I read this book in three days while on vacation in Maine. I could not put it down. While it does have a prominent theme of action and fantasy, a Sword For The Immerland King is overflowing with new ideas and true wisdom. F.W. Faller starts each chapter with a quote or proverb that relates to the following chapter. They are all very wise and relevant, and I found myself looking forward to reading each new proverb. For example, two in particular that caught my eye: "Who is the greater prisoner: the caged man whose mind transcends his physical boundaries or the untethered being whose mind holds him in a cage?" and "We are forever doomed to suffer with histories defined by those who are able to shout the loudest.". Faller also deals with some spiritual ideas, such as "cymbic" relationships and the myriad layers of the "vorn" (sort of like the soul). The characters, plot, and scenery are very skillfully developed and described. Aside from everything else, FW Faller has an exquisite way with words, a talent that he exercises in weaving this intricate tale that I will most certainly re-read after I've finished the sequel!

I was happily surprised to find out that there are still great fantasy authors out there who can not only spin a good yarn, but also do so in a way that shows morally why some ways of acting are better than others. I eagerly look forward to the next book in the series.

A Sword for the Immerland King is one of the best, if not the best book I have yet read. It is a fantasy good for almost all ages that can comprehend the complex story line. The characters are real and come alive during the book. It is action packed and the world of Tessalindria is an incredible nation with a complete history. I am strongly looking forward to the next book.

The Sword of the Immerland King captivated me with a story in the epic proportion of the Lord of the Rings. With exquisite imagery and just the right balance of suspense and imagination, the author succeeds in creating a book that you never want to put down. Personally, although I read dozens of books a year, I'm not an avid fiction reader. But since I knew this author, I thought I would give it a try. I was not disappointed. I finished it in less than a week and now I'm reading it to my two boys (8 and 6) who only complain when I stop reading to them!

Fantastic job! I am hungry for the second volume.

This is the best Civil War story that I have ever read. Lynn Austin did a fantastic job of writing the true feelings of one young girl. Caroline never agreed with slavery, but it is all she has ever known. This book follows her decision to do something different that will change the world. I found this book very well written and I couldn't set it down. I love books that tell the story of the Civil War. This story outshines anything else I have read about this time period. Lynn Austin is an truly amazing and gifted author who is able to intertwine Gods love through every theme in her books. This is a must read for any fan of History, or Lynn Austin.

This story was put together perfectly. Excellent. I could read it again. If you like civil war period fiction you'll probably love this.

this was a great series and I've started passing it around. Great story and characters.

Thanks!

I read this book in 2 days and couldn't put it down last night until I finished it at 2am. The author gave great details on the war and the characters that you feel like you're part of the story. I also like how the character, Caroline Fletcher, stood up for what she believed and still fought to save her family, even though they didn't agreed what she believed in. I also liked how the author compared the civil war to Bible times. It' never occurred to me how similar the war is to the Egyptian times. Overall, this is a great book that can't be put down without finishing it. I'm looking forward to reading more of Lynn Austin's books.

I picked this book up after reading another Lynn Austin book, Hidden Places. I was engrossed from the first page. I read it in one day. The characters were great, especially the main character. It challenged my views of the Civil War and slavery. It was excellent. The other two in the series are wonderful as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I have read a lot of self help books over the years (I'm over 50) and this is the best one to come out in a long time. If you are at all unhappy with any aspect of your life or ready to make change for whatever reason, this book is a "must read". =)

As I read the case studies in this book, I recognized many of my peers who are in need of the resources that the author provides for developing a renewed personal passion for life. Anyone trying to energize the search for personal direction for the next life stage will appreciate the specific suggestions and examples. I have read this book twice already. Another book that I recommend is" The Five People You Meet in Heaven", and "He Never Called Again."

Her book is magic! Best of all, she is an author who genuinely cares about her readers! An amazingly kind and knowledgable person. Do yourself (and Suzanne)a favor and buy this book. You will absolutlely love it. I am a real fan of hers: you will be also if you read her books.

A dear friend of mine gave me this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dr. Zoglio does an excellent job of describing the keys to happiness. Long ago, I independently arrived at many of the same conclusions about happiness, but I have never been able to articulate them as clearly and simply as Dr. Zoglio does in her book. While reading it, I found myself underlining text and writing notes on almost every page. I have subsequently bought my friend her own copy and also bought copies for my two grown-up children with the hope that the book will "tickle" them, too.

