TOP-KNOTCH WEREWOLF YARN..........2007-08-25

I like werewolf stories, but when I first heard about this book, I thought that the plot sounded pretty far-fetched. Michael Gallatin is a sexy, handsome, debonair, and highly intelligent British spy, battling the Nazis. He is also a werewolf. Hmm, I thought, it just won't work. Well, I was wrong. This is a page turning, attention grabbing book that will simply not let the reader go, so engrossing and well-written a story does the author weave.

The author essentially tells two stories. One is the story of how Michael Gallatin became a werewolf and the man that would dare take on the Nazis. It is a powerful and sensitive telling of his formative years in Russia, weaving a mystical, magical tale. It is also a rip-roaring thriller of how Michael tangles with the Nazis to try and discover their super secret plot to destroy the Allies on D-day. Action packed and full of twists and turns, it is a hell of an adventure!

This is simply a superlative, well-written and suspenseful book that will take the reader by surprise. I simply could not put this book down! Bravo!

Sounded like a corny plot, but I'm glad I read it, it was actually good!.......2006-11-24

I almost didn't read this book because, though I like the author, the plot just sounded too ridiculous. I mean, werewolf supersoldier and Nazis? Come on!

But I do like the author and it got pretty good reviews, so I read it, and I'm glad I did. I thought it started off pretty slow, personally. I'm not sure if the writing wasn't as good at the beginning (as others have said) or if I was just prejudiced by thinking it was a silly plot. But I do like werewolf books, and this is the best one I've read -- not really for the Nazi plot, but the whole 'becoming a werewolf' I thought was interesting. And I really got caught up in the battle with the beast, when it happened, I thought it was a pretty well written fight scene.

The Nazi timeline had sort of a different feel, and someone else summed it up nicely. It's a lot of James Bond meets Indiana Jones sort of action, and once it picked up, was retty pleasant in a campy adventurous sort of way. Not that 'campy' is the right word, but that's the closest I can get right now.

In summary, I'm glad I read it. If you like werewolves, definitely check it out. Give it at least 100 pages to get into it, until he actually lands in France in the Nazi storyline, and meets the werewolves in the other one.

The werewolf story has never really intrigued me because of the fact the wolf is always portrayed as a hero instead of a villian. This story by Mcammon follows the same formula. The Werewolf in this story is a secret agent trying to stop a secret plot by the germans on D-day. Mccammon is still the best at putting his heros into "REAL" danger but his cliff-hanger style of writing got in the way of the story. He basically split the novel in two parts, one about the current secret agent story and the other about the werewolf's childhood. At the climax of one story he would switch to the other. This worked better in his novel MINE than in this book.

The Wolf's Hour - McCammon does it again........2006-03-29

Robert McCammon does it again with The Wolf's Hour. Proving himself to be one of North America's leading writers again and again. The Wolf's Hour defies genres - its in a class all of its own. Michael Gallatin aka Mikhail Gallantinov a gutsy Russian werewolf who has taken up residence in London England. He is a british spy who just happens to have an edge over the enemy. a great werewolf story and a great war story. This one will satisfy every need. Don't miss it.

Interesting Mix of Ideas.......2005-09-04

Robert McCammon is an extremely talented writer who I usually enjoy. In the case of The Wolf's Hour, he has taken the drama of war and added a werewolf as a spy. Does it work? Yes and no. The werewolf is a man named Michael Gallatin, and he has the ability to change into a werewolf at will. So don't expect a horror novel in any way, shape, or form. McCammon has mixed war with a horror element, but I don't know if it was necessary. I almost saw this as two novels: the back story of how Michael became a wolf, and a story about a spy in World War II. As a spy Michael doesn't turn into a wolf very often, and it is for this reason I'm not sure there needs to be a werewolf in this novel. A simple war story would have worked fine. However, I loved the back story of how he became a wolf. I could see it being a separate novel.

