Abe

John Lescroart

Signet, 2006

Never a dull moment
A senseless carjacking/murder by a black gang banger begets a mob lynching of a black lawyer and the city on the bay explodes into a race riot. Against this violent background John Lescroart unleashes a cast of unforgetable characters. Kevin Shea - the good ...

Betrayal (Dismas Hardy)

John Lescroart

Dutton Adult, 2008

A host of perils and a question of innocence enhances a gripping narrative
John Lescroart's BETRAYAL receives David Colacci's warm voice and experienced style as it tells of a San Francisco defense attorney Dismus Hardy and detective Abe Glitsky who agree to clean up a fellow attorney's caseload - only to discover a detailed, dangerous case ...

Abe Lincoln's Hat (Step into Reading, Step 3)

Martha Brenner

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1994

Fun History Lesson
I read this book to my pre-K class, who just loved it. Learning about Lincoln's hat habit along with the other significant things in his life was great. It made the kids listen to the entire book (hard for some 4 and 5 year-olds). I even had one boy show up the next ...

Abe Sapien: The Drowning

Mike Mignola, Jason Shawn Alexander

Dark Horse, 2008

Good Story, Great Art
Another great story from Mignola, but not drawn by him. He abandoned drawing BPRD a long time ago, brought on a new artist for Lobster Johnson, and finally gave up drawing Hellboy itself. The story follows Abe on his first solo mission and, of course, things get ...

Abe's Honest Words: The Life of Abraham Lincoln
Doreen Rappaport

Hyperion Book CH, 2008

From the time he was a young boy roaming the forests of the unsettled Midwest, Abraham Lincoln knew in his heart that slavery was deeply wrong. A voracious reader, Lincoln spent every spare moment of his days filling his mind with knowledge, from history to literature to mathematics, preparing himself to one day lead the country he loved towards ...

Lincoln Unmasked: What You're Not Supposed to Know About Dishonest Abe

Thomas Dilorenzo

Three Rivers Press, 2007

A nice piece of critical analysis that pokes holes in the conventional view of history
Kudos to DiLorenzo for systematically presenting well researched arguments about the true nature of the Lincoln presidency. This book stands tall, especially when viewed in contrast to such works as Doris Kearns Goodwin' "Team of Rivals". "Team of Rivals" focuses ...

The Forex Trading Course: A Self-Study Guide To Becoming a Successful Currency Trader (Wiley Trading)

Abe Cofnas

Wiley, 2007

THE book for beginners
For those of you, like me, who actually want to learn to trade forex and don't know where to start, this is the book to buy. I reviewed lots of others, was disappointed that they either spent most of the book shilling a particular book/system/company, or else they ...

Queen of Dragons

Shana Abe

Bantam, 2008

The best in Shana Abe's drakon series yet!
Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT..! I think this book is the best of the Drakon series yet. After putting down the rules & groundwork of her fantastical Drakon world in books 1 and 2, Shana Abe finally threw in some serious conflicts (both internal and external), to ...

The Dream Thief (The Drakon, Book 2)

Shana Abe

Bantam, 2007

Great
I bought it today and finished it today. Great book, couldn't put it down. I think the character development was better than the first book. Can't wait to go buy the third one tomorrow!

The Woman in the Dunes

Kobo Abe

Vintage, 1991

Scary, but somehow comforting.
The sand pit in Kobo Abe's The Woman In The Dunes is a completely artificial construct, but it never feels that way. In reality, sand doesn't behave the way described in the book. When the director Hiroshi Teshigahara made the film adaptation ("Woman In The Dunes," ...

Japanese Phrasebook

Yoshi Abe

Lonely Planet, 2008

I was able to communicate!!!
I feel this book is not only usefull for comunication with other people during my travel but also very well prepare to be user friendly. It was exellent in my trip to Japan have it with me.

Guilt (Abe Glitsky)

John Lescroart

Island Books, 1998

Keeps you reading
GUILT is one of those books that keeps pushing you to read "just one more chapter." If you read the back cover, it is about a murder, but we don't get THAT murder until page 300. The set up is worth the read. Lescroart populates his novels with plenty of ...

The Bark Of The Bog Owl (The Wilderking Trilogy) (The Wilderking Trilogy)

Jonathan Rogers

B&H Publishing Group, 2004

A Fresh Retelling
"The Bark of the Bog Owl" is a fun book with fun characters. A retelling of the Biblical story of David, it manages to capture the heart of the tale while introducing new and hilarious characters. Since many readers already know the story of David, Rogers had to work ...

Robot Volume 1 (Robot)

Range Murata, Yoshitoshi Abe, ...

Digital Manga Publishing, 2005

If you're looking for story, back away...
Robot Volume 1 is a collection of 20 short stories (if you even want to call them 'stories'). It is considered more of an artbook than manga. The pages are stunning with it's vibrant colors and beautiful artwork. Range Murata only contributes to the first four pages ...
