Not what I was expecting.......2007-09-03

This book was not at all what I was expecting from Stephen King. It is written like a fairy tale story. It took me a while to get into it, but once I got used to the writing style it was not bad. The characters where well written, and the story moves at a good pace. I found I did not get hooked on the story completely until about half way through, and then I could not put it down.
It helped me to put things in perspective when a friend told me that Stephen King wrote this book for his kid. A fairy tale of Princes, and dragons, and dark wizards, death and friendship. A story written by King that his child could actually be allowed to read :0)

I am the King.......2007-08-28

once again an amazing book from mr. stephen king. not at all like his other books but still very very good. Also unlike his other books there are no major plot twists or anything like that. Majority of the story is revealed to you in the first 100 pages. But it still keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see whats gonna happen next. Overall a great read.

Great Story.......2007-07-01

I'm not a huge fan of fantasy books but I couldn't put this one down. It's only the second fantasy book I've ever read (and loved). The first being, 'The Hobbit'.

One of his best novels.......2007-06-14

I read this as a teenager some time ago and had fond memories of it being one of my favorite books of all time. I recently decided to read it again prior to re-reading the first three Gunslinger novels. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I enjoyed it just as much the second time around. I strongly recommend this book to Dark Tower fans.

Me Likey.......2007-06-04

Not being a huge King fan--don't get me wrong, I don't dislike him, I just don't care for horror novels, I'm a sissy--I love this book. It's a departure from the aforementioned genre and the content delves into a more fantastic realm. I heard it was intended for his daughter at the time. I love all the details and descriptions--this is a great book for children/preteens, though I still love it (and I'm quite a bit older than a preteen...)Give it a read, it's a nice change from killer dogs and creepy sewer clowns.

Not just for kids.......2007-10-08

Erec Rex is really fun - a 12-year-old boy with a glass eye is called to rescue his adopted mother and plunges into a magical world where the king has been hypnotized as part of an evil plot to take over the magical world as well as the "Upper World," where Muggles are called "Losers," since they lost their knowledge of magic. (Erec and his friend Bethany are branded with Ls on their foreheads until they become accustomed to magic - one of the funny, contemporary touches of Kingsley's style.)

There's courage and obstacles and magic and children, so it's being desperately packaged and marketed as the next Harry Potter. There's even a quote on the back from a senior editor at Writer's Digest saying, "Erec Rex is poised to take over Harry Potter's long reign." The publishers seem to have taken this to heart, hiring a British illustrator with cover and chapter designs a little too similar - even the damn fonts for each chapter title are the same as Harry's. It's a shame, because this book is more original than derivative (though purists will compare the ongoing competition to The Goblet of Fire's Triwizard Tournament). The ending suggests many sequels to follow.

An engaging adventure, accessible to readers of all ages.......2007-10-07

Writer, artist, singer, and movie buff Kaza Kingsley presents Erec Rex: The Dragon's Eye, a fantasy adventure novel for young adults set in the magical world of Alypium, a place hidden within our own world and brimming with mysterious magic and wondrous creatures. But something has gone wrong with the very Substance that connects the planet, and an evil presence whispers its plot to destroy all. The king is hypnotized and his castle is turned on its side. And twelve-year-old Erec Rex has been forcibly transported from our world to this strange place in peril. He must learn how to survive in Alypium, uncover hidden truths about himself; ultimately, only the powers of trust and love can help save him, his mother, and all of Alypium. An engaging adventure, accessible to readers of all ages but especially recommended for YA libraries and reading shelves.

Erec Rex: Excellent .......2007-08-06

I picked Erc Rex up at Barnes and Noble for no real particular reason. I started reading it after I had finished the last Harry Potter book. Though it took me about three chapters to get into the book, after I did it really flowed. Ms. Kingsley is quite talented and imaginative. I had never heard of someone using remote controls for magic in place of say a wand. When you look at her world she created as a whole it makes a person smile, in her world anyone can use / learn magic. Even though its fantasy its nice to think of such a place.

Erec is a boy of 12, and he has 5 siblings. The family is quite poor and has to move around. The day Erec's mother goes missing is the day his life changes and his adventure starts. I look forward to reading the 2nd installment in Erec's adventures this fall.

Engaging fantasy.......2007-06-14

At first, I thought this book was a little too much like Harry Potter but the author creates a complex reality and mythology that captured my imagination. It whetted my appetite for the sequel as it left many unanswered questions to ponder. This is just the book I needed to relax and get away from the everyday cares. I will definitely read the next installment!

