Bennett Books

I hardly read and most of the stuff I read i never finish anyway, but The Pigeon was a mystery i just couldn't put down. Its about a boy named Brian and his friend Donna asked if they could meet up to talk to each other. Brian agrees then he is on his from New Jersey To New York. He goes to Donna's Apartment and he discovers his best friend Donna is dead. He didn't know it at the time but he was being set up for muder. He pick up a phone that was ringing in the apartment and on the other side of the line was a warning for him to run because the cops were coming. He smelled his jackett and it smelled like whiskey, and he looked down in his hand because of a throbing pain and he saw a knife with blood on it. Is there anyway he could prove his innocence. I found The Pigeon to by a top noch thriller! it was a great story and i think anyone he likes mysterys will love this story.

Jay Bennett's novel is what I think should get 5 stars. It is a great novel. It is about a teenager who has been set up for a murder. He goes through a lot of trouble but finds a way out of it.

i read this book in 9th grade while perusing the school library shelves for something to read that wouldn't take up a lot of my time, nor expand my mind -- as I was in no particular mood to learn anything. Little did I know about the book when I picked it up -- that i WOuLD make me think -- and that it would eat up a lot of my time that next week. The book is about a highschool senior who's framed for the murder of his girlfriend -- and the reason for the murder is more complex than I'd ever guessed.

In reviewing this book I will only comment on one particular character, for brevity's skae, and that is Jo-Jo, the Gypsy who figures as a prominent player in all of this. He is an extremely fascinating character, the kind that live on the edge -- the kind you'd love to meet, just as long as it wasn't in a darkened alley somewhere. And yet he shows an unusual compassion for Brian, the hero, one not rarely seen in (what we first perceive as) a standard villain. The fact that he is not the villain is even more shocking, due to how Jay Bennett (the author) describes his character -- with words like iron, steel, and darkness that don't make us think exactly of heroes, knights in shining armor. And yet he is not the typical antihero, like R.P. McMurphy or Cool Hand Luke. He is more along the lines of Capote's Perry Smith, one of those "native Iagos" that modern literature shuns so much to portray. He is not the villain, but the fact that he could be and is made a good guy in a way that is unimaginable to us upon a surface reading is reason enough to read the book.

While reading poetry is not one of my favorite activities, I was drawn to this volume because of my continuing interest in Edvard Munch's paintings and the mind behind them. Therefore the material in the book that interested me most were the insights into the artist's character and his personal reports of some of his own life experiences. It's always useful to have the originator of a piece of art spell out exactly what was going through his mind at the moment he was in the act of creation. Although discussing his tendency to talk the ears off some of his intimates, he was at the same time often silent and preferred working alone. He complained of constantly having beautiful women distract him in his studio by arriving and then standing between him and what he was trying to paint while disrobing in order to steal his valuable work time merely to satisfy their own selfish lust. Most of us would not consider this a problem but more of a gift from heaven, but then we aren't Edvard Munch.
There are various types of prose and poetry included in this 200-page translation of selected sections from Munch's fifty years of journal keeping. Some of the material flows as easily as water running down a mountainside and navigating some of it is more like shooting the rapids in pitch darkness. Munch took his personal note keeping very seriously as the title of his journal indicates. "We Are Flames Which Pour Out Of The Earth" is not a title for something the author considered light reading. One-segment details witnessing a butcher slaughter an ox. That's not the kind of bedtime reading most people treasure.
In another segment Munch meets Ibsen at one of his exhibitions and explains what he was attempting with some of the paintings about which Ibsen is curious. This happened to be several paintings from his life frieze. Later, he notes that Ibsen uses the meeting and fictionalizes what was discussed in his "When We Dead Awaken."
There is something for everyone in this translation. Some of it seems almost as obscure and disturbing as the artist's paintings, but that's okay. The reader will finish the book with some new insights into the artist and his work. Fifteen of Munch's lesser known visual works are also pictured in the book including one of my favorite woodcuts with gouging, "Man's Head beneath Woman's Breast." Another of my personal favorites, "The Brooch, Eva Mudocci" is also reproduced. This is a must-read for anyone who is truly interested in the man who was Edvard Munch, but be prepared to work a little. This doesn't read as easily as Tolstoy, Margaret Mitchell or Stephen King.

