Freefall
William Hoffer, Marilyn Mona Hoffer
St Martins Mass Market Paper, 1990
Top flight non-fiction suspense

Plain Jane (A House for the Season, Book 2)

Jane is the plain younger sister, so commonly the heroine in Regency fare. She also has has the prerequisite "dysfunctional family" so common in these ...

A "Must" read for any single woman wanting a relationship.
I have read lots of books on dating and relationships. This was the best one so far because it gives practical advice and insights into why we can't seem to find the right guy. There are exercises that give in-depth awarenesses of who we are and what we really want in ...

Pretty good...
If you are expecting these to be exact copies of the movies, don't bet on it. NOES 4 has a few changes in it, for example, Rick's Kung Fu death is different.
NOES 5 is completely different from the movie. Same plot, different way of looking at it. Still a very ...
