5 out of 5 stars Thames claims a Victim........2007-05-29

Supt. Duncan Kincaid and his Sergeant Glenna James travel to rural England at the request of Scotland Yard's assistant commissioner, who was an old school mate of Sir. Gerald Asherton. Sir Gerald's son-in-law's body was pull from a nearby lock. Was Connor Swann murdered or was his death an accident, stranger still, how did he die?
Growing emotional involvement bedevils their working relationship as Duncan finds himself draw the decease's estranged wife. This classic police procedural has as many twists and turns as the roads they travel. An excellent puzzle of deception with every character having something to hide and to loose.

3 out of 5 stars Inauthentic and clumsy, yet oddly compelling.......2006-08-31

Deborah Crombie should not have chosen to make her protagonists Scotland Yard detectives. I love a good cozy mystery, and I love a good police procedural, but her books thus far try to be both and succeed at neither. Clumsy, too, in the way the author tries to paint the growing sexual tension between Kincaid and James and the growing sexual tension between Kincaid and every other attractive female who crosses his path. I think she can work out the clumsiness, but she needs either to find out how police departments really work, or switch over to pure cozy.

On the other hand, after deciding that I couldn't stand to read any more in the series, I found the last chapter astonishingly poignant and compelling, so I will not give up on Crombie yet.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent mystery.......2006-02-23

I'm a great fan of both Deborah Crombie and Jill McGown. Both of these authors present complex, satisfying mysteries with a believable relationship going on at the same time.
This is a great read involving complex family interactions and excellent characterizations. The whole issue of the death of the young son, revealed in the first chapter, comes to an interesting conclusion.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Mystery.......2004-07-28

Ms. Crombie is shaping into a writer of the kind of power shown in the early works of Martha Grimes and Elizabeth George. The later work of these two authors have suffered greatly. Due to I-don't-know-what their work has turned dark and grim, almost unforgivably so. Ms. Crombie's work is still light enough to enjoy without causing severe depression afterwards. I look forward to reading some more of her work.

Highly recommended to lovers of the English mystery genre.

3 out of 5 stars Deborah Crombie is Overrated........2003-11-08

This is the third Crombie book I've read, and I did enjoy this one marginally more than the other two. The story and plots and and counterplots were more detailed and more believable (for the first part of the book anyway). I agree with the others that the last part of the book bogs down a lot. Also, I'm sorry but Duncan Kincaid is a "lame duck" and I find I have trouble liking him. He seems to fall for any female that comes his way, and he seems to lack a spine. I do like Gemma though. She manages to carry the book, even though her infatuation with Duncan lessens her sensibiity somewhat. I am a huge British procedural fan, so I find that this series lacks authenticity and I never forget that it's not written by an English author. The book did have possibility though. The 20 year time frame, and unresolved issues helped pull it out of the mundane and make it somewhat interesting. But it's one-dimensional and forced (at least for the last 1/4 of the book anyway).

                    3 out of 5 stars Powerful Story - Weak Hero.......2007-03-24

                    I've developed a love-hate relationship with this classic tale of shapeshifting and witchcraft.

                    I loved Williamson's descriptive prose and found his ability to set up a mood truly brilliant. The concept of what the lycanthropes really are is extremely innovative and, as one reviewer mentioned, has been the basis for countless stories that came after. Williamson spins a fascinating story that interweaves the supernatural with science and does a compelling job considering when the book was written.

                    Unfortunately, the weakest part of the book is the hero. No seriously...he's a wimp. William Barbee is the most sad-sack, ineffectual character I've ever come across in Sci-Fi/Fantasy literature. He's perpetually petrified by his surroundings, pushed around by his companions and never EVER has the sense to ask the right questions. Granted, he's supposed to be somewhat of a loser. But Williamson drives the point home so hard, it's hard to root for him. Even towards the end, as Barbee plunges his way towards the Big Reveal and experiences some revalations of his own, he's still annoying.

