Book Description
Did rebel angels take on human bodies to fulfill their lust for the "daughters of men"? Did these fallen angels teach men to build weapons of war?
That is the premise of the Book of Enoch, a text cherished by the Essenes, early Jews and Christians but later condemned by both rabbis and Church Fathers. The book was denounced, banned and "lost" for over a thousand years-until in 1773, a Scottish explorer discovered three copies in Ethiopia.
Elizabeth Clare Prophet examines the controversy surrounding this book and sheds new light on Enoch's forbidden mysteries. She demonstrates that Jesus and the apostles studied the Book of Enoch and tells why Church Fathers suppressed its teaching that angels could incarnate in human bodies. Contains all the Enoch texts, including the Book of Enoch, and biblical parallels.
Fallen Angels and the Origins of Evil takes you back to the primordial drama of Good and Evil, when the first hint of corruption entered a pristine world-earth.
Contains Richard Laurence's translation of the Book of Enoch, all the other Enoch texts, including the Book of the Secrets of Enoch, biblical parallels

Cant stress enough.......2007-10-03
Please don't take anything this woman says seriously. Just for fun is what I would call it. No not even that, Dangerous stupidity and conjecture for anyone who is uneducated I have read some of her stuff in the past and was in disbelief to hear her say that Jesus, God himself came to earth to learn from certain mystical religious groups in India and other places Give me a break. There are only three things God cant do, Lie. Die and Learn.
Here again, more of the same BS.
Quite interesting.......2007-08-21
Filled with interesting materials and ideas, however the author's writing style puts me right to sleep. A great writer can turn even the act of watching paint dry on the wall into a remarkable journey. Those authors that wrote Holy Blood Holy Grail should've written this book instead.
Great reference book.......2007-08-18
This book is a great reference book. If you have read the book of Enoch and any other fallen angels books, there are many crossovers, and some indifferences, overall though, this is the book that's easily readable.
This book covers many other books, so you can single handily buy one book and read 2-3.....
Definitely worth putting into your collection
Hard to Read, Author is bias .......2007-07-09
I bought this book because I thought it would help me with an understanding of the Book of Enoch. I am so disappointed that I wasted my money on this book. It is hard to read and the Author has way too much bias in her own "new age" ideas.
Fallen Angels & the orgins of evil.......2007-03-09
I could learn all ahe had to say by just re-visiting the Bible. Nothing new or thought prevoking in this book
Book Description
he Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting, and bloody confrontations with ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridge-burners, and for Tattersail, their lone surviving mage, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze. However, the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand . . . Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order-an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice.

Excellent........2007-09-17
I just finished up "Gardens of the Moon" last night around 2:00am. I couldn't put the book down for about 4 hours, as anyone who has read this knows that the last 1/4 of the book grabs you, holds you, and doesn't let go. ;)
I've read many thousands of books in the scifi/fantasy genre over the last 30~ years and lately I've been stuck at trying to find a book that was a bit more "mature" than Eddings, Anthony, Jordan, etc.. and somehow, I ended up buying "Gardens of the Moon". I think that Stephen R. Donaldson wrote up a good review on the book/author and loving Donaldson as much as I do, I picked up this book.
I'm glad that I listened to my instincts (and that Donaldson wrote that review), because I got lucky enough to be pulled into Erikson's world. I am totally in love with his world, his characters, and the way that he writes. This is a very complex story and it's quite unlike most every other novel that I've read previous. As other people have noted, he doesn't hold your hand and he relies on your own intelligence to keep up with the fast pace of things in this world.
The way I see it, if you're pretty bright, you're going to catch onto the story, the characters, and the dense history of the world that is described to you in lush detail. I've been hoping to find a book that doesn't have to carry me through it as if I were an infant, but rather runs ahead of me so that I have to try and catch up, using my own faculties to learn and understand. I'm not much for the hand-holding philosophy; I've moved on and can figure things out on my own.
This book has everything that I've been looking for, so I am quite smitten with it. I guess that's why I picked up the rest of the books in this series today at lunch. I actually think the newest book comes out tomorrow, so I'd better get a move on and get to some hardcore reading. :)
I absolutely recommend this book without any reservation at all. From what I've read, the rest of the books are even better. I can't wait for work to be done so that I can go home and start on book #2.. ;)
This is epic fantasy at its peak, don't miss this series.......2007-09-14
I stumbled upon Erikson while reading some reviews for RR Martin and thought I would try his writing. The Gardens of the Moon is a bit slow to start but once it starts rolling it is a great read. Of course it is the start of 10 books so it had a lot of ground to cover and lots of history to explain because Erikson's world is fantastic and the best world building I have ever read.
His world is rich and believable with long histories, cultures, people, gods and beings of all flavors. Without the fairytale style elves and dwarfs and other fantasy creatures we are all used to. He does draw on some of the races from typical of fantasy but he recreates them into a whole new form. There are others that are completely his invention such as the T'Lan Imass.
Currently I am on book 4 and each book has been very good and I look forward to the next 6 books.
Erikson really is understated in the fantasy market and that is just a shame because he is a master of the genre. If you like high/epic series fantasy then you need look no further then right here. It starts a little slow but it never lets up from there.
Exciting intro of what is shaping to be a great series.......2007-09-13
I purchased this book as Eriksons work was likened to GRRM. Although Gardens of the Moon is not as great as game of thrones was, it still is one of the top fantasy novels to have recently come out. The characters are deep, the storyline intertwined, and the descriptions are unbelievable. While Erikson is not super similar to GRRM, he still creates a great world and is highly recommended for those searching for their next fantasy series to start.
