Wiley CPA Exam Review 2007 Auditing and Attestation.......2007-02-08

This is the study guide for people who are taking the auditing course or who practice the review course for CPA exam
The question is a little bit hard but the solution in the back of the book.

Disadvantages of Self-Study.......2000-06-13

Wiley's books are useful, but not suitable for a complete review. I found them to contain more information than was necessary. They did, however, contain a multitude of old CPA Examination questions. This was useful, but I feel that these books need to be used in conjunction with a reputable CPA Review Course. Test taking skills are not discussed in depth, as well as the confidence instilled by a review course.

Excellent Book for Wonderful Tours.......2003-06-16

Rick provides some of the best information about the cities he visits. The books are worth the price for the trivia alone. Whether you've already been to Europe or you're planning to go, these books are for you. In fact, the London book is so spectacular that even if you're not planning a trip to England, you should buy the book. It's full of interesting information and is its own time capsule of British history and culture.

First-time visitor who felt like a regular.......2002-03-29

Rick Steves'suggestions helped us to get the most out our week in London. From how to get and use a weekly transit pass to pubs and restaurants, we found his examples to be excellent. His philosophy of enjoying anyplace through interaction with local folk is shared by us and made our visit one that continues to enrich us. I just received email from a Londoner we met in Churchill's Pub and we're looking forward to "tipping a few" in the future. Buy this book, read it, plan your trip to your needs, and get the most out of this great city...

An amazing guide for a first time visitor!.......2002-03-28

"The Volkking struggled, but his sickness attacked him both day and night, a war band giving the enemy no respite of sleep." With the first sentence of Elske readers are tumbled into a vivid medieval world whose rich, elegant detail only continues to entrance. Newbery Award winner Cynthia Voigt (Dicey's Song) brings her Kingdom series to a superb conclusion with this fourth and final story. At age 12, living as a captive in her Viking-styled Volkaric homeland, Elske has been appointed to die. Her grandmother plots to take her place secretly, so that Elske can escape to the merchant society of Traskad. Once there, she becomes a servant to the imperious young noblewoman Beriel--who insists on being the rightful heir to the throne of The Kingdom. Elske finds that while Beriel is stubborn and headstrong, the exiled young queen matches Elske's own honesty and gutsiness, and they soon become allies in the perilous battle to regain the crown. Like the other three books in the series--Jackaroo, On Fortune's Wheel, and The Wings of a Falcon--this story is linked to the others only loosely and can easily stand alone. But young readers who have once experienced Voigt's beautifully drawn characters, lush settings, and riveting plots will certainly want to seek out the rest of the epic tale. (Ages 12 and older) --Patty Campbell

Book Description

Two Women

Elske -- a girl with no future, until her grandmother's sacrifice saves her from certain death

Beriel -- an imperious princess, determined to claim the kingdom that is her birthright

Fate brings them together, both exiles, one servant to the other. To Beriel, the mistress, Elske offers steadfast loyalty and courage -- hard to come by in her dangerous quest to regain the throne she has been denied by treachery. To Elske, the handmaiden, Beriel's proud example provides a perhaps even more precious gift -- the strength to find her true self.

Good fantasy read, mature themes, best for older teens.......2006-08-25

This was a well written story, any fantasy lover will be captivated by the complete world presented. The characters are strong and memorable. Elske is a compelling heroine that sets out on her own and her wit charms many men, but only one "knows the sweet honey of her name..."

I found the author's exploration of a woman's role in the world a little predictable, but still interesting to read. The main character travels and lives in three different societies where women are treated in relatively different and sometimes brutally violent ways and readers are suppose to draw their own conclusions. I'm sure most young adult readers won't notice how formulaic it is, especially girl readers (If anything, they enjoy that and that's half the appeal of fantasy titles.)

What bothers me the most is the violence that is depicted with the Volkaric society. The first chapter has a mass rape along side with the exposure of unwanted girl babies out to feed the wolves (which the main character & her grandmother against that society's express customs snap their necks before exposing them in a stroke of mercy.) I understand the author's use of it as a contrast, and it is not a "glorified" type of violence. The darkness and evil of the Volkaric only makes Elske's character all the more luminous and good. But the violence is there all the same. There is also another "rape" that is featured in the story's plot, one that involves an unwanted pregnancy. Again, it is not glorified, but it does take a serious and complicated matter and wraps it up pretty in two chapters.