Munch Journal talks about his tormented relationship with Frou L and his unique view of the world through the eyes of a painter and a poet. It's not exactly very autobiographical.

The Private Journals Of Edvard Munch: We Are Flames Which Pour Out Of The Earth is an anthology of writings by Scandinavia's most famous painter, Edvard Munch (1863-1944), perhaps best known for his classic capture of raw human terror in "The Scream". Excerpts taken from his diaries from the 1880s to the 1930s offer poetry that is bursting with the raw pathos of the human condition. Expertly translated by J. Gill Holland, these powerful verses are illustrated with Munch's original black-and-white sketches. Highly recommended for library collections, and an absolute must-read for anyone fascinated by Edvard Munch's life and brilliant work.

As the subtitle which is lines from one of Munch's poems indicates, the Norwegian painter could write poetry that was as vividly intense as many of his paintings, notably his signature painting "The Scream." "The sky was like/blood--sliced with strips of fire..." are lines from another poem of his. The format of all of the sections from Munch's journals edited by the poet and literary critic Holland are broken into lines as if the content was entirely poems. But it is not. Munch's varied entries are perceptive on local events and persons of the day, his relationships with others, self-examination and self-discovery, and psychological insights. "The nervous talk a lot. Craziness often expresses itself in incessant talking. Talking has become...a sort of defense against other people...When I am talking I tax anyone I am with, as if I've taken him prisoner," he writes in the entry titled "On Talking." A friend of the famous writers Ibsen and Knut Hamsen, Munch appreciated the power of words and the skill of writers. He obviously took care to write as precisely and truly as he could, even for his "private journals"; here published more extensively than ever with a faithful, empathetic translation and concise introduction. With these journals, one sees behind the revolutionary paintings to the mind of the extraordinary painter who could make them.

So far in the smallville series I thought this one was one of the better ones. I like the storyline. They did a really good job on the characters. One think I didn't like was it was hard to figure out which season the story took. I think it was in the second season right after Whitney left.

the town of smallville has decided to host a multicultural event
where people of diffrent races can get together and display diffrent parts of their culture. but before the big day can arrive, someone is hellbent on stopping it. homes and property are vandalized and the local sheriff seems as stomped as anyone
as to who is behind it. the book is better than most smallville books but i think the author needs to put my action in these books and make it more like the tv show and less like an 8 year
old's book.

I watch the television series Smallville faithfully along with my book club. Then we review the books. While Cherie Bennett and Jeff Gottesfeld are the better writers in the Smallville book series, this one was not a 5 stars. The book is noble in pointing out the evils of racism. Kudos to the authors for that. The problem is we're in the mindset of the racist classmate the majority of the time, rather than in the mindset of Clark, Lana, Lex, or anyone else. This is a little too much to see his perspective. But, like most of the Bennett and Gottesfeld books, it is well-crafted and true to the Smallville characters.

This book is basically about a boy who is a big time racist and he receives an hourglass from his racist dad for his birthday. When ever he flips the glass, he can pierce the fabric of time (he can move at super fast speed like Clark Kent). This new found power allows him to commit hate crimes without ever getting caught. And with a multicultural celebration coming up in Smallville, it is up to Clark to prevent the bad boy from ruining it for everyone.

This is my favorite Tarot deck. The cards were drawn by the author herself who has many years of experience reading tarot cards. The pictures drawn on the cards were inspired by the author's Native American heritage. The suits are Thunderbirds, Frogs, Turtles, and Butterflies each of which stem from Native American folk lore. The book that accompanies the deck is very thorough and clear in explaining each card, and helps the reader gain insight into what the cards are saying. In the book, the author also writes about her own personal experiences reading tarot cards. I highly recommend this deck. I felt a connection to these cards from the beginning, and the deck is now my favorite.

The reason I was attracted to this deck was because it was round. I adore circular tarot sets, particularly the sadly now out of print Tarot of the Cloisters.

That said, I also read the Medicine Wheel, and I enjoy greatly the set that I use, but it is not round. You see, with round decks, you have 360' of dignified and ill-dignified cards. This round deck understands that, like everything of which I can think in Nature, we ease into and out of our situations. Therefore the round cards enable us to ascertain whether we are just entering into this situation, whether we are finally leaving it, or whether we are on our heads smack in the middle of it.

