Be prepared to have your hair parted as this story charges off the starting blocks at breakneck speed with hardly a pause for breath until the final page! The thoroughly likeable, yet fallible, Garnet Sullivan, stops at nothing to uncover heinous crime doers on her patch of Florida. Ever conscious of approaching deadlines, as the sole crime reporter for the local newspaper, this puts Garnet under untenable pressure to deliver up the culprits...

Margaret Langstaff's extraordinarily entertaining use of language will have you gripping the arms of your chair, unable to put the story down in case you miss a slice of the action! Keep your wits about you, sit back and enjoy the ride! A thoroughly enjoyable read.

I took awhile to read this even though I have enjoyed all the Outlander series before this. Ms. Gabaldon has started using multiple plots in her last 2 novels or so. At first it really annoyed me, but I guess I am getting used to it because I absolutely loved this book. If you are like me and have put off reading this due to reviews, etc. I implore you to take the plunge and buy it. You won't be sorry! Plus you know you just have to find out what is happening to Claire and Jamie. For those that haven't read Diana Gabaldon before you have to start with the first one, Outlander. Be prepared to be consumed with reading all of the series and enjoy! Also, be sure and check out Outlander on Starz. It is an amazing thing to see these beloved characters come to life on my television screen!

This DVD set is great.  Although there is one episode missing ( the recap episode - with unseen footage), it's a fantastic gift for yourself or any fan.  The thing I loved most, is the cast comentary on many of the episodes.  It gives you a lot of information about how some of them felt towards others out there and also some things that went on that the cameras didn't pick up.  With the exception of Jenna, Amber (Ambar), Rupet and Rob (who were all monotonos and BORING), the other groups that commentated were excellent and fun.  They had great personalities and it made a regular episode so much more fun to watch.

Go out and buy this set because it's totally cool and especially if you are a big fan, you'll love it and keep it forever.

What great fun this turned out to be. I just love how every single book is so unique in its story. Every story has had a complex back story told with imagination and fun. I've had THE greatest time reading about Fool's Gold residents and Jack and Larissa had me in stitches from page ONE!
The most unique part was that Larissa truly didn't know she was in love with Jack until she knew. It wasn't the usual, girl hides feelings until she can't hide them anymore type story. She just had an 'oh damn' moment and jumped right into attempting to 'fix' it.
I also love that in these stories you also get a glimpse into future stories without it being too obvious. I don't want to give the story away too much in my review so I'll stop now except to say that in my opinion, Jack's little epiphany may have been over the top. I felt it was out of character for him a bit. He was never portrayed as a rough around the edges, mean type person and what he did was WAY out of character. I think he still could have done it, just not so harshly maybe.
READ THESE BOOKS!

Neil Gaiman has a gift for telling great tales and, just as important, for creating imaginative means for telling stories. Here he takes just about every key character and element of the Marvel universe and transports them 400 years into the past for a rollicking adventure of Elizabethan intrigue. Even though I have only ever been a casual dipper into the Marvel works, I found the overall tale itself plenty interesting enough to keep me reading and the winks to the "real" Marvel universe (the ones I caught anyway) quite amusing. I imagine that true Marvel aficionados will get even more out of the inside jokes and allusions than I did, but I can't imagine that they'll be any more thoroughly entertained for all that. This one is just a lot of fun for anyone!

Poke'mon sapphire is much more entertaining than almost all it's precedors.
Although your character,boy or girl(with redesigned animations!) is a bit small, it's much more detailed, just one example of this game's amazing graphic capibilities. The cut trees look different and berry trees too!
New attacks, such as the HM dive add further to the fun. Also, hidden power can now be used out of battle at certain areas to reveal decoratable "secret bases".
All in all, tons of features add to the entertainment in this cartridge, so, I have but one more thing to say:GET IT NOW!

I adore this series so much I have purchased more than a dozen hats similar to the ones Phrynie Fisher wears on the show.  The garb is glorious, the acting, direction, writing and photography superb!  I hope there are many more seasons of this wonderful show.

I would not say this is a great book, but I am a huge fan of the Outlander series and this book is a fun romp with Gabaldon fandom. As this young woman embarks on her journey to Scotland to find her Jamie Fraser, the story is told through a series of blog posts and a bit of narrative about what she DOESN'T think belongs in the blog. As a 67 year old who has bought all the books in all 3 genres (audio, kindle, and paper) and owns and sometimes wears a "Keep Calm and Dinna Fash" t-shirt, I'm feeling quite smug about how little I obsess about the books and now the TV show. Perspective is wonderful! I can't WAIT to visit Scotland myself.

