I read this book a LOOONNNG time ago...and just recently re read it for my college class...I had such a great time with it. The book has not lost its charm, but I am finding it just as funny as ever...it's a book that appeals to kids AND adults. I love the humor and word play ("has beans") and what happens to the "bad" kids at the very end of the novel still makes me laugh...only harder.

Yes, yes, yes...this one doesn't have the fast-paced action as, say, the second book. But it does set the stage for more to come. I think that everyone's so upset because it took him so long to finally come out with another book. He can remedy this problem by coming out with one this Christmas. (I HOPE)I've read all 8 books in the past 4 months and none have disappointed. While I wait for the next WOT installment, I'm going to read Jordan's other (smaller) series The Fallon Chronicles. What can I say? He's good.

Book title: The World of Christopher Robin : The Complete When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six (Pooh Original Edition)

If you loved When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six, you will love The World of Christopher Robin. Like The World of Pooh, it has wonderful color illustrations. Unlike The World of Pooh, it is a book of poetry. The poems are lovely. One of the most widely known poem "Us Two" or as I like to call it "Wherever I am there's always Pooh" is in this great book. The poems are great for reading as a bedtime story or on a rainy day. The drawings of E. H. Shepard always add to the fun of reading this perfect book. Every A.A. Milne or Winnie-the-Pooh fan should buy this book to add to their collection of Pooh books and memorobilia.

Excellent book for women to read as well
Book title: The Prostate : A Guide for Men and the Women Who Love Them
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
My father received word that he had prostate cancer. Devastated by the news, I sought to read as much as I could do in an effort to be well informed and assist my parents. This book is written in clear language for the layman to understand. It was wonderful to be able to share this information with my Dad and my spouse. My Dad read the book over a weekend and feels very well prepared to talk with his physician about treatment options. Remember - knowledge is power and it pays to be informed when facing a life-threatening disease. Women - read this book so that you are informed. My mother read this book after my father and feels that she gained a lot of knowledge. I am grateful to Dr. Walsh and Ms. Worthington for writing a book in such a way that it could be understood by all.

I was glad to see there are others out there who were as taken with this book as I am. I would dearly love to sit and talk with Ruth Beebe Hill and hear how the fiction was woven from the winter count hide used as the basis. After my twelfth reading, I finally came to realize that she had actually fashioned Ahbleza after herself, and that Wanagi very likely represented Chunksa Yuha. It takes at least six reading to begin to understand the content. I've never known any book I preferred to read over and over again like this one. My sister has my one beat up copy; I may have to hunt her down and kill her if I don't get it back.

I used this book as a supplement for a networking university course. This book covers a lot of material, there is no single question I had that it couldn't answer ! I recommend it to anybody interested in networking (all layers of the OSI model : physical, data-link, network, transport, session, presentation and finally presentation). It also covers ethernet standards, TCP/IP stack and even give some source code in C to explain some concepts. A must have of any modern computer student.

Seriously, I have recommended this book to almost every woman I know! It is a fabulous, information-rich guide for anyone who is sexually active, trying to achieve pregnancy or even just thinking about it. Ms. Weschler speaks to women openly and with respect. It has allowed me to speak to my OB/GYN as an informed equal. I feel empowered and totally prepared for the day when my husband and I decide to "work" on getting pregnant. Read this book!

This is one of the best horror books that I've ever read. When I was reading the book it would make me hear things a night when I would go to bed. It would even give me goose bumps while I was reading it. This is the first book I found that was able to do that to me. The main character in the story Harry Keogh is a man that can talk to the dead. While he talks to the dead, he finds out that there is a horrible plague is on the earth, they were telling him about the wampier's that were feeding off the human race. Also in the story there's a man named Boris Dragosani that could talk to the dead also but he uses that power to take the secrets away from the dead. In this book it is a fight to the death with the dead included in the fight.

This is a great and a classical work in the general interest of the computer science field. But I'm not agree with this:
Which americans are the cryptology founders? all are russian, german or british, people that USA took from his native countries promoting wars and inestability over the world. Those you call americans are inmigrants. Also "americans" are people who live in America, not only in the USA, the problem is: How can we call americans if they use the term America as a property of USA?

The book really goes into details on how to get quality of a painting surface. It tells how to prepare the surface, different types of walls, different types of paints, tips from professional painters and even some decorative painting techniques. If a person has never done any painting on his/her own, this is the book you definitely need. Even if you've painted before and you are not satisfied or you did a sloppy job, this book will tell you about your mistakes. This book will really teach you how to get best quality of a paint job that you can match it up with a paint job done by a professional painter. I will highly recommend this book if you are thinking of starting a painting business or even doing a home project on your own. But for a business along with this book you'll need "Painting Contractor's Handbook".
