I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Though it was originally intended for a target audience of individuals new to leadership, I certainly is a good excample for life skills as well. Additionally, dog lovers would gain benefit as well. Each leadership concept / chapter starts with a story from the life of Taz, a 6-pound blind miniature pinscher. The stories are pertinent and entertaining and the more you learn about Taz the more you want to hear. Taz is an amazing dog. Each chapter also has actual examples from the authors own management experiences followed by the lesson. The book is less than 100 pages and yet packs a big punch. In the back of the book the author also included some training ideas. This book is worth reading and is well worth the price.

I had a creative writing teacher who decided to only read a total of 7 great authors for the remainder of his lifetime. His reasoning: If there is only so much allowable time to read during one's lifespan, why not focus solely on the greats? Of course 'The Bard' was in the top 5. This year I thought it would be fun to read biographies/histories of at least 5 of my favorite literary giants. I'll let you know how it goes.

I shall write a wee bit about my thoughts on this book as I read, for I do not trust my foggy brain to keep up with them if I wait until the last minute. *I like the juxtaposition of 20th Century (early) Ancelstierre with a medieval-esque world of the Old Kingdom. It threw me for a loop at first, how the prologue was very medieval (pre-Industrial), and the first chapter was modernesque. I was thinking, are they immortal or something? But further reading clears that up. *I don't read as much pure fantasy (which I am working on changing), but this magic system stands out to me. The Charter concept. The magic system is based on sketching out these symbols that have a magical power behind them. They can also be whistled or sung, if bells are not available. *There are some geniuinely creepy elements that make this story borderline horrific, if not dark fantasy in tone. There were moments that held me breathless, my stomach tight with dread. I like the manner in which Nix incorporates zombies. Zombies are not a favorite horror element of mine. But this type of zombie is scary, because the emphasis is on the dark spiritual (if you will) aspects. The ability of dark Charter mages to command spirits to come back from the realms of the Dead, binding them in service. Dark stuff. The loss of free will is a big sticking point with me. Nix succeeds in unnerving me in a deeper way, and doesn't focus on the gory, squeamish aspects of zombies that repel rather than cause the fear response. *The author's ability to describe and propel the narrative without being too dense. I like a more natural, simplistic form of prose when I'm reading. That is what has kept me from starting some of the magic fantasy sagas, thus far. *The welcome elements of subtle humor. Mogget is a spirit in the form of a cat. He could not be more feline in personality. I love this scene: Mogget had no time for such introspection, mourning or pangs of responsibility. He left her watching, blank-eyed, for no more than minute, before padding forward and delicately inserting his claws in Sabriel's slippered foot.. That's exactly what one of my cats would do to get my attention. Haha. So far, I'm enjoying this read. I didn't even turn on my computer and get on Goodreads last night. I just read my book. And I turned off the tv to better concentrate. That's it for now... Update: 4/25/10 Okay, I finished this book after 1am this morning. I loved it. It was intense, it was moving, it was written in a manner that allowed the story to flow, but with a richness of detail that made it visually stunning as I read. The magic was fascinating. Intricate, but written so that the reader doesn't feel clueless. I absolutely loved Sabriel. She's a strong girl. She went through such a harrowing experience. I mean, there are some truly dark moments in this story. Her father must have been so proud of her. I know I was. Although the book doesn't really show Sabriel with her father, (the present Abhorsen (a person who sends the restless dead back where they belong), all that much, I loved the relationship between the two. A rich father-daughter relationship always appeals in a story, and I think readers of a similar mind will enjoy this part of the book. For many years, I didn't read fantasy. I am sad about that, and resolved to make up for lost time. Urban fantasy and paranormal romance rekindled my childhood love of this genre. This book has truly lit me on fire to read more fantasy. I was drawn to the heroism, but also the ambiguity of this world, where the power of magic has the power to corrupt those who are not strong of mind and spirit. I'm drawn to a story where the heroine is on a journey that tests her spirit, and she comes out of it a stronger, wiser person. Sabriel definitely fits the bill for that kind of story. Although Sabriel is the major focus of this story, I felt that Mogget and Touchstone were strong characters that added to the texture of this story. The light romantic elements between Sabriel and Touchstone were more than welcome. Sabriel was a vivid, captivating, often scary introduction to the Abhorsen series, and my first read by Garth Nix. It will not be my last.

I wish it did based on others' reviews but it just didn't interest me much. I'll keep it and try again in a few years.

They're chefs, not writers, and you can see it in the erratic writing style. The essays are loosely edited, and not well-organized. But since it's about a topic dear to my heart, I did enjoy reading this book quite a bit. For a really great book on the professional kitchen, I'd recommend Michael Ruhlman's Making of a Chef.

this is a fun read which also bring sup some fun sociological/ psychologival issues.
The Regeneration Triology is a mix of fact and fiction set in England during WWI. The first book, Regeneration (a Booker Prize nominee) is about the psychologist W.H.R. Rivers who treated the poet Siegfried Sassoon for shell shock. Sassoon's friend Robert Graves (I, Claudius)and the poet Wilfred Owen are in the story as well. The second book, The Eye in the Door, is about the very active campaigns that were waged in England against conscientious objectors and homosexuals with the central, fictional, character, Billy Prior, being bisexual himself. The third book, The Ghost Road, which did win the Booker, follows Billy Prior's fate and Dr. River's examination of his relationships with these young soldiers and his own life and prior career as a young anthropologist. I only read the first book and part of the second before I put it down to read a book for book club. I'm not finding myself racing back to finish it. It is interesting enough in depicting the details of the place and time but I don't think I ever warmed up to the characters.

This one has a very sad story line, I wondered if it would have a happy ending. I am happy to say it did, but I found myself in tears for most of the story. Now that I have finished the series I hope she will write a few more books ... I will miss the people of Avalon.

I truly enjoyed reading this book. Great story about a place and time I know very little about, being I'm white and born in the late 70's. I loved the "ebonics" ... the language is what made it all seem so real. I didn't enjoy the ending. It left me feeling like things still weren't right, but they weren't right and I guess that's how the author wanted me to feel about it.
