Bart Simpson,Reverend Lovejoy, & Kent Brockman Wore Ties, Already?
On The First Page Of It, Bart Simpson & Reverend Lovejoy & Kent Brockman
"Mmmmm....beer trap"
Although the title of this book is "Barn Burner," there are no country/farm themed comics here.In fact, a golf-related title would be more appropriate as there are several golf references at the end of this book.So, if you are a fan of golf and the Simpsons, this comic book is for you!Overall, there are a lot of good ideas here, but some of them fall flat.The book gets better after the first three comics.
Hilarious comic book filled with laughter!
A great Simpsons comics choice. Laugh-out-loud humor and great plotlines. My personal favorite is Marge Vs. Smithers. I also really love The Paper Chase. This comic book is just crack-up great, in some spots though the humor is dry and the plots are a bit dull like A Swingin' Affair. Decent jokes there, and as well as the Groundskeeper Willie "If I Invented Golf" thing? Homer's rendition is way better. Although of the hidden flaws. No need to nitpick! This book is "banjo-fiddlin' darn-tootin' barn-burnin' fun"! My good buddy, you'll be all night reading this! I know for a fact that I slept over a friend's house [...] and he could not stop reading it! He read it before we fell asleep, and he read it for 2 hours in the morning until I woke up! Well, great fun in these easy-to-picture-as-episode comics. Toe-tapping greatness!.....OK I'll stop with the dry redneck humor. :) ... Read more

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BOOK!!!
In this book "The Stepsister", you will read horrible things that will keep you reading for hours. Maybe even days! Usually when I start to read a book, I never finish it. But this book, once I started to read it... I could not stop reading it! In this book Emily Casey is the main character and her mom is getting married to her soon to be step dad. He and his two kids, Jesse and Rich are moving in with Emily and her family. They soon move in and not even two days later, weird things begin to happen to Emily. Changes... So far her and Jesse have not gotten along so far at all. Jesse for no reason is doing all these evil things to Emily!! Emily just knows it's her! Jesse puts peroxide in her shampoo to change her hair color, she tries to steal her boyfriend, and thats not all! Death taking things happen! If you want to find out what happens, then you should read this book. If you like twisted, evil, back-stabbing books... Well then what are you waiting for! Read this book! I did.

An excellent start to the final trilogy of the series
Part of what fascinated me about this book right from the beginning was that all the kids, while still in character, seemedway older, and supposedly only a few months had passed between The Emperor's Plague and this book.It was an extremly well written book, with a well defined, understandable plot.In it, Jacen and Jaina and Anakin all go on a short vacation with their Dad (Han of course) to go and check out a really cool race on OrdMantell.Once they get there they meet Anja Gallandro, a girl who hates Han because she believes he murdered her father.She plays on his guilt, and somehow convinces him to go try to right a bloody civil war on her home planet.Through an interesting chain of events they meet back up with there other friends (big surpise), as well as Anja who by the way is not only working for some evil smuggler guy, but also is addicted to some kind of drug.I also find it very interesting that all through this whole series Jacen is hung up on Tenel Ka, and now the instant some other pretty girl comes into the picture, he instantly forgets she ever even existed, and I sense the same thing beginning to happen to Zekk and Jaina too.This only serves evenmore to convince me that these budding relationships were silly to begin with, though I must admit I always enjoyed Jacen and Tenel Ka.As for Anja herself, well, she was cool and all but I found myself not really liking her much, and I just couldn't really care about her like I could the other characters.She just seemed more like a glorified and somewhat twisted version ofan early Mara Jade to me.Another thing that bothered me was that even though Anakin was with them throughout the whole book, he was practicly ignored and it seemed as if they somehow forgot about him at some points.This was somewhat irritating because Anakin has always been my favorite of the Solo children.Besidesthose minor details though, this was an exellent book.I also think it is cool that a Star Wars book can deal with serious issues such as drug adiction.I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Star Wars, though it will probably make more sense if you have read the previous 11 first.