Totally utterly confused.........2007-08-19
Some people in the reviews seem to be able to get this book effortlessly but i keep asking myself "Huh?" throughout the entire book. Yeah I undertstand the main plot but none of the characters interest me enoguh to make me remeber who or what they are. I kept wondering if this was the first book in the series because erikson, imo, doesnt explain his world good enough in a debut novel to the reader. I kept wondeirng if i was missing information trhoughout the book... i dont know if ill read the next book or try to look for another book
Reads like a overblown D&D game.......2007-07-16
After hearing comparisons to GRRM's series "A Song of Fire and Ice" I jumped on this book given I love military and fantasy settings. The only thing that comes close to GRRM in this book is length and an attempt at creating an interesting historical fantasy world. Too bad the author wrote a rather droll, generic fantasy adventure with cut out characters to introduce us.
The Battles I read were unexciting/confusing for a military novel involving an over-reliance on wizards who seem to function like artilery pieces, The magic used was also vague(what is "waves of magic"?) and everyone has apparently has access to "a lost spell for over 400 years" or "Powerful, rare skill of _____ that I can pull out in a jam". Heck, within the first 75 pages alone, one character is resurrected after dying not once, but twice! Of course, someone used a "spell that has been lost since _____"....apparently resurrection spells went out of style despite the ease in casting them. Characters were not only flat, generic, and loosely described, but were introduced at rapid speed.....the author helps by giving us a a few pages of character listings and one sentence description for them.....too bad it's like 50+ people of which many are unimportant. The biggest crime is that unlike most generic fantasy drivel, it parades around as if this is an epic series rivaling the best in the genre. Nothing is worse than an OK story expanded into an epic.
I suppose if you think every Dungeons and Dragons inspired novel is a decent read, you'd very much like this book. It's basically a well written generic fantasy story turned into an epic 10 book series. If your looking for a work of fantasy that is high quality and worthy of critical praise, look elsewhere.

Good coverage of angelic names but poor references........2007-07-23
This title is very thorough in expounding upon the different names of both angels and demons. However, it has a major flaw in that it relies heavily on fictional accounts, such as Milton, to collaborate its data. Therefore, I cannot recommend it for serious study. Additionally, following the tradition of most dictionaries, the descriptions are rather terse.
For mere entertainment it is adequate, but that's all.
Angel refenerce.......2007-05-20
Has probably most of the angels known to man throughout history and from all cultures and beliefs. Some more information about some of the main ones would have been helpful. A good reference if you are into angels.
A Hefty Appetizer For The Budding Theologian.......2007-04-30
If you're like me and are curious about the oddities of religion this book delivers plenty for the price. It is very expansive, especially in the eyes of a theological novice. But while others who have more experience may know its limitations, for me the book is a joy! I've become more acquainted (than I had previously thought possible) with the mysterious beings that dwell in the background of most religions. I found myself not only checking the familiar names but being drawn almost immediately to the lesser known beings. One of my favorites is Nisroc: An Assyrian god, then a ruling angel in Milton's Paradise Lost, and finally the chief of cuisine of Hell! There are many cases of deities changing to angels, angels to deities, and both into devils. All of this and full page page illustrations from old masters like of Durer, Blake, and Dore. It really doesn't matter if you're a skeptic, scholar, beginning theologian, or occultist - I would recommend this wonderfully easy-to-use work to any of these! Bravo Mr. Davidson!
Highly Detailed Reference Book.......2007-03-23
I first discovered, Dictionary of Angels when I owned a small angel emporium. This is an actual dictionary with incredibly detailed descriptions of every angel imaginable. It is also an incredible book to read and learn about the angels throughout history. I still go to this book as a reference when I write about the angels, have questions about which angel is in charge of what ever I am curious about. Great book. I usually do not leave reviews unless the book is really moving or has some above standard substance. This is no exception. This book is top shelf in my library, and that's high praise! Blessings in the Mire
If you don't have it, get it.......2007-03-20
When I first became interested in fallen angels I had a hard time finding information about them, especially online where a lot of information was on badly-designed black background/red text sites or part of a game verse.
The Dictionary of Angels is the most helpful at-a-glance angel books I've ever come across - most of what armchair demonoligists or hobbyists could want to know is contained within its pages. It doesn't have everything, but it's an excellent place for anyone to start their research. Highly recommend.

Book Description
After decades of internecine warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have at last united under the Warlock King of the Hiroth. There is peace--but it has been exacted at a terrible price: a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst, deadly.
To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether, eager to fulfill its long-prophesized renaissance as an Empire reborn, has enslved all its less-civilized neighbors with rapacious hunger. All, that is, save one--the Tiste Edur. And it must be only a matter of time before they too fall--either beneath the suffocating weight of gold, or by slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so destiny has decreed.
Yet as the two sides gather for a pivotal treaty neither truly wants, ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale reflection of a far more profound, primal battle--a confrontation with the still-raw wound of an old betrayal and the craving for revenge at its seething heart.

Epic Fantasy with a twist.......2007-09-26
Steven Erickson continues to satisfy the thirst for epic fantasy written in captivating chunks. His Malazan series continues to deliver with excellent stories, memorable characters, believable interaction and a solid back-story that draws them all together.
Much like LE Modesitt (my personal favorite in the genre) Erickson delivers his epic story in discrete chunks, that provides a vast, sweeping drama encompassing his well structured and delivered world, yet each story can stand equally well on their own, or the universe he has created can be entered at any point in the story line and be just as enjoyable.
Also like Modesitt, he has brought a unique perspective to the whole genre, by bringing in an anthropological and social construction and transformation twist, that separates it from other worlds, and expands the scope and scale of the world and its denizens. All in all, this is a different stylistic approach in a genre that is crying for new styles and voices to appear. Kudos.
He has managed to keep this flow, something (Robert Jordan lost about 5 books ago......) by making each book deliver a feeling of relevance and completion, even if they leave you wanting more.
I have enjoyed this so much, that I have turned "across the pond" to order the next books from England, as they are publishing them before they do stateside.
I highly recommend these stories, and encourage readers to jump right in, regardless of the volume that catches your eye.
Blown Away Again!.......2007-09-21
I'll be short which is something Steve Erikson isn't. I have started the series from the begining and was somewhat angry that this series flutters around. Those who have read the series knows what I mean. Any, this book had little to do with the books that went before it. However, this is a great book, tremendous plot twists, and ending that left you tragically very unsatisfied. Sorry for you Bryes, Maylen, Hull, Ceda, etc. Still what a story!
