Review:
The one thing that I found annoying about this book is the fact that Ms. Lackey found it necessary to write herself into the book, as a very main character. I found that it somehow disappointing and took away from the rest of the book which was for the most part one of her better efforts in the last few years.

Review:
Based on a Czech opera that was performed 55 times by children in Terezin, a Nazi concentration camp, Brundibar is an odd, urgent little tale of a brother and sister who are desperately trying to get their hands on some milk for their sick mother. They race to the village center, only to discover that they need money to buy milk. Unfortunately, all the money in town seems to be going to the nefarious hurdy-gurdy man, Brundibar. Enter three talking animals and 300 willing children (bearing balloons stating "WE DON’T MIND SKIPPING SCHOOL"), and things start looking up for little Aninku and Pepicek. Retold by playwright Tony Kushner and illustrated by Caldecott Medal recipient Maurice Sendak, this operatic story is just nutty enough to be... Rest of this review on the detail page

Book description
In the town jail of Martirio, Texas — under the terrifying care of the dynastic Gurie family, and wearing only his New Jack trainers and underpants — fifteen-year-old Vernon Little is in trouble. His friend has just blown away sixteen of his classmates before turning the gun on himself. And Vernon has become the focus of the whole town's need for vengeance, and the media's appetite for sensational content — true or not. When the tricky Mr. Lesdema arrives in town — with a covert mission to promote himself from TV repairman to crack CNN reporter — Vernon thinks he has an ally. In fact, Lesdema is a villain of Machiavellian proportions. Vernon soon realizes that in this modern world innocence is definitely no defense.... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
First of all, let me state clearly I've been a big Clancy fan since "The Hunt for Red October" -- in fact, up until the past couple of years, I picked them up in hardcover as soon as they were released. However, starting with "The Bear and the Dragon," I've noticed the quality of Clancy's work slipping, especially in the editing. "The Teeth of the Tiger" is no exception, and, to me, stands as Clancy's weakest effort to date. To begin with, I just can't get past his new character, John Patrick Ryan, Jr., ending up in the intelligence business. Given that you need a certain degree of anonymity to be a spook, it's ridiculous that Jack Jr. would ever end up at "The Campus." C'mon, this guy would be a celebrity a la JFK Jr. or Prince William in ... Rest of this review on the detail page
