Nothing less than the first book, this is a Must read for any Christian.

Before I read the prayer of Jabez I always wondered about praying for blessings, but this follow up to that let me know that God really does want to bless his children. Thanks Bruce for making so easy to uderstand God wants to bless us!!

This is a companion to the book 'Prayer of Jabez' by Bruce Wilkinson. Here Bruce discusses in greater detail the steps to take in making Jabez's petition to God a part of daily life. He has also included readers' accounts of the ways their lives have been enriched by prayer in the unabridged Library of Congress tapes. A very inspirational read.

Not the best for very young children, because a fox dies, this book is a meloncholy story in the beginning. It makes you see what Ereth thought like. Good book to read eventuallly, but for readers who can take it. a good story about a good deed.

I am the reviwer of Chicago and Alice and Wonderalnd. Ereth's Birthday shocked my life! It's comedy, song, action, drama, and sandness! I loved this book and you will to! There is only one bad scary part for some children, a mother wolf dies in a claw trap, and there is a picture with blood. But, other than that, the book is fine!

Ereth's Birthday is a book that is exiting, full of adventure, and hilrious. It was Ereth the porcupine birthday so some mice and Ereth's best frind Poppy, a mouse came. Ereth gotgrumpy and dicided he did not want them right then, so he left. Ereth went by a house and heard people talking then, the people left. Ereth saw that there was salt and he loved salt but he heard creing so he went there. I am not going to spoil it for you but, some how he got stuck with 3 little foxes. When he got there he did not know how to do it.
The book was hilarious because Ereth would talk to the foxes in this really weird way. He'd make them do chores yelling at the top ofhis lungs. Ereth made them hunt for there food, and they did not know a thing abote hunting. They finally got their ways though. Read Ereths Birthday because it is a great book and you will not want to go some other plase you will not want to go some other plese you want to ceep reading.

By Jamie Age 9

You know the old, grouchy, self-centered Ereth, Right? Well, in this book Ereth's Birthday, Avi explains Ereth's true feelings, fear, empathy and all. When Ereth runs away because he thinks that Poppy forgot him, a fisher goes after him. Not long after, Ereth meets an almost dead Fox and her last request is for him to take care of her kits. Will Ereth do this good deed? If so will he make a good foster parent/guardian. If the real dad comes home will he be angry?

Ereth was an old grouchy, self-centered porcupine. He was old because he was born many years ago. He was grouchy because he was always cursing and swearing saying things like "salamander-sap salad" and "Monkey marbols." He was self-centered because on his birthday she ran away not caring what his best friend next door neighbor thought.

By the end of the book, Ereth was still old and grouchy in a good way. He tried to change and from what I know he was succeeding. He was caring because he accepted the mother Fox's pleading and tried to be nice.

I recommend this book to absolutely everyone. If you want to read this book, I recommend you read Poppy, the first book in the series, first. Avi is a great writer. If you don't believe me, then read it for yourself!

Erethizon Dorsatum - better known as Ereth, the self-centered, foul-tempered old porcupine - is having a birthday. And he fully expects his best friend Poppy, a deer mouse, to help him celebrate in a grand manner. But Poppy has gone off somewhere with her husband, Rye, and it appears she has forgotten all about it. "Belching Beavers," says Ereth, "I am not angry!" (Though, perhaps he is - and more than just a little.)

Ereth knows his special occasion deserves a special treat - even if he has to get it for himself. And what treat could be more special than tasty salt? But the nearest salt is located deep in the forest, in a cabin occupied by fur hunters, who have set out traps to capture the Dimwood Forest animals. In one of the traps, Ereth finds Leaper the Fox - who, with her dying breath, begs the prickly porcupine to take care of her three boisterous young kits, Tumble, Nimble, and Flip. "Jellied walrus warts!" Ereth exclaims, but reluctantly agrees.

