a book to keep with you a lifetime.......2005-08-06

I received this book when I was quite young and it became an instant favorite with me. I think, at the time, my father gave it to me because I was actually afraid of the dark. Not only was it a reassuring friend in that respect, but the prevailing message of hope and ease in the book helped me immensely in my attempts to cope with the dark confusion that was childhood. Today, as an adult, I still keep it by my bedside. There is something in the surreal and beautiful illustrations, simple and absurd message that can still bring a certain level of peace to my disquieted self in these dark days that are adulthood. I would recommend this book to any person, great or small, who may need a touch of reassurance and hope.

Great for adults or kids.......2005-02-21

This is a beautiful book. I first came across it in a store called Serendipity in Rockport MA about 25 years ago. I still have my copy but bought a copy this year for my cousin who is 16 and getting ready to go off to college. The artwork and the messages are so enduring. The thoughts in here stayed with me through many ups and downs of life and growing up and living in general. Such wonderful messages that just whisper in your ear when you need them most.....if it's the last dance, dance backwards. This is one of my all-time favorite books, right up there with The Little Prince.

A World of Imagination........2005-01-21

This book is written for children with the purpose of making them feel better in times of stress by using their imaginations and looking at the world in a different way. The illustrations are very colorful and bring to life each one of the creatve verses contained within. The book is meant to inspire and encourage children and each one of the small proverbs carries meaning that people of all ages could possibly learn from. Nevertheless, despite the fact that it's intended for children, some sensitive children might be afraid of some of the illustrations inside. But, overall this is a wonderful and charming book that can inspire and encourage most who read it.

beautiful.......2004-11-06

This was one of my absolute favorite books as a child, and I still love it. It inspires such creativity.

The pictures are quite "freaky".......2003-01-03

I got this book because the reviews were so good.
I should have known by the cover that the artwork would be more artistic than child-oriented. I never read it to my child because he scares very easily and I feared the pictures would give him bad dreams. The whole thing was just kind of "spooky".

A terrific sequel.......2005-02-21

I absolutely loved and still treasure "If You're Afraid of the Dark, Remember the Night Rainbow," so when I saw this one I had to add it to the collection. Its terrific too - really like a continuation of the first book which is neat - it has the same type of drawings and phrases that on the surface seem so simple but in fact are such wonderful truths/messages. I gave this to my cousin along with the first book as she goes on her journey to college....."if one day you must leave home...draw stars on the bottom of your shoes to light your way back." Just such a wonderful book. Hard to describe the depth in the simplicity.

Hope on every page.......2003-12-06

I grew up with a copy of "If You're Afraid of the Dark, Remember the Night Rainbow" on my bookshelf, and love it. I came to appreciate it in different ways as I got older, and have given it as gifts on many occasions. This morning, I failed a major exam, and was in my local bookstore doing Christmas shopping as a grief-management attempt. There, I picked up this book, and read through it. It made me cry, but it was exactly what I needed. In the last three hours, I have read this book over and over again.

"If your world has come undone... fasten it securely to the horizon."
"If you're at the end of your rope... untie the knot in your heart."
"If you become lost... make wherever you are look like home."

Book Description

All around the globe, people are being reported dead or missing.

In Berlin, a woman vanishes from the city streets. In Paris, a man plunges from the Eiffel Tower. In Denver, a small plane crashes into the mountains. In Manhattan, a body washes ashore from the East River. At first these seem to be random incidents, but the police soon discover that all four of the victims are connected to Kingsley International Group (KIG), the largest think tank in the world.

Kelly Harris and Diane Stevens -- young widows of two of the victims -- encounter each other in New York, where Tanner Kingsley, the head of KIG, assures them that he is using every resource to solve the mysterious deaths of their husbands. But he may be too late. Someone is intent on murdering both women, and they suffer a harrowing series of close escapes. Who is trying to kill them and why?

Forced together for protection, and suspicious of each other and everyone around them, the two widows embark on a terrifying game of cat-and-mouse against the unknown forces out to destroy them.

Taut with suspense and vivid characterization, full of shocking twists, and with an unnervingly realistic premise, the long-awaited Are You Afraid of the Dark? is Sidney Sheldon at the top of his game.