People who monitor what their children read may want to hold off on letting their younger teens read this. (I found this book in the adult section of my library and approved the librarian's discretion.) Some people will pooh-pooh this warning, some people don't care what their kids read, as long as they are reading. I myself worry that when kids are exposed to too much violence, they get de-sensitized to it. So take care with this title, its a good read, but has very mature themes in it.

Voigt could and should have done much better.......2006-01-28

I believe that Cynthia Voigt's previous installment in her "Kingdom" series was "The Wings of the Falcon". This is the only other book out of the series that I have completely read as of yet; however, it gave me the impression that Voigt is capable of writing much, much better novels than she did this time around. In "Elske", Voigt goes way into detail with less interesting events- banquets, walking from point A to point B, and so on and so forth. She also seems far too enamored by the pretty brightness and cleverness of the protagonist she has created, making much of how quick-witted Elske is while failing to put in any significant internal conflicts or character flaws that would have made her more compelling.

One thing that would have improved the story would have been if Voigt had gone more into depth about the more interesting events of the story, or at least had Elske react more strongly to them. For example, another reviewer here spoke of the relationship between Elske and Dugald, her love interest. Voigt must have put in around five short interactions between the two- more or less- before they were confessing their desire for one another. And those interactions were not very deep, either- somehow, they failed to be convincing. Birle's spontaneous love in "On Fortune's Wheel" was much more convincing than Elske's; Cynthia Voigt could have made much more of it.

Now, don't get me wrong- "Elske" is not necessarily a bad novel. The way the world and time period were depicted, as well as the customs and traditions of the peoples who inhabited it, were all very well fleshed-out and believable. However, the characters and plot were a huge disappointment after having read the much more gripping "Falcon" and parts of "On Fortune's Wheel". Perhaps the story would have been better if it had been told from the viewpoint of Beriel, the other protagonist of the story. Else was simply too bland and failed to compel. There were no faults evident in her character- she was just a pretty, modest, clever, quick-witted girl. There really was no depth to her. She reacted to just about everything with a calm that was supposed to depict her strength of character and whatnot, but really just came across as dull. Beriel, on the other hand, had a much more fiery character and went through a great deal of external AND internal conflict throughout the story- not to mention the fact that the things that befell her were far more interesting than anything that happened to Elske.

However, Elske herself aside, on its own plenty of people will enjoy reading her story. Those who really found Cynthia Voigt's other books deeper and more interesting should be a bit disappointed.

Beware of mature subject matter.......2005-05-03

13-year-old Elske escapes rape and certain death at the hands of the leaders of her barbaric [Volkaric] society. She leaves her homeland and, through several contacts, finally becomes handmaiden to Beriel. Together they work to claim Beriel's rightful throne in the kingdom.
This book should be for mature readers only. The Volkaric society is barbaric in that there is mention that men rape women in multiples, babies are given to wolves, etc. This thread goes through the book, not in a sickening way, but being descriptive of the society. Later, there is mention of a woman's bleeding time and the description of the birth process.

A timless tale of loyalty.......2004-11-21

Cynthia Voight has woven a colorful tale that captures and steals the heart of the reader. If you enjoy reading a book about a timeless devotion to one another then this book is for you. The intricate tale of two women striving to bring order to the Kingdom will cause you to wonder and question the outcome of the book. you wiil find yourself caught in the tale until the last page has turned. If you do not believe me, then i sugest that you go and buy yourself a copy. Yes buy it, not check it out. This book will be one you want on your self so that you may enjoy it time and time again.

Wonderful read.......2004-08-27

I read Voight's other "Kingdom" books as a teenager, but when I came across Elske on the site, I had to buy it. I was a little wary that I would have outgrown the series, but I quickly found myself completely immersed in the story. Voight crafts an excellent tale, doing well to tie this book in with the others in the series, but with such subtlety than one must not have read the others to enjoy Elske. The characters are strong, and the only negative thing I can say is that it all seems to wrap up too quickly. The last few chapters could have been fleshed out a great deal more without overburdening the plot, and I, for one, would have enjoyed a little more substance. However, it still makes for a great read, whether or not you're family with the other books.
