Circle of Stones, Woman's Journey to Herself.......2005-05-02

I can't tell you how this book touched my spirit. "How might (my) life have been different," if I had read this book when I was young and not 52 years. Better yet, how different it might have been if my own mother had read this book, or one like it, when I was young! I have recommended it to every woman who will listen, regardless of age. It is an oh, so gentle, yet oh, so powerful call to reconnect with ourselves and other women for common experience. It is NOT a man bashing book, quite the contrary, it merely calls for natural balance to be restored in our world. If you are a single father of a daughter, I recommend you read this book as a way of guiding your child...read it while she is young for future reference guidance. Mother's, it is not too late for you to learn from this book, and for you to guide your own daughters with it's wisdom.

Ideal for individual reflection.......2004-11-12

Circle of Stones.......2004-03-24

This book is an excellant one to use for women's indepth retreats.
It aids in healing our negative memories. The group would focus on how to expand their horizons, challenge their mind, inspire their spirit while nourishing the soul. It is a good book for a multi-generational women's group. This book helps us to find the path to healing.

A must have for every woman!.......2002-09-12

This book reads like poetry. It is deeply lyrical and has a flow to it like a dreamy, winding stream of music. It draws you in then goes inside of you, affecting your heart and ultimately your soul. There are moments of tears, moments of smiles and moments when you will say, "Ah, I understand that." You simply can't read this book and leave without being changed by it.

Poor quality printing........2007-05-10

Just a warning -- these are the flimsiest books you will ever see in your life. We bought them for our library and they fell apart like tissue paper after ONE use by a careful patron. The publisher should be ashamed at putting out such a poor quality product.

Most beautiful book- Spirited Away.......2005-12-06

This book is absolotly gorgeous. It captures the pictures from the actual movie. The story is the same with the movie. I strongly reccomend people watching or reading this book. I was inspired by my best friend, Annie. It shows how an real 10 years old girl react to this kind of situation. Miyazaki creates different texture from all the others.

A wonderful little book.......2004-03-08

Poor 10-year-old Chihiro Ogino is so unhappy that her family is moving to a new home. But, things go from bad to weird, when her father takes a wrong turn, and finds what he believes to be an abandoned theme park. When night falls, Chihiro finds herself in a strange and threatening world of magic and weird creatures. Rescued by a young boy named Haku, he tells Chihiro what she must do to survive and rescue her parents.

This wonderful little book is the work of Hayao Miyazaki, one of Japan's premiere animators. A great thing about this book is that it is printed so as to be read from back-to-front, right-to-left, in the Japanese style, helping to give the reader the feeling of entering another world. I really enjoyed this book, and found the story to be nothing short of wonderful. I highly recommend this book.

English Language Learners Love Miyazaki.......2003-07-19

My ELL students go wild over these books, and the back-to-front reading format doesn't seem to affect their usual English reading lessons. I introduced this set into my classroom library this past year. I imagine having seen the film first was helpful for most of my students, but any enticement to read has to be worth something. It certainly is from my standpoint as a teacher. These books are beautiful to look at and obviously fun to read. They remind me of the old Tintin adventure books which helped teach many overseas students to read English a generation ago.

Beautiful Anime Comic..........2003-06-10

A beautiful adaptation of the anime. Makes a GREAT gift. Too bad there is no box set or something, I think that would sell REALLY well...

Anyway, the color is just beautiful and its a great way to relive the action and emotion of the original anime, or for people who didn't see it to see it for the first time.

It presents recent collections from interesting designers from all over the world. It serves as a good introduction to some of them, so afterwards you can get to know each one's collection better. Good reviews, very nice images. And apart from that, a very nice book to use as a decoration for your office. : )

A look into the world of modern fashion design.......2006-01-22

This book is absolutely fabulous, there's no other way to say it. Whether you're looking for a gift for someone who simply loves fashion, or are someone who loves fabric and the art of fabric manipulation (which is generaly called clothing), this tome is an excellent resource for information on up-and-coming fashion and designers. As a textiles & apparel major I find this book to be a great source of inspiration, but the layout, the wealth of large beautiful photos, and the artistic design of the book itself would make it a great coffee table book. The book is also a great bargain on Amazon, I have seen it for sale in several stores for upwards of $90. If I could give it more than five stars I would!

great purchase.......2007-08-02

this compilation was a great read today at work. really kicked bordom out of the way!
it's three stories together, and each one of them was great (great is thrilling + funny).
I'm waiting for vol. 2 to arrive, and I hope it'll be as good as this one.
buy it.

Fun.......2007-07-28

A great comic book for horror fans. The books is composed of three main stories, each one is like a miniature slasher movie but with a couple of "slasher slayers" thrown in to the mix to aid the unfortunate targets of these undead serial killers. The idea is very interesting, especially if you're a fan of the 80's style hack and slash horror flicks. The characters are interesting, the artwork is great, there's a good amount of violence in usual slasher movie fashion. If you like horror comics, check this out.

