Gave as a gift.......2007-01-09
And the reader enjoyed it, so I pass on his thumbs-up.
Another great entry in a great series.......2006-04-21
I am a huge fan of 'The Actors Guide to...' series. The series not only features a head scratching whodunit, but it is absolutely hilarious. Jarrod Jarvis is a "self-obsessed, sarcastic, career-obsessed former child star", it might sound like he's a character that one would hate but it is the exact opposite. Jarrod is one of the most charming and funny characters I've come across in quite a while. He also has a beefy, hunky policeman for a boyfriend, Charlie. In this entry Jarrod is off to London to do a play with an all star cast and during the opening night Oscar winner and the plays lead Claire Richard, Jarrod's one ally in the play, is murdered. From that point on the book begins to take twists and turns until a staisfying ending. The main disappointment for me was the lack of interaction between Jarrod and Charlie, I enjoyed their playful banter that was found in the previous series and hopefully there will be future books and Charlie will have a larger role. A great book, fun and entertaining. This book definitely won't disappoint fans of the mystery genre.
So-so.......2006-03-23
I bought this based on the overall good reviews and the fact that I like light/cozy mysteries. I had just finished Joe Keenan's hilarious new book "My Lucky Star," and perhaps my standards for funny escapist fiction were unnaturally high because of that. Whatever the reason, this book fell flat for me.
As another reviewer observed, it's loaded with errors and the plot is incredibly unrealistic. Normally I can live with the first and what the heck, I've been known to live with the second. I mean, I was a Xena: Warrior Princess fan, and in the Xenaverse, Alexander the Great and Julius Ceasar were contemporaries. Accuracy? Realism? Ptooey.
But to make that leap, something in the story has to take you by the hand and get you there, and this book didn't do it. We're told he loves his cop boyfriend, but we never see it or feel it. We're told these actors are good or bad, but again, we never see it or feel it. Not even on the level of a farce or screwball comedy. It's just kind of dull.
There's nothing horrible about this book, and it's a good enough way to fill an hour or two, maybe while on a plane ride or at the beach. But there are better fluffy escapist books.
Poorly researched.......2006-03-16
I wanted to like this novel. Who after all goes out to buy a novel to hate it or pick holes in it apart from literary critics... As someone who has spent summer vacations in London and has an interest in the theater (or theatre for any Brits reading) the errors on this book were ridiculous... So many of the errors could have been avoided... Michael Caine has NEVER appeared on stage in a Shakespeare (or any other classic play). His one performance was as Horatio in a television production.
In British theaters they do not have make-up stations...
So many of the errors could have been avoided by using Google or come to that even a street map. (The writer has a character walking to the theater where he is working quickly but by a route that would have taken him out of his way!!!)
The Savoy Hotel is NOT in Covent Garden!!! It is on the south side of the Strand! Covent Garden is to the north of the Strand! Where was the editor? (Was there an editor??)
It smacked of a novel written quickly by someone working in television or film who hasn't worked in a professional theater in his or her life. As a result of these errors one's attention as a reader was continually being distracted from the plot...
I hope Mr Copp learns from these disasters and writes about what he either knows, or is prepared to find out about!
Multi-city murders make for a great time!.......2006-02-23
I've read all three "The Actor's Guide to" books by Rick Copp, and this latest installment is certainly evidence that Rick keeps getting better and better with every book he writes. The humor is sharper, the twists are more harrowing, and the fun of it is like riding a roller coaster!
Greed opens a few short months where the second book ended with Jarrod watching himself in the horror movie he's sorry he ever made. When Jarrod gets an offer to star in a new play penned by a former sitcom writer for his show "Go to Your Room" he jumps at the chance, especially when he finds out he'll be opening in London!
The murderous mayhem of the play imitates life as someone in the cast ends up dead, and when Jarrod is considered a suspect it's up to him to find the real culprit and clear his name.