The quality of the cards is good, too. They will withstand a lot of use, although it may take time to get used to handling their roundness. The images are pencil drawings, and while I have to admit the artist is not the most talented I have seen, she doesn't need to be. The images get their meanings across very well, with just over half the card being dedicated to the image and the rest of the card displaying the cards title. Where appropriate, astrological correlations have been included, and there is also room for the reader to make notes onto the cards too, which may be of great value when learning to use them.

The artist has blended traditions from different tribes and nations into this deck, and it flows very well for the most part. The suits are Butterflies, Thunderbirds, Turtles, and Frogs. This resonate with Sun Bears teachings of the Elemental Clans; Butterflies are air, or swords; Thunderbirds are fire, or wands; Turtles are earth, or pentacles; and Frogs represent water, or cups. (To learn more about these clans, try readings The Medicine Wheel by Sun Bear and Wabun Wind.) I found the correlations very easy to understand and use. The card the Hierophant is shown as a white buffalo in this set. Anyone who has studied the story of the White Buffalo Calf Woman as well as the Tarot should be able to grasp the similarity and thus the reasoning for this quite easily. More images and reviews on this deck can be found at [...].

The book that comes with the set is very detailed, and as the set deviates a bit from the usual 'Rider-Waite' tarot images is very useful. For someone reasonably proficient with the tarot they should be able to grasp using this set fairly easily, although I don't recommend it for absolute novices. A background in or passion for Native American traditions is also going to be an asset when using this set.

This set became one of my favorite as soon as I opened it and started to examine the cards, and I have since purchased several more sets as gifts.

The cards are round about 4" in diameter, because they are literally representing the Star that Never Walks Around ;-) The Suits are : Thunderbirds (Fire Red Wands), Frogs (Water Blue Cups), Butterflies (Air Purple Swords), Turtles (Green Earth Pentacles) and the Court cards: King, Queen, Knight, Page.

The artist and writer are one, and it is rather obvious she is not a great artist but honestly I like the art work better than the book attached. The majors are far too close to the RW to be anything but rather uninspired, though some are rather apropos. It is when you get to the minors, the deck shines. There is no timing other than the four aces for seasons and absolutely no Kabbalic referencesm here Stella breaks with the Rider Waite/Golden Dawn tradition.

But basically despite the difference this does read very RW. Of course since it is circular the author wants you to read it with waning and waxing for the moon, but you can use that as an advanced topic and ignore it in the early days. An example of a Major is the Chariot, which shows a warrior with his horse with what he bring home from victory. I use the message personally, and not the meanings as I think that they capture more of the spirit of the card. The Message for the Chariot is harness your energies in a fruitful direction. The meanings are self control and self confidence; victory. Reversed, misuse of our energies.

But in the minors like the two of frogs (pentacles) which show two bodies trying to become one, it says you must first know yourself before you can love another. I am amazed that the author does not use elements more, I guess she feels that the card placement is more important, it's an interesting departure.

It is a very pagan deck but not a shaman based one. If you would like that instead, look Laura Tuan's Native American Tarot
instead or as a supplement. I have both and while I love Tuan's this is a nice deck that works on a different level and I find having more than one not a problem. If you like Wanda Gonzalez NA Tarot you should definitely get that as well, but I don't like the art work though I do love the symbols.

This Native American based deck is a standard 78 card Tarot with the 8 = Strength, 11 = Justice configuration. The Major Arcana cards retain their traditional names. That is pretty much where the "standard" Tarot ceases.

The suites are renamed: Wands are Thunderbirds, Cups are Frogs, Swords are Butterflies and Pentacles are Turtles. She holds to the Wands equating fire and Swords equating air thought form. Additionally, the deck is round. However, unlike many of the other round decks, this one is not so large (about 4.5 inches across) making it much easier to shuffle and handle. The card backs are decorated with an eight pointed star in the center, so you cannot tell inverted cards by the back.

According to the 200 pages book which accompanies the deck, this deck is meant to be read not only upright, but also in the "waxing" and "waning" to show the phases of the situation. I would not advise reading with this deck until one has read the companion book. I also do not feel this is a deck for a beginning Tarot student to use.

