Spare the Rod ý NEGLECT the child........2000-11-14
No home movies, no photo albums, no old songs warm myheart more than traveling through New England to some of the very places described in this book. That's where my memories lie. That's where my father took me, and his father before that.
And while I have moved away, there are two great reminders of a childhood that I can only describe as ecstatic. A picture on my wall of E.B. White. And Hickoff & Plumley's book about the best places to fish. Some I've been to. Some I was taken to by these authors.
For those of you who are not as nostaglic and wistful about New England, let me with all honesty say that this book will serve as a superb and practical guidebook. And for those who have a little something more connected to the region, this book is a blueprint for irreplacable memories.
And damned good fishing spots and tips.
Fly Fishing in Northern New England.......2000-08-09
I had the pleasure of attending a seminar by Steve Hickoff last winter. I bought this book from him at the seminar, and have used it a lot more than I ever thought I would. My family and I were on vacation at Sebago Lake in Maine recently, and the information in the book on Sebago Lake, the Crooked River, and the Presumpscott River was invaluable. The maps of the Crooked and Presumpscott rivers especially allowed me to get up early, get to a good fishing spot, and even catch a couple of fish (all before the rest of the family even knew I had gone fishing). I really like the Crooked River, it has become one of my favorites. As an earlier reviewer stated, this book gives you the information to get to the good spots, without wasting a lot of time driving around. The book also provided information on what sections of the rivers were fly fishing only, and the local regulations for taking trout and salmon. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who plans on doing any fly fishing in Maine, NH, and Vermont.
ONE OF THE FINEST BOOKS, I'VE EVER READ!!!!.......1999-04-19
FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF VERMONT TO THE ALLAGASH IN MAINE TO SEACOAST OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. HICKOFF AND PLUMNEY KNOW WERE IT'S AT. FROM THEORY TO FLIES TO PRACTICAL INFO. THEY NOT ONLY TALK THE TALK, THEY WALK THE WALK. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY FLY FISHERMAN RATHER A BEGINNER OR A EXPERT. TIGHT LINES, STEVE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
tells you what you need to know.......1999-04-18
I travel around New England regularly and usually have a fly rod in my car. It is always frustrating when I have a couple of hours of free time and I spend it trying to figure out where to fish instead of spending it fishing. This book has all you need to know to find a spot and catch (and hopefully release) some fish. Unlike some books the authors don't limit themselves to only one kind of fish or claim that every spot they talk about is going to rival the best place you've ever fished. Highly recommended for anyone who gets the privilege of fishing in New England!

Book Description
A comprehensive new guide to the best fly-fishing for trout and landlocked salmon in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Northern New England is known for its many beautiful lakes, rivers, and streamsand for outstanding fly-fishing.

With his years of experience as a researcher, writer, and editor for several national fly-fishing magazines, Klausmeyer knows what to look for in a trout stream, where to find the best stretches of water and avoid crowds, and, most importantly, what every angler needs from a good guide. Features of this thoroughly researched, opinionated book include descriptions of the best waters and little-known tributaries worth exploring, and recommendations on local hatches and fly patterns, as well as detailed access directions and listings of local fly shops. Includes local hatch charts and fly patterns. 30 black and white photographs 25 maps Index

Good reference.......2005-08-09
Looking through the Book, I will keep it with me while on road trips and when planning camping trips. I bought the book to see if I could learn anything more about my area central & northern New Hampshire. It only dedicates about 10 pages to Northern NH and everything that is listed on central NH I already knew.
Useful information.......2004-08-13
Actually, I would normally rate this book a 4 but I thought the previous rating showing a 2 was too low. I found the book to be very helpful. Not being familar with Maine, VT, or NH, I was able to quicky determine not just where to fish but where not to fish. The book is targeted more toward fly fishermen (I am one of those) and it lists what hatches are on the stream. A familar fly fisherman knows roughly what month such hatches are around. I would highly recommend this book over a Maine Gazette map which will not give you the detailed directions to some popular fishing spots.
Not to much info here..........2002-04-20
A nice collection of maps and general info, however, this title doesn't supply much more information than the NH Gazetteer. Can't speak as specifically to the VT and ME sections. Little info on when to fish, just general descriptions of how to get there and what may or may not be stocked. Really just a surface survey.
Book Description
This lavishly photographed guide showcases one of the most beautiful regions in the country--Northern New England, an area of pristine wildernesses and extraordinary landscapes. Over 150 color photos and maps throughout.
Book Description

Book Description
In the 15th century, Venice occupied the lush terra firma from Lake Garda to the Dolomites and east to Slovenia, and left its sensuous imprint all across the region. This new guide by Cadogan's Italy experts reveals all the charm and secrets of Venetia: how Palladio designed his villas, where Joyce drank in Trieste, what makes the most beautiful mountains in all the world blush, and why they eat horses in Verona.
Book Description
Now fully redesigned, this new edition contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings, along with color photographs and maps. In a country full of treasures, Cadogan leads you through the region that lays claim to many of Italy’s jewels. This sumptuous, sensuous area is full of world-renowned beauty, both man-made and natural, from the awesome peaks of the Dolomites and the lush flatlands of the southern Veneto to the World Heritage city of Vicenza and, of course, Venice, the dreamy city of romance, canals and gondolas. Take in the idyllic views of Lake Garda, the medieval castles of Trento and the volcanic clusters of the Po. This is the region that gave us Bellini, Giorgione, Titian and Tiepolo and when you experience the land in all its glory, it’s not hard to see from where they got their inspiration.

