Very entertaining. I will avoid restating what's already in the summary. This mana has some really funny moments. The main hero is place into at least two awkward situations in this one volume alone, must chase the girls around trying to obtain them to study and to do so needs to search common ground with each one. There is also a 12 episode anime of the same name that so far follows the manga fairly well
Miller's depiction of the Dionne quintuplets' story is objective and neutral. I've read several books about the sisters, but this one focused on various angles of their lives. I felt overwhelming sadness for their lives, right from birth. They were kept as a cute sideshow, deprived of their family, and completely inured from the outside world. Permanently estranged from their extended family, the bonds of the sisters remained powerful even through the early deaths of two of them. The women never knew a normal life and it's incredibly sad. One was betrayed by her son, who helped wrangle a settlement from the Ontario government. This book is a must read if you're a fan of the Dionne story. Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy.
1.5 STARSSPOILERS if you don’t know the story.I’ve read about and saw doentaries on the Dionne Quintuplets since I was a young girl fascinated by the first surviving identical quintuplets. THE MIRACLE AND TRAGEDY OF THE DIONNE QUINTUPLETS by Sarah Miller covers some fresh territory, goes deeper into the abuse the girls suffered at the hands of their father and confirms the suicide of one e story focuses less on the quints and more on the commercialization of the girls from the time they were babies, which was of no interest to me since I already knew those details. I want Miller had used a more narrative approach to the story, showing instead of telling and giving more of a feel for the quints as individuals. Miller does discover some of the various trajectories the Dionne quintuplets’ lives took as adult, though never to the level of giving the story heart and ing a doentary will be more interesting than reading THE MIRACLE AND TRAGEDY OF THE DIONNE QUINTUPLETS. I enjoyed the images at the end of the book, they were well formatted for my kindle which isn’t always the case.
This book is very dry and unemotional in its telling of what should be a truly sad multi-biography about the lives of more than just five very tragic figures of the 20th Century. It dutifully chronicles the story/stories of the Dionne Family, but seems to end abruptly and without any commentary regarding the emotional life of any of it s multiple subjects. Yes, I learned info about the "Quints" which I'd never read nor heard, but all seemed very "newspaper-like" in the writing. I was disappointed and, frankly, bored by what should have been a page-turning saga. in a word: COLD.
An awesome acc of a story that held the globe spellbound. My mother remembered as a girl talking on the playground with mates about the quints and the film newsreels. Sarah Miller is a consummate researcher and weaves factual info into a flowing and relatable story. The accompanying images are fascinating. In our community, this book was a favorite not only with our library reading group but excellent for the group at our assisted living complex. It really promoted discussion.
Well, that about wraps it up for...Arthur DentFord Prefect andTrillian...not to mention the galaxy of other characters who have appeared - even if only for a line or two - on the BBC radio series that has built a global and intensely loyal following for the past 28 years."There's nothing penultimate about this one: this - ladies and gentlemen - is the proverbial it."Finally, there is closure. A conclusion that this listener has longed for ever since the original THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY invaded my awareness in 1981.And what a conclusion! At the risk of spoiling it for other Hitchhiker wannabe's, BBC4 and Dirk Maggs have managed to remain faithful to Douglas Adams' final installment to the inaccurately numbered trilogy of books, spawned from the original radio series and then respawning into fresh radio shows. Go to their web for some priceless images and other cool stuff: [...]And yet, there's more. The book was as dark as the zone encompassing the outer eastern rim of the galaxy, and closed on a note that I'd swear was written by Marvin, the paranoid android. A series that the Beeb billed as "light entertainment" can't leave its audience that depressed and morose, now can it?As I listened to the latest episode of the fifth series, I awaited the darkness of the book's conclusion. When I read the book, MOSTLY HARMLESS, on which this radio series was based, I wondered if Adams was so annoyed with the insatiable appetite of readers and listeners that he decided to dispense with his much beloved characters once and for all. Was this the final disposition of the everyman hero, Arthur Dent, his hedonistic traveling companion and Tutorial field researcher Ford Prefect, and the only other survivor of the Earth's demolition, Trillian? As I wondered and listened, I achingly mourned Adams' passing. I'll miss forever his command of the English language - weaving similes and other literary devices into a tapesty that delights the listener/reader as much on the 10th or even 100th time as much as it does on the first. Sure, those words would will latest for a long, long time. But there would be nothing fresh from that well that watered and nourished so a lot of of us over the years.On a somewhat similar tangent, I responded to a query on the IMDB web page for Farhenheit 451 as to what book you would memorize for posterity's sake if that book/movie's scenario came true. No question: the original HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY or any of its ck to this CD collection: The producer, director, script-writers, performers and other talented members of the ensemble succeed admirably in this final reunion, ushering radio story-telling well into the 21st Century. Sure, the voices had aged. Some had passed and are dearly missed: Peter Jones as the Book and Richard Vernon as the definitive Slartybartfast. But to hear the final reunion was absolutely ars ago, when I began my career as a street warrior, I used to tune into CBS Radio's nighttime mystery series on a 50,000 Watt AM radio station. (Hey, this was pre-CDs, method pre- XM or Sirius). There's something about driving down a rural two-lane street in the dark that created those tales that much more like manner, listening to any of the CDs of the BBC Radio4's productions of Adams' work makes the miles fly by so much more easily. Books on tape/CD pale in comparison, in much the same method that a black hole is outshone by a supernova or even a red giant. The sound effects and incidental melody add such a rich and complex dimension to the story-telling that is so sadly lacking with all the audio books on the shop these days. OK, Ok, the flatulence noice is a bit puerile, but it works so well in the uglas Adams is a real artiste whose talents will be appreciated for years to long... and thanks!
First came the radio shows (and I still have the tapes), then the tv series and then the film - and somewhere in there came the books. The radio present are the best. I did not buy the entire five volume trilogy at one time but I recommend doing that. I now have all five and they remain as unbelievable and funny as they were the first time around. This is amazing material for driving across country because it requires the listener to pay attention for fullest enjoyment. But the amazing thing is that one can play the entire series over and over and there will always be something fresh and the entertainment level never wears r another side of Douglas Adams read "Last Possibility to See." There is a used copy for a penny right now.
This is a must have for any HHGG fan. I did not realize there were any more productions past the original radio production. I have all the extra phases and am grinning from ear to ear.

