3.5 stars -- continued slippage but good news for DVD fans
By Larry VanDeSande
I've owned the Penguin Guide continuously since 1984 and the 2008 version is about the tenth edition I've purchased. I've seen this guide go from having no competition to having some competition to being a model to be copied by the likes of the All Music Guide, Rough Guide to Classical Music, Third Ear Classical Music and the annual compendium of reviews Gramophone magazine puts together and markets under the moniker Gramophone Classical Music Guide 2008 (AKA Classical Good CD, DVD, & Download Guide)

In all this time, no other guide has continuously challenged the Penguin Guide's leadership in relating what's new and different in the universe of recorded classical music. Third Ear came closest but published only one edition in 2000. Today, the Penguin Guide is still the best at what it does but, based on my review of the 2008 edition, it is changing its ways and is slipping a bit behind the classical music industry.

I say it is slipping because the 2008 edition is hardly representative of the greatest recordings that have been issued since the last edition was published in 2005. Two significant historical events occurred in 2006 -- the Shostakovich centenary and the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth. Both birthdays generated scores of new recordings, probably more for Shostakovich than in any single year ever before. They covered one of these celebrations pretty well in their pages but didn't do so well in the other.

The new Penguin Guide did best representing the reams of new Shostakovich recordings that came out that year. The 2008 tome includes discussion on the super audio cycle of symphonies from Kitaenko on Capriccio, the excellent DVD "Shostakovich vs. Stalin: The War Symphonies", and lists as its No. 1 version of the "Leningrad" symphony the super audio version by Hofman and the Beethoven Orchestra of Bonn on MGD. This even though it did not include a single listing of the series of Shostakovich symphonies being delivered by Caetani and the Verdi Orchestra of Milan.

They didn't cover the ground on Mozart's birthday so well, however. I looked for listings of my two favorite Mozart CDs released in 2006 -- Paul McCreesh's dynamic and dramatic reading of the Great C Minor Mass on Archiv and Peter Neumann's SACD recording of the Missa Solemnis and Vesperae Solennes on MGD -- and neither were included. The Penguin Guide listed two of Neumann's older Mozart choral recordings but missed the newer super audio job that was hailed by critics worldwide. I was astonished to find only three listings of CDs of the C Minor Mass and an addiitional one on CD. Surely this masterwork deserves greater representation than the inadequate listing of performances by Karajan, Gardiner and Herreweghe!

In fact, the more I looked, the more I found great recordings issued between guides not represented. To offer a short list, here are a few:

-- No new collections of either Bach's 6 Partitas for keybard or complete recordings of Beethoven's 32 Piano Sonatas even though Seattle professor Craig Sheppard recorded both to much critical accalim during the period.

-- No listing of Jos von Immerseel's recording of Ravel's Bolero, Concerto for the Left Hand, Rhapsodie Espanol, Pavane pour unde infante defunte and La Valse that BBC Music Magazine designated its album of the year for 2006.

-- No listing of the Abbado-Berlin Philharmonic reading of the Mahler Symphony No. 6 that Gramophone called its recording of the year for 2006.

-- No listing of the Rattle-Berlin Philharmonic recording of Gustav Holst's "The Planets" and four other insterstellar pieces of music that raised some eyebrows. It wasn't the greatest recording of the music but the Penguin Guide otherwise seems to find room to include every other recording from Englishman Simon Rattle.

The fact that the Penguin Guide is now more a collection of old favorites than ever before is most aptly demonstrated in the Mahler section. In the 11 pages covering his 10 symphonies, I counted only 6 new recordings from the past edition and not one of them is really new -- they are all older recordings either seeing first light (Solit-Chicago Symphony 1 on Decca and Bernstein-Vienna Philharmonic 5 on DG) or re-recordings of older recordings (Hatink-Concertgebouw 8 on a PentaTone SACD issue). With a half-dozen Mahler cycles in progress the past few years, this seems short shrift indeed as a recommendable section.