An adequate beginning of the end
This is the first book in a new YJK trilogy, Under Black Sun, which will conclude (and had already done so) the Young Jedi Knights books.Ah yes,all good things must come to an end.But if this is any indication, it'sgoin' out with bang.It starts with Han and his kids going to Ord Mantell(where Han and Leia where almost captured by a pair of bounty hunters overtwenty year before.)Han is there to judge a Blockade Runner race, and onthe pace lap, the Falcon is nearly blown to space dust by a minefieldplanted by Black Sun.Anakin takes a piece of the mines to analyze it. Enter Anja Gallandro, however, and things get hot.She takes the piece ofthe mine, and faces down Han, who supposedly killed her father during hisadventures twenty-five years before.Zekk, Tenel Ka, and Lowie enter theLightning Rod in the race, and the YJK are reunited.Anja challenges Hanto go to her war-torn planet, Anobis, where the farmers and miners areconstantly at war, blaming each other for the conflict.The kids get splitbetween the mining camps and the farming village, but are reunited and areable to sow the seeds of peace between the warring groups.Anja returnswith theYJK to Yavin 4 to see if she had any Force potential, and thebook concludes.The authors leave some interesting loose ends to tie up,which are drawn into neat little bow-ties at the end, except for a couple;-)See my Crisis on Crystal Reef if you *really* don't get it.

Could Be Better
The rest of the series is really awesome but since the lately its been more about Jaina/Zekk and Jason/Tenel Ka's infatuations with each other.It'd be better if they just had more of the action than the mushy fallingin love stuff.It is science fiction after all. ... Read more

Good Source for Seasons 9 & 10
This book is one in a continuing series of reference for the show.In particular, this book deals with episodes from the ninth and tenth seasons of the "Simpsons."Here, we are given summaries of each episode, as well as the chalkboard and couch gags that came along, and interesting trivia about the episodes.If you own the first one (which I suggest you should, if you don't already)), I would definitely recommend this book, as well as to any person who loves the show.

As the cover says, a complete guide...continued...
THE SIMPSONS FOREVER! A COMPLETE GUIDE TO OUR FAVORITE FAMILY...CONTINUED is probably the best book on the Simpsons that I've read, along with THE SIMPSONS: A COMPLETE GUIDE TO OUR FAVORITE FAMILY. It includes, and I am taking this right from the cover, more characters, episodes, and secret jokes you might have missed from seasons 9 and 10...and then some! The book was created by Matt Groening and edited by Scott M. Gimple. It details each episode and even has extras: Do The Bartman; Deep, Deep Trouble; A Tribute to Troy McClure; Homer Says; Couch Gags; Who Does What Voice; and Songs Sung Simpson.
Seasons 9-10, Complete
The first book covers seasons 1-8. This book only covers two seasons: 9 and 10. Each episode gets a two page spread, while many of the episodes in the first book only had one page. This allows far greater detail to be covered.Read more

"A Where's Waldo book written by the Devil"---Ned Flanders
Belly Buster is another solid Simpsons comic book with the same type of art and humor you get from the television shows.There are a lot of shorts in this one but, for the most part, the comics offer good story lines with lots of typical Simpsons satire.
I thought it was good
I think it was funny and I also showed some of my freinds that dont even watch the Simpsons and they thought it was good. ... Read more

Door to Alternity
"Door to Alternity" continues the "Unseen" triligy with the connection between missing children in L.A. and monsters appearing in droves in Sunnydale becoming clearer.Team Angel and The Scobbie Gang are working harder than ever as they try to solve the mysteries and keep the monsters under control.Also the reason for all these strange occurences becomes clear; it dates back to a Cold War science experiment by the KGB to alter reality, all for the glory of the State.Now it is being used to try to blackmail prominant U.S. citizens to bring back the glory days.Also a gang war brakes out between the Mexican Mob and the Russians.All of this makes for a very complicated story, there is a lot going on.Sometimes it gets a little confusing, but never so bad you can't follow the story.It was ok, but certainly suffering from being the bridge book.You have a lot of information and set up for the last book.

Door to Alternity Review
I can't figure out what Salma is runnign from even tough i read books 2 and 3 of the crossover!!!

Wonderful! Enchanting!
I really enjoyed this series and each book just keeps getting better and better.I love the whole love triangle of two vampire brothers and the beautiful young girl torn between them!
Another fantastic read!
The thrills keep on coming in this book as the mystery deepens and you find yourself trying to solve the mystery along with the other characters.
"I Hate You the Most. Because I Loved You the Best"
"The Fury" is the third book in the "Vampire Diaries" saga by L. J. Smith, which really should have been the last in the series, but was followed up by an unfortunate and unneccessary sequel. But that belongs in another review, and "The Fury" is a reasonably satisfying wrap-up of the events begun in "The Awakening" and "The Struggle".Read more

Review
It was a decent book good suspense. It started off as a little slow and got faster then went to slow and boring and confusing. It picked up and got to be faster and easier to understand.

