500 Key Words for the SAT, and How to Remember Them Forever! Review

My mother bought this book for me when I was in 7th grade and spent time going over words with me every day. I was able to finish it before I entered high school (I am currently a sophomore) and I still remember all of the words. I haven't taken the SAT yet, but I couldn't imagine using this book to study right before it. So I recommend that you purchase a different book if you are in a hurry because this book takes investing of time and energy.

500 Key Words for the SAT, and How to Remember Them Forever! Overview

500 Key Words for the SAT uses pictures and stories to help you remember the meanings of five hundred of the vocabulary words that appear most frequently on the SAT. Learning is fast, fun, and forever! Also: a special section in the back provides tips for the critical reading part of the SAT. Remember, even with recent changes to the SAT, vocabulary is as important as ever to getting a high score. This book was originally published in 1992 as 500 SAT Words, and How To Remember Them Forever! This current edition is the tenth printing, and we will soon sell our 80,000th copy!

Not quite up to snuff - Kristin Henry - Bellevue, WA USA
I purchased this book for a student, but was disapointed to find that many of the words in it were well below what I consider to be standard in the SAT. My opinion is immaterial, but my student, too, was disappointed. Of course there were many vocabulary words he wasn't as familiar with, but at least one-third of the book was too elementary. If I had been given the opportunity to look inside this book before I purchased it, I wouldn't have, at least not for this particular student.



Pleased with purchase - J. Stephenson - Madison, Tennessee United States
I like the pictures. They help my 8-year old to remember well. I would recommend this item to young and old.



Okay. - Bena Wu - CA, USA
This book is okay. It does contain some flaws. I think it would help me remember the words better if it had some visual aid. I recommend using SAT Vocabulary Cartoons better. Some of the ideas could have been made up easily by myself. It tends to get a bit wordy sometimes. Otherwise, this book could be a little bit useful.



Valuable vocabulary builder - Linda H. Rainer -
As a high school teacher, I return to this book year after year for my AP English Language and Composition class and Honors English 11 classes. It familiarizes students with words they read in literature as well as offers definitions they will encounter on college entrance exams. The tips for remembering meaning are entertaining and effective. My students always enjoy the book.

Cervantes's Don Quixote (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations) Review

My daughter was very happy with this book as a Christmas gift. Arrived on time and in excellent condition.

Cervantes's Don Quixote (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations) Overview

Widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, and one of the funniest and most tragic books ever written, Don Quixote chronicles the famous picaresque adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote de La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, as they travel through sixteenth-century Spain. Unless you read Spanish, you've never read Don Quixote.

Relatively hard to read - I Teach Typing - Stanford, CA USA
I ordered this version while I was waiting on a physical copy of Don Quixote (Penguin Classics) to ship. There are two notable differences. First the Penguin version is more complete. This one is missing the sonets at the beginning (which are mentioned in the forward by the author) and the penguin version has lots of useful footnotes (translations of phrases and references to the books that Don Quixote is obsessed with). The missing footnotes are more then just scolarly tidbits, they help translate the book. A more important point is that John Rutherford's translation is much MUCH easier to read. I found myself having to reread sections of this translation a couple times before I was sure what was being said. Instead of enjoying an interesting story, this translation was work to read.

So, if you can afford the extra few dollars for the other translation you will be glad you got it.




terrible -- would not recommend - Peace 71 -
I have been a teacher for seventeen years. I currently teach Spanish to children in grades k-8. I was hoping to share this book with my fourth or fifth grade students as part of their cultural studies. In college, I majored in Spanish and education, where I had the opportunity to read some of the original Don Quixote by Cervantes. This rendition by Argentina Palacios is both poorly written and not appropriate for children ages 9-12, as advertised.

The story is written with simplistic language and boring sentences. It also covers difficult topics including "A boy of about fifteen was tied to a tree, naked from the waist up. He was being hit with a leather belt by a man" (pp. 6, 7). And, "It was clear that he intended to kill the strange old man..." (p. 12).

As an educator, I cannot recommend this book to my colleagues or to parents to share with their children.






The Most Literal Translation from Cervantes' Spanish - Robert Graden - Eugene, OR
If you care about textual integrity, Starkie's is the translation for you. I've compared certain phrases from the original Spanish by Cervantes and, of all the English versions I've seen, this is the most faithful. There is another version out there, often Nortonized, that leads the reader possibly astray from author intention. For instance, in Part One, Chapter Five, Putnam quotes Quixote as saying, "I know who I am, and who I may be, if I choose..." The original says, "I know who I am..." and proceeds with a catalogue of medieval romance characters. Samuel Putnam's translation appears in Modern Library and some Norton anthologies: don't buy it unless you're 19 and want to be inspired with a Sartrian sort of freedom that I'm not sure Cervantes advocates. Be it admitted, Norton anthologies target the young, and if you don't want to grow old before your time, then buy a Norton anthology with Putnam's translation of _Don Quixote_. Norton gives you a focus that may not be too off-target. Plus, it'll be an abridgement that'll save you many hundreds of pages of reading.The Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces, 4th edition

Sorry for the length.

