James Luceno

Wonderful Wonder Emporium
I ordered this as a class set for my second graders to read. We did a book study (reading, grammar, spelling). This is a wonderfully written book. It was so descriptive that my students were able to do some awesome visualizations (illustrations of what was read) to ...

The Starchild Skull -- Genetic Enigma or Human-Alien Hybrid?
Lloyd Pye
Bell Lap Books Inc.
, 2007
as revolutionary as Darwin's "Origin of the Species"
It's a great book. Imagine yourself in Europe 1,000 years ago and you found photos of the Earth with the Moon in the background as taken from the space shuttle and you had the wisdom and open-mindedness to realize what they were. Now imagine trying to get anyone to ...

My son enjoys this series
My son liked this one the best of the series. It was a quick read for him, but he still reported he liked it.
Speaking Treason Fluently: Anti-Racist Reflections From an Angry White Male
Tim Wise
Soft Skull Press
, 2008
First rate analysis and collection
I've read most of Tim Wise's essays before, so it's not as if this collection was new. But it is nice to have a collection of his "best" pieces on racism and white privilege, compiled in one place. Some of these, in fact, I had missed, so they were new to me, and even ...
Alfred Kropp: The Thirteenth Skull (Alfred Kropp)
Rick Yancey
Bloomsbury USA Children's Books

Best Youth Fantasy Ever
I'd give it six stars if I could. My wife, myself and my son eagerly follow Kropp's adventures with every book. We listened to the first book on audio in a camp in the woods and were mesmerized: Nobody blends fantasy and real life better than Rick Yancey, the ...

White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son
Tim Wise
Soft Skull Press

Very Important Book
I've seen other reviews stating that all white people should read this book. I think that EVERYONE should read this book. This book addresses race and race relations in a way that is unorthodox, clear and grabs your attention. As a race/ethnicity scholar and ...

David Rees
Soft Skull Press

Best political satire I've ever seen
David Rees never holds back in this profane, bold, hilarious, and very knowledgeable series of comic strips drawn between 2001 and 2008. He skewers everyone and everything, though he focuses mostly on the Bush Administration and its disastrous domestic and foreign ...
The Skull Mantra (Inspector Shan Tao Yun)
Eliot Pattison
St. Martin's Minotaur

Mesmerizing
I enjoy reading mystery and police procedurals from other cultures. The Bangkok books by John Burdett, the Wallander series by Mankell, Qui Xialong's books set in China, Natsuo Kirino's Out, Alexander McCall Smith's Mma Ramotswe stories. I picked this book up with ...

Ceri Louise Thomas
Bear & Company

Very good
This is the best book I've read in a long time. I expected it to focus solely on the crystal skulls, and it did to an extent, but it also has a wealth of historical information. Very interesting, and I was disappointed when I came to the end, because I wanted to keep ...

Beautiful pictures and printquality
This book has beautiful pictures and the quality of the printing is great. However the last page with the colophon had some serieus black and gray scratches. Those are not acceptable for the quality books Insight Editions brings out. There should be a better quality ...
