Lee Books

I started the book about 6 p.m and finished about 1 a.m; I could not put it down. Every golfer, every Masters fan, every body in Augusta will want this. Lots of great (and courteous) insider stories about the the Club; the creek, the community power fights about the creek; about great golfers, the caddies; the role of women; the founders of the club; the author's learning golf; rubbing elbows with Washington big whigs.

I know the author personally; I never dreamed her book would be interesting; I certainly never expected to be glued to her book, but it is a gem. I've got a couple of golfing buddies in mind who will want to read this book.

The story about the golfer who would "never" play with a woman was great...he parted with a dollar of two.

The "ownership" of the caddies, the nicknames of caddies and the nicknames given by caddies to their "horses" was fascinating.

The stories about the club president show a man "bigger than life."

Perhaps some of you know what trunk bangers are...now I know.

My grandmother lived a few blocks from the club and she rented to people who attended the Masters...so the book brings back memories...

Anyone struggling with golf, all you addicts out there, who day dream about shots, greens, the rough, creeks and sandtraps will identify with the author, whether male or female.

I'm not even a golfer, but my daddy was; and after listening to him talk golf, get down with 90, high on 72, talk about lights for night golfing, discuss the game over a few drinks, I found this book a clincher. I never expected to enjoy a book so much.

I enjoyed the book, but I was eager to learn more about the men in their lives. Who were these men and how did they feel about the experiences.

This is a terrific book written by a member's wife and their daughter. I am a big golf fan and have read several books about Augusta National and the Masters in recent years, but this one has an entirely different angle--a woman's perspective, and an insider-woman at that. The authors are respectful of the club, but they also are open in offering dozens of refreshing anecdotes that are funny and border on irreverent. There are also a bunch of photos in the book depicting the golf course from a candid viewpoint.

I started the book about 6 and finished about 12. Every golfer, Masters fan, everyone in Augusta will want one of theses books.

It's full of real inside stories of the Club, its founders, the grounds, the caddies, the famous players.

I know the author personally and figured her book would be interesting but did not expected to be glued to it. The wording contained many of the unique phrases used at the National and un golfing. I could not put the book down.

I am not a golfer, but my dad was and I have heard him day dream about golf; I've seen him high on 72 and down on 90; it seems the author got to the point she day dreamed about sandtraps, the rough, the fairways, how she would handle different shots.

Stories about personal encounters with famous golfers and politicians were great. The stories about the caddies and their betting, "ownership" of golfers, their nicknames were fascinating.

The stories about how one gets into the club gives the Augusta National a sense of intrigue.

The stories about the president of the club presented a man bigger than life, who put fear into the hearts of the wealthy and powerful.

Fishing stories, access to the club during the Masters, access to the club during off season were all highly readable and clearly inside, non-public, unpublished views into a closed society.

That only a few people were there at a time off season was amazing; there is/or was a wonderful wine cellar; there were no socials unrelated to golf and no 5 somes.

This is a wonderful book of private information that every golfer will enjoy, buy 2 of (one to keep and one to give away).

The 82nd Airborne Division Association, Winter issue 2003 has a full page book review on "Glide to Glory" Is consists of unedited stories of the 325 Glider Infantry Regiment from North Africa to Berlin and contains the list of honor by Father Thuring, Goesbeek, Holland as the last chapter in the book. Many never seen combat glider photo's. The web site for this book is . It is available for immediate shipment. It has been classified as one of the best books to come out of WWII and the author was a gliderman of Company D.

Glide to Glory is a great collection of stories
submitted by the people who lived them.Jerry has
put them together with pictures that can bring them
to life for all who read the book..

