Great Product.......2007-10-09

Like most of the other reviewers have stated, this is a great product. You get 8 discs and a book that goes along with the lessons. I listen in my going to and from work, then review the workbook at night.

review cd.......2007-10-01

I spend a lot of time in my car and now I can do someting productive while I sit in traffic.

Behind the Wheel Spanish.......2007-09-30

This is a detailed product that has made it easier for me to learn Spanish than what I have experienced through either formal classes or other products. I would recommend it to my friends.

Fun and Powerful.......2007-07-15

This course is a powerhouse course for learning spanish. So much useful vocabulary and conversational skills are covered in this course it is mind blowing. Mark's strategy is to use variable repetition to build a solid base on which to learn spanish and that magic is working on me. Mark has a solid sense of which words, phrases, sentence structures etc. are most used by english and spanish speaking folks alike, and he pounds them home till they become second nature.
It's all here, not just sentence building, but how to say the time, the days of the week, count into the millions, talk about the weather and a million other daily kinds of stuff humans around the world talk about or use in thier language on a daily basis.
Mark has made an excellent tool for learning Spanish available, it is now up me, the learner, to decide how far and how fast I want to utilize it.
In such a short while I am speaking in rudimentary ways to my Spanish friends, and they are stunned at my progress knowing that -truly- the extent of my Spanish was "adios" before beginning this course.
I hope that helps some of you decide.
all the best

Extremely Helpful.......2007-07-09

I am engaged to a Spanish man, who's entire family speaks Spanish most of the time. Using this program has really helped me get started on learning the language. Now when I am at family gatherings, I find myself understanding the gist of the conversations going on. I haven't finished the program yet, but I recommend this to anyone who wants to learn Spanish and has a long commute to work or spends a lot of time on the road.

A Classic Work!.......2007-10-10

A Review by Seth Kerin, author of The Elder Worlds: Book One

The Hitchhiker's Guide series, in a stunningly bound leather binding, sits on my bookshelf in a place of honor between The Complete Works of Shakespeare, and The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe. Truly Adams was a literary genius.

If you have not read the Guide, "Don't Panic." Just pick up this lovely edition and enjoy the entire series - you will have trouble putting it down. Seriously, it's not only tremendously funny, but also remarkably deep and inspirational. Fellow readers will recognize the multitude of ways one can read into the final thoughts of the bowl of petunias...

This is an absolute must read for any fan of sci-fi/fantasy or general humor. This entire series is the comedic answer to Lord of the Rings, and certainly if they had been contemporaries, Adams and Tolkein would have likely been best of friends.

Buy it. Read it. And don't forget your towel!

Not quite "leather" bound -- but a great collection!.......2007-10-09

This is a nicely bound, leatherette covered book. Great to have the series together for easy access. Unlike another reviewer, I really liked the little ribbon marker! Beware though -- it looks a little like a Bible when you carry it around -- ! But I got a kick out of that. I felt the typesetting could have been a little nicer than what looked like just a photocopy of the pages of the original printing. All in all though, I am very happy with the purchase. A really great value.

For those who love hardbacks.......2007-08-31

Most of us who have read and enjoyed the Hitchhikers books (I won't say trilogy) have reached a point in life where getting by on 30 Altarian dollars a day and reading paperbacks has lost some of its charm. I'm in the process of cleaning up my bookshelves by replacing all the battered paperbacks of my youth with real books. I saw this omnibus edition and thought it was the perfect thing. One book with a pleasant appearance to displace a large number of ratty paperbacks. I almost didn't buy it because the price seemed to low. I thought it would sit pleasantly on my bookshelf until I was in the right mood, but I found myself diving right in and enjoying things I remembered and remembering things I forgot. The quality is much higher than I expected. The binding is very solid and the pages supple. I consider this one of my best book purchases of the year.

Great Quality Book.......2007-08-08

For the price, this book is incredible. It's a nice leatherbound copy, and shipping and everything was extremely quick. Couldn't be happier.

Incoherent is the best!.......2007-07-31

This book was introduced to me by one of the craziest persons I will ever meet in my life: My good canadian friend Amber. Once I read the first page, I was hooked. It's so incoherent, it makes you see your life in another perspective, plus the new vocabulary it uses makes you want to review your dictionary! If you have an open mind, read this whole book. Only one isn't enough (this book has 4 stories and one novel). Amazing, just amazing

Learning to pray the answer.......2007-09-21

Prayers That Avail Much - This book helps one to pray the answer, not the problem. After Amen! - to there it is, it helps you state your case, keeping God in remembrance with Thanksgiving until you see the circumstances change. Isa.43:23

Definetly a blessing.......2007-07-15

I actually bought another copy of this book for my family member, it has been a huge blessing to me and my husband.