                    It's like watching a great movie with a really bad leading man. If you can get past that, you'll enjoy this book.

                    4 out of 5 stars News from the dark .......2007-01-19

                    A not-so-successful journalist meets a dazzlingly fasvcinating young colleague at the airport: a scientific anthropological exoedition returns with a disquieting breaktrough about ancient human history. "Disquieting" would prove quite an euphemism, as events unfolds and the horrible truth becomes clear. Owing something to the Lovecraftians "The Outsider" and "The shadow over Innsmouth", this novel has a quite modern approach to horror, albeit having being written in 1948. Very interesting!

                    4 out of 5 stars Verges on classic horror/SF.......2006-12-04

                    If you can ignore the fact Will Barbee is gulping, shuddering, gasping, shivering, twitching and trembling on nearly every page, this 1948 horror/science-fiction novel verges on being a classic. Had an kindly editor gotten ahold of the book, it would have been. Even without that light editing, this is a scary book about witches and shapeshifters. That makes it horror. Since Williamson makes a pretty good stab at explaining these things using modern science, that makes it science-fiction. When makes it nearly classic is that the alcoholic Barbee is torn between being seduced by evil that appears to be far, far more attractive than good, or staying with that good to save his friends. Will he fall? Will he win? I'll never tell. Read the book and you'll find out. You won't be disappointed, either.

                    4 out of 5 stars Enduring novel standing the test of time.......2005-07-25

                    The most pleasant surprise about "Darker Than You Think" for me is how NOT-dated it was. When I realized that it was a reprinting of a novel from the 1940's, I kind of expected the writing style to reflect its age. Not that 60 years is a LONG time in the writing world, but I have read other novels that practically screamed "Hey! I was written in the 1970's!" and so on. There was some jargon and lingo that was dated, and the newspaper was clearly NOT run in the computerized world. But other than that, this novel could ALMOST have been written this year.

                    My favorite element was probably the loose interpretation of lycanthropy. I wasn't as crazy about the use of the law of probability and such, but it was cool seeing one individual being able to turn into a wolf AND a saber tooth tiger AND a snake and so on. The explanation behind this was new and interesting, not quite like any other horror novel I have ever read.

                    The one thing about the writing style that DID bug me was the constant "shivering" by the main character. That and his flip flopping attitude about humanity versus the monster. For the first part, once the real "horror" of the plot started to unfold, the guy was CONSTANTLY "shivering" in horror or "shuddering" in fear, and let's not forget "gasping" words such as "Huh." By the end of the book, I think one of those words was used at least once per page. As for the flip flopping, he would embrace the monsters, then he would rebel on behalf of his human friends, then he would embrace the monsters again, then he would rebel. And on and on. It got a little tiring.

                    BUT ... looking past those two elements, I enjoyed the novel quite a lot. It is definitely a worthy read.

                    4 out of 5 stars An amazingly good book for the time.......2004-05-14

                    I've avoided writing a review of Darker Than You Think for an awfully long while. My reason is that I find it difficult to separate the novel from the time I first read it and the kind, helpful man who wrote it. I read this book during the early 1950s because I admired and respected Jack Williamson as a man and a bit of a mentor for a youngster aspiring to be a writer.

                    During the intervening years I've read the book several times. Sometimes I've found 'mistakes' in his science distracting. Other times I've been slightly put off by implications of the plot I missed as a youngster.

                    I believe this book can be read and enjoyed strictly as a novel, as a demonstration of early years of SF, as a fun read to pique the not-too-skeptical imagination. As an indicator of Williamson's philosophy, of the power of 'dark forces' of the universe, a reader would be looking too far, too deep. Such thinking would be an anachronism, would have made Jack's life unbearable in the small, evangelical Christian town where we lived.

                    Read this book for fun and enjoy it.

                          A reporter named Barbee uncovers a murder, and a plot that goes deeper and deeper after meeting a bewitching woman named April.

                          He soon discovers that the pair of them are shapeshifters, with the ability to alter probability by the use of floating mental webs. These sorts of people are a result of speciation in the icy mountain region of the Gobi.

