Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My cousin bought this book to read to his young sons. I decided to read it first before he did.At first I thought it was going to be all right. But as I started to read the story. I found that it was flat and not moving like you would have thought. Plus the title itself states sexual possiblities between...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am a 24 year old married woman, and like many Harry Potter fans I have been reading unfufilling series after unfufilling series for the last few years trying to find something to fill that void. Percy Jackson and the Olympians is fantastic. I have to say I did like the second and third books a little...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The title "5 Finger Star Wars" implies that the pieces will be laid out in 5 finger CONSECUTIVE positions. These arrangements are "SPLAYED OUT" 5 fingers making it very difficult for the beginner to figure out unless he/she already knows how to read all the notes on both staves perfectly. If they could...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was expecting much more of a nuts and bolts book on writing fantasy, but a lot of the material in the book seemed targeted toward having a better appreciation of fantasy or what's required to write it, rather than the actual mechanics of writing. I enjoyed reading the book anyway, but it was not entirely...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The essays in this text range in quality and depth - but overall the authors demonstrate how Rowling's saga elucidates ordinary human psychology, teaching/learning, and everyday experience. Harry isn't just for kids - his world is applicable to society. He's Huck Finn for the 21st century & the authors...
Triumph O/Imag: Jk Rowling (OA) (Overcoming Adversity) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I feel as though this book could have given more information about JK Rowling. Only about two of the chapters were about her life in general, the rest of the book was basically about the Harry Potter series and the fame the books are reciving. These other chapters really are of no use to people who want...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Just imagine living with the knowledge that J. K. Rowling, of Harry Potter fame, is responsible for your mother's death. That's the way Lauren "Ren" sees things. Her mother, a successful author in her own right, was researching for her latest book when the unthinkable happened - she was crushed by a...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Hocking has an uncanny ability to write fascinating little stories that are compellingly addicting. Her books are not my typical reading fare - I tend more toward the adult mysteries and suspense type of thing - however ever since I picked up Hocking's My Blood Approves series, I've been strangely addicted...

This book runs in the same vein as John MacArthur's _Reckless Faith_, although this book is more broad in its scope of defining deviant doctrines. AMong the statements that Dr. Lutzer...
