Aunt Eulonia Meets Her Maker.......2005-05-09
To be perfectly honest, I picked this book up because I liked the cover. I was looking for another mystery series to start and this one simply caught my eye. I was not disappointed.
Being the first book in the Den of Antiquity series much of this book is taken up in introducing the reader to the cast of characters and the setting. The setting being an antique district in Charlotte, North Carolina and the heroine's hometown of Rock Hill, South Carolina. Having been to both locations on several occasions I didn't need much of an introduction here. The heroine in question is Abigail Timberlake, a mid-forties divorced mother of two who owns an antique shop from which the series takes it's name. Among the other characters are Abigail's Aunt Marilyn, who claims that Marilyn Monroe stole her persona and a cop whom Abigail lusts after through the whole book. Her fellow antique dealers include a retired Army Major who has a pair of Hitler's pajamas for sale, a lady who blames all crimes in the area on the swarms of Yankees that have descended on the South, a Bible thumping Pentecostal who can't stand Abby's Episcopalian Faith, and a gay Jewish guy who's sister dresses like a woolly worm.
The mystery begins when Abigail's elderly Aunt Eulonia is murdered and only gets deeper when Abby finds out that her aunt was hiding something very valuable. One of the beauties of this story is that the main character does not consider herself an amateur sleuth at all but only butts in to defend a friend that is charged with the murder. Unfortunately she almost gets killed in her effort but she does find the real killer. She makes the discovery by pure accident and the solution came as a huge surprise to her and to me also for that matter.
Myers does a wonderful job of giving this story the flavor of the South and if your not careful you may just start craving grits. There is even a discussion of that great nemesis of all Southerners, kudzu. If you have ever been in the South you have seen kudzu, whether you knew it was kudzu or not. If you have stood still in the wrong place for more than ten minuets this vine from Hades has probably swallowed you up. There is a lot of humor in this book, like the dissertation on kudzu and I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions. The writing is clear and crisp but I did get lost in the dialogue a time or two.
I think that I have found a series that I am going to like very much but I would suggest to the author that Abby stop calling people Buster. I have never ever heard a Southern woman call someone Buster, unless of course that was his real name.
Love it, humor and a mystery!.......2004-10-16
This is a new series I will have to read. I love Abigail and the crazy cast of characters in this book. Yes the mystery is light, but it is a good and enjoyable read.
Funny Cozy.......2004-02-09
I started reading "Larceny and Old Lace " after finishing all of the books in the Pennsylvania Dutch series.
Although Magdalena and Abigail are as different as night and day, both have spunk, are funny and make great heroines for these cozy reads. Tamar Myers' style is definitely present in all its glory.
The only thing I was struggling with is the fact that one of the characters seems to change names about three quarters through the book: The slightly annoying, numbers crunching fellow antiques dealer Gretchen is suddenly referred to as Heather. Did I miss something or is this a serious oversight on behalf of Tamar Myers' proofreaders?
Despite this little flaw, I loved this book and am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
Highly recommended to cozy mysery fans.
Good Beginning.......2003-09-03
I was already reading Myers' Penn Dutch Inn Series when I began this one. The Den of Antiquity series begins with Larceny and Old Lace. After reading this first book in the series, I was hooked and almost lost interest in the other series.
I do not have a whole lot of knowledge or interest in antiques. I was not too sure if I would be able to keep up with that aspect of the story. As it turns out, you don't have to have either to enjoy this book. For antique buffs, you should enjoy the references and descriptions of the many antiques mentioned in Larceny and Old Lace. For those of us with little or no interest in antiques, Myers does an excellant job of not talking over our heads and bogging us down. The only complaint is that there are just a few too many characters so it is hard to get to know some of them. This is not all that uncommon with books that are the first in a series. If you continue to read the series, you will become more familiar with and, I think, grow to love the characters that are the major players in Abigail's life. So just be patient with this first book. The best thing about Larceny and Old Lace and the others in the series is the sense of humor. If you are like me, I enjoy mysteries that are not very complex and that will make you laugh. I have read many different series by various authors and have found Tamar Myers has the best sense of humor out of all of them. When you are done, you will remember the wonderful main characters, interesting story and laugh-out-loud humor. This is a series that only gets better as it goes. Start with Larceny and Old Lace and move ahead to Gilt By Association.