I have given up on Erikson completing the previous stories and books, and giveing me more of the characters I fell in love with. Where are you Apsalar and Tattersail? Now just accept the genious of the characters whenever they appear. Don't fall in love with any characters because you may not see them again, just go with the flow and be in moment. You will not be able to root for Harry and hope he pulls it out in the end. Not that kind of series, much darker, deeper and more complicated than you can imagine. That said wow! Wow and more wow! This book you can pick up and read without knowing what had gone before. Even though Trull was in the House of Chains you didn't have to read the House of Chains to know what was going on. In fact this could be the first book in the series and historically it is the first book in the series as far as when these events occurred. I didn't give this book 5 stars because the ending left me lacking, quite frankly like all of this books have left me lacking at the end. However, Eriskon is about the journey not the destination. Buy this book and be amazed.
Erikson has somehow outdone himself yet again........2007-07-10
Steven Erikson, Midnight Tides (Tor, 2006)
I can't believe it. If Memories of Ice had not already placed Steven Erikson at the top of the current spate of fantasy writers turning out series, each book of which would make a fine doorstop, then Midnight Tides would have done just as well. Both books in the same series? Steven Erikson is, without doubt, a force to be reckoned with.
It occurred to me about halfway through Midnight Tides that Erikson writes to formula--four hundred fifty pages-ish of strategy, tactics, and getting to know the principal players in whatever aspect of this massive wargame Erikson is setting up, and then one hundred fifty pages-ish of the big battle that everything's been leading to. The characters are usually the same, outwardly. There's the fish out of water (Withal, in this volume), the outsider forced to choose a side (Hull Beddict, and to a lesser extent Seren Pedac), the calm, disaffected warrior (Brys Beddict and Iron Bars), the comic relief (Tehol and Bugg), the gods who have manifested among men, a Jaghut who's somehow survived for thousands of years despite the T'lan Imass having wiped them out. Yep, in pretty much every volume. (I don't recall there being a Jaghut in Gardens of the Moon, but that's minor). Where Erikson rises above other formula writers, and to use the obvious comparison, we'll take the grande dame of formula writers, Dame Barbara Cartland, though any other would suffice, is that Erikson's characters, of whatever aspect, are deep and richly-drawn in a world he has created down to, it seems, the minutest detail. It doesn't matter how much you research your historical romances, there will always be bits that no one thought to write down, and most of the time, there are bits you gloss over in order to keep the story going (or to keep the reader's eyes from watering when you describe the stench of, say, the streets of medieval Paris). Erikson has no time for that sort of glossing. All the hard, ugly detail is here. And all of it contributes to make the Malazan Book of the Fallen the best series currently going, in any genre. And Midnight Tides stands with Memories of Ice as tied for the honor of best book--so far--in the series.
We met Trull Sengar, the outcast (and, perhaps, last remaining) Tiste Edur, in House of Chains. He played a minor role, and all we knew about him was that he had been bound and left to die by his brothers. How did he get that way? Midnight Tides is that story, or at least part of it. It takes place in the Letherii and Tiste Edur empires, a large portion of Genabackis which we haven't previously seen. As such, Trull Sengar is the only character we know, and we don't know a great deal about him. (There's another character we're middling familiar with, but to reveal him would be a spoiler at this point.) As we open, the Edur are preparing for a delegation from Lether, the two sides having existed in uneasy truce for some time. The delegation, and the treaty that comes from the meeting, are supposed to formalize the peace between the two kingdoms. Neither is terribly sure they actually want peace, and are convinced the other side does, in fact, want war. The problem, as it usually is in Erikson's books, is that the two kingdoms are not the only players on the field, though neither side is yet aware of who else would put their fingers in this pie. Aside from the war, there's Tehol Beddict, his manservant Bugg, and various employees of his, involved in a secret money-making scheme; Shurq Elalle, the undead thief; the Azath Tower, guardian over various imprisoned immortals, and Kettle, its undead child keeper; the shadow wraiths of the Tiste Edur, who are not at all what they seem to be; Kuru Qan, Lether's chief mage, slowly going mad as his old friend Brys watches; Buruk the Pale, a merchant selling Letherii steel to the Tiste Edur; a number of previously-conquered races subjugated by the Letherii; the Crimson Guard, whoever they may be... and far too much more to keep going on about here. Erikson's novels are always Cecil B. DeMille epics with their casts of thousands, but the six hundred plus pages we are given mean we can get to know all these personalities, and get to know them perhaps all too well.
Midnight Tides is a book of pure setup, really. Sure, there's a war, and all the accompanying action, but it has little to do on the surface with whatever it is Erikson's been building up to in his main story arc. (Or so it would seem, since it's pretty obvious this is all taking place far enough in the past for Trull Sengar to have been left wherever he was for quite some time.) That it could be a book of pure setup, that we could know from the outset it's pure setup, and for it to still be as good as it is is astonishing. It's also interesting to notice how Erikson uses the book of setup to fill in some of the gaps in our Genabackis knowledge (how are the Edur and the Andii related, anyway? And how do the Toblakai fit into it all? How are the Deck of Dragons and the Warrens related? That sort of thing. [Oh, you'll have to do some digging in your own memories to come up with that last one, but it does get answered here, after a fashion, despite the Deck never making an appearance.]). Either Erikson is the most enormously gifted fantasy writer currently in existence, he's the most enormously gifted plotter currently in existence, or a combination of both. Whatever the actual situation, the end result is the same: the Malazan Book of the Fallen takes the idea of the entertaining, immersive read to an entirely new level, and Midnight Tides is one of the series' high points. An absolutely fantastic novel that will quite easily make my top ten reads of the year. *****
Take a break from elves and orcs........2007-07-10
I respect Erikson's productivity tremendously. It is no easy feat to pump out a thick volume every year and maintain consistency and continuity. Thankfully, Erikson has managed to avoid the Robert Jordan curse (so far).