GLIDE TO GLORY is a fresh breeze in the Book Market. Written in the style of The Greatest Generation, this book fills a void with personal stories of courage, bravery and desparate situations told by the men who lived through them. Serving in the Glider Infantry of the 82nd Airborne Division these men were on the front line of World War II. Their stories have never previously been told. With unpublished photos, this book is a treasure you will want to keep. Wayne Pierce

This is a big, impressive book,(coffee table size) written about an impressive war (WWII)and the exceptionally brave young men who had to fight it. The story relates a complete day-to-day account of each combat action for the 325 Glider Infantry Regiemnt of the 82nd Airborne Division. It details the actual experiences of an airborne regiment who landed in North Africa and subsequently fought in every major battle in Europe. This is the story by the men who fought those battles, and in their own unedited words and in GI vernacular, whether good or bad. It is truly their story right from the heart. Father Thuring of Groesbeek, Holland authors the final chapter which includes a memorial of those Airborne Glidermen killed in action (748) The book also contains many photographs out of the "Liberation Museum" Groesbeek, Holland.The book is loaded with photographs never before seen of some actual combat landings and the "Crosses Of Normandy" on how the soldiers killed in action were processed in the first burial. The book is loaded with all kinds of stories --- witty, homorous, gripping, and courageous,too. It's a story of young men at war, filled with bravery and high adventure. It's a story, too, of death in the afternoon. Here is another side of war as stressed in Glide to Glory - often brutal statistics of Death in the Afternoon, in particular, of the 325 Glider Infantry Regiment: 280 KIA, Normandy, June 1944, 217 KIA Holland, September 1944: 205 KIA, the Battle of the Bulge. Records indicate that out of 2500 in the regiment, 2,375 purple hearts were awarded. A minimum of 3,089 were either killed in actin or wounde. Much of their combat time was behind enemy lines for atotal of 190 combat days. This is just the bare stats for one airborne infantry regiment...the 325 GIR. Never Before, Never again will ring forever as combat gliders only were used from 1943 to 1946 by he U.S. Army Airborne. No other book is available on only Glidermen during WWII.

This book is no disappointment. It cuts no corners in its size and quality as well as the number of pages, 457 of them. The book details the experiences of the glider infantry soldiers, specifically the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division. Never heard about gliders being used in WWII? Don't know what a glider infantry soldier is? Then this is the book for you. Imagine having to sit aboard a glider having wood wings, a wooden floor, a tubular steel fuselage and covered with fabric being towed behind a C-47 at 100 mph at low altitudes where ground fire and flak ripped through the wings, the floor, the canvas, and you. They were to low to bail out if your glider was hit, so no one had a parachute. Then if you survived the long flight, which could have been up to 4 hours, you hoped the skill of the trained glider pilot could bring you in onto a safe landing. But quite often, the glider pilots had to fly into postage stamp size fields where other gliders had already landed and crashes were inevitable into either another glider or the many hedgerows found along the fields. Then there were the trained German 88 crews just waiting for you to touch down so they could throw a round or two into the glider as you came to a rolling stop or the German troops who peppered the side of your glider as you sat inside watching the holes tear into the fabric hoping you would make it out as you waited for the glider to stop rolling. And if you survived the flight as well as the landing, now you had to unload your cargo of equipment and assemble into your company while being a moving target for German troops. Read about Glider Infantry Heros because that is what these guys were as told by them about them and those who didn't make it back. This book is their story and their history. You will find your emotions being tapped into as you read their personal stories and at times feel your eyes begin to well up. The glidermen played a key role in the war as did the use of the glider. Casualties and injuries were high for the C-47 crews, the glider pilots and glidermen BUT, they did what they had to do in preserving freedom. This book honors them with text, photos, maps, documents, and the names of all who died. You will not be disappointed, unless you don't have a copy of your own.

The God Conversation is an important book in apologetics and evangelism because it makes ideas-that are powerful in and of themselves, but not always immediately accessible to many people-come alive. J.P. Moreland and Tim Muehlhoff take clear thinking and compelling arguments and then attach them to memorable images and stories. This book will help you be ready to give a defense for the hope within you at the office or a family gathering that is memorable and compelling. A picture is worth a thousand words indeed.

Welcome to College: A Christ-Follower's Guide for the Journey

Many of us have wondered how to start difficult conversations with family and friends regarding sensitive topics such as religion and faith. This book helps the reader gain insight on how to do just that. After reading this book, I feel more equipped to speak openly and honestly about my faith to all of those I care for. An excellent and easy read and definite for anyone wanting to learn how to share their faith.

