This book shed light onto so many of my dreams. It makes understanding your dreams easy. My sister kept taking mine so I had to get another!

1 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTING.......2006-12-15

I was extremely disappointed in this book. I was purchasing it as a gift. For $25.00 I expected something a little more mature. It looks like a child's book and the very few pages of dream dictionary included in the back are limited. I need to spend another $25.00 on a real book to give. I cannot return it because they will deduct the free shipping cost from the purchase price. With the return cost of shipping and that fact, the total is almost what I paid for the book.

5 out of 5 stars So Much Fun!.......2005-11-11

This book was given to me for my birthday... and I absolutely thought it was great!! It was so much fun to read. I loved reading the real dreams and the real stories behind the dreams. The author did share some of her own dreams, but the book wasn't entirely her dreams, it was mostly real people and real life. It was like a therapy session no one knows you're peeking in on. I am now a firm believer in the fact that our dreams are desperately trying to speak to us. This book was so enlightening!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Love it!.......2005-09-23

I bought this book for my wife and we actually fought over it!
We both loved reading the juicy stories of the peoples lives who had the dreams... because we totally related.

This book opened up many dialogues between my wife and I. We had a lot of fun going through it and saying, "Oh yeah, I've had this sort of dream!" And now we know why we had and continue to have certain dreams.

It's even got a great chapter on what certain celebrities mean in your dreams.

This is a fun book, makes a lot of sense and the dream dictionary in the back is very helpful.

5 out of 5 stars I Know What You Did Last Summer.......2006-12-11

I give "I Know What You Did Last Summer" 5 stars because of the good detail, suspense, and story line. Lois Duncan does an exellent job at explaining the difficulties and fears that Julie, Helen, Barry, and Ray faced after some one found out that it was them who hit a kid on a mountian road the summer before. She also does a wounderful job of adding supspense as the teens hurry to find out who knows before they all get hurt.

5 out of 5 stars Richards Reiview.......2006-10-25

To start this off I Would like to say that i do not like to read and the only reason that I am writing this is that my teacher made me do a book report on it for an assignment. The story all starts off in the morning when Julie comes down from her room to eat breakfast and her mother tells her that she has a letter from a collage on the talble. She opens it to find out that she was accepted by the collage and will be going there after the summer is over. When she is done she goes up to her room and her mother tells her that she left a letter on the table. When she went down to get it she found that it was blank and had no return adress on it. When she opened the letter she found that it only contained one sentance in bold writing " I know what you did last summer." Then Julie gets togather with her friends: Ray Bronson, Barry Cox, and Helen Rivers. They tried to think of soomeone who would send Julie a letter like this. Then while Helen was out by the pool in her apartment she met a guy named Collingsworth Wilson (Collie). They talked for awhile and then she went up to her aparatment because she did not want to get burned by the sun. When she got to the door of her room there was a picture on it. It was a picture of a little boy on a bike. Then later the day Ray recived a newspaper clipping in the mail with no return adress like Julie's. Inside the envelope was a newspaper clipping. It was the Death Report on a boy named David Gregg, a 10 year old boy who they had killed last summer in a hit and run accident. David was riding his bike home from a friends house in the middle of the night because they had a fight and his mom would not come pick him up. Then while he was riding they came around a corner in their car and did not see in in front of the car because his bike had no lights or reflectors on it. They then hit him and sped down the road to a roadside booth to call the police to tell them what happened but did not give out thier names. Then why Barry was in his fraternity house he recived a phone call but did not know who it was from. The person on the phone told him to go out to the athletic field. There was a memorial day fireworks display going on and while everyone watched he got shot.

5 out of 5 stars Lois Duncan at her best.......2006-09-06

This book, in my opinion, is suberb. It's not in any way like the movie, besides the name, the note, and the four characters. In the movie, they hit a fisherman, meh, no biggy, he's old enough. But in the book, they hit a little boy, who had so much of his life left, that just makes the crime seem more sinister. In the movie, two of the teenagers die, and how? Basically the same as the rest of the victims in all the series, with a hook. Atleast in the book, even though no one died, they were hurt in different ways, strangled, shot, etc. Plus, the victims in the movie are almost all innocent, but in the book, the only victims are the ones who COMMITED the crime, not people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Don't get me wrong, both were excellent. But as for people who complain there's no pictures, or that there isn't a gory scene... it's a BOOK. If you want a slasher, watch the movie. So, if you want a real page turner, buy this book! Maybe even read it a year after you and your three drunken friends kill a little boy on a bicycle? Happy Reading!

