Great book...good quality...arrived in record time. I will highly recommend ordering this book for a Christmas present for any age.

This story will rank among my all time favorite Christmas stories! It is heartwarming and humorous, and conveys the true spirit of Christmas!

This book is a GREAT human interest story that uses a man's skill-carving, with a family need for a nativity. In the process of carving the characters and the friendliness of a woman and her son, Jonathan changes from a bitter, lonely man to a believer.

Each year I buy myself a new Christmas book, looking for something unique..Just ran up on this book at a company book sale and stood in awe as I read the story. I knew this was "the one" for this year. Not only is the story heartwarming but the illustrations are perfect. My children are grown as well as my granddaughters and I plan to buy copies for all of them.

A friend and I are often comparing notes on wonderful new and old books and stories for children (and adults), especially at Christmastime. When I saw this book, I knew it would fill the bill as a perfect gift to her to add to her wonderful collection of children's books. I was right--she loved it. I'd never heard of this story before, but, in my opinion, it should be much better known and read. It's so sweet. I'm certainly sharing it. It's perfect for reading aloud. Again, a real good experience with you folks.

Rabbit is a simple soldier in the Iversterre Army, stationed in a back-water outpost... Or at least that is what he wishes he was and tries hard to be. Unfortunately for Rabbit, he's got a few rather big secrets. When one of the Faena, a talking mountain cat named Laurel, happens upon Rabbit's troop, things start to fall apart as far as Rabbit is concerned. Rabbit is from the Borderlands, a territory distinct from Iversterre, to the south, and so is the Faena, a creature most people in Iversterre think of as mythical. Rabbit has grown up with Faena, so he's not confounded by Laurel's appearance--but he somehow gets caught up in a Covenant with him... a simple sharing of food that turns into something bigger.

Laurel has been sent as an Ambassador to the King's Court of Iversterre. Years ago (largely forgotten by most of the people), the Borderlands fought a war and handily defeated Iversterre, now the two countries are approaching another war: smugglers and slavers and reavers from Iversterre have been killing Borderlands creatures or selling them as slaves and trading in their artifacts.

Rabbit travels with his troop, accompanying the Ambassador to the Courts and finds that he's the target of assassination attempts and that he needs to stop being the simple soldier and former farmboy and find out about politics and intrigues quickly. And although magic is totally disregarded in Iversterre, it seems that plenty of magic is at work; something else that Rabbit needs to know more about fast.

This is a solid and enjoyable epic fantasy that has some of what you'd expect (magic and mages and dragons and elves and kingdoms at war) and yet still feels fresh and unique. There is plenty of adventure and mystery and action and betrayal and evil. What's better, they aren't fighting an Evil Overlord, but men and creatures with the typical desire for power and riches.

Rabbit is a good main character. He's a farmboy and simple soldier, even though he's also quite a few other things as well. While he may be a bit TOO much, particularly towards the latter part of the book, the fact that he's humble and doesn't ask for much helps keep him grounded and accessible. The cast of characters who surround him are complex and intriguing as well. The plot twists and turns and is a wildly fun roller-coaster of a ride.

It is very easy for an epic fantasy to fall into the usual tropes and become indistinguishable from one another. This book is saved by its strong characters and clean and accomplished storytelling. I'm happy to recommend this book and will certainly be reading any sequels.

I stayed up all night to finish this book, unable to put it down. I have only done that with Harry Potter & The Lord of the Rings (nothing new there), and the Bartimaeus Trilogy & Howl's Moving Castle. One thing I love is the dynamics. It doesn't so much repeat as return, the way a theme does in a symphony.

The book has everything: humor, intensity, memorable characters and situations, memorable places, haunting images, brilliant dialogue, ideas, philosophy, feelings, symbols... And although, as is always the case with fantasy, a few aspects are recognizable from other works (I'm thinking mainly of Avatar, and the two are very different) there is a flavor of originality throughout.

It's not the kind of book I immediately want to reread, because it is the kind of book I first want to keep thinking about. I keep discovering things in retrospect, and realize how well it is planned. It is the kind of book I don't want just to reread, but to study.

I really, really hope Lorna Freeman doesn't have to wait for posterity to get the attention she deserves. I couldn't even find a new version of her second book on amazon (only second hand). But, as urged by a reviewer here, I wrote to penguin about the rumor of their discontinuing her series.

