Keef is hilarious!Review Date: 2001-09-21
Don't wash this bookReview Date: 2001-03-17
Keith Knight's book is a madcap look into his world of public transportation, psycho roommates, dating, and cartooning, as well as being an insightful, intelligent look at racism, social politics, and other issues. I especially love the ones about riding the bus and about when Keith and a friend went to a gay bar. My jaw still hurts from laughing. ....
He wears a skirt and does backflips! EwwwwwwwReview Date: 2004-03-08
The K Chronicles are one of my favorite strips. Worldly-concious, thought provoking, or for no reason at all. Tales of touring with his band, trying to find a vegetarian restaurant in Texas, or trying to get laid (never happens), are all part of this collection. Everyone will find something to relate to in his strips because it's about you and your neighbors. The stoner next door, the roommate you never ever see but leaves a pile of dishes for you to clean, your fledgling band touring Bar Mitzvahs and beer halls. Yeah, it's all in there.
And since Keef is A) not a giant MTV pop-star, and B) quite down-to-Earth, he will sign your book (or body parts) for you if ask him nicely. So, when he DOES become that unapproachable MTV pop-star you can say you knew him before the money clouded his brain and the creativity went down the toilet.
Don't forget to check out his other books: FEAR OF A BLACK MARKER, WHAT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN, and RED, WHITE, BLACK & BLUE: the first and brand-spanking new collection of Keef's single panel daily comic, (th)ink.
Check out his website at www.kchronicles.com for more info and artwork. Also check out his band The Marginal Prophets (imagine if Frank Zappa and Digital Underground made a CD, it would sound so not like this, but just more the same. Right?)

Buy this book. Knight's a freaking genius. He's a generation X'er (maybe that's why he doesn't get a lotta press), but that makes him the cartoonist of my generation, as far as I'm concerned. If you were born after the Kennedy assassination, but are old enough to remember the Bicentennial, there outta be a law; you should be REQUIRED to buy this book. Or maybe our parents should be required to buy it for us.
Oh, just get it.

For those too young to read James HerriotReview Date: 2008-03-06
I think these are sweet and engaging books for the younger independent readers. The paragraphs are generally quite short, and there are black and white illustrations. My fourth grader is reading this, and while I wish he were reading more challenging material, I do think that these books are a nice stepping stone. There is a lot of dreck in the YA market these days, but these seem good so far. I am pleased and will encourage my son to read more of them. I think that many children who really enjoy these Animal Ark books would love the James Herriot books, such as "All Things Bright and Beautiful."
If you or yours like this book, I would also recommend the old classic Billy and Blaze books by C.W. Anderson. Unfortunately a lot of the other books I remember so fondly are now too "dated" for the Nintendo set (Kipling, for example). One way that I do get him to take in some of the classics, though, is by reading them aloud at bedtime: We have read The Little Lame Prince, and are working our way through the Narnia books (although I think there is a lot of British vocabulary that he is not getting). We have also enjoyed reading a couple of the Danny Dunn books by Jay Williams. While my older son was reading Harry Potter in second grade, I think, this child enjoys more practical stories, and they can be a little harder to find. Or so it seems.
Good luck and keep reading! If you enjoyed this review, please check the box. Thank you very much.

Sticky sweet!Review Date: 2004-09-24
If you don't know anything about farm animals you may enjoy this story; if you are a farmer(particularily a sheep farmer) you will say "Hold on a minute!" numerous times.
The illustrations are lovely; a redeeming feature.
To recap: rather cloyingly sweet & a tear-jerker to boot. Don't quote any of the sheep or wolf "facts", this is definitely a fictional tale.
Words of WisdomReview Date: 2000-02-03
Yates uses rich language and imagery in her writing that vividly remind one of the simple things in life. "She snapped out a man's shirt...fastening it with pins to the line."
This book treats, with sensitivity, the loss of one's beloved pet. It portrays strong family values and work ethic from a simpler time.