After every Erikson book, I have the same first impression: Too much! I would love to be an imp perched on the author's shoulder pleading with him that "less is more". Erikson creates with such excess--in characters, ideas, storylines, etc.--that the novel often left me with a headache. I believe that the reader suffers some disconnect due to the abundance of major characters (at least 6) and important supporting characters (a dozen). It is difficult to sympathize and understand one character, much less several.
At first, I thought that the novel would be better if it were 100 pages lighter. I mean, Shurq and Ublala are funny, but are they necessary? Do the three sisters serve a significant purpose? Sometimes I think that his world building overshadows his characters, who are starting to feel alike. How many god-like warriors can one world have?
On second thought, I recognize that volume and audacity are part of Erikson's style. He wants to confuse and bewilder. He strives to populate a massive world with lots of significant, powerful characters. Asking him to tone it down would only damage his world building, which is the strength of the series. He has created something new and different. The best way to read an Erikson novel is to revel in the size, scope, and originality.
I am not surprised that many consider Midnight Tides one of the best in the series. By limiting the novel to (mostly) one setting, Erikson tells the clearest story yet. I also like how he contrasts the Edur and Letherii societies. For example, Lether is founded on money and greed, yet Edur bury their dead in a coating of coins. That is not a coincidence. I also like the parallelism: for example, both societies features brothers as major characters, the Sengars in Edur and the Beddicts in Lether. It is also his funniest novel, exemplified in the banter between Tehol and Bugg. I recommend it to anyone who is tired of elves and orcs.
Another good installment.......2007-07-09
I didn't know what to think coming into this one because it is a completely different story in and of itself with barely any connection to the series as a whole. We've seen other authors do this, i.e. Terry Goodkind, and fail miserably. Erikson, though, seems to have pulled it off.
This monster of a book is a lot to get through, and the cast of characters can be a little daunting, but Erikson's writing pulls it all together. With this book we get the back story for Trull Sengar, the only character to be found in any other book in the series. My only wish is that since we we're getting the back story why not show us how Trull came to be trapped in the warren of book 4? Either way, the same story telling is here that really shows gods among men, really shows who are the strong and who are the weak. This has been something I have admired of Erikson for a while, that he can effectively show why someone is more powerful, or explain the uniqueness of a certain person and so on. That is how he has been able to write about gods and not fall on his face, because he can effectively show who they are in comparison to everyone else.
My only wish is that Erikson will get back to the main storyline that he created through book 4. This doesn't detract from this book, but it would detract if he were to write too many books in the series that were tangential storylines such as this one. Be that as it may, there is a lot set up in this book that can ultimately make for some great storylines as they join with the rest of the series.
I would recommend.
4 stars.

A book to read and re'read.......2005-01-06
Two stories in this book are reissues and the third is new. And I couldn't be happier about having them all under one cover. It was such fun to go back and read Dane and Alec's stories and I was thrilled to meet Harris in "Uncovered". He's a firefighter and every bit as HOT as you might imagine!
You really are missing out if you haven't purchased this steamy collection.
Enjoyable Threesome!.......2004-11-30
Three for the great price of one book! Now that's a novel idea!!! Three hot romance stories and all three are HOT...Now if you ask me...That's what all romantics dream of!!!
Fantastic book & series. Never laughed so much........2004-09-11
I started this book a couple months ago only reading the 1st. 2, Beguiled (Dane & Angel) bk. 1 & Wanton (Alex & Celia) bk. 2 They being part of the PI series which was fantastic. Mick (Caught in the act) bk. 3 links these 2 & the next 2 in the series (Treat her right & Mr. November) bks. 4 & 5.
Men of courage (Ethan & Rosie) is next, although I didn't know was linked to those above at the time of reading it. Then we have "Riley". Finally I get to the last book in this anthology "Uncovered" (Harris & Claire).
This one had me in stitches laughing. Harris is called to a fire. His friend Ethan firnds a box of photo's of a naked lady presumed to be posing. Because Ethan is married Harris takes them of him. Claire, Harris's neighbour sees them & is mortified. The next day when Claire gets to work for Dane & Alex she finds Harris there with the pictures. There are also some handwritten notes about Harris. Harris is desperate to find out who the mystery woman is. None of the men can understand Claire's reaction to seeing them spread out over the office. Dane & Alex even have them blown up to see if they can find some distinguishing marks.
It is only when Angel & Celia go into the office & see the pictures all over the wall that they recognise who it is. Men are sometimes so thick, they can't see what's under there noses. As this is happening Harris is about to go into the back office to stop them searching for her & Claire is about to walk into the shop. When she does the look they give her is pricless. They just don't know where to look. Harris is mortified as well as angry. 3 other men have seen those pictures of Claire & he is going to marry her. 2 of the men are her bosses. How will he live this down. They are by this time shouting all the personal details of what has gone on the night before & everyone can hear. Alex buts in a couple of times while they are still shouting.
After getting his presumptions wrong Harris finds out its an ex of Clair's who took the photos without her knowledge & that he has been doing it to others as well.
Lori says in the front of this book that "Uncovered" is the funniest book she has wrote & she is right. In future whenever I think about it it will have me cracking up.
The next in the series is Buck's story in "The truth about cats & dogs". My copy shoud be here next week. I can't wait.
Fallen Angels.......2004-06-22
Fallen Angels is a must read for readers who have recently discovered Ms Foster's awesome talents.
BEGUILED AND WANTON are rereleases of two of Lori's hardest to find books and once you read them you will be able to see why.
In BEGUILED, Dane poses as his recently killed twin brother to find out whether he was murdered or not. Only thing is he discovers that his brother has a baby boy and that the mom is sexy Angel who is just recovering from injuries sustained in an accident. Angel has every reason to be leery of men and is
determined to be the best mom she can be for her son.
Angel and Dane must confront whoever is trying to kill Angel before he kills again.