I'm not a big Sudoku fan, but I tried this book sample because I was curious how Kindle could download a program using AZW format (it turns out that the AZW format doesn't allow user interactions.

Customer Reviews

need more space for possibilities - CB in AK -
When I drop character size to the lowest level, I can get 3 possibilities in a square. In moderate and difficult puzzles, I need more space. The only electronic game I have found that will allow this is a Yahoo wigit that has space for 9. For a penny this is worth it, but I'll never use it unless I'm without a book of boards and my computer. If anyone produces a Kindle version with this feature, they need to feature it as a selling point.



Sudoku Volume 1: Interactive Sudoku for Kindle - Jennifer Andrews -
Am I the only one who can't figure out if there is a function to store that little number in the corner of a grid square? If, indeed, there isn't one, the games beyond a difficulty level of "moderate" are pretty much useless.



really nice - Jessss - Mountain
I love to play sudoku when I can. So, when I saw this download I was excited. At first it was difficult for me to get to, but once I figured it out I was pleased. The games are of good quality and easy to use. If you're a sudoku fan then get this because it is well worth it.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2) Review

The Harry Potter books are jewels in the realm of fantasy novels. They get better and better as novels become larger in length. Chamber of Secrets offered one of the best mysteries I've read in a long time, as does the rest of the series. I think you will find that nothing in the world of Harry Potter is predictable and every suprise comes splendidly. I've read 4 of the 7 books before, and I recall Chamber of Secrets being my favorite. If you loved Sorcerer's Stone, then you will be thankful that the following books never decay in quality.

Mystery, Suspense, Wonder, and Wicked Fun await you. As the wizarding world broadens we are always left wanting more. I reccomend these tyrant stories of the fantasy world to any type of reader. I doubt there are many people in this world who can manage to dislike Harry Potter after reading it. Chamber of Secrets offers no secrets to steer you away. Harry Potter: Book 2 is solid and dashing without flaw.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2) Overview

The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.

And strike is does. For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageous stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.

But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone--or something--starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects...Harry Potter himself?

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2) Specifications

What makes the Harry Potter series so successful? Maybe it's the fact that J.K. Rowling doesn't write children's books, she writes children's stories, more in the tradition of the Brothers Grimm than Dr. Seuss. The exploits of Harry and his friends captivate even the shortest attention spans by engaging the imagination with vivid characters and fast-moving action, instead of trying to merely catch the eye with colorful pictures or pop-up effects. Not surprisingly, the Potter tales sound wonderful read aloud, and adapt to the audiobook format extremely well. Broadway actor Jim Dale's impressive vocal range gives each character in the book its own distinctive voice--a considerable task, given the pantheon of witches, warlocks, ghosts, ghouls, dwarves, and elves that Harry encounters in his second outing. And thankfully, since the book is read unabridged, no one's favorite character is omitted. Engaging for children without being childish, the audio version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is worthy addition to the deservedly popular series.

Excellent read!! - stanley30 -
You can't get any better than Harry Potter. I do not want to put it down. You want to keep reading to find out what happens. The movies are good but the books are so much better. I love the books so much more than the movies. I will definitely be reading them again.






Slow Secret - Anthony R. Cardno - Newton, NJ USA
Chamber of Secrets is a fine book, but even after having read it several times and now listening to it on audiobook (the first time I've revisted the story in probably 5 years), my feeling hasn't really changed in regard to it being my least favorite of the Potter books. Even saying that, it's not that I hate the book. There's a lot to like in it. I just feel like it remains the volume in which the main mystery is the least well-developed; it's the book in which two of the final reveal feels like they come from out of left field. Yes, I'm still bothered by the way Ginny is absent for most of the book yet stands revealed in the end as a main component of what has been going on at the school all year long. I felt like there should have been more indicators than the occasional "Ginny looks like she's got a stomach ache" toss-off line. I also think the reveal of Lucius Malfoy's connection is a bit of a stretch, although there at least you can go back to the beginning of the book and think "okay, yeah, I guess that happened."

However, as I said, even with that dissatisfaction, there's still plenty to like. Gilderoy Lockhart remains one of my favorite smarmy, self-involved characters of all time. I can't help but picture Kenneth Brannagh when I reread the book, and even with Jim Dale's slightly different take on the voice of the character, I still felt Brannagh's presence. And of course, Rowling used this book to set up so much of what will come later: the mystery of Harry's shared abilities with Lord Voldemort, the Harry-Draco Quidditch rivarly, the possibility that rather than being the Heir of Slytherin, Harry is actually the Heir of Gryffindor, and of course the introductory mention of Azkaban prison. While Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday party feels like a bit of a waste of space considering the smaller and smaller roles the ghosts play as the series evolves, it is still a fun diversion.

Jim Dale, of course, does his usual stellar job at performing the book and giving characters individual voices. It is a little tough listening to these while driving because his voice is just so darn soothing, but if I don't listen to them on the road, I never will!



Awesome book - Stacy Kinder - Virginia, USA
I love the Harry Potter series. I have all of the hardback books in the series and bought this one to complete the paperback series for my kids to read. This is a very good series and I recommend it highly. It is good for young readers because it is very easy to get into.