Old Skewl.......2007-06-27

This is a fun book for fans of 80's slashers. Anyone who is a big horror fan will dig on this. It's generally not overly gruesome or anything, but it does a good job poking good natured fun at the genre.

A SLASHER OF A GOOD TIME!.......2005-11-23

With a genuine appreciation of slasher films of the 1980's comes Hack Slash: The First Cut from Devil's Due Publishing. Filled with all of the great clichés of those camp classics, Hack Slash is a fitting tribute to this favorite horror genre. Collected here are the stories of "slasher hunter" Cassie Hack, herself the daughter of a slasher known as "The Lunch Lady", who spends her days hunting down these serial killers accompanied by her hulking, misshapen partner Vlad. The book is filled with equal parts horror and humor as the pair hunt down a trio of gruesome killers. While the book may appear from the cover to just be another "scantily clad hot chick kicking butt" it's not...well it is, but it's not.

Writer Tim Seeley's irreverent tone keeps the stories moving at breakneck speed. In the first tale, Cassie and Vlad journey to a town where a mysterious figure is using undead animals to attack the locals. We soon find out that the figure is, or was, Bobby Brunswick, a mentally retarded employee at a vet's office that was the source of bullying by other locals until a prank went horribly wrong. Now Bobby is back from the grave with a legion of euthanized pets all ready to do his bidding and help him get revenge.

In the second tale, a goody-two shoes college girl whose boyfriend had an affair with another girl over spring break has used a dark book of magic to gain control over a true fire and brimstone, not to mention dead, man of the cloth to carry out her vendetta against the tramps and trollops of spring break. The third tale takes Cassie and Vlad to the "Whizzer World Philadelphia" convention where a serial killer is stalking comic creators Steve Niles, Skottie Young and model/artist Messy Stench. With a few well placed barbs at Wizard Magazine...and their show employees, this story dredges up the most loathsome serial killer yet. And yes...Steve Niles dies!!! Violent, but amusingly so.

Hack Slash was a truly a treat to read. It's not too often you find a graphic novel that is just plain fun to read these days. Any fan of slasher films will certainly enjoy the book. The art by Stefano Caselli and Federica Manfredi is very good without trying to go over the top. The book features an excellent pin-up gallery as well.

A scary good time!.......2005-11-03

This anything but PC tribute to the slasher genre is a lot of fun. Crazy situations, psycho killers and intersting heros-- along with terrific art-- makes for a great story. The concept is unique and the bonus interviews and villian bios are a great plus.

Violent, sexy fun for horror-movie fans!.......2005-10-27

Alright, the book description and tagline on the cover "The slasher victim slashes back!" sums it up pretty well, so I'll offer some helpful details if you're still on the fence as to wether this is for you.

First off, the artwork is very high quality. One team illustrated the first story, while another team illustrated the remaining two stories. The style in the first story is dark and sketchy, with a painted look to it. The other two stories share a crisp, animated television show look to them. So both styles are different, but very good. The artists and colorists have really captured the expressiveness of the characters, the proper mood for various scenes, and the right amount of bloody gore.

Not only are the visuals fun, but the writing is good, too. Yes, it's B-movie horror stuff, but it's really good B-movie horror stuff. The origins of the monsters are creative, the dialogue is funny and inventive, and the characters themselves are actually interesting, especially the main character Cassie Hack. She could have easily been a one-note character, but instead has a surprising amount of depth to her. Yes, she can be a kick-ass, sarcastic killing machine, but she also has her moments of doubt, fear, and even embarrassment. She even opens up a couple of times to her friend Vlad about why she does what she does. So these two characters, who I thought would be simple and generic, end up being surprisingly likeable and easy to relate to.

So the artwork and writing are fun, so what about everything else not mentioned? Like what ages could this be for? There is violence and cursing, but no graphic nudity or sex, so it's somewhere between the PG-13 and R-rated areas of entertainment. In other words, it'd be fine for teenagers, but not kids, in my opinion. Then there are the bonus materials. The art gallery and sketches are a nice bonus, plus pictures & info of the play that was performed by the Millennium Theatre Company are pretty cool! On a personal note, I love the fact that on the back are pictures of the main creators of the graphic novel. It's nice to see what these talented people look like. Tim Seeley (creator/writer), Stefano Caselli (co-creator/artist), Sunder Raj (colorist), Federica Manfredi (penciler/colorist), and the rest of the team did a really great job, because I really enjoyed reading this.

A Monumental Study of Rock & Roll! It's Glacial! .......2005-07-15

Grossberger is a force of nature. His comedic gift blurs the lines between fact and fiction, music and mischief. He invents a history of music from the 50s to the present day, leveling the playing field. It's zany, zooey, unglued, and hyperbolic, just like the musicians themselves. It's a book for Elvis fans, Beatlemanias, Little Richardarians, Motownians, Madonna maniacs, Bowie wowies--in other words, all of us with iPods and LPs and old copies of Rolling Stone. It's the music industry unplugged, unzipped, and zapped. I can't imagine anyone else having such a smart perspective. A great read, with photos (and wayward captions) throughout!
