Back cover reads:

is living a nightmare. Somewhere in her past--a past she cannot recall--is a secret she is terrified of uncovering.
*Paul Temple
is fighting his own demons. His wife is back! Or is she? Gone is the conniving, devious shrew who'd made his life hell. In her place, a stong, loving woman he doesn't know...and doesn't trust.

This wonderful book becomes a movie! Justine Bateman and Peter Outerbridge star in this movie premiering on July 11th on the Movie Channel!

I read this book some time ago...yet it continues to stay in my thoughts as an all-time favorite. I have probably re-read this book about four or five times, and each time, I still cry at the ending. For anyone who has ever struggled in an area of their lives that they thought would never be healed, this is a book that can show you that you are not alone... and that love conquers all.

Once again, this terrific series had me on the edge of my seat. I feel completely in love with this story. Geralad is his usual "realist" self. Helga is the obsessive, yet genuinely in love with Arnold, gal that she is and we love her for. Arnold is his ususal optimistic self. It's LAUGH OUT LOUD funny and Helga will make you say WOOOOOOOOAH (you'll know when, and I loved the scene). I personally didn't quite understand the ending with Helga and Arnold, if you did, please post your reply in a posting. don't e-mail me, I won't read it. Love Hey Arnold! Helga rocks!

A very colorful display of action, adventure, and romance. It has playful characters and great effects, with an ever-twisting plot and fun dialogue.

I got it and I COULD NOT put it down! I thought it was really good. Except it was missing a few parts. Like in the commercials, there were parts shown that weren't in the book. Despite that though, it was really good and interesting. Before I read it, i couldn't understand why it was rated PG but now, after reading it, I did. Why they put that stuff in a ... movie is something that I have no clue of but I can't controll what they do over there. Anyway, if your thinking about buying it, I think you should.

My child loved this book. Unlike the other Arthur chapter books, the books from the "Good Sports" series have not been shown on "Arthur" on tv.

I read Arthur And The Pen-Pal Playoff. I think this book is great. I think little boys and girls will want to read this wonderful book. This book is great for nine year olds to read.
Little kids will want to read this book over and over again, it's an adventure. This is a way to keep young ones away from the TV. I do recommend this book.

When Arthur talks up his basketball skills in a letter to a pen-pal that he was assigned to write for class, he feels that he's in over his head. His pen-pal writes back that he's a great basketball player as well and then he learns that his pen-pal is the lunch-lady's grandson. Next thing he knows, Mrs. McGrady (the lunch-lady) arranges them to play a one-on-one basketball game. The thing that's great about this story is that it's a situation that many readers can identify with. Eventually, Arthur's forced to face his situation head-on, but he's not the only one...

This is the last book of the "Arthur Good Sports" series. Whether any more books will be published in this series is not yet known, but the six-year 2001 set make a great addition to the "Arthur" series.

I got this book because I'm a fan of Kennedy. As I expected I got a very good overview of Kennedy's acting career. But what surprised me is how this book places Kennedy's work in historical context. It's a remarkable achievement. The pages written by Kennedy's daughter are a great addition -- poignant and richly detailed.

This book brings to life a time when character actors were an integral part of a film. Arthur Kennedy's role in each of his films demonstrates the vitality of the character actor. His ability to give meaning to a scene by just a gesture, glance or reflection of his voice made the difference of caring about the story and its characters. He made each one come to life. From the beginning of his career on stage at the Globe Theatre in New York in 1937 to the end of his career in a film called Grandpa, in 1989, a span of 52 years, Kennedy gave us a quality of acting that even Laurence Olivier called him a "lovely" actor during their production of Becket in 1961. The book is a treasure.

It's about time that someone wrote a book about one of the greatest, and sometimes overlooked, American actors of the 20th Century. This book is one of the best film biographies I have ever read for two simple reasons (besides the fact that it is extremely well written and researched): 1) It is about the man and his WORK - and I emphasize W-O-R-K as apposed to G-O-S-S-I-P.
The main thrust is focused on the richeness that he has brought to the screen and shared with his audience. 2) It ties his life and work by interjecting what was going on in the world at each major step in his illustrious career. This is a very illuminating device for me as I believe that artists cannot separate themselves from the events and idiologies of their time. For actors, choices such as the roles they accept or reject and, needless to say, the films themselves are a reflection of their times. So this becomes a vaulable avenue by which one can better understand the artist.
The research that must have gone into writing this book, and the careful attention to detail is impressive. This a book that should set the standard for other books on actors and one that should be part of anyone's bookshelf if they are seriously interested in the history, art and legacy of a great actor. My only critisism is really directed toward the way the book is promoted. On the surface, it appears that the publisher is bent of promoting Kennedy as an actor in Westers when his greatest roles (such as in "Elmer Gantry and Lawrence of Arabia") were clearly not. So don't let the cover of the book deceive you. This is an exceptinal book about a very great artist who left an impressive body of work for us to enjoy. Meredith Macsoud, we can never thank you enough!

As The World Turns is one of the longest running soap operas. This book is a wonderful gift to the numerous fans of the show. It has beautiful pictures and poignant stories about the characters, some who have been on the show from the beginning.

Whether you are a long-time fan of As The World Turns, or a new fan of this CBS daytime drama, you will want to add this book to your library. Lifelong fans of the show will enjoy re-living the rich history of As The World Turns, and new fans will enjoy learning the history of the plot twists and turns of this popular daytime drama.

The book is chock-full of pictures of cast members, and includes special sections on As The World Turns weddings, personal anecdotes from the actors, and features pieces on former ATWT actors who have achieved superstardom. A wonderful feature of the book is a complete cast list.

