Book Description
The Angel with One Hundred Wings recreates the magical world of ninth-century Baghdad-then known as the City of Peace. Abulhassan is an elderly pharmacist and respected alchemist, whose honesty has won him the sultan's friendship. When his protg falls in love with the sultan's mistress, Abulhassan must choose between betraying his oldest friend and betraying a beloved one. He balances as long as he can, but rumor and gossip spread, and he must help the lovers make a climactic escape. With rich imagery drawn from alchemy, the Koran, and the early Islamic mystics, this is a literary gem that captures all the magic and romance of the ancient world.

A beautiful read........2004-01-09
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading for reading's sake, and not as a means to an end. The writing flows smoothly, and completely captivates as it weaves a tapestry one can almost see. It does not nitpick details to death, teach any lessons, nor draw any conclusions. The beauty is all in the moment.
A great tale.......2004-01-08
In the ninth century in the City of Peace (Baghdad for ye unfaithful) elderly alchemist Abulhassan is confronted with a dilemma. A confidant of his chess partner and best friend the Sultan, Abulhassan has been asked by the Prince of Persia, who he mentored like a son, to aid young love. The Prince and the sultan's favorite mistress, the independent Shemselnehar, have fallen in love. They know that if they are to share happiness they must flee to the Western Kingdoms of the vast empire. Only the alchemist has a chance to get them out of town, but he would have to risk his life and betray his friend.
Abulhassan believes they ask too much of him as he knows that the chances of success are nil with so many informers lining the city. Still he reflects on his own life and knows he has not treated his own family with the love and nurturing people deserve. Because of his guilt at his own failures, Abulhassan decides to assist the young lovers in their attempt to find happiness together.
This is a great tale filled with a very exciting but rocky path towards freedom as the plan does not implement smoothly. The prime trio is unique individuals each facing remorse yet embracing love. Insight into early Islam and Dark Ages alchemy adds a deep historical base to the tale to include how much light existed in the so called Dark Ages in the Persian Empire. Readers will appreciate this strong historical tale of star-crossed lovers risking all for love.

Valiant and Commendable Effort.......2003-04-24
This book is not well written but the story is good but its borrowed isn't it? I find myself wanting to find out how it ends as opposed to enjoying the moment. A story from Arabian Nights cries out for the jewelled words, dancing elephants, and bursting bombastic speeches. It is nonetheless a valiant effort by someone not from that region and maybe his rendition is perfect for the western reader who perfers sparse words, less speeches, less ceremony, and more story and intrigue. Dont get me wrong its an enjoyable read for its simple language for the subway, beach, plane, or a dentist's waiting room. I was disappointed because i expected so much more.
Stunning and Evocative.......2003-03-01
This is the most satisfying book I've read all year. The descriptions are lush, the relationships complex, and the characters both sympathetic and believable. It truly transported me to another time and place. I want to thrust this book into the hands of all my friends.
If you're the kind of person who "doesn't have time to read," pick this one up over the summer, skip the dull TV reruns, and let yourself be awash in the beauty of this book. The rest of us will have already read it.
A true new talent...........2003-01-29
I really love this book. It is amazing how Horch gets inside the head of his protagonist- so convincing and moving. The love story and the fascinating historical context really make this a gem. I highly reccomend this book. I also think it would make a great movie...
Book Description
"Superman-dead!"--The Daily Planet. On November 18, 1992, news of Superman's death shocked the world as the legendary Man of steel was killed defending Metropolis from the monster called Doomsday. Here at last is the dramatic story behind the best-selling comic book of all time: the fates of Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Ma and Pa Kent, the Justice League, and the reign of the four super-beings who mysteriously appeared after Superman's funeral, each claiming to be the real Last Son of Krypton. And finally, here is the complete incredible story of Superman's triumphant retum! In this thrilling novel, Roger Stern, a veteran writer of Action Comics, chronicles the most amazing comeback in comic book history--told with more gripping detail and background than ever before.

Super Reader.......2007-08-06
Stern produced quite a good novel out of all the hoo-hah surrounding this DC comics publicity stunt.
He takes the whole saga from the comics, and retells the story of Doomsday arriving and plowing through first the Justice League, then Superman.
Then you see how the world reacts to the death of their premier hero, and what happens when multiple other 'supermen' try and replace him.