Erec Rex, the Dragons eye.......2007-04-20

Erec Rex the Dragon's Eye

Kaza Kingsley

Erec Rex the Dragon's Eye is a fast paced cliffhanging "I want to read more" novel. It is similar to the Harry Potter novels; however I liked this book more. One reason is because it isn't as big, there are not as many hard to understand words, and there are only three books in the series. This book is perfect for readers that like stories about mystical places and dragons.
Have you ever not known about your past? This is Erec's situation. Erec's dad isn't in the story and his mother has disappeared. Erec is quite wise for age, and he is aided by his "cloudy thoughts". Bethany, a girl that has the gift of mathematics shares Erec's adventures. Bethany can also get annoying at times, but is quite friendly.
There is a cave that Aoquesth the dragon lives in. He is free and lives in a cave full of treasures. He also owns a cape of one of the foolish castle workers. Aoquesth tells Erec that he has a great power and will use it for good not, evil. Aoquesth also tells Erec that his father cared so much about him that he left a dragon's eye for him with the Aoquesth. A dragon's eye and an unthinkable amount of power, and one of the power's is to see into the future.
This book is so exciting and with so many daring feats. I love it! I think that this book would be great for Harry Potter lovers. Kids that want to read Harry Potter novels but aren't strong enough readers, will enjoy these books. I'm looking forward to reading the second book when it becomes available.

A very strange man.......2007-06-13

Lowell Cauffiel has done a tremendous job in detailing the investigation of Diane King's murder. Her husband, Brad King, was the main suspect after the initial interviews and crime scene reconnaissance, but with some police errors and departmental territorialism, the forensic evidence that could have tied Brad to the murder was lost or inadmissible. I felt the frustration of the prosecutors and Diane's family during the year after her murder, particularly after learning so much about Brad and what a very strange person he is. I also appreciated that Diane King was portrayed realistically - with both positive and negative attributes. It was very interesting to read the psychological profiles of Brad King and what behaviorists have written on criminals, and at the end of the book Cauffiel noted his own analysis of the man and the crime. It's a sad story, very well written.

Should be labeled "Fiction".......2006-06-30

I came across this book very recently. Although the actual events occured over 10 yrs ago, it still interested me.

As the author presents it, this seems like a very dramatic, compelling story. Unfortunately, the truth exists and this is not it. I was a student of Brad King's at the time these events took place and very obviously, this rendition is off.

The author should be ashamed that he wrote such a sensationalized account to sell books.

4.5 Rounded up.......2004-10-11

This is another of those (in)famous "true crime" books that are a delight to read despite their subject matter. The research was stupendous but best of all was the ability of the author to create a compelling story from the disparate components. True, this is no FATAL VISION or HELTER SKELTER but it is a very good read. My only complaint is one heard often - too much unimportant detail that detracts from the power of the story. Bradford King was almost obscenely compelling as the "average Joe" who went over the top and committed the ultimate crime. Good Read.

A thorough book but needs editing.......2003-06-02

Caulfiel's look at the sensational murder of Battle Creek, Michigan anchor woman Diane King is extremely detailed and encompasses a wide range of issues. To Caulfiel's credit, he avoids overdramatizing events and putting a distinct spin on the story. This is a pitfall some true crime writers fall into but Caulfiel does not. He also paints a vivid picture of the small town atmosphere of Marshall, Michigan. The comments from King himself are also intriguing.

My main complaint with this book is that it is far too long. Much of the more boring mintuae of the investigation is unnecessary and plodding to read. A lot of issues are rehashed several times. Also, very little detail is given about how King's children were faring with her family after the trial. That would have been time better spent.

All in all, it's a good effort but could use some paring down.

This guy can brilliantly tell a story.......2001-11-15

Another masterpiece by Mr.Cauffiel.He has the ability to make me feel I was actually there watching this sick scene play itself out. How could king do this to the mother of his kids?!This guy is actually one of Cauffiel's oddest killer's yet.How did he think he could get away with it? How could he have actually ever become a cop?? Also included in this book are some good family photos,including some unintentionally hilarious pictures of killer king himself,obese and bald in a cheap looking plaid suit.What did these women see in this absolute moron?A MUST READ

Book Description

In this collection of essays, Florence King confirms her position as one of the wittiest social critics now writing-and certainly the most uninhibited. Nothing escapes her withering gaze, from our greatest national institution ("Democrazy"), to the cult of Helpism ("Does Your Child Taste Salty?"), to the rules of historical romance writing ("Sex and the Saxon Churl"). If caring 'n' compassion are getting you down, open this book for a refreshing whiff of vitriol.