Essays that , like, prove it's amazing and stuffReview Date: 2005-05-26
A box office failure shined to gold by looking-back critics and an army of fans, Blade Runner is now the requisite sci-fi inspiration film. It's still a stylish but bleak, cold film and has rightfully earned its supercult status. A lot of people responded to it in their own way.
The book has plenty of food for thought, but it gets to be much after a while. Authors compare the various themes in Blade Runner and use this as a springboard for ruminations on Frankenstein, feminism, film noir, you name it, Blade Runner has it. Slave narrative, horror film, it's in there. And there's room for an updated version as plenty of published material has appeared since this book did in the early 90s. Recommended for the obsessed Blade Runner fan--and there is no other kind.

Sheep: Small-Scale Sheep Keeping for Pleasure and ProfitReview Date: 2008-06-17
After culling the pages about eating sheep and sheep history there are only about 85 pages of quite compact and very useful information on sheep keeping. In parts of the book, every little sentence seem to contain at least one good advice for the sheperd. However, I wish it would have covered topics in a little more detail. I sometimes asked myself "why?" or "then what?", but picked up so many good ideas from the book it was absolutely worth reading. Whether new to sheperding, or an experienced sheperd, there should be plenty of snacks for you. I bought this book along with "Living With Sheep" by Chuck Wooster, and found this one an excellent supplimentary.

Another wonderful Hobby Farm book from Sue Weaver...Review Date: 2006-10-29
The author (Sue Weaver) writes in a wonderful down-to-earth and very easy to understand style. She covers everything sheep such as: choosing the right sheep breed for your needs, sheep disposition & behavior, sheep housing, nutritional needs, shearing & selling fleece, hoof trimming, delivering lambs, common sheep diseases and how to vaccinate your sheep. Whether you're a total novice like me or an old pro, I think you could learn a lot from this book.
This book is put together on nice glossy paper stock. It also has tons of excellent photos. What I love most is that the author shows many photo's on how to correctly do many procedures w/sheep, such as vaccinations. Also this book sports an excellent resource directory. The directory includes an online directory, sheep organizations, sheep suppliers, state & university resources and my favorite the book and periodical guide to all sheep.
The only thing I would've liked in here (tho, I know it goes way beyond the scope of this book) is a chapter that had every sheep breed with photos and characteristics listed. Tho, the author does go a bit into what breeds are best for milk and for wool.
This book is a great investment. I also have Sue Weaver's other book on raising chickens and it is wonderful as well. If you're reading this Sue, how about a book on raising Ducks and one on raising Alpacas next? :)

Sweet as can be, and gorgeous to look at...Review Date: 2003-05-19
Dohaney's theme isn't new. Her young lamb Tinka follows her dreams, finding the courage to accept her own individuality and seeing life beyond the confines of the tiny farm where her family lives. What's special is that the discovery of this courage does not come at the expense of that family unit--in fact, it enhances Tinka's place amongst the herd (and not in some scary conformist way, either, but in a warm and fuzzy good way).
Adding further to the specialness of the book is Dohaney's unique vision. Tinka's world is not a conventional one. It's filled with oddball characters and a vivid imagination that allows a field of flowers to be seen as a giant spider by those unwilling to look beyond their fenced-in pens. The illustrations have a loving depth of detail, with small touches like ever-present insects used to add an extra dimension to Tinka's farm, bringing it all to life. Dohaney's soft colors are gorgeous, too, and you'll want to spend a good amount of time looking at them even after you're done reading the words.
All in all, a special debut. I plan to buy a couple of copies and give them to friends who have some children on the way, so that they can share the delight I've found in TINKA.

