5 out of 5 stars All the Stitches you Need in One Book!.......2005-01-04

I just recently started learning how to crochet on the double with a double-ended crochet hook. I came across this book at my local craft store and purchased it.

Each page is dedicated to just one stitch. Each page has a close up color photo of both the front & back of the sample. Under each photo you are told which size hook was used for the sample. Below this are easily understood instructions for achieving the stitch.

All in all a wonderful reference book.

                  4 out of 5 stars Students! wanna understand this book?.......2005-05-09

                  I was horribly depressed when I chose this book for my English "Book Review". Soon after reading the first page I categorized it to be Stupid, Useless and Crazy altogether! In other words a "Piece of Junk". FORTUNATELY, I had no way to get my mark other than reading it. I read it quickly because I hated it so much. When I reached the end, I had a complete look to the lives of the players (the characters). That "pre-reading" was my key to understand The Double Hook! So, try to follow these steps [IN ORDER]

                  1. Read it fast till the last end; focus on these nasty characters.
                  2. Make sure you know whom the characters are.
                  3. Read the book again with a fairly slow, thorough reading.

                  You'll find how easy it is to get inside the life of these people. My opinion is that "The Double Hook" is one of the best novels EVER! It increased my appreciation toward literature, Canadian Literature, and made me discover a new way to express your feelings. I think that the story is worthy to be turned into a movie. The story is somehow similar to that movie called "The Village" by M. Night Shyamalan

                  1 out of 5 stars The Double Hook - Sheila Watson.......2005-02-21

                  "In spare, allusive prose, Shiela Watson" annoys all readers with her pretentious format and conceited belief that she has an important message to depict through her novel. Ms. Watson attemps to portray universal themes, yet, I, as a reader from urban Canada, find myself unable to relate to the characters, ideas, and symbolism of The Double Hook. I do not believe in a mystical or divine creature called "Coyote", and I'm sure the intended audience (id est, the global community) share similar sentiments.

                  I really appreciate her use of quotation marks, basically, her lack thereof. If I were to not use proper grammer in an essay, I would be severely punished, however, since Ms. Watson does not include quotation marks, she is praised as a hero of modernist literature. Furthermore, she injects her writing with fragmented sentences, another literary crime for which I would be penalized. For instance, "Flesh mountainous contemplating" (page 16). Is this supposed to be impacting in some way, am I obligated to be amazed by such an attempt at profundity? In my opinion, this is merely an unsuccessful sentence. Perhaps Ms. Watson could explain the meaning or significance of this phrase, because without her, this code cannot be deciphered.

                  Not only does Ms. Watson fail to project her intended thoughts, she gives her readers the impression that she is arrogant. She is obviously trying very hard to be controversial and original, but she manages to succeed only in revealing her artifical and spurious personality. Some critics, an extremely small minority, refer to The Double Hook as a masterpiece of magic realism - I think, on the other hand, that it is an incoherent collection of random symbols and themes.

                  3 out of 5 stars Mixed Feelings.......2004-12-16

                  If this book were any longer, it might not be worth the effort required. However, it's brevity makes it possible to give it the two readings it probably requires (or at least, I required).
                  My three star rating reflects my mixed feelings about the book. It is interesting, but I feel its ambiguity wasn't entirely necessary.
                  All the characters in this book are pretty despicable,which I don't necessarily mind, I just wish I knew more about them in the end. The afterword mentions that Watson cut out a lot of the personal history of the characters in the editing process. I think I would've liked it more if she had kept that sort of thing in.
                  Also, an introduction would be particularly helpful, especially one that introduces the reader to the Coyote myth.

                  4 out of 5 stars Hardship and Beauty.......2003-10-10

                  Sheila Watson's selective and allusive prose reveals the lives of a small isolated community in Western Canada where hardship and kindness shape daily existence and make it extraordinary. When reading this classic, one must let the various images flow to get the whole picture---it is truly a unique and refreshing reading experience. The atmosphere created is heavy with emotion--Greta's resentment, Ara's disappointement, the Widow's loneliness, James' struggle for independence, the mysterious death of the the old lady, and the touching birth of a little boy are fused together to create a rawness that is both scary and beautiful. It is a compelling novel that reveals the true force of Canadian talent, and is very much demonstrative of the endless possibities when one moves beyond traditional form

                  5 out of 5 stars An daring experimental novel of failure & redemption........2000-06-14

                  I was dismayed by the negative reviews of Watson's fine experimental novel, The Double Hook (1959). Most of them came from high school students who were required to read a book when they didn't really want to read anything. Clearly some students are being given this book prematurely in Canada.