Easy Writer: A Pocket Guide / 0-312-25591-8

I have to second all the college graduates here singing the praises of this little pocket guide! The guide covers every major documentation school of thought - and several minor ones that I was unaware of prior to the purchase of this guide. The documentation covers every possible occurrence - from the banal One-Book-One-Author to online pages, spoken conversations, e-mail communication, taped interviews, and on and on.

Many of these occurrences I could not even find documentation guidelines online, let alone in my college texts. The documentation guidelines also provide lucid and useful examples. I recommend this guide highly, if you have a lot of term papers to write and if you have a teacher who is a stickler for documentation!

easy Writer 4th Edition - A Handy Reference - Harold A. Geller - Fairfax, VA
As a professor who requires term papers for certain courses, I highly recommend this little reference book to my students. Yes, I still have the APA style reference guide in my library, but I hardly refer to it ever since I obtained this handy reference, which is also much lighter in weight. As I see it, writing has become a bit of a lost art. It's much easier to cut and paste, as any student knows, to copy others' words. However, only by writing in an optimal manner best to communicate your thoughts and making reference to your "facts" and sources can our society hope to inform others of our rational thinking. This little reference should be on the desk of every student and teacher, in my opinion. Great index, great examples, great desk reference.



A great little reference book - F. Lafleur - Tucson, AZ
This was required for one of my writing classes, but I will surly keep it for future reference. It has everything you will need for citations in term papers.

Check Out Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting for $8.99

Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting Review

"Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting" by industry giant Syd Field is considered to be the bible of modern screenwriting texts, and has been for many years. It's a well-deserved badge of honor.

Field approaches the art of screenwriting logically, positively, explaining step by step the hows, whats, and whys of the biz. He addresses the technical points of length, description, planning, all in a way that makes absolute sense to any reader... regardless of their knowledge of the film industry, educational level, or age. He uses popular film examples to underscore his methods, which help enormously. This book gives any reader the right foundation to begin a screenplay with absolute confidence.

As an aside..... let's also not forget that the way Syd Field writes--his prose--is so reader friendly, and so understandable... he could be writing completely random crap and it would still be an absolute pleasure to read it. I've found that most writing "how-to" texts are extremely boring, procedural... very INSTITUTIONAL... this book is not at all institutional, and it's very easy on the eyes and brain when you're reading it.

My only criticism with this book is a big one... though it doesn't necessarily diminish the importance of the work itself. This book is 18 chapters long, but for all intents and purposes, it basically ends after Chapter 13 ("Screenplay Form").

Chapters 14-18 discuss extreme subjects unrelated to the "foundations of screenwriting." They discuss adaptation and collaboration... matters FAR ABOVE (and not particularly applicable) the neophyte, aspiring screenwriters that would be reading a book such as this one. Yet, Chapters 14-18 also discuss very simplistic matters that are likely FAR BENEATH those that would be reading this... things such as getting into the mood to write, devoting time to your writing, dealing with family who may be opposed to you spending so much time writing, et cetera. These same chapters are also filled with personal, broad philosophical observations about writing in general, the process... observations that any B-average Freshman English student could spit out without thinking too hard. There are also boring, stereotypical observations about the film industry and Hollywood society... things that any resident of Los Angeles can tell you even if they've never in their life been involved in the entertainment industry.

I recently discussed this book with my best friend, a USC grad who had read this book as part of a film course in college. I was shocked, but very soothed, to hear him exactly echo my sentiments about the last third of this book. I hope Field spices this text up a bit if he does another revision.

Yet, despite my disappointment with the latter third of the book, the first two-thirds are absolutely brilliant. This book is a must-read... dare I say a REQUIRED READ... for anyone interested in the whole screenwriting process.

Kudos to Field. I really learned a lot from this book. I most certainly recommend it.

Inspiring - Warren Redlich - Albany, NY USA
Love this book. As I read it, it kept inspiring new ideas for the script I'm writing.



Get the Basics - Elizabeth Todis - san francisco
In turning my recent book into a screenplay, I had no idea how to begin, I took this basic "How To" guide and ran with it, and banged out my first draft of a screenplay in less than a month. The text is clear and complete, and when I showed my document to experienced screenwriters, they were impressed by my breath of knowledge about effective scripts.
A must have for the library of screenwriters, or writers in general.

So Good - Ingrid Torrance - Vancouver, B.C.
This book is basically the first testament of screen writing. It walks you through the entire process of writing a screen play. There are more in-depth books on screenwriting but none so straightforward. This book explains the simple basic format for successful screenplays. It is a great book for beginner screenwriters. I also think this book is great for anyone in the industry not just the writer; it's always important to understand why and how something is written.




Don't be fooled... - J. J. Hiltz-Graham -
Yes, this book can be helpful for the basics such as: sluglines, scene descriptions, action, dialogue etc.... BUT, do you really want to take lessons from a guy who's never had a career in writing screenwriting? If you want my advice... learn the basics, read as many GOOD screenplays as you can (not crap like Twilight) and be original. Do things that haven't been done before. Hollywood is looking for originality and new material.