Do I recommend this book? Yes, because I liked both the war story and wolf story, but I caution against expecting a creepy book to read late at night.

nuns and heroes.......2000-06-14

laure-anne bosselaar is one of the most gifted and moving poets of the past twenty years. seeing her read at Stockton College in December of 1999, I was moved to tears during more than one of her poems. "My Little Sisters of Love and Misery," for example, evokes a beauty and pain that is both striking and poignant for it's attention to detail and lack of self-pity. She speaks for the women who cannot speak for themselves, to the people in her life that she must forgive to survive, and to the world, she gives her unique view of love and laughter. her brilliance lies in the important fact that she never feels the need to sacrifice her sense of humor to get at the tragedy of life, because she realizes they are often one and the same.

when i met ms. bosselaar, she pinched my cheek and called me "dear poetry sister." it spoke volumes about the kind of person and writer that she is. here's hoping she continues to bless us with her unique gift.

dramatic and compassionate.......1999-07-18

These compelling narratives span post WWII Europe to contemporary USA -- the speaker, raised in a convent in Europe traces her life in the cruel environment of the convent to her married life here in this country. The poems are of daily life -- its joys and horrors. They are generous poems, long and meandering. They are accessible, always. Funny, sweet, scary and sumptuous.

compelling narratives that speed down the page........1999-03-20

Bosselaar's collection is electric. These narratives, often harrowing, speak the stories of many characters. The geographic and emotional terrain of this book is panoramic. This is a book of narratives that speed down the page and take the reader on one hell of a ride.

An excellent treasuring of the world as it is........1997-06-09

"[N]o girls, no jokes, no wine// Is that what art demands?/ ... I can't endure such sullen habits, I want distraction,/ need my gaze to waver, wild as moths on my window: ... Let me be fickle as the Mistral, lazy as Provencal lizards;/ give me the nuances of tenderness,// longing's appetites, the pagan buzz of sex--and may my art/ be mortal ... a daily brush with grace." If the moral of mortality is treasuring the world, then moral intelligence is steeped in its particulars. Laure-Anne Bosselaar's poems make the case as art, or if you prefer, meditation--pagan Ignatian, procreative, or in its most inclusive, practical, caregiving sense, charitable. In modeled stanzas she recaptures good-burgher Nazi sympathizers, spent vegetable gardens, snowstorms, a fatally overinspired poem, her husband's morning Rorschach shock of graying hair, convent school underwear, her mother's Gauloises Bleues dipped in Chanel No. 5, and other coups de grace. The last poem celebrates Thanksgiving, an immigrants' feast, a fitting reminder that the book's language--in one of the author's adopted languages--is comfortably, confidently expressive. It's a good cook's English that savors the telling as well as the tale

It fills in the gaps.......2005-10-05

I bought this book from Universal Orlando a few months back, as I found it hard to get otherwise. I actually really enjoyed it. However, compared to other novels, like the "John Connor Chronicles", this one doesn't have as much fast paced action. Instead, it concentrates on the more scientific side of things, explaining the development of the time travel (Had to undertsnd if you don't have a degree in physics, but interesting nonetheless). We also learn a bit more about Cyberdyne's way of doing things.
The author tells us about John and Sarah's new identities and lives, there are a few good terminators thrown into the mix and also an unaware innocent victim who doesn't quite know what is going on....It makes a good read, especially for the Terminator fan, so I recommend this largely to that market. It's a good book (although a bit on the short side, only 250 pages or so)but it helps to know the terminator storyline and the characters, otherwise it might get a bit confusing. Overall, can't complain, I give it 4 out of 5.

Though famed in his time for his playboy image, all purple scarves and modish hairdo, former South Vietnamese prime minister Ky proved over time to have been a man of substance. In this revealing autobiography Ky recounts his rise to and fall from power and the errors great and small that led to his nation's defeat. "Corruption," Ky writes, "permeated every corner of the Vietnamese social order." Ky used his office to root out corruption and carve an independent path, often clashing with the likes of William Westmoreland and Nguyen Van Thieu in the bargain. Proudly relating those struggles, Ky also defends figures whom history has treated harshly, including Lyndon Johnson and General Nguyen Ngoc Loan, "the rarest of Vietnamese birds, the honest cop," who will forever be remembered for executing a Vietcong suspect before Eddie Adams's camera. "My biggest mistake was allowing the wrong man the opportunity to lead a guaranty of defeat. For this I beg forgiveness of those who fled into exile, of those who remained, and from those then unborn." So Ky closes this memoir, a work of considerable interest to students of and participants in Vietnam's long war. --Gregory McNamee

Book Description

Even after 25 years in America, former South Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Cao Ky is regarded as a national hero by three million fellow expatriots. He travels widely in the US and abroad, and is recognized and applauded by former US servicemen, to whom he remains a charismatic and admirable figure.