                  For someone willing to give the book a chance, I have some suggestions. It concerns a frightened group of people living at the edge of civilization, in British Columbian Cariboo country. A former population of Native Canadians has been displaced by settlers like them. Each character is haunted by the spectral presence of Coyote, a trickster figure revered by the former natives. Although Coyote is a symbolic presence, and feared as a curse by the whites, he brings redemption because his continuity means the destruction of native influence isn't complete, or even possible. That relates to the "double hook" of the title--literally a hook that points two ways, so that "you can't catch the glory on a hook and hold on to it. That if you hook twice the glory you hook twice the fear" (61, Kip's thoughts).

                  The book is written largely in dialogue without quotation marks. Modern writers like Joyce and Woolf experimented with varied presentations of fiction in the early 20th century, and Watson is playing with these techniques. Do not be dismayed by them, though. The book is presenting characters deeply fearful of what is happening around them. What they most fear is their ability to control their own existence. When Mrs. Potter dies, she becomes part of that fear (like Mrs. Moore in Forster's A Passage to India, who becomes part of the legends of the caves when she dies). Fire ends the influence of Mrs. Potter, and characters who have been alienated come into a better alignment with each other. Shrewdly, the narrator tells us, "Coyote plotting to catch the glory for himself is fooled and every day fools others" (61). Finally, a new child born is named "Felix" (Latin for "fortunate"). Here Christian redemption in a newborn babe blends with native beliefs, again hooking us doubly.

                  Failure in this book derives from an unwillingness to look at the alien and accept its presence and importance. When characters stop doing that, they create a place for themselves in the most inhospitable locale Watson ever found herself (as a teacher in the early 1930s). The book reflects her mental struggle to reconcile the bleakness of life in the Cariboo with her sense that the remote locales of Canada matter as much as the sophisticated soirees of Montréal and Toronto.

                  Finally, a book by William Faulkner--As I Lay Dying--greatly influenced this book's characters and style. Watson's book makes a good deal more sense if you read Faulkner's book first, or at least get a plot description of it.

                  The life you led before this very moment is a mystery. Your memories are lost and your life is in danger. Who can you trust?

                  Who can you possibly expect to trust you?

                  You are, after all, a rogue… A man without a past, Rileigh takes his name from an enigmatic note he finds on his person. Pursued through the port city of Qeynos by a necromancer and a shadowknight, the charming devil-may-care rogue eludes his mysterious assailants by stealing another's place aboard a ship bound for the pirate-infested Barren Coast. He finds himself embroiled in a quest to retrieve four stolen objects of power that once belonged to an ancient dragon—a quest that may yield the answers to the mystery of his missing past, and may put him in the forefront of a war. Fortunately, one thing Rileigh hasn't lost is his sense of humor.

                  This is the start of the Novelization of the Everquest series, and I, for one, believe it to be up to par with other shared worlds; i.e. Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, and Star Wars. Do no be swayed by the number of pages, or not ever having played Everquest (I didn't know a ting about Everquest till reading this book), or the other reviews here on Amazon.

                  The Rouge's Hour is an easy and fairly quick read. It was enjoyable and simple to pick up attributes of a new world. Ciencin has wonderful characters that are both believable and interesting. I would truly enjoy seeing more from Everquest novels and Scott Ciencin in this world.

                  The Rouge takes his name from a note upon himself. His past a mystery to seemingly himself alone, as those around him try to take advantage of his loss. He knows no one to trust but still finds himself able to spring out of the hard spots he gets into, and with charm. With the scant memories that return to him and the hints he picks up from others he understands that he is caught in a scheme of ending the world, but is unsure of his true orientation. He hopes his past is better than what those tell him. Will he remember himself? Will it help him if he does? Or will it destroy him?

                  If you are a reader in any shared world, pick this up! You will not be disappointed

                  1 out of 5 stars TRIED, MEASURED, FOUND LACKING.......2005-04-26

                  I have been playing pen and paper RPGs for the past 20 years and I have been playing Everquest 1 for the past 5 plus years and I found this book, very disappointing. The biggest issue I had with the book was the main characters. They were just not very interesting for the most part, but even worse they didnt fit the archetypical classes that they were suppose to portray. Like Rileigh the Rogue for example, now I understand that he was a good rogue, but he was too good, to the point where, he is defending a lady from some ruffians and is more concerned about not killing them, than the fact that he is about to be killed by them. And what really bothered me with him and alot of the other characters, was that they didnt have stereotypical weapons for their classes. Kind of hard to get into a character when he is wielding a Chakram like Zena the warrior princess. And the rogue only had his throwing daggers thru most of the book and when he used all those, he always had to resort to hand to hand like he was a monk. And the shadowknights, the combat sequences, with all the twisting and turning, made it sound like they were rogues fighting in light armor, rather than the plate that I expected them to be wearing. Not to mention, it seemed that their weapon of choice where staffs. Really, what type of self respecting rogue isnt going to carry a sword, dagger, or combination? Or self-respecting shadow knight is going to use a chakram?