If you watch As The World Turns, you must add this book to your personal library.

Yes, yes, I have been a fan of this show since I was 13, so it's a really guilty pleasure revisiting all the storylines that so enthralled me. This book has great pictures, and covers the entire history of the show from 1956-1996. That's a lot of twins, kidnappings, murders, and family drama. What comes through best about this book is its sense of history. I truly will always have a place in my heart for this show, and the Hughes family.

PS... even more fun is seeing the old pictures of Julianne Moore and Meg Ryan, both major characters in the 80's...

All of Bruce Hershenon's books are worth a dozen times what he sells them for; flawless, stunning reproductions of great movie posters. Buy them ALL!

What a book! All the poster/lobby card compilations by Hershenson and Allen are great, particularly Volume 10, Serial Movie Posters, which I suspect is their best seller to date, soon to be topped by this one.

We can argue about the "B Movie" in the title, since many of the posters and lobby cards shown are for exploitation, road show, and drive-in films, and there are some A features to be found in these pages as well. But that's a quibble.

What images! These were intended to get the farmers off their wagons and into the theatre, and they do serve that purpose. Have a gander at the incredible poster for I LOVE TROUBLE (39), a masterpiece in several senses of the word and from many points of view. The poster for TOMCATS (237) exhibits a very poor understanding of human anatomy but it would cause any healthy male of any age to fumble unconsciously in the general direction of the fly of his trousers. A number of posters and lobby cards feature the immortal Mamie Van Doren, protruding further than seems humanly possible (100, for instance) and Jayne Mansfield (for example 112) is no slouch along those lines herself.

I'd love to have seen a poster for BOP GIRL GOES CALYPSO starring Judy Tyler, but one can't have everything! Highest possible recommendation, and keep those hands away from that fly.

This volume from the series of books from Bruce is fantastic.The beatifull artistic designs of the posters contained in this volume are true classic examples of the fond memories I have from my youth when drive-ins were at the peak of popularity. Although the films were Ed Wood grade z type shlock fare the posters promoting them were class a in artistic design. The general rule of thumbs used by us frequenting the weekly drive-ins was the more outragius off the wall display on those posters(usualy a scanty cladd female and verball quotation to entice the movie going individuals) the most likely the film is a real turkey.Many of us loved making the weekly treck to the driv-ins just to see if the latest presentation could topple the king Plan 9 From Outer Space in realy bad filmmaking.The color posters contained in this volume all are examples of classic poster designing that sadly is lacking in "bland" fare that has been created for film posters from the late 80's to the present day.I highly recomend this gem of a book to any lover of film posters, the price for it is "dirt cheap pocket change" considering the outstanding content it has.A truely unique one of a kind book that I long have searched for and untill now, was never available.

One of my favorite novels. Davies is harsh -- no fluff here -- but his writing is powerful and honest. Read it.

I ordered a copy of B Monkey just a few weeks back. I finally picked it up and couldn't but the darn thing down.It's style and voice, how he gives you Alan's point of view and B's. Heavens I didn't want it to end.

I first picked up a copy of B Monkey almost a year ago and was wonderfied with this book. The story of Alan Furnace and his beloved 'B. Monkey' (READ MY NAME) is anything but your average paperback love story. Both the story and the language of the book pull no punches. B Monkey is raw and unforgiving with it's truthfulness and candor, yet it reads and feels like the love story it is. If you're sick and tired of the average sap-fest you find in most love stories, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK! You won't be disappointed!

My 14 month old loves to look at out Sesame Street screen saver. Until I found this series, she didn't have any other real pictures to look at. She is always intrigued by this book. It combines her 2 favorite things: babies and the muppets.

... But my baby *adores* it. She literally giggles with delight when I get it out. She loves looking at the babies; and it is not just any babies, I have lots of books with babies. Something about the babies in THIS BOOK really just clicks with her. We have read it over, and over, and over again. BTW I started reading this book with my baby when she was about 6 months old and she is now 11 months old. :)

Well, if I had to pick out a book, I wouldn't have picked out this one, but all my kids have loved this one to pieces! That's all that counts so I give this a 5 star!

Stephanie and Michelle had to watch the triplets that live around the corner. The three children seem like little angels. The two sisters thought this is going to be an easy job. Boy, were they wrong! On the day of the job,the triplets' mother took everyone to the Imaginarium -- a museum in town. And the triplets run wild! Can Stephanie and Michelle keep the triplets in line? Or will their babysitting job be a total disaster?

Stephanie needs a helper to babysit triplets. Michelle's helped with one, she's helped with the twins, it's easy, right? The problem - it's not in a home, but a crowded museum they must watch them. The bigger problem - Michelle brings a furry visitor which just adds to the hijinks.

this i very cool, i give it 5 stars and if you like "Full House" you will DEFINATELY like this book :)

I found this book a welcome gift. It was very helpful when picking out films I could enjoy with the grand-children. Thank-you, Willie, for the often humorous reviews.

I sometimes see Willie on our local FOX-TV station, and he's very easy to relate to.

I just received this as a gift, and it's a great, humorous resource for movies you might not think about first when visiting the video store or scanning those on-demand listing on cable. A lot of the review had me laughing out loud. I always enjoy reading his current reviews online. A great resource for your film library.

Movie critic Willie Waffle has produced a delightful guide for people who want to get past the "new releases" shelf at the video store and find something that may have missed the multiplex. Waffle's astonishing range and engaging descriptions make this book an indispensible reference and as much fun as the movies he writes about.