Meanwhile, most of a decade removed from the Bach birthday in 2000, the 2008 Penguin Guide is still carrying every listing of the complete Bach cantata recordings by Harnoncourt-Leonhardt, Koopman, Suzuki and Gardiner -- twice! -- with notations for the Gardiner recordings on both Archiv and the Soli Deo Gloria series. To complete my list of what I perceive as debits in the new edition, the text is more difficult to read. The text size appears to be about the same (small) but italicized headers in much larger type (and a different text face) and boxes around what the book calls its "key" recordings more distracted than assisted me.

Some changes for 2008: The editors seem to have changed their concept a bit this time, too, by not listing every recording they talk about in text. In other words, their ongoing discussion may include recordings not listed in the headings, so keep reading to see if your favorite is there. The editors made another change -- the Penguin Guide now uses a 4-star rating system. It had always been a 3-star system until this edition. They do not address this in the text so I can't say why this happened.

I have concentrated on demerits but there are improvements in the new edition. The Penguin Guide caught a few recordings I thought might slip under its radar including a wonderful 2006 recording of Offenbach's Concerto Militaire by Pernoo and Minkowski. In addition to representative coverage of the Shostakovich year the new Penguin Guide has made a concerted effort to cover a much wider range of DVD this time, especially those for opera and sacred music. The Beethoven symphony section has nearly as many DVD as CD listings. They tend to list these in this way, always scrupulously listing the DVD director:

Wagner: Tristan und Isolde (complete; DVD version)
Wagner: Tristan und Isolde (complete: CD version)

It still has over 1,500 pages and lists most composers famous and not so famous. I think the bottom line is people that don't subscribe to critical review magazines or do not closely follow Internet review mechanisms, and look for one guide to cover the entire industry, will probably benefit by acquiring this book. Yet, perhaps the greatest demerit of this guide is that, if you don't record on a major label or on Naxos, you don't have much chance of being included in this book. For those of us that follow the industry closely, the new Penguin Guide demonstrates, more than ever before, its inability to keep up with what's going on with the hundreds of new recordings released every month.

The Guide has seen better days
By MartinP
Over the years, I have found the Penguin guide a useful reference for getting an idea of available recordings of a particular piece, and some kind of general idea of their respective merits. This latest edition, however, seems to have become too selective. Where earlier editions often seemed to list all serious contenders for a work, this one is much more limited, for instance listing no more than four recordings of Sacre du Printemps (including neither of my favourites, Chailly and MTT). For some works you may not find a listing at all (e.g., Zemlinsky's Seejungfrau). This is a pity, because this way the Penguin guide looses its main advantage over the Gramophone Good CD Guide, that has always been far more selective, and in my opinion is the more reliable source when it comes to aesthetic judgment. (E.g, the Penguin continues to list the inadequate and incomplete Kliegel as a serious recommendation for Kodaly's cello solo sonate, but doesn't bother to mention Claret or Wispelwey).

Also, recordings are listed that are no longer available (eg., the Abbado Gurrelieder).

The rating system has acquired several new features that will guarantee utter confusion. Three stars used to be the top, but now exceptional recordings can get four. But that isn't all, exceptional recordings can also still get the familiar rosette, and moreover can be qualified as a `key' recording, identified with a little key-symbol. What all this means is completely mysterious. There are four-star recordings with an without rosettes; three-star recordings with a rosette while four-star competition goes unrosetted; there are rosette-recordings that are key and others that aren't; and key recordings may be rated anything from two and a half to four stars. Strangely, too, for some works numerous key recordings are listed, which makes one wonder what makes them 'key'. It is nonsense to pretend music criticism is an exact science, and this fussy rating system is off the mark.

I wish the ample lay-out of headers and the boxes denoting key recordings had been dispensed with to allow more room for listing additional recordings.

For those wanting a general and extensive entrance point to the classical CD and DVD market, this guide will be useful nonetheless, and it has always been an interesting tome to thumb through, if only to check your own preferences against those of these self-styled musical gurus.