                          Eventually, they ruled the globe, until man domesticated the dog as an ally and knew enough to know that silver disrupts these mental webs. They are the source for most of the legends about monsters, gods and supernatural beings like werewolves and vampires.

                          Now, there are no full bloods left, and hundreds of recessive genes must express themselves to get
                          such a being. He will be known as the Child of Night.

                          A group of his friends know about this, which is why they removed him from their presence, but they are dying, one by one.

                              From the supplier: John Berendt's book, 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' has caused controversy with its inaccuracy of the events portrayed in a work Berendt insists is nonfiction. Berendt claims the book is 99% true but concedes he added embellishments to create a folkloric quality. Many critics refuse to accept Berendt's broad definition of nonfiction.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Excellent information!.......2007-07-13

                                    I first found this book at the library and liked it so much that I brought 2, one for a friend. It is one of the best books on diet and cancer I have read!! It is very helpful, especially if you are getting chemotherapy or radiation, because it tells how to deal with the side effects.

                                    5 out of 5 stars What to Eat If you Have Cancer.......2007-04-02

                                    This is a book that I would have liked to have known about whn I started undergoing treatment for Breast cancer. Have been going through Chemo treatments since September of 2005. Has been hard to find just what I should be eating to keep my energy level up and keep me going. This is a great book.

                                    1 out of 5 stars Repetitious.......2006-04-24

                                    I have two other books that echo much of the information in this book, so I found the entire book rather repetitious, and the other books I have are much better, more organized and more entertaining.

                                    4 out of 5 stars Please add selenium as discussed below.......2005-08-10

                                    The cancer-fighting nutrient most proven to date is selenium. A daily supplement of 200 microgram of selenium, has been shown in a large placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical study -- the most prestigious type of scientific study of nutrients and drugs -- to cut the death rate from cancer in half.

                                    Specifically, a large group of people who were given each day a yeast tablet enriched with 200 micrograms (mcg) of selenium had only half the number of deaths from cancer over a seven year period as a similarly large control group who were given a daily yeast tablet containing no selenium. Yeast tablets enriched with 200 mcg of selenium are readily available at pharmacies as well as health stores across the U.S. for about $5 or so for a bottle of 50 to 100 tablets -- only 10 cents or less per day -- I do.

                                    The results of this dramatic study were published in the medical profession's own journal: The Journal of the American Medical Association. Nevertheless, most doctors pay no attention to the results. Think about that, selenium (at 10 cents per day or less) has been shown in a large clinical study to cut the death rate from cancer in half and nobody tells the public about it. Incredible! In my opinion, as a research chemist, everybody in the U.S. should take supplemental selenium every day.

                                    Other nutrients which help prevent cancer include vitamin C, vitamin E, CoQ10, and lycopene.

                                    Despite its 1996 copyright this is a great resource! After reading several books on nutrition and cancer this is the one I continue to use for ongoing reference. It is not an easy read but explains thoroughly the physiology and chemistry of food components and nutrients. This is a very useful guide and far more helpful than any other resource I've read, including "Beating Cancer with Nutrition" by guru P. Quilin.

                                    I realized this book was written YEARS ago after I received it. With medical science making such progress. I have to wonder how correct the book is now.I have a dog, Muffin that has cancer and I am desperately trying to save her.

                                    This book contains lots of healthy recipes ranging from wakame soup to eggless Caesar salad, bean burger mix to chocolate-banana shakes.

                                    Also included is a section on mail order companies for some of the hard-to-get ingredients. An excellent addition to anyone's kitchen.

                                    I love this book...It's been such a help after finding out the shocking news that my husband has lymphoma. It uses all the "right foods" nutritionally speaking, to assist with his treatment plan. The food is delicious. So much so that I'm eating healthfully as well. I've found that recipes easy to follow and quick to prepare. It would have been almost impossible for me to figure out how to incorporate soy in our diets in such a tasteful way. I appreciate the book, the tips in it and the peace of mind it's given me in knowing the I'm feeding my loved one the best that I can. Thank you!

