The conclusion is here........2006-08-24

Yu Watase, Fushigi Yugi: Bride (Viz, 1996)

Here, at last, Yu Watase wraps up Fushigi Yugi, and in the final volume, some fo the spark returns. Not all of it, mind you, but some. Everything is resolved, and while the storyline continues on, it keeps plodding as it has been for the past few volumes (though Watase does love her fight scenes, and the big climactic battle is a good deal of fun). It is, however, the epilogue that rises up to the standards set in most of the first thirteen volumes of the series-- Watase's great affection for the characters returns as she bids them goodbye for the final time, and it comes out in the quality of the work. It's worth getting through "Part 2" of FY for. ***

Wonderful volume!.......2006-05-10

This is a wonderful finale. It has romance, emotion and is so touching. Miaka sees Tamahome again. Tamahome had come back to her world as Taka. They had a wonderful relationship when he was Tamahome and when he came back as Taka, they were able to be together again. When both Tamahome and Taka appear, Miaka has to make a choice between them. Taka is really Tamahome and has Tamahome's spirit and love inside. Miaka and Tamahome and Taka have so many romantic, touching scenes. Their scenes are so loving and filled with passion and romance, especially the love scene when they are in bed together. This volume is so special and is truly an amazing conclusion to a wonderful series.

the long-awaited finale.......2006-04-22

i could hardly believe that the "end" was here. this is the final yu watase installment of fushigi yugi. though, if u are looking for more of the life after volume 18, check out fushigi yugi ova and FY Eikoden.
anyway, this final volume is worthwhile and yet seems oh too brief. the action and adventure, nevertheless, does not disappoint. i was just left with the feeling that more should have happened...that it were to continue. but all in all it was truly worth the read, as with the other FY mangas and yu watase works in general.

I love this book!!!! It is so much fun. When my friends come over to play we always look at it. Then we roll around the floor laughing and laughing. Even the same jokes are funny over again.

Book Description

Since 1970, Dr. Allen Unruh, a chiropractic physician, has been writing and collecting one-liner jokes and quotes. He has been a keen observer of the social scene. This hobby has helped him understand how to use humor to dispel tension and brighten up the day of everyone he meets. He went to Comedian Camp MinneHAHA. Then he went on to school to develop his wit, but attended only half the classes. A half-wit is still better than a dimwit or a nitwit. He believes that even the wisest of men relish in a little nonsense. One-liners and quotations help us get a perspective on life. Often the right one-liner can share a simple but profound truth. When it comes to life's most important lessons, we can all use gentle reminders.

Fill your day with laughter.......2007-04-25

Reviewed by Lori Plach for Reader Views (4/07)

Are you sick of hearing jokes that aren't funny or are poking fun of a person's nationality or hair color? Are you looking for some quality clean jokes to share around the water cooler at work? You know, ones that will not embarrass you or be considered unwholesome. As it is written in Ephesians 4:29, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths." Do you find yourself having to explain punch lines to the kids? If you have a speech to write and want to start off on a humorous note, "The 365 Day Clean Joke Book" is definitely a treasury you would want for your home library.

The jokes in this book are hilarious! There is no need to be ashamed of the content of "The 365 Day Clean Joke Book." This book could easily be enjoyed by all members of the family, except those who are too young to understand jokes yet. Each page represents one day so you can get three good laughs every day of the year. The content varies from "Knock knocks" to short humorous stories to delightful one- liners. It has been said that laughter is good for the soul. This book is great for your soul because there are tons of laughs inside its pages.

You too can show that you have a sense of humor but the laughs don't have to come from poking fun at other people, references to sex and body parts. There are riddles and jokes on a wide variety of topics from church to animals, education to family, travel and much more. I love this book since it will definitely make my mouth filled with laughter and still be honoring my Lord and Savior while still enjoying a good laugh.

Make every day special and laughter filled, by indulging in "The 365 Day Clean Joke Book" just because its funny doesn't mean it has to be dirty!

Hmm.. not so funny.......2007-04-10

This book is just plain terrible. I could't find a single joke that even made me smirk, maybe it's just my sense of humor. Anyway I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.

There are some witty observations in this collection. Most of it is pretty basic, which is what most comedy is all about. Here are a couple of examples:

Q. What is the difference between a chess player and a civil servant?
A. A chess player moves every now and then (p. 25).

Employer: We want a responsible man for this job.
