Rainbow The Books

Very interesting. I work in an office day in and day out and really enjoyed reading about Thom Tansey overcoming inertia to get out of his office and into the field to hunt for and dig up dinosaurs. This is not a textbook, thankfully. I can relate to the author's experiences of learning about dinosaurs from his field work and his research. The book is entertaining and enlightening. As the author points out, dinosaurs were not the lumbering brutes we had been led to believe, as I was taught. Some of them, at least, were probably warm blooded. Some lived in vast herds like the wildebeest in Africa or the caribou in Alaska. Some cared for and nurtured their young, sometimes in nests. I certainly enjoyed traveling with Thom Tansey on this journey of discovery. And I didn't have to even leave my easy chair, though I am now tempted to try a dinosaur field trip myself.

I enjoyed the development of each character in the book, they come to life and you feel you know each one. They act and respond like good people that have a heart for life. I enjoyed the humor in this book, I laughed, I cried, I cheered. It was a book that I truely could not put down. I would recommend this sensative wonderful book to all my friends.

This book is exquisitely illustrated with a story line that will grab the attention of kids from three to eight and they will learn a lot without realizing it. I bought it for my two grandsons, three and 7.

After reading this novel I'm convinced that this is a story just waiting to be put upon the big screen!

It has a warm, heartfelt feeling to it like STEPHEN SPIELBERG'S film "ET", has the outlandish fun of his film "THE GOONIES", has the lively adventure like the film "HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS." I agree with the quote Megan Robertson made from the Metropolitan Talent Agency; this is probably going to be the next big film like the Goonies or ET even when it's made!

I read that STAR WARS producer HOWARD KAZANJIAN is attached to produce the film version. I look forward to seeing how that progresses. In the meantime, my suggestion is anyone who reads these comments should buy the book. It's for most ages, 10 and up, young adults as well as adults. If you like any of the Harry Potter books and films, you'll love this. If you like fantasy of any sorts, Lord of the Rings, Eragon, this is for you. Even those who like science-fiction will enjoy it. Remember, the Star Wars producer has optioned the novel to make it into a film, so THAT ALONE has got to mean it's worth the read!

I'll end with another quote I read about the book and end with the film producers credits: "The story is very exciting! It really starts off with a bang, and it has a bit of Stephen King feel to it at times!" Sarah Durand - Senior Editor of William Morrow an Imprint of HarperCollins Publisher.

Howard Kazanjian is an award-winning producer and entertainment executive who has been producing feature films and television programs for more than twenty-five years. While vice president of production for Lucasfilm Ltd., he produced two of the highest grossing films of all time: Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. He also managed production of another top-ten box-office hit, The Empire Strikes Back. Some of his other notable credits include The Rookies, Demolition Man, and the two-hour pilot and first season of J.A.G.

My nephew is on the autism spectrum (and his name is Ben). This started great discussions with my kids about their cousin and how people can be mean and how my kids might respond. At my son's 9-year-old sleepover with his cousin and his friends, my son put one of his friends in his place after the friend made fun of his cousin. Made me proud.

Tumbleweeds is a great read, the story of a ranch in Texas and a woman who marries and moves there. The drama that takes place between the men and the women on the Circle Z ranch includes the birth of grandbabies for Mother Allena and the stories of the women her sons marry. Particularly, the book focuses on Mary Lou Mackey and her marriage to Tom Langdon. She leaves Kansas to live with her new husband and share his life in Texas among his family members. All four novels in the book flow right into each other, so the book is almost like one novel - a good thing if you enjoy reading Barbour Inspirational Romances as much as I do! You won't regret finding this little known book - the characters are memorable and created with passion. Have a great time reading it! - Deborah Smith Embree in Nashville...

Two By Two is a wonderful story about Noah's faith to God's word. It shows that Noah believed in what God had told him ,about a flood coming, even though he did not know what a flood was. He obeyed God's orders. It also shows that even though people laughed at Noah for building a boat, Noah tried to teach them about God's word. He did not get angry at them for laughing at him. This book has a smooth way of teaching not only what happens when we do and do not listened and obey God, but also it involves the children in participating with animal sounds. It gets the children to see the animals and make the sounds like them. Teaching children about God's creations and obeying his rules is the best foundation any parent can give a child. I truly admired the book when we borrowed it from our church library, and our 2 1/2 year old son loves it very much, it became his bedtime story for the past two weeks. I am very happy we have the chance to purchase it so another child can borrow it from the library and enjoy it too.

If you finished John Keel's MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, wondering if it could possibly be true, pick this thorough tome and it will lovingly document just about every outlandish assertion therein. Men in Black, "bigfoot" like humanoids, poltergeist effects accompanying UFO encounters, witnesses with histories of psychic experiences, "channeled" messages, everthing but the Garuda.

Many ufologists think parapsychology is irrelevant to UFOs...after all they already *know* that they are "nuts and bolts" spacecraft piloted by "flesh and blood" EBE's. (the "X files" and the MJ-12 documents tell them so!) Many parapsychologists think that ufology is beneath their loftly standards of scientific rigor (perhaps so, but that doesn't make them any more welcome as CSICOP meetings). As a result some interesting cross-fertilization is missed.

Like or not, poltergeist phenomena, crypto-zoa (e.g. "Bigfoot"), apparitions, intrude upon abduction experiences and ufo encounters like night follows day, and any ultimate explanation of one will probably explain the others. Dogmatic advocates of the extraterrestrial hypothesis are continually embarrased by this fact and frequently sweep such "extraneous details" out of their accounts. Skeptics highlight them and say "see, UFOs lead to all sorts of nonsense therefore *they* are nonsensical." Schwarz grasps the nettle firmly and tries to understand the vast spectrum of paranormal experience of which UFOs are only one part.

Fat in data. Slim in judgments. Judicious in speculation. He may not have many answers, but he's asking some new questions.

The chapters on the aftermath to the Barney and Betty Hill case is worth the price of the book alone!

This book is a MUST READ book. Both Christians and non Christians Need to read this book.