The Next Best Thing To The TV Show!!
I have a dozen Simpsons comic books and they all brim with comics, mock advertisements, top ten lists, Itchy and Scratchy shorts, etc. which sport that famous television series humor. Here's what awaits you in this issue: The show is as good as this
The Simsons comics extravaganza is purfect.the best of all the books(The books i own.)My fave is"The Amazing Colossal Homer."It reflects Burns' black soul and Homers Dumness.All the other comics in this bookarepurfect too.

It may not be the show but it is just as good.
For Simpson Comics Extravangsa(I know its wrong).it gives the first 4 episodes in the Simpson Comics.My favoriate part was the one with Robert Tewliger( Sideshow Bob).It is better to get the single comics, but thebook looks nice. ... Read more

a very exciting book
This is the first long Star Wars book I ever read and I was quite impressed. With Anja Gallendro's growing addiction to andris spice she decides to steal Zekk's ship THE LIGHTNING RODto go and get more spice from Kessel. Jacen, Jaina, Tenel Ka, Lowbacca and Zekk decide to go after her to stop her spice addiction and get Zekk's ship back. When they get to Kessel they learn that the administraitor has had a assasination attempt on him and Anja has left to Mon Calanmari. Leaving Jaina & Lowbacca to watch over the administrator. When the rest of the gang arrives at Mon Calamari they meet with the Jedi healer/ambassador they meet Anja and decide to destroy the evil Czethros (who smuggles andris spice) spice hideaway under the ocean. But Czethros has landed troops on Kessel for a takeover,and only Jaina & Lowbacca stand in his way! The book is exciting with lots of action. I recomend it to all Star Wars readers.

An excellent finish to the saga
After many adventures and many friendships, not to mention fourteen novels, the much loved saga of the Young Jedi Knights has finally come to an end.I greeted this book with a measure of respect, and also a touch of sadness.I expected it to be onethe best yet, and I was not disapointed.For a brief summery, Anja finally admits to herself that she is addicted to Andris Spice, (a type of drug) and, though she is trying to quit, she finally can't stand it any more.She steals Zekk's ship, The Lightning Rod, and heads for the spice mines of Kessal to get a few more doses to "tie her over" while she figures out what to donext.Naturally, the Young Jedi Knights go after her, and they eventually track her down to Crystal Reef, Calimari, and that's where the real adventure starts...In short, this book provided a fine close to this final trilogy, with (at last) an awesome confrontation with Czethros and Black Sun, as well as coming to terms with the question of Anja's adiction to spice.Speaking ofAnja, this book really seemed to redeem her.I didn't like her at all at first, because of how much of a jerk she always is, andbecause it seemed that she was trying to replace Tenel Ka, whom I have always liked.She was better in this book, because she was at last admitting her mistakes to herself and to others and trying to set things right.Also, while this book solved the delima of this trilogy, there were many loose ends left unsatisfied, and it didn't seem to bring true closure to the wholeseries, except in the last few pages.For instance, what ever happened to Raynar after the death of his father?He was never one of my favorite characters anyway, but it should have been Zekk who was left out, not Raynar.Now that Zekk is no longer a villian and his healing processes are through, we really don't need him anymore except to be The Boy That Jaina Likes.I was never to enthusiastic about that boring relationship.Jacen and Tenel Ka were much better.Also, what happened to Raaba? Is she ever going to come back?They should have brought her back in this book.And I would have prefered it if all the Young Jedi Knights were together in their final adventure, instead of just Jaina and Lowie getting to fight the last battle.Anja, Jacen, Zekk, and Tenel Ka are instead all under Crystal Reef destroying the Andris, and while this has as much to do with the main plot as anything else, they are not all together and that is the point.Other than that though, there is nothing else wrong with this excellent book, and I would recommend this series to any Star Wars fan.