There are many hundreds of excellent books on Christian apologetics, and J.P. Moreland has authored a number of those. He is certainly one of our top Christian philosophers and apologists.

In his newest volume he teams up with communication lecturer Tim Muehlhoff to offer a somewhat different approach to Christian evidences. Here the authors make the case for sharing Christian truth via stories and illustrations. A number of important apologetics and philosophy of religion themes are discussed, with an eye to reaching others through memorable illustrations and compelling stories.

Topics include God and the problem of evil and suffering; Christianity and other world religions; the case for the resurrection; and the existence of God and the evidence from design. These core topics are helpfully introduced and discussed, but with a view to being user-friendly, both for the apologist and the seeker.

For example, when dealing with the resurrection, one must deal with the reliability of the Gospel accounts. The authors offer a number of reasons why these accounts differ from mere legends. One reason is that the Gospels are not afraid to include embarrassing details, something which legends try to avoid.

Such details include: Jesus referring to Peter at one point as Satan; the cowardly nature of the disciples during the crucifixion; and the disciples initial refusal to believe that Jesus had risen. The authors remind us of the story of the Alamo. This actual event has been excessively glorified and turned into legendary status over the years. True, 185 Texans courageously took on 5,000 Mexicans. But the story has been seriously embellished over time, and contemporary historians have had to peel away the legend from the actual facts.

But the authors remind us that there simply was not enough time for legend to creep into the Easter story. Legends require some amount of time to become established, but the New Testament documents were written so close to the actual events of the life of Christ, that such legendary features could not have taken hold.

Consider another issue related to all this. We know that the Synoptic Gospels were written before the Book of Acts, and we know that Acts was written somewhere between A.D. 60 and 62. This is because two crucial episodes are not recorded there: the fall of Jerusalem and the death of Paul.

As an illustration, consider an account of the World Trade Centre in New York. If one found an undated book about this structure, one could partly determine the dating by what it includes or did not include. If it spoke about how it was built, how massive it is, and how many people work there, but said nothing about its tragic fall at the hands of terrorist, one could reasonably conclude it was written before September 2001.

Many other illustrations, analogies, examples and stories are weaved into the big topics covered in this book. It thus is a very accessible and easy to follow primer on basic apologetics. Of course whenever one is dealing with complex philosophical and theological concepts, some proper intellectual content must be utilised as well. And that is also featured in this volume.

Thus this book is a mix of helpful stories as well as solid reasoning and argumentation. It makes for a nice combination, and should encourage budding apologists to take some first steps in applying these principles and tactics.

Those who find this volume helpful may well want to go back to some of Moreland's more advanced works. For starters, consider his 1987 volume, Scaling the Secular City. For those who want something even more in depth, see his important 2003 work, Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview (co-authored by William Lane Craig).

For the beginning apologist, this might be the first volume to consider. It is both practical as well as intellectually solid, making it a very good introduction to the defence of Christian beliefs.

This book is a well crafted intro into many of the most famous arguments for the existence of God, and other pressing problems that confound Christians in all ages. It's divided into Seven Section over 11 chapters and an afterthougt. What seperates this book from many other apologetics works is it's heavy reliance upon illustration. In dealing with ehtics it has a sidebar on the movie Munich and how it might be used as an illustration on dealing with that we intuitively know that somethings are morally wrong, etc... The use of a vertical line next to the illustrations makes them easy to find. The book covers The Problem of Evil, Pluralism, The Ressurection, Ethics and Moral Relativism, and the Design Argument, as well as an exceptional 2 pg afterword about listening before you speak with all your new found knowledge.

How useful this book is to you will largely depend upon the type of person you are. If you are an apologetics buff you are not likely to hear too much new in here. Dr. Moreland(I'm assuming) does a good job distilling some of his work against the Jesus Seminar's assertion that Jesus is only a figure of legend, into a more conversational style. The two chapters on the problem were some of the best I've ever seen on the subject in such a short amount of space.

