No plot It's more of a description of Spider-man than a story. There is no plot. I realize this is a book for small children, but I prefer there be some sort of story to discuss with my child after reading. This didn't have that. It does have interesting pictures. I'd recommend for a kid who just wants pictures of Spider-man, but not for a child you're working with on reading comprehension. Go to Amazon

Appears to be a cheap knock off. First, I rarely write a one star review. This book deserves it. While I am no expert, I suspect that this is a counterfeit. I own many Little Golden Books. This one is not constructed like any of my other Little Golden Book that I own. The cover should overlap the pages, this one has been sheared off even with the pages. The edges of cover board should be wrapped, this book has bare cardboard. Lastly, there is an mal odor when you open the book that I don't want my children exposed to. I won't be returning this book because it's not worth my time. Go to Amazon

Nephew loved it Got this for my nephew for Christmas and he loves it, he didn't want to put it down when he unwrapped it. The cover was heavy duty, the print was large, and the pictures were colorful. Go to Amazon

Five Stars My Grandson's love it Go to Amazon

Great book! Great price for the book, my 3 year old step daughter law loves it. Go to Amazon

We love Little Golden books We love Little Golden books! Our daughter has just discovered super heroes and these are excellent age-appropriate stories to help develop her interest! Go to Amazon

Arrived on time and in great shape. My 3yr old loves this book Arrived on time and in great shape. My 3yr old loves this book, of course it helps that he has a current obsession with Spiderman. Its a good length and has great pictures. Its the story of how Spiderman came to be so I feel its age appropriate. Go to Amazon

a little boring. My kid liked it the first couple times ... There’s no story. The book is just an introduction to Spider-Man and some villains...a little boring. My kid liked it the first couple times I read to him. Go to Amazon

Unbelievable quality for the price! SPECIAL NOTE: For U.S. customers purchasing the illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, you will notice the text has NOT been converted to the "Americanized" version of the original U.S. releases (with the exception of changing all "Philosopher's Stone" mentions to "Sorcerer's Stone"). So far, I have noticed the following: (EU/US) dialling / dialing; Shan't! / Won't!; sherbet lemon / lemon drop; motorbike / motorcycle; and dustbin / trashcan. For many purists of the series who never liked the idea of modifying the original text for an American audience, this is a good thing. Good or bad is naturally for each reader to decide--just know, if you plan to read the books while listening to Jim Dale's audiobooks, you'll notice a few superficial differences. Go to Amazon

Beautiful Book but mine's already falling apart ;-( The book itself and illustrations are absolutely, incredibly extraordinary. In that way, this is 100% a 10-STAR book and is absolutely to die for for Harry Potter fans. I was ravenous to get my hands on my copy as soon as it was delivered this morning, but was quickly disappointed. Go to Amazon

Big and beautiful The numerous illustrations are a wonderful addition to a brilliant book and will bring the story to life for young readers just growing into the series. Be aware, however, that books in this new illustrated series are quite substantial in size and weight, with pages so wide that column format is used for the text. I imagine that later books in the series will rival encyclopedias. Prepare your bookshelf accordingly. Go to Amazon

Utterly amazing artwork!! My husband tried to surprise me with this order, but we share the amazon account ;) Go to Amazon

All aboard the Hogwarts Express! This book is absolutely breathtaking. Every page is filled with illustrations. It's just so beautiful. I love how they've come out with these books with the 3rd one on the way next month. It's an interesting take on the classic book from JK Rowling. It really has you picturing exactly what's going on with each page. Go to Amazon

Beautiful Artwork This is amazing to look through. The art is stellar and the lore is captivating. While not all faeries were given proper descriptions, you could clearly tell their characteristics just by looking at them. There is some partial nudity, but nothing beyond that. The book is pretty big, so it can't actually fit in my shelf; that's a bummer. Go to Amazon