We travel from Los Angeles, to London, to Greece, to Mykenos for a thrill ride of witty humor and intelligent intrigue.
The best part, for me, of Rick Copp's books is the continued and deepining relationship between Jarrod and his partner Charlie, it's nice to see an important part of such a story take the front seat next to the murders, as it should be!
I hope to see more from Rick Copp in the near future, he's definately got my attention, and I'll be on the look out for more of his work.

Another good 33 1/3 book.......2005-03-30
A wonderful little biography about Piper at the Gates of Dawn by (The) Pink Floyd; aka Syd Barrett's only full album with the Floyd. The book doesn't go into much detail about the formation of the band, nor goes into deep specifics about how each track was put together and developed; rather it takes a look at the moment in time when Piper was being made with first source interviews. The focus naturally lingers on Syd and his mental breakdown, but it is not the burden of the book.
The photo on the back.......2003-10-25
I enjoyed reading Kim Dyson's review of my book and I appreciate the attention to detail in mentioning the photo on the rear cover. There's one point I'd like to clarify: it wasn't taken with a similar sort of lense to the cover of "Piper", it was taken with the exact same lense by Vic Singh, who shot the original Pink Floyd sleeve image. Thought you might like to know!
I tried to submit this without filling in the star rating box and the form would not go through, so inevitably I had to give it five!!
Sensible about Syd.......2003-10-14
Nearly everything that gets written about early Floyd these days focuses on Syd too much. Sure, he was the driving force behind the band in many ways, but there's only so much you can say about drugs and insanity before it just becomes pure speculation and it gets boring. Thankfully John Cavanagh has avoided all of that in this new book about "The Piper at the gates of Dawn." What Cavanagh has done is to interview a lot of the people who surrounded Floyd in their earliest days. Friends of the band, studio engineers, managemenet, etc. Cavanagh has managed to get some very interesting material and comments from most of these people, and what I liked most about this book is the obvious affection that everyone still has for the band and for this album. That comes through strongly here. Cavanagh brings it all together with a good strong narrative and takes you through the album on pretty much a track by track basis. There was a good amount of new information and insight in this book. Cavanagh even tracks down the photographer who took the photograph on the album sleeve, and amusingly there is a photo of the author on the back of this book, using the same type of lens. I know that not all Floyd fans are fans of this album, but it's a good introduction to how the band came into being, and why this album is still so specia.

Simply the best.......2005-12-30
I had purchased this book many years ago when I was ten. I've been a horse lover for as long as I can remember and this book caught my attention. I read half way, and to my 10 year old mind, became so frightened for the horses I couldn't finish it!! Now as I an adult I picked up Piper and its Prequel and read them voraciously. They are splendid books for fantasy lovers and horse people alike. In my view, they surpass Wind in the Willows and Watership Down even though they are excellent books as well. The plot, characterization, and atmosphere are all engrossing. And of course, timeless questions are addressed as well.
One reviewer made a comment about a small part of the story from the Heavenly Horse being incorrect in Piper. They must have misread it because I didn't detect any discrepences and I read Piper right after the first. I sincerely hope Mary Stanton (Claudia Bishop) will write a third one of equal quality. The ending left the plot open. WARNING SPOILER AHEAD: I was very disappointed that El Arat and her two daughters didn't become good again like Sycha did. That was the biggest tradgedy other than "evil must exist for good to exist." Definitely a must read however.
A Very Worthy Sequel!.......2004-11-26
More great writing from Mary Stanton - and it takes us right into the dark heart of the Black Barns this time (those that were tantalised by the pure evil of Scant and He Who Should Not Be Named in the first book will be in their element here!). Along side all this excitement there are again some real moral dilemmas for our heroes to come to terms with, giving the tale the depth and emotional punch of it's prequel.