5 out of 5 stars been years since I read this one.......2006-08-19

But I can say this, the book is nothing like the movie -- in fact Kevin Williamson f---ed it all up when he decided to do the screenplay. It is not even close to the events in the book. I will give Ms. Duncan this one and she created a sense of horror for a young adult when she first wrote this book.

I was fourteen years old when I read this book and for me to say a hack screenwriter ruining it does take a lot of gall to say. True a lot of younger movie viewers who weren't even a thought in the head of the parents and at the time I think my mother might even have read this book. Yes it is that old -- written in 1973. I had one with the original cover but it got lost when I moved to Iowa, I read my copy to the point where the pages were falling out of it.

Louis Duncan had created a real impact on me when I was younger to become a horror writer, she created the archtype for it. But it was H.P. Lovecraft and Richard Matheson that set the tone for what I wanted to do with it, she knows the scary whodunit type of books -- I would like to get some more of her work and I'm 30 years old now. Also a published author, but for me to remember this book as it was is telling these kids now how old I am.

Screw the movie, this is much better. Just get the book and enjoy it -- you'll thank me for it.

3 out of 5 stars And you should be ashamed.......2006-08-08

As this thriller opens high school senior Julie discovers that she has been accepted into a prestigious East Coast college, but in the same mail came cryptic message 'I know what you did last summer'. Unfortunately Julie knows all to well what the message refers to. Last summer Julie, her boyfriend and another couple had been in a hit and run accident, an accident that had killed a little boy. The four teens had decided not to come forward and take responsibility for the accident. It was a decision that they had all come to regret but one that they felt they could not change now. But now it seemed that someone else knew their secret.

This novel is geared for the 'young adult' market and speaks to themes that teens would be able to relate to - young love, impulsive acts, class consciousness, parental conflict and peer pressure. The plot is more than a bit transparent, most will guess who the mysterious note writer is fairly early on, the characterizations are equally obvious but the action keeps the novel moving and, particularly for the target audience, is an interesting read.

3 out of 5 stars Flawed but Entertaining.......2005-07-18

"You Did What?" is a collection of tales of decisions that were at best foolhardy and at worst disastrous. Various authors contribute to this work, and the quality of the chapters varies as a result (there are quite a few examples of bad grammar and poor sentence structure throughout the book). Overall, the book is entertaining. Different subjects of varied historical significance are covered, from the Trojan Horse debacle and President Harrison's refusal to wear a coat at his frigid inaugural, to the "Heidi Bowl" and the bad career decisions of several TV actors. This is a quirky book that's rather light on any deep historical information or insight, and the mistakes in writing can be disconcerting. Overall, though, it's worth checking out for some lighthearted reading.

3 out of 5 stars Entertaining, but at least one glaring mistake.......2005-01-29

On page 219, Thomsen writes that Ronald Reagan divorced Jane Wyman, "everyone's favorite mother from 'Father Knows Best'."

Maybe he meant Jane Wyatt, who WAS the mother on 'Father Knows Best' or maybe he misplaced Jane Wyman, who was certainly no one's favorite mother on 'Falcon Crest'. The similarity of these actresses ends with the similarity of their names. Their appearance and acting would not be confused by even a casual inspection. This is an error which could easily have been avoided with only the slightest effort at research, which was evidently not done.

I found the book quite entertaining and enlightening until I got to that page. A simple, avoidable error like that one makes me question the credibility of the rest of the book.

3 out of 5 stars About MacLean Stevenson.......2004-11-21

The book makes a mistake about Mr. Stevenson (Blake on MASH). The book says MS left MASH and in no time was on hello Larry. Excuse me! Hello Larry began about four years after MS left MASH.

