Q: Title: Clearly not my genre Review: I got this book used on audiotape - my first Koontz -- and can listen to almost anything while I am pushing paperwork around the office. My standards are pretty low. I made it through the syrupy opening with the super-clever dog. I didn't mind the pitiable female character who was afraid of her own shadow. But when the serial killer shot a sleeping boy in the head and shuttered with an orgasmic joy, I clicked the tape off and tossed the whole boxed set into the trash. In a world like this, the last thing we need are more inexplicably evil fictional child killers. When I noticed that 500 Koontz fans had rated this novel as top-notch, I got a stomach ache.

Q: Title: Cutting and Pasting Review: This is a great activity book for children ages 3 and above. My three year old son absolutely loved it. He asked for it everyday until it was completed. I loved that all I had to do was cut out the page he was to work on and watch him as he enjoyed his independent cutting and pasting activity.The activities and paper quality are great: 5 stars.

Q: Title: A well-organized jumping-off point. Fulfills its promise. Review: The emphasis is on what the author knows, Biblical scholarship. The "Old Testament" is examined meticulously, and the author points to the issues that archaeologists have with it. If anything strikes you as dubious, or interesting, you have the pointer to what to research.Those savaging this book because the author is not an archaeologist need to face squarely the fact that the Judaeo-Christian history they believe in comes not at all from a consensus of archaeologists, but entirely from Biblical scholars like this author.All three of the great faiths of the MidEast seem to have become openly hostile to science, history, and archaeology if it impinges on their chauvinism. Quite the irony, considering how Catholics (Roman and Orthodox), Jews and Moslems preserved the humanistic heritage that works like this are in the tradition of, through the Dark Ages. Is the review positive or negative?