A great book for your average Christian who needs help learning how to defend their faith or why they're rational do believe the way they do. A good quick referesher for those of us who need a brush up on some of the arguments for these subjects. Maybe not useful for those reading Swinburne, Plantinga, and the like.

As a sidenote in case either of the authors read this review. I'm an avid fan of Dr. Moreland, and as such read most all of his books. These last few that he's co-authored with BIOLA faculty members have really impressed me with BIOLA as an institution.

Great Book! Taking part in a Bible Study and this book has been a tremendous help. Lots of great ideas on how to speak with someone concerning God without making them feel that you are "shoving religion" down their throats.

This is a sexy, passionate story with enjoyable characters - I give it five stars and think you'll want to read it again despite the fact that the hero is a bit of a jerk at the beginning - he does finally come to his senses! Marcus Osborne has some issues with women ... his mother abandoned him, his beloved wife turned out to be a money hungry trollop, a fact which he unfortunately only discovered when he found her in their bed with the pool boy! So when he meets sexy socialite Justine, who flirts with all the men, he paints her with the same brush. But there's something honest and sincere about Justine that keeps shining through his preconceptions ... and soon he's wondering if perhaps he may have misjudged her and that she wasn't just a gold-digger trying to snag herself a rich husband. He's stunned to realize he loves her, and because of how they began their relationship he thinks she only wants him for the fabulous sex! What can Marcus do now? Can he make her fall in love with him so they can be together forever ... ?

Description from the book back cover:

Bad, brazen ... and beautiful! Marcus Osborne thought Justine Montgomery had shown her true colours when she sashayed into his office, seemingly willing to do 'anything' for a loan. The rumor that she was planning to catch herself a rich husband, and that he was her prime target, only served to worsen his opinion of her. Nevertheless, he wanted her ... So he decided to do some seducing of his own - and soon she became his mistress! Only then did Marcus understand how wrong he'd been about Justine. She wasn't a gold-digger after all, and marriage, for money or otherwise, hadn't even crossed her mind. Suddenly Marcus found himself wishing it had ...

The Millionaire's Mistress is my first Harlequin PRESENTS read. As most often, the cover does not depict the story. The main character, Justine, a University student living in Sydney, Australia is 23 years old. She oozes of beauty and self-respect. Justine is surprisingly innocent after being raised in a life of luxury. But, circumstances change. She lives with her mother, Adelaide, and in order to keep their family home Justine decides to open their home to boarders. When she goes to the bank to secure a loan to start up this new business venture she meets millionaire banker, Marcus Osborne who is in his thirties. He has been "around the block" a few times in life. He is a bitter divorcee of the "stuffed shirt" variety. How these 2 people from different parts of the planet even begin a romance is worth the read. I recommend my very first Harlequin Presents!

Back Cover - Justine Montgomery desperately needed a loan, otherwise she and her mom would be out on the street. So she steeled herself to ask handsome millionaire banker Marcus Osborne for help. Marcus had no illusions about the Justines of this world. He could tell just by looking at her that she was a gold digger, out to target a rich husband. Just like his ex-wife.....but Marcus was also glad when Justine told him she'd do anything if he'd lend her money, because he desired her - badly. He'd give her the finances she wanted, and she'd repay him in bed!

Talk about your untrusting jerks.....this one makes a real turnaround as he figures out that Justine is as sweet and trustworthy as she looks and acts. Great read. Very passionate.

This book was awesome. I really enjoyed it. It had an interesting plot and facinating characters.

I have been a fan of Miranda Lee's for the past 2 years. I have collected as much of her work as I can. She writes beautifully. Her characters are smart, intense, complex and very sensual. She writes about things that are very real in the world today. I love her style of writing. Don't let the synopsis on the back of the book fool you this is not a story of a man that takes advantage of a young women caught in a vunerable position. This is a story of to adults that overcome many obstacles to find true love. The characters are smart and they respect each other, as the author always respects the reader.

Anyone who is interested in pollution and environmental issues: read it. It is really worth your time and your attention.

I thought this book was interesting and easy to follow. Ms. Berkson, gives us the information and practical advice on how to avoid exposure to these psuedo-hormones that disrupt the body.