Customer Reviews:

You'll laugh till you hurt and think until you cry.......2007-10-19

Simply put, Florence King is one of two people that I consider the best American essayists and writers of our modern era. Her writing has always been concise - Reflections in a Jaundiced Eye shows that talent in its highest art form.

From her chapter on writing a romance novel to her chapter on John Updike, King nails her points to the door of thought and reason and lays it all out for everyone to read. While some of the material is dated (you had to live through the Reagan era to see the brilliance of her take on his style of communication) it is well worth diving into.

King is a true Conservative. However, unlike people today who run around and scream that they are conservatives (case intentional) and base their conservatism on type of Medieval thinking that pushed monks up into monasteries to protect knowledge, King embraces learning, in herself and she expects it of her readers. If you are going to read King and get what she is saying, you the reader will need to be prepared to think for self.

The simple truth is that King has never received the type of critical acclaim that she has deserved. Had she, "Florence King" would be a household name, and she deserves that place in our collective minds.

Lukewarm.......2007-08-11

This collection of "essays" is amusing enough, but disappointingly unsatisfying next to the superb Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady, having nowhere near its level of wit and precision. I hesitate to really call these short pieces essays because they err too far on the side of memoir, and King just sort of shuffles around the point she wants to make in a rangy, rambling manner and then abruptly breaks off. Perhaps Confessions is superior because it is purely a memoir without the essayist aspirations, and King's real strength lies in clever storytelling. Her take on essays is far too topical, and for all her talk of being an intellectual, her theses are more often backed up by passing observations, a quote or two from popular culture (oddly, these often come from Phyllis Schlafly, with whom she seems mildly obsessed), and inventive stories about Aunt Beas and Miss MacEntyres than by any real scholarly research.

Stick to storytelling.

the marvelous misanthrope.......2002-12-07

Florence King has a winning way with words and a rapier sharp wit; a rare soul who lives and writes by her own set of rules, few subjects are spared her criticism, as she pokes holes in the politically correct culture of the day.
Following in the tradition of her mother who was a "muleskinner cusser", Miss King decries the "decline and fall of profanity" which has dwindled down to a few meager 4 letter words. She also has much to say about the pandering of the "Helpists", "personality over character", her aversion to children, and more.

Being one myself, I thoroughly enjoyed Chapter 4, "Spinsterhood is Powerful". She says in this chapter: "I am often accused of being an anti-feminist, and my name is mud at Ms. Magazine, but in truth my whole life has been a feminist statement. The conflict lies not in my outlook and attitudes but in the definition of feminism that has been foisted on America in the late twentieth century".
Chapter 16, about her foray into the lusty romance novel genre (which she wrote under the pseudonym of Laura Buchanan) is hilarious, as are her efforts to write a magazine piece on the work of John Updike.

This collection of 18 essays was originally published in '89, and is a good example of her cynical but humorous viewpoint. Though dreadfully missed as a contributor to National Review Magazine, where she has recently taken her leave (her "Misanthrope's Corner" had graced the back page for decades), her books will continue to delight me, in their uniqueness and passionate spirit of independence.

A purely superb book- straight shots of wit throughout.......1999-07-12

This is simply a fine book. There exists not another fine wit like this anywhere, now that Mencken is dead.

George Will wrote of Miss King- "If Mencken were alive, he would be her". This is the highest praise imagineable, and well deserved.

Book Description

Jonathon King, award-winning author of The Blue Edge of Midnight, makes his highly anticipated stand-alone debut with Eye of Vengeance—a taut, evocative thriller about a man torn between justice and revenge. . . .

When a convicted murderer is dramatically gunned down in front of a corrections facility with a single bullet to the head, journalist Nick Mullins is quickly dispatched by his newspaper to cover the story. A veteran crime reporter, Nick is no stranger to scenes of violence and loss, but a coincidence immediately draws him into the investigation: The victim was a featured subject in one of his earlier news stories.

