3 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03

This is a short, not particularly interesting novel told in twelve parts. It also has some illustrations by famous comic artist Bernie Wrightson.

When the killings in a small town in yes, Maine, keep mounting up, the townspeople come to the conclusion a werewolf is at work. Redneck drunk hunters aren't too useful though, and a young crippled boy has to work it all out.


4 out of 5 stars "Missing" book by my favorite author..........2007-06-01

For some reason I have never read this book by King. I was working on the horror section in the bookstore in which I work and "found" this one. I have never read this one and started to wonder why. This is a very short and very fast read but it's also very good.

King is an amazing author and he's even better with his shorter stories because it's like an LSD shot of horror!!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT NOVELLA!.......2006-12-29

One of the best novellas I have ever read. There were no dull moments and the story was very well written. I won't spoil anything though. If you liked this book, check out the movie "Silver Bullet" based on this story, it is excelent. I would recomend both this book and the movie to anyone who likes horror, werewolves, or Stephen King.

5 out of 5 stars CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF is a beautiful and well crafted story!.......2006-10-27

Although it's a little on the short side, CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF happens to be one of the best werewolf novels around. In most Horror books and movies, the werewolf is usually given a bad name by corny plots or just plain bad acting. If anyone has seen THE HOWLING sequals, you know what I'm talking about. By all means, the werewolf in general (movie or otherwise) is one of the more evil and brooding mythical monsters of our time. Normally a man by day, the werewolf changes into a hulking beast by night. Stephen King's CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF shows due respect to the myth behind the monster without making it seem corny or lame. Basically the plot is pretty simple, a werewolf is killing people in a small town over the course of one year. Each chapter is one Month in the year, thus the title "Cycle of the Werewolf." One of the best parts about Stephen King's short story is the wonderful full color pictures in the book. Not only does it help the reader imagine the siutations in the story better but it also add's a graphic novel quality to the entire book. Think of Stephen King's "Creepshow" only less comic book in nature and more like a short story with pictures to boot. Over all, this little horror story is an enjoyable way to spend an evening. It's short enough to read in under a couple of hours and is a great addition to anyones Stephen King or graphic novel collection. In the 1980's, they actually made a movie about this short story called "Silver Bullet." Considering what they had to work with (it being just a short story and all), it turned out pretty good. Still, the book is amazing and any Horror fan should really check it out! On an end note, I think this book is perfect for alot of people. You don't have to be just a Stephen King fan to enjoy this story. Horror fans, comic book fans and artists in general will enjoy "Cycle of the Werewolf" without a doubt!

3 out of 5 stars Cycle of the Werewolf.......2006-10-13

"Cycle of the Werewolf" by Stephen King is a good book for someone old enough to comprehend it. It's a short and easy read. This book was short but still interesting. Personally I think it was too short and not enough to read but it was still okay. In this book you kind of know what to expect but then something you don't expect happens. This book is about a werewolf that is terrorizing a very small town in Maine. "Cycle" in the title refers to the cycle of the moon. The werewolf is cycling with the full moon. The book chapters are titled by the months of the year. The book follows the werewolf around all year on its adventures. It is a fairly exciting book and is a good book for even kids in the lower grades to read. This book is a good short book to read. Overall it is exciting but for those people who like thrills, it isn't the best. It's definitely worth your time to read it and since it's a short book, it won't take up a lot of time. I would recommend this book especially if your running out of time and need to get your reading done. It still provides enough plot and characters to write a sufficient report or presentation.

            Far older than his legend, the immortal Vlad Dracul has wandered the earth for centuries in search of the reincarnation of his wife, Elisabeta. Now he believes he has found the woman possessed by his beloved's soul and is prepared to make her his for all eternity.

            Tempest "Stormy" Jones is that mortal. She has long sensed the other, someone inside her fighting to take control, a feeling that becomes even stronger when the dark prince is near. But as Stormy denies the passion that burns between them, she also resists allowing Elisabeta to take over her mind and body to prevent her from claiming Vlad as her own.

            But when Elisabeta discovers Vlad's feelings for Stormy, her wrath knows no bounds. She demands that her destiny be fulfilled, and seeks to destroy her rival, leaving Vlad in anguish, tormented by what was…and what could be. Now only he can choose--who will live and who will die.

            4 out of 5 stars Mmmmmmmm.....I liked it........2007-09-12

            The book had a great plot and I do have to agree with one of the other reviewers, they characters licked their lips so much, everyone should have chapped lips. Besides that, I enjoyed the book. Maybe because I listened to it on audible, it gave the book more than just sitting there and reading it on paper. It made me upset with Vlad did not know what he wanted.

