This is one of the best books I've ever read on any subject. It was compelling reading--I, too, couldn't put it down.
I love its honesty. Nothing was left out of this book. And yet it is not sensational or graphic. It's an honest, humane, and brave book about a terrifying time.
I'm so grateful to the author for writing it.

This book is great! I have always been interested in this subject and i don't normaly read books! I'm a junior in high school and i enjoyed this book ALOT!!! Great character plot and great ending!! I don't want to return it to the library!! Also i share the same last name!

The book I will Plant You A Lilac Tree by Laura Hillman is an excellent book. I would most likely recommend it to girls though. I would recommend it to girls because the book talks about Hannelore getting sexually assaulted and other things like her falling in love with Bernard (Dick) Hillman. I would also recommend this book because it talks about true fact that happened during the Holocaust. This book has been the best book I've ever read. One reason it is would be because she expresses her feelings about the people she loved and lost, but also how she hated what was happening to the Jewish religion. All in all if you're looking for a good read I think you should read the book I will Plant You A Lilac Tree.

This is the first-person account of Hannelore Wolff, a survivor of Nazi death camps and a Jew on Schindler's List. The story chronicles Hannelore's time when she leaves safety to accompany her mother and brothers to first a Jewish ghetto and then to a concentration camp in an effort to keep the family together. Hannelore then spends the next three years living day to day as she survives the disease, death, and horrors of the Holocaust. Her story is by turns one of luck, faith, and perseverance as she ultimately finds herself on Oskar Schindler's famous list and thus brought to the relative safety of his factory. Along the way Hannelore meets and falls in love with her future husband, Dick. Mrs. Hillman gives us a chilling account of a desperate time and helps us all to remember those who should not be forgotten. A tremendous story that will touch you deeply. Highly recommended.

One day I had nothing to read and I decided to get this book because I heard was great. It kept me on the edge of my seat through the whole book! I finished in less than two days and have read it five more times since.

I told my husband the boys were all his that morning. I had to get a breath of air. Thank God He placed this book in my hands when I reached the Christian bookstoore at the mall. It was a Godsend. Someone really understood after all. I wasn't alone and I was not a bad mother. I have read this book over and over and have given copies to other moms who think no one can understand. Thank you to Maurine Adamek.

This book served as an awesome encouragement to me and my fiancee. It got in touch with feelings that I remember from my childhood and gave me a vision of what it is going to be all about when I become a parent. I'll Do Better Tomorrow is a great reminder of what parent/child relationships are to be based upon

This is an adorable, sweet, funny, touching book written for kids but which speaks even more to parents. If you have kids, you can't help but see yourself in the pages of this little book. The artwork is great, too. I did like "Love You Forever," but as the ad says, I LOVED "I'll Do Better Tomorrow, I Promise." Excellent addition to any family's library.

Have you ever had days when your kids make you crazy? And at night, when you go in and see their sleeping little innocent bodies, you feel so badly that you were not more patient with them? This book will entertain your children and make you cry (which may entertain your children even more)!

I found this darling book several years ago, and later tried to buy another. The book was out of print and unavailable. Recently, I was showing the book to a friend and she really wanted a copy. We tracked down the author who told us the book was back in print! I am thrilled and have already purchased 3 books for friends. You will not regret this purchase!

If you want to be smart with your money, then this is the book for you! Everything is detailed simply with easy to follow examples. The techniques used are easily applied to real life situations. With this book, planning your financial future isnt as difficult as you may think.

This book is a great resource for anyone planning for their financial future! The examples and tools in the book provide the reader with a clear understanding of many financial areas that are overwhelming to the average person. The book has great examples and is written in such a way that it is easy to understand.

When I heard the title of the book I was intrigued because the name says it all. I was pleasantly surprized by the how content was easy to read and apply in real life. I have learned so much about many topics and specifically benefited from the home ownership process. Although I had been a homeowner already I learned many new things that bettered my situation. I can't wait to put the rest of the book's information to use.