Certainly this day is not going as he planned - and it's only just the beginning! Not only does Ereth suddenly have a rambunctious new family to take care of, but he's being stalked by Marty the Fisher, the one creature in Dimwood Forest who can do him harm. And Bounder, the father of the three little foxes, remembers all too well the nose full of quills he got a while back from the grumpy old animal who now fancies himself the leader of the den. He too sets out to show Ereth who's boss. Throw in an unexpected snowstorm, and all in all, it adds up to one brithday Ereth the porcupine is never going to forget.

Fontana is an original novel by Siegfried Brian Barger and set in today's modern, technology-driven world. Fontana Smith, once a hero of another era, is now an elderly, retired Texas Ranger Fontana Smith who, with his widower friends, seeks a final adventure, renewing a commitment they once made as youths to protect animals that cannot speak for themselves. An emotional story about the advance of age and the drive to recall and pursue ambitions in life's golden years, Fontana is well written, attention engaging, thoroughly entertaining, and enthusiastically recommended.

This is a well written book with solid character development, an I-can't-put-the-book-down level of suspense, humor, and clever but not overdone plot twists. All this and it has a heart too! The author skillfully explores many levels of friendship and companionship, reminding us all how poignantly our lives have been enriched by our loved ones both two-legged and four. If you are interested in a contemporary adventure with a western flavor that is as stimulating intellectually as it is for your pulse, pick up this book and read it! And don't be surprised if it brings a tear to your eye.

I can't wait to read what happens next!

This is the first book I've read by this author, but I really loved it. The plot has a feel to it like "Rocky" with real heros who help save animals against all odds. The author writes in a very easy, enjoyable style that reminds me a lot Larry McMurty's Lonesome Dove, which was the greatest book of all time! He also developes his characters in such a way that you just can't let them go. They become friends who you care about, passionately, and you can't wait to make sure that they are OK as they pull off various plots to free animals, and help save animals. Have you ever read some of Steven King's works where his characters are just so alive, so real? That's the way this guy writes. "Fontana" is now my most favorate book, next to "Lonesome Dove."

This is my first encounter with this author, however I will most definitely read any further novels. For you Stephen King fans, you know that one of his strongest attributes is character development. Siegfried Brian Barger succeeds in a very King-esque manner to bring realness to the characters in this book as if you knew them yourself. Not to mention, the adventure, suspense and humor that intertwines throughout. And although animal lovers everywhere will adore this book, anyone who has ever known true friendship will be drawn to the saga of these three men.

Bravo, Brian!

As you can probably guess from this book's beautiful cover, animals play a large plot in both the plot and theme of Barger's debut novel, FONTANA. I find that a lot of authors pander to pet lovers because they know we're such a big population and believe that we'll simply "buy anything" about animals. But this book stays true to the common bond that runs through the close relationship between animals and their owners and, even if you don't like animals going into this book, you'll sure to love them on the back end! And if you DO, you'll love them even more!

Brian Lane presents clear and concise information on hiking in the Grand Canyon. The fact that he has focused on the Bright Angel, South Kaibab, and North Kaibab trails--the popular trails to Phantom Ranch--is a boon to anyone going on their first backpacking trip in the Canyon. With his book you learn the necessary info to have an enjoyable and successful journey into the mile-deep gorge. His detailed and easy-to-read text provides info from his years of experience about your drinking water requirements, protection from the sun, conditioning prior to the hike, and desert safety. Lane's beautiful photographs of many of the scenes along way is a pleasant bonus--his fine art quality photos are stunning. Lane has created a classic backpacking guide book with the specific aim to get people into the Canyon--and back out again--while having fun.
Grand Canyon: The Vault of HeavenThe Fun Guide to Exploring Grand Canyon National Park (Grand Canyon Association)Grand Canyon Map and Guide[[ASIN:189386099X

Excellent book, answers lots of questions ranging from temperatures, sunrise/sunset times, elevation gain, appropriate equipment and trail conditions to what to eat (and avoid eating) and how to avoid health problems and how to treat them if they occur. Although for a trip to Phantom Ranch (our plan) one wants to consult a number of sources, this is the best I've seen so far at answering questions. Practical, easy reading and worth more than the price.