I was a little disappointed in this book. I had expected something original and different. It seemed to be a summary of books I had already read. The ideas were good and there was nothing wrong with the book but it was nothing new. I really didn't find one idea that wasn't similar to something I had heard or read before.

This series is a great read. If you like MTG books in general, this one will not disappoint.

The Gathering Dark does a great job of fleshing out a Dark-ages world, and should be well-liked even by those unfamiliar with the card game. The characters (even minor ones) are engrossing, the villains original and classic at the same time, and the descriptions of spellcasting absolutely enchanting. Since reading the book, I often find myself thinking about all the places I've been, mountains and mangrove swamps, lakes and rivers, and wishing I could do something with those memories. And thats what a fantasy book should do; draw you into itself.

I would consider myself Blue-Green, by the way.

A warning to religious folk: one of the villains is an agent of the Church of Tal, a mideival-christianity-style religion that burns people at the stake, particularly suspected spellcasters. For me, it's a villain I love to hate, but others might disagree. It highlights the difference between religious scholars and true scholars, miracle-workers and mages: one group truly understands their feild, the other just repeats by rote, without understanding or innovating.

Try the book. It feels Right, and thats what matters.

An amasingly well written story talking abaut a young mage Jodah.It is happening during period of time betwen the Brothers' war and the Ice-age, known to Dominarians as the Dark.The world lies in ruins, depostated by the blast of Sylex (Brother's war).Day are getting darker and colder, magic-hating church of Tal rules the lands of Terisiare,goblins raid around and in the secret wizard scool Conclave of mages the leader mage Ith was kidnaped by his own student Marisil who became the new lord mage.

After finishing the Brothers War a few months ago, I finally started reading The Gathering Dark. Brothers War I read over the course of a few weeks, but this book I finished in three days. Contrary to others, I actually liked it more. Grubb has done a fantastic job and I'm very much looking forward to reading the next two in the Ice Age series.

Radia Perlman, author of this book, is one of these great people who pioneered the technology which we today know as the Internet. Her book no doubt should be one of the best in the industry to understand this technology, and so it is. She is also famous for inventing the spanning tree protocol, on which today switches work in almost all major networks. She is an authority on the Internet technology and this makes her book an all time best book, both for reference purposes and for learning purposes.

Anybody who wants to learn more about how the Internet works or networks work, this book is a must have.

This is one of these books which never get old. As a professional in the TCP/IP industry, I know that best material on this subject was published in 90s and is still used for reference. And this book is still newer.

This cover and explain the details about Network

I've never read a technical book by someone with such an enormous ego.

"Interconnections 2nd Edition - Bridges, Routers Switches and Internetworking Protocols" by Radia Perlman is simply a magnificent book. This book is a one-stop introduction to both Layer 2 and Layer 3 of the OSI model. This book will not teach you how to configure equipment - but what this book will teach you is how different protocols interact with each other. Most books only focus on either layer 2 or layer 3, but this is the one book that discusses both layers better than most books discuss each layer individually!

Some typos that I noticed in the 2nd edition:

Page 186 - concerning the 4th bullet - a router would fragment a 1,200 byte packet to a 1,000 byte packet and a 200 byte packet - not a 1,000 byte packet and 2,000 byte packet.

Page 209 - The IPv6 address that starts as FEA0::/10 should really be FEC0::/10

It is obvious when reading this book that Perlman is writing about a subject that she both has mastered and cares deeply about. She holds over 50 patents and has earned her Ph.D. from M.I.T. Simply a great book.

I give this book 5 pings out of 5:
!!!!!

This book is a fantastic voyage through the world of networking. For newbies, it presents complex ideas in an easy-to-understand and entertaining way, keeping you away from an alphabet soup of acronyms. But, it also appeals to experts as well, with its insider's view of the design of various network protocols. Even with many years of networking under my belt, I found myself reading this book constantly saying, "So, that's why they did it that way!" The wealth of information in this book should not be overlooked. The writing style is also crisp, clear, and highly engaging.

I really really like this... characters are developing, and they are turning out to be different than we expected. It's really a nice change from the first books... things are actually happening. Definitely excellent.

