I watched Mondo Enduro and Terra Circa so I though I would share my review of them here as well, the story is of the same adventure and its spectacular!!!!!

I've watched the Mondo Enduro dvd and I was so impressed by it I that I also watched its companion follow up dvd Terra Circa. They are a wonderful insight into the round the world adventures of a group friends on their motorcycles. Filled with the real world flavor of such a trip, it is amazing to watch as this adventure unfolds. Beautiful scenery, diverse culture, and true character fill this intriguing story. It seems that most of us dream of such adventures, however life always seems to find a way to take other turns and most of us never realize those dreams. These fellows did a great job of documenting the trip both in video and print in such a way that we get to at least experience part of it with them. My wife and kids also had a great time watching and its perfectly geared for wholesome family entertainment. Do yourself a favor and spend an afternoon traveling the world with them from your couch. I highly recommend it, and Terra Circa, well worth watching for sure. I do hope these guys take future adventures and I'll be the first in line to see them as well.

We are huge fans of Mondo Enduro. These guys are amazing and oh, the stories they tell. It is a long read and it is hard to put down.(both of which are good things) Also there are a lot of British colloquialisms which can be a bit confusing but tend to add to the experience. Even with that, they are hilarious. I would recommend this book to anyone who has ridden a motorcycle or gone camping. There is an abundance of both. Austin Vince's editing of this manuscript was excellent and you can hear his voice inserted throughout. We eagerly await the publishing of the Terra Circa book. Both movies were great. The Mondo Enduro book has been even better. Thank you Austin Vince. Thank you Mondo Enduro. Result.

In my search for a better understanding of ADD and chemical addiction, I found A Mother's Diary both informative and compelling. The author reveals her emotional journey to understand her sons and their illness, while opening many doors for parents with children of all ages, who may have these symptoms and never been diagnosed.

As one who works in the field of addiction and recovery, I highly recommend this book. Despite the tremendous strides which have been made in the awareness and treatment of chemical dependency, countless lives continue to be lost. This book brings to light the often hidden yet dangerous connection between ADD/ADHD and chemical addiction, as well as the trials and tribulations of a mother desperately seeking answers for herself and her two sons. This author's courage and strength are a real inspiration and tribute to the human spirit.

Interesting portrait of Hollywood in the early-talkie years

Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2003-04-02

The late writer-director Edward Bernds has become a familiar name to movie comedy fans, through his association with The Three Stooges, The Bowery Boys, the Blondie series, and a host of other comedy stars. But Mr. Bernds made his reputation as a recording engineer during the early-talkie years, and was the number-one sound man at Columbia Pictures until he took on more creative duties.

This book chronicles Bernds's early years, from his first radio jobs through his successful association with director Frank Capra. Bernds was a stickler for accuracy, and drew upon his old diaries to confirm his excellent memory for facts and faces. He was just as careful to spell things out for the reader, explaining a technical process or a business practice to amplify the point he was making. Bernds's attention to detail makes for good, solid reading.

This writer was disappointed that the book stops when the author stopped working as a soundman. But it's understandable because Bernds, in his thoroughness, would have written a mammoth volume if his entire career were to be discussed. Joseph McBride recognizes the "missing" material by appending a more general interview with Bernds, conducted by McBride and Leonard Maltin.

Film buffs and historians will enjoy "Mr. Bernds." For those who want Bernds's observations and recollections of his Three Stooges years, read "The Columbia Comedy Shorts" by Ted Okuda and Edward Watz.

Review Date: 1999-09-04

Edward Bernd's autobiography is a wonderful insight into the life and career of a Hollywood talent whose career lay behind the camera.

The book only covers the first half of his life, from his childhood in Chicago to his career as a top sound engineer at Columbia Studios. Bernds' engineering career encompassed the films of Frank Capra (Capra always requested Ed for his team), the many classics of Moe, Larry and Curly, and many major Columbia feature productions through 1945.

The reader is left wanting more, particularly the details of Bernds' new post-1945 career of writer and director for the Three Stooges, the Blondie series, the Bowery Boys and Elvis Presley. But, that's another book. Right, Ed?

A Wonderful Story of Early Hollywood

Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 1999-05-15

Have you ever dreamed you could make it big in Hollywood? Countless dreams have been shattered in this town, but one young man made it, and this is his story. Rarely will one encounter a more modest telling of a life's story. Yet Ed's tale rings so true and so right that you can't help but be drawn in. From making a crystal radio set as a teen, to snaring the top sound position with Frank Capra, Mr. Bernds entertains, informs, and delights us in the telling.

One of the reasons why this book is so fresh is that its author works not just from memory, but from detailed diaries. The tale of his trip west to Hollywood in a broken down jalopy fairly crackles. Genuinely good story telling accents this lively account of the early talkie era. Recommended to anyone who would enjoy a stroll through the inside of Hollywood, spoken by a real movie sound pioneer.