This little book is packed full of useful information for anyone planning to hike the Bright Angel Trail (as we are) or other Grand Canyon trails. It is well written, has some great pictures, and provides excellent advice. I really liked this book!

Fantastic photography, great maps, very informative! Awesome for anyone
who loves hiking. I have not yet visited the Grand Canyon, but when I do
this guide is going with me. It's a great size to carry hiking and you
can't beat the price either. A friend of mine also stated that she
wished this guide had been available 2 years ago when she visited the
canyon. This book is definitely a must read!

I would have expected a guide as well done as this to be twice the price. The author has taken some stunning photographs and backed them up with consise trail information. Makes me want to go back again soon. Excellent book.Hikernut's Grand Canyon Companion - A Guide to Hiking and Backpacking the Most Popular Trails Into the Canyon: Bright Angel, South Kaibab & North Kaibab Trails

I like the book but the back and forth with the previous books makes it little bit borring because if you already read the previous book you know what happened and it is not relevant to the new book. Even if you have not read the previous book it could do without the inserts or comments from it. Other than that I love the book and the stories. I actually want to meet this doctor.

He leido muchos libros de superacion personal, y nunca pense que un libro que hablara de reencarnacion me ayudara tanto como muchos de los libros que he leido, este libro supero todas mis espectativas, siento que he supere un poco el miedo mas grande que he tenido siempre que es el miedo ala muerte, este libro me ha ayudado mucho a superar la gran ansiedad de no saber hacia donde iba y el de no poder volver alas personas que tanto amo, es increible, se lo recomiendo a todas aquellas personas que sufren por la perdida de un ser querido y aquellas que como yo sufria de mucha ansiedad por no saber que hay despues de la muerte, esto no tiene nada que ver con religion, esto no me hace dudar de mi religion si no mas bien amplia mis espectativas y me llena de esperanza y paz.......

Lazos de Amor es un libro maravilloso. Lo lei hace algunos anios y lo sigo comprando constantemente para regalarlo a la gente que aprecio. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Soy una fiel seguidora del Dr. Brian Weiss, he leido todos sus libros y cada uno ha sido una experiencia maravillosa. Muchas Vidas Muchos Sabios (o Maestros) nos abre las puertas a un mundo totalmente espiritual, nos hace perderle el miedo a la muerte pues es solo un periodo de transicion. Mi padre es medico, Cardiologo, y aun siendo un cientifico, por su profesion el ha tenido experiencias con pacientes que han sufrido paros cardiacos y han regresado relatando experiencias muy similares a las que se narran en este libro. Muchas Vidas Muchos Sabios llego a mis manos en el momento de una perdida muy dolorosa, mi hermana menor acababa de fallecer en un accidente de autos. Ese libro fue un consuelo increible en ese momento, llego a mi vida en el momento en el que mas lo necesitaba. Cada vez que algun amigo o conocido esta pasando por una experiencia similar, sin pensarlo compro una copia de este libro y se la obsequio. Por su lado, Lazos de Amor es el segundo libro mas hermoso que he leido. Nos enseña que el amor es infinito y que nunca muere. Es lo unico que realmente vale, lo unico real. Recomiendo ambos libros al maximo, cambiaran la vida de los que lo lean!!!! GRACIAS DR. WEISS!!!

Este libro es una prueba que estamos ligados a los seres mas queridos, el amor es la fuerza mas poderosa que hay en el universo.

These girls are so over the top. I can't wait to see what happens to them in the last of the series.

This book was very good, much like the rest of the series. Except, I HIGHLY suggest reading the rest of the series before this one. You will be lost otherwise, but they're so good you'll finish them in a jiffy. I won't spoil anything, but it was wonderful. And great sensory details - my friend and I agreed you felt as if you were read and at a certain special event[not saying any names!] The only thing is the ending leaves you hanging, but I guess we'll just have to wait until May for the next one.