Abigail Timberlake is Funny!.......2003-08-07
This is starting out to be a funny series. I laughed out loud quite often. The mix of Southern belle with tough cookie that Abigail is is quite refreshing. Yes there are holes in the plot and some of it doesn't make sense at times, but the book is still funny. I think I may enjoy this more than the Magdelena Yoder series. We'll see. In this book, Abigail's old aunt who also sells antiques is killed with an antique bell pull (by the way there are lots of antiques strewn throughout the book). Abigail sets out to find a killer, and almost gets killed herself. Lots of laughs.

dissapointing.......2004-06-24
This is what happens when you take a good idea, stretch it over too many media forms, and attempt to milk it for all its worth. This pathetic excuse for a novel lowered my faith in Marvel. The storyline is slow, ridiculous, and frankly boring. Fine to read if you have nothing else to do. But really, bunny, stick with the comix.
difficult not to read.......2004-04-23
I cant seem to put it down. when i do, i switch the lights back on and read more. it's pact with action and energy. the xmen after a mission on another earth returned to find out no one remembers them even their friends. their mansion became a death camp, Doom was the emperor of everyone and ororo is his empress. read the book, its more than worth reading.
Good Book.......2003-01-30
This Book was great. I recomended it to any X-Men fan. It has alot of action and a good story. My only warning is once you start this book you won't be able to put it down!!
My thoughts on the book.......2002-06-29
This book ruled!. The only part that suprised me greater than Gambit's death was the ending. Get this book if you like Dr. Doom
What an awesome book.......2001-12-06
This is an awesome book. Once you finish the first chapter, you just want to read more. Once you read the first page, you become captivated to read the book. The first page is totally awesome.
Book Description
One week: That was all the time given to the X-Men to correct a universe-threatening flaw after Roma, Supreme Guardian of the Omniverse, discovered that unknown forces had severely altered the structure of the heroes' home dimension. It hadn't taken them long to track down the source of the disruption: the tyrannical Doctor Doom, in possession of the Cosmic Cube -- a device that allows its owner to twist reality and create their personal vision of a perfect world.
The X-Men failed in their mission, though, and now the Cosmic Cube is in the hands of their longtime enemy Magneto, the Master of Magnetism. Like his former friend Professor Xavier, Magneto has a dream for all mutant-kind -- but his is of a day when Homo Superior freely walk the Earth, not as equals to the human race, but as their masters.
Now that day has come, and the only hope the world has to survive the mutant overlord's reign is in the hands of Professor Xavier and the one X-Man not affected by the reality-changing powers of the Cube: Betsy Braddock -- the ninja-trained telekinetic known as Psylocke.
But unknown to any of the players in this cosmic chess match there is one final participant waiting in the wings, and he is about to make his first move....
Customer Reviews:
Awesome book.......2004-03-04
This book is extremely well written, and exciting. A major character dies (not telling which one!) in a creepy and emotional way. I would recommend the entire set of books to any reader who is a fan of the X-Men.
Also, is it just me or does the author put a lot of the locations in the DC/Metro area? I guess he is from there!
loved this book.......2003-02-16
I came into this series with this first novel. It wasn't hard to gather what happened at all with the wonderfull writing of roman. He brought you up to speed quickly and enveloped you in the book. It was very creative. I had to buy the third installment the day after I finished this one, because i had to know what happened next. There wasn't a whole lot of action, but it was enough to be percieved as a novel and not a comic book. I think that if the movie studios got a hold of this series, it would make a ton. I loved it!
This was better than the first!.......2002-06-29
This book was so cool because it showed how smart Dr. Doom really is (smarter than that cretin Reed Richards)Even in a place where no weapons can be fired Doom still makes a weapon and eliminates Roma the omniversal majestrix(The supposed protector of the omniverse) The Red Skull also one of my favorite villains defeats the highly over-rated Magneto and Prof. X and gets the Cosmic Cube! In the third one The Red Skull and Dr. Doom (my favorites) will have to fight and The Red Skull has an advantage with the Cosmic Cube, but as we've all seen Dr. Doom has a trick up his sleeve.
cant wait for the third book.......2002-04-29
I've probably read all of the X-men novels out and this trilogy is looking to be as good as the mutant empire one. THe first book set up a dictatorship with Doom and this one shows how Magneto's dream could work and shows sympathy for magneto because he only fight's for his dream. I have no idea how Roman will fix this situation because of the bleak ending. This isn't as action packed as the mutant empire trilogy but the intrigue and suspense is better.
this book rocks.......2002-03-02
this book has everything that i could want. adventure, mystery, and a large bit of suprise. get it and the first, chaos enigine

Customer Reviews:
Changed my life the day I started reating.......2007-10-09
This book is great. I was afraid it would be a lot of lame "You're special!" stuff. Instead Tony gives simple tools that change the way you think and react to emotions and events. I no longer dwell on unimportant small things and instead move forward toward greater things.