Prayers That Avail Much books are excellent. You can find help with every kind of situation that arises. I used the book for Teens to teach a class and the group wanted to buy the book. They were excited.

Great book of everyday prayers.......2007-05-26

This is a fantastic book of everyday, every situational prayers. To make it even better, they have them nicely indexed in the front so you can locate the exact prayer you need. Add the soft leather binding and the book just feels right in your hand.

Absolutely a must have for you prayer warriors or anyone looking to expand their prayer library.

Not very availaing!.......2007-05-17

I had purchased this book as a reference for sacred space consultations, in particular with blessings and personal healing. I have since returned this book as I found it not very inspiring nor powerful in its wording. I do not feel that I am speaking to God but rather just reciting meaningless mantras.

Three in one all time classics.......2007-10-10

Many of us grew up on Tintin and love them for their great nostalgia value, and reminisces of childhood, as well as the brave values of a simpler, more clarified world of yesteryear.
This volume brings together three of the best loved Tintin classics in one handy volume- and for not much more than the price of one.
They are:
Tintin in America
1931 , and gangsters rule the streets of Chicago. It is up to intrepid European journalist Tintin and his dog Snowy to tackle Al Capone , Mr Smiles and other gangsters, taking him from Chicago to the Wild West where he dodges Indians and Cowboys , and back again.

Cigars of the Pharoah

First published in Le Petit Vingtième between 8/12 1932 and 8/2 1934. The book appeared in 1934 . Redrawn in 1955. It was first published in English in 1971.

A colourful and detailed adventure , Tintin and his dog Snowy meet up with an eccentric Egyptologist on a cruise , taking Tintin on a danger-filled adventure from Egypt to Arabia to India , in a hunt for whoever is behind the mystery of the Cigars of the Pharaoh , he is framed for heroin possesion , caught up in an Arabian war and sentenced to be executed , lost in the desert , locked up in a mental assylum in India , before being led to an international ring of drug trafficers. It is amazing the amount of detail Herge worked into these adventure comics.

Many of us grew up on them and love them for the nostalgia value.
I loved the animation in the underground Pharaoh's tomb.
Written in 1936 , The Blue Lotus is the sequel to the colourful Cigars of the Pharaoh. In the Cigars of the Pharaoh , Tintin has almost succeeded in smashing an international gang of drug traffickers , managing to capture all of them except the leader who mysteriously crashes over a ravine.
His further investigations lead him to China , then under threat from Japanese agression.
Tintin comes up against a madman infected with a dart that sends the recipient insane , enraged British colonists out for revenge after having been humiliated by Tintin and the Japanese army , with the chief villain of the piece being Japanese businessman Mitsuhirato.
This album drew protest form the Japanese government of the time , and was praised by Chiang Kai Shek , President of the Republic of China.
However, it was banned by China's Communist regime until 1984 , due to some of their own insane Maoist reasoning-and even then was still chopped up and heavily edited.
Other albums having been banned by the Communist dictatorship in China where Tintin in tibet (for recognizing tibetan culture) , Tintin in the Land of the Soviets (for exposing Communism)and Tintin in the Congo ('Colonialist').

Amazing Adventures Of TINTIN.......2007-08-24

Since I was a little boy I liked to read TINTIN's adventures. Years later, that habbit hasn't changed at all.

reliable .......2007-03-11

I am satisfied first-time buyer. my seller agreed to mail my books to an alternative address. Kept in touch with me and kept me informed until I provided the address. mailed the books on time, and i am happy, so is my 13 year old. Thanks again, those books are not available in Trinidad and Tobago, they are great for reading.

A rich part of this bilingual Canadian's heritage.......2006-09-09

Among my very early memories is as one of several children sitting on the sloped lawn between two of my neighbour's houses, each of us reading a different story - and so, in no particular order - from "Les Aventures de Tintin." This was my introduction to the most extraordinary comics world ever created, a part of my French-language heritage, though the series has been translated into many languages including English. My goal with these reviews (one for each volume) is to explain to an American audience why Tintin is such a phenomenon in the rest of the world.