5 out of 5 stars Very good light reading for the amateur historian.......2004-10-07

Personally, I enjoyed the book. There was much I learned from this book. I knew very little of the Galveston Hurricane. I did not realize that "New Coke" is still made in certain parts of the country. I never realized that Napoleon's big mistake at Waterloo was in having the wrong adjutant in charge. Or how the Kaiser's hatred for his mother helped in causing World War 1. This and many more interesting tidbits are top be found in this book. The only problem with this book is that most of the entries are fairly modern.

3 out of 5 stars By turns maddening and fascinating.......2004-09-23

Reading this terribly uneven book was the most irritating experience I've had in a long time. Its title seemed to indicate a tongue-in-cheek approach to history's gaffes and goofs, in the vein of "The Darwin Awards". Instead, the reader was often treated to rather ordinary recititations of history. The tale of Watergate was told in a straightforward style without entertainment value. The barbarian invasions of the Roman Empire were a dull, unfunny and undetailed summary (in only 7 pages !) of 400 years of Roman history. Other stories held my interest better, not due to the writing but because of the unfamiliar subject matter. The story of Ferdinand de Lesseps' first attempt to build the Panama Canal was an example. But even this tale, which tried to poke fun at de Lesseps' folly, just wasn't funny.

The book, subtitled "Mad Plans and Great Historical Disasters," is less about the folly of human beings than about the unexpected (but not mad) turns that human activities take. Who knew ahead of time that aspirin would have value while heroin would become a social scourge?

I'll say this for the book: as annoying as it was, I kept coming back to it until I finished it. That's worth 3 stars.

There is little insight in this book that people don't instinctively understand and either act or do not act on. The primary message of the book is to communicate problems with other people in a diplomatic way and realize that you may be the problem too. If you understand this you do not need to buy the book.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Have - Must Read Book.......2002-08-24

Here is my bias - this is a must have book for anyone in the coaching, management consulting, facilitation or training business. In fact it is a must read for everyone. The authors follow a sensible and clear route that would be a benefit to any reader. It is small, easy to read and powerful. The vignettes display excellent examples and the exercises at the end of each short chapter are practical. The italics of fantasy and fact regarding "feedback" makes for an even faster read. You can browse through it quickly to find the passages where you wish to focus.

The book is short and sweet enough but you can find it completely summarized in three pages in the Epilogue. If it sounds as if there isn't much meat to this book, think again. It is deceptively challenging but not daunting. It makes a great reference book that I like to come back to time and time again.

5 out of 5 stars Practical Psychology in One Lesson: "What Did You Say...".......2001-08-30

If I had the power to transport one book back in time and send it to myself, this would be the one. This is the book I needed when I became a people manager. It's also the book I needed when I began to raise my kids. In fact, I can't think of a time in my life when I did not wish I had more of the skills this book teaches. A simple but very deep book that causes a new level of understanding about how to talk to people with each reading. The authors draw on the best ideas from the great psychologists and show how to use them practically in everyday interactions. The short volume is easy to read and full of examples that can be immediately applied. In my humble opinion, this book is indespensible when managing people at work and managing close relationships at home. The conversational and entertaining style is a plus.

4 out of 5 stars Fun!.......2007-02-23

This book was perfect for my 9 yo daughter. She has NLD and is often confused by language, facial expression, or hidden meanings. We had a lot of fun guessing the answers (she got them wrong every time!) and then reading the correct meaning. Within an hour she had picked a lyric out of a song and understood it for the first time ("coming out of my shell"). We are thrilled with this book!

3 out of 5 stars Great idea -- but there are problems.......2005-10-15

This book helps a child with Aspergers unravel the mysteries of colloquial meatphors -- that is the great idea. However, it was written in the United Kingdom, which means that sometimes the explanations are confusing also (what is a queue, Mom???)-- that takes away from its effectiveness and makes for frustration. There are also a couple of publishing goofs -- wrong explanation on the page -- no excuse for that. I actually whited them out and moved the words over. Like I said -- great idea -- upbeat and useful -- but it should be noted that it is not US English.