Pascal is a gifted storyteller mixing suspense, mystery, intrigue, and romance into her narrative. I found the plot fast-paced and immensely readable. The series just gets better and better! Fans of VC Andrews & Sherry A. Mauro will enjoy these books, too!

This book contains grahic violence (lots of curse words too). "But then she saw the blood, it had poured into a thick black pool around her head, sacrafice almost like a halo. It was more blood than..." This is sick. Young adults don't need to read this. What kind of ideas do they get from this? Reviewed by the mother of a 13-yr old.

this book starts out with us finding out that ella was only grazed with the gunshot wound. she goes back to her house plotting bloody revenge against gaia. heather and ed get even closer leaving gaia feeling like a fifth wheel. this book has a
lot of action and a very surprise ending. this almost beats number 9 for suspense and drama but not quite. it is well worth reading for all you fearless fans out there.

I have loved all the Fearless books so far, and found this one ecspecially intriguing for two reasons.
#1> this is really for the whole series but it counts for this one too. They cuss, they think about things we think about, and they arent perfect little teenage angels. (i know none of you are) It makes u relate to the characters emotions better. That sounds corny and stuff, but i dont care.

#2> awwwww, ima hopeless romantic. (and i emphasize the hopeless part)but Sam and Gaia get together. yea!

#3> ok i said only two, but i lied its 3 now. Ed and Heather. Thats it. I dont like heather (i guess were not supposed to like her) but Ed and Heather are good together

but just and FYI: dont read this unless u have read all the others, everyone knows its no fun then.

It's been a few weeks since I finished this book but the message still sticks in my brain. Randy did an incredible job researching the history and comprised a gripping story that glues you to each page. The plot is so intense and twisting that there's no way of knowing what's going to happen next. The messages are powerful and life-changing. Everyone should read the "City of God Series". Now I'm sad they're over but maybe Randy would see fit to write a fourth book. I'm keeping my copies to read at another time so don't ask to borrow them. I ordered "Oxygen" from Amazon since Randy's writting is so impressive.

1 Star = I've been robbed!
2 Stars = Why'd I finish it?
3 Stars = Good
4 Stars = Excellent
5 Stars = Life changing

The book arrived in excellent condition within the scheduled delivery time.

Thank you,

If you've read Premonition, you already care deeply about Ari, Rivka, and their friends, and the trials they undergo will at times leave you in tears. If you didn't read the previous volume, it won't take many pages for Ingermanson to suck you fully into the action and into the hearts of his characters. Amazingly, the author's command of plot and character shows even more confidence and maturity than in the previous novel--which I highly recommend--and the historical accuracy of the details he weaves into the story is absolutely riveting. Thankfully, his straightforward style steers away from any hint of histrionics, which makes the searing action all the more powerful. This book will haunt me until the series reaches its final resolution--and beyond.

Randall Ingermanson blends fictional and historical characters and events so masterfully that you forget what is real vs. imagination.
The constraints of historical fact didn't deter Ingermanson from weaving a tale of intrigue, mystery, romance and friendship that bends the boundaries of time and space to both entertain and enlighten the reader.
I pray there is a fourth book in the City of God Series.

Randall Ingermanson is to be commended for the diligent work that has gone into putting together a somewhat elaborate and at times believable work of historical fiction. I have read through the series and finished Retribution, yet I was unable to give it more than three stars for the following reasons (don't worry, there are no real spoilers here):

Pros: The plot is captivating, as many have pointed out. Ingermanson knows how to throw in a twist here and there and to keep the pace of the events relatively arduous. There seems to be a nagging problem to solve at the end of almost every section. He develops most of his characters with smoothness and many of them grow on you so that you care about what happens to them. Even one of the 'villains' evolves with a bit of depth and it is notoriously difficult to create a realistic and workable villain. I also like the way in which many of the historical facts are interwoven skillfully in the story and, of course, much of the cultural differences are played out with flair. Ingermanson has an interesting touch with that aspect. However, this brings me to the other side of the coin...