The Golden Age of Hollywood from an Insider

Helpful Votes: 3 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 1999-12-13

When Hollywood first started to shine golden, Ed Bernds was there. He knew and worked with the stars, the directors and the writers, and contributed no little himself to Hollywood's Golden Age. In "Mr. Bernds Goes To Hollywood," Ed tells -- with near total recall -- of his journey to the movie capital in the earliest days of sound (which was his speciality) and of his career at Columbia Studios, the King of "Poverty Row," with the likes of Frank Capra, Clark Gable and the feared studio head Harry Cohn. In telling his story, Bernds invokes a bygone era of Hollywood glamor with an inside knowledge that few today possess. Necessary books on Hollywood are few and far between, but "Mr. Bernds Goes To Hollywood" fills the bill.

The "Ensucklopedia" is definitely the funniest book I've ever read. If you used to like watching Beavis & Butt-Head, you gotta get this book. Beavis & Butt-Head go through the letters of the alpabet talking about different things on every letter. For example, in the C's they will talk about Chicks and Concerts Beavis & Butt-Head style.

Every page of this book, or "Ensucklopedia," is hilarious and I recommend it to anybody.

"My 50 Years in Hollywood: the Story of a 22-year-old" is a coy and endearing look at the oddities of life in LaLa Land. One can only assume that the story is partly autobiographical, which makes the myriad fables more appealing in their realism - like when the protagonist climbs up a lamppost to retrieve parts of a precious script for her boss. The book also exposes a less cynical side of Hollywood through a caring and experienced mentor and a thoughtful (although slightly oafish) boyfriend. "My Fifty Years" is a quick and amusing read that will have you chuckling all the way though.

My 50 years is an entertaining, candid and very funny insight into the Hollywood that most do not hear about. The author's quirky stories make for a very fun, fast read that will have you smiling and laughing along the way. In addition, the author's juxtaposition of the old Hollywood 50 years ago versus the Hollywood of today augments the protagonist's growth and maturing process throughout the book. I recommend this book to anybody, adolescent to adult, who is looking for a light, fun but meaningful journey through an atypical life in Hollywood.

I expected My 50 Years in Hollywood to be yet another book about Hollywood but it ended up being one of the most refreshing take on the subject I have read in years. I am naturally drawn to books about LA because I live here, but I recommend this book to anyone, no matter where they live. The story is told through the eyes of 22 year old industry fledgling, Rachel Reiss. Her mentor, Al Burton, a famous Hollywood producer. Vignette after vignette, Reiss takes you on rides that make you laugh, think, and cry. This book is good for those in the know and that want to be in the know about Hollywood and the industry. I loved reading this book.

When I first saw the title "My 50 Years in Hollywood" I thought this book was going to be a true insider's view of the underbelly of Hollywood - what I got was that and so much more. The story, or stories rather (the book is a series of vignettes), is told through the wide eyes of a fresh-faced 22 year old woman, just out of college and thrust into the sometimes intense, sometimes wacky and always fascinating world of Al Burton, one of television's legendary producers. We follow Rachel from television pitch meetings to taximdermists, her story sprinkled with wit and wisdom. "My 50 Years in Hollywood" is a MUST READ for anyone who wants to know what life is really like behind the scenes in Hollywood.

It's amazing how much we don't know about the lifes of our favorite stars. You just assume they pop up overnight, but what actually goes in making of the star like Neve Campbell few people know. The hard work, dedication and ability to take risk is absolutely unparallel, I recommend this book to everyone who thinks, that becoming an actress is just luck and good fortune. I think it's the only book on Neve and what a great one to have. By the way the pictures are very good.

Nobody Much is a delightful, humorous tale about an endearing woman and her relationship with the instant family she acquired by marrying a widower. His three children were at the stage of life when they were getting married and starting families. This transplanted city dweller and former actress became involved with all the trials and tribulations of young families and managed to become beloved by all the members of the two generations younger than her husband. Barbara McIntyre has a lovely sense of humor and it is easy to relate to her and her mother-in-law's situation. It is a good book to read when you want something light that you can just relax and enjoy.

Hair, clothes, boys, and fudge

Helpful Votes: 3 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 2003-02-20

Barbara McIntyre may be the first person ever to write a flattering portrait of her mother-in-law. The lead character in the book, Margaret McIntyre, is thoroughly likeable--funny, street-smart, compassionate, and though she cares immensely about how her hair looks and which bracelet and earrings set to wear to the horse races, she's utterly devoid of airs. Maybe this is because Margaret spent most of her life as a career girl. She had her moments of glamour, like joining the Zeigfield Follies fresh from Southern Illinois and entertaining in New York speakeasies. But she also had her share of routine jobs, like pushing face creams for the formidable Estee Lauder. The highs and the lows taught Margaret to keep things in perspective, and above all, to laugh. We laugh with her.

In her mid-fifties, Margaret married Mac McIntyre, a successful businessman she'd known since they were children. Margaret's relationship with her new extended family is particularly noteworthy, because she seems to have been universally adored. The secret may be that she never had children of her own. With no "entitlement issues," Margaret was free to treat every member of her large extended family--even the little ones--like interesting people in their own right. It worked. Whenever anyone wanted advice, they invariably turned to Margaret.

