AWSOME!!!!! Best Book In The World!!!.......2004-04-23

I finished this book in just 2 days! It's the best book in the world! Jammin' On The Avenue: Going To New Orleans is about a kid named Eric who travels from his hometown of Boston, MA to visit New Orleans for the Quickfinger Guitar Contest. He meets two kids, Ben & Lashley, who become his best friends. Along the way, they dicover New Orleans culture. Eric learns about Louis Armstrong, who is one of the greatest musicians in Jazz. And also about a Louisiana native food: the Beignet (ben-yay). I REALLY recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a good story that you can get hooked to!

Cute book.......2001-01-12

We're taking our 4 kids to New Orleans next month. As is my habit, I bought books about the area we're visiting to familiarize them ahead of time. Road trips are so much more fun that way!

Reading the book through the first time, my 10 year old got the jokes right away (ie: a picture of a fairy transporting the little girl's father across the river while the text mentions he takes the "ferry" to work each day), my 6yo got some of them, and my 4yo was completely confused. It is a cute book from an adult point of view, but during the first read-through with a non-native child, next time I would take the time to explain the double meanings of each phrase using the glossary provided in the back of the book.

This book is a good value for anyone who would like to introduce a child to the unique culture of New Orleans. It is not a stand alone book, however. It is a nice complement to the book _New Orleans (Cities of the World)_

Truly the way children see what they read or hear.......1998-12-28

This book is so charming. It is a delight to read and the illustrations are wonderful. The glossery in the back is great for non Louisianians. We are from Louisiana, and we love it!

Terrific!!!!!!! So clever, my kids loved it!!!!!!!!!.......1998-05-17

This book should be on the shelves for years to come!!!! No other book has captured the essence of N'Awlins in such a humorous way!!! The illustrations are wonderful and my children ask me to read it over and over to them! A perfect book for anyone visiting NO or those who just want to capture a bit of the city's charm!! Mary Beth Pisano has hit the jackpot with this!!!!!!

SIMPLY BRILLIANT!!.......1997-04-13

What a fun, witty, and brilliant book for kids! It is also a great gift idea for adults. The author has real creativity! My family loved every page of this book. You go girl... (Review by: A. Henry, Vero Beach, FL

A must read for every child and adult!! Funny!.......1997-04-13

This book is wonderful!! Both grown-ups and kids will laugh themselves silly while experiencing the charm of the crescent city. Weezie Anna is the perfect book for anyone who has visited New Orleans or simply wants to enjoy a fabulously funny book!! I'm not just saying this because my wife is the author of Weezie Anna, I say this because it's true!!!!! Pick one up today and see for yourself!!

Book Description

Going to New Orleans is the story of Lewis King, a jazz trumpet player who lands a gig in the Big Easy. King is a genius on cornet, but his private life is emotionally, morally, and financially bankrupt. He's a heavy drinker and compulsive sexual manipulator, prone to paranoid fits of violent rage. His girlfriend, Ms Sugarlicq, can't keep her pants on. But as equally deviant sexual predators and jealous hypocrites, they're perfect for each other...

Going to New Orleans is a fantastic and graphic first-person narrative that serves as a surreal-but-faithful guide to the music, food, history, and literature of New Orleans. A spiritual book, as well as a dirty one.

Book Description

Long ago, the gods forged Twelve Swords of Power and threw them on the gameboard of life for greedy mortals to scramble over. Too late, the gods learned that they had forged too well; the Swords could kill the gods themselves.Now, ages later, the Swords are back in human hands, as powerful as ever. Vilkata the Dark King returns from exile seeking revenge on those who defeated him. His first goal is the vault in which is enemy Prince Mark has placed the remaining Swords; with these in hand, none can oppose his rule. Only one untested warrior stands in his way: fourteen-year-old Prince Stephen, with Shieldbreaker in hand.

Surprised, not disappointed........2006-05-19

If I hadn't already read this book, I probobly wouldn't after reading all but one of these reviews...then again, that hasn't been all that unusual with the reviews I've seen on Amazon. Almost every review that I've bothered to write has been because I felt the need to counterbalance some very over-the-top reviews; this is definitely a case in point...