The illustrations for each card take up about 2/3 of the surface of the card. A budding branch acts as a divider between the art and the written title/number of the card. The artwork is very simplistic, drawn by the deck's creator with colored pencils. The pictures depict Native Americans and Native American themes. Do not expect to be able to identify the cards without reading their titles; very often there is no symbolism of the suit in the pips.

The card stock is fairly light weight with a laminate coating. For me, it is a deck that will spend its time on my shelf of collectible decks and not in my basket of working decks.

Stopping for a Spell is a collection of three fantasy stories, all involving annoying visitors of one kind or another. When the adults in the family are ineffectual, the children spring to the rescue.

In Chair Person, Aunt Crista accidentally causes the old striped armchair in front of the television to come alive. Unfortunately, it is a selfish, greedy boor and overstuffed to boot.

In The Three Grannies, an invention grants prayers, but requires careful wording. A thoughtless request creates the SuperGranny, but a clumsy foot saves the day.

In Who Got Rid of Angus Flint?, another selfish, greedy boor moves into the house and says unkind things about the furniture. It doesn't pay to get a baby grand irritated.

These three stories depict strange and uncomfortable happenings in the home. They will give you a new perspective on your own troubles. But don't read them before bed if you are prone to bad dreams!

Recommended for the younger Jones fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of domestic crises aggravated (or solved) with a little magic.

-Arthur W. Jordin

"Stopping for a Spell" will probably never be as well-known as Jones' better works, as the three stories are essentially large-print kid novellas. Nevertheless, they show Jones' particular brand of charm and cuteness, focusing on ordinary everyday things that become infused with magic -- and some very annoying houseguests.

In "Chair Person," the family has just decided to get rid of a hideous old chair when bustling Aunt Christa arrives with a used conjurer's set. Her experiments in magic have an unexpected effect when the chair transforms into Chair Person, who is clumsy, stupid, gluttonous, and who recites commercials constantly. How can Simon and Marcia deal with Chair Person?

"Four Grannies" draws on the attitudes of bossy elderly types. Erg and Emily have four grandmothers, two biological and two stepgrandmothers -- and all of them have ways of making the kids miserable. Erg just wants to be left alone to finish his prayer machine. But when one of the grannies gives him a a chopstick that happens to be magical, the prayer machine causes some unique mayhem...

"Who Got Rid of Angus Filch?" features Angus Filch, the houseguest of your nightmares. His wife threw him out, and now his old college buddy's family can see why: He's controlling, obnoxious, complains constantly, torments the dog, jeers at the furniture, watches raunchy TV shows, never pays, grabs the kids by their hair to punish them, and gets up in the middle of the night to set fire to his supposedly contaminated sheets. But the kids of the family receive unexpected help -- from some very angry furniture.

Diana Wynne Jones is in excellent form here; readers who don't like short stories may still like these. The characters are all delightfully realistic, from the reclusive wannabe inventor to the nightmarish grandmothers who don't want kids in the bathroom too long, lest they become "peculiar." All sorts of hilarious situations arise, such as Emily ("Four Grannies") becoming sickening pious, or Chair Person regaling a church group with the fate of the wildebeest.

As these are all earlier short stories of Jones', ranging from the mid-1970s to late 1980s, they aren't very detailed as some of her current books. But the same absurd, sparkling magic is very present. A delightful little read.

This was a cute book for young kids - in the tradition of Dianna Wynne Jones. It was light-hearted and funny, and I enjoyed it as much as the kids I was babysitting did! Strongly recomended!

Great book i spent lots of nights reading late into the night and im not a person who likes reading!
My favorite book all time!!!

This reader can't help but enjoy just about anything Saxon Bennett (also search under Bennet on some sites) writes. She's a master at bringing together a host of delightful characters and weaving their tale of six (or less) degrees of separation. This not only ensures at least one character for each reader to identify with, it also ensures a book well worth the purchase price because there is more than one story told.

In 'Sweet Fire,' the sequel to 'A Question of Love,' Bennett brings back the enigmatic artist Emerson, the newly-enlightened and liberated Hope, Hope's former unenlightened lover Pamela, Emerson's agent Lauren, and several others from the lesbian-dominated town of Heroy, Arizona. She introduces charming 5-year-old Nicole and Aimee, Pamela's current lover.

