Customer Reviews:

Best Superman on cd I have heard since Bud Collyer.......2007-09-22

It follows the story pretty well. The abridgement didn't hurt the story. The author did a good job.

I waited a long time for this to be printed on CDs.......2007-03-13

Worth the wait. The dramatization isn't the best of the best, but still has re-listenability.

We need more comic related audio books!!.......2006-02-13

I though that this was a pretty cool audio book myself. I had heard that it wasn't very good but I though it was. It did have the kind of cheesy drama effects in their voices at times, but that is to be expected with any audio book.I like to read the novel books based on comic characters so I do my best to get every one there is.Now I have really gotten into the audio books about them because I can listen to them in the car. This CD pretty much follow the "Death and life of superman" novel by Roger Stern. I have read the book and really liked it. I was confused a little in some parts but after listening to this CD I understand it perfectly. I would recommend this to any comic book fan. I would also love to see more comic audio CD's very soon.

Who says comics are just a visual medium?.......2005-08-20

In the tradition of the Mercury Radio Theater and radio masters like Stan Freeberg and Douglas Adams, this CD collection proves that anything visual mediums can do, radio can do even better.

Excellent talent, flawless editing, magnificient sound effects and complete commitment to the story all come together to make this an outstanding audio experience.

Though not a Superman fan myself, after listening to the BBC and Warner Brothers adaptations of Knightfall, I knew I had to hear this as well and I'm glad I did.

REALLY abridged.......2003-03-22

This was really fun to listen to because I knew the comic book storlyine so well, it was all recap. However, trying to fit a two year comic book storyline into two audio tapes is really tough, and it would make the average non-comic book reader scratch their head and wonder what is going on.

Customer Reviews:

Very informative.......2003-07-22

Some have complained that this Tradition Book, like many of White Wolf's books about Eastern cultures tries too hard to group them all together.

Personally, I don't think they did such a bad job of it. They DID give a brief overview of various eastern religious and philosophical beliefs. And they gave a better picture than the Karate Kid, monks or ninjas. They explain the philosophy of the Tradition in a way that is interesting (and gave me quite a few plot ideas as a Storyteller).

The book itself is well written in a style that is both informative and entertaining. The details of the Himalayan War and information about Do alone have made this book well worth the price. My only complaint is the books many references to 'Dragons of the East'.

This book is absolutely necessary if you want to have any kind of Akashic character NPC or player in your game.

Bona Fide!.......2002-10-09

White Wolf has a mediocre track record with the non-european, and is particularly dismal when it comes to India, China, Japan, Korea.

But it is not damning by faint praise to say that the author of this book, and another superb book, "Dragons of the East," has single-handedly reversed this situation and given us a marvelous, fascinating, playable look into the far east.

This book is great. It has an intricate description of Do, it has really fun, playable factions with fascinating orientations solidly within the chinese philosophical framework-- not that you have to know chinese philosophy or history to get them.

Why only three stars? I have a couple problems with the book. For one, like so many White Wolf books, it includes a great deal of in-character fiction. In fact, a tremendous amount. If you want to read fiction, that's one thing, but this is a game book, and I'm tired of White Wolf doing things this way just because they have a bunch wannabe-fiction-writers, but lack the guts and coordination to say anything definitive. This book's fiction is actually good, but darnit, it's not why I spent money for it! Every word of fiction is a waste of space, as far as I'm concerned. As far as this goes, I've half a mind to reccomend Dragons of the East *instead* of this book, because it has a lot less of this sort of thing.

Secondly, I'm protesting the decision to lump all kinds of distinct movements into one group. There's the obvious problem of putting the Wu Lung in the Brotherhood-- patently absurd, but probably dictated by a committe. Then there's the fact that we're slinging Bonn, Jains, Hinayana, Zen, Moism, Legalism, Taoism, Confucianism, Shinto, all into one group and then insisting, as the book does, that the Akashayana Sangha isn't just a motley of unrelated groups. Yes, Zen and Han Fei Tzu had heavy Taoist backgrounds. Yes, some of the other groups were synthesized together in popular movements, in later periods. But, come on. There's material for at least four major traditions here. Worse than the Dreamspeakers, this is. So why assert that they're all of one thought?

Also, as the prior reviewer pointed out, what's up with the incessant barrage of terminology? It's cute, I mean, but it's a major obstacle to understanding.

But honestly, the book is great. Don't play an Akashic without it!

Fascinating, but sometimes bewildering.......2001-02-24

The first of the revised Tradition Books for Mage: The Ascension, this book is simply overflowing with intriguing information on the Akashic Brotherhood. The Akashayana were somewhat shortchanged in the core revised rulebook for Mage: They are stereotyped as nothing more than bald-headed monks or super-ninjas. That falls far short of the truth.