The region's culinary originality derives from a historic union of native American, European and Mexican cultures, each contributing its own distinctive cooking traditions to produce what we know today as Southwestern fare. This cuisine is sumptuously presented in Southwest the Beautiful Cookbook with more than 200 recipes illustrated with stunning full-color photography. Noted Pheonix-based cooking teacher and food writer Barbara Pool Fenzl has gathered recipes that combine innovative techniques and dynamic food combinations with historic methods and ethnic contibutions to produce dishes as vibrant and exciting as the Southwest itself; shellfish tamales with ancho cream, quail salad with pumpkin seeds, sopiapillas and jalapeño chutney and so much more.

                                      Complementing the recipe chapters are informative essays by noted author and Southwest enthusiast Norman Kolpas, along with glorious photography that bring this wonderful region to life on the printed page. The people, geography, and history of the area are skillfully portrayed in scenic photography and richly anecdotal text. Home to such awe-inspiring natural wonders as the Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, Mesa Verde and the Sonoran Desert, this region is a land of austere beauty, rich culture and a uniquecuisine that is very much alive in this gorgeous addition to the Beautiful Cookbook® series.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Cookbook.......2007-07-09

                                      The whole series of "Beautiful Cookbooks" is first-rate.

                                      The pictures are an added bonus to recipes that are usually easy to reproduce. I bought this for my mom for Mother's Day and she likes it very much. I use my own copy frequently, too.

                                      4 out of 5 stars Beautiful, dated, but still useful........2006-08-12

                                      The styling and recipes in this book reflect the time in which they were encapsulated, but they're still beautiful nonetheless. We keep it on the coffee table in our Southwest rental house as a primer to Southwest cooking and culture for out-of-town guests.

                                      5 out of 5 stars More than just the recipes..........2002-06-27

                                      As with the rest of the "Beautiful Cookbook" series, this is more than a cookbook full of wonderful recipes -- it is a book of wonderful pictures of food, of the stories behind the people and of the traditions of the culture.

                                      I collect this series because:
                                      a) The recipes are always incredible
                                      b) The presentation is always unique & intriguing
                                      c) The recipes are simple for beginning to intermediate cooks
                                      d) The stories and information makes it more than just food, but an experience.

                                      The only "watch-out" I give is that the recipes are authentic and on occasion I have found finding some of the ingredients very difficult. However, the book usually will suggest alternatives.

                                      5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2002-02-21

                                      Not only does this book include excellent recipes, it is of coffee-table quality for its beautiful pictures and history of the southwest. Definitely try the tortilla soup, the stuffed pork roast, the fiesta shrimp, etc., etc., etc.

                                      5 out of 5 stars First Cookbook.......2000-01-16

                                      This was my first cookbook, and I loved it. I usually eat on the go, and I wanted to buy something for special occasions. Most cookbooks I saw seemed to be aimed at housewives or low-fat faddish consumers. When I saw this book, the huge pictures and great presentations convinced me to take it home, but the fun began when I began to use it. The glossary of ingredients at the end was very helpful for a beginner like me. I did my own variation of the Guacamole recipe and combined it with my own variation of the green salsa recipe for an office pot-luck. (I am a musician, I can't help but tinker with things). I even used the molcajete. (I think the variety of fresh vegetables combined with the non-blender approach really did it here). I never heard the end from everybody on how they loved the guacamole. (It was gone in about 10 minutes even though I made quite a bit). I also tried dishes I never had before, such as the jicama salad. That was great. Also, the smoked salmon enchiladas were awesome. I tried the chimichangas, but I think that was a little advanced for my level (especially since I tried to use tamale flour mix)....they did not hold together very well, although they were still delicious. I did better than most restaurants, and I've been to quite a few good ones. Too bad this book is out of print, and no, don't e-mail me 'cause I aint' selling it to ya.
