The story was somewhat predictable until the end. The end is a huge surprise! It was hard to keep reading because it did get boring at parts, but stick it out for the end!

I couldn't put this one down. I knew some of this information before, but thought that this was nicely done and accessible for a young audience, especially in view of the difficult issues in Poe's life. This biography made me want to read more about Poe and more of his work.

I am not one for true crime, but my love of Sherlock Holmes led me to pick up this audio book for a road trip. This is a collection of true crime and mystery stories, all originally published in the New Yorker and other publications. Other than the first story, Mysterious Circumstances: The Strange Death of a Sherlock Holmes Fanatic, none of the other stories really related to Holmes. Some were more intriguing than others. Trial By Fire, about a man who may have been wrongfully executed by the state of Texas, was heartbreaking. The Chameleon, about a man who was a master impersonator and fraud, was hard to believe, it was so bizarre. All in all, just so-so. But if you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, try to get your hands on Mysterious Circumstances by David Grann, The New Yorker, December 13, 2004.

I have this book memorized... The night Max wore his wolf suit.. and made mischief of one kind.. and another.. his mother called him, "Wild thing!" and max said "I'll eat you up" so he was sent to bed without eating anything. That very night, in Max's room, a forest grew, and grew, and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around. And an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max. And he sailed off, through night and day, in and out of weeks, and almost over a year, to Where the Wild Things Are! And when he came to the place where the Wild Things are they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws until Max said "Be Still!" And tamed them with the magic trick of staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once, and they were frightened, and called him the most wild thing of all and made him Kind of All Wild Things. "And now", cried Max "Let the wild rumpus start!" "Now stop!" Max said and sent the wild things off to bed without their supper. But Max, the King of All Wild Things, was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all. Then all around from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat, so he gave up being king of where the wild things are. But the wild things cried, "Oh, please don't go! We'll eat you up, we love you so!" But Max said "No!" and climbed into his boat and sailed off, through night and day, in and out of weeks, and almost over a year, into the night of his very own room where he found his supper waiting for him.. and it was still hot. My mom read it to me that much:)
This is actually a text book I picked up for a class on HTML I was taking....it's an excellent textbook and well organized. It covers everything you would want to know about HTML and even gets into the CSS aspects. It has taught me much.
Love the way this non fiction piece was written. It read like fiction but was so filled with details and points of view you felt like your WWII knowledge just improved. Shocking details about what the "Pretty Good Club" at the State Department didn't do during the 30s to prevent Hitler's dictatorship.

This a fun series, but I'm getting a bit sick of the main character's (Dresden) hang dog attitude. I know the author wants to make him a bit "human", but still, I want the good guy to finally kick some butt at the end and show his cool stuff! Unfortunately even in Dresden's best moments there's still a downside to the plot which (in my opinion) steals from the pinnacle of the story line. Entertaining read, but not spectacular.
This is a re-read for me, though it has been over thirty years since I first encountered it. G. K. Chesterton makes the point that the most important thing about a person is his philosophy, whether it is spurious or sustaining. "We think that for a general about to fight an enemy, it is important to know the enemy's numbers, but still more important to know the enemy's philosophy. We think the question is not whether the theory of the cosmos affects matters, but whether, in the long run, anything else affects them." What Chesterton refers to as heretics are those who espouse spurious ideals. These people include George Bernard Shaw, Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Wells, Omar Khayyam (?! - for boozing while unhappy), George Moore, Lowes Dickinson, Celtophiles, James McNeill Whistler, and various other fin-de-siècle figures who do not much signify in our time. (Maybe Chesterton was right?) In that case, why read the book? Perhaps, the answer is that Heretics is worth reading because Chesterton is in his own person a great thinker. He is an optimist who attempts to ferret out ways of thought that lead people to various dead ends. Reading GKC carefully is in itself a positive act that makes the reader feel good -- especially if he is inclined toward Catholicism, which Chesterton ultimately was. Although I myself consider myself to be an ex-Catholic, I respect Chesterton and love the act of reading him to come across those amazing paradoxes that make me think about what is true and what is merely phantasmagorical.
This book want very good...But i have to say it was sort of interesting!!!!
