The Second Edition of Whaddaya Say is fantastic!Review Date: 2002-10-22
I'm amazed by one thing in particular -- although the Second Edition of Whaddaya Say has 30% more pages and there are three cassettes now instead of two, the price hasn't gone up. I don't know why the price hasn't increased, but it seems like a great bargain to get a beautifully updated bestselling listening book for the same price as the prior version!
I don't see how anyone can really learn listening comprehension without this book.

Back in love againReview Date: 2003-11-01
After a disastrous first marriage her daughter Nia's father, Imani, the protagonist, has given up on men. When she is summoned to her daughter's guidance counselor's office, the last thing Imani expects to find is Braxton, an extremely attractive 6'1" head turner, who tickles her fancy but raises her ire. Before long they develop an off again on again romance punctuated with satisfying sexual encounters.
After a spiritual awakening, Imani starts having moral misgivings about the direction their relationship is taking and opts to end the affair. Braxton on the other hand, is not ready for a serious relationship, but finds himself extraordinarily attracted to Imani. After Nia and Braxton are involved in a near fatal auto accident, the two lovers are forced to make some life altering decisions.
This book is a tedious read though it has it's bright moments. The plot is meandering and the characters lack the depth
necessary to keep the reader interested in a novel of this length. The author does an admirable job in dealing with the issue
of morality in a contemporary relationship. Perhaps a more condensed version of the story would make for a more engaging read.

Tom Sharpe does it again.Review Date: 2006-07-15
It's the effortless way that Tom Sharpe interlocks the characters and circumstances in his books that makes them so addictive. I've never read a book where I literally burst out laughing, only to have to sink deeper into my seat to avoid the quizzical looks from those around me. I loved Blott On The Landscape and Porterhouse Blue (and I didn't think he could top them!), but Wilt is by far the best one I've read...and judging by the reviews that Amazon readers have been giving his other books, it seems the journey for me has just begun.

The story of a daring escape during World War II Review Date: 2005-12-03
Two versionsReview Date: 2006-10-23
Only as Williams admitted years later in an anniversary update - that part never happened and was put in to satisfy the publishers who wanted a more "exciting" ending.
...and he is right to come clean on the point - the story was exciting enough without needing tweaking - ingenuity under strain of captivity is well portrayed in the book and after the frightening journey across Germany - his debriefing by an Intelligence Officer counterpoints what went before in a very British and understated way.
A Gripping True WWII POW Escape Story!!Review Date: 2002-11-10
This book took me over until the very last page.
I usually don't care for reading as a past time and especially novels that take too long to get through.
I read this book over 20 years ago (and only did so by chance after finding it in the school library), because I had to submit a book report during my junior high school years.
I enjoyed the book so much I eagery and ultimately compiled a great book report and was awarded 9/10 as a grade.
Funny enough, I did so well with it that I took the liberty to re-submitted the same book report the following year and again was awarded another high mark (of course it was a different teacher and I had to re-write and date it).
In fact here I am over 20 years later I plan to get my very own copy. That's how much I enjoyed it!
"The Wooden Horse" by Eric Williams is a fabulous book and would make a perfect gift to that person who you think should read more...but doesn't.
They'll thank you for it!
A Real-Life Trojan Horse that Fooled the German CaptorsReview Date: 2008-02-03
The original Trojan Horse contained soldiers in the process of sneaking into a city. This real-life WWII thriller describes a Trojan Horse used by Allied POWs to tunnel their way out of a German POW camp. While the horse was ostensibly being used for vaulting exercise, a small group of men hidden within the horse dug a tunnel underneath. Eventually it led them to freedom. Years later, "Eric Williams" was surprised that a mere plywood box could have fooled the Germans for so long. Indeed, the Germans apparently never became suspicious of the fact that the horse was always placed at the identical location, and not far from the wire.
The idea was conceived out of the frustration of digging tunnels long distances from the huts to past the camp wire, and the Germans expecting the traps to originate from the huts and finding them. What if there was some way to get much closer to the wire, to dig a tunnel from there, and to conceal the trap from that unexpected location?
The Trojan Horse episode came to mind. It would be a long and laborious tunneling process, as only a few tunnelers and relatively small amounts of sand could be concealed within the horse per exercise session. Otherwise, the horse would be too heavy to be carried.
The vaulting horse was at first used without any tunnelers concealed in it. In fact, the vaulters purposely knocked it over a number of times so that the Germans would see nothing on the inside of it. The Germans were told that the vaulting stemmed from the English craze for exercise.
After innumerable episodes of vaulting and tunneling, the tunnel was past the wire. Three escapees went from inside the horse down the tunnel, and, after many hours, dug there way to freedom. All three made it safely to the Allied lines.
One of the best prison breakout novels of all timeReview Date: 2000-07-08
Written by the escapee himself, it retains all its charm and spirit since it first received rave reviews in the late 1940s to early 1950s.
The breakout came from a novel, yet brilliant idea inspired by the Legend of the Trojan Horse- ie to use a gym vaulting horse as cover to hide an inmate who dug a tunnel to the nearest concentration camp fence. It succeeded, but I won't ruin the story with all the details, you will have to read it yourself! Rest assured the book is well written, and as it is told by one of the escapees himself it has a certain charm, readability and authenticity about it.
Getting out was just the first part, the escapees still had to travel across most of Germany to reach home, right amidst the heartlessness and desparation of WW2. I found the description of the lives of everyday German people within a major war as soulful, revealing and harrowing as the concentration camp itself.
A remarkable story, a great and uplifting novel, sure to inspire for many years to come. No mundane "political correctness" here, truthfully told and recorded with all the desperation, fear, and courageous spirit of many involved in the war-on both sides.
There was a film also made in the 1960s I think, which was almost as good as the book, but not quite. Of similar genre to The Wooden Horse is "the Great Escape", also made into a film, but the Wooden Horse is more realisitic and better done overall in my opinion.
Uplifts the spirit.

