Time Bandit (ISBN: 0345503724)
by Andy Hillstrand, Johnathan Hillstrand


On Jul 18 2008, armyofone said:

"If you enjoy the tv show deadliest catch you'll love this book. (I first ordered this book through Play Dayz books and was totally dissapointed with their service, and had to cancel the order and purchase through my local bookstore. I would definitely suggest not making a purchase through PLAY DAYZ.) Anyway, this book is a hard look at the whole ordeal that is involved in crab fishing. A side that is not looked into deep enough on the show. This is truely a tough book to read at times as you know that everything is the real deal. They don't have to embelish because the truth is scary enough. I love crabs and this subject always comes up whenever my gal and I go out for crabs. Of coarse they are fisherman and love to tell stories, but they are mostly the stories of drinking before and after their trip. A good read and worth the price. "

The Caverns Of Mare Cetus (ISBN: 1424180260)
by Jim Erjavec


On Jul 12 2008, xiceti said:

"4.5 stars. Excellent Hard Sci-Fi. Set in the Earth year 2165. The Explora Corporation sends ten people to inspect the caverns on Mare Cetus. Mare is an enigma to most. It sits at the edge of Tau Ceti's habitable zone. Though conditions are excellent for a thriving habitat of various species of life, Mare is void of any life whatsoever. Only Commander Hunter Larson knows at the beginning that the team is actually on Mare Cetus to lay claim on a large, priceless mineral deposit hidden deep within the caverns. Once known, the team members pack up to leave. Each member is an expert in their field. To lay claim on a stake is beneath them. However, once Hunter tells of the bonus they would receive if they remain, all agree to stay. Renata "Rene" Stone is Second in Command, a pilot, engineer, and Cavern Scientist. Trent Logan is Third in Command. He is an archaeologist and robotics expert. Ramon Ramirez is a Subsurface Engineer and Groundwater Specialist. Arielle "Ari" Talarian is a Planetary Geologist. (Ramon and Ari are a couple.) Edison March is a Subsurface Engineer with a history in dentistry. Garrett Jansen is a former mercenary, now the Security Specialist. Devon Snow is an Internal Observer (IOB). Isis Sandale is a Biochemist subcontracted to Explora. Richelle Ivers is an Organic Sedimentologist, also subcontracted to Explora. Shortly into the caverns, the robotics start disobeying commands and go rogue. Sometimes they actually seem to go beyond what is in their programming, as if they were actually thinking for themselves. Trent, the expert in robotics can find no possible way for this to be. When Hunter and Ramon cannot seem to stop bickering at each other, Rene must assume command. One team member dies and soon others are lost. Stranger still, instruments are now acting odd and a bio-scan shows that the team members are having abnormal spikes in their brain waves, pointing toward mental impairments. One catastrophe after another has each person looking at the others with suspicions. The worst part is that a few team members are positive they are being followed in the caverns even though no life registers on any piece of equipment. One member is attacked during a blackout, even though no one was close to her. Yet the scars support her claim. Rene becomes the glue that seems to hold the group together. Each member is trying to sway Rene to their view, but with the outrageous changes in everyone around her, Rene feels alone. Unable to contact Explora or request help, Rene must keep the team moving toward safety, while avoiding rogue robotics out to kill them, possibly one or more unknown entities stalking them, mental disabilities showing in everyone (including herself), and more. Even with all this, Rene has no idea just how much trouble she is really in! ***** This is hard sci-fi. By that I mean you must read every word to get the full impact of everything going on and to ultimately understand what happens toward the end. Those who understand Spanish will be able to follow everything Ramon says. Most of the time he speaks English, but he often switches over to Spanish when talking to himself or making some sort of rude remark about someone in the party. Even if you read every single word, chances are you may not "get" the things mentioned or shown toward the beginning of the book unless you read it twice. (I did.) Personally, I love books that you can re-read and find things you missed the first time around. They are subtle things that most will not catch the first time. The author has the option of stopping the story right here or continue another using some of the same characters. Toward the end of this story, the author gave many cool scenarios that could easily turn into future plots. I can only hope that Jim Erjavec decides to run with the Mendrax thread. ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews. "

by Sarah Dessen


On Jul 7 2008, BayShore said:

"“Someone Like You” is a story of the bond of friendship and how important that is, especially in the lives of teenage girls. There is a time in every girl’s life when she begins to pull away from her mother and turns to friends for that guidance and acceptance. Sarah Dessen really understands the pressures of being a teenager including school, jobs, peer pressure and home life. This is a story any teenage girl will be able to relate to."

Twelve Sharp (ISBN: 0312349483)
by Janet Evanovich


On Jul 3 2008, barsu said:

"I love this series. It is extremely funny. My only problem is the bad language. There's just no need for it. It doesn't help the book and it would be alot better without it. I purchased a new book, number four, and it had so much bad cursing and explict sex that I tossed it into the trash. I'm glad that the more recent books are alot better. They still have to much bad language tho. I hope she is realizing that younger readers like the books and don't need this or that just the books are better without it."

A Lawyer's Life (ISBN: 0312278268)
by David Fisher, Johnnie Cochran


On Jul 1 2008, Hazelwood_Booksellers said:

"Perhaps America's most famous defense trail attorney, Johnnie Cochran, passed away 29 March 2005, leaving a rich legal legacy of groundbreaking cases, including the murder trail of OJ Simpson, in what may have been "the" trail of the 20th century, and his signature case. Along the way he was involved in a multitude of spectacular cases including, the racially charged Jersey Turnpike Four, Michael Jackson; Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, Jim Brown, and Aretha Franklin, Sean "P Diddy" Combs amongst many. Lesser known was his works committed works in race relations, and within the African-American community. This autobiography is an intriguing and captivating look at his astounding career, and the astonishing man himself. A work that should be on the bookshelf of every lawyer, anyone in the legal art, and every collector of the genre. A real-life, absolutely spellbinding page-turner from beginning to end."

