were different, so they were really fun to read. I think even the beginning is already totally interesting, so you are automatically pulled right into the plot. GREAT BOOK!

This was actually quite good for a Sabrina novel. I enjoy them long, and this one was long enough. It starts out when Sabrina discovers that the Great Clock in the Other Realm is going haywire and that if it breaks down at midnight on New Years Eve, witchs all around could loose their powers for good. Frantically, the witch's council tries to fix it, but Sabrina decides to build a new one instead. To do that, she has to travel to 12 magical times in history. I won't mention them all, but I really liked the part where she went back into colonial times and when she met Queen Elizabeth, even though it only lasted a page. Buy this book. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I found this book really interesting with 12 twelve short stories about Sabrina trying to find pieces for a new clock.FABULOUS.

Millennium Madness was one of the best. The twelve short stories were a really good idea. The things that she collected to build a new clock was cool to. You should definitely read this book!

This is a great book. Even if you already work in film and tv there's something unexpected to be read. It gives you a really good heads up about on-the-set mayhem you could never really anticipate and wouldn't expect until it happens. Invaluable stuff.

Colorful and easy to read. Nice acompniment to the show. Easy to follow each misson. Cool extras, including - the radio station list and things to see and do in each state visited.

Road Rules, Road Trips gives a wonderful insight in what goes behind the first two seasons of Road Rules. It allows to not only see the process behind the missions and other aspects of the show but it allows you to get to know the chracthers behind each season in an entirely different light. While I enjoyed the television series this book showed it to me in a wonderful new light. A great read for those who want to know more about Road Rules and the people who make it. :)

I haven't seen Road Rules but I was curious about the series. The book is excellent and provides much detail into each mission and the performers. This book is much better than Road Rules Passport Abroad and Road Rules Journals (which assumes that the reader has seen Road Rules).

I am a big RR and RW fan. This book had a lot of really interesting information that you wouldn't get by just watching the show. I liked getting each person's reaction to situations. I would have liked more reaction to Mark's skydive that went wrong. All in all - a very good read for fans interested in the series.

I applaud the writer of the book for only writing about the first two seasons. They were the hands down winners for best seasons ever. It was interesting to find out everything that I didn't see on the show. The cast was also very interesting.

Yet another great book in the Murder She Wrote series, again a great sense of atmosphere is created with people and places so vividly described you could almost be there, roll on the next in the series!

I love the Murder She Wrote series, and "Provence--to die for," is no exception. I enjoyed the characters and setting for this entry in the series. Jessica travels to Provence, France, where she hopes to spend quiet time away from home. But murder follows her, as usual, and her reverie is cut short. Donald Bain and his wife, Renee, have continued a series adored by millions, and hope they persevere with Jessica's fun, and sometimes dangerous travels. Jessica Fletcher is my favorite detective in the business! I only wish she was a real person. I'd love to meet her one day!

i truly truly enjoyed this book, every page was exciting. JB i love ya thanks.....................

Although I prefer the setting of the Murder She Wrote novels in Cabot Cove, I just say that this is one of my favories. It's interesting and filled with French culture and wonderful food! Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

The older Jessica gets, the more wiser she becomes. "Provence To Die For" is one of the most mysterious books in the Murder She Wrote series. Traveling to an unfamiliar country in Jessica's latest adventure, so many readers will wish they were there with her as she stumbles upon clue after clue trying to right a wrong of a clever culprit. I couldn't put the book down, as I was taking it with me where ever I went. Chapter Three is my favorite chapter, as it depicts Jessica on a dark and lonley farmhouse surrounded with strange noises--or is it only the wind? This book is a page turner, as many readers will agree, and the best in the series. That's hard for me to acknowledge because of the earlier works by Donald Bain, and which I enjoyed immensely--"Brandy and Bullets," "A Deadly Judgment," "A Palette For Murder," "The Highland Fling Murders," "Murder on the QE2," "Murder in Moscow," "A Little Yuletide Murder," and "Knock 'em Dead."