The end is at hand
It's over.The YJK series is at an end, but it's kind of unsatisfying end.To be brief, Anja, suffering from spice withdrawl, steals theLightning Rod and jets to Kessel to get some of the drug.She learns ofCzethros's hidden stash on Mon Calamari, and then goes there to find it. Lowie and Jaina go to Kessel and end up disrupting Black Sun's takeover ofNien Nunb's spice mining operation, and travel to Mon Cal to help out Zekkand Tenel Ka and Jacen.Ambassador Cilghal provided the group with a suband the YJK make for the ice caps and then destroy the spice cache.Anjanearly dies until the Knights use a healing trance on her.They are nearlyeaten by a sea monster looking for a nice snack, but they survive andreturn to the academy.Anja, discovering that she has no Force potential,goes to Cloud City and works with Lando to run the establishment.Thisbook is drawn to a very disappointing close, with Jacen giving Tenel Ka anecklace and Zekk promising to let Jaina be his copilot whenever shewanted.I figured that since these relationships had been building over 2years, that they would have a better end (in print.)However, there aremany fan fictions dealing with that sort of thing, should you be soinclined.And that leaves me to wonder, in the New Jedi Order, where areZekk and Tenel Ka?It's like they never existed.Oh well.May the Forcebe with you guys! ...

Drawin' the Simpsons
This is just great! I'm sure every Simpsons fan has wondered if they could draw America's favorite family, and I'm sure plenty of you have got it down-packed. But if you just can't draw Bart's head, or Marge's body, I strongly suggest you buy this book (and afterwords, if you STILL can't draw them right, trace, hee hee). The book teaches you how to draw Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie's anatomy, and the best thing about the book is if you look at a picture of another character (for example, Apu), you can use Homer's anatomy (not making him so fat, mind you) and draw Apu from there. It's a great guide, so if you're a Simpsons fan and love to draw...buy it. Buy it now!

This is one of the best cartooning books ever
I am an illustrator, animator, AND I work at Fox. My copy of this book has gotten so much use over the 7-odd years I've had this, it should be falling apart. This is why this is such a great book: Wanna draw the Simpsons? Get this book!
Let's start this review with some reality. If you read the buying info carefully you will note the book is only 36 pages! So you are not going to get a college course in all of the Simpsons methods!...This book only gives you info on the Simpsons core family...Bart,Lisa,Maggie,Marge and (My Fav) Homer! Just learning to draw his stubby fat fingers is a riot!And yes,....you do learn secrets! You learn the secrets to the scale and balance of these characters....that Marge's hair is about 2 bowling balls high, bart's hair has 9 points, Lisa's hair has 8 points, you learn how many eyelashes each character has and how to place them, how the eyeballs should be placed on the head in comparison to the nose, how each characters hands and feet details should be drawn..... True, it is only 36 pages but it does give you all you need to start drawing the Simpsons family. What did I not like about this book? I really wanted tips on Mr. Burns, Moe, Smithers, Krusty.. Who is this book for? This book might be for a beginner but I doubt it. Want to learn how to draw? Look elsewhere. Someone with some skill or ability who wants to learn how to draw the Simpsons? Yes! On the side for extra cash do you street sketch, air brush at the local mall, do cartoons, do charicatures? Well, then get this book and use it to expand your portfolio. Are you just a kid (8 yrs to 88yrs old) who loves the Simpsons and wants to be able to look cool with your friends by drawing them?Get this book, live your life, be happy and have fun! ... Read more