Nick himself is still struggling with the aftermath of another crime: a car accident caused by a drunk driver that took the lives of his wife and one of their two daughters. Now, with a nine-year- old to raise on his own, Nick is trying to balance single-fatherhood with a career that daily puts him into the dark corners of death and justice. But this new shooting soon leads to another discovery. Researching his past stories, Nick finds that just months earlier, a man he exposed for killing his own wife was murdered in his car. The MO: a single gunshot to the head. And when a third man Nick wrote about is murdered in the same way, it becomes clear that a serial sniper is on the loose . . . and he has his eye on Nick. With everything on the line—his family, his career, and his own life—Nick must figure out who is next in the crosshairs before it's too late. BACKCOVER: Praise for the novels of Jonathon King:
“King crafts a fine balance between individual elements of the story, while steering an intriguing mystery plot. . . . King has shown he can dazzle.”
—THE MIAMI HERALD ON A KILLING NIGHT

“Just about as perfect as a crime novel can be.”
—THE INDEP : ENT (UK) ON SHADOW MEN

Ah, Florida........2007-09-07

Interesting insight on the world of modern newspapers. The sniper angle has been done, and better, before. King writes well, you won't be bored, but hope for better the next time.

Not as good as the Max Freeman Books.......2007-07-28

I have recently discovered Jonathon Kings first Novel, The Blue Edge of Midnight which was excellent. I tend to get "hooked" on a character and enjoy following this character through several books. That may have been why I didn't enjoy Eye of Vengeance as much. I may have been reading a few too many mysteries as I guessed what was going on about halfway through. It was a quick read but not too hard to put down like the Max Freeman books are. Not a great book but good enough.

Hit and miss effort by King.......2007-01-12

I am writing this review after enjoying most of 'Eye of Vengeance'. I usually try to reflect on what I have just read and think about the plot and character development before making a judgement on the book. I scanned the other reviews here and saw one written by a Patricia Taylor and have to say that I could totally see this book in her very negative light. I think I am going easy on 'Eye of Vengeance' because it is a genre book that really has very few rivals in its class.

First of all, you have to realize that this is a machismo sniper narrative. A lot of authors have made their mark in this arena, perhaps most notably Jack Higgins. However, King has twisted the genre on its head just a little and brought in an investigative mystery thriller edge to it. King gives us a pretty interesting character in the broken spirited news hound Nick Mullins who lost most of his family in a car wreck. He is a morose person and good at the core of his being, so the psychological examination that King puts him through is both revealing and at the same time limited in its scope. Mullins constantly examines his own actions and reasons for living and this is interesting, however... this is a character you probably have come across before, so its a mixed bag.

The plot is great at first. I enjoyed watching King unfold a newspaper lead and roll it out slowly. He does make a mistake in letting the reader get ahead of the characters over the last quarter of the book. You know what will happen and watching the characters not figure it out is frustrating. This could have happened because King every once in a while shifts to the snipers point of view and gives us his point of view. I don't think that this really added anything to the story, but it is thankfully such a minimal part of the narrative that you wont be bothered by it too much.

I have read several bad books that are sort of similar to this in recent months. I would recommend 'Eye of Vengeance to anyone that might want to sit down with a military thriller. Its not for everyone. But I enjoyed it.

A definite page turner........2006-09-03

Crime reporter Nick Mullins is still trying to hold life together after a driver killed his wife and one of his twin daughters in a car accident. It is particularly hard now that the driver has been released from prison. But a distraction comes when a sniper kills a prisoner on the jailhouse steps. When another sniper shooting takes place, Mullins begins to realize the victims were both subjects of his in depth articles about killer who received light to no prison time for their crimes.

For me, King really knows how to tell a story and how to create a character. Mullins has suffered a devastating loss but knows he must keep himself together for his daughter, whose loss is as great, perhaps ever greater having both lost her twin and being in the accident when it happened. King presented a real sense of the emotions without it overwhelming the story. But you understand Mullins grief, his frustration with his job, his anger at the justice system and his fear and slight ambiguity when he realizes the sniper is killing in the name of "justice" driven by Mullin's articles. Even the killer, about whom you learn as the story progresses, is an interesting character. I certainly found this to be a page-turning, involving read.

A Huge Disappointment.......2006-08-04

I needn't rehash the plot which has been so ably described on this page. In fact the idea of the plot, plus the excellent reviews, drew me to buy the book in the first place. What a disappointment. Nick, the protagonist, is a one-dimensional character, and Michael Redman's story is unfortunately overshadowed by Nick's constant guilt. Nick Mullins works too much. He didn't pay enough attention to his family while his wife and other daughter were alive. He fights with Dierdre, his editor, all the time because she has no ethics. By the fourteenth time I had read all this, my patience wore thin. Worse was the author's practice of telling me everything and showing me nothing. Because the cast of characters is so thinly sketched I could barely tell one cop from another, and the other reporters at Nick's papers were barely more than shadows. For a novel to work, we have to care about the characters, or be fascinated by them, or repulsed. By the end of the book, all the sloppy shortcuts the writer had taken simply wore me out. I cared nothing for the people in the story, or the story itself. My prevailing emotion was anger that I'd wasted the money in buying it. Perhaps I'm alone in my disappointment, but I would suggest no one purchase Eye of Vengeance unless you've read two or three chapters first, and find the style to your liking.