Rich Dad, Poor Dad (ISBN: 0446677450)
by Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter


On Jun 25 2008, BayShore said:

"“Rich Dad Poor Dad” is a book that makes you want to get up and take charge of your life. It is not a “get rich quick” book nor does it tell you step by step how to accomplish this. There is definitely some helpful advice and ways of looking at things in a whole new light – like your house as a liability rather than an asset – but it is up to you to find the path to financial freedom. Robert Kiyosaki is there to motivate and guide you. An excellent read for anyone who has finally had enough of the “rat race”."

The Earth, My Butt, And Other Big Round Things (ISBN: 0763620912)
by Carolyn MacKler


On Jun 20 2008, BayShore said:

"Virginia Shreves just doesn’t measure up. She doesn’t fit in with the pencil thin popular girls and certainly not with her picture perfect family. Then she realizes everyone else may not be as perfect as they seem. Rather than change herself to fit the perfect mold that society has created, she discovers that she only needs to learn to accept herself. “The Earth, My Butt, & Other Big Round Things” is a realistic coming-of-age story with the humor and spunk today’s teens can relate to.

Wyatt's Practical Psychiatric Practice (ISBN: 1585621099)
by Richard Jed Wyatt, Robert H. Chew


On Jun 20 2008, SusanVaresko said:

"I have used the Wyatt 2005 version in my private psychiatric NP Oregon practice for two years and now where I work for Modoc County in CA. It is a convenient and quick way to monitor patients with documented scale results and also to provide specific detailed medication information on psycbotropics to our mental health population. I am hoping to acquire the disk to be available to all our mental health staff which I believe will provide better client care."

"In most books the first few chapters are just leading up to the story and it takes a while before you get into the book. That's NOT how it is with Beyond the Reflection's Edge! The book kicks off in the very first chapter with more action than some books ever get into and gets even better from there. Once you start reading it you won't be able to stop! Whether you find reading fun or not you will definitely enjoy this book. I was up all night reading it! "

"Bryan Davis has done it again! Beyond the Reflection’s Edge is an incredible tale of fantasy and adventure filled with action, suspense, humor, and the power of love. I loved the captivating way the author blends in music with the story and the mirrors and different dimensions were enchanting. The vivid characters kept me rooting for more and I felt as I was in the story beside Nathan, Kelly, and his parents. It kept me on the edge of my seat until I turned the last page. This is one book that you will not want to miss! I can’t wait to see what other mysteries Bryan Davis has in store during the rest of the series. I recommend it to all teens."

"“Searching for Paradise” encourages readers to reexamine their relationships and life choices. Are you happy? What are your dreams? More importantly, what are you going to do about it? We may not all go to the same extremes as Addy and Lucky to reinvent ourselves and our lives; however these characters bring enough humor and emotion to keep the pages turning."

Beyond the Reflection's Edge (ISBN: 0310715547)
by Bryan Davis


On May 15 2008, christiangraces said:

"Mr. Davis's complex and brilliant story-lines never cease to amaze me. I have been a fan ever since his first young adult novel, Raising Dragons, and Beyond the Reflection's Edge tops everything he's written thus far! Filled with exciting chases, mysterious characters, and a wonderful Christian theme, BTRE is an amazing book that I would recommend to any young adult. My only caution is that there are occasional discussions about extra-marital sex (not glorifying it, but showing it for what it is: sin) which might not be suitable for kids under 15. I read the entire book the day I got it, in just a few hours. It's extremely intense, fast-paced action that will NOT allow you to put the book down. I anxiously await the next book in the series. "

Crank (ISBN: 0689865198)
by Ellen Hopkins


On May 2 2008, BayShore said:

"This account of how quickly an average teen can be thrust into a world of drugs was a real eye opener. As a parent, it’s easy to think “not my child” and I am sure Kristina felt that way about herself before “Bree” took over. The way this book is written, in verse, creates a powerfully dramatic narrative. Although this may be a quick read, a story within a story is discovered by reading down the columns. I would recommend this book to every teen and parent."

"James Patterson is known for his mysteries such as the Cross series and the Women’s murder club. “Sundays at Tiffany’s” is a love story resembling the likes of Nicholas Sparks, a love which knows no boundaries and can withstand the test of time. This novel surpasses “Sam's Letters to Jennifer” and comes in a close second behind “Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas”. "

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (ISBN: 0452287081)
by John Perkins


On Apr 25 2008, lastgold said:

"John Perkins has done a real service to Americans by revealing the true motivations behind "economic aid" to third world countries. This book could also be titled "Political Science 101", as it explains clearly that loans are made with the sinister true purpose of indebting poor countries to the point where they have no recourse but to default. Once the default has occurred, then of course the United States takes the oil reserves, mineral rights - or whatever has value in satisfaction of the debt. The sad part of the equation is - that all of this is planned ahead of time. The loans are made with the express purpose of enslaving the country, and confiscating their wealth! Political assasinations, empire building and the lies and deceits of government (our government), are carefully explained in thorough detail. For those of you who still think of your country as the holder of the moral "high ground", you owe it to yourself to read this book. Be prepared for the depression that follows. This is not an easy read. But I can guarantee - it will change your view of the "land of the free, and the home of the brave"! "