                  So anyways, the first half of the book was really hard to digest. If not for the EQ label on it, I would have never finished reading the book. But trudged on and it did pick up, as the plot was getting really good. But then at the end of the book, it spirals down again, as the defeat of the Dragon of World's End is rather far fetched and anti-climatic.

                  I expect SOE and RA Salvatore to actually take some time to quality control the next EQ book. I gave it a 1 star, because this book had so much potential, but never lived up to it. BTW SOE, many of us, contrary to the forward in the book, would like to read about the history of norrath and its hereos and villians.

                  1 out of 5 stars Buyer be ware.......2005-02-21

                  I am a big fantasy fan and I follow pretty much what is written and is on the market but this book is an insult to the name Everquest and R.A Salvatore. After the great written intro by R.A Salvatore I fell asleep 10 pages into the story. The story is hard to follow, battle scenes confusing and misses a continuous story flow. My advice go to a bookstore start reading the actually story (not R.A Salvatore's intro) and then decide for yourself. I for myself will keep it as a reminder that a great name as part of the coversheet does not mean a good story.

                  4 out of 5 stars Fun Start to a new Series.......2005-01-11

                  While a little flowery in language the overall story was well done with characters easy to hate - very few to love. For those who play in the Everquest world this is a great addition and will make a great series. Hopefully Bob Salvatore will also write a book or two and bring in some of the other great fantasy writers. Scott Ciencin has done some great work for Wizards of the Coast which I loved but this was just not up to his best work, thus a 4 star.

                  3 out of 5 stars Decent early work.......2003-07-11

                  Being a big fan of Perry's "Matador" series, I recently picked up a used copy of "Hellstar". While I enjoyed reading it, I can't really recommend it all that highly.

                  The book is set on a ship about halfway through a 50+-year journey from earth to Alpha Centauri. The ship is coasting at this point, and weight is provided by a rotating toroid. There are several subcultures specializing in things like working at the hub where there's no gravity, or working outside the ship, but there aren't any radical differences between groups. Most of the first generation crew members are still alive, so the ship still runs reasonably well, and the journey seems to be going pretty smoothly.

                  Then, of course, strange things start happening. There are weird temporary failures of basic laws of physics, escalating from subatomic particle experiments misbehaving, through failures in coriolis effects and eventually, far more serious things. The reasons for these failures are never really satisfactorily explained. There is some pseduo-physics mumbo-jumbo about macroscopic quantum effects and massless singularites, but it contains more than the usual proportion of handwavium[1].

                  The "science fiction" aspects of this story are, as a result, somewhat unsatisfactory. The description of the ship itself is good, but the "universe gone mad" eastern philosophy fusion bits really don't quite work. I've seen similar themes handled far better in many other works.

                  The real strength of the book is when it focuses on martial arts sequences or delves into Zen and the martial arts. There are major subplots involving a serial killer and political intrigue that are really the book's saving graces. Steve Perry has handled both far better in other works, however. You really can't beat his "Matador" series on that score.

                  I think Michael Reaves may be the weak point here. He was also a collaborator on "The Omega Cage", and that book also has some relatively weak science that detracts from the action. It could also be that this book was written fairly early in both authors' careers, and represents a time when they were still forming their respective styles.

                  I'd recommend this one only if you've already ready everything in the "Matador" series and are looking for something else by Steve Perry.

EVERYTHING WILL BE IN "ONE BOOK OF SCRIPTURES".

                    This book is worth your time if you are interested in the missing details of famous biblical stories. Some are similar to the accounts of Josephus and Rabbinic commentaries which reinforces the claim to its origins in Antiquity. There are some numerical inaccuracies that the translator missed noting and a few embelliousments to stories that sound as if they were later additions but on the whole it is a jewel.

                    1 out of 5 stars Reader beware!.......2005-10-08

                    This book is a fabrication. If you want a 19th American updating of the Israelite story, help yourself. Just don't take it seriously.

                    The Book of Jasher, or "The Upright Record" is mentioned in the Old Testament twice (See Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18). Incidentally, "Jasher" is not a person's name but is the Hebrew word for "Upright." Like the Book of Jubilees, the Upright Record is a retelling of the Genesis story from a different person's perspective other than Moses'. It also contains a wealth of detail missing from Moses' abbreviated account. For those who wish to read this book, you should know that there are two books circulating that are entitled "The Book of Jasher." The one that is supposedly a ninth century translation by Flaccus Albinus Alcuinus (the Abbot of Canterbury and the religious tutor of Charlemagne) is an obvious forgery.

