Eaglet's World is a wonderful book about both the hatching of an eaglet, and what it might feel like to "launch" out into the world. Children and adults can relate to this idea, as well as become informed about the birth to flight life of an eagle! Grand illustrations as well and memorable story.

It saddens me to know (other reviews) that this is Fredrick Forsyth's last book. One of his best indeed. He has been an expert at cold war fictions and ICON is also on a East vs West story line. However it is remarkable the way he has put the story into todays context. We will really miss this master story tellers works in the future.

In another example of his genius, in his last novel (Source : BBC World), Fedrick Forsyth has created a monster of a thriller of no mean proportions. The story starts off with the death of the President of Russia and the installment of a caretaker President who calls fresh elections. A former Soviet-era engineer with a gift of speech is one of the candidates and a cinch to win. However, his party has a secret manifesto, a black manifesto. A manifesto whoose objective is to cripple all of Russia's neighbours and establish a dictatorship even more powerful and renegade than the old Soviet Union. But, somehow by lax of security, even though the head of security is a former KGB colnel, the manifesto falls into the hands of a US diplomat. Alarms are immediatly raised, and a secret commitee is formed to discredit the candidate. A retired top - class agent is sent in a MI5 cum CIA operation. His misson? TO direct all ethinic minorities, the Islamic Mafia, the military, the Jewish businessmen, the Anti-Drug and Anti-Terrorist Squad and the Church of Russia against a advisary which would cause their mass slaughter. However, there is one trick still up the KGB colnel's sleeve - The Mafia, His own Balck Gaurd and 'Coup d'Êtat'. In future years this bestseller is sure to become a collector's item, not because of the fact that the author has declared it to be his final book but because of its sheer intense action and drama.

Once again Forsythe has taken historical events and true characters and interwoven them into a compelling fiction thriller. His ability to take the poltical structure of Russia and create a scenerio that is both easy to follow and hard to put down is uncanny. It is hard to rate this story his best since so many are so good, however it is without a doubt right at the top. The story centers around the future of Russian politics in the aftermath of a failed democratic free market economy. One leader seeks to gain prominence by using the failure to his own advancement. However his true beliefs are found in a document known only to him and two other comrades (The Black Manifesto). Fortunately this document falls in the hands of a US diplomat. The story gravitates around America's need to discredit this leader without outward involvement. Forsythe takes us into the underworld of Russian mafia as well as the upper echilon of the Politboro.

Like another reviewer, I checked this book out in my middle school's library and read it entirely. Even seven years later (at the time of this review) I can still recall some very memorable creatures from those pages. It is a truly wonderful book for anyone even remotely interested in the various supernatural beings you see in movies. If you are a fan of movies, horror, or have any interest in monsters, this book is definitely worth picking up.

I checked this book out of my local library when I was 12. I read it cover to cover and have never been the same since. It helped shaped my creative interest at a young age and opened a whole new world of goblins, vampires, zombies, and 50 foot women. This is a very detailed and thorough examination of a dying art form. Pick this up for your preteen kid and you won't be sorry. If there not a big fan of monsters, they will be.

This book is awesome. It has every single monster from comics, film, books, and art. It has detailed descriptions of it all. The Perfect Horror Buff Book.

FF Bruce is one of the most gifted Greek scholars I have ever read. He comes from the perspective of inherency of the scripture and is complete with the studies that are brought forth in this commentary. A great resource for Greek scholars.

F.F. Bruce's work on the cannon of scripture is some of the best work I've seen on this topic. He does not dissapoint in his work here either. Sure glad he tackled this Epistle. Good stuff Maynard.

Excellent commentary. Clear writing. The overall theme and the details are both well expounded throughout. The only small drawback is the occasions when Greek words or phrases are used without definitions, but that should not stop someone from buying this book. Bruce is an excellent author.

Jason Rich brings out the full flavor that will chill
chill your bones and make your hair stand on end.
A good night read, and an excellent source of general information without heavy emphasis placed on negative aspects
of the occult. The chapter on Ouija Boards is a must for any
one interested in talking boards! 5 stars!

If you're interested in ghosts and haunted houses, this book is chock full of information. It's easy-to-understand, entertaining and informative.

I thoroughly enjoyed this fascinating book. It is interesting and informative about ghosts and the paranormal. I have had this book since 2002 and continue to use it as a primary reference book for the supernatural. This is the best ghost book that I have found so far.

The author managed to clearly and simply explain complicated financial concepts AND keep it fun and interesting for kids -- not an easy task! Topics such as saving, investing, credit, interest, reading stock quotes, history of money, etc are covered in depth. I learned quite a few things myself -- most adult personal finance books should be this easy to understand! The book has lots of games, puzzles and activities as well as some really interesting money trivia. This is a great resource for both the classroom and home.

My fourth grader is reading this book, and I borrowed it to stay ahead of him. Everything you ever wanted to know is in here-- even things you didn't know you wanted to know (like why we have piggy banks.) Tough concepts like the Federal Reserve are explained in kid-friendly language, and the book is packed with riddles and games. Great for a classroom, fun to read, fast-paced, yet thorough. Highly recommended.

This book is the best of all possible worlds--fun, factual,practical, and completely appealing to kids. It contains importantinformation on what could easily be a dull subject and presents it in interesting and clear text, accessible to kids of all ages. A really terrific book.

Bear trusts Franklin not to tell about his secret, but Franklin breaks his promise. Bear gets angry and wants nothing to do with Franklin. Finally Bear agrees to listen to Franklin who apologizes. Great book for showing that their is no excuse for not keeping a secret and how important it is to say I'm sorry.

Franklin had a lot of friends. One day he did something wrong to his friend, but he learned to say sorry. This is very important to be a good friend. This book is super! I learned something, and hope you do too.

I like the Franklin books because morally they are good books. I am comfortable with my child reading and looking at them. Reading this book to your child is a good way to teach them to say SORRY!

My five year old brought this book home in his nightly reading bag yesterday. We read it no less than three times and then he read it some more to himself after I put him to bed. It's a great book with well-drawn pictures and a funny story. The last page had us rolling. Now I see that there are other Minerva Louise books out there! We can't wait to read them!

Minerva Louise is so wonderfully drawn and cleverly written that I could read this and her other books to my son every night. I absolutely love this chicken, and the myriad adventures she takes. My son and I laugh every time Minerva Louise mistakes a common item for something a chicken might use, and get a kick out of correcting her. Just a great book.

Have read this book to my students and they LOVE Minerva Louise. She is so much like a real child it is uncanny. A must for any child's reading library.