My husband and I are both over 75. We have homes in Micigan and Florida and need to sell both and purchase another in the Kentucky area. Frankly,we didn't know where to start. A friend of ours recommend that we take the time to read this book and I am really glad we did. The book explained, step by step, what we needed to do to get the most from our homes while protecting ourselves. It then went on to help us maximize our buying potential. I would recommend this book to retires and first time buyers as well.

Having no formal education in finance I have had to depend on advisors and books for what I know on this subject. From no single source have I received such as wealth of information as this book. The author has presented the information in an easy to read style and has made it very approachable. I would recommend this book be made part of your financial library and will repurchase it when it becomes available via hardback or paperback.

This book has blessed my life and a few of my friends who has it or has read the book. Angela is straight to the point and she breaks things down for your understanding. If you desire a closeness with God and you are tired of satan's tactics this is the book for you. It doesn't matter where you come from or what you have done "I'm Fed Up With Your Mess" will bless you.

1st thing Angie I would like to thank you for using the KJV which makes the WORD more understandable for some of use old schoolers.
2nd Putting this book down was one of the hardest things for me to do. I shouted, cried and rejoiced in ways I can not put on paper. Thanks for helping me recieve my deliverance.

I love you My friend and My sister in Christ. Danielle Davis

The book was very inspiring and was a great personal testimony of her struggles and how she overcame them with the help of the Lord! Would recommend the book to anyone.

I must say, It's great for your first book!
I identified with your book in so many ways. Your book has inspired me, encouraged me and gave me confirmation of what God has been speaking to me in my own circumstances. Thank you for being obedient to God's Will by writing this book.

This is absolutely one of my favorite books. Could not put it down. Linda Nichols captivated my interest right away and it was apparent from the beginning that there was a great message in this book.

I have just discovered Linda Nichols, and this is the second book I have read by her. I am yet to be disappointed. I am someone who loves to read, but I quickly get impatient with books that give too much information or not enough. She keeps me interested. Her pace is excellent, and her characters are believable.

I read extensively, usually at least a couple of books per week, and this book was fabulous. I have read many an average book in my time, but this book would never be in that category. It grabbed you from the beginning page and didn't let go until the last sentence. The author tells a wonderful story, and her descriptive writing makes you feel the plight of each character. I couldn't put the book down. I can't wait to read this author's other books.

I've read all of Nichols' books, and must say she is one of the best! She uses the most vivid descriptions, keeping my attention from start to finish! Months later, I still find myself going back to reference inspirational messages that I want to share with others! Highly recommend!

A wonderful book! I was divorced 10 years ago and I must say this book helped me look at my life after the divorce from a whole new perspective. After finishing it I felt as if I were looking at the world and my life with different eyes. It help to reaffirm my faith and made me see how much bitterness had been weighing me down.

This is a detail review of Garfield. Not only Garfield but also the products of Garfield in whole world. If you didn't know much about garfield, you can find a lot of information in the book. It's a great book for Garfield's Fans.

If your a Garfield fan this book is a must! It's great!! It gives you lots of info on what's become of Garfield over the years. Jim Davis is the "King of Humor" to have come up with so many funny ideas. I was a fan when I was growing up and now my step-kids are all fans thanks to all my old books.
I bought this book for the kids but I ended up reading it as well. This book is the link of where Garfield came from, and celabrates his wonderful 25 years.
Thanks for making people laugh for so many years all around the world Jim Davis!

This book makes a wonderful gift for anyone! You'd wish you got one for yourself too!

If there is one thing from my childhood that has remained a part of my life as an adult, it is my love for that fat, orange, cranky tabby cat named Garfield. I recently received "In Dog Years I'd Be Dead: Garfield at 25" as a present. It is a coffee table book that looks back at the history of the fat, orange tabby. This book is an extremely comprehensive look at everything Garfield. It goes into details about everything from commercial ads to the classic cartoon series "Garfield and Friends". As a diehard Garfield fan and an artist, I appreciated seeing the earlier, rough sketches of Garfield strips. This book may be a couple of years old but it certainly covers pretty much everything that the fat cat has given to the public. I especially loved seeing some of the more sillier photos of Jim Davis and Garfield. Another favorite moment is the section with all the counterfeit Garfield products. For some reason, I find something fascinating about something as ugly as those counterfeit products. "In Dog Years I'd Be Dead..." is the ideal coffee table book for diehard Garfield fans. Great intro by columnist Dave Barry.