Flawed, but I am ADDICTED!
By R. Nadel
The Penguin Guide has changed only slightly over the years. I am sitting here looking at my first Penguin Stereo Record Guide from 1975 in hard back (small format, though). Back then I was wrapping up post-grad college, working in a large music store as Classical buyer, and the Guide was unquestionably the most respected and authoritative summary of classical music records that could be held in one hand. 1114 pages, quaintly including reviews of the Beatles' albums (influenced perhaps by Deryck Cooke?) comparing them to Stockhausen and Boulez and furthermore identifying George Martin as their Walter Legge (for the younger set, Legge was something of a genius classical/opera producer for EMI particularly after the war).

It's true the Penguin Guide is flawed, that editorial gaffs persist, like non sequitur junk DNA accumulating over the evolutionary millennia. It is true that the rating system is ambiguous and redundant on its face. It's true that a few recordings are reviewed in the body text without their names appearing in the recordings list for a particular piece. It's true that some albums listed are out of print and other, worthy titles in print do not appear anywhere. It's true that it is not comprehensive. But all those weaknesses taken together amount to little more than annoyance, unless you really expect a single volume can satisfy the range of classical music consumers from novice to devoted long hair music buffs.

It is still the most readable, fun, unputdownable single volume reference Guide. From the first, this Guide has given me a developing vocabulary in what differentiates classical music performances and recordings. It has shown me titles I would never have known about. The consistency of their approach allows me to compare my tastes to theirs, and adjust accordingly.

But something important is changing, I think.

My copy of this latest volume has over 1550 pages in large format and bears the telling subtitle "The Perfect Guide to Building Your Classical Collection". The subtitle has changed several times from no subtitle, to "The Guide to Excellence in Recorded Classical Music", to "The Key Classical Recordings on CD, DVD, & SACD", and now "The Perfect Guide to Building...". These volumes are essentially the same in content and style yet the subtitles changed. Why?

Put simply, the world around them has changed dramatically. The number of boutique labels is growing, adding to the mass of music recorded from the 50s/60s through the 90s. The number of excellent artists seems larger than ever. Sampling and rent-before-you-buy services make direct comparisons possible in a way we didn't have before the Web. Furthermore, if you are an experienced listener like me, you have thousands of vinyl and CD titles each. It is hard enough to keep track of my own music using a relational database, let alone the thousands of new recordings each year. When I first began to collect seriously, no one had listened to as much music as they had. Most of us who have been listening for years cannot now get what we want from a single volume anymore. We need the combination of single volume baseline reference, plus classical music periodicals (I get the BBC's Music magazine and they have I don't know how many reviews each month), PLUS online resources. Amidst the volume of classical music information, there is no single place I can go; I still like my single volume Penguin as a starting place for several reviews that I can assess, and then I can move out from there to other resources.

I don't know about the future, however. With Darwinian pressures exerted by the changing environment and an aging, shrinking, classical consumer population, plus new innovations from the Web, our Penguin will need to adapt and evolve in the face of the public's Natural Selection choices lest it find itself, like such birds as the moa, dodo, and passenger pigeon, on the verge of extinction.

Makes you remember why you became an engineer in the first place
By calvinnme
This is a textbook for mechanical engineering design and also a reference book for practicing mechanical engineers. It is assumed that the reader has had courses in statics, dynamics, strength of materials, and material science. In other words, it is assumed you are the equivalent of at least a junior undergraduate in mechanical engineering.

The first section of the book functions as a fast-paced review of the aforementioned prerequisites. Don't expect elementary straight numerical problems even in the introductory section. The author gets down to business immediately with example problems that involve actual mechanical devices. The example problem solutions are excellent with separate solution sections labeled "Known","Find", "Schematic and given data", "Assumptions", "Analysis", and "Comment". Each chapter has solutions to a few of the many exercises. Of particular interest in section one is chapter 8,"Fatigue", and chapter 9, "Surface Damage". Chapter 8 is important because it contains a simplified, condensed, and introductory version of fatigue design and fatigue crack growth, and is probably going to be new material for many readers. Chapter 9 deals with the various kinds of surface deterioration in machine components. This is important because more machine parts fail because of surface damage than from actual breakage.