Gorgeous art, thin writing. Froud's art is, as always, tremendously beautiful. There is a uniqueness to his work which makes it exceptionally poignant and unforgettable. He, along with Tony DiTerlizzi, is one of the only artists I know of that have such talent. The reason I'm only giving this four stars, though, is that I was expecting it to be more of a field guide of the Faery world. It's more a collection of Froud's art than anything else. The writing is rather light, and not very fleshed out. Some images don't have an explanation as to what they are representing, and when they do, it is often only a few lines that doesn't tell the reader much. If you're more interested in the art aspect than the lore of the Faery world, or a huge fan of Froud like myself, then buy this book! Go to Amazon

Perfect! Ordered this and got it promptly shipped. Was absolutely beautiful, the book in perfect condition. I adore Brian Froud's work! I would suggest that if you're buying this for children that you understand that many of the faeries are in the nude, so if you are a bit more on the conservative side, please take that into consideration. My family has excitedly perused the pages and begun their journey on learning everything from water fay to faeries named Grig, and love the artwork exceedingly. Mr. Froud's enchanting prose to accompany the fanciful and whimsical artwork, allowing us a peek into his mind and state as he created this world of faeries for us, has been really enjoyable. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more of the world of the Fae! Go to Amazon

A Peek Inside Mr. Froud's Back Garden Brian Froud has found his place an authority on the fae for good reason. This was a fun read with numerous depictions of the faerys populating Mr. Froud's world. I had to take one star because I began to notice that so many of his faery's looked so much alike. After all, if they each have the own agenda and culture why would they mostly have the same body type and facial features. I decided to accept it as a slice of faerys inhabiting Mr. Froud's world. Go to Amazon

One of Froud's BEST Masterpieces! This book is sensational. I'm a huge Froud fan to begin with, but this book is by far...my ultimate favorite. It is put together so ingeniously, the writing and images leave you with a haunting feeling that is reminiscent of childhood imagination and pure Faery Magic. Will induce a case of the goosebumps each time you flip through it's pages, if you believe in Faeries, then you'll know what I mean ;-) Good Faeries/Bad Faeries is presented in such a unique and imaginative way that you cannot help yourself but to get lost within it's amazing World of Wonder. Go to Amazon

Delightful Surprises And Gorgeous Illustrations I love the art of Brian Froud and this book does not disappoint his fans or readers who seek to learn about the many types of fae-beings he has imagined. His voice even alternates in his writing with the voice of faeries from the realm. The book defines Good Faeries and Bad Faeries and there is a section in the middle that delights! The Good Faerie can be turned upside down to see a completely different (probably bad) faerie, and vice versa as the Bad Faeries section approaches the Good Faeries. There is some nudity among his fae-beings. The drawings and paintings are beautifully rendered and informative. Go to Amazon

I love the artwork - it brings back alot of happy ... I love the artwork - it brings back alot of happy memories to have this book again. I had it years ago when I was 14 but my sister let a friend borrow it and I never saw it again. So it's exactly as I remember. Love it! Go to Amazon

An amazing book filled with mysterious faeries both good and bad An amazing book filled with mysterious faeries both good and bad. The art work is beautiful. The folklore makes you think of a time of magical beings. This leads you to wonder … Could I see them today? Are they there just beyond the veil? Go to Amazon

Top Notch Monster Manual! I am an old school D&D gamer/Dungeon Master who cut his teeth on the 'Red' basic set and then moved into "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" (1st ed.), all the while trying other stuff like Star Frontiers and I.C.E. By the time 2nd edition came out, I had moved on. Just recently, I decided to get back into it and started up a 1st edition campaign. As the new 5th edition material came out, I bought them initially 'out of curiosity' and have now started a 5th edition campaign. I may move exclusively into 5th edition because of the common sense ideas, ease of play, and stunning packaging. Having the basic set of rule for 5th edition available on line for free makes it easy for new players to prepare before committing to buying anything. Go to Amazon

A great-looking tome of dangerous (and fun!) monsters for all levels of play. A neuronphaser.com review. Go to Amazon