Buddha's Child will flood the shadowy corners of South Vietnam's Byzantine political world with the bright light of truth. Ky will describe the Americans and their activities from the perspective of the Vietnamese patriot.

Condemned by US Defense Secretary Robert McNamara as "the absolute bottom of the barrel," Ky was not expected to survive a week in the office into which he was thrust. Instead, he lasted three years, until he wrote himself out of office by penning the country's first constitution.

faulty memory = faulty biography.......2006-05-09

After reading his book, it occurred to me that perhaps Nguyen Cao Ky has faulty memory of many events that happen during his tenure as the Prime Minister of South Vietnam such as the Buddhist Rebellion in Central Vietnam in 1965. In this book, Ky claimed that he formulated the plan to put down the Buddhist rebellion in Central Vietnam in 1965, this is incorrect. In 1965, there were two different Buddhist group vying for power in South Vietnam. One was the An Quang branch headed by the militant Thich Tri Quang, the other is the non-violent Vietnam Quoc Tu branch headed by Thich Tam Chau. The An Quang branch was the violent, "militant" branch who wanted to create a government headed by monks, many of the monks in the An Quang group armed themselves with sub machineguns, they block the roads using Buddha statues and they were able to entice thousands of soldiers from the 1st ARVN Division to desert and joined their cause. Libraries were sack by the militant Buddhists, books were burned and people of different religious faith were beaten. It was at this time that Cao Van Vien the Chairman of the ARVN Joint Chief of Staff formulated a plan of using the Vietnamese Marines to quell the unrest, Vien pretended to withdraw the Marines from their area of operation in Binh Dinh to Saigon then on the day of the withdraw, other Marines battalions were airlifted to the Quang Ngai airfield under the command of General Ngo Quang Truong and Truong was able to use the Vietnamese Marines to subdued the rebellion. Aalthough Ky did not play an important role in this event, Ky claimed that it was he who formulated the plan to put down the rebellion.

There were a few important events that some how was missing in Ky's book. On the last few days of April 1975, with the NVA closing in on Saigon, Ky made an appearance at Ho Nai, standing in front of thousands of people Ky encouraged people to "fight on to the last men" and that Ky will stand by them to the end. Hours after his speech, Ky flew out to the American carrier abandoning the very people he has asked to fight to the death. Recently Ky went back to Vietnam to work for the Socialist Republic of Vietnam government. In one of the recent interview to Viet Weekly, Ky was asked about the current rampant corruption in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, especially the PMU18 scandal where government officials who made only $200 U.S dollars a month bet on horses to the tune of $2 million U.S dollars each month for the last 10 years. Ky said that such corrupt government officials should not be prosecuted and should be allow to keep all the money they have stolen from the people as long as these officials would not take bribes again. Ky comment tells you all you need to know about him as a former Prime Minister of South Vietnam and as a person.

A Strange Conclusion.......2005-03-04

This book is supposedly the autobiography of the author's experience in the Vietnam War. But it has a rather bizzare conclusion: the author alleged that China is now a threat to world peace and may well bring the world to another World War!!
The author then proposed that surrounding asian countries ally themselves to the West( ie. USA ) to encircle and contain China.

This anti-China rheotric is totally irrational and paranoid. I hope that the author will further explain his weird theory in future editions of this book.

Nguyen Cao Ky - a pawn or a man of destiny?.......2004-11-09

In all honesty, I have learned some historical facts that I had not known before reading the book. Before I delve into the content the book, let me say that the book is well written. I enjoyed the audiobook, however, the producer of the audiotape should have consulted with a Vietnamese before attempting the Vietnamese proper names. The reader butchered the names horribly! It is ashamed that such an undertaking of almost 12 hours of taping did not go through this quality check. The publisher must have known that there are more than non-Americans who seek to learn about Mr. Ky and the Vietnam war. I could barely make out the names of the generals and the politicians involved. The names of geographical areas of Vietnam were horrendously mispronounced. It is unfair for me, in spite of the political 'dryness', has some humors and at times quite entertaining.