            Overall, I gave the book 4 stars. I could not give it the 5 I wanted, unlike a lot of people who read books, you have to understand that it takes time, knowledge, and again time to write a book and every writer, including myself, needs to know the truth, but not just a bad score because of repetitive or something different. That's the point of writing.

            1 out of 5 stars Well...........2007-08-20

            I love books, and i love reading different types of romance novels. However, I could not get into this book at all. I read it all, just to see if it could get better...but it didn't.

            2 out of 5 stars chapstick needed?.......2007-08-16

            I bought this on a whim at my local grocery store. It's fluff and bad fluff at that. The I swear the author used the phrase "licked her/his lips" at least a dozen times. I imagine they'll all have very chapped lips.

            The writing was confusing and it was never always clear when and to whom something was happening. The protagonist was supposed to be strong, but she whined and complained about "Vlad" all the time. boohoo.

            Lame, boring and poorly written

            4 out of 5 stars 4 stars.......2007-03-02

            Five centuries ago, Vlad Dracula lost Elizabeta, the one woman he loved, but was able to bind her soul to a ring. Rhianon told him that when the time came, in five hundred years, he would find her soul descendant and be able to rebirth her into a new body. Now, he has found the one destined to give Beta new life; Tempest, or Stormy, as she prefers to be called. For sixteen years, the two have been falling in love and the time for the rite that will allow Beta to take over Stormy draws close. However, death has turned Beta into a madwoman, and Stormy does not want to die, which she will if another soul takes over her body. Vlad has a terrible choice to make, but one an insane spirit may take from his hand.

            **** At first, I expected this to be much like Valerian's story, as written by Linda Lael Miller. However, though the concept of reincarnation and reborn loves is similar, and both stories are excellent, they are not clones. Stormy's dilema is poignant and suspenseful as she races to find a way to live. Vlad sometimes comes off as unsympathetic, but this may be one of the best Dracula's ever invented. ****

            5 out of 5 stars Great!!!!.......2007-01-19

            I really enjoyed this! And WOW--to find a way to actually accept and love Dracula--said to have been so cruel--so brutal--but you come to understand him--as well as Elizabeta---
            Stormy was fantastic in this---I liked her in Blue Twlight well enough, but as I read more into this story I could really connect with her feelings and fears!
            Bravo, Maggie Shyne! Bravo!

            5 out of 5 stars When Real Life interfers..........2002-06-04

            The Inner Sphere is suffering.
            Due to long running contractual disputes, Michael A. Stackpole ceased writing for the Battletech Universe (and the Star Wars Uni, on a side note) after this novel.
            It was a blow to the series.
            I think it is fair to say (and I speak as one of Mr.S's greatest fans) that this novel is not his best. At least the first half isnt. He really picks it back up in the second part, with his famous swashbuckling style of writing politics, action and intrigue, giving all you want and more from a series as rich and vibrant, as deep and inmence as Battletech.
            The first half is by no means a write off (pun-tastic!), but it is a little below Mr. Stackpole's high standard. It is almost completly, a combat scene. Now I realise that the same can be said of the brilliant volume 3 of "The Blood of Kerensky", "Lost Destiny", but this time, it is all just a little too familiar.
            Anyway, I still rate this a 5 star, as it is yet another stepping stone in the BTech Uni, a uni which is an absolute masterpiece in sci-fi.
            Get this.
            But get this last, after you have worked your way up through his others. Start with "The Blood of Kerensky" trilogy, if you're unsure. Then lock your door, throw out the phone, and enjoy...

            3 out of 5 stars I think Stackpole is getting Sick of 'Tech.......2001-08-31

            I was always a Stackpole fan. It was his books that started me on the series and his that still make me amazed when I read them. His sheer detail and vivid action scenes should be a watermark for all other writers. But in this, his latest and likely last Battletech book, something is missing. Creativity. His actions scenes, which could have been incredible, are instead canned and unispired. If you want to read a battletech book for the action, look elsewhere. If you want to read about the deep story line of Battletch, then read this book. That it does do.

            5 out of 5 stars The best Battletech novel ever!.......2000-07-20

            The first time, the Battletech novels made it to Germany, I became a fan of them. And to be perfectly honest after having read the other 41 novels, too, I can say that "Prince of Havoc" is the best one so far. The Jags are drowned in their own blood and cruelty, the Clan Invasion has ended (at least as long as the Wolfs and Jade Falcons are busy) and the Inner Sphere has radically changed. The role of being the bad guys has shifted from House Liao to House Steiner (thanks to Katherine Steiner's blood-thirst I can live with that - as a native Kraut). Michael Stackpole has managed to maintain such a high level of tension and incredible surprises and changes throughout the entire storyline, I can hardly wait for the story to be contiuned!

