Wayne Mausser has updated his original version of this book, and he did a marvelous job of it. As a card-carrying Diehard Cubs Fan of 49 years, I found the original good reading and informative. I gave a copy to my son to read. It helped make him into a Cubs fan, but better than that, it made a reader out of him. I'm planning to give the new edition to my grandsons to make them into Cubs fans and hopefully to encourage them to be readers as well. This book is suitable for children with a third-grade reading level all the way up to adults who like to relive their childhoods as Cubs fans. It's a fun read that's both entertaining and informative, a magical combination for any reader.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my brother. The whole family enjoyed it.

"Justice" is not Dan Mahoney's best novel (that would be "Black & White") but it is still a great read about the NYPD, specifically a pair of Detectives vs. a highly skilled vigilante. Considering there at at least a half dozen tv series about the same general subject (Law & Orders, CSI, etc), it is a credit to Mahoney's skill as an author to keep the reader not just interested, but fascinated by his page-turners.

This is a funny book but not in a gentle "cheeful" way. The main character, John, is a bureaucrat and a "flunky" for higher-ups, and he is desperate for any kind of social and professional success. The humor comes from his interactions with all kinds of flakes and hustlers in high education (something I've learned about here at Michigan State University) "Flunky"'s style is high energy--it's stylistically one of the most accomplished novels (e-books or otherwise) that I've enjoyed in a long time.

The purchase of Heidi was partly a whim and also a return to childhood for a group of women "of a certain age." We have a book discussion group that meets weekly to talk about small portions of a selected book. Someone suggested that we re-read a book from our childhood, and the decision fell on "Heidi." It was an interesting experience to re-encounter a book we hadn't read in at least 35 years.

There were parts that we remembered as if we had read them yesterday, and other parts where we were able to examine the author's writing technique, the descriptions that were typical of the time when the book was written, and the life lessons that were presented in a very pleasant way.

Because we were reading from a variety of editions, we noted that cover pictures varied from the dark haired child that most of us remembered to a presentation of a blond child. Those individuals who had illustrations included in their books, some of which had been owned for 50+ years, happily shared them with the group, producing many more comments about clothing, the Alpine scenery, and the characters as we had imagined them.

Discussing a book from our childhood is not a regular practice of the group, but for this one time, it elicited many personal comments about our memories and our admiration for the author and her technique.

I just love this book because of the sheer volume of questions and answers it contains. Perfect for hours of challenging your buddies or familiy members.

The book contains some very interesting facts about Colorado. It is divided into several different subjects, which is nice. The author should write an updated version of this book.