My. Ky is as boastful as he's ever been. There are endless mea culpas and monday-morning-quarterbackings throughout the book. But one cannot come to any other conclusion that with the leadership of Mr. Ky and his cohorts helped to lose the war in Vietnam.
He painted a picture of mass corruptions, shameless abuses of power, government properties, US aids, etc.. From president Ngo Dinh Diem to Nguyen Van Thieu, with questionable goals and intent, together brought south Vietnam to its deserved fall.

Mr. Ky failed to recognize that what he did during his youthful days was reckless and in a different setting such as the U.S, he would have been indicted on many charges. He was accused of derelict of duties by allowing his pilots to smuggle contrabands into VN not to mention allegations of drug smuggling. He used and abused government properties recklessly to woo girls by hovering aircraft on top of civilian neighborhood. He treated government asset as his own. He claimed that he did not take money from the people but he enjoyed his good life in many other ways. All of this would have been intolerable in western countries.

He conveniently left out the comment on how Hitler is his only hero (while he was in London , 1965). I believe that Mr. Ky did not corrupt the way many other generals did such as Gen. Dang Van Quang and Pres. Nguyen Van Thieu etc.. All in all, he was so wishful to think that he could have done any thing different better to 'save' Vietnam, it's almost laughable!

To his credit, I think Mr. Ky is a man of character, flawed as it is, few would have accomplished what he did during the war. He is an honest man!

Footnote: as critical as I am about this book, I did enjoy reading and did learn something from it. I have also obtained an autograph of the author.

Important historical book.......2003-01-05

How could it be anything else being written by one of the players. I think Cao Ky Nguyen confirmed many truths and it was important for that to come from a South Vietnamese leader. All that you need to do is keep in mind that he is trying to portray himself in a more favorable light than he deserves as he was just as politically immature as the rest of the inept leaders he comments on.

The American lessons from Vietnam in essence are the old sayings that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink, and that if you want something done right do it yourself. When you put Nguyen's rationalizations in a more accurate perspective, he makes this clear.

Opportunity LostýSeizing Defeat From the Jaws of Victory.......2002-10-20

This was, in many ways, a painful book to read. I was in elementary school at a school for missionary children in northern Japan when I read in my Weekly Reader that Nguyen Cao Ky had become the new prime minister of South Vietnam. I remember the news gave me a sense of hopefulness about the war, which we were kept informed of by the Far East Network (armed forces radio) and the Voice of America. I can also remember my feeling of confusion when I read that Theiu had replaced Ky as Vietnam's leader.

Without belaboring the point, I have long been frustrated by the American handling of the war, which, I believe developed out of our abdication in Korea. I don't want to spend time talking about that, because it is a tired and painful subject. Suffice it to say that this book confirmed my feelings, but added some new insight.

For example, this book adds some insight into the resentment that many Vietnamese nationals felt toward the French, whose colonialism was largely exploitive, and financed by the Americans in amounts that Everett Dirksen would call "Real Money." In addition to that, I did not know, until I read this book, that Westmoreland was fully informed of the North Vietnamese intention to stage a major invasion during Tet, but decided to keep this from the South Vietnamese army! This appalling mismanagement of the crisis produced a disastrous and completely unnecessary problem for the Cao Ky, but it was a challenge that the South Vietnamese met and overcame. While Tet had a demoralizing effect on the American public, it was actually a victory for South Vietnam, and a major defeat for the North Vietnamese.

The book also addresses some more familiar themes, such as the legendary ineptitude of McNamara, but the most poignant event in this book is Nguyen Cao Ky's impulsive decision to abdicate leadership in favor of Thieu. Nobody (including Nguyen Cao Ky himself) knows why he did this. Perhaps it really was a selfless act of a patriot who had no interest in promoting himself, and was just trying to do what was best for his country. Or, perhaps, he had become bored with the monotony of leadership, and decided to abandon his responsibility, just as he discarded his wives, one after another, when he got tired of them.