A great start to a enjoyable series, I have reread this book till the pages are falling out, the second book was a good follow up was waiting for the third book shawdows past but it looks to have been canceled this is a shame I was really looking forward to reading it.

Both of the Borderlands books were great reads, with a truly innovative world, intriguing characters, and exceptionally vivid imagery. I can't wait until the next book comes out

I was completely surprised at how good this book was, the publisher write up does not nearly describe the scope of this book. I read it in a day and can't wait to start the next one.

Here is where the tragedy starts. Due to what the publisher thinks are low sales numbers Ms. Freeman's third book in this series has been put on hold until further notice!!!

I urge anyone who has read this book and enjoyed as much as I did to contact Penguin Publishing group to rally behind this author and get her books published.

This is one of the many reasons to buy new books when you find an author you appreciate. By buying used books talented authors like this get dumped by their publisher because the sale numbers are high enough.

Support your favorite authors, BUY NEW!!!

i like all this book series.. i bought this book secondhand (used) and the seller very proffesional, they carefully packed the books fre each one.. all the books are in mint condition (with name written on the cover but i think its fine). if i'm going to buy another used book. i definitely will buy from this store.

Daniel Handler is one of the best children's authors around. He has a turn of phrase unique to himself and he treats children as young adults. This is literature for the young and is a worthwhile addition to your library. I bought these to read for myself, and am now waiting to introduce them to my children.

Sometimes guardians can't be trusted! The Series of Unfortunate Events will prove that to you. These books are for ages 8 and up. These books couldn't be better if you ask me. They are some of my favorite books and I have every one that goes in the series. Each book takes the kids to a new guardian's house each time. The kids end up in a new towns, and cities, mills, and schools often. When Sunny, Violet, and Klaus Baudelaire were at the beach their parents were at home and then a friend of their parents walks up to them on the beach and tells them that their mansion burnt down and their parents died. Nobody knew how the fire started, but it wasn't caused by something, it was caused by someone. Count Olaf burnt their house down and killed their parents because he was a relative and wanted custody of the kids only because he wanted the enormous fortune that their parents left behind. Count Olaf did get custody. But when the kids told someone what he was doing to them and the police found out, they got a new guardian. Count Olaf then disguised himself so that he could kill or injure all of the kid's new guardians. He wanted to get the kids and their enormous fortune back. But you have to read the series to find out what happens next in these books filled with suspense

I like these @ first, but then I just stopped reading them, and I have no idea why.

Klaus is the middle child in this trio. He is amazingly smart. Violet can build inventions out of anything! And the youngest person in this trio is a girl named Sunny, who has amazingly sharp front teeth.

I love the plot of these books. Count Olaf is a great character and I love to hate him!

I juat have to read the twelfth book and then I've read them all. I definetely plan to read the next book in this series.

The books by Lemonity Snicket are wonderful. They are stories that keep you reading. I have enjoyed reading them. They are stories about three young children who lost their parents in a fire and are sent to different places to live. The first place was with a distant relative....who is Count Olaf. From then on there have been many more places they have had to live and exciting but unfortunate events have happened to them. I would recommend you read them from the first story called, "A Bad Beginning" to the last one which is book #12. I have yet to read that one and do not know what it is called...but they are wonderful stories and will keep you going.

Anyone who has ever read any of Karens books knows that there is no other writer in this day and age that hits every emotion that we all go through in this life, in our own search for why we are here, who we are, and the battles that can and do happen in this life.

The number one moral is that Gods Love and our love for others is the strength to keep us all carrying on in this journey in life. There is hope in all of her books.

It is such a "blessing" to read a book, that everyone whether a believer or not in God who touches our lives in everyday situations with family and friends. There is not one of her books that I have ever been disappointed in. Once you read one of her books you will be "hooked" and can't wait to read the next one.

A friend got me started on Karen's books. Now I have read almost all of her books. When I start one, I find it very hard to put it down - I just want to keep reading to the end. All the books in this series and her other series' are great. I can't wait to find out what will happen to the Baxter family next.

The book is a wonderful nonfiction that displays God's awesome faithfulness and presence through the continued story of The Baxter Family. I was so taken that I could hardly put the book down and I'm eager to begin the Sunrise Series. These books are encouraging in my life as well, reminding me of God's promises and truths in my own life. Thank you for encouraging me in my walk with Christ!

