Publisher's Summary:

A comic novel about the stresses in a small college linguist's personal and professional life. As he loses his wife then his job, Bone King begins suffering a mysterious ailment that prevents him from going through doors. His only hope is renowned neurologist Arthur Limongello.

Sometimes Bone King cannot go through doors. He has no physical impairment, but at times his brain and muscles simply can't recall how to walk him through them. Perhaps it has something to do with his being distracted thinking about grammar and etymology all the time, or maybe it's anxiety that his wife is having an affair with the yardman.

But then renowned neurologist Arthur Limongello offers a diagnosis as peculiar as the ailment: Bone's self is starting to dislodge from his brain. The treatment is a series of therapeutic tasks; Bone must compliment a stranger each day, do good deeds without being asked, and remind himself each morning that "Today is a good day!"

But first, as a temporary measure, he also suggests Bone simply try to dance through the doorways. And for a time, Bone's square dancing, the only kind of dance he knows how to do, seems to more or less work.

Bone's condition begins to improve, but then his wife leaves him, and after a harrowing ordeal during which he nearly loses his life, Bone makes an astounding discovery about the man who has been calling himself Dr. Limongello.

Is Limongello's remedy the product of a deranged imagination or the cure for a modern epidemic threatening the very self?

Enjoyable story

I enjoyed this book. If you like word origins and grammar and humor, you'll really appreciate this story. There are 26 chapters, one for each letter of the alphabet. You can see some of the author's cartoonist slant in the dancing man on the page edges in the middle of the book. That's a reason for buying a hard copy. I don't know how this would work out on an e reader, though. I gave this book as a gift, too, and my recipient enjoyed it as well.

Delightful

The most revealing thing I can say about this story was that I had become so involved with the main character that when the book ended I finally had to come to terms with the reality that Bone King was a fictional character and not a personal confidant. A very complex character who continued to do things and react to situations in a manner uncommon to most of us.The Lemon Jell-O Syndrome was humorous and amusing but on a deeper level quite metaphorical for the human condition.

After putting the book down, I began to ask myself which of the individuals Bone encounters in the story actually helped him.

I loved the little posed characters in the lower right corner many pages throughout much of the book. If you flip through the pages corners you can watch Bone dance!

I loved how Bone was such a quirky guy but really ...

The Lemon Jell-O Syndrome was a really enjoyable read. I loved how Bone was such a quirky guy but really engaging and someone I could root for. And the word/grammar play was a hoot.

If you're looking for a funny, interesting book with great characters, give this one a try!

This is a terrific story.

Man Martin is a genius. This is a terrific story.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Justus, Erwin und Willi sind seit der Schulzeit Freunde. Gemeinsam begeben sich die drei Männer in den besten Jahren auf eine längst überfällige Reise in ein Wellnesshotel in Niederbayern. So war es zumindest geplant. Durch ein Missgeschick landen die Herren in einer Kuranstalt ein paar Ortschaften weiter. Notgedrungen lassen sie sich auf das Abenteuer ein. In erster Linie wollten die Freunde schließlich die Seele baumeln lassen. Doch die Woche entwickelt sich anders als gedacht und birgt einige Überraschungen. Willi hält den Hausmeister auf Trab. Erwin entdeckt verloren geglaubte detektivische Fähigkeiten, und Justus bleibt nichts anderes übrig, als sich seinen ganz persönlichen Problemen zu stellen.

Anstelle von Wellness finden die Freunde hier etwas viel Wichtigeres. Der vermeintlich falsche Ort entpuppt sich als ganz genau richtig.

Ein Roman zum Schmunzeln. "Sie haben Ihr Ziel erreicht" ist der sechste Roman von Friedrich Kalpenstein.

Title: Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles

Publisher's Summary:

Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius. Warlock Holmes is an idiot. A font of arcane power, certainly. But he's brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn't deduce his way out of a paper bag.

The only thing he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart companion. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety and save him from a gruesome death every now and again.

Critic Reviews:

"A must for all those who like their Holmes on the wilder side." (George Mann, author of Sherlock Holmes: The Spirit Box)

"I laughed like a loon." (James Lovegrove New York Times best-selling author of The Age of Odin)

Members Reviews:

top class

gutted it's over and I don't have the next book to listen to. It's that good. amazing book.

amazing!

was very funny and narrated very well! enjoyed the similarity to the original sherlock holmes

Sherlock Holmes will never be the same

What did you like most about Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles?

