Not sure who wrote the above Amazon summary of the book, but "metaphysical" means beyond the physical = hence mystical. But the summary said this book guides us from the metaphysical to the mystical. :-D

Not a really good summary of the book in my opinion.

I've not read this book (The Second Mouse by Archer Mayor) yet - but found no other way to tell you this. Your entry for The Second Mouse includes a BOOK DESCRIPTION but is the description of an Amelia Peabody book by Elizabeth Peters - not at all about the book to which you have attached that description.

The description provided by Amazon for this book is for another book by the same author.  "Carnival of Killing " is a fun read, but this is a different book.  The single star is for the error and not the book. Is there any way to call Amazon's attention to copy errors?  I hate to pan what might be a good book.

All were written in a two-month span by people who have reviewed nothing else on Amazon, before or since.  They could represent a spontaneous outpouring of appreciation of the book's genius by folks entirely unconnected to the author, but it seems darn unlikely to me.

It seems like the whole premise of the book is that Cleo's story is told through Willow and in doing so it changes Willows life.  The crazy thing is that if you don't read the summary on Amazon you have no idea that is what is happening.  Maybe a part of the book - like the preface - is not included in the kindle version?

Without that component the story is ok, told kind of simplistically.

I will admit I had purchased the book awhile ago and Kindle has this annoying feature that you can't get a summary for the book like you can with a real book of just flipping it over. Only if you have an eReader and if you have Wifi. Well, when I started, I didn't remember what it was about, but I didn't remember purchasing in book like this one. I looked at the summary now and it doesn't fully describe what it is. I know I couldn't fully describe it without giving away some of the book though.

Anyway, opinion of the book in general. It was well written, no editing problems, but nothing really stood out for me. It was just a story that most people would read quickly, I'm one who reads a little here and a little there. The problem with that was, she would do the thing of someone saying "Oh that explains why so and so did that?" and you would have no idea who so and so was, but to me the story wasn't worth enough effort to go back and find out. So, if you want a quick read to pass sometime. Maybe give you the opportunity to say, "What in the world did I just read?" this is the book for you.

R J Palacio, so and I personally think amazon should move it to a different list. Extra words and more come on

amazon has solicited my email to write a review on this item,?
I have never ordered this item and know nothing about it.
however the original J.R. Tolken writings are familiar to many.

which is something I only found out after coming to Amazon to check into one of the authors.

That information was NOT stated up front when I ordered (from and directly to my Kindle). At least now I know why one story seemed to end so abruptly.

That said, of the three 'samplers', for me only two would be worthy of continued reading.

A good way to discover new authors you may be unaware of.

The comment on editor (using the reviewer's sacred space) is not out of place. Amazon has a different logic to treat people. In the previous incarnation amazon.com had an option for author's to comment. Now, I presume, it is turned into Guide.

amazon.co.uk and amazon.ca have differences in this regard, and in the ultimate this strategy (of sorts) hurts the authors, reviewers, commentators, etc.

Internet in Everyday Life is a kind of book that I could lay my hands, on the very day it appeared in the market.

--- Comments forthcoming --- I will be back soon and give a full picture of the book, its structure, approach and value for the every day life.

I purchased two of these books, partly based on the Amazon description of each being signed by the author. Both were signed, not by the author but seemingly a previous owner. Otherwise, each was in the condition expected.

Love the book for the reasons detailed by others. But why in the world is there a synopsis of the entire plot at the beginning of this volume? Very irritating as well as unnecessary.

This gets one star only as I am extremely miffed that only a summary and study guide is available. Really amazon - only this and not the book.

I don't remember it exactly, but Amazon won't let me read the next one till I do this
Enough with the review crap