            Let's just hope that we do not have to wait too long!

            4 out of 5 stars Good book, but BattleTech is not quite what it used to be........2000-04-21

            I genuinely enjoyed reading Prince of Havoc, I still pick it up and re-read it every once in awhile. But the problem is BattleTech has changed. I remember reading the "old-school" books, the Warrior series, Wolves on the Border, Heir to the Dragon, and so on. BattleTech had a "cyberpunk" feel to it. Things were industrial and dirty, the machines everyone depended on were irreplacable and unreliable. I could have pictured a character wearing dirty clothes with oil stains walking down a dark alley with a big Stersnacht strapped to his side. But now, things are going towards the "space opera," like Star Trekkish. Things are never desperate. The cavalry always arrives (in this case Victor Steiner-Davion) to save the day. It used to be that in conflicts the winner still loses in the sense that whatever he lost cannot be regained. But now conflicts are big and the good guys always win without much cost (the lost machines and technology is now replaceable). I remember in Heir to the Dragon, I could feel Theodore Kurita's fear of bieng assassinated by his father. But now all of the characters don't have this fear and all the factions of the Inner Sphere are "happy." Maybe that's why I don't really play BTech anymore (and if I do it's a Periphery Campaign), I just read the novels. Fading Suns, now that's a RPG with a true "fallen empire" feel with retrograde technology! You can guess what I play now.

            5 out of 5 stars Hard hitting storyline........2000-03-10

            This book has what I call a hard hitting storyline, that kind of leaves the reader wanting more but the books ends on a note of continued in next book feeling.This book is just what I like from Stackpole.It hits you hard between the eyes and says take that because I have more to beat you with.

                TO THE VICTOR GO THE SPOILS... Task Force Serpent has triumphed and Clan Smoke Jaguar is shattered beyond redemption. But the final battle is still to come, when Prince Victor Steiner-Davion braves the unknown and travels to the very heart of the Clans: Strana Mechty. There, with elite units from across the Inner Sphere, he must wage the ultimate battle to destroy the Crusader cause and forever eliminate the possibility of a new Clan invasion. Pushed to the edge of endurance by a peace they cannot understand, the Clans accept the challenge -- and the ultimate battle begins. But even if the Inner Sphere should prove triumphant, will their return be what they expect? Prince Victor left an Inner Sphere united under a new Star League to battle the most dangerous for the Inner Sphere has ever encountered: the Clans. But he also left behind his scheming sister Katrina Steiner, whose ambition knows no bounds. Task Force Serpent and Prince Victor believed that facing the Clans on their own homeworlds would prove the most difficult fight of their lives. They will soon learn that their fight has just begun.

                This book has such an inimitable style and hero that places it way above the works of ordinary mortals. This is one for the ages. You will never read anything like it in all of fiction, more is the pity.

                            "Dreaming awake and asleep," Roland Pritchard's life is a busy one. When he wakes in our world, he's stuck in a marginal job trying to care for his disturbed mother; when he sleeps in our world, he pursues a scholar's life in the isolated, mysterious Abbey. Sleeping or waking, both lives are frustratingly constrained, and when Roland is offered opportunities to break away in both worlds, he embarks on dual journeys of self-discovery leading to union.

                              5 out of 5 stars Scratches Where it Itches.......2007-09-23

                              A friend used to tell the story of being lost in rural Ireland on holiday. Stopping a local farmer, he asked the way to Dublin. The farmer replied, "Well now, if I were trying to get to Dublin, I wouldn't start from here."

                              The genius of this book, which I have found enormously helpful in clarifying what I think about Christianity, is that it starts from where I and, I suspect, many others Westerners find themselves. This is not a book which requires you to be on the wavelength of the already-committed Christian or to be familiar with her in-house vocabulary. The author is clearly used to addressing a wider audience.

                              I have to confess that I have little patience with the religious jargon or party-politics of the kind found in some of the other reviews on this page. As I try to understand what Jesus may have to say to me about God, I find the in-fighting of his followers over the precise meaning of words like "atonement" or debates about whether the Reformers or the Roman Catholics have it right, profoundly unhelpful and unattractive. Such discussions do not make me want to go searching for God if I have to do so in the company of those who enjoy splitting theological hairs or putting each other down.

