Authentic.......2006-10-06

I actually used to know the author twenty years ago while spending a summer in Charleston, during an internship with the Historic Charleston Foundation back in my college years...his character and personality really come out in this novel.

In fact, he once told me of several supernatural incidents involving voodoo that he believed really happened. In other words, he really believed in the possibility of the sorts of things that took place in the book. He actually comes from among the First Families there 'South of Broad Street'.

I'm very proud of him and recommend his book! :) It really flows.

Root of All Evil, I read it every Halloween.............2006-07-29

Late to the dance, I bought this book in 1997 while in Charleston at a book signing held by the author in The Charleston Place Hotel. David signed the book that I would never see Charleston in the same way after reading his terrific story and he was correct! I continue to visit Charleston every year at least once and read the book each October because it fits that season so well. I remain hopeful that a second novel is being considered, perhaps a continuation of the story, The Root of All Evil. Buy it.

Farrow Shows the Real Charleston.......2000-07-20

Aside from a page-turning good story, Mr. Farrow brings to life the Charleston that exists behind the tinsel and tourism. This is the real Charleston, with all of its beauty and blemishes. It's the world of old families and tradition that's quickly being lost. If you love what you see in Charleston, read this book and get a sense of what you otherwise would never see.

The Root of All Evil.......2000-01-11

This is a true page turner!The sights and sounds of Charleston are alive throughout the book.A great vacation read.If you like horror with character (and characters),you'll love this book.

The Root of All Evil.......2000-01-08

A great book which contains an element not common in a lot of todays reading..the author has "lived" these moments..not researched them..and has woven this into a great story. Once you get past the character building in the beginning it hunkers down and the real flavors come out..including thought provoking elements involving man and how he defines himself in the universe (you know those we have in the quiet moments). The author does an excellent job defining "charm", something alien to the roaring masses, but certainly an aspect we should preserve....the conclusion pulls it all together (much beter than that other book..11:30 in the garden)..read it!

Wisdom, honesty, and sharing a new vision of hope........2007-05-28

The Root of All Evil is an eye opener for the covert patriarchal mind-set of cultures world wide. It is a timely book for self-inventory about belief systems and where our beliefs originate. Four women, from diverse cultures, bring to the surface how patriarchy has been the primary cause of suffering within and between cultures for thousands of years. These women illuminate, through self-searching of their cultures, the reasons that can pit one culture against the other. An important question is pondered,why do we believe what we believe? This question invites the reader to search for the answer as well. The authors' point out that cultures are programmed from birth to believe fallacies concerning other culture's religions and governments. The authors' also point out the importance of honoring feminine principles by bringing compassion, peace, and gender balance into our troubled world. This book holds an urgent message for all of us.

Book Description

Brandt Dodson follows the success of the first two books in his Colton Parker Mystery series—Original Sin and Seventy Times Seven—with another intriguing story.

Wealthy businessman Berger Hume is dying. And the one thing he wants most is the one thing his millions cannot buy—a relationship with the son he has never met. As Colton Parker, private investigator, searches to locate the son, he finds himself the target of threats from a powerful gang with ties that extend to high–level government.

The twists of this case cause Colton to question his own values. Will he risk the one thing that matters most? And will this race against time become a race for his own life?

Customer Reviews:

Awesome series.......2007-09-03

This new series are thrilling mysteries. Colton, as a detective, does not hold back in getting information from potential witnesses and he's not easily intimidated. Very much nail biting, humorous and action all rolled up in one. I recommend all four books in this series. I'm currently reading the 4th.

A very wild ride.......2007-07-14

Colton Parker is back and this time he's in for a wild ride. When Colton Parker is hired to find Miles Poole, the possible son of multi-millionaire Berger Hume, he's brought into a world of biker gangs, money, guns, corruption, and murder for hire. With few leads, Parker has to encourage reluctant individuals to divulge little tidbits of information in order for him to follow the clues to find out exactly who Miles Poole is, what he does, where to find him, is he Hume's son, who wants Miles dead, and what does an influential senator have to do with any of this. Oh, and who's hunting for Parker? Lots of questions, with very few answers.

The Root of All Evil was better than Dodson's previous two books. He did a wonderful job of writing a very intriguing story, while at the same time taking a relaxed approach with working the message into the story. The interaction between Parker and Callie was handled better this time. Instead of several pages spent evaluating her psyche, we see her reaction and how she's handling new situations. I greatly prefer this approach.

