Archaeology: Theories, Methods, and Practice, Fourth Edition

by Colin Renfrew, Mark Dion

“Lots of great information and case studies to put things into perspective. A few things were just glossed over, and I felt it need a bit more explanation. However, overall good.”

The Pinhoe Egg: A Chrestomanci Book

by Diana Wynne Jones
- Rated 5 stars
“If you are into the DWJ's Chrestomanci series, The Pinhoe Egg is an excellent new addition to the family! The Pinhoe Egg was a great read! I really enjoyed reading about the members of the Chrestomanci castle, as well as the families in the country side around the castle. After reading Magicians of Caprona, Witch Week, and Conrad's Fate, it was nice to get back to the present day, to the castle, and see how Cat is getting along, discovering himself. I could barely put the book down. Definitely worth a read, and don't forget to check out the rest of the Chrestomanci series, as well as other DWJ titles!”

Kaplan GRE Exam 2009 Premier Program (w/ CD-ROM) (Kaplan Gre Exam (Book & CD-Rom))

by Kaplan
- Rated 4 stars
“Overall this guide was helpful, but I really could have used a LOT more practice. There is the edition of the CD (that is Windows only) and the online course. You would think that there would be enough practice, but apparently just not enough for me.

It also would have helped if the quantitative section went into more review rather than just assume that you have been doing math in the past six years.

Small quibbles, really. But it was useful in judging my progress and how I would do on the actual exam.”

Tattoo History: A Source Book

by Steve Gilbert
- Rated 3 stars
“I only read the section dealing with tattoos in Japan, and while there is lots of history, it is very glossed over. To be honest, I expected more, and it would have been nice if there was something in it about Ainu history of tattooing.”

EAST OF THE SUN & WEST OF THE MOON

by Mercer Mayer
- Rated 4 stars
“The pictures are absolutely lovely! I loved some of the stories, but they are quite plain as far as language goes. That's okay considering it is a children's book.”

Gentle Cage (Yaoi Novel)

by You Shizaki, Kamiko Sasaki
- Rated 5 stars
“Cute! Impractical, but it's a Yaoi Novel, so I guess I shouldn't be expecting that anyway. But very cute.”