Surprised at the poor quality of Sheldon's writing in this one! Single dimension characters, ridiculous situations - from which they somehow escape over and over again. Shallow story line. No real plot.

Book Description

All around the globe, people are being reported dead or missing. In Berlin, a woman vanishes from the city streets. In Paris, a man plunges from the Eiffel Tower. In Denver, a small plane crashes into the mountains. In Manhattan, a body washes ashore along the East River. At first these seem to be random incidents, but the police soon discover that all four of the victims are connected to Kingsley International Group (KIG), the largest think tank in the world. Kelly Harris and Diane Stevens-young widows of two of the victims-encounter each other in New York, where they have been asked to meet with Tanner Kingsley, the head of KIG. He assures them that he is using all available resources to find out who is behind the mysterious deaths of their husbands. But he may be too late. Someone is intent on murdering both women, and they suffer a harrowing series of near escapes. Who is trying to kill them and why? Forced together for protection, suspicious of each other and everyone around them, and trying to find answers for themselves, the two widows embark on a terrifying game of cat and mouse against the unknown forces out to destroy them. Taut with suspense and vivid characterization, full of shocking twists, and with an unnervingly realistic premise that could alter all of our lives, the long-awaited Are You Afraid of the Dark? is Sidney Sheldon at the top of his game.

Download Description

In New York, Denver, Paris and Berlin, four people have died separately in apparent accidents.

An important link between the victims rises up from their ashes: each was employed by Kingsley International Group (KIG), the world's largest think tank, involved with major military strategy, worldwide communications, and environmental issues. Soon, two of the murdered men's wives, Diane Stevens and Kelly Harris, find their own lives threatened. Terrified, suspicious of each other, and armed only with their wits and guile, the beautiful, terrified women become reluctant allies in a life and death game of cat-and-mouse.

In his classic page-turning style that has become the standard, Sidney Sheldon combines smart, engaging characters and an intricate plot in a powerfully compelling and suspenseful novel sure to hit bestseller lists from coast to coast.

Customer Reviews:

Actually 3-1/2 Stars.......2007-07-06

This novel effectively held my attention by following our heroines and their ability to outthink the think tank! Kingsley International Group (KIG) is a worldwide think tank on the brink of a mind breaking project - PRIMA. Andrew and Tanner Kingsley are genius brothers and head of KIG. Andrew's aspiration of helping others through his corporation and ability to solve problems irritates his brother, Tanner, who aspires to rule the world using and abusing his knowledge of environmental control. As despicable death befalls the top people of KIG, two women, Diane Stevens and Kelly Harris, widows of two of the victims, brought together in grief and a very strong desire to avenge their husband's deaths, begin a dangerous journey which brings them head-to-head with tremendously evil and conniving forces. The story interests to the point of the spectacular as two ordinary women, an artist and a model, go up against high-level evil machines and find their way out of some pretty tight spots by mere luck! If you are looking for a more intense and believable murder mystery such as "The Other Side of Midnight," you won't find it in this story. "Are You Afraid of the Dark" is more of a Shrek adventure - entertaining, but not seriously taken as a high crime action drama.

Readable if implausible tale.......2007-04-16

The book begins with a series of deaths around the globe -a woman is killed in Berlin and the event made to look like suicide ,as is the death of a man who was flung from the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris .Add a death in what appears to be aplane crash and an apparent drugs related mob killing and you have the evnts that set the plot in train .All the deceased were employees of KIG ,a prestigious and profitable think tank run by the charismatic -and it transpires -utterly unprincipled Tanner Kingsly .Tanner has ordered the deaths as the individuals were about to blow thw whistle on an illegal project set up by KIG ,a project code named Prima .
two women ,widows of two of the murdered men ,get wind that all is not kosher and go on the run from Kingsley and his hired killers.One is Kelly ,a well known fashion model who late husband was the Paris victim ,the other is Diane ,a successful New York based artist .The relationship between them is at firststrained but a friendshipo develops as the are pursued across the States and Europe narrowly escaping Kingsley's hirelings at every turn

The pace is crisp but tension is vitiated by frequent flashbacks to the lives of the two women and to Kingsley's usurping of the think tank from his idealistic brother .These background stories add little to the novel but overall if you can forgive the clunking prose and implausible narrative this will while away a reasonably pleasurable few hours of your time

Laugh out loud bad, but quaintly entertaining.......2007-03-03

In the 70's and 80's Sidney Sheldon wrote a number of entertaining potboilers full of beguiling plot twists and action. He was never a great writer, but in books such as If Tomorrow Comes, Master of the Game, Other Side of Midnight, and Rage of Angels, he manage to write stories with attention to detail, make the reader care for the characters and provide a sheen of plausibility to the events of the story.