Stanton's gift for pacing and visualisation results in some truly breathtaking sequences here - and she introduces some great, strong characters to take up where Duchess, Cory et al left off in the last book. Some relatively minor characters are also memorable and provide great comic relief - Namer and the old mare at the rodeo, for instance.
As with the first Book, i'm still gunning for an animated movie.. come on people - we've got the technology now. Let's have it! ...The only full-length animated 'horsey' feature to get any press at all in recent years was 'Spirit'. A well-handled movie of 'Piper' or 'Heavenly Horse' (that is to say.. one that sticks fairly closely to the book) would surely trample all over that, given the chance! Especially in the current climate for epic sagas such as LOTR.
[SPOILER!!>>]The day i can sit in a cinema and, over a lapful of spilt popcorn, see that moment where the Dark Lord spends ages flattering Blackjack and promising him untold powers.. only to have him respond nonchalantly 'No thanks!' i'll be a happy woman!
(..even making a mental soundtrack in anticipation..
Nick Drake - way to blue.. Chicane - saltwater... Strawberry Fields for Piper's hallucination... the list goes on...)
Or ..possibly.. could we dare to hope for another book to make a trilogy..? Somehow i suspect not as it's been over a decade - but we could always pray to Equus, i suppose...;o)
Piper At THe Gate Review by Flying-Horse.Net.......2003-03-01
In my opnion Piper At The Gate is by far the best book i've ever read. Unfortunitly I havem't had the pleasure of reading it's precessor but I ordered it in hopes it would be half as good as Piper At The Gate. Mary Stanton in an incredibly talented author and I would reccomend this book to everyone I know, whether they were horse lovers or not. Definitly order a copy of this, you won't regret it for one second.
Piper..perfect!.......2003-01-13
I read this book at least 3 times before tracking down it's predecessor and I love it! It's still my favorite book and despite the fact I missed the first half (if not for the "sequel" status noted on the cover I would never had known) I was nay lost at any point during the story. Wonderful characters on a wonderful journey that have inspired many years of writing, drawing, imagination and dreams. What a gem!
an old favorite.......2000-06-06
I lvoed this books so much i bought it at ebay for a small fortune, i HAD to have my own copy. Piper does have a few flaws - IF you've read the origonal Heavenly horse. the editor just missed a few facts - like taht it was POnys FOX that was demanded as a price, not Piper himself. Not a big enough deal to be annoyed about though, THis IS a fantastic book and theres a revistiation by our old friend Cory the collie in this book ( a version of him and even of newton the barn cat can be seen in the recent unicorns of balinor boks by the same author)
If you like Basil and dill or even the info about the dark barns of this book your in luck, in the unicorns' books, basil and dill not only make an appperance, but so does the pit and "He whos hall not be named in the dark"

fine short fantasy collection.......2003-06-15
Fans of short fantasy will appreciate this fine collection consisting of seventeen tales, all except one written in the last seven years. The stories run a wide gamut (as expected from an author who has entries in several genres) in the field so they are aimed more at a generalist. Each of the contributions is well written and fun to follow, as in most cases the fantasy elements seem real in spite of the relative size of the story. However, "The Prince of Exiles" was particularly fascinating as the narrator tells the tale of his family in Ancient Britannia especially once the reader understands who he is. Rosemary Edghill keeps her audience on the edge of their seat with this delightful anthology that will send fans seeking her novels and other works.
Harriet Klausner
Absolutely wonderful.......2003-06-12
I've already tried once to write a review for this terrific book, "Paying the Piper at the Gates of Dawn," but maybe it was swallowed up somehow.
No matter. This is a terrific, fabulous, absolutely wonderful book, in which just about every possible fantasy genre is represented, and quite a few different styles are, too.
There's "The Maltese Feline," humor and a detective send-up, all in one. There's "The Intersection of Anastasia Yeoman and Light," which shows how one woman's life could have been -- and could have been _again_. Very, very powerful, as well as oddly moving.
And yet, there's more!