By the way, I'm 14 years old. I'm no mama or anything :]

Cheyenne Martin's suicide is a shock for everyone at Easton Academy, especially for Reed Brennan. Who would have thought that the ambitious, power-hungry and traditionalist Billings girl would take her own life after she is expelled? But Reed feels undeniable guilt. Apparently, Cheyenne had sent her an e-mail before she killed herself, blaming Reed for her decision to kill herself. As if that weren't bad enough, it appears that Cheyenne had arranged for the e-mail to be resent every Friday. Cheyenne is immediately forgotten -- at least by the other Billings girls -- when Easton students are ostracized and snubbed from this year's Legacy, the biggest and most highly-expected exclusive party of the year. Reed shows a great deal of leadership, which is why, in an unanimous vote, she becomes the president of Billings hall. Wonderful things happen after Reed becomes leader. She gets tons of perks, money she's never had in her life, and power she'd never before envisaged. But will her leadership be threatened when Noelle returns to Easton? Noelle was a senior last year, but after getting expelled from Easton and getting community service, she has to repeat her senior year, and her father threatens to sue if they don't let her back in Easton. Will Reed be able to get invites to this year's Legacy? On top of everything else, she and Josh are having problems. She wants to be a Billings girl and hang out with Noelle, he doesn't. There is also the fact that Reed has a crush on Dash, Noelle's ex, who is now in Yale. This brings a whole new conflict into her already complicated life. To top it all off, someone is watching her, messing with her. Is Cheyenne really dead, or -- oh horror of horrors -- has Ariana somehow escaped from the mental institution she now resides?

This new installment in the Private series brings new drama and conflicts for Reed. At first, the presidency seems like a dream come true. Then everything falls apart, and she asks herself if the presidency is a blessing... or a curse. The Billings girls are as silly and glitzy as ever. A new Starbucks-like coffee shop is built in the school, which will probably become their hangout. Reed does get a little annoying in this installment -- self-absorbed, always after Noelle like a lapdog -- and I wanted to slap her a few times, especially as far as her relationship with Josh is concerned. I won't spoil the reader by supplying details, but she deserves what she gets toward the end. This installment is as addictive and riveting as the ones before it (with the exception of Inner Circle), but I've discovered something about Kate Brian: she is not consistent with the secondary characters' physical description. Eye and hair colors change with each installment. Josh's eyes had been green in other books. In this book, they are blue. London had been described as blonde -- she is brunette in this one. At first, I thought it was me who couldn't keep up with the descriptions, but it appears that the author herself is confused. I wish Brian would keep a file of the smaller characters' descriptions, something like, "Josh -- curly blonde hair, green eyes," etc. Also, the thing with the e-mail isn't resolved in this book. No one knows who, if anyone, was sending it or if it indeed had been an auto-send e-mail. It's almost as if Brian completely forgot to resolve that issue, but maybe we'll just have to wait till the next book to find out. There is, like the other books, a huge twist at the end. I find it hilarious that Reed has gone through so much in such a short amount of time. If this much happened in real life, Easton would have been shut down because parents wouldn't pay to send their students to such a death and tragedy trap, and other boarding schools would probably quake at the thought of welcoming a scholarship student into their school. Other than that, I absolutely LOVE Legacy and I look forward to reading Ambition. Also, it appears that Brian will release a spinoff from this series, starring Ariana. I will definitely check that one out!

I am glad to say that after the disappointing Inner Circle, Private is once again becoming good. Yes, much as I hate to admit it, I'm addicting to this scandalous series about a middle-class girl from the suburbs of Pennsylvania attending an elite boarding school and mixing with the rich.

After Cheyenne's suicide (for which she blames Reed), Reed is elected president of Billings House. This means that she is now the most powerful girl at Easton with links to some of the most powerful women in the world. So when it turns out that Easton wasn't invited to the most awesome party of the year, the Legacy, it's up to Reed to figure out a way to get Easton there. But being president of Billings is never easy, and Reed's life outside Billings might just be falling apart.