Part two of the book is concerned with the application of the fundamentals of mechanical engineering to specific machine components. In practice, problems involving the design, analysis, or application of machine members can seldom be solved by applying the fundamentals alone. Also, there is seldom just one right answer. This second section of the book gives the engineer exposure with these types of problems. Each chapter in this section deals with design issues in particular types of mechanical devices - springs, gears, bearings, clutches, brakes, etc. The final chapter of the section is a case study of the first commercially successful automotive automatic transmission, drawing on the knowledge of all of the individual devices studied in previous chapters of part two.

The updates to this fourth edition versus the third edition are:
* Chapter 1 has some new material including a hierarchy of design that sets design guidelines for minimizing risk as well as the documenting of a new product.
* Section 3.14 "Engineering Material Selection Process" is new material.
* Section 6.4 on "Fracture Mechanics - Applications" has been expanded.
* There are two new sections in Chapter 8 entitled "Fatigue Crack Growth" and "General Approach for Fatigue Design".
* There is more reference to various websites in this edition.
* Both the example and homework problems have been revised.

The third and previous edition of this book is only two years older than the current fourth edition, and actually contains about 100 pages more material than the fourth edition. Given the high cost of the fourth edition, and the fact that the third edition can be obtained used rather inexpensively, you might want to consider getting the third edition of this book if you do not consider this list of new features essential. A good companion to this book is the latest edition of "Machinery's Handbook" since it has equations and tables in a very concise format. However, I highly recommend you get a copy of either the third or fourth edition of this book too. It has a wealth of material on mechanical design, and if you are already a mechanical engineer, it will make you fall in love with the discipline all over again.

Excellent working reference with outstanding sample problems
By mkoehler@doubled.com
The first edition was a required college text, but I kept using it so much the cover wore out! The chapters are well laid out, and the sample problems really bring the main concepts into the real world. Every colleague to whom I have shown this book has been impressed.

handy reference- especially for new grads!
By A Customer
This book was required for my first course in mechanical design and I've kept is as a desk reference at work. The book is well organized and practical. The techniques outlined in the later chapters apply good design techniques and provide usable information for machine component designers. I recommend this book to anyone requiring a mechanical reference.

APPROACH

One of the greatest challenges that we face in teaching information systems courses is how to keep pace in the class with what is happening out in the real world. Hardware, software, telecommunications, and networking equipment—all of it continues to become faster, cheaper, and better, and business organizations continue to adopt and adapt these new technologies rapidly. In fact, whereas a decade ago large businesses would spend two or three percent of their revenues on information technology, today, spending on information technology for many large businesses can range from seven to 10 percent of their revenue. Most important, organizations are now relying on that technology as a fundamental part of their business strategy and their competitiveness.

As a result of this pervasiveness and the fast pace of technology change and use in organizations, teaching people about information systems has never been more valuable or challenging.

Given the dynamic nature of information systems, and given that it is difficult to find introductory information systems textbooks that are both up-to-date and student-friendly, we wrote Information Systems Today with three primary goals in mind. First, we wanted readers not only to learn about information systems, but also to feel as excited as we do about the field and about the amazing opportunities available in this area. Second, we did not simply want to spoon-feed students with the technical terms and the history of information systems. Instead, we want students to understand exactly what innovative organizations are doing with contemporary information systems and, more important, where things are headed. Third, we wanted to empower students with the essential knowledge they need to be successful in the use and understanding of information technology in their careers.

To this end, we wrote Information Systems Today so that it is contemporary, fun to read, and useful, and includes the essential body of knowledge regarding information systems.

APPROACH

Information Systems Today is primarily for the undergraduate introductory information systems course required of all business students. This course is typically offered in the junior year of four-year undergraduate programs and in the second year at two-year institutions. The introductory information systems course typically has a diverse audience of students majoring in many different areas, such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, general management, human resource management, production and operations, international business, entrepreneurship, and information systems. Given the range of students taking this type of course, we have written this book so that it is a valuable guide to all business students and provides them with the essential information they need to know. Students majoring in areas outside of business may also attend the introductory information systems course. Therefore, this book has been written to appeal to a diverse audience.

