All New Letters from a Nut: Includes Lunatic Email Exchanges ReviewGreat book, especially the really funny back and forth emails Ted gets going with some of these places. For instance, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Tokyo. Here Ted writes to them that he understands their hotel offers soup in their rooms. They email Ted back stating that they do have soap, as well as shower gel in the rooms (an innocent error). Ted replies back that chicken noodle soap sounds dee-licious. They apologize to Ted for misunderstanding the word soup for soap. Ted goes on about using Chicken noodle soap in the shower. What ensues is a truly funny exchange between Ted and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Very, very humorous! We passed the book around and everyone was just reading their favorite parts.All New Letters from a Nut: Includes Lunatic Email Exchanges Overview** NOTE - THE KINDLE VERSION HAS BEEN FIXED.

The Genius Files: Mission Unstoppable ReviewI'm always looking for a good chapter book to read with my twelve year old at night - one we both find interesting. This book definately hit the bill there. Two preteen twins (Coke and Pepsi) caught up in a secret government project with people out to kill them. The plot is exciting, there is a lot of amusement in the story as we learn of their bizzare names and their slightly eccentric parents. Very entertaining and unexpected story twists.
Here's my problem - I hope my twelve year old is responsible enough to see these are bad decisions - but several times the twins go with complete strangers who claim to be saving their lives - actually get in a car with them at one point. Next when they are told they are part of this secret government project - they are informed they can never tell anyone about it - even their parents - or their families lives may be threatened - OK big red flag - who wants their kid reading a book that says you have to keep secrets from your parents. I actually stopped right there to explain that you NEVER keep secrets from your parents (even if the supposed person says they will hurt them if you tell). You always need a parents judgement to help you make decisions when you are twelve. My kid said, "I know Mom" - but still it just gave me an uneasy feeling about the book in general.
So if you don't mind the message to kids that secrets and strangers are ok - then it is an entertaining read - but I would read it with your child and remind them that these are not good choices.The Genius Files: Mission Unstoppable Overview
In eight days, Coke and Pepsi McDonald are going to turn thirteen.

Before then, they'll jump off a cliff, get trapped in the locked basement of their burning school, chased cross-country by murderous lunatics, left for dead in the pit of a sand dune, forced to decipher mysterious coded messages, thrown into a giant vat of SPAM, and visit the world's largest . . . ball of twine!

There's more, but if we told you here, we'd have to kill you.

Megapopular author Dan Gutman brings on the excitement with an action-packed new series that's nothing short of dynamite. Join Coke and Pep on their quest to uncover just what it means to be part of The Genius Files . . . if you dare!

The Adjustment ReviewNow that this book has been published, I can say that my original 5 star review has been earned.
This slim volume packs more sex and violence into 217 pages than you'd find in an early 1970s drive in triple feature!
Scott Phillips keeps a consistent tone by staying within the viewpoint of his deranged, self serving, sexually driven narrator Wayne Ogden, back in Wichita from the gravy train that WW2 was to him as a supply sergeant- i.e. pimp, black marketeer, murderer, extortionist. Now back in the states, he's forced into the narrower confines as wing man to the wealthiest man around,Collins, a whoring drunk maintaining a shaky hold over Collins Aircraft. Wayne needs to stay on his toes to assess threats to his boss and his livelihood and to figure out where to use his Army training and where to just apply brute force or natural cunning.
This is a deliciously nasty read that manages to show a lot about American History without lecturing. Not for the faint of heart, perhaps, but anyone who appreciates a little extra rough in their rough and tumble should get this book right away.
ORIGINAL REVIEW from 2010- According to Scott Phillips, author of this book, Phoenix Books had intended to publish this novel in September 2010. Instead, they went bankrupt in the Spring of 2010 and the listing remains for a book that doesn't quite exist.
THE ADJUSTMENT will be published, though, in September 2011 by COUNTERPOINT PRESS.
While I agree that it's not quite fair to rate a book I haven't seen, it is the only way Amazon makes available for me to pass this information along. The five star rating is the average for all three other Scott Phillips books- juicy, raunchy, sexy, violent, well researched books about Wichita and points beyond that will put you in mind of the good citizens of DEADWOOD or the spare black humor of Charles Willeford. The titles are The ICE HARVEST, The WALKAWAY and COTTONWOOD.
You can thank me later.The Adjustment OverviewThe war is over, but that doesn't mean things are getting better. For PR man Wayne Ogden or any of the returning vets. The town of Wichita, Kansas-built around the industry of Collins Aircraft and its wealthy founder, Everett Collins-is not how they remember it. Against the background violence committed by the returning soldiers trying to make an adjustment back into civilian life, Wayne attempts to destroy his former mentor and take down Collins Aircraft-the once fabled company that provided planes to Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, and Wiley Post. All along the way he is haunted by poison pen letters, anonymously sent, that carry threats alluding to his black market work as a supply sergeant in the Quartermaster Corps. As the letters reveal more and more of Wayne's secretive wartime past, his plan to destroy Collins and his company takes an increasingly darker turn that leads to blackmail, extortion, and murder. Phillips expertly crafts an instant noir classic that presents the birth of a postwar American criminal.