In Wanton, Dane's sister Celia decides to give up her career in
the family business and become a private investigator. Her first
case is helping to rescue a girl from a prostitution ring. But she has one big obstacle, hunky, hot and did I say hunky? Alec
Sharpe who is determined to make Celia's new career a short-lived one.
In UNCOVERED, Firefighter Harris Black finds several pictures of a nude woman after putting out a fire, but there is something very familiar about the woman. How is his good friend Claire going to keep Harris from finding out those pictures were of her?
This book totally rocks and I know you will love it as much as I do.
What happened Lori?.......2004-06-04
Lori, Lori, Lori, what happened? This is by far the worst book that I have read by her. Not only were the female characters weak and whiny, they were stupid as well. Foster doesn't even bother to justify the horrible lies of the heroes, the heroines just accepts that he knows what is best for them. The first story has the hero playing the heroine like a fool, and when she finds out that he has lied about everything she shrugs it off. She just accepts the fact that the hero is the twin brother of her lover, even though he slept with her pretending to be someone else.The second story is even more disturbing, the heroine acts like becoming a PI is as easy as joining a social club. She has no mean of protecting herself, yet she throws herself into the scene determined to "help a girl in trouble". She is deathly afraid of anyone looking at her in a sexual manner, yet she tries to close a prostitution ring by posing as a potential "working girl". It was horrible!!! And the mostly virgin theme is so pronounced it makes me want to puke. I don't have a problem with the age-old theme of the man being the most experienced, I just didin't like the fact that these "mostly virgins" were so free to barter their bodies for "protection" even though they disliked sex and/or were afraid of it. The final story was by far the best, and even it was mediocre.

The Macks divert our gaze from our contemporary red-faced, cloven-hoofed misrepresentation of demons to remind us of the ancient roles demons were originally assigned to play. From the Tommyknockers of North American mountain mines to the South African Mbulu that waits in the river for lone travelers, A Field Guide to Demons classifies these creatures by their domains--water, mountain, forest--rather than in alphabetical or cultural order, dishing out antique and contemporary lore on these most misunderstood of spirits. A Field Guide to Demons melds folklore and mythology; maintains a surprisingly evenhanded view of demons; and reveals their role as the necessary challenger to established order, the antagonist--without which there could be no hero--and the darkness through which goodness shines brightest. --Brian Patterson
Book Description
Watch your back! . . . How to spot and identify demons and other subversive spirits . . . And what to do next.Demons, fairies, and fallen angels are everywhere. They lurk at crossroads, crouch behind doors, hide in trees, slip into beds, wait in caves, hover at weddings and childbirths, disguise themselves as friends, relatives-even disguise themselves as you. They are powerful; they are protean; they are enchanting. And, to the uninformed, they are often invisible. This illustrated guide-the first of its kind-reveals the remarkable permutations of the demon and fairy species worldwide. Packed with lore about each demon, detailing its origins, the culture surrounding it, and its reputed antics and exploits, A Field Guide to Demons, Fairies, Fallen Angels, and Other Subversive Spirits is a fascinating exploration of global mythologies. Perfect for the armchair traveler and the intrepid, seasoned demon-spotter alike, this complete guide to subversive spirits offers a behind-the-scenes look at the devilish mishaps, impish irritations, and demonic devastations that punctuate our lives.

Folklore, Nothing More.......2007-02-14
I must admit that I bought this book at a stage in my life when I believed in the supernatural. I don't anymore. At the time, it seemed like interesting reading and perhaps even a manual of some sort that could be used in case I ever came into contact with supernatural beings. This book is like a little encyclopedia on such beings as they have been described in folklore worldwide. In here, you will find descriptions and legends behind creatures like the Islamic Djinn, Japanese Oni and Jewish Asmodeus. Some of the ancient (and current) gods worshipped by men are also included. Unfortunately, while this makes for fascinating reading, you can't really get into it unless you actually believe in these things. The style of writing almost seems like that should be a prerequisite. The book itself is lovely; printed on soft paper with illustrations that are good but could have been better. Many of them look like they could have been drawn by just about anyone. The cover will certainly tempt you to pick it up, though. The book index is also quite excellent as it includes even related entries that are not really 'topics' per se. Perhaps this makes the index look meatier than it otherwise would be. Even so, if you are looking for a critical or even remotely scientific analysis of the subject matter, this book is not for you. On the other hand, if you are steeped in these beliefs, it would probably be one of your more cherished possessions. I don't know much about the authors, Carol and Dinah Mack, but I would imagine they are something right out of the series, "Charmed".
Folklore, Myths, Legends & Beasts..........2007-01-17
Anywhere you go, stories are told. Sometimes, passed down from Elder to Child, tales at bed-time, or simply in fun or even in warning - superstition.
Figures that lurk in the darkness of night, swimming in the depths of lakes, the vastness of desert, or in the cover of dense forests - many types of Fairy, ( Fae ), Monsters, or Creatures is referenced in this book. Each with their own description, ( sometimes illustrated ), and some even with added tidbits, such as how they are featured in Lore, Locations, and how to disarm, conjure, or dispel.
For those interested in Folklore, Beings, Hybrid Creatures, Demonic and others, this book is a great beginning, or an addition to any collection. Great for references, or even as simple entertainment!
Each are placed in their own category, be it Mountain, Domicile, and even Psyche to name a few. How to use the Guide, Identify, Approach, and the Origin of the Species helps the reader along. For those beginning in Folklore, Creatures, etc., a handle as to how they are thought of, portrayed, Feared, and Adored.
Okay.......2007-01-10
This book was okay. I have read better. It was very interesting. Not factual but interesting...
Pleasant read........2006-07-18
The book had many demons and the small stories that go with them. I think the only thing I would have liked more in the book is for the writer to post more pictures of some of the demons the writer was trying to describe. Evnen though this was a very well made book and it is simple enough for the average reader to understand yet complex, the writer used words that I had to look up in the dictionary. So I would recomend this book to a person who is curious about demons, but not thoose who are very serious about the subject.
