I was very skeptical to buy into such a new author. Immediately I was entranced and happy that I did! The story is captivating, engaging, and absolutely...for lack of a better word.. magical. This is an absolute must read! Can't wait for more in the series!

Worth more than five stars!  The depth and believability of the characters is unsurpassed!  I can feel what they feel and know how each of them think and what motivates them due to the masterful story telling.  How long until book five?  Anyone could read this and love it, but I very much appreciate the Christian themes.  There is no dullness about this book.  Completely perfect!

What a raving success Jake's books are! I'm not normally much of a reader until I find something that either captivates my mind or interest; Boystown is one of those books that I just could not put down! I read this book in just over a day, I literally could not put it down. I was captivated from the very first pages. Jake is an amazing writer, if you have not read his books, then please do!

Season One opens you up to a world of tantalizing mystery and desire, The cliffhangers at the end will keep you salivating for more!

I adore this whole series! You wanna have a good fun read?
This is what you have been longing for! This is certainly one of my all-time absolute favorites! The guys aren't perfect (sometimes are self-avowed a**holes) and the gals are so funny (and sometimes mean b**ches) but it is so refreshing and well worth your precious time! There is no laggin, no waiting for the good stuff, no "alpha male will save the world"! It's a welcomed relief from the "heart-of-gold waifish virgin+alpha male millionnaire loners" romance novel offerings that abound nowadays. Thank goodness for such fertile imagination and talent! Thank goodness for the editors to recognize something good, too!

It has been a long time since I have been this excited about a new author and I am simply overjoyed to have discovered Nathan Hill.  As another reviewer has stated here, it surely does give me hope that there will always be outstanding fiction for me to enjoy!  This book has utterly stolen my heart, I am in love with this sprawling novel.  It must have been an agonizing journey, wondering if this book would ever be completed, and published.  Thank you Nathan Hill, for persevering over these past 10+ years to create this wonderful novel and share it with "your readers", a group of people that I  expect will become larger than your wildest dreams.  This book is utterly brilliant and very special, and deserving of many literary awards in my humble opinion.  I sincerely hope the rewards for you are plentiful, as so deserved, for this tremendous masterpiece which you have written.  Bravo!

Reminiscent of `Doctor Who', Artemis Fowl is a young criminal genius travelling through time to face man-eating Trolls, high-tech Faries and flame-throwing Goblins. You could not find a children's/ teens adventure story with so much inspired creative vision beyond your wildest imagination; it is very exciting!

In `Artemis Fowl and the time paradox' he swaps criminal activity for a little bit of magic, (although complete with mayhem) Artemis travels through time to try and steal a cure from a devious mastermind, which he hopes will help his mother who is extremely ill. With, Fairy ally Captain Holly Short by his side, Artemis must face his deadliest enemy yet...

This brilliantly drawn tale is engagingly vivid, exciting and full of dry wit and humor that will make you laugh-out-loud. Reading one of Artemis' adventures is like reading a comic strip filled with non-stop action and nail-biting drama, which leaves you completely and utterly breathless. This is a real page-turner and one that both adults and kids alike will absolutely love, for it brings out the explorer in all of us. Ingenious schemes combined with a remarkable and quite extraordinary plot, left me in awe of Eoin Colfer's genius as a writer.

This exclusive, limited edition book contains extra material including another Artemis Fowl story inside, which contains even more fairy action and adventure! Additionally inside is an announcement regarding Colfer's new novel based on the incredible Douglas Adam's science-fiction series "The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and if that wasn't tempting enough snippets on the other books and `Artemis Fowl: the graphic Novel' are included.

Amid heart-pounding intensity and electric tension is a deeply engrossing storyline, which is so jam-packed and highly readable that it will have you clutching the pages tightly throughout. I love these books and cannot enthuse enough about Artemis Fowl who is so fantastic! If you love science-fiction and time travel, exploration and danger (complete with a colorful cast of captivating characters and curious creatures), then you will truly enjoy this spellbinding read

I so thoroughly enjoyed this book ! To be true, I could not put it down, and found myself reading it during every spare moment. Excellent writing, such wonderful characters, and a truly unique and satisfying story. I am longing for more, and hoping to continue the adventures of Isobel and Rook as soon as possible! Please?

This book is an absolutely delightful read!  I just finished visiting this fantastical world she has created with beautiful creatures and endearing characters. It definitely leaves me longing to read the sequel - I hope there is one! With the introduction of each new character one becomes increasingly engaged with the story and evolving relationships. I was especially delighted with the spiritual analogies made as the book ends; very subtle, but clear, inspirational and encouraging! It took my memory back to the characters C.S. Lewis creates for us in "Out of the Silent Planet" and "Perelandra".
Thank you for sharing your gift with us! Job well done!

I wore out my vinyl copy of "Live at Jimmy's" and feared that the CD would not live up to my expectations!  I WAS ENTIRELY WRONG ON THAT ASSUMPTION!  This recording is thrilling, tight, and sonically brilliant!  The ensemble is challenged with some of the most technically demanding riffs that are usually only attempted by soloists, but each section steps up big time!  And as for Ferguson, his spectacular artistry soars to indescribable heights to the delight of an electrified crowd that isn't lost on this incomparable performance of a lifetime!  This set belongs in EVERY music collection!!!

Wow!  What an amazing and well-written ride!  Michael Grumley's series is an absolute must for an HBO series!  I literally inhaled the "Brakthrough" over several days with my morning coffee, enthralled as his well-developed characters met seemingly overwhelming challenges with smarts, savvy and courage.  And some commendably wise comments in the plot about pollution, aggressively overreaching White Home staff (no, really?), the Ronne ice shelf, how to hang on to the skids of a crop-duster helicopter, the prevalence of carbon based lifeforms .. but hey, read these scientifically-based surprises for yourself!

A plus that his two prominent protagonists are both quick thinking AND believable.

I would write more only Sally and Dirk are chattering in my ear they have a lot to share with me two I am promptly diving right in LEAP!

It is ever so rare to find books you can truly sit down and devour in there entirety. Sometimes the beginning is too slow, or the characters or too dull, maybe the plot never really picks up. I have passed on so many books because the first page is just, well, uninteresting. Trust me, I didn't think anything less of this book when I opened it.

All I can say is "wow". This book blew me out of the water and onto the shore.  From the vivid, compelling prose to the masterfully constructed plot, this story delivers! The author truly outdid himself, creating a world with details that felt organic and tangible, nothing overused and recycled---it was all so refreshing. The battle sequence between Carison and the dragon deserves an award alone for how it was written.

The characters are the type of characters that seem more human then makeshift musings of the imagination. Carison with his refreshing, wondrous charm and wit and Raven (my favorite), strong, independent and gorgeous! I loved how much attention the author paid to these characters. His dedication and time to this book truly made for an unforgettable story. Leaving me with nothing but a jaw-dropping ending and a one-armed hero, I am dying to find out where this story takes me next.

The genius of Alison Weir is obvious.  She has achieved an almost impossible feat. Ms. Weir's triumph of writing a new history of a subject that has been done so often (and a few times, really quite well) yet stands out so dramatically against even the best is amazing!
Having read a great many of these histories (enjoying most a great deal), I approached this version with caution.  Yet I was immediately enthralled!
This not only includes all the information present in most versions, but due to Ms. Weir's uncanny ability to translate the most dull historical documents (i.e. countless pages of privy purse expenditures) into understandable and, most importantly, exciting information, you will discover even more!!!
 THIS has become my recommendation as THE quintessential work on the wives of Henry VIII!!!