Some of the reviewers here claim to have enjoyed the rest of the series which almost made me stop myself from making this statement, but I'll take a chance and make it anyway: If you enjoyed the rest of the series, chances are good that you'll enjoy this book as much or more. The ending was not what I expected but in most of the books that I have enjoyed, the ending was somewhat of a surprise; frankly, I would have been disappointed if Fred HAD done the most obvious thing (whatever that is!).

Is it possible that he wanted to be done with the Swords? Certainly. If that was the reason, I really don't care. It is said that Tchaikovsky's 6th symphony was his way of dealing with his homosexual feelings; when I heard that I gave a little shudder and continued enjoying the music as much as I ever did. Whatever Fred's reason for ending the series the way he did doesn't change the fact that this is a fantastic book by any standard.

As a postscript I should point out that if Fred truly was sick of the world of the swords, explain the recent release of "Ardneh's Sword". This book was truly unnecessary to the series and the questions it answers could have been answered without going to the trouble of adding another 348 pages to the series.

Heavens to Betsy!.......2006-02-24

Don't read the other reviews of this book and walk away thinking that this series is not worth checking out. I wept when this book ended, but mainly because it ended and I read it long after it was published and thus knew that no other books in the series would be forthcoming.

I was a bit disappointed that Saberhagen felt the need to destroy all the swords at the end of the book. I guess he was getting tired of the setting and wanted to slam, not shut the door. I wish that he had left Coinspinner around at the least..... Ah, but life is filled with tragedy.....

If you enjoy fantasy, you simply MUST read this book. The world is incredibly detailed and it really is a crime that there never was a role playing game developed based on the novels.

I won't go as far as to say that these books are better than the LOTR, but they are comparable. That statement, in it self speaks volumes.

Egads!.......2003-05-17

I was all set to write a stinging review of the terrible book that killed this great series- but it would just echo what has already been written. And that ending- good grief Fred, what were you smoking??? So, I am here just to slam this piece of garbage with 1 star.

Do not read this book!!!.......2002-07-02

If you enjoyed the rest of the series, stop and don't read this book. Yes, you will be left wondering what happens to the rest of the swords, who is the Emperor, what happens to Mark and the rest, but live with the curiosity. This book goes beyond anticlimactic, it is just awful. The ending and the explanation of the Emperor is so...I can't even find words for how disappointing it is.
I'm left wondering if Saberhagen didn't outgrow the series and quickly wrote Shieldbreaker's story to bring the series to a close so he could move on to other endeavors. I can not believe that he actually thought that this ending would satisfy his readers.

I can not stress enough how thoroughly disappointing and frustrating the ending of this book is. Saberhagen should personally apologize to everyone who read this book

Unsatisfying ending makes a good book mediocre.......2001-09-21

Most of the book was fine, but the end section was a poor conclusion to the book, and the series. (WARNING! Specific plot details follow!) Just so readers are forewarned, the Emperor is never explained, and he gives a strange quasi-religious statement about himself. Here it is, verbatim: "Some long ago have called me the Sabbath, or the Covenant--Some have called me Wisdom. Some lately have said that I am the Program of Creation."

Has Saberhagen found Christianity, and he's trying to inject it into his fiction? What the heck is he trying to get at, here? Beats me, and the book left me scratching my head and wondering what happened to this gifted writer.

Book Description

"Immensely witty....thoroughly entertaining."-The Washington Post Book WorldPaul Trilby is having a bad day. If he were to be honest with himself, Paul Trilby would have to admit that he's having a bad life. His wife left him. Three subsequent girlfriends left him. He's fallen from a top-notch university teaching job, to a textbook publisher, to, eventually, working as a temp writer for the Texas Department of General Services. And even here, in this land of carpeted partitions and cheap lighting fixtures, Paul cannot escape the curse his life has become. For it is not until he begins a tentative romance with the office's sassy mail girl that he begins to notice things are truly wrong. Strange sounds come from the air conditioning vents, the ceiling bulges, a body disappears. Mysterious men lurk about town, wearing thick glasses and pocket protectors....Kings of Infinite Space is a hilarious and horrifying spoof on our everyday lives and gives true voice to the old adage, "Work is Hell."