The book gets better as you progress, and the end makes you feel sad indeed to say goodbye to a great lady. What I especially liked was how the author made Margaret's attitude about seemingly banal things (like hair, clothes, and fudge) reflect a larger attitude about life itself: that it's there to enjoy as much as possible.

If you had been raised in southern Illinois 100 years ago, and you were ambitious, talented, personable and hell-bent-for-leather, you might have followed in the footsteps of Margaret McIntyre, who followed her heart to the theater stages of New York, had a successful career as a Ziegfield girl, speakeasy performer, silent movie accompanist, and stage actress, and then gave it all up to live on a Long Island "Gentleman's Farm" with the true love of her life. That she didn't do this until she was in her fifties was the reason she inherited 3 step children, their spouses, and 12 step-grandchildren, all of whom adored her and continually looked to her for guidance, perspective, encouragement, and just plain laughs. It was her sense of humor that would initially win people over, a sharp, black humor that sprang from the characters and adventures of her youth in Benton, Illinois, an old coal-mining town that seemed to exist in the Antebellum South well into the 20th century. But her upbringing also gave her strength, resilience, and eternal optimism that no matter how bad or crazy or unfair things seemed, she had definitely seen worse! And of course, she had learned how to deal with the twists and turns of life, and would eagerly share her experience and expertise with any who might seek a little enlightenment, Benton-style. She was down-to-earth, unpretentious, self-deprecating, and completely lovable, and this exceptional portrait of her life and times offers a quick-moving, intimate glimpse into a simpler age, when often the most important question of the day was, What did you do to your hair and what shall we have for dessert tonight? And yet hidden in the straightforward anecdotes of sumptious Thanksgiving dinners, hairdresser's appointments, elegant teas, or the twist and perils of a grandchild's love life, an approach to life, an attitude for how to live emerges that is instructive to us all, particularly in these fast, troubled times that are so lacking in style. After reading this, you will never again underestimate the importance of Family, Friends and Food!

This is an excellent book for ALL of us AMC fans: I'm pretty much a novice and it really gave me a good background and tidbits. It helped me learn the history and about characters who were gone before I started watching. It really helped put pieces of the puzzle together. My sister is a veteran and she was kept going "I remember that!" or "No way! Even I didn't know that!!!" And, it has great pictures. I recommend it for those of you who starting watching in the 1970's, and for AMC fans who were born in the 1970's.

More substantial story than "trivia"

Hyperion released this book in October 1997, and it includes the "GH" spinoff, "Port Charles." Its author, who says he's been a "GH" fan since 1978, has also written "The Soap Opera Book of Lists" and "The Soap Opera Encyclopedia." Calling it a "trivia book" would seem to reduce its relevance and substance, as it really is a wealth of behind-the-scenes info about the show. The book includes black-and-white stills from ABC scattered throughout (it's sanctioned by ABC Daytime Press). Chapters feature celebrity appearances on the show, famous fans of the show, real-life romances of the stars, real-life names of the stars and more. The book's contents are also indexed at the end. (Oh, and there ARE a few "trivia" quizzes at the end of chapters!)

For GH fans old and new alike

This book has a lot of the show history along with trivia questions. Yes, the answers are included *grin*. If you are a long time viewer, you will enjoy going back over the highlights thru the years. The trivia questions are fun to test your knowledge of the soap.

For new viewers, this is a great way to catch up on past story of your favorite characters. See why Luke and Cassadines have fueded. Learn about Laura and her mother Leslie. There are several pictures from the show, but be aware, they are black and white.

I am the list owner of a GH fan group and I use this book to give weekly questions to the list. The members love seeing who will send in the correct answer first. Some who have viewed for many years have been stumped on occassion.

If GH is your show, this book is a must. It would make a really nice gift for someone you know who is a fan, too.

Finally, the spiritual side of the news...!

This collection of inspiring stories by this award winning LDS broadcast journalist, is hopefully not Art Rascon's last compilation effort. Rascon's journalist wit and his compassionate and profound understanding of people combine to set the stage for his spiritual back-stories of the several memorable events he covered as a CBS news correspondent during the later half of the 1990's. Highly recommended reading for members of all faiths.

A GREAT BOOK

This book is the greatest! I'm not under 13 but I'm writing in this space anyways... I read this book and it is very insperational! I love how he shared his experiences of his life and his news stories and tied it in with his belief and church standards. It's a great book and recomend it to everyone! I love the story of the him getting stuck in a locker by some of his "friends". It was sad and mooved me. I also like how he always followed what the church wanted him to do. I believe this man is a great person! I recommend you reading this fantastic book of truth!

In this book, Art Rascon CBS news corespondent shares faith promoting stories about his career as a journalist and the stories he has covered. It is extremely well written. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it. I especialy liked the story of how he got locked in a school locker for over an hour, how could kids be so mean? Buy it.