Excellent novel on an epic comic book series! .......2007-07-17
For those of you who don't know the plot, here's a basic summary:
Kal-El was the Last Son of Krypton, an unknown planet that exploded sending bits and pieces crashing down to Earth. Along with rocks, Jor-El and Lara (from Krypton) sent down their newborn son in a spaceship, so he would be saved. The rocks and the spaceship landed in the country town of Smallville. Jonathan and Martha Kent had been driving home that day where the meteors hit, and they found the young boy that was in the spaceship. The Kents took him as their own, naming him Clark. Soon, Jon and Martha figured out Clark's strange abilities. Clark showed amazing strength even as a child. Overtime, his powers evolved.
Even with these powers, Clark grew up as a normal kid. He attended school (Smallville High) and even fell in love (with Lana Lang). After schooling, Clark became a reporter- and even developed super strength, speed, hearing, heat vision, x-ray vision, and the ability to fly. Then it happened. Clark took on the double life of Superman. Too bad that his double life did not last long. Superman died on November 18th, 1992 from severe injuries after defeating the horrible monster Doomsday, saving the world. Without Superman, what will happen to Earth? There's only one way to find out...
It was an excellent book for people of all ages! I read it when I was twelve, and it was a great read then, so I recommend it to everyone!
The worst book I've ever read.......2007-05-10
Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's my copy of "The Death and Life of Superman" flying out the window!
Holy jumpin' jeez! Sum of youz guys might be wonderin', "Hey! What's wit da one-starred review ya got goin' dere, pal?! Aintcha got no respect for Sooperman?!" Please! I love Superman! Quite possibly the greatest comic book superhero ever created! However, Roger Stern's "The Death and Life of Superman" is 528-pages of mind-numbingly, amateurish dreck! It took me roughly four months of forcing myself not to quit on this book because 1) It's Superman, 2) I don't give up on books, no matter how bad they are, and 3) How can so many five-starred reviews for this book be wrong?! The answer to number 3: I don't know, but geez Louise, are they ever! Now, don't get me wrong, love! Superman, himself, was actually a rather enjoyable character! Every other character, however, was laughable! Horseapples, you say?! I really wanted to enjoy the book, but I couldn't force myself to, onaaccount of da fact dat it stank!
The first thing wrong with this book: dialogue. Bad, bad, bad. It is so woefully insipid, juvenile, and groan-inducing. Here's an example: the common phrase is "like throwing gas onto the fire." Roger Stern, in an attempt to be different, perhaps witty, writes: "...like dumping white phosphorus into pure oxygen; like throwing elemental cesium onto troubled waters." I applaud him for not using the common phrase, but, come on. Was he looking at a periodic table while he was writing? On top of that, he doesn't give one example: he throws us two. Thanks, Roger. I wasn't sure just how bad the situation was, but comparing it to throwing elemental cesium onto troubled waters...yep, that's bad alright. *groan*
More eye-rolling moments include any bit of dialogue that indicates accents, such as a New York accent or Australian accent. The use of contractions and the replacement of "z" for "s" got annoying real quick. Ma and Pa Kent are stuck in the `50s, as evidenced by their speech. Lots of "Dagnabits" and "Heaven's sakes." Yes, I know. They're older, salt-o-the-earth folk, but still, that doesn't explain the younger Newsboy Legion or the so-called petty criminals' chit-chat. "Shucks, that'll be easy, fellers" "Oh, man, he's Jack Webbin' us" "Soicumstances" "Holy jeez" and "Holy smokes" abound. I especially love how the "gangsters" have names that fit a physical attribute, article of clothing, or hobby. A guy with a crewcut hairstyle is called "Crew," a guy who wears sunglasses is named "Specs," and a guy who uses a camcorder is cleverly referred to as "Frames." This was written in the early `90s, right? I kept thinking the Sharks and the Jets were about to show up and start some big song-and-dance number. Oh, wait! A gang named the Sharks do show up, with their trusty Toastmasters! Toastmasters. God-awful name for a gun. I felt like they should've packed Parkay and Smuckers, not live rounds. I can only assume that Roger Stern is as old as Ma and Pa Kent and, unfortunately for this 30-something, the dialogue suffers from its considerably dated delivery.