This is one of Karen Kingsbury's best books, and certainly her best love story. An award winning book, it's also by far the best of the Firstborn series. She's crafted the characters in the Baxter family so well that you feel as though you are a member of this family. I highly recommend Forever! The Candidate: A Novel

I thought that this new part of the series was packed with excellent marriage advice that is both practical and Biblical. I love this series, and how Kingsbury portrays God's graciousness and mercy.

The story of a boy, Jon, who falls through a mysterious door and lands on earth. Falling from what seems safe into chaos, the boy faces love and hate. While some provide loving care, others seek to destroy thus, encasing the human condition.
The author's theme is quite clear, yet not preachy. Forcing readers to look within and celebrate other's differences while recognizing held beliefs is what rides throughout the book. The theme is revealed through its characters and the setting holds to enforce it. The writer carefully questions the normal human nature. Readers are gently forced to face their own disagreements. A book that has been around for generations still provides the right answers to time old questions. Through its read, it is possible to fantasize of a better world.

I always loved reading this... still do ...enough to have 2 copies on my shelf...and I'm 51. It's one of those few books that stick with you thru the years, one you don't forget and makes you think. I always thought it would make a great Disney movie.

Other reveiwers have noted that this book is pretty short and leaves you wanting more, but that is not such a bad thing. I read this a few times when I was seven or eight years old and the story stuck in my head. I couldn't remember the title, but 20 years later I remembered enough details to find this book with a few internet keyword searches. I was not dissapointed when I read it again as an adult. It is an excellent story with a good moral. I agree with past reveiwers that it is good when it could have been great, but I reccomend just taking it for what it is and enjoying it. Also, for anyone under 12 it is a great read and not too taxing. It's a great book for instilling a love of reading, so share it with any youngsters you know.

The book I read is called The Forgotten Door. It was written by Alexander Key,a fabulous author, in 1965. It is the story of Little Jon, a young child from another planet who accidentally falls through a forgotten portal, or "door", to Earth. After bumping his head and then landing on Earth, he lost most of his memory, but not his amazing powers. He was adopted by the Bean family, who understands his situation. They want to try to get him home, but will his amazing powers and mysterious background cause trouble? Read the book to find out!
The plot goes like this...
Little Jon is on his home planet, running around with his friends and watching shooting stars. Suddenly, the once firm ground gives way, and he plummits away from everything he once knew. When he awoke, he remembered very little. He was in a cave, and very frightened. He exited the cave, trying to find a person. He stumbled upon a doe, and reached out to it... with his mind! This was one of the astounding things he can do with his mind. He talked to it gently with his thoughts, then followed it to a field. All of a sudden, a shot rang out, scaring away the doe and frightening Jon. The deer ran off, leaving Little Jon to face his first human alone. A man came across the field. He was mean to Jon,and even though Jon can't yet understand the language, he used his mind powers to sense the anger in the man's thoughts. Again, using the powers that come so naturally to him, Little Jon telepathically lightened his feet and ran away, running as fast as a deer.
Eventually he met the Bean family, with whom he learned English. The Beans lived in a small country town outside of Atlanta, Georgia in the mid-1900s. They took him in and sheltered him, but rumors of this so-called "wild boy" spread quickly. The Beans tried to help him get his memory back, but little progress was ever made, even though he constantly returned to the cave he landed in to look for clues. When the Beans learned that he had never heard of "war" or "money" before, they reached the conclusion he was otherworldly. But with rumors spreading like wildfire, it was not long before he was accused of a crime he did not commit.
He was taken to court, where he revealed his amazing powers in order to stop the trouble now surrounding himself and the Beans. His powers were of interest even to the military. This revelation frightened and dismayed the criminals and ne'er do-wells in the town, and threats to get rid of Jon came to the Bean's household. One dark and dreary night, Jon was with the Beans inside, when he heard the evil thoughts of many crooks surrounding the home, lurking in the woods. Confused and terrified, the Beans had run out of options. Suddenly, Jon received confirmation, through telepathy, that his people had reopened the portal and want him to return home. But the woods between him and the cave was crawling with enemies, and should he leave, the Beans may well be killed. Finally Jon...(if you do not want the ending spoiled, DO NOT continue reading!)... had an idea. He quickly explained the situation to his people, and they agreed to the idea of Jon bringing the Beans to live on his planet. Jon made a run for it, distracting the bad people while the Beans left their home and met him at the portal. Then they were gone, whisked off to a perfect world without war, laws, or money, to live where all kind families like the Beans deserve to.
The End :)