Cubicle zombies meet whining academic loser........2007-01-09

I really have no idea what book the other reviewers read. I should have put this book away at the very beginning, but I just kept chugging along hoping that a clever twist or maybe a little character growth on the protagonist. Nope. Ultimately, I was left hollow like the caverns the zombies worked in.

Paul Trilby is an academic loser who couldn't complete his book, cheated on his wife and lover, and then kills a cat. I am supposed to sympathize with this guy? He actually gets into another relationship that seems to be based solely on sex, and all he can do is whine about his life and deny everything bad as a dream. On top of this screwed up protagonist, you are faced with a lack of suspense (unless you are as dimwitted as Paul Trilby), and a complete lack of any sense of real or imaginary action that could possibly happen. A barbecue grill going into water is supposed to make some kind of tidal wave and steam up a cavern holding 37 people... please!

I wasted 12 hours 10 minutes and 13 seconds of my life listening to this awful Recorded Books venture. Don't make the same mistake!

A fantastic read.......2006-07-09

This book perfectly captures the eccentricities of both Texas and academia. Anyone who's ever experienced either universe will LOVE this book. I also commend the author on the unpredictability of the plot --- I never could have guessed how it ended. It's the best book I've read in sometime. Highly recommended!

Lots of fun.......2005-07-07

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It's scary, but the descriptions of the work environment and co-workers hits pretty close to home, sorta like the movie "Office Space." I love his writing, which is quirky and intelligent. For instance, he throws out tough words that 1% of the readers would know, but it doesn't matter because it seems to be for the effect of the unintelligible word and pronunciation more than the meaning. Anyways, it gets sorta spooky and almost sci-fi and towards the end a little over the top, but what the hell. I definitely recommend the book, especially if you work in a cubeland setting or a big company. But I'm sure anyone who enjoys funky, modern and intelligent literature would love it...

Are we not men? . . . Apparently not........2005-05-14

How many of us sit in our cubicle or at our desk wondering what has happened to our lives? How have we been imprisoned so? Have we made it come to pass ourselves?

I believe this was written by such a man wondering these types of things, and he thought: what would make this more interesting? How can I keep from running away while screaming and tearing at my hair? This novel was given birth by those ideas. It is good but at most it seems like a daydream.

I hope Hynes made it out of his cubicle, as for the rest of us we must make our own dreams; read this book and get some good ideas.

Humor meets the macabre........2005-03-12

Think Mike Judge's "Office Space" as being re-written by Stephen King, paying homage to "Night of the Living Dead." Throw in some H.G. Wells (the author frequently alludes to "The Island of Dr. Moreau," and the relationship between the Eloi and Mordocks in the "Time Machine") and add some steamy love scenes, and you can get an approximation of James Hyne's off-the-wall "Kings of a Infinite Space."

Paul Trilby, a failed professor with a troubling past (especially with women and a cat named Charlotte) finds himself as a temp at the Texas Department of General Services, with some of the wackiest co-workers you will ever meet. Along the way, he finds a fiery lover in Callie, the mail room girl. Almost right from the start, Paul notices that things are not quite what they seem. Paul attempts to distance himself from his unsettling surroundings, but gets increasingly drawn into it, especially by the bogus "Colonel" who, at one point, forces Paul to paticipate in a surrealistic Karaoke contest.

I felt that the author's frequent use of allegory was sometimes heavy handed, and the last portion of the book seemed too far over the top, as if Hynes were trying to convert a generally humorous novel into horror. However, Hynes is a fine writer who has created something truly unique (although Stephen King and Clive Barker, to name two, could probably have written a similar book). Therefore, I recommend "Kings of the Infinite Space," and suggest you hold on tightly for the ride.

Book Description

Welcome to Heaven. Here's a mop.