Information Systems Today can also be used for the introductory course offered at the graduate level—for example, in the first year of an MBA program.

KEY FEATURES

As authors, teachers, developers, and managers of information systems, we understand that in order for students to best learn about information systems with this book, they must be motivated to learn. To this end we have included a number of unique features to help students quickly and easily assess the true value of information systems and their impact on everyday life. We show how today's professionals are using information systems to help modern organizations become more efficient and competitive. Our focus is on the application of technology to real-world, contemporary situations. Below we describe each of the features that contribute to that focus.

Cases: A Multitiered Approach

Opening Scenario: Each chapter begins with an opening scenario describing a real-world company, technology, and/or issue to spark students' interest in the chapter topic. We have chosen engaging scenarios that relate to students' interests and concerns. A photo or illustration is included with each scenario.

BRIEF CASE. Each chapter also includes several brief cases that are taken directly from the news and discuss contemporary companies and technologies. These are embedded right in the text of the chapter and highlight concepts from the surrounding chapter material.

End of Chapter Case: To test and reinforce chapter content, we present two real-world cases at the end of each chapter. Sources for these cases include Information Week, Business Week, CIO Magazine, and various Web sites. Like the Brief Cases within the chapter, these are taken from the news and are contemporary. However, these are longer and more substantive than the Brief Cases and are followed by discussion questions that help the student apply and master the chapter.

Career Implications. In order to show students how the material from each chapter applies to their individual career tracks, we have created a "Career Implications" feature. This feature maps the material to the fields of accounting and finance, marketing, information systems, human resource management, and operations management in each chapter. That means there are five "Career implications" in every chapter. For example, an aspiring accountant will find an explanation within every chapter of how that chapter's material applies to the field of accounting. Similarly, every chapter has such a feature for a marketing major, for an operations management major, and so on.

Coming Attractions. We worked hard to ensure that this book is contemporary. We cover literally hundreds of different emerging technologies throughout the book. In order to drive the point home, we also included a "Coming Attractions" in each chapter, which describes some specific new technology and how it is or will be used.

When Things go Wrong. It is rare to find an information systems textbook that describes what not to do, but this can be very helpful to students. In each chapter we provide a feature called "When Things Go Wrong," which enables students to learn about a real-world situation in which information systems did not work or were not built or used well.

Web Search. In addition to end of chapter material, within each chapter we provide several opportunities for students to work alone or in teams to research topics on the Web that relate to chapter material.

Team Work. Within each chapter we also provide an opportunity for students to work in teams to solve a problem and/ or address an issue related to the chapter material. These and the Web Search exercises are great for livening up a class or study session.

Global Perspective. In addition to scores of international issues and examples throughout every chapter, we also provide a feature called "Global Perspective" in each chapter. With this feature, we show specifically how some aspect of the chapter applies to people, organizations, and technologies from around the world.

End-of-Chapter Material

Our end-of-chapter material is designed to accommodate various teaching and learning styles. It promotes learning beyond the book and the classroom. Elements include the following:

Key Terms

Highlight key concepts within the chapter

Review Questions

Test students' understanding of basic content

Self-Study Questions

Enable students to assess whether they are ready for a test

Matching Questions

Check quickly to see if students understand basic terms

Problems and Exercises

Push students deeper into the material and encourage them to synthesize and apply it

PEDAGOGY

In addition to our use of cases, chapter openers, and the other unique features described, we provide a list of learning objectives to lay the foundation for each chapter. At the end of the chapter, the Key Points Review repeats these learning objectives and describes how each objective was achieved. A list of references is located at the end of the text, organized by chapter.