A Fascinating, Frightening and Sometimes Amusing Look at Malicious Spirits Worldwide.......2006-05-27
Well, as the title says, this book is a "field guide" to Demons, faeries and other malicious spirits. The book opens with a couple discussions on the nature of demons, evil, and so forth, before splitting into a field guide style approach that breaks it down into sections like "mountain", "ocean", "desert" and so forth. Within in each section are given several different demons or types of demon, along with a write up of their habits, myths and lore, how to defeat them and the like.
The first section, "Oceans", covers several well known sea monsters and water faeries such as mermaids, the Japanese kappa, the Australian bunyip, the Russian rusalka and the Scottish kelpie, amongst others (like the Mbulu, a water person from Zulu folklore). In the "Mountains" section we get a wide variety of demons, ranging from Huwawa (from the Epic of Gilgamesh) to the tiny Abatwa of Zulu belief and the "little people" of Cherokee folklore. The "Forest" chapter includes a number of wild monsters like the flesh-eating Windigo of Native American belief, Japanese fox-spirits and the Rakshasa of Hinduism. A section on "the Desert" covers things like the djinn and ghuls of Islamic belief, the Mimi of Australian Aboriginal lore and Set, the Egyptian god of darkness. "The Domicile" introduces spirits of the household and domestic spheres, like the Jewish Lilith, the Changing Bear Woman of the Navajo, and the Changelings of British folkelore. The last chapter, "The Psyche", introduces highly abstract demons that play with the concept of the self, like the werewolf, Mr. Hyde, the Id and the Jewish dybbuk.
None of the entries are overly long, nor is this book a comprehensive list of demons, but it does provide a wonderful glimpse at the countless devils, evil spirits and other things that have haunted mankind's beliefs for centuries. The authors never seem to commit themselves to any one stance on the existance of demons, for the record, and I've known very religious people who have read this book. Whether or not you believe in the spirits presented here, it is a fascinating cross-cultural study of malicious spirits. Particularly if you know very little about mythology, folklore and religion to begin with. Things like faeries, werewolves and mermaids may well be common place in our vocabulary, but lesser known myths like the Patupairehe, Isitwalangcengce, Eloko and the gruesome Nuckelavee are equally frightening. All in all, a well thought out and executed book.

A coming of age tale for young adults set in the trenches of the Vietnam War in the late 1960s,
Fallen Angels is the story of Perry, a Harlem teenager who volunteers for the service when his dream of attending college falls through. Sent to the front lines, Perry and his platoon come face-to-face with the Vietcong and the real horror of warfare. But violence and death aren't the only hardships. As Perry struggles to find virtue in himself and his comrades, he questions why black troops are given the most dangerous assignments, and why the U.S. is there at all.
Fallen Angels won the 1989 Coretta Scott King Award.
Book Description
Richie Perry, Lobel, Johnson, Brunner, and Peewee are all in Vietnam. They came there for different reasons, but now they share a single dream -- getting out alive.

i hope this review helps.......2007-07-01
I got this book when i was in 7th grade from the local library, when i started reading it i couldnt put it down. Ive read this book a few times over the years. I m now 21 and in the U.S ARMY serving in Baghdad and I had my Mom send me a copy. Its a quick piece of reading material and a definit top five on my list of veitnam war books. Its a great coming of age book I recomend this book to any young or old reader. It brings light to conflict so very much like the one we deal with today.
Myers is an imanginative author.......2007-05-10
This was a very entertaining story.
Myers, who was not in the Vietnam War, seems to have thoroughly researched the war and created a wonderfully touching story with many thought proking characters.
I'd recommend this to any teenager or adult.
Fallen Angles great war book.......2007-04-25
Fallen Angles is about an African American named Perry who joins the army to fight in the Vietnam War. Perry and 4 of his other friends thought they where ready to leave and the war was over before they killed any Vietnamese. Then as their problems get bigger and their friends start to get killed they have to stay in and fight for their lives if they wanted the war to end.
My favorite part in the book is when they get into their first firefight. Perry and the platoon go out to a small village looking for VC and no VC where found. That night as they were flown back to base camp, another platoon was walking through the village three of there men where shot. When the Platoon was searching, the VC where hiding in the graveyard and came out and killed any villages who helped the Platoon, so Perry had to go back and fight them of. When Perry fought it was so dark he couldn't see who he was shooting at until and his only source of light was a flare. Then when they cleared the VC and the chopper came to pick them up when he saw his Lieutenant was shot. They rushed them to a small town named Chu Lai but it was to late his Lieutenant died and this is when there troubles started.
Fallen Angles is a book I would only recommend to certain people. The people I would recommend this book to is people who are into wars and war books and movies. I would recommend it to them because this book gives you more of and understanding to the war and more of what it was like. Also it gives you an idea of what the soldiers in the Vietnam War where thinking about and there actions. I would only recommend it to people who like war books because this book is sometimes slow but if you are into war books you have more of an understanding. If your are having an idea of joining the service this is also an easy read because you get more interested. This is another reason why if you're not into war I wouldn't recommend this book. Over all this book is a good read and an easy read if you are interested into the topic.
Fallen Angels.......2007-04-18
The book that I read was Fallen Angels By Walter Dean Myers. How I think it compares to the real world was it was about the Vietnam War, which happened not to, long ago. When the author tells the story it makes me feel like I'm right there with them by how he explained it. If I were to close my eyes I would be able to picture the setting of the book. The #1 place that the author talked about was in Vietnam at their campus because that's were it was originally based at.
When I read the book I would ask myself questions like what happened to Jenkins when he got hurt by the bomb? Which made me want to keep on reading. Another question would be what was the Author trying to teach me? The Author makes me believe that the characters in the book are real by how she explains their personalities
Like Jenkins how his feelings were while he was in Vietnam, or Perry how he was so confident. I like all the characters because they are so believing In that they will win the war. So if you like wars about Vietnam I suggest Fallen Angels.
