Cary Grant: the Lonely Heart

Customer Reviews:

Dreadful.......2007-01-03

My disgust with this book is not its gossipy nature or its interest in Grant's sexuality. I loathe this book because the authors seem incapable of getting the basic facts straight. Statements of fact -- rather obvious things like the year of Grant's first visit to America -- are contradicted within the space of a few pages. Did these guys read each other's work? The whole thing is just a stupid, stupid mess. The authors should be beaten and their editor should be shot.

The only book I've ever thrown in the trash.

Old Gossip.......2004-06-02

Depending on whom you ask, you will be told that Cary Grant was homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual; that he was a hard drinker and occasional drug user or that he despised both; that he was a miser or that he was uncommonly generous; that he was an abusive husband or a remarkably tender lover; that he was disturbed to the point of psychosis or that he was the most level-headed man imaginable. And it is quite possible that he was indeed all these seemingly contradictory things at various points in his complicated life.

But rather than actually explore any of these subjects, Mosely and Higham simply rake up a lot old gossip and let it go at that--and what emerges is not so much a portrait of Cary Grant but the extreme lights in which Hollywood scandal mongers tended to regard him. This is Cary Grant according gossip columnists, intent upon enticing readers with tabloid accusations instead of making any actual exploration of the nature of the man behind the movie image. Not recommended.

HORRIBLE.......2004-02-09

This book was so horrible that I stopped reading it after a few pages. It detailed a false view of Cary Grant. Speculations have always been around of Cary Grant as a homosexual, but no basis for fact has ever arisen, therefore you cannot include such details without their false sense of themselves in the book. The books STINKS and its not worth the paper that it is printed on!

A Dissappointment.......2001-05-28

This book is a dissappointment to say the least! With very little basis in any fact the book is presented negativly by the authors. Has a good title but is weak from beginning to to end.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Interesting module but not quite apocalyptic........2002-09-03

Warning, spoilers beneath:

I've recently gotten back into AD&D, and picked up this module because of the unique premise. End the world and make your players responsible for it! The problem with the module however is that the players have very little hint of what's coming. Yes, I understand that this is what makes the module such a shock and great RP experience, but as written the reason the apocalypse comes about is unknown to anybody but a select few. To me, this means that the players won't have a sudden realization of a prophecy coming true, or realizing what an old myth really means. Instead, they're tricked into destroying the world and have absolutely no way to realize what happened until the final revelation (yes, they do get hints as to what's happening, but not why until then). I feel it would be much more effective to start a campaign with the idea that the world could be ended with this adventure, and then give hints through mythology or prophecy that slowly lead up to it.

That said, this is one of the better written AD&D adventures I've run across. There's little in the way of dungeon crawls, and a lot in the way of role playing, epic confrontations and last minute attempts at redemption while a world collapses (the final battle kind of reminded me of the beginning of "Superman" when Krypton exploded.. only with an epic fight going on in an attempt to stop it. The encounters are truly fiendish and dark, with hints on how to make them even darker. Again however, this might be too jarring for players who've played a campaign up to this point in a more usual style. Also, some of the challenges the players face have very little way to know what the correct choice is, and if they choose wrong they have no chance to even attempt to save the world.

I find the concept of this adventure quite intriguing, and many of the ideas can be used, but I feel it will work better if this endpoint is considered a possibility in a campaign that's just beginning, rather than saying "Well, nothing left to do with these characters, time to end the world with a bang."

How to End your Campaign World.......2001-11-27

Make them go out with a bang! This extensive adventure is for high level characters. The DM may use this adventure to end his current campaign by literally allowing the current campaign world to be destoryed during an epic battle. This adventure is extensive in detail and interesting. It's one of the better high level adventures I have seen in the older TSR D&D line.

Awesome.......2001-11-06

This is one of the best d&d adventures I have ever read! It is great if you have a long, developed campaign that you wish to bring to a glorious end. This story reads like a movie, filled with secondary plot hooks and opportunities to insert earlier campaign elements flawlessly (these old nemeses that lie about)... It is very atmospheric and emotionally engaging, if you are into world-shaking events.

Although I seldom play d&d now, having switched to white wolf systems, I had this book recommended to me with the highest praise, so I bought it. It is one of my most prized posessions now too, and I am only looking for a chance to go back to a new fantasy trip into the end times.

A GREAT adventure!.......2000-12-21

I am a DM for me and my friend's D&D 3E campaign, and when I used this book I saw a total difference in my players. It was a lot of fun first of all, to be able to make up so many lies to my players and actually have them believe me! The thing that REALLY got them, was that they destroyed the world. When I told them this, they started saying things like "Oh well, atleast the rest of the world is safe. This poor place doesn't matter" Than I told them they actually destroyed... the world!

They were wide-eyed and started freaking out, it was funny. Before they were too impatient to solve a small puzzle with fire, but after we finished this whole adventure, they discovered the importance of puzzles and adventure. The book is a little overpriced, but it would be well worth it if money is no object.

For TSR - not bad..........2000-11-30

Considering this is a TSR product this adventure is not too bad. But it does suffer from the TSR curse that it just does not create a realistic adventure at all.

First what is good about this product: Well, it is different which is a welcome relief after myriad products which have similar themes just different names. There is some thought behind it and that shows.

What is bad about it: This may take a little while. First, it is inconsistent. In the test areas, where it is extremely important to have a uniformity of mind, one of the tests is failed if the characters get distracted from their goal. But a later test requires them to do just that to investigate a problem! Makes no sense. Second, it is linear, as most TSR products are and there is little chance to roleplay. Third, the adventure just makes no sense. The GM will strain credulity to have players who demand a small modicum of reality and rationality in their campaigns buy all of this. A little too much is explained by magic. Oh well.

Book Description

The actual stone Christ used when he stated, He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone has been passed through history with a power to reveal to its possessor that persons sinful life.The stone has now found its way to a Washington DC judge, whose paths of sin are revealed. Judge not, lest ye be judged. These words have rarely if ever crossed the mind of Aberlene county judge Evan Spencer. From a middle class background, he graduated law school, married into wealth, and now has his eye on a Supreme Court seat. All was going well for Judge Spencer until he received a package from an old college friend he hadnt heard from in years containing a cryptic note and a small stone. Trying to track down his old friend, Spencer learns of the mans suicidal leap from the roof off a twentieth-floor balcony. Evan Spencer now has control of an object whose power is beyond anything Spencer could possibly imaginean object whose very existence has been kept under wraps by the Vatican for decades. Enlisting the help of Reverend Angelo Grasso, a seventy-two-year-old expert on the history of stigmatic cases, Spencer must uncover the secrets behind this strange stone, or watch his family, career, and possibly his life be destroyed.

On these day of tech-changes and everything is changing up side down, never has been as necessary as it is now to nurture relationships. When Visionaries like Peter Drucker mention that knowledge society is here and we can prove that, the theme of social styles show us the extent of relationships at work, and in personal life too!
