Excitement Under the Sea 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This was the neatest Finding Nemo book! It has all you need to know about the little secret things about Finding Nemo! In fact, it's my favorite book! Finding Nemo is my favorite movie, and now I have a favorite book to match it! I especially like how even the moonfish and jellyfish get their own page full of information. The tank gang's bios were very interesting, as were overlooking of the dentist's office. Thank you Nemo!

All I can say is bad, real bad. Appendicitis was more fun.

irrelevant, witty and dark urban noir (in a small town) 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Sid Bifulco is a loyal lieutenant in the Palfutti family with at least ten kills to his credit and a weakness for red shoes. The authorities dropped a mike in his car recording conversations that could have sent him up the river for life if he didn't make a deal. For a lesser sentence he testified against his former employers including Johnny Fest and to preserve his life when he gets out of prison he makes another deal with the rival Camuchi gang who make sure that any Palfutti thug not in prison won't go after Sid. He also gets a tidy retirement egg.

In jail, he learns the rudiments of fishing and the warden takes him under his wing and promises him that he will visit him in his new home to go fishing with him. He also arranges that Sid can live out of state and report to a parole officer in Pennsylvania so he won't run into his former comrades. Sid's simple life gets very complicated when Johnny Fest breaks out of prison and goes gunning for Sid. When Sid's neighbor Russ Smonig runs over Johnny, Sid covers up the crime but neither man knows that there is a contract out on Russ or that Sid killed his wife. The convicts know that Sid has a videotape with incriminating evidence against them on it and want him protected at all costs but they don't want Russ killed because they would bring unwanted attention down on Sid.

If an urban noir (in a small town) can be irrelevant witty and darkly serious at the same time, than SLEEP WITH THE FISHES is that novel. Sid, an anti hero, finds it more dangerous being out of prison and wanting to fish than his tenure with the mob. The author uses irony in a macabre fashion to have Sid become a friend to a man who has a valid grudge against him. Sid swimming through fish infested waters is loads of fun.

Editorial Review:

What happens when mob turncoat Sid Bifulco retires to the Delaware Valley for the simple, country life after prison? There’s a dead hit man in the driveway, mayhem amongst the skin-flick fans down at the diner, and a warden wrestling a deranged state trooper in the flower garden. Not so simple.

A fun book from a great writer 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

How could a book by a Georgia boy who played football for the Saints, owned a dairy farm, and then became a magazine editor in Vermont be dull? Fersen writes with a strong wit, a sensitive touch, and an outdoorsman's realism. This is a witty and thoughtful book that makes you laugh out loud, and also gives an outsider's insight on what it's really like to move to the mountains of Vermont and live there and raise your family, not just to visit it for a weekend.

How to Fish

Editorial Review:

Sitting on a riverbank, with rod and line, must count as one of the most relaxing and enjoyable--yet occasionally frustrating--experiences known to man. Chris Yates discovered the joys of fishing early in life and was quickly hooked by its pleasures. Many years later, he is still content to sit, day after day, observing the quirks of different fish and losing track of time. For him, fishing is much more than just a question of technique; sometimes it's about listening to nothing but your instincts, and at other times it's about enjoying the perfect cup of tea. And it's always about not knowing how the day is going to unfold.

There's no better guide for the uninitiated--and no better companion for those already familiar with the satisfactions of fishing--than Chris Yates. And immersing yourself in How To Fish is almost as delightful an activity as fishing itself. From casting and reeling to whiling away the hours, How to Fish is a gem of a book that gets to the heart of our passion for angling: there's more to fishing than catching fish.

Delightfully Offbeat 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Tess Camillo is a great addition to the amateur sleuth community. She's quirky, intelligent, and vulnerable. Her wry and offbeat view of the world, not to mention a colorful background and supportive friends, serves her well as she looks for love, survives the upheaval of a mastectomy, and thwarts attempts on her life as she sticks her nose into the death of a woman murdered by a snake. Yikes!

