Creative and Fun learning tool.......2007-07-14

Adults and kids who enjoy art and/or nature will find the books in this series enjoyable. You can simply enjoy putting colors together to create your own world of creatures or flowers (depending upon which book you order) or you can do the research and create a realistic world of color and beauty complete with learning the different names for the fish and under water foliage or the flowers or the butterflies etc in other books. Whether used as a learning tool or just for creative expression adults and children alike enjoy these books. I keep a selection of these types of coloring books around around the house with a very large selection of gel pens and markers for my neices and nephews and they come over frequently to visit while we all sit down to color, nothing else, Though I wouldn't sit to color a regular coloring book, these and the geometric or mandrel design coloring books are more on an adult level and I enjoy sitting with them as we chat about what is happening in their lives as we color. I believe they open up more because the coloring alows them to avoid the intensity of one-on-one coversations about emotional things in their lives. Open a door, sit and color with your pre-teen or teen and just be available to talk. You may be surprised at what doors you are opening, beyond the creativity of a child and yourself.

I just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Accurate, fun pictures........2002-01-17

This is a book which is accurate in its drawings, with the official names for many, if not all, the different species. I am an adult, a frustrated artist with no talent whatsoever for drawing. I have really enjoyed coloring these pictures with colored pencils. There is a lot of small detail work in some of the pictures, which I think would be difficult with crayons, but of course, all the detail doesn't need to be observed. I have loved this book and have colored 2/3 of the pictures. It is my favorite of the half dozen coloring books I bought. There are completed colored pictures of about a quarter of the drawings, which I appreciate very much, as it gives inspiration to those of us who would like to experiment with shading, etc.

Sparky Valentine is a former child star turned down-on-his-luck thespian who's just reached the grand old age of 100. Not that you could tell by looking at the old ham, who for some reason never seems to age--or stay out of trouble. Sparky's in the midst of a whirlwind theatrical tour designed to bring a bit of culture to the frozen desolation of the outer solar system when bad luck strikes in the form of a gumshoe hot on his tail. Sparky decides to skip the outer burgs for the more hospitable environs of Pluto, but things only get worse when he runs afoul of the notoriously unforgiving Charonese Mafia. As he's making his getaway, he learns something astonishing. The famous director Kaspara Polichinelli of Luna is planning a performance of King Lear, and he's short a lead to take on the title role. Sparky wires Polichinelli that he's interested, and Polichinelli tells him the part is his. Now all Sparky has to do is find a way to scrape together enough cash to get to Luna before the play starts while avoiding a seemingly unstoppable (and unkillable) Charonese hitman. --Craig E. Engler

Book Description

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards, John Varley is truly one of the "greats" of science fiction, comparable only to Heinlein, Herbert, Asimov, and Clarke. Now the all-time master returns--with his long-awaited epic novel of life beyond the great beyond... All the universe is a stage, and Sparky Valentine is its itinerant thespian. He makes his way from planet to planet as part of a motley theater troupe, at could put the universe back to square one. And it is not terrifying. It is tempting...

Customer Reviews:

Shakepeare in Space!.......2006-12-07

In the future of Varley's book, almost everyone remembers Sparky
Valentine. Even if they aren't old enough to remember the glory years of the kid's show, "Sparky and His Gang" they remember their parents talking about it or watching old recordings. Many also remember something about allegations of a terrible crime, and may assume that Sparky is deceased, since they haven't heard anything about him in years.
But wait, here we have Sparky's autobiography, his epic story beginning
with his roots in a fifth generation theatrical family, his rise to riches, his fall from grace, and on and on through his long years of seedy outer-planet theatres, Punch & Judy shows and scams; hunger, keeping one step ahead of various planetary jurisdictions, then eventually running afoul of a dreaded crime syndicate.

This is rich, wonderful novel blends Shakespeare and Howdy Doody,
Jimmy Stewart and Errol Flynn; a heady mix of popular culture and future
history. The solar system is recovering from a mysterious invasion which
destroyed all human life on earth, but allowed off world colonies to survive.

Long time science fiction readers will appreciate the way Varley's story
incorporates one of the field's most influential and well-remembered icons.

Re-Readable fun.......2006-11-29

I have found only 2 books that I could read time and time again. This book is a wonderful story. Not my normal fare, but a surprise. When I first picked this book up I had no idea what I was in for. It picks you up and will not put you down. About once every two years I find myself re-reading this book, and each time I enjoy it so.

If you are going on vacation and would like a good time, this book is a wonderful investment of your time and money.

