UGH. How many times do you purchase a new item like a cell phone and the only instructions included in the box are simple and not too detailed? The missing manual concept is a detailed and easy to read "how to manual" that should have been in the box! Newer Smart Phones have so much power and are loaded with features that are often overlooked. Sort of like buying a Lamborghini performance car just to run to the local corner store to purchase a gallon of milk. This book probably won't be read page by page. Flip through the index and find a topic that interests you and read away! Don't forget to check the very last page for a location to find additional information on other "manuals." If this library doesn't have what you are looking for in their collection, library staff might be able to get the item through other libraries that share their collections with us. Ask for information on InterLibrary Loans.

Wow, what an amazing book! I had to do this for a school

I've always wanted to read this but was too scared plus it's over 1,000 pages. King writes the perfect novels for long summer nights. The hundreds of pages of character development definitely pays off. A few differences from the movie that were additive. Great book if you have the guts!

I love this series I have read all the different books and looking forward to another book series of the same author

My favorite part is when elephant and piggy were playing pirate.

Good book that emphasizes teamwork.

Beautifully written historical fiction. The characters (Luz, Maria Jose, Diego and Lizette, Simodecea, The sleepy Prophet and Pidre) really make this time in history come alive from the late 1800s into the early 20th century following several generations of this multicultural family. A tribute to the author's family.

I loved the information and the context. My only regret was that the book was short.

This book is a religious type, some Bible verses/stories are mentioned. The author is Christian and he is very positive with all of his pieces of advice.

This first novel of the historical fantasy trilogy featured smooth writing, a rich, complex world and engaging characters. Readers averse to graphic details of military atrocities be forewarned.