Cons: Historically speaking, the work is sketchy. In his attempt to create an elaborate setting for Messianic revisionism, Ingermanson relies too heavily on post-Second Temple rabinnical writings and far too little on the Biblical information. Historians who spend most of their time on this subject these days recognize that the rabbinical works that were compiled a couple of centuries after the events in which the story takes place are often enough not so very reliable because they are written with post-70AD (not to mention post 135AD) polemical concerns in mind. They can be of some help in reconstructing life before the destruction of the Temple, but it takes a rather sensitive and cautious student to make his way through and even some of the most respected historians, like Jeremias, have fallen far short. Unfortunately, Ingermanson is influenced by precisely this kind of work.

Even though I have a healthy sense of the Jewishness of the early Church in Jerusalem and have studied the literature on the subject, I found that, in developing the characters of those in the assembly of the Jerusalem Church, particularly historical figures--like James, the brother of Jesus, and Paul--this is where Ingermanson breaks down the most. Again, in relying upon the voice of more provocative and liberal studies, he ignores the Biblical account of the same period. The Christians in Jerusalem are, for him, essentially unaltered Jews who accept Mashiach as their Rabban. There is hardly a noticeable difference between them and the Orthodox Jews around them. They attend the Temple sacrifices, celebrate Jewish feasts and festivals, including Passover, circumcise their children, worship in the traditional Jewish manner, repeat the usual Jewish prayers to "HaShem" at the circumscribed times as though ignorant of the exemplary prayer of Christ ('The LORD's Prayer'), treat their women with the same diffidence as every one of their neighbors, bear a great hatred of their enemies, encourage a very personalistic and mystical religion contrary to much of Christ and His Apostles, and generally carry on as though they hadn't heard much about any 'New Covenant.' Even the teachings and the writings of the Apostles are neither discussed nor circulated and the believers in Jerusalem seem decidedly ignorant that a canon has been in the process of formulation as well as Gospels being written. All they know is Torah and even that is so extremely rare in their mouths that, beyond the Shema, it might as well not exist. Even the scribes among them never reason from Scripture when discussing religious difficulties. They argue from emotion and personal convictions or from confusing visions and personal revelations from "HaShem" which everyone seems able to tap into.

Ingermanson never allows his Christians to witness of their faith to any of their neighbors. They wouldn't dream of converting anyone and seem to accept unbelieving Jews as basically on the same path. In fact, even though the couple of Christian tsadikks are exceptional men (while certain leaders are lunatic fanatics and murderers), Ingermanson spends far more time extolling certain Rabbinical Jewish sages as the pinnacle of faith in GOD or developing them into virtual super beings with the most miraculous prayers and profound insights into the "Other Side." The Christians seem in many cases a rather desultory step down from the epic wisdom and power of the Judaic stalwarts and many of the followers of Christ are almost without interest in His teachings on righteousness and the love of one's enemies. They have the hardest time struggling just to feel anything beyond what a decent unbeliever experiences in his moments of triumph.

There are a few other difficulties... including Ingermanson's insistence on demonizing the Romans at every turn (whom he paints rather one-dimensionally) and repeating ad nauseam the fiction that the Jews in Jerusalem at the time had nothing to do with the crucifixion of Christ, whatever the Scriptures might say about it. There is also his insistence on writing the script for GOD and drawing rather less than knowledgeable conclusions as he engages certain theological and philosophical conundrums. To be fair, the reader should appreciate that Ingermanson is not well studied in either of these fields and it is quite impossible to write a good novel without trying to resolve thicker philosophical dilemmas. Nevertheless, though he makes the attempt with more ability than the usual novelist, he too often stumbles over himself in contradiction and empty rhetoric. Somehow, this makes certain of his characters more believable and realistic while others are more stilted and inconsistent.

All in all, the books were enjoyable to read and at times even gripping or emotionally moving, yet they contained too many speed bumps along the way that threw this reader off (and sometimes were a little infuriating when favorite historical persons were abused or maligned and distorted). It was particularly saddening to find so little to connect with in Ingermanson's early Christians, even with a full appreciation of the Jewish culture that they surely grew up with and took part in, yet reinterpreted and some cases altered or resisted and abandoned. There was never any seeming cognizance of other Christians around the civilized world, many of whom (according to Scripture) sent money to Jerusalem to aid the Church there during the drought.

Biblical history takes a distant back seat in these works, so if that consistent perspective is what you're hoping for, you will be disappointed.