Very addictive and fun Christian chick-lit...Review Date: 2008-06-25
You Had Me at Goodbye is an awesome romantic comedy. The heroine feels real, so do the other characters. Jack Quinn is as sexy as they come, but sometimes I got frustrated with the mixed messages he sent and the fact that Dancy never seemed to really listen to what he's trying to tell her. And that brings me to a few problems I had with this novel. I don't get her cousin Sheri. One minute she is all over Jack and suddenly she actually has no interest in him. Her personality is at times too abrupt and changes in a dramatic, strange way. I knew about Jack and Cate Able from the very beginning, and I can't believe that Dancy, a book author, hadn't put two and two together -- or at least she should have suspected it. Other than that, I enjoyed reading this book. After several "deep" historical novels, I've had a good run of contemporary women's fiction to satisfy my palette for chick-lit. This is actually the second part of the "drama queens" series. I had picked up To Catch a Rising Star, the first part, but put it down. Ah, well. I look forward to reading Laini's story -- the third and final roommate -- when that book comes out.
Saucy, outrageous fun!Review Date: 2008-05-07
But then handsome Brit Jack Quinn takes a job at Lane Publishing, and Dancy's plans take a swift nosedive. In no time at all, she finds herself jobless and in need of a new career.
After the initial devastation, she decides the time might be right to finish that novel she's been kinda sorta working on for...well, forever. But Jack seems to have found a way into even the world inside her head, annoying hunk that he is! And it doesn't help that unwelcome little surprises keep cropping up here and there and everywhere to add to the general confusion.
With her life clearly on the downslide, Dancy really has no choice but to turn to God for solutions. Can He...will He work things out for a Fifth Avenue princess?
You Had Me at Good-bye is a fun storyline, and an interesting peek into a world where money is no object, and anything over a size two is plus-size. Tracey Bateman has a style all her own, and a unique ability to make readers laugh out loud. At the same time, she paints a heart-warming picture of spiritual growth, emotional development and love in the making.
Don't miss this delightful romance!

Ah, a 30-something woman in NYCReview Date: 2008-04-14
First, Dancy Ames gets edged out of the promotion to Senior Editor that she was in line for by none other than her brother's best friend, Jack Quinn. Quinn happens to have an adorable British accent and no clue that she's had a crush on him for years. Dancy's new boss wastes no time in criticizing her work and gets her sent on a forced 30-day vacation.
Then she gets fired. By Jack-who then tries to ask her on a date as she's storming off. How pathetic is he?
Next, Dancy's parents deed their high-rise condo - the one with the Central Park view that Dancy has loved all her life - to her brother and his fiancé, who don't even really want it. And Jack shows up to offer a comforting shoulder, throwing Dancy off-kilter once again.
In the midst of all the drama in her life, Dancy finds solace in the words from her deceased Granny's Bible. But she has a hard time believing that there's a trustworthy Father out there who cares about this Fifth Avenue Princess and her dreams. Will she give God a chance to prove that He has the right plans for her life?
This second book in the Drama Queens series by multi-published author Tracey Bateman is a fun, sassy read that won't take long to enjoy.
Set in Manhattan and filled with authentic tidbits, like a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop and traffic jams, it's obvious Bateman has done her homework. The snappy tone and sometimes-quirky dialogue used by the author adds a conversational mien to the novel and keeps the pace flying.
This novel is also sprinkled with parts of the novel Dancy writes during the course of her story, which gives the reader some key insights into the main character's psyche, which is helpful since Bateman leaves much of Dancy's inner feelings to the reader's interpretation.
Don't miss this cheeky look at the life of a thirty-something woman who finds out she really is a Fifth Avenue Princess, and just who her true Father is.
Armchair Interviews agrees.

A book for women of all agesReview Date: 2008-03-31
"You Had Me at Good-bye" is the second book in the "Drama Queens" series by Tracey Bateman. This volume focuses mainly on Dancy Ames, but her family and two close friends, Laini and Tabby, play prominent roles as well. Dancy is facing several changes in her life including, but not limited to, being fired from her job and learning of a family member she did not know existed. She is having problems finding the right man, which is compounded by the fact that both her brother and her good friend will be celebrating marriages soon. Only after Dancy loses the things that she considers important to her does she realize what it is that she wants the most.
This book contains religious elements but the author adeptly avoids being preachy and trying to overdo the spiritual aspects. Her message of the importance of trusting in God to find the right path for one's life is a central theme. It was fun to see the personal growth that many of the characters underwent as their lives progressed. I also enjoyed reading about the thought processes they used when faced with making important decisions about their futures.
Dancy's transformation from a spineless and indecisive woman into one who is strong and goes after what she wants is well portrayed. The author uses excerpts from a book that Dancy is writing to begin each chapter. These excerpts give the reader insight into how Dancy pictures her life should be versus how complicated it presently is. It is when Dancy learns to accept what she cannot change that her true growth begins.
Women of all ages will enjoy this book. It is a cute story that centers on looking for love, but also stresses the importance of letting God guide you through your life decisions. The interactions between Dancy, Laini, and Tabby are very realistic and will remind many readers of the times they have spent with their close friends. There are some questions listed at the end of "You Had Me at Good-bye" to assist reading groups in their discussions. I am eagerly looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Some of the vocabulary they picked up on the first time through in Spanish was frijoles, broma, cocina, blanda, and bosque (beans, joke, kitchen, soft, and forest) - I know they'll continue to grab more phrases and words since they already know all the family and animal names from the Flip Flop book. Great buy! What a bargain!