The print is an easy size to read.

I read this book based on the recommendation of another parent in my young daughter's day care center. I found Hormone Deception just brimming with information regarding keeping ourselves and our families healthy. I was especially interested in how hormone disruptors impact our children and truly appreciated all the good advice on how to reduce exposure in the home. I never knew our homes were such potential health hazards! I heartily recommend this book to all moms concerned with keeping their families healthy. Lindsey Berkson has also developed a fantastic website full of related information and links to other bio-environmentally appropriate sites (same name as the book, hormonedeception.com).

This was a hard book to put down. Scientifically oriented, yet written in simple language for all of us "non-scientists" to understand, it's reader friendly. This book applies to our everyday life. We already know many things cause cancer and other diseases, but to finally have a book that tells us what THOSE things are, empowers us to make a change. We've heard our water might be contaminated, well Dr. Berkson will tell you why and what exactly is in it that makes it bad. We've heard to be cautious of dry-cleaning gas off, and she'll cover that, she talks about heating our food in plastic trays and plastic wrap in the microwave, dangers in baby toys, baby foods, our soda cans and cans in general. She talks from a hormone point of view: in parts per billion (which is like a pinch of salt in 10 tons of potatos, her words, not mine) when referring to the sensitivity of these hormones. She warns us of estrogenic invaders, androgenic invaders, hormone blockers and such, that are in our environment in the form of air, food, cleaning products, water pollution and how these interfere with our bodies. The best part: she tells us how to reduce our exposure, what we can do about it by just being aware.

Have kids? Expecting to have any? Want to live longer with less of a chance of getting cancer? READ THIS BOOK

This is great book full of tons of info on endocrine disruptors, common household items and industrial/commercial as well. It's 400+ pages of invaluable info..eating organic isn't enough!
My only question- on page 208 she states the adrenals are below the kidneys, but I'm pretty sure they're on top, hence their alternate name, "suprarenal" glands.

"This giant, 600 page compendium contains more information than has ever been available to the public before, letting you know just how agencies can place your computer under surveillance, tracking your every keystroke; find you no matter what, including your assets, phone calls, court records, associates and marriages, driving license and records, and more.

Learn how anyone can access your credit records, break your password, acquire and use surveillance equipment, see through walls, bug your room, read your computer screen remotely, tap a phone without a warrant, hide a message that won't be found, successfully perform a covert entry, and dozens more.

Author Lapin leads us through this technological treatise in anecdotal, conversational style, along with examples from his own wealth of experience. It's an easy read, often humorous, with Lapin's particular brand of irony.

This isn't a book paranoids should read, nor is it intended as a how-to for illegal activities, but if you want to know how it's done, it's here. And it's expensive. But since its predecessors are used as training manuals by federal intelligence agencies, it certainly should be good enough for our readers."

I purchased this book back in 1987 when it was first published. It is a great source for information regarding electronic phone surveilance, gadgetry, tracing people through public and private records, etc. Although some of the information is still usable, I believe it may be outdated. There are numerous sources for spy equipment in the back of the book, but how many of those are still in business? Who knows.

Lee Lapin's book is an excellent resource for all aspects of the private investigative field. Truly "the bible" for the private investigator. He provides explanations on every aspect of the business. He provides valuable tips on Skip tracing, pre-text calls, phone tapping, surveillance, the list goes on and on. The book presents simple explanations, expert advice and easy-to-follow instructions. This manual also provides an abundance of informative internet website information. I also enjoyed his humor and style of writing.

Only a student of the art of surveilence will be secure from privacy invasions in 1984 "I mean 1998"

Outstanding ! a bible on surviellence and tracking

But just as important, while it is a must read for anyone who needs to find information on someone, it is a resource about WHAT can be found out. And more importantly, how to secure our privacy in these days of identity theft, intrusive marketing, and the like.

Thomas Jefferson said "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." , and it is a 'checklist' for the watchful.