Endlessly amusing quirky and just plain out FUN!! Adams is for readers (or in this case listeners) who have fun the nonsensical and absolute genius styling's of the absolute king of British science fiction genre!!
Since htis was a later edition, I thought it wouldn't be as amazing as the others. I was plesently surprised. I thought this one (with a more modern twist) was the best one yet! Highly recommend if you've listened to the other 4 series.
Finally, the HHGG radio series is complete. This story needs THIS cast and THIS medium to truly come to life (the film can't keep a candle to this production). The ending is more upbeat than the book, but is just the kind of finale the present needs after 30 years in the making.
This is more like an Eyewitness Guide/Encyclopedia Book or a Coffee Table book than a practical Tutorial to Grooming. It is full of journalistic fluff, museum pictures of old Barber memorabilia, historical timelines, images of men with extremely outlandish hairstyles, their bodies covered with tattoos, and very small that is useful or practical for the average man.
This is just a re-branding of their earlier book "One Pan to Rule Them All" - the same recipes word for n't obtain me wrong - I loved the book, and I'm not versus re-branding, but you should print a clear warning for those of us who have already bought it.
Everything looks so delicious! The Quesadilla Stack is going to be incredible... I'm definitely going to be using it for some Thanksgiving recipes this week (hello, Buttermilk Cornbread).