This Tradition Book includes detailed descriptions of the sects within the Akashayana, including the Li-Hai (rebels who find the stereotype of robed monks to be laughable) and even the Roda d'Oro, a non-Asian branch of the Brotherhood. An excellent set of expanded rules for Do is included. Further, the views and goals of the Akashics are explored: Those who see only self-torturing ascetics are failing to understand the point. The goal of the truly enlightened is not to punish the body, but rather to cease to be distracted by it.

Best of all, most of this information is given in the format of a beautifully written story which fills the book from cover to cover. The prose is breathtaking, and seeing Akashic students and masters as they confront a crisis definitely gives greater insight into the Brotherhood. Further, within the story, a dark secret is revealed: A war begun a hundred lifetimes ago, and which rages even today; a war that could destroy the Traditions.

Unfortunately, this book is not always formatted in an easily understandable manner. The dialogue includes many specialized words used by the Brotherhood, but often the meaning of these words does not appear until halfway through the book. This maintains a sense of mystery in the story, but can also be extremely frustrating. Further, the book often refers to Dragons of the East; if you haven't read that sourcebook, you will probably be frustrated by the frequent appearances of "For more information, see 'Dragons of the East'."

All in all, however, an excellent book. Its strengths easily compensate for its shortcomings. This book might have earned five stars, but I give it four stars because of the confusing layout. Bottom line: If you play Mage and you intend to have even a single Akashic Brotherhood character, this book is a must-have.

Book Description

Sex remains one of the least comfortable — and thus least discussed — topics between parents and children. Even the most enlightened parent can get queasy at the prospect of "the talk," despite its importance in helping youngsters become well-informed teens and responsible adults. Let's Talk About S-E-X is a short, illustrated book that parent and child can sit down and read together. First created by Planned Parenthood in the 1980s, and taking a simple, factual approach to the subject, the book makes that crucial conversation possible and even enjoyable by encouraging open dialogue; offering clear, correct information; and giving strategies for age-appropriate discussions that neither judge nor frighten. The book discusses feelings, what's normal, how and why the body changes, making sense of love and sex, STDs, and much more. The simple language and illustrations invite young readers to revisit the information if they have not absorbed it all in one sitting.

Customer Reviews:

Never buy!.......2007-08-07

Even if this is a good book I would never buy a book published by Planned Parenthood...an organization that supports abortion.

disappointing.......2007-02-03

I purchased this book for my 10 year old son as a basis for discussion for 'the talk'. I found the information provided therein deficient in several categories. There are actually only a couple pages that are devoted to any kind of description or explanation of the sex act itself, and those are non-illustrated and very shallow. The book is much more geared to describing male and female changes during puberty and of course, as a publication of Planned Parenthood, spends considerable time on contraception, STDs, and other topics which are not perhaps reflected in the book's misleading title. I would have returned the book but the return shipping fee would not have justified that process as it would have been more than one-half the cost of the book itself. I would recommend against this book for any purpose.

Good product.......2007-01-07

It is a good and useful product for teaching children. The kids can actually read parts of it themselves if they are uncomfortable reading it with you.

Don't knock it. Try a couple of these recipes and you may begin to wonder if the secret ingredient in some of the best barbecues, salads, sides, and desserts from your favorite down-home restaurant or neighbor's kitchen is really Tab, Fresca, or Coke.

a funny cook book..........2007-02-16

We were given this book as a gift and when I looked at the title I had to laugh! Who did ever come up with this idea? The answer is inside- Soft Drinks have a long history of being used as cooking ingredients. Sprite, Fanta and Root Beer have all been used successfully.

For a few months I have been experimenting with using them in my own cooking- mostly without too much bang for the buck! Sugar or honey works almost as well and is much cheaper... But success comes to all who don't give up! I actually have tried coke on my secret BBQ ribs recipe and my customers swear by the fact that something tastes familiar about them...

A unique book in your cookbook collection!

Fantastic, unusual recipes.......2007-01-11

One of the best cookbooks I have ever bought, I have now purchased a few of them as gifts. A particularly good recipe is for Holiday Bread and Butter pudding- my family would eat it every night given the chance!
Some very simple ideas as well as some slightly more complicated ones.
The book would probably benefit from having pictures to go with the recipes but with so many tasty or unusual sounding ideas you'll be keen to try them out anyway.

I love Coca Cola, it is my favorite soda and when I saw this book called Classic Cooking with Coca Cola I just had to buy it and it is a very interesting book and has recipes using Coke, Sprite, Fresca, etc and I highly recommend this book to fans of The Coca Cola company and their beverages! FYI: The reviewer who wrote the review about the muffin and bread cook book clearly wrote a review for the wrong product because this is a cook book for Coca Cola products!