Superboy ("Don't call me SuperBOY!") has some pretty bad dialogue, in Stern's attempt to make him hip, modern, and cool. "Hey, don't worry about me, man. I am primed!" "...they're gonna make sure I'm always lookin' fine!" He's hip, modern, and cool, alright...for 1955. But, if the "stylin'" leather jacket fits, right? Superboy also gets the lame lines. "Gotta fly!" "Need a lift?" *wince*
The most painful dialogue exchanges are between Lex Luthor II (Lex's son, but it's really the original Lex, who got kryptonite poisoning, staged his own death in a plane crash over the Andes by using a clone, and was provided with a new, younger, stronger body--with a full head of hair--with the help of genetic engineering...uh, what?!) and Supergirl. Um, is Supergirl as ditzy and "blonde" in the comics as she is here? I regretted any paragraph that began with "Lex," "Luthor," "Supergirl," or "The Girl of Steel" because I knew I was in for Lex using the pet-name "Love" every other sentence or Supergirl acting like a coquettish little schoolgirl dating the most dreamy boy at Metropolis High. *ugh*
But, the single most annoying aspect of Stern's writing style is his excessive overuse of exclamation marks. I realize perfectly well that comics use exclamation marks at the end of nearly every sentence, but at least comic books have a reasonable explanation (comic book fans should know why). I know this is a comic book adaptation, but the exclamation marks were irritating, especially when the scene was supposed to be a quiet, tender moment. Exclamation marks indicate raised voices. Doesn't work when Jimmy consoles Lois: "It'll be ok, Ms. Lane...er, Lois!" "I sure hope so, Jim!" I envisioned them talking over the sound of a landing helicopter, not quietly to themselves. The exclamation points made me visualize too many similar shouting-match scenarios, where none were warranted. It's not good to distract the reader with something as trivial as punctuation.
Well, what about the story, you ask. Nothing special. Other reviews laud the great action scenes. Nothing special. They remark on the fast-pace. They must've skipped through the yawn-inducing second act (funeral and reaction). The story also left me with far too many questions.
As I mentioned earlier, the character of Superman was ok. Lois wasn't too bad, wallowing in her grief. But, man, everyone else was indeed truly laughable. I connected with no one. Also, not a good thing for the reader to feel.
Ultimately, "The Death and Life of Superman" is a great big chunk of kryptonite on my bookshelf, one that I will avoid in the future at all costs, something I recommend others to do, as well. I'm not judging this book on its subject matter. The story was there and I'm sure it was supposed to be exciting, emotional, and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the dialogue is powerful bad and distracts. If you thought the very first paragraph of this review was poorly written or distracting, you have a pretty good idea how this book reads. If that's right up your alley, enjoy. Otherwise, move on. Sorry, Bibbo...this book definitely ain't my "fav'rit!"

Great story, but not without flaws........2006-11-30
This is the first comic book novel I have read, and I was not disappointed. Roger Stern does a great job of bringing certain aspects of the epic story to life. His descriptions of the epic battle between Superman and Doomsday are even more vivid than the comics themselves.
On the downside, there are times when the dialog comes across as awkward and stilted, to the point that it becomes a distraction. His portrayal of Luthor and his girlfriend Supergirl is almost painful; thankfully it a minor part of the overall story. That part reads more like a daytime soap.
All in all, this is a fun read that is highly recommended to any fan of Superman!
an incredable comic novelization.......2006-09-21
I've read alot of novels based on comics, movies ,and comic characters, but this takes the cake. the imagery that Stern uses in Section 1 during the battle between Doomsday & Supes is breath-taking. I felt like i had front row tickets to the biggest show on earth. i'll admit that after the death of Superman, the actions slows but is still obviously present.
hands down this is a must-have for any fan of Superman, or anyone who likes a gripping & emotional tale
PARTY ON, DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Book Description
It is the most powerful technology known to humanity, microscopically small, allowing its user to control and change other's moods and emotions, and even to reprogram his or her own genetic structure. Its potential as the ultimate weapon or an instrument of peace has led to its ban by the Commonwealth.
Someone has stolen this outlaw technology, the Bohr Maker, from the secret files of the Commonwealth Police, at the command of a man with a genetic time bomb coded into his DNA. Nikko Jiang-Tibayan has only weeks to live, and he will do anything to stay only weeks to live, and he will do anything to stay alive, even if it means the end of life as we know it.