The story was excellently written. Multiple little mysteries that tied into an entire complicated plot is always fun to read. I was very pleased with this book and looking forward to reading many more by Dodson.

Good book and a good continuation, but... .......2007-03-18

... it leaves you wanting # 4 in the series. To me, it was good, but not quite as good as the second one. I mean, close, but it was missing one part that has kept me very interested in the series. The characters personal life. Ever since the start of the series, Dodson has served up both Parker's professional and private life. Root of All Evil didn't touch as much on the personal side as the others. It may have set up some future developments, but the story itself didn't really develop it much, and that leaves me really depending on number 4.

All the same, it's a great series and refreshing reading among the usual big-shots of inspirational fiction. Way to go Brandt Dodson.

Gumshoes....hmmmm......I never knew!!!.......2007-03-14

I love Colton Parker. He's my favorite gumshoe. I didn't really know gumshoes before I met Colton, but he's intrigued me with his reality. Colton's reality, if looked at through the world's spectacles, is grim and gritty and maybe a little lonely. If looked at through the spectacles of faith, his world holds answers to secrets and love from his daughter and even his food 'friend'. But, Colton doesn't have the answer to the ulitmate secret yet, although he is trying.

In Root, Colton ia enlisted to find the possible son of dying multi-millionaire Berger Hume. Seems simple enough, for a plot that is, but author Dodson layers in faith, deciet, intrigue and lust, carefully leading the reading on a path of discovery where at times we don't want to go. Yet, we are never dissatisifed.

[...]You know something is great when you're doing your sit time between dives in Belize and a fictional character is on your mind!!!!

Intriguing suspense set in Indianapolis.......2007-02-27

The plot to this PI mystery is filled with twists and turns that keep you guessing and wondering if Colton will be able to protect his charge and his child while unraveling who's behind the threat to one of the areas richest families. I liked how this book was not predictable and took the plot places I'd hoped it wouldn't go. The book had the hard-edged feel of a PI novel without diving into language to convey the coarseness of the characters.

The characters - even the antagonists - had facets that made them human. Dodson didn't fall into the trap of making the characters cardboard props to the plot. And I wasn't expecting the son of an extremely wealthy man to be so far removed from his father's world. Yet he still had that hole in his life that made him long to know if his father could love him.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it is not the last book of Dodson's I will read.

Book Description

It's back to Columbia Internet, "the friendliest, hardest-working, and most neurotic little Internet Service Provider in the world," for our third installment from the hit online comic, User Friendly. The cast: Quake-obsessed techies, self-absorbed sales staff, well-meaning execs, and assorted almost-humans. The background: too little office space, warring operating systems, and eternally clueless customers. Tag along as geeks go camping, Mike finds a new use for silly putty, and Stef decides to beef up his Quake skills with the Acme Forced-Feedback Enemy-Denial Smackdown Ergonomic Game Chair. If you've read the first two User Friendly editions from O'Reilly, you don't need an introduction to Greg, Jeff, Miranda, the Dust Puppy and the others. But if you haven't, welcome to the world of the hard-core geek, where humor--especially at one's own foibles--can be a survival skill. Since this is true of most work environments, chances are you won't have to know Unix or be able to log in as "root" in order to get the joke. Illiad's community is truly global--the comic's one-million-plus readers log on from Israel, Brazil, Iceland, New Zealand, and Greece, among other far-flung locations. All kinds of people seem drawn to the strip-- from 8-year-old girls to 81-year-old women--a large, diverse, and very loyal community.

For computer geeks only, but in that niche excellent.......2005-10-02

You have to be a computer geek to understand the humor. If you are, and especially if you have a unix/linux background and/or have worked with internet or other computer support you will find this one of the most hysterical comics around.

The 3rd USER FRIENDLY collection: strips from 2000.......2005-06-21

"Am thinkink. Erwin, to fight such big powerful company as AOL, am to be fightink fire with fire. Da?"
"Umm...what did you have in mind?"
"Am to becomink half computer, half human, like Borg. Then to become super administrator of all Borg functions."
"That means...you'll become..."
"Da. I will becomink root of all evil."
"Don't do it, Pitr! Don't go to the bad place!"
- Pitr the techie and Erwin the AI, in conversation

After opening with a few post-Y2K-bust strips, the Columbia Internet crew having stockpiled lots of soda and pork rinds for the occasion, the book settles into its more usual long-running plot threads.