In the 90's Sheldon really began to fall off. He was obviously getting older and not keeping up with what was going on. He still retained his ability to keep the story moving and the reader engaged to find out what happened next, but whatever attention he paid to character development, relationships and writing halfway decent dialogue seem to disappear book by book until quite frankly he became a purveyor of ludricous tales.

Are You Afraid of the Dark is Sheldon's final novel. It's a far fetched tale of an evil think tank President who conjures up a plan to control the world's weather. Why? Because he's pure evil. That's all. A bunch of people are killed. Two of the dead men's widows team up to try to find out what's going on and spend most of the book escaping assasination attempts. The whole book is really silly with stilted dialogue and implausible action and a blithe disregard to reality. I was laughing at much of the action in the book, particularily the flashback scene where one of the woman's husbands rhapsodizes about his wife's snoring.

Still the book is quaintly entertaining. Sheldon grabs your attention and you can't put it down until it's over. Perhaps it was because I just wanted to know how ludricous the story would become, but Sheldon possessed a talent. And despite some of the trashy and gratuitous sex and violence scenes, there's a certain sweetness to the book. The heroines are women who want to be loved and in the flashbacks recalling their courtship, Sheldon does a decent job of capturing the emotional uncertainty of the early stages of a relationship. It's a shame he couldn't write with the same sensitivity and nuance throughout the book as it would make the reader really care about the heroines; in the end, his emphasis on moving the far fetched and ludricous plot along renders all his characters as cardboard. In the end, Sheldon may have been wise to retire in the early 90's but he kept on writing. Ultimately the fault lies with his publisher and editor who allowed him to churn out such lazy work. His sales fell off over the last 10 years of his life and it was because it appeared no one took him aside and said he could do better. For a taste of Sheldon's better work, read If Tommorow Comes or Rage of Angels. But if you are looking for a book that will make you laugh and pass the time away on a trip, Are You Afraid of the Dark will do the job.

Bad writing and unbelievable story.......2007-02-17

This was my first Sidney Sheldon and surely it will be my last. I only picked up this audio book, because I wanted some mindless entertainment on my long drive down to LA from SF...and it was one of the few audio books at my local library...anyways, the premise was interesting. But the twists and turns were just preposterous, unbelievable. I found myself laughing at the characters' predicaments. The dialogue was inauthentic and made me wonder, 'who would say such a thing in a real conversation?'. Perhaps it was the bad actress who read the book? I wonder how Sheldon became so famous with this kind of pedestrian writing. Thank goodness I didn't purchase this book. For this genre, I much prefer Dean Koontz, John Sanford, and even Mary Higgins Clark.

Should Mr Sheldon Retire???.......2007-01-11

Methinks, yes, Mr. Sheldon should retire. If I didn't know better, I would have thought I was reading a Reader's Digest Condensed version of this book. Most of the twists and turns were totally unbelievable and mostly predictable. I really used to enjoy Sidney Sheldon's earlier books, but I sure wish I had not wasted time reading this silly book.

Delighful but not "unabridged".......2006-03-27

The CD in English IS abridged. We first discovered Plop on cassette, and it ran 1 hour. This CD runs 20 minutes. It remains a delightful, short bedtime story for my 6 year old who has it memorized, but it IS abridged. I still would love to locate a truly unabridged CD that has the detail of the cassette.

A lark in the dark.......2004-05-15

Originally published in 1968, "The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark" is considered a classic in England. Now reissued with a whole new illustrator, we members of the United States finally get a chance to read this rather adorable tale. Though not a cutesy story in and of itself, illustrator Paul Howard has drawn a book that has perhaps set the standard for adorable barn owl tales everywhere.