Mike Lee's latest collection of essays can only be read with a smile on your face as his observations of life hit home all too clearly. He finds meaning through the humor in his life that applies to those of us far from the Cape or Key West, his home turf. Fun and funny, this book would be a great gift, especially for the men in you life, but be sure to read it yourself first because we can all use of good laugh.

Marine Corps veteran and experienced journalist Michael Lee presents In an Elevator with Brigitte Bardot and Other Appreciations, a selection of essays interspersed with humor, memories, searing personal insights into daily life in Cape Cod. "Great poetry can be change-your-life stuff. Or sometimes it's just change your pants stuff. But then the next Bill Collins gets up there, living out loud and dragging poetry, kicking and screaming, onto the actuality of the blank page. Then you can't help but get excited about poetry." Each essay is only a few pages long, yet each strikes the heart of its topic with a deft flick of the wrist. A treasury to savor a bit at a time, or all at once.

Michael Lee's book of essays is so hilarious I couldn't write a review funny enough to do it justice. Don't read it anywhere you can't loudly guffaw, snort, or wipe tears from your eyes. Lee's voice is original, his wit wicked, and his descriptive powers as large as his self described waistline. Whether he's writing about travel adventures to France or Key West, tourists invading his beloved Cape Cod, his exercise attempts, or his romantic adventures (realized or otherwise), you will connect with his writing and experiences. Underlying the humor, Lee sneaks in some wise observations about life. Reading his collection felt like an evening hanging out with an entertaining new best friend and having a few beers while being totally seduced by the conversation. Pick up this book now and start chuckling!

With "In An Elevator With Bridgette Bardot," his hilarious new collection of essays, Mike Lee complements the sterling collection of short stories that delighted us in "Paradise Dance."

With Mr. Lee, we're treated to a close-up look at a guy who's not afraid of anything - outside of a few univited summer guests, revenge-seeking
ex-wives, or the occassional rigors of hiking the back woods of Wellfleet.

Michael tackles the etiquette of receiving a massage from a "large hairy man." But,instead of suffering in silence, he poses the question on every
red-blooded straight man's lips: "Do you mind if I leave my underpants on?" Lee reports the masseuse, "Looked at me as though he never intended to invade France."

"The Boys of Fall" celebrates the Sunday afternoon football game. Guys like Stinky and Psycho Al, circle a groaning coffee table, hemmed in by great bowls of buffalo wings, potato skins, and beer, to cheer for the Pats or whoever is beating the Jets. Here is male bonding at its finest - burping,farting and bumping chests while consuming vast quantities. What guy can't relate? What gal hasn't run for the hills at the sight of the first falling leaf?

For any poor soul who's embarked upon yet another excercise routine, Lee
offers, "With a Thong in My Heart" which grabs you by the love handles and
dips you over backward until you shriek for mercy.

I double-dare you to run out and buy several copies before they're all gone.(Rumor has it Miss Bardot ordered 3!) The only way you're going to have more fun is if you find yourself trapped in an elevator with Michael himself. And what are the odds of that happening?

Mike Lee's latest book is a collection of newpaper columns he has written and they are as funny as hell. They made me laugh out loud. Underlying Mr. Lee's humor is a keen preception of his own and others' foibles but told in a non-judgmental way. He laughs with people and not at them. Other columns show Mr. Lee's love of traditions, nature and particularly Cape Cod. Bring on more, Mr. Lee.

At long last someone has come up with a new slant to WWII history. It is refreshing to find that after 55 years or so has passed an author can yet teach us something new about history, which can captivate, can sometimes even excite, and definitely can entertain.

I had no expectations when I started this novel. I had wanted to try an unknown author. WAS I SURPRISED! At every turn of the plot my attention was captured, the read was fast paced,and the descriptions made me feel as if I were there.

I was stunned by the creativity and descriptiveness of the writer. His remarkable grammar and way of writing leaves you interested the whole time. He is the next J.K. Rowling by the level of interest that he provides in his book. Congratualations, you are a wiz of an author.
Sicerely,
An extremely happy reader

A riveting and compelling story you'll enjoy reading. Historically accurate WWII setting makes a great backdrop for the exploration of human nature under the most trying of circumstances.