This book is soooo awesome! it was so cool to see what the old garfield comics looked like! I recomend this book for any garfield fan! Soooo AWESOME!!!

Extremely cleverly cartoon with a wonderful "cast" of believable sea creatures. Pure delight and full of great humor.

Shermans Lagoon has to be the best comic I have ever read! (and trust me I read a lot of comics) This book deserves no less than 10 stars,it is so funny because of its cast of characters. They range from a fish genious to a big mean giant squid. But the top character has to be Hawethorne the hermit crab who seems to endlessly take advantage of Sherman the shark. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One word describes the book--------FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY----OK, that's three words.

This is a really fun compilation. They did a great job selecting the cartoons for this one. If they start a thread, they finish it.

I love these - such a fun spot on the comics page. Hawthorne reminds us that sneaky lives everywhere.

I read it during my undergraduate, it was the course book for the thoery of automata course. More recently when I tried the popular "Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation" by Hopcroft et al. for the purpose of revising the concepts, I realized how great this book is. It is definitely a better book than Hopcroft et al's, with in-depth explanations of all topics, lots of examples and exercises and in a writing style very friendly for the novice readers. Very good work!

I must say this is one of the best books I have ever read. The auther is humorous and insightful. He manages to take very abstract concepts and explain them in clear concrete terms and metaphors.

This an excellent book. Basically, the whole point of it is to mathematically define what a computer is and prove that it works. The author does this by defining and manipulating mathematical alphabets and languages without resorting to any kind of advanced math. Starting from nothing, the whole thing leads up to Turing Machines. More specifically, according to the Preface, the goals of the book are:

"(1) to introduce a student of Computer Science to the need for and the working of mathematical proof; (2) to develop facility with the concepts, notations, and techniques of the theories of Automata, Formal Languages, and Turing machines; and (3) to provide historical perspective on the creation of the computer with a profound understanding of some of its capabilities and limitations."

The author did a wonderful job of it. Plus, unlike almost all other computer/math books I've read, this book is almost enjoyable to read. Again, as stated in the Preface:

"This book is written for students with no presumed background of any kind. Every mathematical concept used is introduced from scratch. Extensive examples and illustrations spell out everything in detail to avoid any possibility of confusion."

Astonishingly, those are all true statements. At a guess, I'd say that almost anyone interested in computers could get through this book without undue stress. To make it more meaningful, I'd suggest (only suggest) prerequisites of having programmed a computer and knowing some discrete math. From that point of view, it's odd that as of last year, this book was used in Florida State University's (FSU's) COT 4420: "Theory of Computation" course, which, obviously, is a 4000 level course requiring various prerequisites that put it out of the reach of all but senior (or graduate) level students.

Now, with all that glowing out of the way, there are a couple of small problems with the book. The first is simply that the exercises don't have any solutions. For the self-studyer, that's a bad thing. In a school teaching environment, it's probably acceptable, though. The second problem is that after getting through the book, I simply have to ask: "So what? WHY should I learn this?" Again, in the Preface, the author states:

"Leaving aside the obvious worth of knowledge for its own sake, the terminology, notations, and techniques of Computer Theory are necessary in the teaching of courses on computer design, Artificial Intelligence, the analysis of algorithms, and so forth. Of all the programming skills undergraduate students learn, two of the most important are the abilities to recognize and manipulate context-free grammars and to understand the power of the recursive interaction of parts of a procedure. Very little can be accomplished if each advanced course has to begin at the level of defining rules of production and derivations."

But, in my experience, I have to say that except for one reference in one other book I've read, I've never seen any of this stuff used. Even more, I've never known anyone who even knew of anyone who used (or even knew of) any of it. EVERYTHING has been done at a much higher level of abstraction than alphabets, languages, and various levels of algorithms and machines up to Turing Machines. I'm not saying that the material in this book isn't used SOMEWHERE. But, I'd honestly have liked to have seen actual, specific, concrete cases: they'd be fascinating.