I have an older edition, I think from 1992, which was somewhat dated, since it has some humorous and ironic references to "Influential people like Michael Jackson" or the interesting story about a young kid who gave it is all that turned out to be "none other than OJ Simpson".
The exercises were quite helpful and enlightening, this book will make you understand yourself in a new way.
Good book from sketchy infomercial guy.......2007-09-21
First of all I do think this is a powerful book. This is due more to Tony Robbins ability to generate enthusiasm in the reader and his ability to organize already-published materials than it does with his own originality though.
I'm not the biggest Tony Robbins fan nowadays. I've heard him make too many ridiculous, unproven comments on his tapes to completely take him seriously. And his infomercial persona is hard to shake, but at the heart of it this is really powerful book for transformation just like he claims. It's mainly things he picked up from older self-help books and things like NLP but Tony does organize it in a usable fashion and really gets you pumped up to put some changes into effect.
I went through a hard time many years ago and this book helped me turn one of the worst experiences in my life into one of the most productive, so for that I will always have a soft spot for Tony and this book.
I do recommend staying away from his overpriced seminars though. Everything a smart and motivated person needs is already in this book. You do not need to pay a penny more to anyone over the cost of this book if you are serious about making life changes.
I'd also like to point out that this is a tighter, stronger book than his first one, and recommend a new person start here.
A Great Book That Never Claims to be Pure NLP.......2007-09-02
Awaken the Giant has it's place on bookshelves if for no other reason that it is a workable system to empower a person's entire life.
In doing this, Robbins has done an outstanding job to make change techniques applicable to the average person. His previous book, Unlimited Power, conveys Robbins' understanding of NLP and therefore can be claimed to be a book on the subject. The problem with Unlimited Power is that there countless books on NLP by much more reputable and learned authors than Robbins.
Awaken the Giant is a book that extends well past his first works and the way I see it, adds tremendous value to the field of positive psychology. How, I hear you mutter? Awaken the Giant, using NLP and conditioning techniques at its core, is a well thought out and cohesive system of change, rather than a collection of insights and techniques as many pure NLP books are. The book really focuses on taking control of your life and how to do it. It is not a book of fluffy half-theories and heart-warming anecdotes as most self help books are.
Awaken the Giant never claims to be a book on NLP, and, in fact, takes a main premise of NLP - you have all the resources inside you - and helps organise those resources so they work for you, not against you.
The book is a little long, and could have been a bit more concise, however, it is presented in a much user friendly way than Unlimited Power.
As an NLPer, I appreciate the outcome Robbins had in mind for this book - a whole system for the average person couldn't tell you the difference between a metaprogram and a submodality, but is probably frustrated with underachieving.
Real Results in the Real World.......2007-08-13
I bought this book 3 years ago. I was 35, selling cars, making less than $35,000 a year, fat, a smoker, and wondering where all the supposed "promise" I had ever went. I had a few good years in the past, but they were long gone. I didn't just read this book, I consumed it. Like Baptists read the Bible I read this book, and I started a success journal. Now, 3 years later. I work for myself (if you can call doing whatever I want work) and make $10,000 - $15,000 per month. I work out 6 days a week, I don't smoke, every relationship I have with everyone I love is 3x better than it ever has been.
I read "motivation", "self-help" and "how to succeed" books since I was 19 years old. And I did my best to follow them... not much happened in the end. This book, when Tony said "do this", I did it and there was an INSTANT change. Instant change after Instant change turned into the beginnings of a new life after 6 months, the taste of freedom after 18 months, and now unstoppable, unflappable, unimaginable success and happiness for a guy with a high school degree and never a penny in the bank before my next paycheck (until after Tony Robbins). Is this an unvarnished RAVE? You bet! I read this ONE book and applied it to my life. Now I have the life I always wanted.
The good, the bad, and the " LETS MOVE ON ALREADY!!!".......2007-07-26
My review falls some where in the between the reviews discussing the overwhelming amount of FLUFF contained in this book and the fact that Robbins' excercises can work!!! This 500+ page epic should really be revised by robbins to help readers concentrate on the true main points he is making. remove a three quarters of the anecdotes and and integrate the small subjects of vocabulary and metaphors into the bigger more overarching principles and remove about half of the crappy quotes sporadically placed in the book and you might have something worthy of 4 squares or at least 3 1/2. But no matter what read it get the brunt of the book and its message and prepare yourself to not agree and not follow through and its OKAY!!! Mind you the ever so bright eyed and bushy tailed Robbins' himself is absolutely no picture perfect poster child but must still be greatly acknowledged for the work and effort he has put in and the many lives he has empowered and bettered.

