[Q]: Awful book on its own for complete beginner . I wanted to teach my son to program and chose VB and this book.  This book really "looks" great but I'm not impressed by the content. So much so that it compelled me to write my first ever book review.    The introduction "Who Is This Book For?" gives a sense that this book can get people into programming.   I would be amazed however if anyone not familiar with programming will get past Chapter 1 without being frightened by the whole prospect of programming.  Chapter 1 initially jumps into some Microsoft marketing of .Net which really adds nothing but confuses the readers by having to deal with line after line of computer jargon.  Then the chapter gives a horrible overview of Object Orientation which again doesn't help later.    I feel the whole book is like the first chapter. Doesn't give you some of the basics but rambles about more complex stuff you don't need between some hands on practical stuff.     I actually thought the first example was really poor also.  I am of the opinion that someone typing something in themselves and seeing it work should be rewarding.  The example however was hard for a novice as it had long lines of comments and the line to print the variables was a minefield of quotes and symbols making it pretty likely that a beginner would do a typo.      The title of the book is "Build a Program Now!".  This the book does and given how complex setting up an environment it is helpful.  But I've slammed the rating of this book because this could have covered with a lot less pages and maybe substitute some of the drivel with a little about the syntax of VB or even some explanation of the example code.    DON'T buy this book if you think it will teach you anything about computing or programming.    DO buy this book if you have some other teaching reference for Visual Basic and want something that will help you setup your build environment.  Also comes with a VB Express CD so you don't have to downloaded it.

[Q]: A Quick Read if Nothing Else . When I first read the summary of Lost Souls I knew I had to get this book.  So, on what would end up being an long journey, I phoned my local second hand book stores and after going to three finally found one that actually had a copy (despite the others that were 'supposed to have one, miss, sorry').  I couldn't wait to read it, and in two days I'd finished the book.      Now, perhaps it was because my sights had been set so high, or perhaps I expected a well written novel when there was none, but 'Lost Souls' disappointed me severely.  As another reviewer said Nothing, the main character, is possibly one of the most selfish characters I've come across.  I'm fine with selfish characters, I myself loved Lestat of the Vampire Chronicles, but only when they're well written.  We're meant to sympathize with him but I found it impossible to do so.  He is honestly a selfish teenager and even while reading this when I was a teenager I wanted Nothing to come to some revelation.  I found the only character I felt bad for in the novel died early on.  While the rest of the novel was supposed to be tense, or possibly filled with horror, I found I was flipping through without a true care as to what happened to the main characters.  There were a few moments of suspense but nothing too frightful.  In all honesty, the book reminded me of the countless  horror stories that fill writing websites [...]     Overall, I would say it's worth a read if you've nothing else to do and are craving any type of vampire story.  Just don't expect too much

[Q]: McPhee is amazing . McPhee joins a merchant marine as he tries to find a ship to work on -  hence the title - then journeys with him as the boat does its work. I  picked this book up because I've read other books by McPhee that make  subjects that I would normally not even think about fascinating. This book  was no exception. For readers who have read his geology series (compiled  into Anals of the Former World) and found it a bit too technical and dry,  this book will be a refreshing change. I never would have thought I'd be  interested in this subject, but McPhee made it interesting