Although the foundation of the book is the lives of Emerson and Hope, this sequel centers around Aimee, Pamela, and Lauren. And, although Pamela is more of a supporting cast member than a headliner, her failure with women is the central plot element for this story. Well before the end the reader can't help but pity this character, but it's obvious she's her own worst enemy.

I'll not give away the best parts of the book. However, I will say it's another great story by the talented Bennett... one you'll not want to miss. Of course the prequel has to be read first -- this one does not stand alone. Highly recommended, Suggested accompaniments... a carafe of chardonnay with cheese and crackers...

This is the sequel to the author's earlier novel `A Question of Love'.

The best part was while the novel is set 6 years after the end of AQOL we get to see delightful, and I mean delightfully wonderful, vignettes of the characters lives for the past 6 years.

Hope and Emerson have a 5 year old daughter that is the definition of precocious without being nauseatingly cute. She is a joy and a hoot at the same time.

What I found most fascinating was a different perspective on fidelity from other romance novels I have read, so I hesitate to call this a romance. I don't want to give any plot points away but it was so interesting that adultery is not only tolerated, it is actually encouraged and celebrated by those surrounding one of the couples.

The writing is terrific and the whole novel is laden with humor and passion. I look forward to reading the author's other 8 novels, the most recent is `Back Talk' published in 2006

We've all dreamed of a place where lesbians outnumber everyone else, if only to fuel our private fantasies. Saxon Bennett creates Heroy Arizona for us and plops a manipulative ex-girlfriend that anyone can hate in the midst of a happily nesting couple starting a new life with their daughter. At times Sweet Fire is soap operaish, but I hardly think that's at all a bad thing in a book that is so funny, so sexy and so on target about what happens when a community of lesbians takes over a town. I enjoyed it beginning to end.

I'm a straight woman who found this book quite compelling. As a matter of fact, I abandoned Jonathan Frazen's totally boring THE CORRECTIONS in favor of SWEET DESIRE and thought it was a good decision.

The book zips along and I couldn't wait to find out how the predictable ending would be carried out. I particularly liked the loving community of women and the enchanting Nicole. Enjoy!

This is a great little book. Compact and with great tips of where to see wildlife. Wish I had written it!
Damon Ramsey, BSc. author of "Rainforest of tropical Australia"

This is a great book for someone touring Australia. I would have given five stars had the been more parks listed.

As a wildlife photographer I was very keen to find out where were the easiest places in Australia to see wildlife. This was the only book I have been able to find of this kind. The guide lists the best locations to see wildlife by state, often with very specific details. It also provides a brief description of some of Australia's most popular wildlife and what are the hotspots for viewing that particular species. This guide is not designed to give detailed information on wildlife behavior or physical makeup, it is designed to tell you where you can see wildlife and it does that brilliantly!!

This book is the only one available that describes Australia's national parks from a wildlife-watching point of view - other guides available in Australia concentrate on scenic spots and facilities for holidaymakers.
As such, I found it invaluable in pointing out which parks to visit to see a good cross-section of the continent's unique wildlife, and where to try and spot any particular species.
It describes both parks and selected species of Australian wildlife very attractively, with colour illustrations and inspiring text.

Now for the shortcomings:
The information given often turned out to be wishful thinking, making local park rangers laugh.
Just to give two examples: this book claims common wombats are "abundant" in Giraween National Park of Queensland while rangers there said they were so rare they have only seen one in 10 years; it also claims koalas are "common" in Royal NP near Sydney when in fact they are extinct there. And these are two very popular, frequently visited parks!
In general, the book tends to make seeing much of Australia's unique wildlife sound much easier than it actually is.
My other complaint would be that there is almost no practical information of the sort generally provided by other Lonely Planet guides in this book: no information on public transport [hasn't everyone got a car? ;-)], and none on the costs of accomodation or tours.

Then again, since as I said it is the only guide of its kind to watching wildlife in Australia, anyone interested in the topic is well advised to buy a copy. Just don't put too much trust into its accuracy - something that will hopefully improve in a next edition...