                    The books of Joshua and 2 Samuel in the Old Testament mention the Book of Jasher or "Upright Record" as a source of information for two historical events that the Bible covers briefly. These two stories are contained in the thirteenth century translation, but the incident in 2 Samuel is not covered in the ninth century edition at all. Furthermore, the thirteenth century translation appears to have been made from a Hebrew original. Besides the claim that it came from a Hebrew original, the thirteenth century copy of the Book of Jasher has the sound of an authentic historical document written by someone with a Semitic background who actually witnessed some of the recorded events. This thirteenth century edition is far longer than the ninth century edition and contains too many authentic cultural descriptions of Near Eastern and Semitic life to have been invented. Furthermore, none of the more vivid and colorful historical and cultural recollections in the thirteenth century edition that give it such a ring of authenticity appear in the supposedly older manuscript by Alcuinus.

                    Since the Book of Jasher is not considered a religious document but a historical narrative, however, some of its stories may have been embellished or may contain inaccuracies. In addition, the Book of Jasher 's chronology for certain events differs in some cases from the abbreviated Genesis account of this time period in the Bible. I always trust that the Bible is more accurate in these cases. Nevertheless, the Book of Jasher has great value as a history since it offers a wealth of details the Genesis account by Moses lacks. In many cases, it can help us to understand difficult passages or situations recorded too briefly in the Bible. Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to prove whether or not the thirteenth century copy of the Book of Jasher available to us today is a legitimate Bible history or not until a much older manuscript is found. Someday, I hope this will happen. In the meantime, however, I am allowing the Holy Spirit to guide my choices and I believe that there is enough internal evidence in the Book of Jasher to prove that it is authentic.

                    Book Description

                    Virtually ignored since it was discovered, the Book of Jasher holds vital clues to interpreting and understanding Biblical chronology, from the Flood to the Exodus. A mistake made by Archbishop James Ussher, who was unfamiliar with the book of Jasher, led to a 60-year error in placing the birth of Abraham. But this error is corrected in the chronological keys provided by the book of Jasher. And with these keys, an intriguing, and astounding story emerges. The book of Jasher, mentioned in the Biblical books of Joshua and Second Chronicles, was faithfully translated into English from the Rabbinical Hebrew in approximately A.D. 1840. Says the translator's preface, "the ever memorable events and transactions recorded in Scripture are with many others of the most interesting nature, comprehended in the Book of Jasher; and they are all arrayed in that style of simple, unadorned majesty and precision, which so particularly distinguishes the genius of the Hebrew language/ and this, together with other numerous internal evidences, it is presumed will go far to convince the Hebrew scholar that the book is, with the exception of some doubtful parts, a venerable monument of antiquity; and that, notwithstanding some few additions may have been made to it in comparatively modern times, it still retains sufficient to prove it a copy of the book referred to in Joshua, chapter x, and 2 Samuel, chap. i. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.

                    Book Description

                    The authenticity of "The Book of Jasher" is debated by religious scholars. The book is referenced in Second Samuel, which some scholars point to as validation of its authentic origin. The author, Jasher, is supposedly the son of Caleb, a lieutenant of Moses and the book is believed by some to be one of the first books of the bible. "The Book of Jasher" recounts the biblical history from creation up to the time of Jasher. Regardless of its true origin, "The Book of Jasher" makes for interesting consideration amongst the other biblical scriptures.

                    The book reviewed here is the orange paperback some of the other reviewers mentioned.
                    This book comes off quite bizarre in some of the added details to OT Scripture.
                    One example is "Adonizek King of Jerusalem,the same was Shem." (Chapter 16:11). This Adonizek sounds a lot like Melchizedek of Hebrews 7:1-3. The setting is identical,following Abram's victory in Genesis 14. I have heard the theory that this King/High Priest was Shem. The problem with this is that Shem has a genealogy(Gen.6:10) while Melchizedek doesn't(Heb.7:2-3).
                    There is a lot more information in this book regarding Nimrod and his death,the death of Og King of Bashan,the life of Enoch,and the sons of Jacob.
                    This book purports to give more details to the Old Testament,but are these additions fact or fiction? The answer is probably a bit of both with some passages being exaggerations of fact.
                    I am sure that there was indeed a "Book of Jasher" as mentioned in the Bible. Is this it? I am not convinced that this book is the genuine article.

                        The Book of Jasher was a important work that was removed from the Bible, and in this edition translated into english by J. H. Parry. Having been referred to in Joshua and the Second Samuel, The Book of Jasher was suppressed from the old testament from later versions of the Bible. This is an important and highly recommended publication for those who are interested in writings that were once included in earlier incarnations of the Bible, and also those who are scholars of biblical history and studies.