But then the Bohr Maker falls into the hands of a beautiful young woman in the poverty-stricken slums of Sunda. Its technology will make her both fugitive and messiah. The object of frantic searches by a walking dead man and a high-tech police force, the Maker holds the key to the total destruction of humanity -- or its miraculous rebirth....

Simply Amazing........2004-03-30
My favorite authors include Larry Niven, Neal Stephenson, and Linda Nagata. Actually, the last few books by Neal (and I have autographed copies) have been a distinct disappointments.
But in all the mass-market books that I have been able to locate, Linda Nagata has consistently written excellent work. This is the second in the Nanotech series (w/Tech Heaven, Deception Well, and Vast), and perhaps the best.
The thrust of the book centers on the attempt to access the Bohr Maker, a "maker" that can alter the (human) host's physiology at a cellular level, and more. The technological evolution is handled very well, and some ramifications of such a technology are presented as facets of the narrative. The social situation she presents is not as well framed, but that deficiency does little to reduce the joy in reading this book.
The last 3 books of this series would certainly make it on my list of top 50, proably top 25 books.
Find it, buy it and read it.
Imaginative, sophisticated speculation + charming heroine.......2001-01-07
It's too bad this novel is currently out of print, since it packages intricate and imaginative speculation about nanotechnology and its impacts on humanity with lively action, exotic local color, a social conscience *and* a charming heroine with an unbeatable combination of vulnerability and clout. Phousita is an impoverished and uneducated but gentle, clever and (by the way) "beautifully proportioned" ex-prostitute who stands less than four feet tall. Accidentally infected with the "Bohr maker," a new and awesomely powerful nanotechnological device, she acquires magical, superhuman powers of life and death. Her adventures take her from the slums of an unnamed city (apparently in Java or Malaya) to artificial habitats in outer space and back again, more or less. Along the way Nagata details a vivid series of technological wonders, from trees (and humans) genetically engineered to flourish in the near-vacuum of space, to organic self-sustaining space habitats that disperse through spores (call them spaceships). Nor does she neglect the political dynamics and cultural shifts that result from such technological developments. Significant weaknesses include rather flat rendering of most characters and occasional lags in the plot's pacing. Nagata's next two books (Tech Heaven and Deception Well) do not live up to the promise of this one, in my view, but I look forward to checking out Vast and Limit of Vision.
I enjoyed The Bohr Maker until the last quarter........1998-07-07
The Bohr Maker was an interesting book. The technology and main characters Ms. Nagata describes are very thoughtful and well rounded. Although the mode of transportation reminded me of a story by Piers Anthony, I still enjoyed her description. I liked Phousita and Nikko. I thought she made Arif inconsistent but this only made him seem more real. However, Sandor was a bore. Maybe I had just been sitting in one place too long, I was very much enthralled by the story, but 3/4 of the way into the book I started getting restless and then bored. The author appears to just want the story to end. She did tie-up most of the loose ends but by then I didn't care.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Buddhism isn't just for baby boomers anymore. As the spiritual marketplace continues to broaden in North America, Buddhism is emerging as a popular religious alternative among the young. Sumi Loundon, a practicing Buddhist and graduate student at Harvard Divinity School, has gathered a group of Generation X-ers and even younger Generation Y-ers around a virtual campfire to swap stories about what it means to be Buddhist. These are more than just your average tales of pious conversion or blissful living. Loundon's cadres find the relevance of Buddhism atop a sheer cliff face; in the throbbing heart of New York City; strung out on crack; in relationships good and bad; in tragic accidents; and in social activism. Some are monks, others punks; some meditate, others chant; some teach the dharma, others just live it. In this group, Buddhism is neither exotic nor a panacea. For many, it is a feeling of coming home and a proven method of coping while remaining open to the vicissitudes of life. Anyone who has felt the pull of Buddhism--the compelling arguments of its philosophy or the quiet expansiveness of it practices--will quickly identify with the personal experiences in this collection. Like Douglas Coupland's Generation X, Blue Jean Buddha could well become a book that defines and binds a group growing in self-awareness. --Brian Bruya
Book Description
In an age when the Dalai Lama's image has been used to sell computers, rock stars have used tantra to enhance their image, and for many, Nirvana calls to mind a favorite band, what can Buddhism mean to twenty-somethings? Blue Jean Buddha offers real stories about young Buddhists in their own words that affirm and inform the young adult Buddhist experience. This one-of-a-kind book was named a finalist in the 2002 Independent Publisher Book Awards (Multicultural Non-Fiction—Young Adult) as well in NAPRA's Nautilus Awards. It is about the experiences of young people in America — from their late teens to early thirties — who have embraced Buddhism. Thirty-three first-person narratives reflect on a broad range of life-stories, lessons, and livelihood issues, such as growing up in a Zen center, struggling with relationships, caring for the dying, and using marathon running as meditation. Throughout, up-and-coming author Sumi Loundon provides an illuminating context for the tremendous variety of experiences shared in the book. Blue Jean Buddha sheds light on the practices and experiences of young people striving to bring Buddhism into their lives.