It may be a comparatively short history but it wasn't a short book. I'm not a greatly knowledgeable history buff and this time period didn't previously attract my interest. Reading the "Fire and Ice" series raised my curiosity. After reading several chapters, the writing style also created me curious about when this book was published. A find revealed a pre American Civil Battle publication date by a noted historian. It would be nice if Amazon noted is info created reading the book more interesting because I now had better insight when reading the author's comments. The historical comments created the history more interesting.If you haven't delved into this period of central European history, you might consider this book. You couldn't create this items up. It was entertaining.
This book is a gracious exposure of the evil contained in despots. It does spend some time to inform the reader of the agony experience by the peasantry due to the vile desires of the nobility. The careless attitude of the haves towards the have nots is still prevalent in today's world.
The book starts well outlining the history from the. Beginning of the Habsburg, however the author then calls also every ruler a despot. I found the second half of this book tiresome and a hard read due entirely to the author. Partly informative.
The globe would be a better put if this book was needed reading. Reading about individual European rulers do not highlight the almost continuous state of battle throughout Europe, the savagery of these battles and the rulers who commissioned them, or the triviality that was at the heart of most of the wars. The violence between Protestants and Catholics only shows how “unchristian” both groups e complexity of the a lot of individuals and regions makes casual reading impossible. Just too a lot of people, territories, and battles to cram into one volume. Readability is created unmeasurable worse by the obviously very scholarly author, and the fact that he likes to present off with paragraph-long convoluted sentences. It would have been a much better book, if Abbott had simply declared his intelligence and learning and them wrote the book in normal English.
I think the book fulfills itsnpromise of being a concise and compacted ver of the facts. Ths Habsburgs have a long and complex evolution over time and the book shows it in reasonable detail. As an initial approach to the topic I certainly recommend it.
This may be a short history, but it is not a short book. It was written before the Civil Battle by an American for Americans as a general history of the Habsburg Family, then the oldest reigning dynasty. The book covers more than 500 years of European history, and is still useful as an introduction to European history for those who know small of it. Nevertheless, I rated it only with three stars because it is much too sketchy, names of a lot of historical figures are misspelled beyond recognition (especially the Hungarian names), and because too much zone was given to the author's negative views about Europe in comparison with the blessings of the amazing governance and constitution of the United States. These are understandable in an American's book written perhaps in the 1840's, but they detract from the book for a modern e author's style favors long sentences, but these are understandable and, paradoxically, clear. Some parts are actually page turners, even for a reader familiar with European history. Perhaps three stars is too harsh, for beginner's in European History, it may be four stars, and the book is certainly fair value for its price.
The amazing part are the illustration of all Habsburg rulers. The poor part is that a lot of necessary historical happenings during the period covered by the book are overlooked or just summarily mentioned.
I love history; better than fiction and sometimes less believable. Reading this book has taught me why the life expectancy for European men (actually, the entire population) was so low through the 19th century-- constant battle and killing. The writing is antiquated, but readable; the author is consistent in his use or arcane words, phrases and allusions, but that is part of the charm of reading older works. This will provide the reader with a beautiful amazing understanding why .... at least the background.... of persistent squabbling between European nations.
As is real of most historical accounts, one almost required a family tree to hold track of the individuals, their relationships and interactions. The powerful...be they religious or political....were not spared unsettling ysis as they moved across the landscape using the human and material resources available without thought to the consequences to mankind or environment. The word "Peace" seemed to be a nebulous concept never to be achieved, Double dealings, convenience marriages, slippery alliances were the means to the end desired by the most strong at the moment. I appreciated the author's exhaustive research and his commentary which rendered the book much easier to read than if it were mere facts.
A delightful small book painting a picture of the Ikarian people through their tasty food. There is a wide variation of soufiko recipes to test and a bunch of other recipes as well. Now I'm hungry!
Simple recipes with few ingredients. I ordered 2 and gave one to my son. Will order another one for my sister. We are Filipino and love some of old dishes my father created for us and looking forward to trying fresh recipes.
I love this book! I’ve already tried quite a few recipes. Ordered another one for my teenage daughter who’s learning cooking. She finds it simple to follow recipes as well. I’m really enjoying cooking because the recipes are simple, simple to follow and, the dishes featured on here are daily dishes that I would normally cook.
I gave this to a mate as a gift. Now, I wish one for myself. The recipes look simple to make, and the ingredients should be available in markets near me. A lot of of them remind me of childhood favorites. I think this will become a favorite "go to" cookbook for me.
If you're into Django Reinhardt and his music, this may be the single most all-inclusive CD of his works available, containing most of the tunes he became best known for performing. You probably will not need e one critique I have is, that for some inexplicable reason, the ver of Limehouse Blues on this CD is noisier (hissy) than another copy of the song I have, though it is note-for-note the same ver and, I'm beautiful sure, the same performance. All the other tunes appear to have been processed for higher quality- a minor drawback; an perfect CD.
I grew up with this kind of music. I'm so satisfied to know things like this are still around. The CD is extremely clear and accurate to the vinyl recordings I remember as a child. I will be buying more of these selections in the future.
Absolutely stunning music, unbelievable digital enhencement. The sound engineer did a tremendous job. I was looking for Stephane Grappelli's recordings for 20 years. Such artistry of jazz violin playing by Grappelli and jazz banjo/guitar playing by Reinhardt. An absolute treasure. A must have in any classic melody library. Should be 10 stars.
Anyone who loves the guitar, and who enjoys discussing amazing players, simply must contain Django Reinhardt in their library and their discussions. "Quintette du Hot Club de France: 25 Classics 1934-1940" is a amazing put to start. His speed, inventiveness, musicality, and emotion are unsurpassed by any other guitar player from any other genre or any other era. And on top of that, you obtain the added gift of Stephane Grappelli's violin playing. Buy it, listen to it, and be amazed.
I love this cd! I like the fact it is mono recordings and not digitally remastered because I wanted real nostalgic old time sound. For being mono I think the sound quality is very good.If you like Grapelli & Reinhardt this cd is must!!

Useful review?
This sounded like a promising idea, but the first volume left me cold. Theprotagonist is a self-involved jerk. Who cares whether the girls like him ornot? I won't be spending any more cash to search out.

I watched the anime first. TBH I really liked this because the characters look even better. I love comparing it to anime and seeing how they differ. Highly recommend this series.

I think this manga deserves more popularity, it is rare to search a HAREM manga that doesn't focuses on a ton of ecchi moments as a sale point. The story so far is great! the pacing is excellent and there isn't any filler to halt the progression of the story.
