My Boring Ass Life: The Uncomfortably Candid Diary of Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith

Titan Books, 2007

Another Winner
If you're even a slight Kevin Smith fan you'll love this book. An uncomfortably close look inside Kevin's life. I devoured it in a week.

Professional BizTalk Server 2006

Darren Jefford, Kevin B. Smith, ...

Wrox, 2007

Excellent reference book
It took a long time for decent BizTalk Server books to start appearing, and those of us who have been committed to the product for some time know the pain (and fun) of having to work out, for ourselves, how this product works, how best to apply it to real-life ...

Applied SOA: Service-Oriented Architecture and Design Strategies

Michael Rosen, Boris Lublinsky, ...

Wiley, 2008

Outstanding - worth the read.
I have not seen a SOA book that is as practical as this one. Most of the people I work with understand why SOA is important, and we all get the vision by now. Many of the other popular SOA books ONLY focus on the vision and "what is SOA?" but not much else. This ...

Green Arrow: Quiver (Book 1)

Kevin Smith, Phil Hester, ...

DC Comics, 2003

Kevin Smith's finest work.
I am not a particular fan of Kevin Smith's film work, but I absolutely love much of his comics work, and the ten issues collected in "Green Arrow: Quiver" represent his finest hour. Oliver Queen, aka the Green Arrow, was created in the Golden Age of superheroes as ...

Daredevil Visionaries Vol. 1: Guardian Devil (v. 1)

Kevin Smith

Marvel Comics, 2001

almost made me a Daredevil fan
I admit that I'm not much of a fan of Daredevil. I don't know why, but for some reason he never drew me in. But I saw Kevin Smith wrote it (and Queseda was the artist), and since I love his writing in his movies, I thought I'd check this out. It's really good. Though ...

Governing States & Localities

Alan Greenblatt, Michele Mariani, ...

CQ Press, 2007

Great for a textbook
Less dry and harsh than most texts books. Not a bad read, full of good, unbiased info, and presents imporatant info well. The text is presented in a way that makes since and the fluff really only backs up the main points well rather than adding so much to the mix its ...

The Amish Cook: Recollections and Recipes from an Old Order Amish Family

Elizabeth Coblentz, Kevin Williams

Ten Speed Press, 2002

Delightful
This cookbook has wonderful recipes from the Amish but it is much more. It reads like a diary of Elizabeth Coblentz's life as an Amish wife, mother, and grandmother. Very interesting details like how she used to make 9 loaves of bread every week and would have them ...

The Promise and Performance of American Democracy

Jon R. Bond, Kevin B. Smith

Wadsworth Publishing, 2007

Not that bad.
This book was written by my political science professor at Texas A&M. During lecture he would be a little more one-sided, but this book is very neutral and demostrates facts very clearly. Bond has a particular affinity for graphs and being long-winded. However, he does ...

Silent Bob Speaks: The Collected Writings of Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith

Miramax, 2005

Kevin Smith Fan? You Will Love This
Kevin Smith proves himself as a very good writer once again with this collection of his blogs. There is a lot of behind the scenes information given as well as his likes and dislikes when it comes to movies and celebrities. The stories range from funny to serious, but ...

Bluntman & Chronic

Kevin Smith, Michael Avon Oeming, ...

Image Comics, 2001

Snootch To The NOOTCH!

Clerks and Chasing Amy: Two Screenplays

Kevin Smith

Miramax, 1997

?All the money?s in dick and fart jokes?
Kevin Smith sells himself a bit short with that comment (through one of his characters) because behind the obscenities in both works, Smith makes intelligent commentary about youthful angst. In addition to the razor-sharp wit, Smith's other great gift as a storyteller ...

Green Arrow: The Sounds of Violence (Vol. 2)

Kevin Smith

DC Comics, 2004

Kevin Smith writes about love re-ignited and arrows and what sounds like serial killing...
Hawkman: "You know, Oliver -- the ancient Egyptians had a word for people like you." Green Arrow: "Oh, yeah? What's that?" Hawkman: "'Schmuck.'" GREEN ARROW: SOUNDS OF VIOLENCE is the second trade paperback reprinting issues from the Emerald Archer's new monthly ...

Tales From The Clerks

Kevin Smith, Various

Graphitti Designs, 2006

Kevin Smith, comic book style
Over the past year or so, I have been on a bit of a Kevin Smith kick, watching his movies and reading the two books he's written. So it's no surprise (at least to me) that I picked up Tales of the Clerks, a compilation of comic books featuring characters related to ...

Public Administration Theory Primer

H. George Frederickson, Kevin B Smith

Westview Press, 2003

Impenetrable is right!
I read this book for a public administration graduate class. I do not have a background in political science, so perhaps the book was more difficult for me than for others. The previous reviewer used the word "impenetrable." I found about half the chapters were ...