Stef's been given the title "Manager: S&M." ("It stands for SALES AND MARKETING you depraved monkeys.") In his efforts to sell a line of products the same way that the Pokemon empire does their stuff, he persuades Pitr to make collectible Unix text editors. Pitr, in fact, goes through several evil little anti-Unix projects in the book to keep his hand in as a budding Evil Genius.

Other developments in the continuing story:
- AJ struggles to figure out how to court Miranda properly (badly timed in light of the "I love you" virus).
- Stef (who as a Windows user sees Unix holy wars as an added bonus of his job) makes the mistake of interfering in Miranda's life, which leads to a lot of Matrix crossover references.
- Mike becomes a Sims addict. ("Hey! Are you *allowed* to have four wives?")
- Greg's tech support calls turn into a game-help hotline.
- Pitr has an evil twin brother in Sales who affects the same fake accent.
- Introducing Sid Dabster, the aging ex-HP tech who becomes something of a blood enemy of Pitr's.

And, of course, the fantasy elements, such as:
- Parallels between Steve Case of AOL and Anakin Skywalker.
- Greg's Linux daemons (think "shoulder angel" here).

A little dated now, but funny nonetheless..........2004-04-27

Although a bit dated, containing strips related to the Y2K craze here and there, this little book is still otherwise as funny and timely as any commentary on the computer industry could be. The X-Men and Borg references are absolutely hysterical. If you work in a tech job, you should be reading User Friendly.

Very funny stuff.......2004-02-29

If you don't find at least some of the strips very funny, you should have your geek status removed. :)

Amusing, but not for everyone (not even all geeks :-).......2001-12-28

It's a good book, but I think previous books have been funnier.

Roller Coaster.......2007-07-11

The Root of all evil sent me on a emotional rollercoaster! I laughed, cried and got mad. By the time I finished reading the book, it had me begging for more. I immediately went home and ordered the sequel.

NOT EASILY PLEASED BUT..........2007-06-27

This book is great. It was given to me by a male friend who thought I'd appreciate the drama. Well I sure did. The story line is flawless and you just never know what's going to happen next. There are many situations going on at once but the story never becomes confusing. You'll wanna read the whole book in one shot and if you think this book is good, wait til you read the novel to follow: "When Sould Mate" by the same author. When you finish that one you still wont be pleased, you'll want more and more. These stories are definitely addicting. I love them.

This is another perfect example what money can do to an individual........2007-04-20

I happened to read the back of the book in Barnes and noble and decided to give it a shot, and I'll tell you what I was not disappointed. This book keeps your heart racing through the whole story; the suspense is a pleasant killer. You think you know what's going to happen, but you never know. I walked away from the book feeling like I personally knew the characters of the story, and even after you finish reading you still think about them.

We've been introduce to Klarke Taylor whom has not recovered from her former husband Harris leaving her for his cousin Tionne three years ago. He left her to raise their two preadolescent children almost alone. Depressed, financially, she is in worse shape as Harris had kept them in a comfortable lifestyle for the thirteen years they were married. Her parents are dead so she cannot turn to them, her bills are piling up as she is behind with all of them and the collectors harass her at home and at her job at Kemble and Steiner Printing. Desperate, Klarke and her friends Breezy and Jeva devise a scheme to trap a wealthy male. Through her printing firm's publishing customers, the trio targets bestselling author Reo Laroque, a bachelor with women desiring him, but seeks a virtuous woman although has one female Meka in his life. He enjoys exchanging email with KAT (Klarke) and thinks she is the one when they meet. The plan succeeds except that at every turn the trio gets deeper down a path that started unethical, but turned deadly.

There is no fairy tale involved in this book. It is very unpredictable and you will never guess the end of it. I liked the fact that she kept Harris in the lives of his kids regardless of the relationship that was or was not between him and Klarke. The ending had me wondering would I put myself in the same position as she did for her child. What is more important is that you can relate to the characters in the book. Author Joylynn M. Jossel done a great job putting this together while putting the right amount of: suspense, romance, and realism. Recommended.

Money, Lies, and Love........2006-06-09

When I first started it was a bit slow, but by the time I got to the tenth page I got into it. I knew the book was going to be just by the name of it. It just got ebtter and better. I found myself up after 1 in the morning reading the book. I enjoyed every inch of the book. It just me asking so may questions. I'm extremly excited to read the sequel.

However, what they uncover is a plot to construct a powerful magic relic. Unfortunately the artifact is a tool for wickedness and the players soon find themselves on a quest to Reanaaria Bay to find the means to destroy the evil item and its insidious master, before she destroys them. The Root of All Evil is an official 3rd edition Dungeons and Dragons adventure for first level characters.