Attention Druids - Required Core Book Well constructed as with the other 5E books I've received from Amazon thus far. The Monster Manual is pretty much required for DMs and heavily recommended for any players rolling a druid. It has all the stats, descriptions, and challenge ratings for any beast Druids would like to transform into and increases the druids role play value tremendously. Surprise your friends by transforming from Bugbear to Quaggoth Spore Servant! Go to Amazon

Five Stars Great references for creating scenarios and campaigns. Must have IMHO. Go to Amazon

He liked it. This was a gift for my son. He liked it. Go to Amazon

A Dungeon Masters Guide -- IN SPACE! To best explain this product, especially compared to the other hardcover rulebooks (i.e. "Total War," "TechManual," and the "___ Operations" series), I have to draw parallels to the Dungeons & Dragons franchise. If the Technical Readout books are Monster Manuals, and the abovementioned hardcover books are the Players Handbook and its expansions, and the Field Manual / Handbook series of books are like the Draconomicon and other books that focus on specific realms and types of enemies, then this is a Dungeon Masters Guide with a different name. Go to Amazon

Every time I re-read this book, I feel like I should put a quarter in a slot Thing about writing a novel like this as one's debut effort is that, from here on out, there's nowhere to go but down. To wit, Armada. Ernie Cline's Ready Player One impacted me the same way that Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games did. It's compulsive reading. Cline spins his dystopian quest adventure with supreme vitality and brio and unabashed adoration of all things nerdy. Cyberpunk collides with pop culture nostalgia, and how could you not get nerd out about a book that celebrates iconic elements of the 1980s? I mean, Family Ties is referenced! Oingo Boingo gets a mention. Go to Amazon

Intensely imaginative -- a fantastic fairy tale for the online-gamer / VR age Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings as a 'myth for the machine age.' I think RP1 is an imaginative fairy tale for the online-gamer / virtual reality age. And the picture isn't pretty. I'm not talking about the cliche'd 'environmental apocalypse' of the outside world that the gamers actually live in, but the way that VR *is* their reality, and, to the characters, and in a very truthful way, the only reality that matters. Go to Amazon

Fun Adventure My dad out of all people suggested this book. He is awesome. I am a 80`s and 90`s child, grew up on Atari, Nintendo, Sega, PC, and currently PlayStation. I immediately connected with this book and upon reading chapter after chapter gathered that the author is a video game/PC enthusiast. His lingo, and style are unique yet he can tell a story to your average dad such as mine whom has little or no experience dabbling with gaming. Go to Amazon

Narrator, Wil Wheaton, was awesome! I loved this audiobook. Eureka! I finally found one: an audiobook that I loved. I mean what 80’s baby wouldn’t appreciate an audiobook narrated by Wil Wheaton loaded with 80’s pop culture references to boot? Fun Fact: my favorite Wil Wheaton movie is Toy Soldiers. Go to Amazon

If you're looking for a Brandon Sanderson book to start with, this is the one that I recommend. Warbreaker is, thus far, my favorite book written by Brandon Sanderson. Go to Amazon

Another Fantastic Book from Sanderson. I have Sandersonitis – Symptoms include bleary eyes from reading too long or staying up too late, knocking yourself in the head for missing the clues and being blindsided, pain in your arm from holding your book or kindle for hours on end, excessive potty breaks at work to sneak a chapter in, tears randomly falling down you face for character deaths, swearing at family and friends with words like Colors, Stormfather, Harmony’s Arms or Lord Ruler, laughing out loud randomly at clever side character banter and randomly trying to use magic from these books because I’m sure the physical laws of this world might change at any moment and I’m sure I could easily be an Awakener, Allomancer or Shardbearer once they do. Go to Amazon

