Burns Books

I don't like to review books, but I love the couple in the books "It Takes Two" and "Three's A Charm" and so will you. Mini & Reuban are a witch and warlock who have been punished by the high council and are earth bound for a while. This delightful couple will enchant you. They still find ways to charm the lucky humans who come into their reach, as will Mini's "feline" companion. I just wish Adrienne Burns would give us a third installment of this charming couple's hijinks!

After two centuries of marriage, Mini and Reuben Costello have never fallen this low. Due to the antics of his friend, the Witch Council stripped Reuben of his Warlock powers before sending him to live among the mortals. His spouse Mini voluntarily joined her beloved husband. Now they live in an apartment, struggle with human frailties such as cooking, and earning a living working at the Romance Connections dating service.

qJuvenile psychologist, Dr. Lance Wilder has not dated in four years or since his wife died. His friend Casey sets him up with Romance Connections. Lance reluctantly goes for his interview where he meets owner Holly Wentworth. The two humans are instantly attracted to one another. However, he suffers from the ghost of his first wife and his own father's lack of love towards him. She believes in fairy tale love, but not for her. Mini and Reuben decides they are meant for one another and plan to insure the duo connects.

THREE'S A CHARM is a humorous blending of a contemporary romance with major magical elements. The story line is breezy, enchanting, and simply fun to read. The characterizations are strong, leaving readers enchanted by Lance and Holly while believing in witchcraft. Adrienne Burns casts a spell on her audience that will send fans in search of her other works.

This is an excellent book. The author writes about the early Vanderbilt Cups, the Savannah races and early Indy 500's. It is lively and easy to read. All parts fit together well and the author also discusses current events around the world that happened during the times of the races. I'be been reading books about automobile racing for over 40 years and this was one of my favorites. I hope Mr. Burns has more books in the pipeline.

A great read! My interest in history led to my reading this recommended book. Not only does the author write the history, but also he connects this history to events in the U.S. and abroad. A great deal of technical information is included for those who have this interest.

And how refreshing to read a book that is truly well-written. This author knows language and how to use it effectively. I also enjoyed his use of pictures (reprints of photos) to enhance the text.

I'm now buying it as a gift for others. That's the highest rating I can give a book.

This book has 4 different ways to do the same quilt along with several wall hangings. Its done in a stip quilt method so you can use the ideas from each strip in other quilts as well.
It has step by step intructions that are great for the first time quilter to the seasoned quilter.
WONDERFUL BOOK!!!!!

As with all of Eleanor's books, this one will not disappoint! The instructions are superb and very easy to follow, even for a beginner. The illustrations take you step by step through the various projects and provide inspiration and ideas for other applications.

This third installment of Trigun Maximum is a bit bloodier than the rest of the series so far, but it's very good. The first five chapters are pretty much non-stop action in which Vash is faced off against Emilio, the puppetmaster, and Wolfwood is facing the horrific Grey the ninelives. Wolfwood's challenge is that he's facing a seemingly unstoppable juggernaut (who can somehow manage to move his arm even after it's no longer connected to his body). Vash is forced to half heartedly fight against the puppetmaster while trying to avoid taking human life in the process. A difficult prospect considering Knives' henchmen know all about Vash's love of humanity.

The philosophical tension between Wolfwood and Vash continues to grow. In the last chapter Wolfwood learns more about Vash's past. We are also introduced to some of Vash's old aquaintences.

The art work is fantastic. The charachters, addicting. Nightow has managed to create an interesting mix of philosophy, action, and plain fun into his series. It's hard to read Trigun without forming a sort of attachment to Vash and his friends. At the same time it's even easy to sympathise with Knives, knowing all of our human failings (and knowing a little more of the brothers history). I can't wait for volume 4.

Well, I just got volume three yesterday and finished it in a little over an hour. It's that addicting!! I love the new Trigun Manga from Dark Horse, and I perfer it over the Anime now that I'm hooked. The characters are more fleshed out, others appear at different times, and some are completely different.

Let us take this volume for example. In the Anime, Grey the Ninelives was an android. Not so in the Manga, for he is flesh and blood with a name that makes far more sense this time (after one version of him dies, another sprouts out of his body). Also, there is more to the mysterious Leonoff the Puppetmaster, a character that Vash seems to have met in the past. I won't give away too much more, but it was very interesting to read this, IMO, better take on the series.

I've heard people talk about how Nightow's art can be somewhat sketchy, and while I see where they are coming from, I still don't understand the complaints. In the heat of action, Nightow is all about detail; it's only when he switches to a more light-hearted/comical scene that details vanish. But seriously, if you look at the art from other Mangaka like Kubotite, they do the exact same thing. It's a style in Japan, deal with it.

As I said earlier, the story for Maximum is far better to me than that of the Anime. While I do like the Anime, there are so many filler episodes that it can become boring after a while. I've even fallen asleep during a couple. Plus, with Cartoon Network almost always playing Trigun, there really isn't a huge reason to me to buy the DVD boxset, considering it's $150. I believe Maximum ends at volume 6, so in all I'll have spentabout $80 on that, so for my money, the Manga is the cheaper and more accessible way to relive a favored franchise. That, and you can read them first in the stores.

This book is a great tool to anyone newly interested in the Bard. It has helped me greatly in learning how to appreciate Robert Burns works.

This book is essential to understanding the literary giant that Burns was and the keen insight he had about mankind.This is the primar of the multitude of books devoted to him.

This is the best college guidebook, I have read, it is almost like visiting the university without ever leaving your house. A must have for every highschool student trying to decide between Pittsburgh schools. Don't settle for the typical college guidebook, go with College Prowler.

Not knowing Pittsburgh at all, or the University of Pittsburgh, I feel that after reading this guide I have a much more detailed impression of both. That's what is so great about this book, you don't jsut get wonderful info about the school and its academics/athletics.diversity, etc, but also about the area in which the school is located.

If you really want to know how youll do as a Husky, this book is your bible.

Besides that, it's well written from a student's perspective and dare I say it, fun to read. I like the student quotes sections and the bar/restaurant guide. But, no worries, it's got great info on everything academic and etc. Buy the book!

What really impressed me was the detail of information given and the fact that it was written by a student. I think anyone looking at this university should get this book. You won't be disappointed!

This is by far my favorite book from my childhood. My copy is now over 30 years old and used often. I was going to buy the new version for my children, but the illustrations in the new version don't do the story justice. The illustrations by Doris Burn in the original book (this one)are absolutely fabulous!

I love this story, the illustrations tell most of the story, which is why I don't understand why the re-print used new ones, they don't contribute to the story at all, it was very disappointing, which is why I ordered the old one.