A Pleasant Read.......2007-07-16
Sumi Loundon put together, from a number of contributors, fascinating looks at Buddhism. I found it a very pleasant read. -Ann
Buddhism for the next gen Yuppie.......2005-01-05
While some of the stories in this collection may be inspiring it points out several things.
Aspiring yuppies have lost the core of Buddha's teachings.
The author feels that if you are not college educated or a monk/child of monks/hippies that you have nothing to offer and your views don't count.
This book presents an unrealistic view of Buddhists with its failure to present a realistic cross section of peoples.
I could easily go out and collect stories of "new agers" uneducated or not and their thoughts on Buddhism and it would most likely drip with the same inaccuracies of what Buddhism means as this book. I understand that "Buddhism means different things to different people". What the author does not understand is "DIFFERENT PEOPLE" and "BUDDHISM". All the people who contributed are little clones of one another in sooo many aspects and no matter what you *think* Buddhism means - THERE IS A COMMON GROUND among ALL Buddhist - which many of the contributors do NOT share. Thus I would NOT even consider them Buddhists at all. Just yuppies into "new age" bunk.
If you get into new age psycobabble and mommy and daddy have a lot of money, or you were raised around monks and get into new age psycobabble you will probably enjoy this collection.
Honesty From Spiritual Peers.......2004-05-04
This book is a good read for people overwhelmed by religious texts written by spiritual teachers. It is always nice to read what peers and contemporaries have to say on a subject like religion. This is not a book to pick up and read if you want to learn the fundamentals of Buddhist philosophy, but it is a wonderfully reassuring book for those looking for a sort of real time guide to how Buddhism fits into everyday life.
The contributors to this book were beautifully honest and allowed the readers into very intimate parts of their lives. That honesty is what keeps the reader involved in the book and steers these essays away from a Chicken Soup For the Soul sort of feel.
Awesome.......2003-11-05
Nice to read a book of stories by young Buddhists on the path, and be able to relate.
A Book Whose Time Has Come.......2002-06-19
As a young, serious Buddhist, I always wondered if there were others who shared my lifestyle and worldview. To my delight, I found that I am not alone. For me personally, "Blue Jean Buddha" is definitely a book whose time has come.
The book is down-to-earth and sincere, full of honest essays about how young people are implementing the Dharma into their lives, personal, public, and professional. It certainly is not New Agey, "too far out", cliche, or irrelevant. (I was anxious about the possibility of BJB being so, but it did not disappoint me!)The book explores the interchanges between Buddhism, Generation X and Y, and American pop culture, among other topics. It has no agenda except to portray Buddhism as it plays itself out, right now.
In many ways, I feel like BJB is a historical snapshot of some of the people who will be among the most influential shapers of Buddhism in the West in the near future. I was happy for this warning!
I definitely appreciated the vast diversity of Buddhist traditions and expressions represented in BJB. As an introduction, the book provides teases and initial glances into Buddhism, and does not purport to be a definitive statement by examining details. There are gaps, because there are still issues in modern Buddhism yet to be debated and/or resolved. But that is the point of BJB, it keeps you thinking, wondering, critically inquiring. I learned a lot from this book and totally recommend it to anyone interested in young people, and the future of Buddhism in the West.
The deep, thoughtful, and important reflections and rhetorical questions offered in THE CONCLUSION is WORTH THE WHOLE PRICE OF THE BOOK ALONE. Editor Sumi Loundon does not pretend to know all the answers, and after reading all these possibilities, I realized I didn't predict the future either! These are fast, exciting times we live in right now, and this is a perfect book to have along for the ride.