Well written, very playable adventure series........2007-07-08

This is the first of three modules in the Coin of Power Trilogy.

I now have all three parts to this adventure set and I am very pleased with them.

The story starts with a simple quest to gather some precious materials from a meteorite and then it twists and turns as the players are introduced to various roadblocks that stand in the way of achieving various quests. The villain is introduced very early in this adventure -- long before the PCs are ready to deal with her. Therefore the players must rely upon NPCs/outsiders to help them complete their tasks. This calls for roleplaying beyond killing several critters in a dungeon and then gathering some loot and XP.

The books contain handy tear-outs to provide additional graphic flavor to the game. The 3 modules are self contained, but tie together nicely to create a quality adventure path.

I currently do not have the campaign sources for the Kingdoms of Kalamar, but now I'm motivated to get them.

Book Description

Refreshingly practical and immensely entertaining, national financial commentator Andrew Leckey gives his advice on money matters through the sage and prophetic wisdom of Mark Twain (a financial genius in his own time).

An avid buyer and seller of stocks, Mark Twain loved to poke fun at the financial markets and the irresistible urge of speculation. He was fascinated by scoundrels seeking to snatch the money of others, with two prime examples of this being the King and the Duke in the great American novel Huckleberry Finn. Mark Twain was born in poverty. Through eclectic business endeavors and smart investing, he amassed great wealth by age 50. He went bankrupt at 60, and became wealthy again at 70. He prospected for silver, sold his own books by subscription and took out patents on numerous inventions. His occupations included riverboat pilot, printer, and travel writer.

Using the words of Mark Twain, Andrew Leckey, an accomplished financial journalist known to millions for anchoring CNBC, imparts the lessons today's investor can learn from Twain. Leckey has combed Twain's novels, stories, speeches, and letters for telling sayings about making, saving, guarding, and growing money. The book will be humorous and fun to read as it offers down-to-earth advice-as Leckey puts it-it will be as if Warren Buffett met the Beardstown Ladies.

Among the slices of timeless investment wisdom, Twain-style:
• Divide and conquer your portfolio.
• The law of averages eventually makes you right.
• He who hesitates can save a lot.
• Every period in history had fool's gold.

Customer Reviews:

Very Disappointed.......2001-10-31

The blurbs for this book are very misleading. It is a text for beginning investors. Each chapter starts with a quote from Twain, but it has little else to do with him. The entire references to Twain probably don't exceed 5 pages of text. If you are interested in Mark Twain - forget it. Not much here. If you are interested in basic investing principles - likewise forget it - I have seen much better.

More Twain, Less Leckey.......2001-09-19

I was hoping this book would be more Twain and less Leckey. I was disappointed. Each chapter starts with one quote from Twain, and Leckey provides some background context. That's about 10% of the book. The other 90% is Investing 101 stuff.

A lighthearted investment primer.......2001-08-06

The author intertwines Mark Twains' insight, humor, and timeless wisdom with the current investment landscape. This is a good, yet basic primer for someone wanting to understand investment opportunities and pitfalls available today. It provides perspective on speculative opportunities, scams, and solid investments, choices that have been available to the novice and savvy investor alike since Twains' time.

The book contains 49 easily digestible chapters including: "The Law of Averages Eventually Makes You Right", "He Who Hesitates Can Save a Lot More" "Mutual Fund Expenses Can Hoodwink You" "Every Period in History Had It's Fools Gold", all applicable to today's investor.

There are many similar books on the market offering the same or similar advice. If you enjoy Mark Twain, and prefer your investment reading to be sprinkled with his perspective, buy this one, otherwise keep looking, you'll find another equally good book that provides the basics.

First rate!.......2001-01-24

This book does a great job of capturing Mark Twain's humor and bringing it into a modern day investment context. Investing is serious business, but we can still laugh at our mistakes while we learn from them because chances are we're not the first to make them.

If you loved reading Mark Twain growing up, you'll love both his wisdow and wit on investing.

Mark Twain, Investments and Humor.......2001-01-23

Financial columnist and television commentator Andrew Leckey has produced a facinating book of humorous and useful investment advice drawing on the writings of Mark Twain. If Twain with his erratic investments and bittersweet results seems an unlikely investment adviser, guess again. He made (and lost) several fortunes and managed along the way to accumulate some wisdom that is pertinent today. Andrew Leckey gracefully takes Twain's amusing observations and connnects them to today's market where people still make (and lose) fortunes.