The geriatric Hell-Hound, the literal-minded demons, the usual shenanigans, the somewhat dim Holmes and as always; Watsons comments. And of course, the landlady.

What other book might you compare Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles to, and why?

Sherlock Holmes, but with demons and a fairly dim-witted Holmes. This is clearly a spoof on Sherlock Holmes, but a lot more entertaining.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Any scene with Watson annoyed. Also trying to figure out which Sherlock Holmes story is being mangled (with added demons)

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

If you have to, make an anime. A "normal" film can't do this justice.

Any additional comments?

And waiting for the next installment...

The wackiness continues

Though I respect some of the haters who dislike this book or expect it to just be another Sherlock Homes mystery novel, the truth is that even if it wasn't a parody of Sir Arthur Doyle's work I probably would have bought it anyway.

I just wish the Author wrote more or that I could find something similar to this. It is very rare to find something that is enjoyable as this, that has a good plot, a good character selection, and can make me laugh.

Fun Characters

What did you love best about un2dead?

I loved the characters they all had their own funny traits and would be interested in see them again.

What about Rebekah Nemethys performance did you like?

She gives the different characters their own voice. I didnt love them all but I liked that they were unique.

Any additional comments?

I received this book free for review.

Great book and narration

What a fun book this was. The author took a lighthearted approach to a rapidly expanding list of vampire/werewolf/immortal beings. He managed a story line that included the aforementioned as well as a would be crotchety old grandmother along with a little time travel thrown in for good measure. His sometimes well meaning but bumbling characters managed to maintain a pace that kept me listening till the end. Sadly end it did, and now I have to wait to see if there will be a second book. Rebekah Nemethy did an outstanding job with the narration making all of Bill's characters come alive! Or, un2dead?

Title: Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich

Author: Stephen Leacock

Narrator: Cate Barratt, Jeff Moon, Ron Altman, Richard Andrews, David Prickett, John Burlinson, Lee Ann Howlett

Format: Unabridged

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) may be considered the Canadian counterpart to Mark Twain. For many years he was professor of economics at Magill University and published a number of well-regarded texts on economics and political science. However, he is best known today for his many volumes of humorous fiction. During the 1920s he was one of the most widely read authors in the English-speaking world and was considered by Jack Benny and Groucho Marx to be one of the greatest comic writers of all time.

In Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich, Leacock applies a satirical scalpel to the foibles and pretensions of the wealthy and the powerful. He not only probes the quirks of traditional power structures like corporations (public and private), political parties, universities, and churches but also finds time to poke fun at one of his favorite targets - the world of psychic phenomena.

Members Reviews:

A delightfully ironic book

I was astonished to find that Arcadian Adventures of the Idle Rich seems to be only available new as various reprints of the same unedited public-domain scans. The quality is readable, and all the pages are present. However, they are replete with dark marks at the edges and notes scrawled by previous readers. It's a pity no publisher has reissued this book in a newly typeset format with a custom-designed cover, not a generic one the reprint publisher uses for numerous other books. Or at least a clean copy could have been scanned.

However, the *content* is superb. Stephen Leacock satirizes the social events, marriages, educations, morals, politics, and especially the business practices of the 1910s New England or New York nouveau riche. (It's not clear exactly where the action is located.) This world is reminiscent of that of P.G. Wodehouse. As a writer, Leacock is more understated and more intellectual than Wodehouse. (Leacock was a university professor of political economy.) In some ways Leacock is kinder--a number of appealing, morally pure, though unintelligent innocents are caught in the toils of this society and must somehow escape it or make peace with it. Then, as is common in books of this era, every young unmarried woman is chivalrously depicted as innocent and beautiful.

Plotwise, Arcadian Adventures is a series of interconnected short stories with overlapping characters. A broke British duke tries to borrow money from Americans who instead want him to invest in their businesses. A hick becomes a multimillionaire when gold is discovered on his family farm.

Publisher's Summary:

Life isn't easy - especially when you're the reclusive daughter of a melodramatic attorney openly mocked for his commercials, and a free-spirited mother who gives art lessons in the nude. Their over the top personalities make it easy for the sheltered and introverted Magnolia Berrybush to swim in a sea of anonymity - until the day she finally snaps.

Desperate to break free from a clandestine world above her parents' garage, she devises a plan to make her mark - serial killing! Unfortunately, she discovers that her heart and stomach aren't ready to handle the life of a cold-blooded murderer, so she's forced to move on to plan B. During her ill-fated attempt at achieving infamy, Magnolia meets Honey LeReaux, a hooker who is well past her prime. Ironically, Magnolia begins to blossom as she plunges head first into a seedy world, but she also realizes that smutty books and adult films have done little to prepare her for the real world. Will Magnolia ever break free, or is she destined to live her life hiding in the shadows of her secret world?