I'll be skimpy as to plot details so as not to give any spoilers. I won't even give the gist of the adventures. For those who don't mind spoilers, further details are abundantly available in other reviews or by simply Googling "Tintin." Any value judgements I give are, of course, subjective.

Volume 1: Tintin in America (1932), The Cigars of the Pharaoh (1934), The Blue Lotus (1936). This is the first instalment of my reviews of each of the seven volumes.

The seven-volume series contains 21 of the 24 adventures, omitting the first two -Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo - and the last, incomplete one - Tintin and Alph-Art.

There is a leap forward from the Congo adventure with Tintin in America, further maturity with Cigars, and the series is in full bloom with The Blue Lotus. The first of the three is still amateurish and quite childish, but fun nonetheless; we see Chicago, Al Capone (the only appearance of a real-life character in the entire series, though Hergé does draw himself and some real-world people into the occasional panel, without giving them any identities), the plight of the Indians, and a ticker tape parade.

The Cigars of the Pharaoh introduces the recurring characters Rastapopoulos and the buffoonish Thom(p)son twins, gives us the first of the many mind-bending dream sequences in the series, and takes us to Egypt and to the India under the Raj (the story predates Indian independence) with a mystery that segues into the superb The Blue Lotus, which takes place in China under Japanese occupation. Already, after three adventures, children are enthralled by the exotic locations and adults are amazed by author Hergé's painstaking research and attention to detail.

Worth it.......2007-07-24

First off the CD's are not stamped as I expected, they're burned. As in they were not produced in a Factory in mass production style but instead on a one-off basis on someone's personal computer. That is not in itself a bad thing but when the CD player in my car won't play them because of it then it gets annoying. Not sure if they are burned CD-R or +R but the point is the CD player in my car won't play them, and I own a newer car so this is frustrating. Solution: I ripped the CD's to my hard drive, then converted them back to CD audio files and burned them onto another CD. CR-R format. My car plays my recreations just fine.

As to the content it seems to be a good program, although the lessons seem to me to be a little out of order. Still I am actually learning Italian.

They're worth the money, but if you're not computer savvy enough to rip the CD's and then burn new ones I would avoid this set if I were you.

Great Course.......2007-05-30

I learned to speak Spanish in just two weeks with Behind the Wheel Spanish.
I am now experiencing great success with Behind the Wheel Italian. Same great method. Very easy to use and you learn to speak fast.

An enjoyable experience.......2007-04-11

Like many other Amazon reviewers I greatly enjoy Mark Frobose's courses, and this one is no exception. The quality of audio is excellent, the native speaker has a steady, clear, and pleasant voice and gives both slow and "normal speed" pronunciation. Some minor problems include the absence of tracks (1 disc = 1 track), which makes it more difficult to go back to a particular material. Also, the beginning of the first lesson deals briefly with reading and cannot be easily understood if you are truly "behind the wheel". Even though I've just started with the course, I'm already looking forward getting the second (intermediate) part by the same author!

Great Text, Even Greater CDs.......2007-04-10

As with other 'Behind the Wheel' language products I have used, I like the entire package.
I have found the text included in Behind the Wheel Italian Revised to be extremely helpful in learning tenses, showing basic to advanced sentence construction. The same page answer keys to the exercises on each page along with the helpful diagrams make learning Italian a breeze.
Now, on to the CDs. Words cannot describe how effective they are. I have tried many and these are the fastest and easiest on the market.

Exceptional.......2007-03-12

After reading some of the comments from reviews of some of the more popular language-learning systems by the students (mainly that the phrases were not accurate for true Italian speakers) I tried to find one that used a native Italian speaker. As I have not been to Italy and do not know any native Italians, I cannot say with certainty that this program is accurate, but the instructor seems to be an accomplished speaker in the romance languages and his "interpreter" sounds like a native speaker.

I find the course easy to use. The CDs are very clear and build upon what has already been learned. The accompanying book is helpful, but at times a bit confusing. It appears the author simply took the material from the Spanish study and transposed it to this book (because some of the phrases are still in Spanish). I believe this to be a result of bad editing, and not lack of expertise by the instructor. However, it would lend more credence to the study to fix these few flaws in the book. Proofreading is a good thing - believe me I know. I used to work for a newspaper and you can get some very amusing or very embarrassing errors if you don't proofread carefully.

Overall, I like this program. It's easy to use and understand, and it starts the learner out with simple phrases instead of conjugating verbs as some of the other books do. The instructor explains sentence structure and grammar as he goes, but it is integrated into the lessons where one would actually use it immediately. Therefore, it is easier to understand and remember. I have used three different language-learning systems, and this seems to be the best of the three. I would definitely recommend it.