Response for the Christian Person who argued agains Robbins........2005-07-02
I have just read what this person writes regarding Robbins' ways against christianity. With all due respect, I just want to say that if you're looking to improve your life, to be confindent of your actions, and firmly believe that you're in control of your own destiny, maybe christianity is not the path for you. Firstly, christianity is a mere invention towards gaining power over the masses. Secondly, christianity is not based on the real teachings of Jesus Christ, it's all about manipulation to DISEMPOWER people, to make them more docile. When Robbins uses the word "Whatever it takes......"...depends on your criteria. As an adult, I know exactly what I'm doing when I take an action. Believe me, if you want to gain power no matter what,despite hurting people , you'll know it !!!!.....And it's a personal decision anyway.
I think Robbins is a millionaire because people like us buy his stuff. But I have to admit that he is a terrific inspirator, and that his knowledge about PNL, and other subconscious techniques are impressive. He's one of the best presentators I've heard. So I give him his well deserved credit for that.
What really strucked me hard, was the beginning of the tape, the cheesy speech about the silly helicopter, and the traffic jam because of his FABULOUS seminar.........I don't know....I was about to shut the player off, but I kept going, and I really enjoyed it after that.
My advise, again, if you try to gain power over life and destiny, forget about christianity, the church, catholics, and all their variations. The real value of the human being is not written in dogmas, but written in the souls of the people who believe in the collective welfare.
Good role model and beliefs.......2004-05-19
Anthony Robbins is the first person that I modeled that really changed my life for the better. Before him, I have read other books on psychology and self-improvement, but all those just ended up with lots of theories about things, but very little practical application in real life.
Robbins is the person who walks his talk. He takes what he learned and modelled from other masters like Jim Rohn, Robert Shuller, Richard Bandler, Milton Erickson, Robert Cialdini and many others, but he does something different and achieve far greater results than his teachers. The reason is that he takes all the techniques seriously and apply them faithfully to the n-th degree. Few of his very powerful beliefs he lives by that I have used to achieve impossible achievements are "There is ALWAYS a way, If I am committed to find one", "It is in the moments of your decisions that your destiny is shaped", "Manage your emotional states and you master your behaviours".
If you read about his story, he was 17 years old, broke and living in his VW car outside 7-11, and he joined Jim Rohn's company to start selling Rohn's educational sets. And he sold to every single person he made a sales appointment with, just by applying what he learned from Jim Rohn and others. Even Jim Rohn couldn't believe it, since nobody in the company could sell more than this 17 year old kid. And when he was broke, he set such goals as owning a castle home, big cars, being successful etc, and in 1 year he achieved them all, just by rehearsing and staying committed to his goals every day. And over the years, he achieved amazing redults just by applying the skills, beliefs, and techniques he learned. He proved to me that, if you are committed to your goals, values, and committed to doing the things you MUST do each day to be at your best,- then you can do seemingly amazing things even with simple techniques and beliefs.
This cassette is an additional companion to his book Awaken The Giant Within. Although the publisher produced this tape, which is about 60 - 90 minutes, some of the information and techniques in the book are not included here. But I love this tape as his delivery is very powerful and infectious. Get this tape, I guarantee it will help you, IF you apply them in your life. Don't be like most people who reads good books, and then say it's not good, just because they don't apply what they read. Reading and merely listening won't change your life. Applying it does! The world is filled with educated derelicts- people who know a lot of knowledge, but didn't use what they know.
Not how to get rich.......2004-01-19
Funny thing about all of these motivational speakers... they're all rich. And that's one of things that makes us buy their stuff. Though they preach motivation and personal growth, the unsaid implication is that if we follow their lessons, we'll be rich, too.
Tony is no exception; he talks on this tape about how one year he was living in a tiny bachelor apartment, and a few years later he was living in a castle and flying his jet helicopter to his seminars.
But what none of these people ever talk about--including Tony--is HOW they got so wealthy. That would be a problem, since they tend to downplay the importance of money, all the while being paid millions of dollars to do so.
My hunch is that Tony makes his money by having people come to his seminars and buy his stuff. It's the same with financial guru Suze Orman--she hasn't made her money through smart investing; she's made it by writing books and doing a TV show telling us how to invest.