What a fun read!  From the quirky fantastical characters to the suspenseful storytelling, Elayne Griffith has added a gem to this popular genre.  She strikes a delightful balance between the lighthearted-comical and the dark-mysterious-adventure story that keeps things fresh and interesting throughout.  It was especially fun to follow the personal transformation of Shawna (the main character) as she must accept and face her new unexpected life full of challenges.  I also applaud how she broke the stereotypical view of unicorns.  These are not your sparkly, rainbow-farting, white unicorns.  :-)

A wealth of unique characters, a suspenseful and twisted story, comedic relief, prophetic dragons, kooky fairies, evil molochs and a dash of romance make Sapphire a must read.

Can't wait for book 2!

It's really a shame the DVD doesn't have higher quality video (the animation looks GREAT in HD via iTunes so you'll be able to read some of the funny hidden easter eggs that are littered throughout the show). I was willing to hold out for a complete season, but I honestly couldn't wait any longer because I'm trying to share this show with as many of my friends and family as possible and not everyone can afford paying for all the iTunes episodes in HD. I'd rather reel em in by having them watch the season on my copy and after that they'll go support the show in their own way when they're hooked. There isn't enough merchandise for Gravity Falls, Disney! This show is LITERALLY about a group of people who work in a merchandise shop, the fanbase is hungry, and you're not delivering when we actually want it? What the heck??
I'm 23 and a HUGE fan of this show. I'm not normally a Disney Channel fan, but this style of entertainment is very genuine and non-gimmicky. It can also get dark too, which is surprising since it's got such a cute and funny style. It's rated Y7, but know your kids well enough to tell if they can handle some frightening moments with creepy monsters (thankfully, though, every time there's been a scary moment, they balance it out with a funny and light-hearted reaction to it right afterward). The jokes are hilarious (great comedic timing and a good range of humor for kids, teens, and adults), and the storytelling is clever and surprisingly heartwarming and deep! Doesn't take itself too seriously, which I like. I appreciate the dynamic every character has with each other. Dipper and Mabel are definitely a great representation of a healthy and realistic sibling team. As the eldest of five daughters, I personally find it tiring to see every show with siblings that hate each other. Dipper finds Mabel annoying at times and Mabel has teased Dipper and gotten in arguments, but you regularly see them doing things like "syrup racing" and playing checkers and just generally hanging out with each other. They behave less like the "carbon copy twins" stereotype and more like regular siblings that just happen to be the same age.
If you didn't already hear, there are also coded messages hidden in the show just waiting to be deciphered (sometimes it's foreshadowing and other times just silly stuff). It's just another layer that makes it that much more fun to be a fan.
You should look into this show whether or not you have kids. Children will enjoy it, but you won't want to miss it either!
Though I wish this DVD were Blu-ray with extras, I'd rather support the show with a five-star rating and buying the DVD anyway. A nice bonus, is that you get a lil' booklet-version of Dipper's secret book! It's a nice momento that will probably be a collectible in the future and leaves space at the bottom of each page for you to write additional notes about the creatures in the show.
I've already pre-ordered the second DVD, and I'll definitely be buying the complete 1st season (hopefully Blu-ray) set in the future. Hope they remember to put the hiatus Shorts in there too!

Little Morning Star has some of the cleverness of Neil Gaiman's and Terry Pratchett's Good Omens, with it unusual pre-history and Supernatural critters.  Ms. Sage as also included 'Gods' that Giorgio Tsoulakos and the Ancient Aliens crowd would giggle at and love this book to death!  I could truly recommend it to both the Gaiman and Pratchett crowd and to the Ancient Alien group for the sheer fun of the book.

Lily, a young college student and witch finds out that she is more than she could possibly imagine.  And yet, with all the unearthly and supernatural things springing up around her, including a Duke of Hell and a hell hound shifter, she still is grounded in reality.  No matter what she is hit with, she still tries to find a logical explanation for everything, even the first two monkeys who evolved into humans.  Her attraction to the Duke of Hell, her reactions to what she feels like his rebuffs and her emotions at being dragged from the life of a poor and orphaned student into the world of Supernaturals who have lived and invested for thousands of years are truly believable.  Very well done, Ms. Sage, very well done!