Customer Reviews:

I would have given this book five stars, had I ever read it........2007-01-10

Gods do not want me to know what Dale Carnegie wrote in his book. First time I ordered it, the dimwits from the post office lost the package. By the time that fact became firmly established, Amazon did not have any more copies in stock and issued a refund. I ordered then from one of the Amazon sellers, but few weeks later got another refund. And today, I have received an e-mail, asking me to review few earlier purchases, including this book. The e-mail had a convenient link to the reviewer's page. So, here you go: happy to oblige!

A good read but..........2006-11-03

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was amazing how relevent it still is and how little people truely have changed. This book is a must read. The only complaint I have which prevents me from giving this book a 5 star rating is; a few sermons scattered mostly towards the end of the book. I really didn't appreciate them. After a person gets past this I would recomend this book, and have recomended it to friends with the cautionary comment about the 'sermons'.

New Title Suggestion: How to get laid in 60 minutes........2003-03-26

The very first time I applied these techniques in a bar, I simultaneously made out with 2 gorgeous women. This book has changed my life... What more can I say?

There are, however, some points that must be cleared up before you apply the techniques within this guide.

1.In many cultures, it is considered rude to ask personal questions of a relative stranger. (ex: "what do you do for a living.")

2.In today's legal environment, you may be held liable if you begin an argument by telling your opponent they are correct. (Ex: saying "I'm sorry" at a traffic accident.)

A must have.......2002-09-08

This book was written in the early 1900s and still is very effective today. I found this book to be essentially "priceless". Whatever I describe here would not do justice to what this book deserves.

Believe the other reviews, I bought this book based on them and am very glad I did. Very easy to read, very long but something you do not want to put down.

I may be wrong but let us examine the facts.......2002-01-22

You know this book only got a 4.5 rating which made me curiuos. After scaning through all the review, i found that some actually gives the lowest rating there is to the book. I was upset.

Still it was no surprise that they don't like it. You cannot satify everyone. But then some of this reviews does sound misleading which in turn gets on my nerve.

I mean how many times do you come across a book that does exactly as what its title said? Tecnical book maybe, but self-helps? And how many self-help that put a title so bold as this one in the first place? The thing is,this book delivers. You might have to apply it constantly to be good at it and sometimes it might even be difficult but it delivers.(it takes time)

The other thing is this book doesn't teach you to lie or decipt. Although some may do that after reading the book but then it's not because the book teaches them to be evil, only simply because they are unethical. It is like saying cloning is bad because poeple can use the technology to create an army of super human. Like science, the book doesn't tell how to use your knowledge but only tells you how to do it.

Sincerity. The book does to emphasize on it in order to not confuse its principles as evil. So, why does people still get confuse? As I understand, the defination of sincerity (in virtue terms) means performing something like helping other people
or giving something away with hoping for reward or anything else in return.
So does winning friends. You may become popular or well liked but don't hope for anything in return if you are sincere. It is because of people hoping for too much when applying this principles that they gives 1 star for the book. -sigh-

The other thing I was upset are reviews that like the book but doesn't gives full star for it. Why? Don't they realised that there is no other book like this one?(ok there is another one) Dale Carnegie wrote self-help like how it should be written:
1. Include priciples of successful people.(two years research)
2. 8 years of research through experience of thousands of people.
3. No "the best way to [insert action] for me is this, this, this and so I hope you would follow my style of doing things".
4. An introduction that says "Why do I bother to write another book, and after I have written it, why would you evenbother to read it. Fair question and I shall try to answer them both..."

As Carnegie himself said, this book is not born out of the ivory tower. If you think that there is a better way to write a self-help book, tell me and then find a book that is written that way. Betcha can't.

Praying the scriptures.......2007-07-01

How do you know if you're praying for the right things? You can't go wrong when you're praying the scriptures! I've owned the books that go into this for many years and they are always close at hand for those times when I'm unsure in a situation, or my prayer time has become lukewarm. It is broken down into prayers for every situation so it's easy to find what you need and the scripture verses that are used. I've given them as gifts for years for friends and relatives and it makes a good gift for new believers. This edition is gorgeous, but what is inside is priceless.

Wonderful.......2007-03-27

A coworker was sending this book to his son in the military overseas and let me take a peak. I was so impressed that I purchased one for my family and my father. It has prayers for any situtation imaginable. I highly recommend.