From a literary stand point, this isn't a great book. The characters are on the flat side, the writing is decent but nothing special; all it is is a fun peek into the life of those with too much money. But it is entertaining and scandalous and "I can't believe people can be so shallow!" and exciting and wel worth reading anyway.

How much longer until Ambition?

I don't think I will ever get tired of the Private series. Legacy is fantastic and quite different from the first few simply because Reed is in charge and is trying to stay sane while being a Noelle. I love Reed's relationship with Josh but am intrigued by her feelings for Dash so I look forward to the next book in the series to see what happens.

Great book! it is an awesome book that most anyone can enjoy! Buy it and be surprisingly pleased!

PS- my title is not just nonsense- it is actually an abreviation for something

Walk into a library or a bookstore. Remove from your pocket a small stone. Close your eyes, spin around, and hurl the projectile any which way (making certain no one is standing around and that there isn't any delicate glass about). Now go see what book the stone hit. If you happened to be in the children's room, particularly in the fiction section, you probably had a pretty good chance of hitting something meaningful, depressing, or meaningful AND depressing. And let me tell you, there is no sure-fire method of turning a kid off of reading than making them read only books that fit into those two categories. As a children's librarian I've been reading a ton of children's books published in 2006 and I am SICK of books that aren't any fun. So when "The Misadventures of Millicent Madding" (adventure one = "Bully-Be-Gone") fell into my lap I didn't know what to think. The Amy Vangsgard cover art kind of turned me off. Clay is cool but not always appropriate for a fiction cover. Still, it sounded... fun. And I needed fun. I needed fun badly. So after reading this book cover to cover, I can say this of "Bully-Be-Gone". It is every bit as fun as the premise suggests and it is bound to be dearly beloved by scores of wide-eyed kidlets. All around amusing.

If you are smart and attend school in some fashion, there is one fact of life you have to acknowledge. Bullies. They're everywhere. Well young Millicent Madding is smart, but she isn't resigned to a life of dodging this scourges of the public school hallways. She's just invented a whole new kind of face cream. It's called Bully-Be-Gone and it's supposed to affect your average bully's sense of smell, thereby repelling them. The problem is, Millicent's still new to this whole inventing game. She's had some bad luck in the past and her fellow members of The Wunderkind Club (a group of the smartest kids of Masonville) are wary of trusting this new invention. But try it they do and the results aren't exactly what Millicent thought they might be. Now Bully-Be-Gone is attracting love-struck bullies rather than repelling them and Millicent's in a fix. Add in her long-lost aunt trecking across the country in an ancient wedding gown, a tale of contortion and cooking, two parents lost in time, and an uncle who's hair color and hair style changes every day... well let's just say that the town of Masonville may never quite be the same again.

Sometimes I can pinpoint a moment when a book has won me over. Often the book as a whole gains my love, but once in a great while there's a single defining turn of phrase or image. For me, a children's librarian, it was page 28. Sweet sweet page 28. On that page we meet the local town librarian, Miss Ogelvie. She simultaneously fulfills your normal librarian stereotypes (bespectacled, prudent, unmarried, etc.) and pounds them into dust. Consider this sentence: "Closer inspection revealed that Miss Ogelvie had, through years of lifing books, developed a rather intimidating frame. Her arms, especially, were thick and strong - a fact she played up by having had them tattooed with the faces of literary figures like Shakespeare and Toni Morrison". Any book that contains a character who has the author of "Beloved" imprinted in ink on their forearm has my instantaneous love.

But heroic librarians aside (I haven't even mentioned the legend of Goody Constance Madding, which is faaaabulous) it's Tacang's writing here that sets the book apart from the pack. It balances the author's story with amusing details here and there. Tacang isn't going for deeply held emotional resonance, but he still manages to hit meaningful chords throughout his storyline. There could also have been a danger of going too wild with this book. Too wacky. The back cover promises scores of kooky crazy kids and adults with everything from human cannonballs to rebel librarians, and they're all here, true. But at the same time, this isn't another "Surviving the Applewhites" or "Pure Dead Magic". The wacked-out nuttiness is great, but the author never overplays his hand. It's a delicate balance all the more impressive when you consider how well it ties together.