There's "The Fairy Ring," truly an inspirational love story, as well as an unusual quest story/fairy tale; the Aesopian "Two Gray Horses," in which a young man does the right thing and is rewarded -- but not as much as you'd think; "Scandal," a story of swords and men -- but not quite the way you'd expect; and even a Boscobel League story, which harkens to the world "The Shadow of Albion" set up, where Silver Stick in Waiting makes the biggest mistake of his life, all to prevent his King from marrying a totally unsuitable woman.
And there's much more than this!
Let me put it this way; since receiving this book, I have read it four times. I've enjoyed it more every single time. And I think Ms. Edghill is one of the best s/f writers extant.
Go read this book already!
A story to please every appetite.......2003-06-10
"Paying the Piper at the Gates of Dawn" is one of the best short story anthologies I've ever read -- and every story here, every delightful one of them, has been written by one woman, Rosemary Edghill. It's very difficult to believe at first that one person can write in so many different styles, as there are quest stories here, fantasies, humorous fantasies, alternate historicals (of a sort), and many more. The earthshattering fantasy of "Prince of Exiles" and "Scandal" makes way for the more lighthearted "The Maltese Feline," stopping for the extraordinary fairy tale "The Fairy Ring." And there's much, much more; the Aesopian "Two Gray Horses," the alternate-history (personal) "The Intersection of Anastasia Yeoman and Light," the alternate-history overtones in "May Eve," and even a return to the Boscobel League (featured in Ms. Edghill's novels with Andre Norton, "Leopard in Exile" and "Shadow of Albion"), where Silver Stick in Waiting makes the biggest mistake of his career, in trying to prevent . . . well, you'll see. Ms. Edghill's writing career has spanned several genres, including Regency romance, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and probably more I'm forgetting at the moment. And her short story collection reflects the same broad-based appeal as her novels, being as there are several wonderful stories almost too tough to classify except as the general, "Read this!" Now, I've read this collection at least four times so far (one of these days, I might share, but not just yet), and I enjoy it more every time. All I can say is, "Read this book! You won't regret it!"

Book Description
This classic book, written 17 years ago but still selling more than 13,000 copies every year, has been completely updated and expanded by the author. "I used to drink," writes John Bradshaw,"to solve the problems caused by drinking. The more I drank to relieve my shame-based loneliness and hurt, the more I felt ashamed." Shame is the motivator behind our toxic behaviors: the compulsion, co-dependency, addiction and drive to superachieve that breaks down the family and destroys personal lives. This book has helped millions identify their personal shame, understand the underlying reasons for it, address these root causes and release themselves from the shame that binds them to their past failures.
Customer Reviews:
Good attempt, missed target........2007-08-20
I was given this book by my therapist. Immediately upon reading the book, I found it to be old-fashioned and sexist. For example, on page 4 Bradshaw says, "What a child needs is a firm but understanding caretaker, who needs to be getting her own needs met through her spouse." Further on in the book he talks about how a mother is supposed to bake pies, a daughter is supposed to do the dishes, the son is supposed to save the family from a fire, and the father is supposed to take the family on vacation.
Even disregarding the sexist comments, the book offers very little new information. For the most part, Bradshaw is pulling from other authors such as Alice Miller, who has obviously written about these subjects in a much more logical and efficient manner. Bradshaw is redundant, often commits circular reasoning, and does not appeal to the gifted individual he speaks about so often.
Powerfully Direct and Compassionately Change-inducing.......2007-08-11
I am reluctant to write this review because it is so hard to simply put into words the effect this book had on me. But in the spirit of compassion for the many people who suffer internally as I can suffer, I want to extend myself to try to say some words that might help another and draw them to this book. Bradshaw, with direct, compassionate clarity and courageous honesty, portrays the deeply painful feelings and behaviors that are the outcome of shame. He describes types of behaviors of significant people in our childhoods who tangibly and obviously, or intangibly and inadvertently, caused us to feel shame. And he depicts its impact on our adult lives and how it continues, how we perpetuate it on those around us. At a critical point in my own life, Bradshaw's book provided a large step forward for my own comprehension of how I came to feel the way I feel, and do the things I do. It is relieving and at the same time uncomfortable to acknowledge my own adaption to being alive. For any meaning to be derived from these insights requires willingness to change. Bradshaw suggests tools and ways of being that offer a path, and sites authors whose work can provide additional steps.