It's not that simple, of course. First you have to die. Grunge rock, bad acid, and an eighteen-wheeler will do that. Then you have to survive. Not too complicated, toward the century's end, for a neglected rich kid with guilt-ridden parents and cryogenics. Then there's the resurrection. That's more complex, involving runaway nanotechnology, a neutral interface in the brain, an asteroid named for Jerry Garcia, and a castle that needs cleaning. Hence, the mop.

Death for William Alec Tucker III is a gateway to the future, and a second chance to accomplish what he's left undone: which is just about everything. Life after death is almost pleasant. Until Alec finds out that he's a pawn in a systemwide struggle for power and embarks on an odyssey of discovery that takes him from the far reaches of the asteroid belt to the fleshpots of Clarke County, Space. And even father, to the beckoning stars.

Customer Reviews:

Eh. . . .......2007-08-08

This book started as a fun look into the world of entitle-brats who wind up in the future. I thought the author's grasp of youth in the 90's was funny and insightful. Once everyone wakes up, this novel takes a definite turn for the dull and diluted. It never felt like there was much of a point to Alec's cause since he was as nasty and unlikable as everyone else around him. I kept reading because I thought there might be something to the story only to find out that no, there really wasn't, except that if you're going to make it in this particular universe you have to have extremely long toes.

Mediocre Near-Space Story.......2005-10-24

To quote another reviewer, who gave the book five stars:

"This is not a great piece of literature, and if it were in a different genre, I wouldn't have given it five stars."

Amen. This is not great literature. Call it like it is, regardless of the genre: paper-thin speculative fiction about near-space exploration set about a hundred years from now. The nanites and cryogenic storage are rather standard. The history lessons are uniformly pessimistic, but may match your world view.

On the flip side, I appreciated the homo-superior race and their dialogue. I also found the near-space setting to be intriguing. The story was just engaging enough to keep me turning the pages, although the subject matter was occasionally dry enough to make me skim past certain pieces.

All in all, an OK read, but there are certainly better SF books out there to read.

The best novel in the Near Space series.......2004-06-26

A King of Infinite Space is the culminating work in Allen Steele's Near Space series, which began with Orbital Decay in the late 80's and concluded with this novel roughly ten years later. Although the name of Steele's universe is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Larry Niven's Known Space series, I personally find Steele's work to be much more compelling than Niven's. Whereas Niven's characters will traverse hundreds of light years with the flip of a single switch, Steele's Near Space series is perhaps the most satisfying attempt by a contemporary sci-fi author to envision a realistic history of humanity's expansion throughout the solar system over the next few decades. Steele never forgets that people, no matter where they are and what level of technology they have at their disposal, will always be people. A King of Infinite Space is basically an overview of this universe from the perspective of a Gen Xer revived on the cusp of the twenty-second century after his death in 1995. As such it's probably a good place to start for anyone new to Allen Steele. The beginning of the novel, which depicts Alec's death and subsequent rebirth on the asteroid colony of Mr. Chicago, is particularly well-written and engaging. I would go ahead and agree with other reviewers by saying the ending is a little too pat, but it hardly destroys the overall story. Highly recommended.

An engaging read!.......2004-04-18

A King of Infinite Space is a strong book. It is well written and grabs you from the very first page. And, while they say every story has been told, this one managed to put some unique twists on the "what if science could allow is to live again" story.

WARNING: This paragraphy gives clues about the ending! The ending was a bit too tidy. Alec's world had been getting worse and worse and then, in one fell swoop, he entire life comes together (anyone have a magic wand?). But, that didn't really bother me. The reality is that by that point in the book, I wanted things to go right for Alec. I liked Alec and I wanted things to work out for him. And, really, so what if the ending is a little forced. I read this book for fun and it was fun. I have no problem at all with everyone living happily ever after in a light scifi novel!

This book was a fun story that I enjoyed immensely. As long as you don't read this book looking for something deeply intellectual (and you enjoy science fiction) you'll enjoy it too.

Great book ... until the end........2002-08-29

I thought this book was great and it kept me up late into the night reading. However, the ending was illogical and stupid. I would have given the book 5 stars if the ending was anywhere near as good as the rest.