Revenge? Passionate, sweet and so entertaining!Review Date: 2008-03-22
Lily Wharton was the girl you remember in high school, smart, beautiful, talented and just plain sweet. She had always loved Delcan but never had the strength to stand up to her family, friends nor the town. She just went along hiding her emotions from her family and in the end, was the most responsible for breaking his heart when she didn't stick up for him and told a lie. Alie which meant Delcan had to leave town.
The Gates and the Wharton's were like the Hatfield's and the McCoys. The town mansion which oozed society and wealth stood on cliff and symbolized all of the feuds these two families shared plus the town mill. Delcan's family literally stole this away for the Wharton's years ago, so when Delcan's mother passes away, he comes back to settle the estate and means to sell everything.
Lily adores the old house and has plans to save the home her family once owned plus restore the old mill and bring jobs back into her hometown and boosting back the economy. Her family, the town, all of them are against Delcan. Ho ever, what Lily doesn't count on is her strong attraction for Delcan, her feelings and emotions are torn in two.
This is a lovely love story, one you won't want to miss. I adored Delcan and wept when his dreams finally came true!

4.5 blue ribbon Romance Junkies reviewReview Date: 2008-01-04
Declan Gates has made a name for himself as a company raider since leaving Blackrock. The last thing he wants to do is have any part of saving the town that shunned him and while he's never forgotten Lily or the kiss they shared that resulted in the end of their friendship.
Declan isn't happy to arrive in Blackrock and discover that Lily has taken it upon herself to clean up the house he inherited after his mother's death. He has no intention of ever living there again but there's no way he's going to gracefully cave and let little miss perfect Lily have her way either. He knows that she's been trying to contact him but had chosen not to return any of her calls.
It's been years since they'd last seen each other and the sexual tension is still as strong as ever - so is the family feud that seemingly makes any romantic relationship between them impossible. If Lily truly wants his cooperation, she's going to have to meet his price. How will he feel when she makes the decision to take her company public in order to raise the funds to meet his demands? As a company raider Declan knows the risk she's taking and he's determined that he will have it all - the woman, her company, the house, and the town at his mercy. Will he come to regret his decisions and outlook on life?
Jennifer Lewis tells a captivating tale with BLACK SHEEP BILLIONAIRE. Declan's antagonistic attitude is almost funny because you can tell that he doesn't truly want to be the jerk everyone expects him to be. Lily is the town's `golden girl.' She can do no wrong so dating the returned bad boy and experiencing first hand the disdain he's suffered his entire life is a real eye opener for her. There's an emotional connection between them that can be felt from the very first page and really draws the reader into the storyline. Sexy, exciting and emotional this is a book well worth picking up and investing a few hours reading.

a thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable taleReview Date: 2008-01-03
Lily Wharton and Declan Gates were friends when they were young, despite the cruelty their town directed at Declan's family. Or rather, they were, until they shared a mind blowing kiss that scared Lily so badly she turned her back on him.
Now Declan is back, ten years later, an extremely successful business man determined to get his revenge on Lily and the entire town. What better way than to fight her for her family's old homestead and accompanying mill, and tossing a little seduction into the mix?
Lily and Declan have both changed in the ensuing years but one thing remains the same... Declan's kiss still has the power to enflame Lily's passion and make her throw sensibility out the window. But is that enough to forgive the heart breaks of the past and Declan's current schemes?
I've been following Jennifer Lewis' development as a writer since her debut book earlier this year and she has steadily improved her skills with each successive book. She has the ability to take a classic story and turn it into something fresh and new. This is something very important to me as I always enjoy seeing a new spin on a traditional plot. I am always happy to read one of Lewis' books, knowing I'm in for a treat.
In Black Sheep Billionaire we have a modern day Romeo and Juliet story with a twist... and without the tragic ending. The Gates and Wharton families have hated each other for multiple generations, ever since the Gates family gained ownership of the Wharton family home. It certainly doesn't help that the whole town frowns on the wild Gates family and throws all their support behind the Whartons. Declan and Lily defied everyone with their friendship growing up and continue to do so as they develop a new relationship now that they are both back in town and all grown up.
Lily and Declan learn to overcome their past mistakes and the people's perception of their relationship to make a new reputation for themselves that is based on love, not hate. Watching them forgive and forget past mistakes to grow stronger in each other makes for a thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable tale in Black Sheep Billionaire.