Bradshaw's Lasting Insight Into Our Adulthood Emotional Problems.......2007-05-13
John Bradshaw is great. It's no wonder that this book that is almost 20 years old now, and is still a great source of help for those who are dogged by unresolved childhood issues. Bradshaw has faced these issues himself, so his credibility as an author is unchallenged.
Detailed and through.......2007-03-12
This book gave a great overview of the core of a lot of people's issues, especially with addiction and how it feeds into the cycle of addiction.
Tools to Heal.......2007-02-25
I've been in therapy for years trying to get to the root of my problems, and this book nailed it. Now, not only do I understand myself, but I have the tools to actually HEAL!
It has allowed me to have compassion for my family as well as myself.
I bought this book because of the title and the reviews, but had no idea that it would prove to be so helpful. If you want to learn how to get better, I would recommend this book. My husband has even commented on how I've had fewer "episodes" since starting the work, and am hopeful that it will help me to work through my depression.

Authors English and Sampson are aiming, with The Figs Table, at the 15 best pizza recipes out of Todd English's award-winning restaurant, Figs. But to get there--poor reader--you will have to pass through one impossibly flavorful ordeal after another, starting right up front with such basics as roasted garlic, balsamic onions, and fig jam.
You will find the whimsical: Fennel, Watermelon, and Black Olive Salad with Feta Cheese, which comes of English musing about agro dolce and melon paired with prosciutto. You will find the sublime: Roasted Beets with Walnut Gorgonzola Dressing. And in between, you are sure to stop at some very basic treasures like White Bean Soup, Black Bean Chili, a lasagna to end them all, Sweet Potato Polenta, Roasted Fennel and Shrimp Risotto, and then on into those pizzas to die for.
English uses the Mediterranean like a springboard for his flavor imagination. This cookbook is his dismount. Any judge would give him the highest points possible. --Schuyler Ingle
Book Description
"Never trust a round pizza"
-- Todd English
Todd English, the renowned chef who brought you The Olives Table, shares his savory, innovative, Mediterranean-inspired food in this collection of more than 100 home-tested recipes from his award-winning restaurant Figs. At Figs, which was voted Best Italian Restaurant by USA Today and cited by Boston magazine and Zagat's as having the best pizza in Boston, there's something for everyone in the family, from Macaroni Simoni for the kids, to Portobello Mushrooms, Mushroom Purée, and Fontina Cheese Pizza for more sophisticated palates. And no one will turn down a taste of the White-Chocolate Challah Pudding with Caramel Sauce.
Everyone loves pizza, and at Figs, pizza is the main attraction. But that's not all you'll find in these pages. The Figs Table showcases Todd English's trademark style: layering flavors to create bold and soulful food, now available to the home cook. Fennel Watermelon, and Black Olive Salad with Feta Cheese makes a refreshing starter on a hot summer day, while the flavors of Roasted, Fried Pear Quarters with Frisée, Prosciutto, and Balsamic Glaze warm a cool autumn evening. Mushroom Minestrone or Black Bean Chill is filling enough to make a meal. Couscous Carbonara with Country Ham is a new twist on an old favorite; Spaghetti with Hazelnuts and Green Beans makes a simple but elegant supper. And why not try Creamy Cheddar and Spinach Polenta or the Asparagus Butter Risotto with Shrimp as a change from pasta? And of course, there's the pizza: White Bean Hummus and Asiago; Fig and Prosciutto; Clam; Spicy Shrimp Pizza with Caramelized Leeks and Tomato Sauce; Classico; even Kielbasa, Sauerkraut, and Potato Pizza with Dijon Mustard Aloli. And for just a taste of something sweet, try a Cranberry Pecan Biscotti, a slice of Torta Caprese, or the Tiramisu that The Boston Phoenix called "the best in town."