This book had a lot of insight concerning getting to the roots of problems by probing into a person's childhood. Basically, the book has to do with going back in time in your imagination and letting Jesus heal you at the point of hurt. (i.e. healing of memories) It is full of interesting case histories.

I have a serious problem with this book, however. The author describes a case history. She describes how she counseled the person and how they prayed about it. Bingo! The person was totally healed and starting laughing. It seemed too "magical" to me. Realistically, there is usually a struggle involved in acquiring wholeness, and to give the impression that everyone can find healing in one counseling/prayer session is unrealistic.

This book is written so sensibly, with a balanced approach on the subject of inner healing. It helped me find release from the painful memories of my past, joy in the present, and confidence for the future. If you're looking for a good basic resource on the whole subject of healing the whole person, I highly recommend this book!

This book is very sound, well balanced, simple and life changing. The author, Rita Bennett wrote this book from her heart to make a difference in the lives of people, particularily Christians who have "junk" in their past to unravel.

I am grown... I found areas I needed help. My granddaughter is 6, and just recently went through a traumatic experience that could have effected the rest of her life. This book gave the information and action to change that course.

You will enjoy the reading. Very interesting.

I highly recomend this book. For those seeking to understand and work with their beautiful fetish. To grow with them and through the use of them. Thankyou

Hal Zina Bennett has written a very interesting book about using fetishes for meditation and guidance, accessing inner knowing. My only real objection to his book is that it purports to explain how the Zunis use fetishes and what the Zunis believe about animals. There is no evidence to support those claims, in my opinion and my 14 years of working with Zuni fetish carvers. The ideas are his own and seem sound and useful. If only he had not claimed to interpret what Zunis believe, a common failing of non-Zunis when writing about the religious, social, and spiritual beliefs of these wonderful people.

This book is well written and helps fetish collectors to understand the history behind fetishes as well as explaining the meanings of each "animal". The reader learns how to put these powerful pieces to good use for him/herself. The information is usable for everyday life and today's society. Even those without fetishes can gather useful information to assist in gaining control over one's thoughts, actions and meditations. Highly recommend this book to all!

I found this book both fascinating and useful. The author offers a way to bring the ancient tools of animal fetishes into our modern lives, with thorough research and stories from the people who were his teachers. Several anecdotes from his contacts with modern Zunis tell how they continue to use these traditions in their lives--even when living modern lives in the cities. He also draws from anthropological research of Frank Hamilton Cushing, a rather amazing character in his own right, who made his home with the Zunis back in the 1800s. There's a dramatic story, told by a Zuni hunter, about early hunts when the hunter prayed for the spirit of the animal he was hunting, and upon the animal's death shared its last breaths with it. There's a tender story about a Zuni mother, still living by the old ways on the Zuni reservation, who uses her festishes to help her daughter, a nurse in the city, deal with the death of a friend. This well done and respectful book is nicely illustrated with the line drawings of Timothy White, publisher of Shaman's Drum magazine. Its greatest contribution may be that it teaches us ways to honor our sacred relationships with all creatures. This is particularly important today when we need to take much better care of the diverse creatures who help to foster the wellbeing of our planet.

"the question of attribution" is a most brilliant juxtaposition of aesthetics and ethics, a subtle amalgam of truth and honesty explored through the power of art. "kafka's dick," on the other hand, sews the world of fiction with the crudeness of reality by bringing together a most fantastic and imaginative play. bennett remains british wit at its sublime.

I can only comment on the Insurance Man, which was made into one of the best films (for BBC TV I think) I've ever seen - portraying a late 19th/early 20th century manual worker's attempt to get compensation for an industrial disease from a nightmare Kafkaesque bureaucracy. Kafka himself emerges as the Insurance Man of the title at the end (this was in fact Kafka's day job, and his writings reflect the sinister world he lived in).

Whether this would work as a play I don't know, and it might be hard to read on paper, but it made a great film. I only wish I could get it on video (which was how I ended up here writing this review - I was searching the web for a video of the film).

I disagree with the other reviewer: while "Kafka's Dick" is a very fine play, I found "An Englishman Abroad" and "A Question of Attribution" both more substantial and more entertaining. I've since had the chance to the TV film versions of both (produced, I think, for the BBC). If you ever get a chance to see either of these, don't pass it up. Until then, the scripts will do.