Seven Sisters is quite an enjoyable read. This book introduces some new characters to the Benni Harper series and makes for an mildly suspenseful read.

"Seven Sisters" is the seventh novel in the Benni Harper series. Benni Harper, a lifelong resident of the mythical Central california Coast town of San Celina, is a former cowgirl, a quilter, and now has a job as the curator of San Celina's folk art museum. Benni, who was widowed when her first husband died in a car accident, has been married to San Celina's cheif of police Gabe Ortiz for several years at the time of this story.

The story starts off with a bang when Gabe's nineteen-year-old son Sam tells Benni and Gabe that his girlfriend is pregnant, and they plan to marry. The story rapidly becomes very complicated when the identity of Sam's girlfriend is revealed. She is Bliss Girard, one of Gabe' rookie policewomen and, more importantly, a grand-daughter of the Brown family, one of the town's oldest and most powerful families. When one of the extended members of the Brown family is murdered at the engagement party for Sam and Bliss, the family struggles with the realization that there is most likely a murderer among them. As the police search for the murderer, the Brown family tries to keep all their secrets hidden. And Benni Harper struggles with trying to maintain a balance between her natural sleuthing capabilities and her role as the police chief's wife and future mother-in-law to one of the Brown family grand-daughters. Benni also experiences more than a touch of jealousy when Gabe's gorgeous ex-wife Lydia comes to San Celina to meet her son's fiancee.

The California setting is richly described with the conflicts between cattle ranching, horse racing, and grape growing.

Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down. As I mentioned above, "Seven Sisters" is the seventh book in this series but it was the first one that I've read. What a happy discovery to find a whole new series with a wonderful setting and a richly developed cast of characters. I'm looking forward to reading all the other books in this series!

I started reading the Benni Harper mysteries "in the middle" of the series. I was hooked and immediately bought the whole series so I could follow the storyline thread. Her stories are very different from other mysteries with "predictable" plots but if I were to expand on that, I'd give away the unfolding of the Seven Sisters story. Actually, Earlene Fowler has a marvelous gift for drawing one into the lives of her characters. She makes me laugh, and provokes a "being there" frustration (empathic with Benni's frustration)with the events. Her stories are not all nice and neat - hey, life isn't nice and neat. But they aren't what I would call icky, gruesome and gory either. If she has written a series of "chick-lit" mysteries, it's chick-lit at it most fun. Her subject matter is also fascinating as a learning experience. That's from a fan who is nearly as old as Dove! Don't pull just one book (such as Seven Sisters) from the series - start at the beginning and become part of the community - flawed tho it may be. It's laugh-out-loud funny, snuggle-up-under a quilt comfort, confusing and unnerving chaos - and an absolutely marvelous read (even if, but please don't, read out of the series order). I'm so glad I discovered Benni Harper and her family and friends!

I love this series -- I am an unabashed fan. Even though I figured out the mystery very early on, I still enjoyed it very much.

This book is the rare mystery where the murderer never gets a legal comeuppance.

This is the seventh book in the Benni Harper mystery series and takes place in San Celina, California.

Benni Harper the curator of the local folk art museum and her husband Police Chief Gabe Ortiz seem to have worked out a lot of their earlier marital problems when Sam, Gabe's son tells them that his girlfriend Bliss is pregnant. Bliss, happens to be a member of the very wealthy and influential Brown family.

Both families seem to rally around the young couple and even Gabe's beautiful ex-wife appears for the first time in this series. At a party celebrating Bliss and Sam's engagement, a Brown relative is found murdered. Benni tries not to become involved in the case, but is forced into helping by Ford Hudson the officer in charge of the homicide investigation.

This interesting story is a little darker than the other mysteries that Benni had been involved with and takes us into the tangled web of old family secrets and the truth about the seven sisters.

I bought this entire series for my female junior high school age students so that they could have books that they could relate to and get much needed life lessons from them. After starting this first book I couldn't bring myself to present the books to them. The book sounds like it's written by somebody's mother trying to teach them write from wrong. The author keeps throwing in spiritual lessons every two lines, rather then letting the story speak for itself. The language was unconvincing and unnatural. Are there really kids out there that talk like that? Reading it was kind of torturous. But I did finish the book so I could see how all the drama was resolved. Will I finish reading the series? Not sure if I can bring myself to do it.