5 out of 5 stars This is the Book to Put NT Translators Out of Business.......2004-12-23

For people with autism/Asperger's, this book is the book to have in understanding colloquialisms, idioms and metaphors. Instead of relying on neurotypical (NT) counterparts to interpret and translate these phrases, just keep this book handy. It's the ideal tool to have when learning the language of the NT world.

5 out of 5 stars Very Amusing Light Reading.......2002-09-24

Don't expect deep philosophy or great revelations, but if you're a Bostonian you owe it to yourself to read this book. Many amusing stories and triva about Boston. Walt Kelly (no, not the Pogo dude) is a good storyteller, and has obviously done a lot of research.

4 out of 5 stars Very cute littel book.......2001-01-10

It is perfect and very entertainig book about Boston, written by a cab driver, very intelligently and informed. It has a long list of referenced books indicating the amount of effort and study put into it.It is very interesting, like the reader from Germany, I also started and I could not put the book aside until I finished it. It makes your mind twist when you start to know about things that you see everday or you walk by it. I never knew what the word "smoot" on Harvard Bridge was about although I step on it every day. From the old Sahwmut Bank logo I always thought that Shawmut was an Indian tribe. I thought blackstone river or vally was called blackstone may be because the stones were black and many other similiar associations. What about Quaker Lane in downtown. Well I am not going to tell you what is in the book, you need to read it but it is full of suprizes, at least for me it was. Now like they say when you meet someone after you had a telephone conversation, "I can put a face to it". Since I read the book it is "Frogg Lane" for me not Bolyston Street. It is just great, I conragulate Mr. Kelley. very nice book especially for people who are new to Boston and needs to catch up with its history to own the heritage. I read other books like Architectutral histories, topograpies etc. this one is juicy.

4 out of 5 stars Not just for Bostonians.......2000-06-06

What They Never Told You About Boston... is a fantastic book filled with all kinds of tidbits about Boston's history. Names of streets are explained, significance of buildings, even words and phrases that had their origins in Boston! Misunderstandings are cleared up; for example the first white settler in Boston was not a Puritan but rather the Reverend William Blaxton, an Anglican minister, and Shawmut is not the name of an Indian tribe but more or less means 'the place to find boats.'

This is an enlightening read for those interested in Boston and her history, well-written and for the most part, extremely well-researched. (There are so many people and institutions who claim the first computer that I doubt MIT or Harvard can truly state that that honor is theirs.) I only wish that it was longer -- I zipped through the 101 pages pretty quickly! I enjoyed the book so much that I brought it to Germany with me, and use it in my teaching about English and America!

2 out of 5 stars Frustrated and Saddened by the Attitude of This "Christian" Book.......2007-09-03

First an admission: I have not read the entire book, only a few excerpts. However, the sections I have read seem very typical of Renfroe. This book provides far too much fodder for anyone who considers evangelical women shopaholic airheads who have little concern for the world that Jesus wept over but instead need to get their shopping fixes and focus on decor, makeup, etc. Renfroe IS an entertaining writer--hence two stars and not just one--but the shallowness she seems to espouse is totally counter to a servant life style focused on Christ. Yes, she slips little messages into some sections, but she never challenges--and instead seems to glorify--the woman who spends frivolously just for the fun of it. From the first pages when she jokingly chides the woman who only has one purse or doesn't rearrange her furniture often, it is clear that she is not interested in any kind of serious thinking about how our behavior affects the world God has placed us in.

No, we are not called to a joyless existence as Christians, but to totally ignore the impact of such a consumerist mentality on the world around us is irresponsible and seems alien to our Savior's love and care for all around him. Please don't waste your money on this or similar books.

5 out of 5 stars More than a belly laugh!!!!.......2006-07-26

If you have ever seen Anita Renfroe live (I have 3 times now) then you know what you are in for with the Purse-Driven Christmas: So, What Did You Get Me? You are guaranteed to meet your daily "belly laugh quota" with this light, fun and oh sooo girlie book. I laughed all the way through. I loved it and all of my "slightly off kilter" girlfriends do to, so preheat the "easy bake oven" grab yourself a "Venti Mocha" and an oversized stuffed chair and lose yourself in some real "sistah" fun! Perfect gift idea!!! A Huge Renfroe fan In Fort Collins, CO