HE-LARRY-US klutz duckling finds her HEA 5 stars

Magnolia Berrybush is a KLUTZ with a capital K. She is the quiet girl in the room. She tries to blend into the background. She doesn't make waves. BUT one day she realizes that she doesn't want to blend in, she wants to be noticed. She's tired of being invisible. So what does she do to get the attention? She decides to become a serial killer!!! Yay!! Go killer. Umm the path to serial killing is chock full of incidences that may leave Maggie in need to desperate attention. Who's attention? Umm not telling but she gets the attention she wanted. It may not seem right when you're reading and clutching your tummy to stop the ache because I kid you now, it's effing funny. Yet Maggie definitely get attention. Her quest for visibility lands her in Maggie in heaps of misadventures. She has the tendency to leap before she has time to think twice and ends up entangling herself in situations that requires repeat encounters that does tend to put her on center stage.

While she endeavors to become a serial killer, she bumps into Jace who is a paramedic and then Honey who as you very well know is a prostitute. OMG the conversation Maggie has with everyone and her inner monologue had me giggling until tears were coursing down my face. And then the whole encounter on the street in the dead of night which leads her to Nick. I kept wondering how a person can keep literally falling into trouble. But she was falling, she was learning about life in leaps and bounds. What I especially loved about this book is how many of us out there do feel like we are invisible. We don't fall under society's definition or perception of beauty and hence we tend to hide. Maggie's story was beautiful, it does tend to highlight society's norm in a satirical way, but boy was it fun to read.

So if you wanna know about nude artists, bashed faces, witches riding pork legs, prostitutes having your back, learn about the world in general, broken body parts and sizzling hot men, you simply gotta 1-click this beauty. Cos I swear this one was a treat for my soul.

Fantastically hilarious!

Rhonda has been on my top fav author list since the 1st words I've read of hers, but this book has put her over the edge.

This one is a must read!

Laughed the whole book! Lively personalities and you probably know one of the characters in real life. Heartfelt, relatable, and truly entertaining. Enjoyed reading a book without any vile language or connotations at all and still was drawn into the characters life and stories. Can't wait for the second in the series!

Retirement Fun

In Woolen Bikinis is an engaging story about the unpredictable twists and turns that can happen in any woman's life, as well as a strong friendship, one Jean and Rosie are fortunate to have, that can help carry one through.

It's also about simple pleasures, plenty of them (like woolen bikinis). Be prepared to be delighted!

Members Reviews:

worth a credit

I was gifted this audio ARC for a honest and unbiased review from the author/narrator

Catherine Dougherty did a good job of telling this almost true to life book of friends who are over 50. One of which is separated from her husband. The others husband was operated on for his heart. Meanwhile, Jean and Rosie have just opened a new business together. I liked how the story shows problems of the characters were issues dealing with real life. Unfortunately there were a lot repeated statements or explanatiinstall and that was a bit tedious.

Carolyn Power did a good job telling the story, voicing each character,

If you like cozy mystery books you'll like this one. Count on it as a good use of credit

The warmth of a great friendship

If you could sum up in Woolen Bikinis (Jean and Rosie Series) (Volume 2) in three words, what would they be?

friendship - eventful, compassionate

Who was your favorite character and why?

Rosie. Sweet and even somewhat childish, at the same time she has great depths of wisdom and courage.

What about Carolyn Powers performance did you like?

Carolyn Power's performance is simply remarkable. She is a one woman acting troupe! Each character has his or her own voice so that you feel you really know these people well. At the same time you forget that Carolyn is even there, because she immerses you in the story. Carolyn's voice is full of compassion and warmth; she is like a wonderful friend and companion and because of that she is able to convey the specialness of the great friendship between Jean and Rosie. I must say that having finished this second volume of the series, and having enjoyed two volumes of the Jean and Rosie series, I really miss the story and Carolyn's wonderful voice. Can't wait for the third installment!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

At times this book made me cry and often it made me laugh. It is serious yet often funny.

Any additional comments?

I love the store that the two friends have created - knitting and books! This friendship is deep on so many levels, yet each friend has her own individual personality and they sometimes disagree. But with this store they have created something wonderful together. The store brings in their families, their friends, and even a very special surprise - a very important surprise - for Rosie! But I won't give it away.