                              Tom Wright, however, caught my attention immediately not only with his crystal-clear prose and fresh, provocative imagery but with the insight that the reader will know what he means when he speaks of the Echoes we have all heard which speak to us of the greater reality for which we are all looking. In the four short, brilliantly crafted and memorable chapters which make up Part 1, he explores four areas of human experience which preoccupy many of us: the search for justice in a world which seems incapable of providing it; the widespread interest in "spirituality" which has many of us caught up in wild goose chases; the universal need to live in relationship with others, with the created order and, Wright would add, with God; and the puzzle of beauty, what it might be and why it fascinates us. The first part of the book essentially asks the question, "Do these experiences ring bells with you?". Inevitably, the answer is "Yes", and the reader is then drawn into a explanation of why this might be so from a Christian perspective which is always illuminating, sometimes erudite, never patronizing. Parts 2 and 3 take a fresh look at the historical Christian faith under headings with which most Christians, from the evangelical to the orthodox, would be familiar and comfortable. They include "Jesus, Rescue and Renewal", "Living By the Spirit", "Prayer" and "Believing and Belonging".

                              One of the marks of a great teacher is the ability to simplify and distil complexity without becoming simplistic or imbalanced. Tom Wright has this gift in abundance. One senses the depth of his scholarship on every page and respects him for it, but the text which emerges from the depths of his experience is attractive and accessible enough to hold even a teenager's attention. One might almost say that, like many popular airport novels, this is a "page turner". Once hooked, you want to know what comes next.

                              The overview that he is able to offer of the key components of Christian belief is impressive. If nothing else (and it is a great deal else) this would make a first-rate revision course in Christian basics for jaded believers in need of refreshment. And for those who may have been misled without realising it. I have been a Christian for 35 years, have belonged to a number of different churches and have read countless books about the Christian faith; but I have been startled to discover in these pages that I hold assumptions which shouldn't be there. I am grateful to have been put right by a man who really knows what he's talking about and can demonstrate it with wisdom and gentleness from a deep knowledge of Scripture, theology and church history. If I may use a Wright-like image, the experience of reading this book has been, for me, a little like sitting in the chair at the optician's while he places a series of lenses in front of my eyes. As lens after lens is applied and adjusted, eventually the furniture in his office comes into clear focus and I see it and him as they were meant to be seen, without the blur.

                              If you are looking for a book which has a chance of reigniting your hope that the church may have something to say to the world after all, as long as it scratches where people are itching and speaks to them in a language that they understand, this may well be it. On the other hand, if you are trying to sort out which of the scandalously numerous Christian denominations has cornered the correct interpretation of this or that verse of the New Testament, you may be disappointed. There is an absence of bigotry here, as one would expect of a book written by a thoughtful disciple of Jesus. As the author Anne Rice has written, "This is a book about Christ that is full of the spirit of Christ himself".

                              4 out of 5 stars A Great Overview of the Christian Faith.......2007-09-19

                              N.T. Wright, known for his scholarly work on the historical Jesus, writes for a more general audience in this book.

                              Wright begins the book by discussing four `signposts' of the divine; our desire for justice, our quest for spirituality, our need of relationships, and our apprehension of beauty. According to Wright, while such things do not necessarily point us to the Christian God, they do compel us to look beyond the purely physical universe to something deeper.

                              He then proceeds to go through the basic Christian story, from the beginning of the Old Testament to the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. He goes on to discuss the practical implication of this story for our lives, including an explanation of the relevance and importance of Christian disciplines such as worship, prayer, and Biblical reading.

                              One of Wright's main themes is to explain that, according to the Christian worldview, heaven and earth interlock. This is opposed to pantheism, where God and the universe are one, and Deism, where God is separated from, or at least not much interested in, the world. Wright points out that the beauty of living the Christian life is the ability to live where heaven and earth collide. Christians are not merely those who believe an abstract set of theological truths, they are people who are striving, individually and collectively, to live as a part of God's new creation-

                              "We are called to be part of God's new creation, called to be agents of that new creation here and now. We are called to model and display that new creation in symphonies and family life, in restorative justice and poetry, in holiness and service to the poor, in politics and painting." [236]

                              Simply Christian is an extremely accessible and readable book that will come as a breath of fresh air for many.

                              The Episcopal Church my wife and I attend is using this book along with the Bishop's video and workbook in Christian Education. Very solid and uplifting! I truly recommend it! Grace and Peace!

                              5 out of 5 stars A classic in the making.......2007-09-09

                              This was a wonderful book. The insights of the author were deep and encouraging. The book certainly would strengthen someone's faith. He deals with most of the common ideas of Christianity, such as worship, belief, transformation, but is not "out there" is his ideas. In fact, his ideas are fresh, without being strange. This is a great read with great insights. Certainly a book most people would enjoy and benefit from.

                              1 out of 5 stars way too much.......2007-09-04

                              this book was recommended, so i bought it. Wished I hadnt. Too much non-sense, and way too complicated for an otherwise "Simple" subject. I gave it to a intellectual friend of mine who said it was mindless rambling.