Like so many others, I read this lovely book when I was much younger, and it has remained with me to this day. It's a deceptively simple story, told directly & clearly, which poses quite a few difficult ethical & moral questions about the world we take for granted. Yet it's never preachy or heavy-handed. Through the eyes of Little Jon, we not only see the flaws of our own society, with its emphasis on greed, power, and selfishness, but we also get a glimpse of another, better world. Certainly any child who is puzzled by the needless cruelties we so easily inflict on one another will welcome this book. Why *does* it have to be that way? Why *can't* we rise above our worst instincts? Well, maybe we can ... and a book like this is a reminder of that possibility. It's inspirational in the best sense of the word, and most highly recommended!

I love this piece, except I was so sorry it had to end! A great read - it feels so real, and speaks to all of us. Very insightful and sensitive without being sappy. Smart without being self-consciously so. Susan quickly weaves a story of rich and complex characters - people that we are and people that we know. I can't wait to read more!

All I can say is brilliant work. Susan Heeger is an exceptional writer with an exerpt from her book that is guaranteed to be a literary success. Dana and Cliff are on a life pursuit (that I have only dreamed of), and confronting their life together and relationship issues that all of us can empathize with on every level. Susan's ability to convincinly develop her characters and describe the pnumbras in her scenes, leaves my heart pounding and my mouth watering. This is a work of art and one that I read and re-read several times hoping that it would never end. I need to read the rest of Heeger's novel and will truly feel short changed and forever hungry in life if I am not able to complete the rest of this literary tale. I am always passionate about great works of literature, but Heeger's Hungry is one that has taken me to places I have never experienced before. This is an absolue winner and a "must read" by everyone searching for an alternative path in life. In short, simply brilliant.

Susan Heeger has created an extraordinary literary work that I hoped would go on forever. The development of her characters is so real and creatively descriptive that I can honestly say that I feel that I know Dana and Nicco and their aspirations for a different and potentially more fulfilling life and set of relationships. This has always been my own search of personal discovery and Heeger has described in in a way that I have never experienced before in a literary context. Beyond my emotional and intellectual rapport with each of Heeger's characters, her writing draws me into every nauance of her creative prose where each of my senses comes alive where I am fully engrossed and engaged with her every word. I can definitely say that I am hungry for more and I eagerly await the privelege of reading the remainder of Heeger's brilliant work. Finally a literary work that is truly captivating. Bravo Susan Heeger

In this enticing excerpt from her novel, Hungry, Susan Heeger introduces us to a couple, who, with their young son have left Los Angeles for what they imagine will be a more peaceful, balanced life in the small seaside California town of Lark. Dana, a freelance writer and Cliff, an architect, make an impulsive decision to buy a café in Lark, months after taking a romantic trip to the area, during which they'd passed through "miles of soft forest ribboned with trails," and hiked through the serenely beautiful redwood forests. But there are just enough hints of foreboding in this idyll ("Branches laced overhead in hissing canopies") to give an edginess and tension that makes this a fascinating read. It's clear from this tantalizing fragment that Heeger has more than one story up her sleeve. This gifted writer is one whose work we will want more of - the full version of this novel will undoubtedly whet our appetite for her next one.

HOOKED!


Susan Heeger's Hungry starts out with a subtitle: "FOOD." Thus our witty author already reminds that there are more ways than one to crave "sexually delicious cinammon buns." She beguiles us with coffee and buttered toast, peachy cheeks and mushroom cap hair-dos, but all the while she's creating a story that's also about hungering for love, work, redwoods, sex and children. Hungry is filled with desire. Desire and suspense. When Dana, Cliff and their eight year old son, Nico, move to Lark, they're not just in search of mere happiness. By leaving L.A. for this charming place by the sea, they're risking everything. They want fulfillment. So much for that marriage, we fear, as Cliff hires a lazy eyed waitress at his new restaurant; as the unemployed Dana dines out on deep talk with the artist, Lawrence; and most nerve-wrackingly, as Nico meets a feast of nature in the reckless, irresistable Matt. Heeger's subtle weaving of pleasure, yeasty relationships, the promise and dangers in a golden season remind me of James Salter. Hunger could be an update of Salter's breathtaking (and heartbreaking) Light Years. Now I've had this taste, I'm starved. Where's the rest? More, more more...