Thanks, Morgan. I now check under my bed every night!

Editorial Review:

Shortly after amateur sleuth Tess Camillo discovers a rattlesnake under the bed of her San Diego home, another lesbian is killed with a snake. Police worry that they have a herpetophile serial killer on their hands. Neither Tess nor the police make much progress until a psychic contacts Tess, offering clues. With curiosity, humor and chutzpah, Tess confronts a rapist who raises rattlers, a nurse who fishes with strange bait, and a well-endowed scarecrow before she solves the case. Along the way she must face a breast cancer diagnosis and subsequent mastectomy. Breezily written, but with a rare, emotional undercurrent, this is the debut of a true new mystery star.

Editorial Review:

What does a London-based single mother do on her holidays? With a couple of weeks unexpectedly free and no chance of going away, Jane Shilling decided she would pursue a childhood ambition and learn to ride. A teacher -- Mrs. Rogers -- was easy to find. What she hadn't reckoned on was that Mrs. Rogers was a master of foxhounds. So began Jane's odd, late-blooming affair with foxhunting: the beginning of a passion that was to take her back to the scenes of her childhood and transform her life in ways that were unexpected, often enchanting, and frequently uncomfortable.

The Fox in the Cupboard is a vivid account of discovering a hidden, beautiful, and frequently comic world of horses and hunting in a small corner of England. It is a book about searching for the place where you belong, about embarking on an adventure at the very point in your life when you thought it was too late. It is also the story of a journey between the shifting worlds of town and country, childhood and adulthood, and a chronicle of the extraordinary characters the author met along the way.

Nervous Water: Variations on a Theme of Fly Fishing

Editorial Review:

Nervous water: sometimes it's nothing more than a fleeting crease or wrinkle on the surface of a lake or stream, or a small patch of salt water that looks as if it's shivering. But wise anglers know that such subtle surface movements are nearly always signs of fish stirring down below. The sport of fly fishing is like that. It has a reputation as a tranquil, contemplative sport, but something is nearly always going on down below: constant currents of new thought and theory, a relentless drive to develop new technologies, an ongoing muted chorus of debate. Esteemed fly fisher and author, Steve Raymond has contemplated many of these issues and presented them in articles and essays published in many magazines. Now, for the first time, many of these works have been collected in a single book - thirty-four variations on the theme of fly fishing. Together they form a selective, opinionated chronicle of the trends, developments, and changes in fly fishing from the 1960s to the present, along with a look back at some pioneers of the sport - and the fish that make it all possible. Most of these pieces have been updated, expanded, or otherwise revised or edited for publication in this book; several appear here for the first time. Some tackle important topics (such as the very definition of fly fishing itself), and others take a light look at the more trivial angling concerns (such as how, or even whether, to dress for fishing). A thoughtful, engaging contemplation of this complex sport, "NervousWater" belongs on the shelf of anyone who loves fly fishing.

Editorial Review:

Joseph Heywood's fishing novel, The Snowfly, received rave reviews, reeling in readers who love great fiction along with those who love to fish. Now we can finally understand the extent of the author's passion for the sport, and revel in his own admission: he rarely catches any! And yet, Heywood loves to fish, almost more than anything else. In fact, he left his corporate job to retire to a lifetime of fly fishing the waters of his beloved Michigan.
COVERED WATERS is a collection of his wanderings and wonderings about fishing and life, and how the two are connected. The book begins just after the author has had a stroke. As he lies in his hospital bed, he looks back on his life and reminisces about his days in the U.S. Air Force, training to drop nukes on the Soviet Union in the Cold War; his experiences in Vietnam; his temporary but intense obsession with bear hunting (which ended the moment he finally killed a bear); and, of course, his international adventures in fishing, recounting such hilarious episodes as when he happened upon two women in France engaged in what appeared to be strip fishing--wherein each time one caught a fish, the other had to remove an article of clothing. After fishing the world over, Heywood finds that there is no water like home water, and no fishing partners like old friends.