This book was so amazing! I listened to the audiobook and I’ve never ... Oh. My. God. Brandon Sanderson is a genius! This book was so amazing! I listened to the audiobook and I’ve never listened to one before, and this was a great introduction. I loved the plot and the magic system was extremely interesting. The characters developed and changed as the book went on, and if I had to choose a favorite character I don’t think I could do it because I love them all so much in different ways! I actually laughed out loud at parts of the audiobook because the dialogue between some characters was so witty and it was just…I really have no words that can describe how I feel about this book right now! Go to Amazon

Mr. Sanderson I am an avid lover of your books, and I would love it if you would give this, what I consider to be one of your overlooked novels, a sequel. The characters confront their own prejudices and realize that they should not be so hasty in judging those they disagree with, an extremely relevant theme in the world we live in today. I would love for you to explore this world in even more detail, and hope that you never stop writing amazing books that provide both entertainment and cognitive growth. Go to Amazon

This illustrated version has formatting problems on my apps The content of this illustrated book is very good, following the treasured Dark Tower story of Stephen King. Unfortunately, there are pages I can't read because the pages are too small on my Android tablet. Those I can read are wonderful. There is no sizing ability that I can find for the pages except for font size, which has no effect on images such as these. Go to Amazon

The end of the beginning We faithful readers of the Dark Tower books have always wondered about the battle of Jericho Hill, which was mentioned many times in the novels but never gone into in depth. What we did know was that this was a climactic battle, and the forces of evil defeated the dedicated band of gunslingers, leaving only Roland to survive. There was also mention of the horn of Arthur Eld, without more explanation. This excellent graphic novel fills in the details of this sad portion of the Dark Tower saga. Go to Amazon

Fun Read Very good but not the same as the books I read so long ago. Still a fun read. Reread all these after seeing the movie. I didn't like the movie. These books would be very difficult to put on screen without losing the story. The ending of the book seemed more of a cop out than a real ending but it is Mr. King's story to do with as he wishes. Go to Amazon

Another great episode of the Dark Tower story! I pre-ordered this 5 months before it was available for sale. As soon as I received it I opened my Amazon package and read the whole thing. I thought this was another great chapter of the Dark Tower saga. As the entire DT story goes it's not the typical western, sci-fi, adventure, action, drama, so on type of story and it's best attributes are it's flawed characters, deep seeded story line, the underlying community feeling, gritty reality, and fearless dives into the tumultuous world of Mid-World. This chapter did not disappoint in the least. I immediately pre-ordered the next hardcover bound edition to come out in January 2011 and can't wait to see it's interpretation and continuation of the story. I'm just waiting for the DT graphic novel that ends with the words "the man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed" to truly cap off a great adventure! Go to Amazon

Love Stephen King Love Stephen King. However assumed since it was book it would be written in book format. Not so, still written in comic format. I should have read the explanation of product better. Still suggest for Stephen King avid readers. Go to Amazon

At last, a telling of this tale. As a huge fan of the Dark Tower books, I was very interested in this 'prequel'. Understanding that it is a graphic novel, and that it is based on King's characters--but not written by King--it dealt with the settings, story, and characters well enough. I'll certainly be ready volume 2. Go to Amazon

DT:BoJ Another wonderful read on the continuing journey of Roland and his get, very sad ending, but the faithful reader knows what is in store for those that wronged him!!! Go to Amazon

An emotional journey that fills in the details of this sad part of the D it gives us the background knowledge to more fully understand the Dark Tower mythology, particularly the Battle of Jericho which has many references throughout the series but little explanation until now. An emotional journey that fills in the details of this sad part of the D.T. Saga Go to Amazon

Wonderful! After finishing the audiobook for the previous book in this series, Dragonfly in Amber, I found it very hard to move on to something else. My mind was still with Jamie. Even though I had planned to take a bit of a break between books, I ended up waiting only a couple of weeks before starting Voyager. I remember falling in love with this book the first time I read it and I am happy to say that I still am in love. Go to Amazon

