This book, #5 of 14 in the Fu Manchu series, is a direct continuation of the previous entry, "The Daughter of Fu Manchu." Thus, a reading of that earlier story is fairly essential when going into this one. Shan Greville again narrates, and all our old friends are back: Nayland Smith, Dr. Petrie, Orientalist Lionel Barton and his niece, Rima. Comm. Weymouth and Karameneh make only token appearances in this work. Thanks to the essential oil of a rare Burmese orchid, Dr. Fu has attained a new lease on life in this book, and is both stronger and more active than ever. You might call him a brand-new Fu! Fah Lo Suee, his evil but hot-blooded daughter, makes some nice eerie appearances in this tale, as well. The story this time concerns Fu's attempts to steal the so-called relics of El Mokanna from Sir Lionel. These relics will enable him to foster an Islamic uprising that will sweep the world. The action jumps from Persia to Cairo, to adventure on the high seas and then back to jolly old London. Mixed in with the usual fast pace we are treated to Ogboni killers, mind-control drugs, dervishes, metal dissolvers, a "ghost mosque," and amnesia. One of the high points of the novel is a midnight ransom meeting with Dr. Fu Manchu in the heart of the Great Pyramid; a very memorable sequence indeed. Rohmer even manages to throw in a nice sentimental ending of sorts to this story, in which Fu gets to show what a classy dude he is capable of being. I am docking the book a star because several of the events are not explained (how did Fu get out of the Great Pyramid, anyway?), and because the writing in one or two scenes was a bit fuzzy (I still can't figure out that Ogboni spider-thread pendulum trick). Still, these are minor quibbles. This is essentially a mighty fun read, and a worthy addition to the Fu saga.

Of all the David Baldacci books I ahve read. I liked this one the best. I was captivated from the very beginning all the way to the last page.
One of the best books ever. A wonderful window on the world of a young girl and how she grows up in the West.
Angel has too choose between bad-boy graffiti artist Miguel and golden boy artist Nathan, and balance her choice with her own art.

Clarity is part of a family of psychics. Her mother can read thoughts. Her brother can talk to the dead. And Clarity can touch an object and she the memories of those who touched it. When her quiet seaside town is hit by a murder, Clarity is asked to use her special ability to aid the police in their investigation. CLARITY is a well-crafted mystery with appealing characters. Clarity has such a open personality and fun ability, I find it a little hard to believe that she has no girlfriends (the book's explanation aside). There isn't a single cool, independent chick in the whole town? How sad! If I lived there, I'd be hanging out with Clarity all the time - Tiffany and popularity with the townies be damned. But at least Clarity has plenty of boy attention. There's the sweet/sour relationship with her ex Justin, her sizzling chemistry with the mysterious new hottie in town, the easy rapport with her brother's best friend, and the tender bond she shares with her brother. I was so caught up in the depth of the relationships portrayed, I didn't even mind that I was able to finger the culprit pretty early on and also have a good idea of that person's motives. I look forward to more adventures with Clarity and crew when the sequel PERCEPTION drops in March 2012. And here's hoping she gets some girlfriends soon!
Read this because Ben had it assigned in his la class. Interesting read--I am wondering why it was selected for highschool english class as it is really ethereal. A boy goes on a journey to find his personal legend---slow and metaphoric.

Fantastic. Each rubai is so pithy, yet they're intoxicating taken in large doses -- just like Khayyam liked it. As a whole the Rubaiyat are cynical and yet also hilarious, and I mean in the laugh-out-loud way. FitzGerald's first and last translations of them are both worth reading, if you can get your hands on a volume that contains both; the last edition contains more rubaiyat and elaborates on some of the ideas presented in the first, but I prefer many of the first edition's turns of phrase to the last edition's rephrasings.

Such a great book, and even better than the movie (nothing new about that... there's just no way to put it all in.)
This book scared me so bad I could swear there was someone in my kitchen even though I was alone!
Most of the quilts in Modern Basics are easy squares and triangles. Although the fabrics in the book would not be my choice of fabrics, her choice of colors really shows off the designs so that a new quilter will be able to understand the importance of the light, medium, dark choices. For example, the Wind Power quilt that has three fabrics. The pink fabric just pops out of the quilt. I like the Tumbling Cubes quilt the best. It is a plain quilt with small bright colorful accent squares. I also like the 123! Its three off center strips sewn into a square would be perfect for a brand new quilter. There are no skill levels listed, but I would say that most of the quilts are fairly easy and the skill levels would be absolute beginner, easy, and advanced beginner. Honestly, I would recommend them to any quilter that would like a fast, easy quilt to make. I like the basic quilting information in this book. It contains more detailed instructions than I usually see. There is good information on rotary cutting, squaring up, piecing and even using your sewing machine walking foot. Even as an experienced quilter, I will keep this one on my permanent shelf.