And by the way, the inventions in this book aren't your average half-hearted "Freddy and the French Fries" lame-o inventions. Every single one is an invention that should exist (with the possible exception of the gloves that clip your fingernails) and that anyone would love to own. I would like to personally suggest to the world that we take Tacang's suggestion of a carpet with Autosuck Technology and make it exist. It makes so much sense! "You simple flipped a switch and the carpet retracted dirt, in a sense. Dust, soil, and other small debris were sucked through the carpet and into a plastic bag". Honestly, why isn't this being installed in homes everywhere already? Hello, patent office...

If I have any objection with this book, it concerns its ending. With all her friends hating her for their hard-to-shake new bully buddies, Millicent needs to find a cure, stop the bullies, and get on her uncle's good side by the story's end. She does so, but it's done in such a sudden madcap way that it feels to the viewer that they've suddenly run smack dab into the literary equivalent of a brick wall. A little more time spent on wrapping up stories (and not having her friends forgive her QUITE so suddenly) would have given "Millicent Madding" far more believable closure. Ah well. Can't have everything, I guess.

Child inventors have been gracing the pages of children's books at least since Homer Price "fixed" that old donut machine in 1943. By and large, however, the inventors have been boys. Now Millicent Madding has come to kick butt and take names. Alongside another 2006 title, "Roxie and the Hooligans", by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, these two books look at bullies and find incredibly creative ways of dealing with them. Kids everywhere should approve. Enjoyable reading with more than its fair share of intelligence.

A Children's Classic! My whole family loved it.
This story had me laughing out loud, wondering if I could get Masonville library card, and starving for a plate of Chocolate and Marshmallow Bunk Beds and Swiss Cheese Moon Rocks.
I haven't enjoyed a children's book this much since I first read "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory" thirty years ago!

I am an avid book reader, and so I can be choosey. Though I had not heard of this book, when my relative gave it to me, I read it non-stop - it was that exciting, interesting, funny (in a way) and just plain great. You really, in a way, start to feel sorry for Millecent Madding and all her misadventures. And that's just in one book. The ending really leaves you wanting to know her next misadventure.Though it is targeted towards middle grade readers, I think anyone would still find it nice, as in the story's plot. I cannot wait untill the next book in the series comes out! Way to go, Brian!
P.S.-I like the illustrations on the cover!

This was a 'fun read'. The characters were vivid and entertaining - even the supporting people had enough of a 'background' to be interesting ie the school principal Mr. Pennystacker who had a Saint Bernard called Mad Dog when he was a child. Millicent is an inventor-in-training and misadventures are a natural result of her best efforts to help others. I enjoyed the subplot with her Uncle and lost Aunt as well - it allowed the author to introduce some of the best characters in the book. I hope there will be further 'Misadventures' to come!

So many essays stay with me. They are written in a short form but packed with a punch! I found myself needing and wanting to feel (more) centered and after reading this book..it has been achieved. It is always great to pick up a book from your bookshelf, hold it in your hands and read..and dream..and remember..and reflect again and again. :)Enjoy!!

I bought this book maybe 10 or 12 years ago very shortly after it was published when I found it in a gift shop near my house. I fell in love with it standing in the store browsing through it and had to take it home. It has travelled with me to 4 states and 6 homes and has consistently been unpacked and placed right back on my bookshelf where it belongs. One of only about 10 books that I can say that about. It inspires me whenever I look at it, full of the most obvious and wonderful wisdom told in the most eloquent voice of Brian Andreas. You will connect with several of the stories you read, probably most of them, and like me you will want to hang them on your wall to remind you daily of how you really feel in your soul. This is a great find.

I bought this book for a friend after he discovered the website and loved all the drawings and stories. I don't think anyone can escape from being touched by them. There is something in there for everyone, for every situation. I highly recommend you give it to someone you love today.