ORGANIZATION

The content and organization of this book are based on our own teaching, as well as on feedback from reviewers and colleagues throughout the field. Each chapter builds on the others to reinforce key concepts and allow for a seamless learning experience. Essentially, the book has been structured to answer three fundamental questions:

What are contemporary information systems, and how are they being used in innovative ways?

Why are information systems so important and interesting?

How best can we build, acquire, manage, and safeguard information systems?

To answer these questions, we wrote and ordered the chapters in a special way. To continually show you where you are in the book, we begin each chapter by describing the "Big Picture" and literally provide students with an image of the "Big Picture" that shows you where the current chapter lies within the framework of the book.

The chapters are organized as follows:

• Chapter 1: "Information Systems: The Big Picture"—This chapter helps you understand what information systems are and how they have become a vital part of modern organizations. We walk the student through the technology, people, and organizational components of an information system, and we lay out types of jobs and career opportunities in information systems and in related fields. We use a number of cases and examples, such as that of Ticketmaster, to show the student the types of systems being used and to point out common "best practices" in systems use and management.
• Chapter 2: "Information Systems for Competitive Advantage"—In this chapter we talk about Microsoft's use of information sys...

Review
"Steve Jacobs has written a readable and thorough survey of Judaism with his usual touch of the passion to see religions, in the case Judaism, as living communities faced with the challenge to meet the contemporary, post-Shoah world. This makes this book a unique contribution to the materials on Judaism and a vital addition for any class or student to read." --James F. Moore, Professor of Theology, Valparaiso University

About the Author
Steven Leonard Jacobs is the Aaron Aronov Chair of Judaic Studies at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. Jacobs has published widely in Holocaust/Shoah studies, including his recent In Search of Yesterday: The Holocaust and the Quest for Meaning and Confronting Genocide: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Read this book!
By LonestarReader
I have just spent the afternoon with the most entertaining, warm, funny, and unusual people; they are the Casson family. In 152 pages, McKay has created characters I want to spend more time with and get to know better. Cadmium is the oldest girl and is learning to drive and pass her "A" levels. Indigo is the brother who dreams of exploring the Artic. Rose is the youngest who shows an affinity with paint as an infant.

We meet Saffy in the terrific opening sentence of the novel, "When Saffron was eight, and had at last learned to read, she hunted slowly through the color chart pinned up on the kitchen wall."

Through her exploration of a painter's color chart the story of her adoption into the Casson family is revealed. She learns that she was born in Siena, Italy and brought to England by her grandfather when her own mother died in an automobile crash. Although the focus of the story is on Saffy's search for her place in the family, the rest of the characters are so wonderfully drawn that the reader feels a personal connection with each one of them. The way the family members interact and care for each other is touching yet tremendously funny too.

Caddy's driving lessons (and her crush on the driving instructor) are hilarious. I laughed and laughed as I read. Indigo's valiant attempts to conquer his various fears are profoundly moving. Rose is a no holds barred artist. Her realistic view and handling of their father and his dismay at his unconventional family is cheering.

I sought this book out when the Junior Library Guild chose "Indigo's Star" as a selection this fall. Lucky for me, I will get to spend another afternoon with the Cassons now.

Stop what you are doing right now: order it, place it on hold at your library, or go out and buy it! You will thank me.

Fabulous
By Shannon Satterfield
I chose this book out of chance for a university course paper. Thank God. This book was one of the most endearing and beautiful stories about a fabulously funny and looney family.
I hope that many other people find this book by accident as well.
Thank you Saffy!

Quaint and Quirky
By Gretchen Goodfellow
The characters in this story will win you over in the first few pages! McKay writes with a wit that calls to mind JK Rowling. The children (who are all named after paint colors by their artist parents) are hysterical and cooly intelligent. The adults are loveable but incapable, however the children make up for that by being the true heroes. The comraderie between the siblings is refreshing and intriguing. I freely give it five stars for originality of character. A good pick for 5th-12th grade, as the ages of the children range all over. You will want to read the sequel Indigo's Star as well as the soon-to-be-published Permanent Rose.