To his credit, Nguyen Cao Ky takes full responsibility for his fateful decision. And it would not be fair to say that he abandoned his country completely, because he was always ready to serve, and to lead when the chips were down. In that sense, we must give credit where credit is due, and call him a patriot. But this is small comfort for the painful realization that the war effort was doomed by his decision, although I am still not sure if I believe that it was more significant than the moral exhaustion of the American culture, which rendered the Americans all but impotent to save Vietnam.

Read this book. Nguyen Cao Ky is a very good storyteller, and a man of adventure who liked to live on the edge. You will almost certainly come away better informed about the first war the Americans lost. It is a sad story, but one which can have a certain measure of redeeming value if we are able to learn from our mistakes, and adapt to the very different place that east Asia has become.

The Playboy Prince
When it came to women, Prince Bennett could never refuse a challenge -- and after meeting quiet, lovely Lady Hannah Rothchild, the dashing playboy couldn't rest until he broke through her careful reserve. Love had always been a game to Bennett, but with this elusive, mysterious woman he found his heart was on the line, and he was playing for keeps . . .

Cordina's Crown Jewel
For a few blessed weeks, Her Royal Highness Camilla de Cordina could be just plain Camilla MacGee. And working in rural Vermont for archaeologist Delaney Caine -- devastatingly handsome, utterly cantankerous -- offered the perfect refuge. But as her irritation became fascination, then desire, the royal runaway knew she'd have to confess. Would Del see her as a woman to be loved, or dismiss her as a royal pain?

Customer Reviews:

Royal Kingdom of Dreams.......2007-08-14

To me, Cordina's Royal Family is the best of Nora Robert's series. I have read other of her series, but none have the magic that I found in the Royal Cordina Family. I loved each character: Bennett, Camilla, Alex, Eve, Gabriella, Hannah and Reeves. Somehow this series stirs the fairy tale mystery that exists in all of us. I really wish Ms. Roberts would continue with the Cordina family series. As a talented and skillful author, she should be able to find a way! What about Bennet and Hannah"s wedding? To me, that would be wonderful to read! I want more of that wonderful family!

hopless romantics will love it........2006-08-16

If you are a hopeless romantic, like stories about princes and princesses and love a classic ending. Then you will enjoy this book. I really like the fact that Hannah was a heroine but Bennett also took some credit. Very entertaining.

Where's the Juice?.......2006-08-06

Based on the recent recommendation by a Stephen King article in Entertainment Weekly, I purchased this book expecting to read some really good romance writing. The writing lack depth, dimension, and offered zero emotional skill, and after struggling through the first 100 pages, I threw the book away. So much for Stephen King's opinion - although he's written so really good things, he's also put out a lot of mediorce work too. If you want some juicy romance as well as good storytelling, read Susan Carroll's "The Dark Queen", The Courtesan" and "The Silver Rose"
Trilogy. Once I read these I went back and purchased Carroll's earlier works, all with underserved tacky covers I might add, but the writing is fun and her heroes are "broad shouldered with powerful thighs and sensuous mouths" etc. Diane Galbaldon (could be incorrect spelling) writes well with very interesting characters and story lines but too sexually violent for my taste.

Not her best novel, probably, but I still couldn't put the book down..........2006-07-17

I read all four stories over four days and I will agree that these are not her best, but still I laugh and I cried and I gasped out loud and was generally entertained. From the moment I started reading I could not put the book down and I found myself transported to royal Cordina were a family loves one another and finds love and passion while fighting terriorists. Still liked it a lot.

Two Stars-Spoilers follow.......2006-06-24

After being disappointed in reading Gabriella & Alexander, I still tried Bennett & Camilla and was still disappointed. Once again there was a lot of things happen but it felt like they were trying to destract you from the charactors. I didn't like Bennett at all. Starting with his name and it went down from there. His treatment of Hannah after learning her true idenity comented my hate. I wished Hannah would have stabbed him with a knife. I did however enjoy Hannah thoroughly all of her working with the terrorities in order to bring them down was very exciting. It would have been fun to see series on Hannah's work. Now on to Camilla. Camilla was not a very exciting charactor she was very dull. Her beau Delaney was all right until he got all hung up on her lying about being a princess when he was lying about his own title. Its calling the kettle black and makes me lose all respect and like for the charactor.