We recently bought this book and I have instantly fallen in love! My little boy (10 mo) lets me read it over and over and over to him. So happy we found it.

I bought this book as a gift for my son on his first Valentine's Day, at 5 months old. I fell in love with the adorable pictures and the sing-song verse. He loved the way I would act out the words, touching or tickling the body parts mentioned. It is a perfect book for any parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or caregiver to read to a young child. My son still gets a kick out of it at nearly 4, although he has it well memorized.

As soon as my sister found out she was pregnant, I bought this book for her baby. She enjoyed reading it to her belly throughout her pregnancy. It is such a cute book and a really good "go to bed" book, too.

Hope you enjoy it as much as my family still does.

There book is wonderful!!! Our only complaint is that the pages are a little thin so it has some creases in it from three toddlers playing with it.

My 2 y/o asks to read this every night before bed. We've had it for months now and she still loves it. A great story... very sweet!

I bought this book for our 18 month old daughter. It is probably better suited for 8 months and up, but it is still an adorable little book. Highly recommended.

This is book is at the top of my all time favorite books as a child(I'm 21 now). I read this book a million times over and if I could find it I'd do it again. This novel definately molded my reading as a child and I can't be more thankful of it. Interesting and difficult to pull away from this book draws you in. I think I might go and re-buy both this book and Wise Child to read just for summer fun!

After reading Wise Child I was very happy to discover Juniper. It is the story of Juniper and how she became a doran after enduring her teaching from Euny. The story is well written like Wise Child. I recommend reading this book especially if you enjoyed Wise Child.

The prequel to Wise Child, Juniper is the story of Ninnoc, know as Juniper, a medieval princess sent to apprentice under her godmother. Juniper leaves her friends, family, and the comforts of her father's small palace to live with Euny, her grandmother, in a small cold shack on the edge of the kingdom. Under Euny's care she toils throughout the day, eats little, and sleeps poorly, all with the promise that, in time, Euny will teach her the knowledge and ways of a doran, the women of the world who live alongside the rhythms of nature and use their skills and magic to help others. While Juniper spends a year and a day at Euny's shack, her father's castle comes under attack by her aunt, and evil sorceress who wants the kingdom for herself. Juniper's first task as a doran will be to use her powers and what Euny has taught her to defeat her aunt and save her father's kingdom. While I prefer Wise Child, Juniper is also an engrossing, worthwhile read. Many of the same themes are present, especially the concept that nothing worthwhile comes without a price. Juniper's story is darker than Wise Child's: Euny is a tough task master and Juniper's aunt is a more immediate and threatening foe. In exchange, the elements of magic are larger and more visible. While perhaps not as enjoyable or as skillfully crafted as Wise Child, Juniper provides interesting backstory and continues to examine the path of a doran--how they learn, what their purpose is, and what trails they must face. I recommend this text, especially as a prequel to Wise Child.

Despite the similar storyline, Juniper is very different from its sequel, Wise Child. Both stories are about young women who live with a doran, working hard and suffering in order to learn from her and train to be dorans themselves. However, Juniper deviates from Wise Child's focus on the nature of love and family: unlike Wise Child, Juniper comes from a stable and loving home. Rather, Juniper's story is about assessing one's own skills and finding one's own path, even if that path takes you far away from the comfort and desires of your youth. This theme of self-discovery is worthwhile and interesting to readers of all age groups: it's instructive and comforting to the young, and reminds older readers that the sacrifice and reward of self-discovery is never really over.

Perhaps the biggest difference between Wise Child and Juniper is the role of magic in the books. In Juniper, magic plays a much more visible role and doesn't fit into the world as we know it quite as well as it does in Wise Child. Talking animals, transforming sorcerers, and magical items all transform the visibility and role of magic. While not as extreme as it could be (there are no dragons here), magic is more obvious and harder to explain in this book. As a result, the story is a little more distant and harder to identify with than Wise Child, making for a less sucessful book. Juniper's story is more exciting, with a more physical and exciting climax, but on the whole it isn't as successful or as enjoyable as Wise Child.

Nonetheless, Furlong writes in a clear, readable style, her characters are realistic and easy to identify with, an the lessons contained within the book are worthwhile and personal. It is a fitting companion to Wise Child and contains many of the concepts and themes that make that book so wonderful. As a prequel, this book successfully provides backstory and characterization that should interest anyone that has read Wise Child. I do recommend this text, primarily but not only as a sequel, and I like to come back to it every couple of years.