As a Wiccan myself, I love that Lilith makes an appearance.

Azaroth, a Duke of Hell, who prefers to go by Roth, cannot believe he is tied to Lily!  She's his mate, a mate he was tricked into having.  Every instinct says to protect her, those instincts that don't want bed and wed her immediately!  But in his world, she is still a minor.  He may be a demon, but he isn't a pervert.  So, while he arranges bodyguards and teaches her how to protect herself, he mentally counts down the days until he can have her.  His simmering frustration at living up to his angelic morals can only be called adorable.  Ms. Sage's descriptions of that frustration makes the reader feels as if they own it!

Ash, a hell hound shifter who melts when he looms over her in his hound shape and she calls him a good dog.  He is more of a Labrador Retriever in human form than a Hell Hound.  Ash is constantly rolling the affection he gets from his charge, Lily and the love he gets from Raven.  He is as deeply protective as that breed as well.

Raven is Nephilim, her father being a dark-winged angel, which Angel I won't tell, but it is a big reveal and saved until the very end..  She is more human than angelic and at times just a tad devilish in a good way.

I list the characters because they make the story roll along with witty dialogue, internal and external that I can only attribute to May Sage's sly sense of humor.  I can see her tongue firmly planted in her cheek as angels end up being the bad guys and the demons being the good.  Angels want Lily dead, while Demons and their hosts want Lily where she belongs on the Throne of the Heir.

Ms. Sage use of language made me giggle, snort, SNARF and outright laugh.  Which is why I highly recommend it to fans of Good Omens and The Godhunter Series.  I also recommend it to anyone who enjoys a little laugh with their apocalypse.

Our beloved MS Gabaldon has again delighted her fans!

Such fun! It has been quite some time since I enjoyed a story this much. The story is well told with a totally captivating cast of characters. It is a victorian romance wrapped in an outlandish tale so well done that I found it difficult to put down and found myself reading into the wee hours of the morning only to pick it back up upon awaking to finish it! The title chosen by D. L. Carter fits so well and I haven't smiled and cringed and laughed so much while reading in ages. If you're looking for a book with excellent writing, and a story so nicely told that you can lose yourself in the sheer entertainment of it, this is the book for you. So I'll leave you here, I've purchased the second book Obstreperous and I can simply wait no longer to jump in and find out where this amazing cast of characters will take me next. Well done D. L Carter - thank you for the joy of being thoroughly entertained.

I absolutely love the Wildstone novels. There's not just one thing, but it's the combination of Shalvis's quick wit and humor, along with the tender moments between friends and family members, and the fun ups and downs of new love. I'm amazed at the unique scenarios Shalvis comes up with! In this instance, Lanie is a widow dealing with the information that she was only the first of several wives for her late husband. I never could have predicted the roller coaster Shalvis laid out when River and Lanie come together. And Lanie's grief and humiliation is only one layer on top of the scars from a childhood where she never felt wanted or loved. So it was especially fun to watch her reactions to the almost automatic love and acceptance by the whole Capriotti clan. This book was filled with fun and tears and laughter. I can't wait to read more!

I was given a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I was expecting this to be wonderful and I was not disappointed. Despite being highly entertaining, Gaiman demonstrates a deep knowledge of Norse mythology and a dedication to scholarship. He presents the BEST version of Odin's acquisition of the mead of poetry EVER! I guarantee he'd have the Vikings rolling in the aisles.

Think Diana Gabaldon and Outlander . . . it's that good!

The Great Queen Seondeok is a grand, colorful extravaganza of Korean culture over 1000 years ago.  The plots, subplots, villains, heroines and heroes are so intriquing and attention-grabbing. It is in the Korean language with subtitles (English, Chinese etc) which means you have to pay attention...but we were so captivated by the episodes that we enjoyed even the language!
  For anyone who has an interest in the history and culture of ancient Korea (the Shilla dynasty) this is so facinating.
  The storyline begins with the the birth of twin daughters to the King of Shilla and the King's enemies.  The twins are raised separately and unaware of the other's presence for years, while the evil villainess Misil works to undermine the King and seize the throne for herself.  There are  many surprise twists and turns in the plots and characters as well deep emotion, adventure and humor.  This will remain a favorite in our household and I would highly reccommend it.  There is the violence of battle but not overdone, language and sexual content is not an issue so this could be viewed by middle-school children up to elderly.