Staying Pure#1 Very well done. Able to see clearly the lettering. Excellent stories, helpful for the elderly as well as the youth.

Originally brought this book for my pre-teen daughter because she read all the books in the "Carmen Browne" pre-teen series. I read this book first and decided it was not for pre-teens. The story lines are too mature for her now. Because the stories are true to life and well written, I plan to save them for her to read later.

Mrs. Moore has an excellent way of addressing real life issues and demonstrating how young people can make God honoring choices in each situation. I read two of the series and plan to read the rest.

I bought this book and book II at my local library book sale. It was in the religion section, and I thought the book cover was interesting, especially after I saw it was written by an African-American writer. I didn't realize at the time that the book was directed towards teen girls, but I enjoyed the book tremendiously. Not only teen females have spiritual blocks...Anyway, I loved both books and even got my mother to read, she enjoyed them as well. I will be reading more books from this author and you should as well!

In the story Staying Pure by Stephanie Perry Moore, this story talks of teenage relationships and decisions one might have to make in those relationships. The main characters in the story start out with Payton Skyy, a senior in school who is the cheerleading captain, president of the honour society, vice president of the Student Goverment Association, senior editor of our newspaper staff, and a debutante.

Dakari Graham, Payton's two-year boyfriend in the begining of the story, an honour student, and the star of thier school. In their relationship Dakari wants to have intimate relations with Payton, but because of Payton's Christian views and her belief's in them she declined to them.

She very much loved Dakari but knew that it was wrong to do so. Dakari, who wanted to have intimate relations with Payton had a one-night stand with a girl named Starr at a restaraunt, and left Payton for this girl. Payton was devistated and did many rash things to win him back even thoughit was the same reason she had retaliated, and even thent her efforts were meaningless.

It took her a long time to ease the pain of what Dakari had done to her and leave her. She stopped eating she was depressed, the usual thing that happens when a girl gets her heart broken. Then after she got passed it a little, she had even more problems with her friends, 1 had cheated on her and the other was tested positive for pregnancy, she helps them through this.

She then starts to get to know another boy of her acquiantance, Tad Taylor and they spend some time together. I think that Tad is a perfect match for Payton and a very good influence on her as well. This book helps young christian woman and men get a good godly view on things.

I think this book could have given a bit of a better ending but it was still a very good book to read. Also i would like to recommend this book for mature audiences only and at the very least 16+ if anything.

Teeth Are Not for Biting (Best Behavior Series)

This is a great book to read to toddlers to teach acceptable and unacceptable behavior. It has colorful pictures and using simple words easy to understand. This book also offers tips and advice at the end for parents and caregivers.

I wish I would have seen this book four months ago when my now 17 month old toddler was in his biting prime. Nevertheless, I still purchased it (his biting had already significantly decreased) and I'm very happy I did. Once in a while his biting will "resurface" and home we go after day care to take a look at his "Teeth Are Not For Biting" book. The words are very simple and catchy, the illustrations are perfectly colorful for a toddler (white and bright teeth being the focus) and he actually gets the hint that "teeth are not for biting"! I highly recommend this book to any parent of a baby/toddler. Good to have, especially before the problem begins.

The best behavior series is tackling children's less than desirable behaviors one by one;preventing kicking, hitting, the sharing of germs, tail pulling, and now, biting. The text highlights the benefits of teeth for activities such as chewing and smiling as well as acknowledging situations where children might want to bite and alternatives to biting. A variety of well-drawn illustrations present a variety of children in multiple environments. The text does not follow a predictable pattern-while some phrases are used repeatedly, the pattern changes a few times over the course of the text, from "Teeth are not for biting" to "Biting hurts" and back again, which may be confusing for the 0-3 year old audience. Parents may appreciate the resources for discouraging biting and assistance with teething available at the end of the book.

My son had a real problem w/ biting, but after reading this book over and over, I really saw a reduction. It's a cute book, great pictures. Def would buy it!

As the director of an early childhood facility, we go through cycles of biting with the children. This book is one of the most effective books we use to help children, families, and teachers work through this difficult developmental stage. We have two copies--one for the classroom and one to send home for the parents to read with their child.