If you have read Wise Child...(I don't know, I read Wise Child first--I don't know if that's out of order or not)...anyway, this is a great book to go along with Wise Child. The books are imaginative and fun to read, and I'm not even a kid anymore...she just makes them fun for all ages to read...I highly recommend this book...

I hope this helped you...

I'm a guy (you know the drill - testosterone has me rooting for the robots in the terminator movies) with 3 young daughters and so story time for me can be it's own kind of hell, overpopulated with too many thoughtful ponies, joyous princesses and other terrors from the Id.

Juniper at least is a story that can engross a child while being satisfying to the adult reader. I never once had the urge to plunge my head through the sheetrock in the bedroom whereas when forced to read stories like the Pony Pals, that's all I can think about. The wise women in Juniper are are a bit too knowing and all seeing, the plot a bit formulaic but other than that, it's a story of growing up, persistence against adversity good and evil, courage and adventure and some things in between. Same holds through the rest of the trilogy: Wise Child and Colman though they're not written in order.

I suspect that these stories catch the mind of young girls more than boys and are aimed more at a female audience. I don't know if I would have read it by myself, but with mission to read to my daughters, it was an enjoyable journey. I could see adult women enjoying this for it's own sake. In any case the books of this trilogy are well above the average children's fare for girls or for boys. Definitely worth the price of admission.

I read the book in a few hours. It was pretty good for a book as fast paced as this. You got a feel for the characters.

I was truly engaged reading about Richard and Nina. I felt so bad for Richard all of the garbage he had to deal with, with his wife's family. Her mother RubyLee was a straight up trip. She took using people to a whole different level. Nina was a really nive kindhearted and caring person whose husband didn't realize what he had until she was gone. I was glad to see Nina working on her relationship with her daughter because it is so true how death could come knocking on your door without you having told the person that you love them or that you are proud of them. This story was well written with a solid ending.

Wonderful read!! I loved it from beginning to end! I could see myself (and my relationship) in this book. Maybe not so much the drama, but attempting to save something that may be already dead and yet, wanting something better out of life and love. Most romance novels are full of just sex -- Taken for Granted gave you just enough. Great job Earl Sewell. Please keep it up!

This book is a must read! The controlling mother-in-law is hilarious and cunning. So cunning and controlling that it cost her everything in the end. This is a book that makes you think and also keep people out of your relationship.

I don't know why it took so long for me to write a review for this book since I read it for the first time about a year ago. It's still fresh in my mind that I had a heart for Richard and his relationship with Nina. It is refreshing to read a "grown-up" novel. Not a novel where the chick (immature & materialistic) is a girlfriend (or if you are Nikki Turner...play wife)of a hustla/drug dealer...(not my reality).Taken for Granted is a wonderful story, filled with twists and turns and characters you are sure to love. My favorite...RubyLee. You gotta read her to understand her. Favorite portion of the story...two words: jet skis!!! Find out yourself what happens!

If you remember your childhood, you will understand the aptness of the title. Many things, such as rocks, snake skins and twigs are some of the most valuable items you can ever possess. Calvin, being the inquisitive and imaginative boy that he is, can find treasure and adventure in places where other children cannot. That is demonstrated once again in this collection of captions from the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip.
Calvin is my all time favorite fictional child because he is so imaginative, even though that trait gets him into deep trouble with every adult he encounters. He is also the type of child that will grow up to be an historic nonconformist, someone who will see things so differently that he will change the world.
Down through history, many of the people who actively changed the world were problem children. Let us hope that Calvin is a virtual inspiration to many children in that it will help them to understand that sometimes being different is being best.

There's Treasure Everywhere--A Calvin and Hobbes Collection. Great going Internationalbooks!!!!
The book I received was in VERY good shape.
Thanks,
garyR

I bought all of this series as used books. I love to read Calvin and Hobbes. The price and deliver were both excellent.

i bought this book for my husband and he loves it. instead of reading like an itty bitty comic strip he has a whole book to himself and all the strips flow much like a story. these characters should be in a cartoon series!

It's a great book and got here in perfect conditinons.
MY only complai is that amazon gave me a deadline and the product only arrived five days later....
