"Narnia Lite"
This background is reminiscent ofC.S. Lewis' Narnia. A young child enters a different world through a magic door and meets good and evil characters. The comparison ends here. There is none of Narnia's rich texture, excitement and underlying morality. The book is poorly written, the plot could have been written by a (not very talented) 11 year old and leaves one feeling cheated. The beautiful illustrations make up the only redeeming feature. ...

Every year the Burton snowboard team travels south chasing snow. 28 Days: A Snowboarding Narrative documents a specific moment in time: August 2006. That month unequaled conditions blanketed the southern island of New Zealand. In Methven, NZ a small but elite crew of Burton's global team posted up to access the incredible Southern Alps via helicopter. Simultaneously, a creative crew took control of Snowpark NZ to reinvent freestyle park riding. Meanwhile, on the distant continent of South America, the Burton Women's team was pushing into the pristine backcountry of Termas De Chillan, Chile. 28 Days is an epic photographic narrative that captures these snowboarders pushing the limits of riding in the ultimate conditions, documents the ultimate trip, and inspires us all to ride. ...

Good
Awesome photos that inspire you to go hang in the mountains.

A must have for anyone that loves riding.

Not a book for all the Burton haters though...

Beautiful Photographs
The photographs in this book are absolutely amazing!The photographers are so incredibly talented.I feel like I am right there on the mountain.It is just an awesome book, I highly recommend it!Thank you Burton!

Fine if you are looking for pics of a teen giving the finger
Burton has blown it again. Here the team riders had a chance to show the soul of snowboarding the mountains. And there is some of that. But there are more teen riders giving the finger and having a party (I recall one of a teen passed out in his own vomit, but this may have been the product catalog). So to say it was a disapointment is an understatement.

You might like it but know what you are getting. A disjoitned collection of pictures that do not reflect the soul or roots of the sport. ... Read more

Sultry Summer Fun anthology from Ellora's Cave
Huh.Who knew?I enjoyed reading "Sultry Summer Fun", a five-author anthology from Ellora's Cave.Granted I didn't LOVE every story, but there weren't really any I hated either.

"Hypnotica" by Kimberly Dean was my favorite of the five.A shy woman attracted to a quiet but hunky man is 'unleashed' during a hypnotist show on a cruise.Fun, funny, and way hot!

"Tandem" by Elizabeth Donald had some hot sex, but also two strangers falling in love over a weekend...eh, maybe.

"Off the Deep End" by Anna J. Evans was smoking hot and involves a sexy, well-hung merman!Need I say more?

Eve Jameson's "Saint JIllian's Rebel" is a reunion love story with a sizzling bad-boy hero.Yummy.

Mary Winter rounds out the list with "Water Lust" which has a very esoteric, metaphysical vibe.

Five authors, five short stories, each just the right length for a quick read before bed.Not a keeper for me, but still enjoyable. ... Read more