Unexpected situations - New friends & enemies The book Drums Of Autumn opens in Charleston, June 1767 with scorching sun and new troubles to overcome. Claire and Jamie drench the reader with a wide-screen description of new places with their travels. The humid weather and torturous journey, plagued with escaped criminals, theft, and humbled introductions, lands them on the doorstep of Jamie's aunt from the McKenzie side. Then chapters bounce forward to the late 1960's for a bit, and the other story thread of Brianna and Roger, not quite the mirror image of her parents' love story, however similar in some ways. The influence her parents had on her relationship in itself could be a long discussion. Go to Amazon

Good Addition to the Series I never thought I'd be the kind of person who would get swept up in a series of thousand-page epic fantasy adventure book, but here I am having finished book #4, mad that I have to wait a couple of days until the next installment arrives in the mail. I spoiled myself a little for Drums of Autumn, not so much on its contents, but I became aware that many fans consider this to be one of their least favorites, and one of the slowest of the books. So I went into it with a bit of a bias that I have to say was happily proven incorrect. For me, this book almost lived up to Voyager, and was miles above Dragonfly in Amber. Go to Amazon

Awesome Breathtaking action on the mainland is the focus of this part of the Atevi Saga, long may it continue. I read the whole thing in one day, gulping it down. This seemed very short compared to other books in this series. However, there are a number of threads intriguingly left to explore. Go to Amazon

A little less tea and a lot more action I love this series, but this one was sadly lacking the normal action and political intrigue. First, if you are new to the series, don’t start here. Go to the first one. Too much happens to start part way through. It would be like starting GoT on book 3 - don’t do it. Go to Amazon

Another good volume in a legendary series If you've read the previous 18 volumes in the series (which is 6 completed sets of trilogies), then nothing in this first volume of the 7th trilogy will surprise you. Cherryh, as she usually does expertly uses subtlety of language to convey much with few words. As is the case with many previous volumes, little action actually takes place - except for one notable scene at the end of the novel. What action there is we are often told about after the fact learning about it as the main characters do. In that sense, the series has become somewhat stale and predictable although still well written. Go to Amazon

Please pick up the pace soon, Cherryh. I love Cherryh's work but I'm getting very frustrated with the pacing of this series lately since not much happens here. Despite the massive possibilities for conflict and drama in Bren's work in Mospheira, it's still mostly been a tea party for him. Until a section of this novel, the worst thing he has to face is a hostile discussion with the linguistics department he no longer works for or has to listen to. Just judging from current events in most parts of the world right now, the Heritage Party should be giving him, the kids coming down from the station, and the president so much more trouble but we don't hear any of it, not even an antagonistic op-ed on TV. I hope it turns out to be a plot point later that Bren was kept isolated from what was actually going on. Go to Amazon

Fascinating Guide to the Long Evolution of a Super Hero I'm a life-long comic collector and I'm giving this book 5 stars from that perspective. I'm also a life-long journalist and a promoter of preserving classic newspaper comic strips. So, my work in this area, over the years, has been to try to spread the word about classic comics in particular. If you are reading this review, then you already understand the enormous importance of Wonder Woman in this genre that, today, is exploding once again. Go to Amazon

"THE" book to get if you're a Wondy fan! I am SOOO happy with this. I was worried that it wouldn't contain any mentions of DC Rebirth, but it does! Her "new" Rebirth origin story is still unfolding so the book only mentions hints of what's to come but they do show her new post-rebirth costume. The book touches on EVERYTHING, including all the alternate timelines, reboots and re-tellings. Very comprehensive. Go to Amazon

Good Book Very good way to show her history and characters Go to Amazon

Five Stars Like discovering Wonder Woman all over again. Not to be missed by fans. Go to Amazon

Five Stars Cool book for the Wonder Woman lover! Go to Amazon

Great Author Exciting, new information and full history. Love this Author Go to Amazon