Fallen Angels, the best war book ever........2007-04-11
In my opinion, Fallen angels may just be the greatest book ever written on the subject focusing on the climax of the Vietnam war. This book is about a young soldier that just joined the army, Perry, and his experiences out on the front lines of Vietnam. It's a chilling tale of how they surviv ed, and all the hardship and peril they had to live through. Not only surviving, but dealing with the enemy. And each other. Perry's squad must deal with losses, casualties, and try top get along with one another, due to the racial differences that they face. My favorite part of this novel is when Perry and Peewee, must cross the swamp, at night. This is my favorite part because it clearly depicts all the turmoil, and peril our soldiers had to deal with during this war. It makes you appreciate what our troops do for us. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the history of United States wars, because it's so true, and so realistic, you'll feel like you're really standing out in the swamp, with other soldiers. Those are the reasons why anyone that likes to read needs to get their hands on a copy of fallen Angels.

Fantasy series fans may argue over the relative merits of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth, George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, but in a world of middle books that go nowhere and endless waits between episodes, Goodkind is certainly still serving up some of the best fantasy on today's menu.
The Seeker of Truth and his Mother Confessor sweetie are both looking a little worse for the wear after their chime-hunt in Soul of the Fire. To top that off, Lord Rahl finds himself a reluctant prophet with the vision that their cause, the fight for freedom against the Imperial Order, is essentially sunk. (Chalk that up to part of the Wizard's First Rule: people really are stupid.) The two lovers soon find themselves separated, Richard off to the Old World thanks to treacherous Sister of the Dark Nicci, and Kahlan left behind, forced to betray Richard and his prophecy by raising an army to fend off the approaching armies of Emperor Jagang.
Whether it's fair or not, Goodkind will likely get beaten up a bit for visiting the trough once too often, à la Jordan. But fear not: Faith of the Fallen does progress at a good clip, and its conclusion--while by no means a final payout--should satisfy. --Paul Hughes
Book Description
Terry Goodkind author of the enormously popular Sword of Truth novels, has forged perhaps his best novel yet, pitting Richard Rahl and Kahlan Amnell against threats to the freedom of the world that will take them to opposite ends of the world to defeat the forces of chaos and anarchy.Emperor Jagang is rising once again in the Old World and Richard must face him, on his own turf. Richard heads into the Old World with Cara, the Mord-Sith, while his beloved Kahlan remains behind. Unwilling to heed an ancient prophecy, Kahlan raises an army and goes into battle against forces threatening armed insurrection in the Midlands.Separated and fighting for their lives, Richard and Kahlan will be tested to the utmost.AUTHORBIO: Terry Goodkind lives in the Northeastern U.S.REVIEW: "Notable for its engaging secondary characters, the novel also evinces flashes of sly wit, as when an evil Chime takes the form of a menacing chicken. ....Goodkind's ingenious world-building will keep readers captivated by the latest installment of his bestselling Sword of Truth series." (Publishers Weekly)

It was a great book.......2007-10-05
My husband just loved the book. He is adddicted to reading these books and can't wait to pick up the next one.
functional, but not fun.......2007-09-30
If you're about to get on an airplane or a container ship you could do worse. You could do a lot better as well.
I get tired of how every character is both completely transparent and painfully earnest. It makes for a predictable and irritating story. The book is desperately in need of some ambiguity, or cynicism, or at least a sense of humor. I also didn't need a crude allegory about soviet style communism and the healing power of art.
PAGE TURNER.......2007-09-24
FAITH OF THE FALLEN is a wonderful book! This novel puts Goodkind back in the place he should be: As a top notch creator of character driven plots with powerful locations that honestly produce a long fun ride! Certainly his message is clear and very positive. I love the way he uses something unexpected to move a message forward about humanity. The only gripe I might have would be simply this: Can Richard do everything? He is almost unbelievably larger than life, but this does not really cause a problem. Fantasy, by nature, produces larger than life characters. It is handled so well that one does not really notice. Honestly, I came away from the book liking Richard even more. He is like an old friend that is fun to visit with in the massive tomes that Goodkind produces for our enjoyment. Impressive!
***SPOILER WARNING***
Warren's death broke my heart. I really liked the guy, but it just goes to show that Goodkind is willing to do what needs to be done in order to move the plot and make the world real to the reader.
Faith Of The Fallen..........2007-09-23
Now I know some folks don't think Terry Goodkind does that great of a job, I think to the contrary...that man makes books where you can feel the pain, the love,the lust and the hate...when a book can do that to you you know you've found something special...now Faith Of The Fallen epitomizes now a days...we sit in a state of disillusion till one of us figures our place in life and rises above bringing others with us...as usual Terry Goodkind shows that art is alive and well...
Book 6.......2007-09-20
I have only just begun reading this book...but from what I've read thus far it is very good. i highly recommend this series.
Book Description
In Northern Genabackis, a raiding party of savage tribal warriors descends from the mountains into the southern flatlands. Their intention is to wreak havoc amongst the despised lowlanders, but for the one named Karsa Orlong it marks the beginning of what will prove to be an extraordinary destiny.
Some years later, it is the aftermath of the Chain of Dogs. Tavore, the Adjunct to the Empress, has arrived in the last remaining Malazan stronghold of Seven Cities. New to command, she must hone twelve thousand soldiers, mostly raw recruits but for a handful of veterans of Coltaine’s legendary march, into a force capable of challenging the massed hordes of Sha’ik’s Whirlwind who lie in wait in the heart of the Holy Desert.
But waiting is never easy. The seer’s warlords are locked into a power struggle that threatens the very soul of the rebellion, while Sha’ik herself suffers, haunted by the knowledge of her nemesis: her own sister, Tavore.
And so begins this awesome new chapter in Steven Erikson’s acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen . . .
Customer Reviews:
What's the point.......2007-08-17
I loved the first book of the series, Gardens of the moon. Unfortunately each new book is a little bit less then the previous one, and this one is the worst of the 4 i've red so far.