A fantastic read! I really enjoyed this novel and the author did a great job interweaving history making it very authentic. A truly gripping story based on a real movement that was active in Germany during WWII. A great novel for anyone who enjoys a good book -- and especially for those readers that enjoy historically accurate novels. I actually felt as if I were transported to war-torn Germany during WWII.

I purchased this story to share with my preschool class, since we have 2 Chinese ESL students. While the story was not of high interest to all of the children (probably better for slightly older children), it held their attention, and the 2 Chinese boys were thrilled to see familiar faces, familiar writing, and hear familiar words. The story is about a mother and son walking in the snow. The mother teaches the child the Chinese characters for certain words by explaining how the character looks like the word it represents. It was exciting to have the boys participate in storytime and be able to teach the rest of us something! This is so important in a diverse preschool classroom - I can't wait to order more books.

I read this book last year in my class when I had a Vietnamese student . She had learned some Chinese characters from her mother and taught us how to write the characters while we celebrated Chinese and Vietnamese New Year. It was a moving experience.

I read this book last year in my class when I had a Vietnamese student . She had learned some Chinese characters from her mother and taught us how to write the characters while we celebrated Chinese and Vietnamese New Year. It was a moving experience.

This books provides a great introduction for students and teachers to the Chinese language.

This book is beautiful to look through and read. Huy Voun Lee tells a story of a mother and son taking a walk on a winter day. During their walk the mother teaches her son different Chinese characters. Lee not only provides the characters, but the symbolism behind them. The story line is simple and Lee provides ten characters, so this book is great for young readers. My two year old loves to thumb through it. Lee's cut paper artwork makes this book not only beautiful, but unique. In The Snow has not only brought joy to our family but added diversity to our bookshelf.

Christian Savage is eleven years old, cute in a childish way, hopelessly inept in class and on the playground too, and bullied every day on the way to school. Meanwhile, in his fantasies, he's Incrediboy, constantly saving the world from evil villains using his incredible incredipowers. Everything changes, however, when Christian stumbles across two rings, lost by the archvillain Yoqe, which enable him to actualize his wishes.



And that, of course, is when things get out of hand. Can Christian handle supernatural powers? Can he use them wisely? Could you? And how bad can things get? Well, I won't tell you, of course. You'll just have to read the book.



Author Lee Clevenger writes a fast-paced, entertaining book of spoofy adventures and misadventures. Once you pick the book up, you'll have trouble laying it aside. And if you ever had fantasies of supernatural powers and deeds of daring, well, you might have second thoughts after you read it. I recommend this one for pure rollicking fun with an understated but important message. Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber.

IncrediBoy is a wonderful book for anyone between the ages of seven and a hundred and seven. Eleven-year-old Christian Savage learns a valuable lesson of which we all need to be reminded. The well-written sory is a page-turner from beginning to end. My grandchildren and I were impressed with all the adventure and excitement we shared with this positive new juvenile hero. We can't wait for the sequel. Kudos to Mr. Clevenger.

Thought those other books were keeping you on the edge of suspense? You won't believe this one. Incredi-boy is so much fun that I'm waiting for the next one already.This author is a real find for Amazon.com.

Lee Clevenger's beautifully-crafted novel about wishes granted and their inevitable consequences manages to capture the interest and imagination of adults, despite its juvenile hero.
Reading this charming and mysterious story to my five year-old friend, Milo, gave me as much pleasure as it did him. More, its inescapable moral allowed me to revisit some of my own, long-forgotten wishes -- and to give thanks that many of those wishes went unfulfilled.
The only flaw of this delicious novel is its demand to be read to the end, time notwithstanding. So my only advice is that IncrediBoy's adventure be started rather early in the day lest bedtime be forgotten in the glow of a great story.

One of the most well written books I have read in some time.It grabs your attenion and refuses to let go. There is a part of us all residing in Christian Savage. Can you guess the ending? Not only is this a book I will read again, I hope to see future books from Mr Clevenger. I encourage anyone in need of a little adventure to not only purchase this book for themselves, but to share the adventure.