An Excellent Guide to Help Your Prayer Life.......2007-03-10

Recently I signed up to participate in the Intercessory Prayer Ministry at our church and noticed this title the first time I went to the prayer room.

Before I intercede for others, I use this book to help me get in the right frame of mind by praying for myself first. The book contains prayers for every circumstance: God's guidance, wisdom, discernment, relationships, weariness, financial concerns, etc.

The prayers are written as Bible verses so in essence when you pray these, you are praying God's Word back to Him. I have found myself to be in a better frame of mind when I use the book to prepare me to pray for others.

I highly recommend the book for anyone who wants to strengthen their prayer life and to also help memorize verses from God' Word. Again, there are prayers for practically every situation in life.

Read, pray, and enjoy!

Prayers for My Needs.......2007-02-16

Three Southern settings, three unique adventures, three complete bestsellers make up this one satisfying volume.

When a plane crash leaves her disfigured beyond recognition, TV reporter Avery Daniels finds herself in the hospital, mistaken for a selfish Texas socialite, the wife of a famous senatorial candidate. Initially unable to communicate, Avery is given plastic surgery that makes her "good as new." Stripped of her identity and completely vulnerable, she learns of an insider's plot to assassinate her "husband"--and she's supposedly in on it. Reporter's instincts may be the initial reason for keeping up the charade, but soon other instincts kick in and Avery finds herself trapped in a world of power, politics, lies, and lust. Mirror Image is full-speed from the start, and doesn't ease up until the final, dramatic showdown.

"Before I'm finished, I'm going to know which one of you killed my mother," proclaims Alexandra Gaither, a striking young attorney out for revenge. Ignited by the cryptic words of her ailing grandmother, Alex storms into a dusty Texas town like a hired gun and reopens the 25-year-old murder case she's not even old enough to remember. Best Kept Secrets takes on the big business of small-town politics. Confronting the three most powerful men in the community, Alex attempts to find the flaw in their carefully constructed history. She's ready for almost every possible complication, every hidden danger except this: her growing desire for one of the prime murder suspects.

Schyler Crandall is back in Heaven--Heaven, Louisiana. The adopted daughter of the most powerful man in town, Schyler ran away years before, distraught over a broken engagement and painful betrayal. Now, with her father fighting for his life in a hospital bed, Schyler jumps back into a world of secrets and lies to salvage a family logging empire on the brink of disaster. Slow Heat in Heaven has been hailed for its "steamy prose," and won Brown the Waldenbooks Award for bestselling single title release. It's the perfect capper for this three-in-one pleasure-fest. --Sara Nickerson

Book Description

For the first time in one volume, here are three enchanting romance novels by bestselling author Sandra Brown.

Always a happy ending.......2007-07-18

I enjoyed knowing that these love stories would always have a happy ending. This would be a wonderful relaxing read for the beach.

Not good at all.......2007-07-07

I normally like Sandra Brown's books, however this book of three novels must been very early work. It is so terrible I gave up in disgust and did not finish the last novel. I regret purchasing it.

Get it..it's great!!.......2005-01-21

I happened across this book in a used book store. I'm a fan of Sandra Brown, although I don't cut her any slack when I read one that isn't what I expected. Let's face it, we have to tell it like it really is. But all three of the stories in this one book happen to be some of Sandra's very best writing. Do yourself a favor and get it. I thought it was greeeaaatttttttt!!!!

Liked the first 2, the other was so-so.......2003-04-09

The 1992 edition of this book is riddled with spelling errors and poor punctuation. I found 10 errors alone in SHH. I enjoyed the first 2 novels. I like the mystery aspect of both. The third, SHH was sub-par. I lost interest half-way through. A great bargain overall. Smaller print than most hardcovers.

Sandra Brown is a literaray genius.......2002-01-29

I do not understand where all these bad reviews are coming form, I am a huge Sandra Brown fan, and I think that three stories in one was the perfect idea, by the time I have finished one, I'm ready to go to read all Sandra Browns books, and best kept secrets was one of my favorites, as for some of the other reviews, Sandra Brown writes fiction novels, so they are based soley on the creativity she finds within herself, and I think that she has done a dam good job at keeping us all entertain. No matter what she writes she does it in a way where I can not put the book down!