One of the secrets of making money is to find a niche and fill it; if you can't find one, then you invent one and convince people they need it. Arnold Schwarzenegger did this back in the 80's; he convinced people they were out of shape and came up with the whole "I'm going to pump you up" campaign. Tony, Peter Lowe, Zig Ziglar and others have done this with our minds: convinced us that we need to get control of our lives, and to let them tell us how to do it.
That's not to say Tony's stuff is a scam; if you're feeling out of sorts with the world, this tape is indeed a valuable help in focusing on how to get back with it. But for people who have a normal level of intelligence and presence of mind, it may be somewhat unsatisfying.
One thing I've learned is that sometimes the best advice someone can give you is to stop asking for advice! I think a fair number of Personal Power converts probably spend too much time and money going to seminars and studying Tony's stuff, and not enough time simply living their lives and making their own decisions. This tape is not going to tell you how to earn enough money to buy a helicopter or live in a castle. It is not going to tell you how to end up with a beautiful spouse and kids. It will tell you to follow your dream, and offers a few basic guidelines on how to do that. But you have to do the work.
N.B. The tape ends by telling us that by following Tony's advice, you'll attract the "appropriate coaches and role models." Sounds like a plug for Tony's personal coaching services. In other words, even after you've awakened your inner giant, you'll still need help! (Hint: you still need to buy more stuff!)
Great ideas on how to set goals........2001-03-30
First off, and I can't stress this enough, you must read the book. The audio is a great modivator and a good introduction, but the book is must. keep the audio for your car just for as a reminder, but read the book. Robbins can sound silly at times, but he's brillant when it comes to modivating you and ideas of how to make the most out of your life.
This Joe Robbins Guy Is Incredible.......2000-02-26
A month ago I was washing my dishes in the bathtub, reusing junk mail envelopes, and buying frozen pizzas in bulk. Now I have grown a moustache and stride around confidently, feeling like I own the world. This Joe Robbins guy helps me forget the overwhelming impermanence of life, and the tragedy of focussing on personal wealth and contentment. I used to be be a Buddhist monk, but Joe helped me realize what a load of bunk that is. I can't wait to give him more money for his next book or tape or whatever!

Book Description
The most useful piece of cookware in any household is a good heavy skillet. Bon Appetit's Brooke Dojny and Melanie Barnard share their extensive culinary experience with this indispensable kitchen helpmate to create a collection of entrees so delicious it's hard to believe they only need one pan and 30 minutes or less to get them to the table. Serving up a meal of Garlic Shrimp Marbella can be just that easy. Same goes for Corned Beef Hash the old-fashioned way. From down-home favorites like Beer-Battered Fish 'n' Chips to more exotic fare like Curried Couscous with Chickpeas and Dried Fruits, now dinner can be ready in, well - a flash in the pan!

Quick, delicious, and never boring........2007-08-15
The meals in this book are perfect for two, and you don't need to be Cordon Bleu trained to make them. You can get a good idea about what the product will be before you make it through the fantastic photography and great descriptions. It's full of useful tips for making your day-to-day cooking easier and have better results. If you aren't into spending all day in the kitchen, but want to eat well, this is a must-have.
A Flash in the Pan is one of my favorite cookbooks........2007-06-22
A Flash in the Pan is a great cookbook. There are several things I love about it. The recipes produce delicious results. Two of my favorites are the Tuscan Sausage and Beans and the Red Snapper with Warm Mango Salsa. The recipes, while simple and easy to follow, are really nice for entertaining as well. Recommendations are made as to what to serve as side dishes. You only use one skillet or one pot. I can always prepare a very nice yet quick meal using this book. It's one of my favorites and I have a great selection of cook books!
a great cook book.......2005-11-11
every recipie is wonderful! Gave it as part of a group of cookbooks for a wedding gift and it's her favorite. The additions to the main meal are simple and appropriate.
My favorite cookbook!.......2004-01-13
My husband bought this cookbook for me, and of all the cookbooks that we tried, this turned out to be my favorite cookbook that I use the often. Reasons are many -- many dishes look fancy but are often easy to do and taste very fabulous, and they usually don't require hard-to-find ingredients. Another plus is that you don't use a lot of pans and stuff -- you just use the same skillet for everything (though you'll need to transfer some foods to a waiting dish for some recipes).
Also, though the cookbook isn't considered low-carb, many recipes are suitable for people who can't eat high carb and friendly to people who follow whole food/paleo diets like we do. Also, thankfully, the cookbook authors don't seem to have hangups about using good fats, such as butter and olive oil.
Our favorite recipes are: steak with sherried mushrooms and fennel pork chops with charred lemons. Also fabulous is the lamb with mint-garlic-caper sauce.