*Book 2 in The Hunger series.*

Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and dissected by three rivers, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is an idyllic city. It's quiet, the traffic is nonexistent, and floating down the Allegheny River on a boat is peaceful and serene.

It's perfect… as long as you can ignore the mindless monstrosities roaming the streets, vampires ruling the night, and the insane, power-hungry human survivors. Mankind has devolved, mutating into mindless horrors. Only weeks ago, they built skyscrapers and traveled to space. Now they attack anything with flesh, driven by the never-ending desire to consume.

Lance York, and his unlikely companion Cass, have survived the apocalypse. Much to their surprise, that was the easy part. They've fled the city, struggling to find food and shelter, fighting against the nightmarish infected and the militant living, willing themselves to endure through each day.

The world has collapsed, but the fight has just begun.

When a clean pair of socks is considered a luxury...
By Amazon Customer
"The sigh that escaped Lance's lips would have given anyone within earshot the wrong impression of what he was doing."

The perfect opening line, especially considering a pair of clean socks is a luxury in Lance's "new world".

I'm having a tough time putting into words just how much I enjoyed this installment of The Hunger series. Maybe it's still the book-high talking, but this story was even better than the first. The relationships shared between Lance, Cass, Doc Brown, and Eifort add to this action-packed story, leaving you holding your breath with each turn of the page.

Also, if you've read Jason's short story, Lotion (featured in the Apocalypse Anthology), then you'll definitely want to pick up both Devoured and Consumed.

Fast-paced action and raw violence have you cheering the characters on as you follow their adventure through a world full of monsters and corruption they never thought they'd have to experience in their lifetime.

Here are just a few lines that had me chuckling out loud:

"You're going to eat that thing the first time you try to shoot it." Cass shook her head at him. "Make sure you let me know when you're going to fire it so I can watch."

How the hell were they supposed to spot a pine tree in the middle of the woods?

Lance put his window down and leaned out. "Hey, Doc?"
"Yeah?"
"When this baby hits eighty-eight miles an hour, you're going to see some serious shit."

This Book Consumed Every Free Moment I Had!!!
By Kindle Customer
Wow, after reading this book I just have one word to describe it: HolyFreakingAmazingBatmanBlast

Seriously, this book rocks and I had such an amazing time reading it. It's earned Jason Brant his own folder on my Kindle because I plan to snatch up the rest of his books as fast as I can. I really try hard to make myself wait a day before posting a review that way the story has enough time to sink in but I couldn't wait for tomorrow so I've just decided to throw caution to the wind and write the review now.

What I love about this book:

1. Awesome mutant zombies or Vladdies as they're called in the book. Get it Vladdies as in Vlad The Impaler! They're mean, super strong, fast and are like these giant zombie gorilla flesh eating vampire monsters. I know it sounds odd but trust me it's very cool and totally works. These things are mean. You know how you get when someone disturbs you when you're in the middle of a great book? Yeah, they're that kind of mean.

2. Awesome Characters that you can relate to: There are so many great characters. Lance is not your ordinary hero. In fact he was a bit of a loser before the mutant zombie gorilla apocalypse happened. Okay they're not really gorillas but their knuckles do drag the ground at times so they're getting called gorilla's by me. Where was I? Oh yeah Lance, he's just your average guy. He was down on his luck, couldn't hold a job, his wife hates him and he doesn't have a lot of confidence anymore. But once all heck breaks loose he's exactly the kind of person you would want on your side. He's a great guy. He's not super strong nor really fit or anything and he's not a very good fighter but he does his best and cares about people which is something I can totally relate to and once Cass entered the picture his confidence shot through the roof. He might not be the best zombie killer out there but he is the best kind of person to have as a friend during the apocalypse.

Doc Brown (Gonna go back in time) is a great character too. I love how can just take charge and gain control of a situation. He thinks about everyone along with every situations from all angles. He also happens to be one of the last doctors left in the US if not the world.

