There wasn´t a story I didn´t like in this book. Some were good, some were less good, some were great, none was bad. This was really a good fantasy compilation. A witch/ wizard stories only anthology.And yes, it´s a fantasy book. I only put it on my "books for kids"-shelf because most of the stories were suitable for bedtime stories (you´ll agree with me when you compare the book to the stuff kids watch on tv these days.(I certainly know what my nephew does....)). None of the stuff ( well, MAYBE "Great-grandmother in the cellar") was too scary and everything turned out good in the end.
And the authors leave you crawing for more storyplot.
I´ll definitely give The Dresden files now a shot.
Good thing this book is a freebie.The story is much too short, 35% of the whole ebook. The rest is an excerpt of [b:The Prisoner of Heaven|13623012|The Prisoner of Heaven (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, #3)|Carlos Ruiz Zafón|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1335994402s/13623012.jpg|18067409] .
I am pretty sure, everybody who loves the series will definitely pick up this first book.Edit: Here´s the first chapter as a sneak peak http://de.scribd.com/doc/130430526/Reawakened-A-Once-Upon-A-Time-Tale
Nice little twisted piece. A young lonesome witch learns that there exist two sides of one story and that times change. And she falls in love with a female sea creature, she´ll never see again. A bit sad, but I liked the story.
No, not my shoujo-cup of tea....But It wouldn´t say no if QuinRose there would be a Alice Adventures in Wonderland/ Through Looking glass book with Quinrose illustrations.....
Richard Diamond - Privatdetektiv Fall 11+12
Liked it. My first Richard Diamond audio book :)Diese Serie macht definitiv Lust auf mehr, was nicht zuletzt an Tobias Klunkert liegt, der im Moment unter anderem auch der Figur Richard Castle seine Stimme leiht.
Das sich in den 50er Jahren die Leute vor den Radios versammelt haben um diese Abenteuer zu hören, kann ich gut nachvollziehen.
4.5 von 5 Sternen, da einige Stimmen sehr leise aufgenommen wurden und man deswegen die Lautstärke ab und zu verändern muss (kann). Außerdem könnte man auch 3 Episoden auf 1 CD packen.
Das tut der Film Noir Atmosphäre jedoch keinen Abbruch.
Interesting about this reprint is that 24 pages of these 48 pages are completely blank and the book starts with page 9.The story itself has the fomat of a square children´s book, which is kind of irritating since you read a book in paperback format.
And the story isn´t for children. It´s about the moving of the world, it´s about God´s view, man´s view and alcohol abuse.
So keep this book away from innocent children until they have finished college (that is close to the point when they likely need this story) and of course, don´t open until Christmas.
Dies ist eine Sammlung literarischer Weihnachtskatzengedichte und -zitate, die mit wunderschönen Katzenbildern verfeinert wurde.
I didn´t like the book very much, because the text passages & the manga passages didn´t work well together....
5 Stars for Sailor Moon, 4 for the reprint edition.Was kann man über diese Serie sagen, was nicht bereits gesagt wurde?
Außer vielleicht, das es sich hierbei um die erste deutsche Neuauflage des Mangas handelt.
Ob ich mit der neuen Übersetzung zufrieden bin, kann ich nicht sagen, da ich die 20-bändige Orginalserie nur bei Freunden damals durhgelesen habe.
Es ist definitiv ungewohnt, jetzt die englischen Sailornamen (Moon war ja die Ausnahme) zu lesen.
Das Usagi jetzt Usagi heißt und nicht mehr Bunny, stört mich dabei am wenigsten, das ist nur Niedlichkeitsverlust.
Aber Sailor Merkur ist jetzt offiziell Sailor Mercury, Königin Periglia ist jetzt Queen Beryll und die Verwandlungen wurden sprachlich reduziert. Damit meine ich nicht z.B. "Macht der Mondnebel, mach auf!" nein, "Moon prism power, make-up!" wurde auf "Moon prism power!" reduziert. Dabei kennt jedes Mädchen "Make-up", nicht wahr? Musste das wirklich sein?.....
This little gift books gives a brief overview about Victorian English Teas. It is also filled with little poems and receipes for tea cakes.This is NOT an approved guide how to behave when you attend an Afternoon tea, you never could put such a guide on 64 pages. The book just gives you an image how some Tea afternoons could have looked like in the best case according brief historic information basics.
For a detailed image & guide how to attend an English Tea, look for other books. This book is meant for joy, dreaming & a good cup of tea with some cake :)
Dieser Manga wäre ziemlich gemein & gruselig, wenn die Dialoge mit Dalian nicht so zum Lachen wären. Für einen Teufel, ist sie einfach nur knuffig (wenn man das Schloss an ihrer Brust zu lässt).Gleichzeitig hat diese Manga auch etwas Grausames an sich...
This manga would be very mean & creepy if the dialogues with Dalian wouldn´t be so funny. She´s very cute for a devil (except the thing with the keyhole).
At the same time, this manga is some kind of cruel...
Liked the story. It was well written & felt longer than 64 pages. Anne Perry has proven again that she knows how to bind a reader to a story world and how to leave the reader crawing for more, no matter which genre she writes about.Victorian crime isn´t required when modern day times themselves have enough mystery food hidden in the shadows of history.
3.5 stars, actually...I liked the book, very dark & gloomy story, but the end came to fast. The second part of the book seems to run, after the two main characters started to get to know each other.
There are several parts I missed:
1. How did Snow White learn to fight so fast, that she could beat Revenna?
2. How did Finn and his men get more safely through the woods?
3. What´s the mirrors secret and what happend to it?
4. Uhm, hello? Where did Snowy get her confidence & new battle setting information from? Sarah´s ghost? Revenna´s mind while sucked lifeless?
5. Who else does agree, that she should have made Eric to an advisor (*cough* secret lover *cough*)
I hope the movie is a bit better made ...
