I'm a big Tomb Raider fan and also a fan of Angelina Jolie and I think this book is very good and it seems that the book was better than the first book. The book has good action sequences and kind of humorous at some parts. The plot is awesome and it one of those can't-put-the-book-down books. Another thing good about the book is it's at a low price! The highest price i've seen for the book so far is $...!!

Gore Vidal ventured that at a certain age litigation replaces sex. But why? What is it that both attracts and repels us? Lit illuminates the answers. Feel the angels of our better nature by reading the closing argument excerpt from To Kill a Mockingbird; sit with Dr.King as he writes out the whys of disobeying unjust laws in Letter From a Birmingham Jail; feel the straigtforward anguish of those who trangress the law with Cash's Folsom Prison Blues. Thane Rosenbaum's selction are inspired and often off beat(a closing argument from the TV show The Practice or a letter from the Marquis de Sade, in shackles, on the failures of legal punishment.) There is plenty in lit for a second volume---perhaps an excerpt from Measure for Measure or selections from legal noir fiction. No matter. This volume does not give us answers as much as makes us think on what the answers might be. The volume is well packaged. A gift for lawyers or those who love lit or both.

Law Lit is a joy, a compilation of segments from the best of the best, each dealing with law, its ins & outs, its practitioners & observers. I've purposely tried to read slowly & refrain from approaching many segments at one time in order to extend the pleasure of reading this wonderful collection.

My favorite Wiggle, Greg, is in front of this book, where he's telling us about his Network Wiggles' News...and Captain Feathersword's weather forecast with his magic weather sword and Dorothy the Dinosaur being a news reporter, and much more.

I find the book cover very cute because, it's square-shaped like a real TV. The color pages inside are great, too.

This is a great book for the Wiggles fans. What I particularly liked about it is the vividness of the photos. They're just striking in places! This book is a tour of a day at Network Wiggles. They introduce themselves in the beginning, do a song, then Greg does the "news." They do another song and then Greg goes back to work at the news desk, and it goes from there. If you've seen them on Disney, then you get the idea. Anthony does his workshop thing but music with Murray is omitted, as is "Where's Jeff?" It's very entertaining, well written and a definite must for the Wiggles fan. A great book, one that we all here highly recommend! (Just wish it was hardback because I think ours is being read so much that it might wear out!)

This a great easy-to-read adaptation of the wonderful movie script.

This book is a pretty good adaptation of the movie. Considering the wild visual action and humor of the movie, the author did a a decent job of describing them for the book. A great read for kids of all ages.

This is Bob Mills's best book yet, written in his chatty but informative style. Indirectly it suggests that Lindbergh (and the others who followed) were nothing but pawns of the news media and politicos for most of their public life. Lindbergh gets star billing merely because he was the first and greatest victim, and the one who struggled the longest, and perhaps most successfully, to get away.

Breezy writing and plenty of savvy observation about the way media creates heroes, and why some make the cut while others with perhaps more noteworthy credentials do not. Far from a stale history lecture, Mills writes in a very engaging easy-to-read style and peppers the books with thought-provoking commentary. This one was quite a find!

I think all of the Lizzie McGuire books are great and I would think that other people should also read them

I just recently read this book so I thought that I should review it while it's still fresh in my mind. I really like Lizzie Mcguire stuff. I'm a fan. Anyway, this a good and intriguing book about a normal girl, facing the same problems that you probably do.

Part 1:
Lizzie wants to win the Best Dressed award, but there are a few problems-the cheerleaders are always wearing more expensive, cooler clothes than her! Lizzie has her mind set on one particular pair of pants-but they're $65. Mrs. Mcguire offers to take Lizzie bargain hunting. Lizzie doesn't want to wear bargains, but she doesn't want to hurt her mother's feelings. What will happen?

Part 2:
Lizzie wants her pictures in the yearbook, but Kate, selfish as she is, won't put them in there! Lizzie, Gordo, Matt and Matt's friend, Melina, cook up a plan to put Lizzie's pictures in the yearbook. But will their plan succeed? Will Kate be taught a lesson that she doesn't always get her way?

This book's great. I guarantee it!

I really enjoyed this book. The story was very entertaining. A perfect summer afternoon novel. I really liked Darcy Lou's relationship with her mother. I also liked Lizzie's comments all throughout the book and the introduction and the info about the 'author' were very funny too. I liked this book very much. I would definitly recomend it!!

This book is awesome. It shows that mother's and daughters not only fight but get along too. Although Darcy Lou may seam to have a "perfect" relationship with her mother, the rest of the book is quite solid. It shows that kids aren't the only ones who make mistakes and somethimes the thing you need most is right under your nose. It also shows that you don't have to have lots of money to be absolutly rich. A group of people who care about is worth much more. Unlike money, they'll always be there and they are unreplacable. You must read this sweet little book!

I couldn't put it down because of the adventures,Arthur and Francine had.

I am a second grader. I think this is a very good book to read for a kid my age. It is a very exciting and funny book. I think it is the best "Arthur" chapter book I have ever read. I think you should read it.

Oh my gosh! I am so excited to have found this book! I used to read this when I was in grade school. (I am now 27.) I remember checking it out of the library on a regular basis along with 'Wagon Wheels'. I love the illustrations as well. I'm buying them both A.S.A.P.!

The Long Way to a New Land and The Long Way Westward are companion books that chronicle a family's journey from their Swedish farm, which is suffering from an extended drought, to a new home in Minnesota. The books describe the difficulty and dangers of the journey in a way that is non-complaining and full of optimism for a new life in America. Teachers, these books are wonderful for integrating with other subjects and topics, such as immigration, westward expansion, steamships, trains, geography, and American life in the 1860s.

My son enjoys this book because it explains how an airplane works. Ms. Frizzle's class takes a field trip to the model airplane show. When on student gets curious about flying, Ms. Frizzle decides to take the students to get on the airplane. They run into problems when Tim trips over the binoculars & breaks the controls. The class learns how the airplane stays in the air & when you move the propellers on the airplane the plane turns directions. I every child should read The Magic School Bus series

I read this book as part of a final project about children's science books. I found this book fun, adventurous and educating! As a teacher, I intend to stock my classroom library with this and the other books in the "Magic School Bus" series. The videos that correspond to certain books are also a good resource. Kids: you'll love it! Adults: it's an excellent resource; use it!