The Unknown Teachings of Lao Tzu.......2007-05-29

This is the one of the best books I ever bought. No problem to get this Valuable from AMAZON so far. From the "PERSONAL NEED" point of view for me its absolut unbeatable.

Empty words and contradictions........2006-04-19

If you wish (desire) to follow the Tao then rid yourself of desire.
If you wish to see the Great Oneness then rid yourself of your self.
Division is contrary to the nature of the Tao so rid yourself of the concept of separation, such as life and death, male and female, etc.
By following the Tao you will gain immortality.
My teachings are simple.

Indeed! So we have:
If you desire something then dont desire it.
If you want to see something that can't be seen then stop looking.
The Tao is everything, but division is illusion (which, somehow, is outside Tao) so rid yourself of the concept of death and you will live for ever.

Such waste... For those who are not yet used to think for themselves, stick to the Tao Te King or you might get lost.

Hua Hu Ching: The unknown Teachings of Lao-Tzu.......2005-08-14

This book is a "MUST" for every "True Human Being", along with the works of Lao-Tzu, Chuang-Tzu, Lieh-Tzu and Wen-Tzu (and, of course, the I-Ging). Forget all "Bibles", "Korans" and all of the so-called "holy books" and scriptures. The objective of mankind should be to develop a "cosmic consciousness", and not to blindly follow some deranged and deluded dogmas and beliefs, the results of which can be seen all over the world: crime, terrorism, torture, exploitation, legalized slavery, mass poverty, suffering, etc.: HELL on Earth.

essential reading.......2005-02-02

There is a multitude of books in the world, but I would gladly skip them all for this magnificent title.

If you love the subtler realms of life this is one essential book, together with of course the Tao Te King and some works by Tagore, Gibran and Rumi.

If it's a forgery it explains a lot.......2004-09-20

I was really excited when I found this book in late 1999, since I loved the Tao Te Ching and Lao-Tzu's simple, beautiful, timeless wisdom. Finding this slim volume of his allegedly long-suppressed additional sayings was like the icing on the cake for me in my love of Taoist philosophy. And the first chapters are really nice, with the types of sentiments you expect from the master, like "To embrace all things means first that one holds no anger or resistance toward any idea or thing, living or dead, formed or formless," "If your willingness to give blessings is limited, so also is your ability to receive them," and (my fave) "The ego is a monkey catapulting through the jungle." As another reviewer pointed out but which I didn't realise at the time, it sure sounds like Lao-Tzu, but it's a bit wordier than most of what he expressed in the Tao Te Ching. Still, it sounds like his voice regardless of how wordy it is. Later on it really gets into things like medicine, the names of ancient masters, angelic intercourse, science, the kinds of stuff that didn't appear at all in the Tao Te Ching. It just wasn't as poetic, though I found the insights into ancient Chinese philosophy and science fascinating. I also don't like how the text is arranged in this edition. My edition of the Tao Te Ching is the only Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English one, where it's arranged like a beautiful freeverse poem. In the Walker edition of the Hua Hu Ching, every line of text is arranged like a line in a book. It doesn't seem nearly as poetic; would it have hurt to break some of the lines up mid-sentence like Feng and English did?

Finding out this book is in all likelihood a forgery which was originally designed to create bad blood between both Buddhists and Taoists actually explains a lot. I probably still would have bought it if I had known, but I wouldn't have been as likely to. Whoever wrote it, there are some great, beautiful, lovely, poetic insights, but I'll always turn to the Tao Te Ching first when I want some Taoist inspiration.

Book Description

Lao Tzu, the legendary author of the Tao Te Ching , is also credited with the authorship of the Hua Hu Ching , which embodies some of his later teachings. During a time of political turmoil in the fourteenth century, all copies of this work were banned and ordered to be burned. Thus, few if any complete and accurate manuscripts exist today. Fortunately, the complete teachings of the Hua Hu Ching have been preserved through the oral transmission of generation after generation of Taoist masters to their disciples. In this book, Master Ni, heir to that orally transmitted wisdom, offers a superlative rendering of this reassured teaching.
