Wulf and Wulfin
Book title: The Wolves of Time Vol II: Seekers at the Wulfrock
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
The second book of the series comes to an end with the wolves of time(from an earlier book-journeys to the heartland) when the Mennen(mankind) destroy everything the wolves know and a few of the pups get killed too which is quite sad. Amazingly graphic and with intense descriptions makes you want to read on through this book of adventure,love and friendship. I couldn't put the book down and when it was over, I wanted the sequel to be a trilogy! I didn't want to put the book down because I felt like I was one of the pack, just totally wild and almost free. I loved the ending although it made me cry... A book that's definitely worth reading because it questions the morals of men and whether we should "own" the planet since there are other animals we share it with...

Beautiful Romance

Harry and Dizzy (hero's nickname for the heroine) are the lead protaganists. Their characters are quite well drawn and I especially like the hero's treatment of the heroine - protective & possessive. The ways and means he tried to convince the heroine not to go back to England were very touching and sometimes humourous. Dizzy is also quite finely drawn by the author. She's funny & sensitive. You care about them and really wish for them to get together. I strongly recommend this book.

An unparalleled study in military logistics
Book title: Alexander the Great and the Logistics of the Macedonian Army
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Despite the somewhat obscure title, this is a great read. Engels traces the journey of Alexander and his army across Asia and, using mostly quantitative analysis, explains how they managed to keep themselves fed through it all. In some cases, as in the Gedrosian desert, they didn't -- with devastating results. I've read many books on Alexander but this offers a fresh perspective, explaining not only what happened but why it happened. If only more history were written this way.

Great, but..a bit too hard.
Book title: Kiss Me While I Sleep : A Novel
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
I agree with Amy and Jenny. Howard is the best romantic/suspense author writing today. I always have to read her books as soon as they come out--hardcover or not! And Kiss Me While I Sleep was fine, it's just that the main character was a bit too hard for me I guess. I just never really liked her or felt like I had much/anything in common with her. And it doesn't have too much to do with her occupation, she was just so brittle and distant. And I thought that the very end was too pat, a bottle of whoop*ss was definitely in order. It is-though-another very good Linda Howard book.

Another great vacation thanks to Frommer's!!
Book title: Frommer's The Carolinas & Georgia (3rd Ed)
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
My husband and I visited Charleston for two nights on our way to Florida in June. As always, Frommers's to-the-point opinions were right on. We had a wonderful stay at a historic inn and enjoyed some memorable dining experiences. Although it was wretched hot, the maps of Charleston were easy to understand and we were easily able to venture out of town to explore the Isle of Palms and the Boone Plantation without getting lost-hehe.
I cannot say enough good things about the organization of this book. We were easily able to find activities and dining options in our price range and were never steered wrong. It also includes so many other wonderful vacation destinations (i.e. Outer Banks, Savannah, Beaufort, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, etc) so you definitely get your money's worth.

Great background for MS networking standard-bearer!
Book title: SHOW STOPPER! CLOTH : THE BREAKNECK RACE TO CREATE WINDOWS NT AND THE NEXT GENERATION AT MICROSOFT
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
I found this book to be:
1. A good read. This is oftentimes not a quality on books dealing with computers. Pascal held my attention by focusing on the personalities behind the development of NT, not the technical info. There are many books out there that do that. What he offered was interesting insight into the people behind the product.
2 Well balanced. The technical aspects were simply explained without being condescending or disinteresting. Again, this is a very difficult balancing trick.
As a network administrator and an MCT, I found the background information provided by Pascal both entertaining and useful.
I would recommend this book to any individual seeking to learn more about Windows NT, for whatever reason. I've put it on my recommended reading list for my students

The Best By Far!
Book title: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Feng Shui
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Don't be fooled by the title. While the contents educates the public to what traditional feng shui is all about, it is written in a very user-friendly and humourous manner. Every page from cover to cover is a goldmine of information that is useful to not only beginners, but indeed advanced students. This book covers the basics thoroughly and the added bonus of how to construct a flying star chart along with basic interpretation as well as hard to find information on 4 pillars of destiny makes this book a MUST. It is seldom these days that one gets so much more for your money. If you are confused by all the conflicting feng shui books over the years, this SECOND EDITION book is an essential item to your library.
