I am a huge fan of the House and became a Hugh Laurie fan. This book though, is just riding on the coattail of a successful show.

This book starts off entertaining, giving a recounting of Laurie's life and career. Then it gives a profile of each main character in the from the first three seasons of House. This part is enjoyable though all the interviews and facts are pulled from other sources.

Then the book gets really dull. It is an episode by episode break down of the first three seasons. show more Maybe this would be more interesting if I was actively watching the show as I read. I found it tedious and boring, adding very little to my perception of the show, so I decided not to finish reading about each episode. show less

Natures whirlwinds and spinning storms can be a very scary situation for all involved. Early beliefs were centered around these storms coming to land because the gods were angry. Today, meteorologists know a lot more about hurricanes. Challen gives readers facts, photos and tips on how these deadly storms form and how you can be safe. Hurricanes cause rain, floods and mudslides along with billions of dollars in property damage and often times death. Young readers will learn about the show more Saffir-Simpson Scale and how the size of a hurricane is measured. Graphs and charts are displayed for easy viewing and learning. At the back of the book kids can make their own hurricane in a bowl with household items that are right in the cupboard. This is a great book for teachers to introduce students to storms and how to be safe and so much more. Parents will love this as a guide during the hurricane and typhoon seasons, to help their children prepare and learn about what's happening in their area. show less