Plop (an unfortuanate name, but whatcha gonna do?) is a small barn owl. Plop is also afraid of the dark. Though his parents attempt to inform him that there is nothing to be afraid of, he remains unconvinced. Finally, they tell him to ask various people and animals for information about the dark. From a boy the owl learns that the dark is exciting, with fireworks and such. From an astrologer he learns that the dark is wondrous, allowing us to see the many constellations in the sky. And so forth. In the end, Plop is convinced and is able to safely fly in the sky with his mother and father without fear.

If you'd like to read something to your little one that doesn't contain much in the way of tension or drama, this book's your ticket. Though Plop does partake in various escapades, none of these ever become dangerous. I was particularly interested in a section where he asks a black cat about the night. Considering that a cat would undoubtedly view a baby barn owl as a yummy snack, I was a bit amazed that nothing bad happened between the two. Nothing so much as the cat licking his chops or thinking to himself, "Boy could I go for a little fowl right now". Nuthin'. Which is fine. Illustrator Paul Howard has added pictures drawn with pastel pencils. The result is that Plop is the fuzziest, cutest, cuddliest little fluffball of an owl to ever flutter across the pages of a picture book. In addition to being a useful book for children that are afraid of the dark, it is also a good story for convincing children that owls are nothing, in and of themselves, to be afraid of. Just don't pair this story with Avi's "Poppy". All in all, this is a sweet little story with fuzzy-wuzzy pictures. Cuddly and adorable all at once, it is certain to be a child's favorite as the years go by.

the best book ever!!!.......2004-02-03

I totally loved this book when i was little and still do now (I'm nearly 21!). I've lost the tape so I'm looking to get another one so I can show my boyfriend how good it is too. i would highly recommend that every child should have a copy of this book.

Magical.......2002-01-04

I was eight years old. I read the paperback edition of this book every night, cover to cover. The story of the effervescent Plop and the conquering of his fear of the dark is as enduring now as it was when it was first published over 30 years ago.

This version is abridged and illustrated from the one that saw me safely to dreamland as a child. No matter. The spirit is preserved and the illustrations are wonderful. Great for any kid with any phobia. A magical book.

The best childhood book.......2001-04-11

I am now 13 years old, and I still listen to this classic tape when I have nightmares at night. When I was little I used to listen to it every single night. I listened to it so much that I almost broke it. If you are a parent looking for a good childhood book for your child I highly recommend it, from firsthand experience of being a child. Thanks

Every night at bedtime, Stella the dog shakes and shivers. She sees scary shapes and hears scary noises. Stella is afraid of the dark! At least that's what her owner says. But that might not be the whole story...

Customer Reviews:

Who's Afraid Of The Dark?.......2007-01-07

ISBN 0060205997 - "Stella is afraid of the dark," says the first page. A small boy holds his friend's arm and points to his dog. It couldn't possibly be clearer who it is that's afraid of the dark, could it? Of course it could! The dog's owner is actually the one afraid, but he doesn't want to admit it. His friend tells him how to help his dog - and in the end, his dog helps him!

Not a giant brain-drain for an adult, kids really might have a tough time understanding without assistance. In the text, it's the dog who is afraid. In the illustrations, it's the dog's owner who is shown acting frightened while the dog sleeps peacefully. This is just one of those book that parents need to read to kids. Since it's a cute little tool for helping kids who are afraid of the dark and have trouble sleeping because of it, I'm sure most parents will be doing the reading, but if you're not going to read it TO them, and talk to them about it, they're likely to get confused.

The illustrations are mediocre and, honestly, if you're going to use this to help your little one get over his or her fears, you'd better buy him or her their own dog, or it'll never work! Not great, not horrible, Bonsall's just created a tool - it's what you do with it that will make the difference.

Easy Read for Little Kids.......2006-06-13

This was recommended reading for my 5 yr old. It's an easy book and a nice story. I don't see it as confusing at all as in the other review. Just discuss it with your kid and they should figure it out.

THr reason why this book got me confused was I didn't know who the author was talking about. The author didn't really tell you who they were talking about. Was it the dog? The girl? or was it the boy?