Simple or complex, sweet or savory, any dish from The Figs Table makes any meal special.

english's cook book is the best !!!!!!!!!.......2007-02-05
rated by our cook club members.
we gather together once a week, to experice and learn a new dish each time for the past few yrs,
we hv used many different cook books, but his book is always the favorite among all of us.
it is not only clearly stated " how to....", but also "simple and down to earth" food, not the fancy ones u see among other cook books.
Not one of his best.......2005-05-05
After thoroughly enjoying the Olives cookbook and Olives dessert, I was disapointed at the simplicity of this cookbook. I was expecting more eye opening dishes from the master of Mediterranean cooking.
honest, easy food.......2005-03-18
This cookbook is one of my favorites. Right now, the roasted tomato sauce is bubbling away in my oven. Picture this: fresh or even canned plummed tomatoes, sliced onion, olive oil, herbs--simply dump it all in a roasting pan, come back in an hour and you've got a superb sauce. Most of the recipes are this simple: honest, fresh, quality ingredients, simply prepared, with great results.
Todd English would not want to know how many friends have hand-copied recipes from my Figs Table cookbook--his publisher might sue me. I live near Boston, so everyone knows and loves Figs restaurant and the foodies will always spot the book in my kitchen and want to page through it. Inevitably, they will ask for pen and paper to copy recipes. I do think SOME of them actually bought the book.
In addition to the roasted tomato sauce, Olivia's chicken is another recipe I make at least a couple of times a month. I need to buy a pizza stone so that I can try the pizza recipes. I have had great luck with every recipe from this book.
You won't be dissappointed if you buy this book.
Incredible pizza crust and toppings, plus lots more.......2003-03-05
So far I've mainly made the pizza recipes in this book, but they alone are worth the price. The crust recipe is heavenly and quite easy to make. The dough balls are so light and fluffy after rising that they practically float off the board. They hardly need any working and cook in 6-7 minutes on a baking stone into a uniquely thin, light, crunchy and tasty crust.
One thing to watch out for, however, is that English specifies fresh yeast for the pizza dough. I had trouble finding that, so I used the active dry yeast commonly found in supermarkets, and after one try it worked perfectly. The equivalent measure for the two teaspoons of fresh yeast is one generous teaspoon of active dry. Also, dissolve the dry yeast in the water/oil liquid (at 115 degrees F) just prior to mixing, rather than putting it in with the dry ingredients as specified for the fresh yeast. If there's a fault to the book, it's that English doesn't help you much with substitutions like this that vary from his ideal.
The pizza toppings are imaginative and yummy, and can inspire you to create your own. English tends to be a bit minimalist, however, so we sometimes increase the cheese and some other topping ingredients.
I've also made the white-chocolate challah pudding, which lives up to its billing as "sex on a spoon". Be sure you have plenty of people to share it, however, or you'll wind up with a big pan of incredibly delicious but super-rich pudding calling to you from the fridge for days.
It's a uniquely great cookbook. I look forward to working through the other recipes.
Outstanding recipes -- great tasting and easy to prepare.......2001-02-25
Todd English provides simple, relatively easy to prepare recipes that will delight your taste buds. The pizza ideas are simple to prepare, and will inspire you to try combinations you didn't think possible. The rissoto recipes can make either a quick family meal or provide a wonderful accompaniment for a more formal meal with friends. There are also some excellent recipes for chicken or other main courses that can be prepared in less than an hour and will absolutely amaze you.
English is quite creative, and these recipes are mostly quick and easy. A great cook book.