A mediocre fantasy at best.......2006-04-23

Joan Grant's historical fantasy novels were based on her personal imaginings, which may have included vague recollections of former lives assuming reincarnation is a fact. Miss Grant apparently believed these mental impressions to be 100% accurate. As such, the books were poorly researched, and presented the cultures of ancient Egypt, pre-Columbian America, and ancient Greece and Rome with an overlay of the mores and ethics of her own middle-class England.

No such period as she describes existed in Ancient Egypt. The primary god was Amen-Ra, the creator of all things. Set was the villain of the Osiris story. Osiris was a fertility god and a relatively minor one at that. He only became important when somebody died. (A search on "Kemetic Orthodoxy" might be helpful for more detail.) If I remember right, Egypt was seriously threatened by civil war only at the end of the reign of Akhenaten, whose obsession with destroying the existing religious system and setting up Aten as the "One God" had more in common with Islamic extremism than it did with any sort of proto-Christianity, although it's constantly mistaken for same. The Egyptians did believe in life after death, with many rituals for ensuring a safe trip to the next world. That reincarnation was also a part of the established religion has not been documented through perusal of the literature available to us currently. Until said literature is discovered, an elaborate, New Age-like Egyptian belief in reincarnation remains a Victorian romantic fantasy.

Save your money. The works of Mary Renault (who also suspected she'd lived previous lifetimes in ancient Greece) are more grounded in reality and better written overall.

Better Than a Vivid Movie-and Real.......2000-11-10

Joan Grant had an amazing knack for incisive writing about her past lives. Many books of this genre are fuzzy, feel-good bromides that leave us doubtful.The authenticity of Grant's experience rings true in every sentence of this work.

It reads like an exciting adventure novel- yet the solidity and internal consistency of her main characters are astounding- and the spiritual gems glistening throughout the narrative are there for anyone to share. The prose is crisp, measured, and not padded and brings the culture and perspective of ancient Egypt directly into the heart and mind of the reader.

I am glad than writer Harold Klemp (Autobiography of a Modern Prophet) recommended this author to me.

She WAS there indeed..........1999-11-25

If you got to this page, please, please DO BUY Joan Grant's "Eyes of Horus". It is a wonderfully written novel (Which is suppossed to be a real life she remembers), it is wonderfully written, and the amount of details of everyday life makes it amazing to read. You will feel you are in old Egipt, seeing everything with your own eyes. The way she writes makes you even understand other ways of thinking than our own, because of what her characters say, the comparisons they make... Believe me! I am an hypercritical person and there is nothing phony in this book! Please buy it, you will not regret it!

Better than I expected........2000-11-02

I was disappointed by the second book in this series, and so my expectations for this one were lower, and it exceeded them. It still doesn't do what I'd just once like to see in a book that is part of a trilogy: it doesn't stand on its own. The first book of this series mostly did, and the second book did not at all; this book came close, but I'm uncertain as to whether it could be read on its own. It is a fine completion to a fine story, and almost manages to be a top-notch story on its own; I'd rate the series as a whole at four stars, and recommend it highly. The characters are very realistic, and very enjoyable, and the Changeling world is one in which I would like to see more stories. I hope that Cassada is working on more.

Great novel.......2000-05-12

Portion of back-of-book summary: "One of the changelings' own has betrayed them. Now he sails for Ireland, ancient home of the sidhe, accompanied by the Forsworn Prince, who has three of the faerie treasures known as the Immortal Eyes. The remaining oathmates must follow in search of the fourth and final Eyestone..."

Court of all Kings is conclusion to the great Immortal Eyes trilogy, and as I advise for any book series, be sure to read the first two novels (The Toybox and Shadows on the Hill) in order to get the full experience. Jackie Cassanda's storyline and characters are so absorbing that I had to make myself read slower so that I wouldn't rush through the novels. The ending of Court of all Kings was very surprising and a little sad, but overall it was a great read.