A Fantastic Guide to the World of Wonder Woman!! We have been seeing a lot of these types of books released in recent years and IMO this is the absolute perfect time to release such comprehensive guides for many of the various comic characters and even various teams like Justice League or Suicide Squad as there are a LOT of new fans of these characters and teams due to the various films that have been released or are soon to be released. On top of that, things have become very confusing in recent years with all of the various reboots (Marvel Now, DC's New 52, etc) and the creation of Legacy Heroes like Jane Foster Thor, Kamela Khan Ms Marvel, Dick Grayson Batman, Scott Lang Ant-Man, Miles Morales Spider-Man, etc. Guides like these are great for people who want to learn about the complete history of a particlar character, and these can be just as useful for long time comic fans as they can be for people who are new to comics as the history of many of these characters is pretty extensive (75 years for Wonder Woman), thus it becomes difficult remembering all of the various historical aspects of these characters. These books are perfect for brushing up on one's historical knowledge of these characters. Go to Amazon

Great book Very good book awesome pictures and info Go to Amazon

Great start to a series & worth the time & money I was hesitating on reading this at the first because so many reviewers claiming how dark & unlike Nora the writing was. But I broke down & paid the $15 & began reading it. Go to Amazon

One of many I know this review will be one of many, but I have a few things to say. I have always been a huge fan of Nora Roberts and her alter ego, JD Robb. Roberts has a cadence to her writing that is very specific. Before this book I would have said that I could pick her books out of a crowd. Year One, however is very different. I'm sure I'm not the only one who read this to whom this applies, but I also have quite an obsession with apocalyptic fiction. Give me a good plague, weather event, nuclear war or zombie apocalypse and I'm in heaven. This book is a fabulous mixture of both Roberts' trademark magicks and apocalyptic fiction. What astounds me is that she has the structure, characters and cadence of that genre down pat. I imagine that she also reads a lot of it. And yet with the supernatural element, it's like no other plague book I've ever read. It is a brilliant hybrid. Some of Roberts' long time fans will hate this book, but I not only love it, I'm dying for the next book. Year Thirteen maybe? Go to Amazon

Darker content SPOILER ALERT: this review contains information gained only from finishing the book. Go to Amazon

Astounding Book Nora Roberts rarely fails to entertain, and ‘Year One’ is a nearly flawless book. Following the accidental infection of patient zero, the dance of death consumes billions of people, nearly wiping out humanity. Go to Amazon

Not a must read Not at all what I expect from a Nora Roberts book. Her last two books now have not been something I would read again. I will not be reading any more books from this series. Characters vague. Not really likable. Hard to get into the book. I had to read certain paragraphs again because I couldn't understand who was talking...uh! I usually take less than a day to read a great book, but this book I started reading it the first day and read about 20 pages and put it down and didn't pick it up for 3 weeks. 3 weeks! When I picked it up again, I really didn't want to finish it. I did though. Took me another week to finish it. My recommendation if you want to read something that was like the better books of Nora Roberts, switch authors and read an author named Jill Shalvis. Jill's books are so much better and I am now a huge fan! No longer a Nora fan. Sorry. Go to Amazon

The Book of M is a brilliant story about a world where for some unknown reason ... The Book of M is a brilliant story about a world where for some unknown reason people's shadows start to disappear. It's discovered that shortly after someone loses their shadow, they start losing memories. Memories like how letters make words, or how a doorknob opens a door, or that eating food keeps you alive. The world spins into chaos and we follow a cast of honest, grounded characters who try to navigate it the best they can while keeping an eye on their own shadow, or a grip on their fading memories. Go to Amazon

Epic and original Some minor spoilers follow. Nothing major. Go to Amazon

Excellent. THE BOOK OF M's story is propulsive, mysterious, and strange; the language is delectable. Pathos is counterbalanced by humor; the characters are drawn with depth and nuance. Rarely have I read a book that so delicately interweaves the best aspects of both genre and literary fiction. I can't wait for her next one. Go to Amazon

Apt takeoff, smooth flight, rough landing Engaging, with appropriate characterization and intriguing setting. The new take on an apocalyptic state-of-things lends itself to interesting emotional dynamics. Go to Amazon