So, factoring those two nits in, I rate this book at 4 stars out of 5. If those two things don't bother you, then you could easily consider this a 5 star book.

The book has one important attribute: it's clear, undoubtedly. Having a minimum of prerequisites, I think there's no way to not understand what Prof. Cohen says through its pages. It makes the job of learning this part of theory easier than any other text.
But ... but I can't totally agree with Cohen's crusade against formalism. I agree that the first target of a book should be to clearly transmit the intended knowledge, and Cohen perfectly succeeds in this. But formalism too has its importance, thereafter. A compact and clear formalism helps to communicate efficiently, and moreover unambiguously. Like in mathematics, the first, important thing is to understand. Yet, there's no way for you to efficiently work with math without using any kind of formalism, should it be more or less "standard".
That's it: a very powerful book for a "profound" understanding of the subject; a bit more of natural formalism would make it a "complete" understanding also, and the book a five stars one.

This is a great book. I read the first edition many years ago, and it too was great. Everything is explained in order, and explained well - it is very accessable, even to the casual reader interested in the topics presented. It was through this book that I was able to actually write software that demonstrated Kleene's Theorem, (RE=NFA=DFA) converting between Regular Expressions, NFA's and DFA's.

Unlike many textbooks, reading this one is actually FUN. By the time I was done, I felt that I understood everything that was presented. That's how good this text is.

this book is down-to-earth and fun to read. I gave it to my two daughters and they enjoyed reading it. Linda Chandler makes personal finance a snap. Her examples are easy to emulate. This book should be required reading for every girl in high school and college. Often, no one teaches them how to deal with money and the principles of managing their spending, savings and investments.

LINDA CHANDLER HAS WRITTEN THE BOOK THAT OFFERS THE BEST FINANCIAL ADVICE FOR WOMEN OF ALL SEASONS! Author/Speaker/Financial consultant Linda Chandler has penned a remarkable book that will be of immense help to all women of all ages. Get this book today . . . it will assist you in grasping the main issues of personal finance facing women in the new millenium. --A retired banker in Miami

Author Linda Chandler has done a great service to women of all generations. She has broken down financial concepts and principles in terms we can all understand. I especially liked her advice on questions to ask you attorney, accountant, banker, insurance agent, securities broker, and financial planner. Three big cheers and a big hug to Linda from this granny. Who said you can't teach old dogs?

What a fun and delightful read! I was surprised how down-to-earth, witty and entertaining this book was. From hearing about Chandler's background, being a high-powered financial executive and former Senior Vice President of the pretigious securities firm Sutro & Company--I thought maybe this book would be technical, complex and full of financial jargon. But it was the opposite. Linda broke down financial principles into everyday examples we can all relate to. I'm giving this book to all my women friends and my daughter. --Project Manager of major U.S. software firm, Atlanta.

In my opinion, IT'S JUST A KISS AWAY: A WOMAN'S GUIDE TO WINNING THE MONEY GAME written by Linda Chandler is the most delightful personal finance book I have ever read. I loved the chapter "SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP" . . . cuz I saw so much of me in those lines. Linda has a way of making a very serious subject fun, while she educates you on a new approach that is practical and really works! I have given this book to my daughters, my granddaughters, and many of my lady friends.

A must read book if you grew up in the 50's and 60's. You will laugh and cry as you read the true and hilarious adventures of Roger and his friends. It will make you yurn for the good ol days. I read the book in one night, and have read it again.

Roger really nails it with this book and I should know because I was there. Roger was my best buddy. He physically pulled my lazy carcass out of bed each summer morning in 1958 & 59 and dragged me to swim team practice. (I was a night person; Roger was a round-the-clock person.) I devoured the book in one sitting and have been reminiscing ever since. The characters we grew up with and the things we got into could easily provide material for two or three more books! Let's have'em Rog!