Good Love-Story!.......2000-11-16

What a delightful, fun book about the bravery of Sir Fred, the treachery of Melvin the Miffed and the love of Lady Wendylyn!

Although he is very brave, Sir Fred he is afraid of one thing: the dark (Achilles). Sir Miffed wants Lady Wendylyn to himself so he tells her that Sir Fred must be up to something by only seeing her when there is a full moon (the snake in Eden). Lady Wendylyn tests Sir Fred's love by requesting to see him at night. This leads to a climactic ending where Lady Wendylyn and Sir Fred each face their own fears in order to save the other, proving that their love for each other was stronger than their phobias.

Hollywood would do well to come out with such a good romance. Illustrations are funny; could't help but think that Sir Fred looks like Gerard Depardieu!

The Knight Who Was Afraid Of The Dark.......1999-12-16

This is a sweet story that is as much for adults as it is for children. The artwork is fun, something new is found each time the book is read. The story is a simple one: facing your fears and the rewards of doing so. Sometimes love does conquer all!

Book Description

The definitive guide for anyone who has contact with people of another race—in companies, schools, neighborhoods, or other social situations—this book asserts that race is not the unfathomable mystery it is usually made out to be. In a revealing, accessible, and stimulating discussion based on little-known facts and innovative research, this book explains why many whites are uneasy about blacks and how blacks react to this, why numerous blacks suspect the worst from whites, why white explanations don't hold up, why myths about sex remain so prevalent, and what both races can do together to make their relations better.

BRILLIANT discusssion of vital Aspect of American Life.......2004-03-13

This book, by Jim Myers, is an insightful probe into US race relations. Well-written and meticulously researched, Afraid of the Dark is an essential guide for all interested in the color divide.

At Once Frightening and Inspiring.......2002-07-11

I recently read this book after feeling lost in my understanding of "race" relations in America. This book cleared up a lot of details for me and in so doing illuminated a few of the ways in which American discourse on "race" can be improved. However, after seeing the numbers as Myers so thoroughly lays out, I am incredulous that such discourse will enter the public arena any time soon.

an update to this book.......2001-01-22

fathered a child out of wedlock while giving advice to clinton how to be slick.

A Fresh, Honest Approach.......2000-07-27

Not since Andrew Hacker has a white author been as conversant and intuitive about both sides of the race issue in America. Jim Meyers presents both black and white 'world views' thoroughly and fairly and without rose colored glasses--a feat not often accomplished by privileged whites. In my experience, black authors write from a more reality-based position than do whites, but Meyers obviously walks the walk.

Meyers guides the reader through a variety of situations in which we all find ourselves. Of particular interest to me was his discussion of how a person of color might feel upon meeting a white stranger and vice-versa. How might each person be feeling, what might they be thinking, how are they conditioned to respond, which self-preservation behaviors kick in? Useful information for those of us who try, as best we can, to encourage cross racial and cross cultural friendships and understanding.

Icon charts incorporated throughout this book provide powerful, at-a-glance imagery of the ratios of blacks to whites in America and help illustrate why some blacks may be hesitant to speak their minds in certain social settings. Since much race-related literature speak in abstract terms, Mr. Meyers use of math and numbers is also a powerful learning tool.

Like the author, I am also a white person previously married to a black spouse who surrounds myself with friends of all ethnicities. I believe race relations is the single most important issue facing America today. I give Jim Meyers credit for presenting this topic in a fresh, conversational way that is easy to read and very enlightening.

I recommend this book to people of all races who want answers to questions that many may find too difficult to ask in the real world.

A MUST for every library; a jewel of a book!.......2000-07-12

This fascinating book is brilliantly-written, fun to read, and one of the most IMPORTANT books you could read today.

If you are white (as I am) and you think you know everything you need to know about blacks, think again. This book will prove to you otherwise. I worked in an all-black environment for 15 months and I STILL didn't find out some of the things I learned from this book.

Book Description

Kalispel lives underground with his darkness-loving family and friends and is afraid of only one thing: daylight. With the help of his bold pal Digger the Rotomite, Kalispel learns to face the day and see its mysterious beauty in a story that parallels a child's fear of the dark.