Couldn't put it down. Worth reading Couldn't put it down. Found myself becoming deeply attached to the characters. I have re-read sections of the book. It is superbly written. It's believability is a credit to the author's talent. The images & the feelings are so vivid as is the danger especially since you know that this isn't a predictable story & no character is safe. Go to Amazon

Thought provoking If you are looking for a thought provoking book to get lost in, I highly recommend this book. I read it straight through because I genuinely couldn’t put it down. I loved the action, but more so appreciated how I am thinking of the story and characters days later. There was beautiful character development in this story, as well as deterioration. The author did a wonderful job of capturing a unique take on a dystopian/post-apocalyptic future. It begs a universal question about the ones we love, and how an undeniable part of that is physical. The craftily built surprises were also a delight and were very well done. Go to Amazon

One of the best books ever The Book of M is easily one of the best novels I have ever read. Ever. In a nightmarish version of our world, a mysterious plague begins to strip people of their shadows ... and memories. We watch the disaster unfold through the eyes of Max and Ory, a husband-and-wife couple who have hidden themselves away in a desperate attempt to survive. But when one of them falls victim to the terrifying pandemic, the other must go to extraordinary lengths to chase the dream of a future they once shared. I have only one word of warning: do NOT start reading The Book of M the night before an important meeting. Once you dive into this world, you won't be able to tear yourself away from it even to sleep. Go to Amazon

Really Good Good fresh take on apocalyptic story. Sounded a bit hokey at first but a riveting read and enjoyed seeing it through to the end. Would make a great trilogy, movie, tv series... Go to Amazon

What do children and Batman have in common? Lots!! Wonderful! The book is two stories, side by side. One is a young boy getting ready for bed. The other is Batman, getting ready to save the city from crooks. Go to Amazon

Yes the book is very very text sparse but the illustrations are great and the lack of text lets you color the story with your own narrative. Go to Amazon

Perfect! I bought this book for my best friends little boy who just turned 5! We celebrate his birthday this weekend and I can't wait to give this to him. His favorite super hero is Batman of course. I looked through the book as soon as it arrived and I love it! Perfect for his age range and beginner readers to read. Love the comparisons as the book reads inbetween batmans and the boys night time routines. The bedtime checklist that it has at the end of the book is great too! Artwork is great as well. :) Captured a little boys imagination perfectly! Go to Amazon

Great! This has become my son's favorite book. He loves batman and absolutely insists on this book each night. Very Very happy with this purchase. He can't read, but he knows the book by heart. Go to Amazon

I love this book I love this book! We bought it at our local comic book store for our kids and they love it. It has very cute illustrations. On the one side it shows a little boy getting ready for bed with Batman on the other side. It is simple and sweet. We purchased a second copy throughout amazon to use at a baby shower for guests to sign for the baby. Go to Amazon

Cute book for any young Batman fan My 3 year old loves Batman. He loved this addition to his bedtime book collection. It pairs the story of a young Batman fan with the comic strip of Batman marrying the bedtime routine with a Batman story. It is a cute story for any little Batman fan and was a big hit in our house. Go to Amazon

Great book Great book with beautiful pictures! It was a huge hit with my 4 year old nephew. The story shows Batman fighting crime alongside the story of the little boy getting ready for bed. Great bedtime book. Go to Amazon

Do you or your small child like Batman? Are you looking for a nighttime book? This is for you! This is such an adorable book, and a wonderful addition to any little Batman fan's book collection (or for those trying to share their love of Batman to a child!). You won't be disappointed, highly recommended! Go to Amazon

A Must Read for every Princess Bride Fan I've grown up watching the movie roughly 396 times a year and will always deem it as my all-time most favorite movie ever. So naturally, when I found out that the movie was actually based on a novel, I had to have it. My biggest fear was that it would be a watered down version of the movie with less humor and wit, or that the movie took the best parts and the book would be mostly unsatisfying filler with the occasional recognizable humor. I couldn't have been more wrong. Go to Amazon