Flip Flop Fly Ball: An Infographic Baseball Adventure ReviewWith its leisurely pace and summertime schedule, baseball is well suited to inane statistics, wild speculation and other flights of fancy. Flip Flop Fly Ball delves deep into baseball's trivia fringe with sharp infographics and a special point of view.
Robinson's experience is quite an interesting one. Not just being a baseball fan from England, but also as someone who didn't come to baseball until well into adulthood. That gives his impressions of the game a unique flavor. While partaking in the multi-ballpark roadtrip has almost become a cliche, it takes on a different tone from Robinson's perspective. His talk of meeting weird people at the bus station and finding a place to smoke plays a fun contrast to the usual Americana and father/son warm fuzzies.
While the writings takes up a fair chunk of the book the majority of pages are dedicated to Robinson's paintings and most importantly his infographics, illustrating anything and everything having to do with baseball; from which numbers have been retired the most to which teams give out the most bobbleheads.
Rather than waxing philosophical like many baseball books, Robinson waxes almost nonsensical from graphics on stadiums with the most aesthetically pleasing parking lots to an "interview" with that dove Randy Johnson obliterated with a fastball in 2001. Just to better point out the book irreverent nature, the final graphic is the box score of a fantasy game between the E Street Band and the Wu-Tang Clan. (I won't spoil who won)
Flip Flop Fly Ball is well worth the purchase; both as a unique and humorous look at the American pastime, and as a fine coffee table diversion for long, plodding, walk-filled August gamedays.Flip Flop Fly Ball: An Infographic Baseball Adventure OverviewHow many miles does a baseball team travel in one season? How tall would A-Rod's annual salary be in pennies? What does Nolan Ryan have to do with the Supremes and Mariah Carey?You might never have asked yourself any of these questions, but Craig Robinson's Flip Flop Fly Ball will make you glad to know the answers. Baseball, almost from the first moment Robinson saw it, was more than a sport. It was history, a nearly infinite ocean of information that begged to be organized. He realized that understanding the game, which he fell in love with as an adult, would never be possible just through watching games and reading articles. He turned his obsession into a dizzyingly entertaining collection of graphics that turned into an Internet sensation. Out of Robinson's Web site,www.flipflopflyball.com, grew this book, full of all-new, never-before-seen graphics. Flip Flop Fly Ball dives into the game's history, its rivalries and absurdities, its cities and ballparks, and brings them to life through 120 full-color graphics. Statistics-the sport's lingua franca-have never been more fun. (By the way, the answers: about 26,000 miles, at least if the team in question is the 2008 Kansas City Royals; 3,178 miles; they were the artists atop the Billboard Hot 100 when Ryan first and last appeared in MLB games.) Craig Robinson is, among other things, an Englishman and a New York Yankees fan with a soft spot for the Colorado Rockies and a man-crush on Ichiro. Last season he played outfield for the Prenzlauer Berg Piranhas in the Berlin Mixed Softball League (.452/.548/.575). His previous books include Atlas, Schmatlas: A Superior Atlas of the World and Fun Fun Fun.