this book is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this book there's so many good charecter's (I like lowie the most in this book!!!!!!!!!!) and I love the theme park
This book deserves 10 stars!
Well, I have to say that this was the best Young Jedi Knights book to come along in a while.Oh, but don't get me wrong, they're all good, but a few definitly stand above the others.Namely, Lightsabers, Jedi Under Siege, Jedi Bounty, and The Emperor's plague.And now Trouble on Cloud City has joined the ranks of the great.In this book, Lando askes Jacen, Jaina, Lowie, Tenel Ka, Anja, and Em Teedee to come with him to Cloud City to help supervise a new amusement park he is building there.When they get there however, they find that Lando's partner has been murdered, and they set out to find who did it.Anja knows of course, or at least guesses that her master Czethros is at work and she struggles on many moral points concerning her new friends, and her growing adiction to Andris Spice.Actually, in this book I found myself softening a bit towards Anja, who I previously hated.I still don't like her nearly as much as the other characters, but I began to realize that she is a victim is her own right, since it isn't her fault she was mislead and used and duped into Andris.Also, this book focused a lot on Tenel Ka, who is my favorite character in the series, and allowed us toget inside her, and see her thoughts and feelings in a way that has not been done since the masterpiece of Lightsabers.Her reaction when Jacen fell of Cloud City was heartbreaking, and I'll confess, that the scene where they all thought that they would never see him again almost had me in tears, and I never, EVER cry over books or movies or anything.I liked how this booklet us see how much Tenel Ka truly cares about Jacen.Speaking of Jacen, his crush on Anja seems to have ended, which may in fact be what opened me up to her a bit, since I was always adamently against that.Anyway, I would recommend this series toany Star Wars fan, no matter what their age, even though they are generaly geared towards the 10-15 set.Also, this book wouldhave a stronger effect on you and generally make more sense if you have read the previous twelve first, though if that is to much work, it is at least reccomeded that you read the one beforeit.

If you love Star Wars you will love this series!
These are great books! This book is great for begginers.The story is great, the plot is great, it's very intriging.The book is about Jason, Jaina, and Tenel Ka, and Lobaca.Lando Calorisian is inviting the Young Jedi Knights to his Resort on Cloud City.The kids will come as long as they can bring their friend Anga Gilrado.But what they will find out is...You'll just have to read the book.It's a great book as a gift.It's a must for all Star Wars fans. ...

I Think Kathy Bates May Have Ordered This MISERY
I was so eager to read the Dark Reunion because the entire series up until this point had been nothing short of amazing.As I waited for the last book to arrive, I couldn't help but skim over a few reviews, most of which were not that positive.Oh, how I should've listened to the warnings.This book was AWFUL!I enjoyed it up until the point Damon decided to disappear for a few chapters (he and Bonnie are my favorite characters).
No comparison to the first three.
Unless you're the kind of person who cannot stand to read a book without a happy ending...don't bother.The resurection of Elena is contrived...and it seems like it's just an effort to capitalize on the (well deserved) success of the first three novels.and um, it's a trilogy.why are there four books? It doesn't always make sense, and is pretty pointless.Don't beat a dead horse...this book proves it, even if they don't stay dead, it's just not a good idea.

a book that is out of this world!!!
this book was g8 but i thought it was to short. elena comes bak rite at the end i want to no wot hapens next. so L.J.Smith is there gonna a next book and if so whens does it come out? im dieing to no!!!!!!

Audrey S. review
I liked this book a lot because it made me want to keep on reading to find what happened next.
The Wrong Number recommended to you
The most important thing I remembered about this book "The Wrong Number," was that it was super interesting and intense! Someone else would definitely want to read this book because it stays very good throughout the whole story. It really keeps you interested and wanting to read more. Any one who is any age can relate to this book. Since, it is about two teenage girls, a boy might want to read the back of the book first.
A little dull....but still a ok book
First off i love all fear street and R.L Stine books im not saying this was a horrible book......but most of the story was a little dull.....They get a phone call from some random lady and they over hear her getting killed.That was the best part of the whole book.But most of it is these 2 girls having problems with realationships.......and making calls to stupid ppl...like i said b4 this is a not a terrible book but i wouldnt recommend it. ...

Tom Swift + re-invention = GREAT!
This is a great book in the newly re-invented Tom Swift series. In fact, this would have made a better book #1 and introduction to this new series (some early cover art shows this as #1 in the Young Inventor series.) Tom and his family, friends, and environment are nicely introduced in this story. We have descriptions of the characters and the town of Shopton (which boasts a "Statemeyer Street" and is said to by quite bustling). Another great nod to the original Tom Sift and Tom Swift Jr series is the lobby of Swift enterprises, which holds a museum to Tom's father's early inventions (including the Giant Robot., G-force inverter, triphibian atomicar, etc from the Tom Swift Jr series of the 50's and 60's.) Mr. Swift is married to Mary Nestor, and Tom's little sister is Sandy.I feel these are nice touches to long-time fans of the series. Tom's friends are funky and fun, and they make a well rounded trio for todays readers. Overall, a great book, with books #1 and #2 a perfect introduction to the new Tom Swift, Young Inventor series! ... Read more