Text Missing in this Edition of a Beloved Book Please know that I love this story, I love this book, and I love the movie. To me deserves 5 stars. But this particular ebook edition has an editing error and I don't know where else to report it. There's at least a paragraph of text missing on page 194. It's the part of the book where the "editor" of the good parts version interjects to explain that he wrote a reconciliation scene between the lovers because there is no such scene in the unedited original. A significant portion of that explanation is missing from my copy of the ebook. The missing segment occurs mid paragraph too, which makes for an abrupt and incoherent shift. Here's a transcript of where the problem is: Go to Amazon

I'm Glad I Waited.... I've been trying to get a quality, and attractive, hardcover version of this book for years. I've simply always been a day late and a dollar short. For once that worked in my favor. Go to Amazon

A beautiful edition This is a beautiful edition of this book. The Princess Bride is Easily one of my favorite books. A number of years ago I discovered it was a book, I had honestly just thought it was a movie. I received the book for Christmas and has finished it by December 27th. If you're a fan of the movie and are feeling skeptical, fear not. The book and the movie were both written by William Goldman and, I woukd say, are equally enjoyable. The book had me laughing, in tears, and on the edge of my seat. I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story. It's action packed, romantic, funny; really I could ask for no more. Now, this specific copy I purchased as a gift for my brother, who is also a dedicated fan, and he loves it! The book really is beautiful and it has wonderful illustrations. It made an excellent gift. Worth every penny. I will try to get it from him to add photos at a later time. Go to Amazon

The Beginning of One of the Most Epic Fantasy Trilogies of Modern Times Brandon Sanderson, the author chosen by the late Robert Jordan's widow to finish his *Wheel of Time* series, was chosen based on the fact that Jordan's widow took a liking to his previous work. One of those works is the *Mistborn Trilogy*. To be sure, calling it a “trilogy” is now misleading, as Sanderson is writing other books in an attempt to flesh out a “history” of his fictional world. I guess eventually it will be called the “Original Trilogy”, or something to that effect. I digress. The first book in this world is the first of the original *Mistborn Trilogy*, *Mistborn: The Final Empire*. Go to Amazon

Pretty good, quick, fun fantasy read. Not a bad book to get back into the fantasy genre. It took 20 pages or so for me to get truly interested in the universe, but it didn't take much long after the heist crew got together for the book to become pretty enjoyable. Go to Amazon

Entertaining and easy to follow, with twists and interesting characters I'm not quite finished with the book, about 2/3 through. Very interesting development of the future world and character attributes. I've read a lot of fantasy, but this is different. A Lord Ruler, a noble elite, and slaves comprise the cast, but the Mistborn have some interesting powers I haven't encountered before. Also, at this point in the story, some other characters, with different powers, are being revealed. The plot is intriguing and has some twists that are unpredictable. The story lines are easy to read and characters are easy to follow, but definitely not one-dimensional. Sanderson is a great writer, and this book is less complex than others of his I've read. I listed it as dark, but there's a hopeful aspect to it if everything goes according to plan, and some comic relief here and there. The dialogue is especially fun to read, and really fleshes out the characters. Truly entertaining and not as much work as some of the other EPIC fantasy I've just finished. (Steven Erikson's Mazalan series wore me out, and I don't know when Martin will ever finish SOIAF. This book is more along the lines of Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow, Thorn in complexity, but it's an entirely different story.) Go to Amazon

A great book, expected nothing less from Sanderson. I read and fell in love with Brandon Sanderson's book Warbreaker and I was told that the Mistborn trilogy is amazing, so I bought the set and finished the first book. I'll admit, in the beginning stages of the book it goes a little slow, and I had no idea who these people were until later on in the book when it's more explained, so I had a little bit of a hard time pushing through but so glad I did because man, it was incredible! You really feel a connection to the characters, they're not just words on a paper anymore. Everything is so perfectly described so that you can easily imagine what is happening, I've even added a mental soundtrack to some of the fight scenes because they are that epic (yes I'm weird!)
