The end of black and white

What happens when a soldier learns the language of the people he is living amongst, and paid to kill?  What happens when he learns the culture, and decides to adopt it as his own?  Gone Native tells the story of a NCO who went too far - at least in the eyes of his own government.  Instead of ending up as the most valuable policy-maker in Washington we could have ever had, the author ends up in a stockade.  Thank goodness he wrote his book anyway, despite his mistakes, admissions of recreational drug use, etc.  Anyone who wants to know what Vietnam was like should read this tome.  It's among the ten best books ever written about the Vietnam conflict.  It offers valuable lessons for future warriors, like LEARN THE LANGUAGE / STUDY THE CULTURE before you go pointing a gun at someone who may or may not be your enemy.  I respect author Cornet more than any other Vietnam warrior I have read. He became a true gentleperson with ethics after starting out as a nineteen year old with a license to kill.

Unfortunately BBCA appear to have pulled the plug on Copper. It started so strong, it's sad to see it kind of fizzle out in S2, and end without resolution. A pity.

A funny and sad ending to the final season of Will & Grace. It's a must have for all sitcom fans to complete the whole series.

Its black and white.  Very old but still very moving and heart felt.  Shows you how anyone no matter what can be close to God

The final book leaves us hope for the future of humanity. A good climax to the epic tale.

Final story of the Twilight Saga.  I have seen them all and I have to say this is a great ending to
a romantic story with vampires and humans.  I think people should see all the parts, there are five of them
and a young girl falls in love with a vampire. Interesting movies and a nice ending.  Very exciting finale.

Great way to end the series. Finally, Adonis and Briana got it together. It seemed like once they did, Persia and Ramses hit a bump in the road. They were both doing stupid stuff to get back at each other. Im so glad they stopped playing games and got it together before the baby was born. Then, there was Turk and Miracle. SMH. Turk better be glad Miracle loved him. He really showing his butt because he has never been in love before.

This is it. It's over. It feels strange that after all the time, I'm finally done with the series.

This was a short book, quick, to the point. The Wake was the perfect way to say goodbye to all the characters we've grown to know throughout the series. They all come back to attend The Dream Lord's wake, remembering him, telling stories, some good, some bad - a sense of loss hugely palpable in the air.

The Dream Lord himself has been reborn and is witnessing his own wake. I'm not sure I liked that part very much, not sure he should have been reborn. The idea of having really lost him would have been a lot more powerful, in my opinion.

After the wake, the book goes on to tell 3 different stories about characters we've met before. They were good stories, but again, I wasn't sure of the relevance of having them to finish off the Sandman series. I understand the parallels drawn from Shakespeare writing his last ever play for Morpheus, and Neil Gaiman writing the last installment of the series, but I kind of wished for a different ending. One where we got to see more of his siblings, more of the loss felt, more of this new Dream Lord, who some have accepted and others haven't.

Good ending, not the greatest though.

It's great to see these stars walk away from the mainstream to create their OWN stream. A lot of blood and sweat went into the making of Image, and you can see the payoff in things like THE WALKING DEAD. They're not done, though. Image is a hotbed of ideas, and I look forward to the next chapters.

As a fan of the show when it was on TV, this is starting to show signs of wrapping up the storyline in a way the final season f the show could not. Interested to give the series a full look and see how it ends up

This was a fitting end to the series, and who would have pictured the ending the two main characters. Not the way I had imagined which is great in it's own way since it was a nice surprise. Well worth it to purchase and read.

The finish of a worthy (if unpalatable) opponent. Unfortunately this might also be the end of really well developed characters, I will miss them (if true).

The finish of the series started by Ender's Game. A little slower than the previous novels, but a fitting end to the series.

'The Last Stand' is the big finale to the 9-part 'Forever Gate' series. It follows Ari, Tanner, and Hoodwink as they complete their separate missions to ensure the survival of the crashed colony ship and its occupants. This final episode is a great conclusion to a great story. Mr. Hooke's vivid writing continues to paint clear and fantastic pictures as he gives each of his three heroes the time and space they deserve to tell their part of the story.

While the immediate storyline has come to an end, much material and multiple questions remain, so I hope this is not the last we hear of Hoodwink and the Satori.

This is a great story with many twists and turns that will keep you on edge and reading on. It is well worth your time and I highly recommend to start reading this series with episode one; not because the individual episodes cannot stand on their own, they can, but because the complete story arc is such a surprise and enjoyment to discover.

Great job, Mr. Hooke, I am looking forward to reading many more of your stories.

We actually cheered at the ending of the last episode of Season 2.  You've got to see it...you'll be cheering, too!

The colorized version is very well done. Plus you have the B&W version it that floats your boat.

It is nice to have both.

Saw this book awhile back in the bookstore and did not realize that the pictures had been colorized. Then when I saw that they were the original pictures and looked go great I bought it. Makes it much more interesting because nothing has ever been in black and white i.e. movies that are made in B&W usually because it was quite expensive before the sixties, and later film makers thought that they should make their movie in B&W for who knows why, but I've gotten off the beat and path. This book is very nice.