Lies that Chelsea Handler Told Me (A Chelsea Handler Book/Borderline Amazing Publishing) ReviewI've read all of Chelsea's other books. Loved them. They are all laugh-out-loud books. Chelsea manages to get herself into some seriously bazaar situations, and her quick wit seems to always be her saving grace. If you've ever wondered how or why "all" that seems to pile down on this one woman, after reading this book, you'll wonder no more. She welcomes crazy in and then full on embraces it.
This book is written by the people who fill Handler's day, not Handler herself--which, of course-- you probably already know. The common theme in all the mini narratives is this: Chelsea lies, has huge boobs, pees her pants with alarming frequency, loves herself some late night chicken fingers, drinks too much and is overly generous. So, the moral is, although you're not getting Chelsea's voice from this book, you're getting the next best thing.
To be honest, not every essay is amazing (one even smacks seriously of Single White Female--now that is borderline scary) which is the reason I rated this book a 4 rather than a 5. It's worth the read, though. Seriously. If you're a fan of her comedy, her other publications or her show, you'll appreciate the raw way she infuses herself into the lives around her with a "take no prisoners" attitude. She spares no one, and inflicts the worst upon the ones she loves the most.
I wish I worked for her.Lies that Chelsea Handler Told Me (A Chelsea Handler Book/Borderline Amazing Publishing) Overview"My tendency to make up stories and lie compulsively for the sake of my own amusement takes up a good portion of my day and provides me with a peace of mind not easily attainable in this economic climate."--Chelsea Handler, from Chapter 10 of Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang It's no lie: Chelsea Handler loves to smoke out "dumbassness," the condition people suffer from that allows them to fall prey to her brand of complete and utter nonsense.Friends, family, co-workers--they've all been tricked by Chelsea into believing stories of total foolishness and into behaving like total fools.Luckily, they've lived to tell the tales and, for the very first time, write about them.

Thor's Wedding Day: By Thialfi, the goat boy, as told to and translated by Bruce Coville ReviewA fun romp into the world of Norse Mythology. I really enjoyed the characters of Gat & Grinder. It's not everyday that you can get insulted by goats. I do think that Thor was a bit too dumb and that Freyja was a bit too vain. That is however, a matter of personal interpretation and opinion of the original myths.
I only found two "factual" areas that were inaccurate. The first was when our merry cartload of cross-dressers road across the Rainbow Bridge, (Thor can't cross the Rainbow Bridge, he's too heavy). The second was, who it was that suggested Thor dress in bridal attire. While I agree with the author that it only seems logical to have Loki make the suggestion, is was in "fact" Heimdal who made the suggestion. If we're going to teach the younger generations the Nose Legends, we might as well get them correct as we can.
I loved the cover art, it is reminiscent of Fineous Fingers. My copy does not have any inside illustrations. I hope the author and Illistrater have corrected this in subsequent publications, (I think I may have an advance copy). All in all a good read for its intended age group.
In Frith,
Spence

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists ReviewA brilliant, sad and moving account of life in Edwardian England for the working class "Philanthropists" struggling through poverty in order to make their employers rich. Though starving and wretched the majority of these working men react furiously to suggestions that their poverty is caused by their "masters" robbing them of the fruits of their labours. They are referred to as philanthropists due to their generosity of spirit and material wealth , gladly handing over all the benefits of the luxuries and necessaries of life which they help to create, to their greedy paymasters and employers. The solution to their problems is provided by the author as a Socialist, Cooperative Commonwealth of Nations under God, where the marvels of modern science and technology should be harnessed, owned by the people, and producing an abundance of the comforts of civilisation, not for one company's profit but for everyone's needs. An old lesson whose truths are as relevant today as they were when this masterpiece was written. A Socialist's bible if ever their was one.The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists Overview