Matthew Henry's dcommentary on the Whole Bible.......2007-05-21

The content is good. The letters are too small to read

Matt Henry's Commentary as I see it.......2007-05-15

This book should be a must have for all christians. It is pretty straight forward and helps christians to understand clearly the true meaning of the Bible. The author is very concise and spiritual . This is a book that is great for Bible Study and Prayer Meeting in churches, homes, individual ownerships, pastors, christian and non-christians; great to carry around in your car, guides one through daily endeavours. I strongly recommend this book if you need to know the entire Bible.

Amazon.com Review

Tove Jansson's Moomin stories are read and loved around the world, enjoying devoted attention in Japan, Europe and Jansson's native Scandinavia. Jansson's work is now seeing a further growth in popularity, with the Moomin chapter books republished in Britain and France, and new US editions released by FSG. The revival continues in North America with this new volume of comic strips from premium publishers Drawn & Quarterly.

Originally published in London's Evening News, Jansson drew and wrote these strips in English. Written in the same period (1954-1960) as the chapter books Moominsummer Madness and Moominland Midwinter, these strips will entertain children with their familiar characters, while adult readers will appreciate their gentle wit and often satirical stance.

This volume is the first in an anticipated five-volume set, and collects the four stories Brigands, Family Life, Moomin on the Riviera and Moomin's Desert Island.

Book Description

The enchanting comic strip that introduced adult readers to the wonderful world of Moomin

Tove Jansson is revered around the world as one of the foremost children’s authors of the twentieth century for her illustrated chapter books regarding the magical worlds of her creation, the Moomins. The Moomins saw life in many forms but debuted to its biggest audience ever on the pages of the world’s largest newspaper, the London Evening News, in 1954. The strip was syndicated in newspapers around the world with millions of readers in forty countries. Moomin Book One is the first volume of Drawn & Quarterly’s publishing plan to reprint the entire strip drawn by Jansson before she handed over the reins to her brother Lars in 1960. This is the first time the strip will be published in any form in North America and will deservedly place Jansson among the international cartooning greats of the last century.

The Moomins are a tight-knit family–hippo-shaped creatures with easygoing and adventurous outlooks. Jansson’s art is pared down and precise, yet able to compose beautiful portraits of ambling creatures in fields of flowers or on rock-strewn beaches that recall Jansson’s Nordic roots. The comic strip reached out to adults with its gentle and droll sense of humor. Whimsical but with biting undertones, Jansson’s observations of everyday life, including guests who overstay their welcome, modern art, movie stars, and high society, easily caught the attention of an international audience and still resonate today.

Customer Reviews:

It's too whimsical and funny to limit to younger audiences.......2007-09-08

In 1953 the London Evening News began running Moomin comics on a daily basis - and soon the little fantasy animals were published in over 40 papers around the world. Tove Jansson, creator of the strip, drew it for five years and these black and white strips offers her complete Moomin features to delight new and old audiences alike. It's too whimsical and funny to limit to younger audiences, and is reviewed here as a top pick for any general-interest library strong in comics history and illustrator representations.

Magical.......2007-06-09

I read all the Moomin books that I could lay my hands on as a child. I loved them then and still love them today. I thought I had seen everything Tove Jansson did, but these comic strips are new to me. It is wonderful that they are published again and published in such a beautiful way. Tove Jansson's work still manages to enthrall me. Thanks for taking me back to the land of the Moomins.

Fan-tastic!.......2007-06-09

I have had dreams about finding "secret" Moomintroll books, so when i found out that this collection of the Moomintroll comic strips was being released i was overjoyed. This volume is amazing, there is just so much of Jansson's art. She has a very unique style & it's just wonderful to have this much of it. I would agree that this should be thought of as an addition to the Moomin books, but that's not a sleight against the collection. Pick it up!

Good, but not nearly as good as the books.......2007-04-04

I love children's literature, and Tove Jansson's Moominvalley books are in my opinion among the best children's books ever written. They are engaging adventures for a child, with excellent use of half-human, half-animal characters. At the same time, they provide more than enough depth of character, portrayal of family dynamics and other interpersonal dynamics, humor and gentle social satire, and expression of love of place to satisfy the adult reader.

The comic strips are good, but they are not nearly as good as the books. There simply aren't enough words, and the pictures are not sufficient to substitute for Jansson's masterful descriptions in the books. For the reader who already knows the books, the comic strips will be a pleasant diversion, just to see more of Jansson's work. But anyone who reads the comic strips without having read the books is missing out on the real treasure.

Funny, I like it!.......2007-03-09

This comic is funny and cute. But i think it's more for older kids and adults. Some feelings and humors are not that easy to be understood by young kids.