Not Varley's Best.......2006-09-12

The narrative is presented in a present day/flashback/present day/flashback alternating sequence, and my main problem with it is that I found all the flashbacks to be really boring, but all the present day stuff to be pretty good

Even in the good stuff, there were frequently bits that felt forced or sections where I felt Varley was just putting in someting to satisfy fans and not because it was interesting or advanced the story at all

A minor complaint would be that even though its set far in the future, any time the hero wants to make a comparison between some weird thing he encounters and something that a person might be more familiar with, he compares it to a situation or place in the 20th century, which I thought was pretty silly

If you just want something to read and then forget, you could do alot worse than this, but if you want really good sci fi get some of Varley's earlier stuff or something by a different author

Space-Theatre is even more fun than space-opera!.......2005-10-15

Kenneth (Sparky) Valentine is the fully-developed solar systems greatest actor and one of it's most accomplished con men. At 100 years young (but with no sign of slowing), when the top director of the era mounts a production of King Lear, he knows the role must be his, but to fulfill his destiny, he has to find a way to get from Pluto to Luna, defeat an unkillable hit man and put to rest a horrific past involving parental abuse. Varley throws away more good ideas than most authors ever find, and is skilled at world building, character development and language. The book is also liberally sprinkeled with laugh-out-loud moments. The boogeymen of this future are unknown aliens who long ago wiped out the human race on earth (in about 2 days)and took up residence on Jupiter. I would love to go back to find out why. Anyone who appreciates theatre will applaud how Varley shows how the more things change, the more they stay the same. I had a hard time getting into Steel Beach, but read this one straight through, as I did the Gaia trilogy. Highly recommended!

A slightly different take on trademark Varley.......2005-06-27

At first read, I didn't like this book as much as I did "Steel Beach". I'm not sure why, but I suspect it was Varley's decision to have this book entirely narrated by a male character. I've become so impressed by Varley's heroines, including Hildy Johnson, the narrator of "Steel Beach," that I guess I just started expecting them. Ken Valentine, aka Sparky, just wasn't doing it for me.

On second- and third-reads, however, darned if the little bugger didn't start to grow on me. Sparky's an actor, who really does see life as a stage and himself merely a player. He's a damn good player, but still. When we first meet him, Ken/Sparky is hiding out in the far reaches of the solar system, doing third-rate community theater and running cons. Almost simultaneously, he learns his oldest, dearest friend - and the best director in the system - is staging "King Lear" back on Luna; that the long arm of the law is onto him; and that the Charonese Mafia, a race of super-devoted assassins, has put out a hit on him. Seems like a good time to hit the road, and Sparky does, starting him on a long journey back towards Luna.

Along the way, we learn in flashbacks about Sparky's history as a child star, his abusive actor father, who seems eerily invested in living his life through his son, and the events which sent him into exile. We pass through several other worlds, such as Pluto, Oberon II (which bears some resemblance to Gaia from Varley's "Titan" series), and, of course, Luna. It's on Luna that Sparky runs into Hildy Johnson, and a post-Glitch Luna CC, picking up where "Steel Beach" left off.

"Golden Globe" is more personal than "Steel Beach", more focused on the particular life of the narrator rather than the general society of the Eight Worlds. There's still plenty of Varley's fantastic imagination on display, however, and tons of his trademark humor and cynicism. The more I read this book, the better I like it!

Good until the last third........2003-02-11

I thought that this was one of the best written pastiches that I have found (Greenwood certainly is second best)until it became so streched and so tired for the last third (the murder is revealed yet it takes countless, pointless pages to bring the story to conclusion, including wheeling out Holmes' "good friend" Sigmund Freud). I will try another just because the tone rang so true.

Sherlock Holmes saves the restored Globe playhouse.......1999-07-31

"One of the better efforts in the pastiche genre. The book is well plotted and well written. the story revolves around an American impresario's efforts to rebuild Shakespeare's Globe theatre and the attempts to foil his labors and destroy his dreams. The author - who is obviously well versed in both Shakespearean history and writings,weaves a variety of interesting and intriguing Shakespearean quotations into his plot,though which he adds to the mystery and enjoyment of his story. The climax is excellent. 'Whodunnit' is well masked until the 'final act' - both in the play and in the book. This is a good one for all Sherlockians."

Raises Interesting Questions.......2007-03-19

This 66-paged mini-magazine was originally published in 1994 by Globe Communications of Boca Raton, Florida. It sold for 99 cents in the U.S. and $1.09 in Canada.

The author wrote this little book with the hope that readers would open their Bibles and try to figure out some answers to the Biblical mysteries he poses "and begin your own Bible class" (p5). After a 2-paged Introduction are 25 chapters ranging from Chapter One "Where did Adam and Eve Go?" to Chapter 15 "Elijah's Mysterious Ascension" to Chapter 25 "The Enduring Enigma of the Gospels".

However, the author does not provide his credentials and gives no references or bibliography to evidence his claims. The reader must simply take him at his word. When he says "Many Gospels appeared during the first and second centuries, but by the end of the second century, the church recognized four" (p65), the reader does not know if he's making this up or not. Is he an historian? Then why does he not tell us so? If all of these other Gospels existed, then how was it decided that only the four in the New Testament today came to be the only ones recognized? Who decided which Gospels should not be included and which discarded?

These questions cannot be answered by opening our Bibles as they exist today and reading only what is there. The mysteries and questions that Ed Manzi pose can only be answered by an examination of the existing texts themselves (called lower criticism) coupled with an examination of the socio-historical context in which they were compiled (called higher criticism). Better authors who are hard at work to understand what the Bible is and how it came to be that way can be found in Richard Elliott Friedman ("Who Wrote the Bible?") and Professor Bart D. Ehrman ("Misquoting Jesus").