Monkey with a Tool Belt Review

Monkey with a Tool Belt ReviewReasons To Read the Book "Monkey with a Tool Belt":
#1: It is named "Monkey with a Tool Belt".
#2: It features a monkey by the name of Chico Bon Bon.
#3: And yes, it's brilliant, funny, well-illustrated, blah blah blah. But did you see the title? It's MONKEY WITH A TOOL BELT!! How cool is that?
Basically, inside every book reviewer is a five-year-old child who screams with delight when she reads titles created by talented whizzes like Chris Monroe. Ms. Monroe is a Minnesotan with a cartoonist background and an ear for a funny phrase. With this, her second foray into the world of picture books, the result is delightful. Distinctly child-friendly with great art and a story worth reading, "Monkey with a Tool Belt" (I just can't say it often enough) is going to wind up being one of those books that kids remember and treasure for years.
Chico Bon Bon. Your average everyday monkey with a tool belt. Outfitted with everything from claw hammers to clam hammers, Chico is the kind of guy you want around when something needs fixing or building. And even when he doesn't get something right the first time, it doesn't take long for him to correct his mistake. One day, Chico is trapped by a nefarious organ grinder intent on making the monkey his new dancing stooge. Fortunately, after the organ grinder takes Chico to his home, he indulges in operating a lot of his loud appliances at once. This is more than adequate to cover up the sound of Chico's tools as he takes a variety of steps towards escaping from his box. One rubber hammer later Chico is on the bus home (his fare having been contained in the belt as well). Safely tucked into bed, the monkey dreams of the things he'll build and invent tomorrow.
There is nothing quite so comforting as a competent hero. Monroe has created a story that is as kid-friendly as it is partly because you never really worry too badly for Chico. Even when he's in dire straits you're comforted by the very presence of his tool belt. The text may or may not do well as a readaloud though. I mean, the words do well when read but there are lots of tiny bits of text and images that deserve close one-on-one readings. For example, when we see Chico building things for a bunch of different people (docks for ducks, clocks for clucks, etc.) each picture is accompanied by a tiny insert of the tools he's using. Ditto the huge map showing the route the organ grinder took to get to his circus. Then again, you might be able to skim these areas if you wanted to present this book to a class. I don't think it would hurt the story any.
The art is great but the details really make it pop. Take Chico Bon Bon's tool belt for a starter. Of the multitude of tools found there, both real and imaginative, it's hard not to love Monroe's tiny details. The tool labeled "ouija" is indeed a ouija board's plaquette. The bungee hammer is floppity, the turkey wrench has feathers, and the banana hammer has a distinctly yellow cast. Really, most pictures contain a plethora of details if you're willing to look for them. I loved that when the circus tigers helped the previous monkey escape from the zoo they outfitted him with a bindle (and one of them glares at the organ grinder through the window later in the story). And my co-worker is convinced that the last image of Chico Bon Bon, dreaming of being shot out of a banana cannon, looks like no one so much as Brazilian skateboarder Bob Burnquist. I suspect that the resemblance is purely coincidental, but I could certainly be wrong.
Monkeys are funny. Tool belts are not funny. So how do we account for the fact that monkeys plus tool belts are very funny? I've no idea, but if Chris Monroe keeps churning out more picture books of this style and flavor, I'll be a happy woman. Definitely a keeper for the tool belt and monkey lovers of the world.Monkey with a Tool Belt OverviewWhether you need a beebersaw or a chisel, Chico Bon Bon's your monkey. He can build or fix just about anything--from a dock for the ducks to a clock for the Clucks, even a small roller coaster for local chipmunks. But will his tools and his sharp wit save him when an organ grinder sets his sights on making Chico a circus star? Chris Monroe's quirky hero and detailed illustrations will absorb readers in an entertaining adventure that shows there is an inventive way out of every problem--if you have the right tools.

The Organ Grinder And The Monkey ReviewInspired by the work of Sam Moffie, after reading NO MAD, I was extremely pleased to find that THE ORGAN
GRINDER AND THE MONKEY is as descriptive, and intelligent. The author is one of a kind, a master in creating unique characters, who come to life, with personalities the reader will remember. Seymour's dream is to
be a veterinarian, after he graduated college, he takes a trip to New York to fulfill his dream. Irving decides that he wants to join the New York City Police Department, after his haunting memory of being lost
on a field trip in his younger days, and being rescued by a police officer. Although Constance has a wealthy
family, the good fortunes were never shared with her. Her dream in life is to become a Rockette, but after
moving to New York City, she dances in a strip-club, where survival is the name of the game. With perfection,
the author weaves the lives of these three characters into an outrageous, humorous story in non-stop action, page-after-page. The life of each character and how they react to challenges and struggles is blended with
precision into the unfortunate of today's society as they venture out into the real woorld, and learn through
experience the difference between dreams, and reality. I highly recommend this novel to contemporary fiction
lovers, and anyone who enjoys an interesting story, packed with emotion, and humor. Sam Moffie has an
incredible imagination as he paints his creativity into an unforgettable dialogue, while the fast-paced
storytelling moves along with delight. Does Constance survive New York City? What factors in Seymour's life
left him emotionally traumatized? Do the three characters share anything in common? How did Irving's upbringing influence his attitude on the solutions to life's problems? As we read on, the author invites you
to step into a roller-coaster-ride of mixed-emotions, broken dreams, and psychological twists-and-turns
through the lives of dysfunctional personalities. The more you read, the more addicted you become to Sam Moffie's distinctive, refreshing, and hilarious voice. "THE ORGAN GRINDER AND THE MONKEY" is as entertaining as TRADING PLACES and as funny as ANALYZE THIS, with Robert De Niro, and Billy Crystal.The Organ Grinder And The Monkey OverviewSeymour Petrillo, Irving Hanhart and Constance Powers. Three private protagonists from vastly different backgrounds ultimately share a very public secret. From Steubenville, Ohio (Petrillo) to Boardman, Ohio (Powers) to Brookline, Massachusetts (Hanhart)-the three protagonists' imaginative and individual experiences are detailed. From humorous to outrageous to tragic, the reader is taken on a journey that finds an ending in New York City.