First, how annoying is it to have new major charachters in ever single book? What's the point of sequels if i have to deal with hundreds of boring pages that bring new charachters to life over and over again? By the time you reach the forth book of epic fantasy, it's inexcuable.
Second, since Deathhouse gate the story drags to much. The whole books consist of one little element that is streched thru enitre book, at the end of which only 10% of developed polots are concluded, making you feel like an idiot for reading 800 pages to find out almost nothing - pretty cheap trick from Mr. Erikson to ensure a million sequels. In which the same thing starts over again.
And finaly, since Gardens of the moon, there has been to much characher's invards thoughts, particularly consiting of cheap philosphy. Do we really need that in fantasy books? The whole series it starting to get a little bit to "outthere", to apstract, almost like he's losing touch with ceirtan forms of reality that are desirable in fantasy. Wonder if he'll come up with a fifth race now, that is even more ancients than the already superpowerfull ons that followed them.
This book is the first where i actually started to skip pages because it was to boring and pointless...i knew i wouldn't miss anything since the story drags so. Well, the whole Mhybe thing in the third book was wreched as well, but there were other charachters that more than made up for it.
Those are the bad things, however there is a lot of good things that continue over from previous books so by now you should know them. Overall i love this series and will place an order for books 5&6, hoping they will be as good as book number 1, or at least not as bad as book number 4. Thou i was shocked some people dare compare it to Martin. We need faster turn of events with less dancing around the subject, charachters we love on regulars basis, less introspection of such constant basis and more substance and conclusion per book. Then we can talk about this series being a contender for top3 places of modern epic fantasy.
If you made it this far, by all means go on.......2007-07-24
The Malazan series redefines the meanings of "grand" and "epic" in fantasy- the scale of Erikson's endeavor is breathtaking.
Karsa Orlong's character arc (which gets quite a bit of screen time) was interesting to follow in this volume, and the reader isn't swamped with as many new characters as in the previous volumes. Erikson's books take a long time for the plot to build momentum--reading Memories of Ice sometimes felt like a long, wearing treck before reaching the thrilling resolution-- but by focusing on fewer plot threads, the Houe of Chains begins to "pay out" much sooner.
Yet while I'm enjoying these doorstopper novels, it is with a mild interest. The Malazan series certainly has a devout fan following, but it does not have a universal appeal for all fantasy readers. And if you've read the first three books of the series, you probably know whether or not you're a fan.
House of Chains is more tightly knit than its predecessors (despite its gargantuan size) and I've enjoyed it best of the four Malazan books I've read at this point. If you liked Memories of Ice and Deadhouse Gates, then you won't be disappointed by House of Chains. However, if reading the first 3000 pages of the Malazan series has been more of a chore than a pleasure, don't expect anything radically different from book four; rather, see if you like the writing of George R. R. Martin or R. Scott Bakker better instead.
The Teblor: Giants among men.......2007-04-29
With each book in the series I am coming to enjoy Erikson more and more. With House of Chains we see new characters and races introduced with ease, fitting perfectly within the story. With some authors inserting new characters, and more so races, slows the pace down and oftentimes makes the story disjointed and unreal, as real as fantasy can be that is. But Erikson does it with ease as the Teblor, Liosan and other people are introduced.
The beginning of the book is different than Erikson's normal style, but this is done just as well! As we watch the Teblor we feel that sense of awe at such a powerful character, we see the difference between the Teblor and everyone else. This is one of the reasons I enjoy Erikson so much because he is able to write about gods and goddesses, mages, warlocks and other larger than life characters and make them really and truly seem larger than life. His descriptions show us why they are as powerful as they are and we can believe it, which is the important element to making this work.
With House of Chains we see all of this. Especially with Karsa Orlong in the thick of things. One downside to this epic series that Erikson is creating is that there are so many characters and there is nothing to reference them. There is a list of characters in the back, but this is just that, a list. I oftentimes found I could not remember why such and such character is important from the previous books, or the myth or legend revolving around something. The book is still good, but I wish there was something to help the flow from one sweeping book to the next.
All in all, a definite recommend.
4 stars.
Fantastic..Buy all the Erikson you can find..........2007-03-31
I have thoroughly enjoyed each of his novels, and THe House Of Chains is no exception. He continues his unique blend of fantastic, almost poetic prose and uses it to convey the gritty realism of a bloody and violent war.
Amazing series soldiers on........2007-02-28
Steven Erikson, House of Chains (Tor, 2002)
Steven Erikson and George R. R. Martin released Memories of Ice and A Storm of Swords, the third massive novels in their respective fantasy series, within a year of one another. Both turned out to be one of the best books released in their respective years, and solidified the two series as two of the foremost works in the genre.
Martin took five years to deliver novel number four (and, as of this writing, novel number five is nowhere in sight), and it turned out to be, in the eyes of most critics (and not an inconsiderable number of his fans), a vast letdown after the brilliance of the first three novels. Erikson, on the other hand, delivered book number four less than eighteen months later, and The Malazan Book of the Fallen (which is unfortunately the victim of a long and completely inexplicable lag in publishing in America; House of Chains is newly-released in America as of November 2006, while England and Canada will be seeing book seven in April 2007) just kept roaring along at the same breakneck pace.
The disparate threads that have been explored in previous novels are beginning to come together now, as what's left of the Bridgeburners, the Malazan's army on Genabackis, and Sha'ik's Army of the Whirlwind all move towards collision for very different reasons. The Tiste Edur and T'lan Imass, who have been bit players throughout, get a little more exploration here, and we're introduced to the Tiste Liosan, the light-aspected brothers of the Edur and the Andii. As always, there's a vast web of plots, subplots, sub-sub-plots, and farther on down the line at work here, not only in Erikson's structuring of the book but in the motivations of his characters, as well. Sometimes it's hard to believe that in Erikson's cast-of-thousands universe, there's a single character on whom Erikson hasn't written a full biography in his notes. It's the attention to detail that makes these books so fantastic, and fantastic it is. This is another incredible novel. If you haven't made Erikson's acquaintance yet, you owe it to yourself to do so. **** ½