I saw this book in a boutique in Paducah, KY about 4 years ago. Flipping through a few pages, I needed no more convincing. I purchased the book, read it and placed it in our bookcase. Within the last four years, I have had two children and moved to a different town. I was unpacking some boxes the other day when I found this book. There I sat on the floor, reading through it. I couldn't stop until I was done. I logged on to find more of Brian Andreas's work. It is amazing. So simple, yet so touching. You have to read it!

This little book defies classification. It is a collection of goofy-looking, childlike drawings, on one page, and enigmatic strange little aphorisms, on the facing page, all the way through the book. The pages aren't numbered and there are no chapters, so you just have to wander around and experience whatever you happen to find. Whatever time you spend with this book will be worth it.

Author Brian Andreas is one who thinks outside the box. He draws outside the box, too. And you will soon realize, outside the box is a very good place to be. A place to consider what is really important and meaningful: Love, relationships, children, magic. These are the important things.

The childlike manner is deceptive. This is a book of serious wisdom and serious art, with a silly and childlike appearance. If you can play outside the box, you will love this book, and you will want to give it to all your out-of-the-box friends.I can't recommend Mostly True too highly! Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber

This story had me from page one. An extremely well-written book that pulls you in and doesn't let you go. I actually sat on the edge of my seat as I read the last 50 pages. I usually pass my books on to others when I finish them. One copy of this, however, will go into my permanent library.
Thank you Brian Matthews!

This was a fantastic book. I couldn't put it down, especially the last few chapters. The characters are well-rounded, and you just keep wanting to know more about them, even when you don't particularly like them. I will definitely read anything written by Brian S. Matthews!

I have written a comprehensive review at Glynn's Book Reviews blogsite (http://wwwglynnsbooks.blogspot.com.) Read it there or link to it at www.glynnsbooks.com.

I found New Wilderness to be an easy read. The author leads your imagination with true character development along an unique story line. The twists and turns leave you anxious to turn the next page and a little bit sad when you've turned the last. I'm already watching for more novels from this new author.

I found the book to be an easy read. I found myself being pulled into the book and identifing with the characters. All of the characters are likable and interesting. I also found myself wanting to get to know the people in the book on a more personal level. I could not put the book down. I am looking forward to the following books from this author.

i have not read any of these books but p dogg is my english teacher

I like potry. This book has great rime and meter. I remember when my Uncle Liam from Ireland came over, he brought me a huge bottle of wisky and a case of Mickeys Big Mouth, that Uncle Liam was always three sheets to the wind, I think it runs in the genes, after all, look at me, hck! Uncle Liam and me went to the woodshed with all that good stuff, we had a very pleasant time....

I was absolutely blown away by the caliber of this book. Brian Pinsker has a way with words that is truly brilliant. He can evoke many different portraits within the minds' eye with a simple twist of phrase. Jay Passer also is inspired, although his is a different, more harshly provocative style. I enjoyed this work thoroughly, and consider myself very fortunate to have been able to take a glimpse, through their written word, into both authors' thoughts.

The poetic pair of Pinsker and Passer pen yet another epic opus! Pinsker starts us out with some of the bizarrest metering I've ever read, expounding upon his adherence to the B'ahai Faith through his H. Rap Brown-inspired rhyme scheme. His Seattle street-style adaptation of the Cornish "Mmph -Kaph-Kaph-Hmm-Mmm" is one of the most sullenly beautiful pieces I've ever read. The second half consists of Passer's more conventional, yet equally beautiful Dickinsonian poetry. I hope that Passer brings back Jeremy Surbrook in the future -- he really lends a lot to Passer's poetry. All in all, a fine book.

Brian Pinsker's poetry dazzled and amazed and bemused me. This is a man who speaks and writes the language of the street. He blends and combines elements of H. Rap Brown, Public Enemy, Shakespeare, Rilke, Rumi, and the Pope. Totally cool!