Eifort who is ex-military (since there is no more military, at least not around these parts) is a wonderful character too. She's small but deadly with a rifle. All of the characters have an incredible amount of depth to them especially considering how action packed these books are. They're an unlikely group of heroes who have become family to each other (and to me) in such a short amount of time. I simultaneously look forward to and dread the next books. I can't wait to read them but I don't want to lose any of these characters. I care about them too much which is just a testament to Jason Brant's skill as a writer.

3. Cass: Yes I know she should be covered under Awesome Characters but she's just so awesome that she gets her own number. I love the fact that the main fighter of the tale is a woman. She's in shape, has a giant medieval battle axe (how cool is that?), can use a bow and arrow and dresses like a weird prostitute with a Mohawk. Hey who cares about fashion, it's the end of the world. Social conventions no longer have any meaning. Time and time again she saves Lance or as she likes to call him: "dumb@#$". I love their interactions. I love how she seems to bring out the best in him and even though I think she should have chosen me over Lance I still really dig her character. I mean I wasn't even really in the book so I can't blame her for that. Besides Lance is pretty cool. He does end up saving her quite often too, well maybe not as much as she saves him but you get the idea. They're really good together and the two of them are the heart and soul of this series.

4. Lots and lots of action. The book is action packed. If there was anymore action in this book then .... well I can't really come up with a good line for this one but you can imagine if I did. it would have been awesome.

5. Great Book Covers: These book covers rock. The art work is just amazing.

6. Stupendously Spectacular Suspenseful Storyline: (Hey, I was going to throw sequel in there too so you got off lucky) The story-line is nothing short of incredible. I'm all about the little things in a storyline. Most of my favorite scenes in books aren't the big action sequences or the big reveal or the big moments but the little things. I love it when a good author does those little things well. A great author can turn anything into a plot device. A shower, having a meal, a friendly conversation by the fire, etc. Jason Brant not only does the little things very well but he manages to wrap them around the action so that the big things and the little things are all linked into one big smorgasbord of awesomeness. (I'm really big on that word)

Things I disliked about this book!

1. It Ended: I want to keep reading this forever. Why did it have to end?

2. Cass chose Lance over me: Hopefully I'll be in the next book and she'll make the right decision :)

3. Uhm, that's it: Oh yeah, I didn't like Ralph. I really hated his character. I really hope they get him in this book (I can't tell you if they did, that would ruin it). But I guess that's not really a dislike since he's the badguy. So I guess I like Ralph. Now I'm very confused!

This series became an instant favorite of mine. I cannot wait to read the next one and it never ceases to amaze me how Jason Brant was able to write about a zombie apocalypse which let's face it has been done a billion times and make it feel so completely new and unique. I cannot recommend this series enough. It's one heck of a ride and I think this book will pretty much appeal to anyone who likes good dialogue, plenty of action while still having a great deal of depth to the characters, lots of fun and funny moments and lastly but most importantly Cass. Really, she's something else. Plus if all of that isn't enough to entice you then Jason Brant included the short story Lotion as an added bonus which is a hilarious tale of post-apocalyptic proportions. He wrote it and it was published in an anthology a while back and several people contacted him asking if he could expand the world and write some more books and he decided to do just that. The rest is pure awesome reading goodness.

Another Nail Biting Thriller
By Heidi
Consumed is the second installment in Jason Brant's Hunger Series. I had to find out what happened to our foursome from the last book. We meet up with Lance, Cass, Dr. Brown, and Eifort shortly where the last book left off. They are still on the run from the vampire-like beings caused by the Xavier virus, but also trying to stay under the radar of the Minute Men who want total domination of what is left of those not infected.

Our foursome do meet some interesting and unique survivors on their journey to the next safe zone, after the collapse of the first one at Heinz Field. Yet danger still lurks behind every corner. You must choose wisely who you can trust.

I read the entire book in almost one day. Consumed had be biting my nails, and turning the pages to see what would happen next. The battering between Cass and Lance always makes me smile, and also the jokes thrown at Dr. Brown.

At the end of the first novel was the short story Lotion. This was first published in Apocalypse: An Anthology. This is the story that gave birth to these amazing books.