Redemption Through Sports.......2007-06-15
Nick's older brother Scott has always been the one their father focused on. Scott was in high school and had the potential to be a basketball star, while Nick was only in junior high. Their father attended all of Scott's games but didn't have time to go to Nick's. More than anything, Nick wants his father's approval and he works hard to become a better player.
Now Nick is a sophomore in high school and Scott has decided that music is his true passion. He is not going to play basketball; he is going to be in the jazz band instead. Suddenly Nick has all of the attention that he's always wanted from his father.
Things aren't all great, though. Nick's parents are divorcing and his father has moved out, so he only sees his father occasionally. And when he isn't doing well in basketball, his father doesn't seem as interested in him.
Adding to Nick's problems is his neighbor, Trent. Nick has always known that Trent was big trouble. His mother drinks, has a wide variety of unpleasant boyfriends and lets Trent and his older brother Zack do whatever they want to do. Zack has been into a lot of trouble with the police, and Trent seems destined to follow the same path. But then Trent develops a devotion to basketball. Soon, despite his problems, Trent is spending evenings on Nick's basketball court. He is doing homework and passing his classes so he will be eligible to play on the basketball team. And Nick is seeing that maybe he isn't as bad as he seemed.
I liked the complexity of Nick's relationships with his family, especially the different ways he and his brother related to their father. I also liked how Trent's character changed throughout the story.
I hated Nick's father and I couldn't see how Nick could keep looking for his approval all of the time. I didn't like Katya much, either, and I didn't see why she kept trying to force Michael on Nick when Nick obviously wasn't interested.
michaels spectacular review.......2007-01-24
Carl Deuker's fourth book for young adults is another winner filled with fast paced action and surprises all along the way. Night Hoops is a fantastic book for sports lovers and Mike Lupica fans. All four of his books were nominated for ALA best book for young adults.
Nick Abbot always thought of Trent Dawson as a punk or a thug who was always getting himself into deep trouble. But when Nick Abbot only wants to make it on the school basketball team at school. But so is Trent Dawson and Nick tries to learn more about him than his family saying that Trent is a bad influence because his brother gets into to much trouble and his mom is a bad influence. But Nick doesn't care what he hears because when the coach tells him to help Trent or sit on the bench he decides to keep his spot on the team and become friends with Trent. While trying to figure this out Nick needs to show his family the same thing. But it gets harder to do when Trent makes a big mistake and Nick needs to help Trent see his mistake.
By the end of Night Hoops you will see the friendship that Nick and Trent have becomes stronger than ever. It will keep you thinking hard about this book from front to back.
Parco's Review.......2006-05-29
I enjoyed reading this book because I have interested in basketball too. This story is very exciting because things that happen in this story is very realistic. It keeps me interested all the time by having unexpected changes in the plot.
This book is about a kid called Nick. He has a father that loves basketball and puts all his hopes of basketball into his sons, Nick and his brother Scott. His father is too passionate about basketball which results in arguements with Nick's mom and divorce. Scott has a basketballer's physiques so thats why his father spends more time training him. But Scott realizes that his interest isn't basketball but is music. So he disapoints his father. So instead, Nick is focused on being trained. He makes the schools varsity team with a friend of his, Luke. They enjoy the practices and soon this out of city tournament comes. But the school can't afford to bring all the players with them so few were left out. Unluckily, the main character of this book, Nick, is left out. So he starts to train himself and during this period. Trent, who is a known to be a trouble maker then becomes very motivated in basketball. So they practice together in Nick's basketball court. After a while, Trent changed his bad attitudes and he appologized to the coach. Then Nick and Trent becomes good partners on and off the court and the finals game came. The end of the story will be saved for YOU to explore.
This is a good book because it truly shows brotherhood and heart for basketball. Most teenagers nowadays definitely value these two things. They play a sport that they love, they play for a team and create bonds between their team mates. This applies to me too, so I see a connection between Nick and me. If this applies to YOU too, this book is definitely a good choice!
Brandon's review.......2006-03-29
I liked this book because it was a quick read and it really captured my interest. I love basketball and it was an awesome basketball story. Also, it had a fantastic ending.
In the beginning, Nick Abbott's dad makes a basketball court on his mom's rose garden. Nick's mom gets a divorce from his dad because they had been arguing a lot. Nick plays basketball on that court all summer. Nick and his friend Luke make the varsity basketball team and so does Nick's neighbor, Trent. When school starts up, Luke starts coming over and playing on his court with him. Nick has a tournament in Victoria over Christmas vacation which he can't go to because the school doesn't have enough money for everyone on the varsity team to go. Since he can't go, he starts playing at night with Trent and that forms a friendship between them. Something very unfortunate happens at a railroad track involving Trent's brother, Zack. The varsity team goes to the championship game against a team from Garfield. Will Trent go to the game after what happened with his brother? Will Nick's team win the championship game? Read the book and find out.
I think that realistic fiction readers would like this book because the things that happen in this book could really happen and if you like basketball, this is a great basketball story.
Hoop Star.......2006-02-10
The book Night Hoops is about a boy named Nick who loves to play basketball. When his brother Scott, a gifted athlete, chooses music over basketball Nick gains his fathers attention for basketball. Nick is only one of the three sophomores to make the varsity team. Nick struggles with becoming a team player when he finds out that he has to share the ball with Trent Dawson, the talented but troubled boy from across the street. When Nick and Trent begin to shoot hoops in Nick's backyard they begin to form an unusual friendship.
Some things I didn't like were at the beginning of the book when Trent was shoving papers off of teacher's desks. I also didn't like it when Trent and his brother were hanging out because when they hang out they cause trouble. Things I liked were when Nick made the varsity team as a sophomore and when Trent and Nick begin to form a friendship.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about basketball or who likes to play basketball.
