Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Entertainment
by: Hunter S. Thompson

May 12, 1998
How can a book be hilarious and drab at the same time? Well, imagine this situation: you've arrived at a huge party with your friends. You're really pumped, you're telling jokes, and everyone is laughing, and your friends are enjoying your company, and everyone is having a good time. But then, a few hours later, your adrenaline runs out, and you've already told your best jokes. Now, you have to force yourself to have fun -- you're talking much louder than you should, trying to affect a witty tone for some laboured one-liners. Nobody wants to leave the party, because they came to have a good time, but everyone is already kind of tired and mildly irritated. At the end, you feel like you shouldn't have bothered.

That's exactly this ... Read More:

Teaching Little Fingers to Play: A Book for the Earliest Beginner (John Thompsons Modern Course for The Piano)

My 4 yr. old daughter is enrolled in a Yamaha music school class for 4-5 yr. olds. I bought this book to give us some supplementary songs to practice. The songs in this book are extremely musical and enjoyable; I would have given the book 5 stars except for the use of the superlative "earliest" in the title, as the pace and level of the book is much faster and higher than what she gets from the music school (which I believe is generally what Yamaha has discovered over many years is readily doable for the youngest beginners). This book is actually nice for an adult beginner.

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Entertainment
by: Steve Lopez

September 30, 2008
Steve Lopez has written a moving story about Nathaniel, a homeless man, once a student at Julliard School of music. Mental illness has over taken his life and robbed him of what could have been another famous performer of classical music.
Through Steve's articles in the LA Times, he opens a world to a stranger that he met on a street corner, living on Skid Row, and whose world revolves around nothing but music. Music takes Nathaniel into a mind of his own world that no one seems to understand.

Many times Steve wants to give up ... Read More:

This was my first "Amazon Experience". Like most potential Amazon users, I was a "nervous Nellie", however, I was pleasantly surprised by the efficient service and the quality of the goods I received. I feel confident to continue using Amazon, whenever the need arises.

This book is absolutely hilarious, written from a dog's point of view and is so accurate. This is a must read for dog owners or anyone who loves dogs. I laughed and nodded my head in agreement throughout the entire book. A pure delight and very light-hearted read.

The Clash

"Huge book of photos and memorabilia" 4 stars
"Who is The Clash?" That was my first thought when picking up this book. They are a bit before my time, yet this book is still interesting.
There are plenty of posed photos. Better yet, there are many candid photos. Some show them in concert. Some show them behind the scenes. Most of all, it has each of their takes on certain points in their fame. If you are a Clash junky, put this on your Christmas list.

LittleBigPlanet Signature Series Guide

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Entertainment
by: BradyGames

October 14, 2008
This game is exceptional. There has never been anything like it in the past, and I'm not sure there ever will be in the future. The entire premise of the game is to exercise your creativity by building levels with the incredibly powerful in-game level editor. The editor is so powerful in fact, that the 50 or so diverse and unique levels that are packed in with the game can be created with the in-game level editor, and serve as inspiration to your own creations.

After you make a level which you deem worthy enough to show off to the world, you can upload the level to the internet, and others can play it in a YouTube style sharing system where you can rate, comment, and "heart" levels that you play.

Overall great game with virtually unlimited ... Read More:
