This book changed my life

Words can't express how amazing this novel is. On the surface it seems like a lighthearted exploration about the trials and tribulations of life at sea - but have you really READ it? Have you? Because I haven't, but this man is the father of a friend of mine and I assume it must be amazing. He is also a prophet, which leads me to believe this book alludes to certain sections of Revelations from the New Testament that may or may not predict the apocalypse. Pick it up today at your local library for a fun read! <br />Review sponsored by READING RAINBOW.08774232453012004-06-11

Rambling but with good cartoons

The book has its moments but it tends to ramble. There are sometimes to many quotes. They disrupt the flow of the text. The cartoons have to be the best part of the book. My husband got a few chuckles out of it too.08774232455881998-09-25

As hilarious as it is informative. A great gift book.

This book is a "must read" for anyone who loves boating, hates boating, has ever been seasick, or has never been seasick. Want to know what Sophocles, Homer, and Dickens said about seasickness? Sample the many preventives and cures that have been proposed? Learn the latest scientific theory of the cause of seasickness? Find out how to say "seasickness" in over 50 languages? Read this before a boat trip to learn what [not] to do aboard; or give it to the boater whose invitation you turned down, to explain why. Limericks, cartoons, quotations, etiquette, practical advice -- it's all in this unique book.4466General4456Humor86Entertainment1000Subjects283155Books713219011General AAS4456Humor86Entertainment1000Subjects283155Books298657General10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books713243011General AAS10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books14337Communicable Diseases14336Infectious Disease225828Internal Medicine13996Medicine1000Subjects283155Books227207Communicable Diseases227206Infectious Disease227203Internal Medicine265542Medicine173514Medical173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0967944600http://www.amazon.com/Motion-Sickness-Terry-ONeal/dp/0967944600%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D09679446003651377http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/514E61XKF6L._SL75_.jpg7551http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/514E61XKF6L._SL160_.jpg160108http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/514E61XKF6L.jpg475321Terry O'NealPaperback8119780967944609300967944600Motion PublishingEnglishEnglishEnglish6801195USD$11.95Motion Publishing1112Book2000-08-24Motion PublishingMotion Publishing20480289USD$2.89283USD$2.83370011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewcSJck3QKgXgrAy2tC4r6bmovp%2B88MVaXvinXVWHsWUB320ymQpESDnP6kPgt8NNaFgkG7c7kOigv7C1rq%2FRiIA%3D%3D1195USD$11.95Usually ships in 24 hours4.04109679446003112001-11-29

A new poet on the rise!

"As we take this life long trip<br>The motions at times can make us sick<br>Love and Hate<br>And the thin line that may break<br>Can sometimes make us lose our faith"<p>The passage above comes from the opening of Terry O'Neal's new book titled, MOTION SICKNESS. Not only does it give meaning to what this collection of poems entails, but it sums up what happens to us emotionally when the complexities of life overwhelms us and cause us to lose our sense of direction and hope. Throughout this book, Ms. O'Neal takes us through the ups and downs associated with motion sickness with verses that deal with the misunderstanding men and women have about their roles in relationships, to what it really means to be and look black in America. The question why do bad things always happen to good people is what readers will recognize immediately about the private ponderings of the persona in the poem, "A Disguise." A sense of pride is felt for the stepmother in, "Bond With Me," as she vows to be the best parent she can be to her stepchild. While sympathy is given for the stepmother who feels threatened and helpless by the presence of an ever-controlling maternal mother in the poem, "No Win." But in spite of all the chaos and problems we encounter in life, Ms. O'Neal also reminds us that there are some traditions and expectations we have in our lives such as momma's good down-home cookin' outlined in the poem, "Back Home" that brings comfort and joy which sustains us.<p>Overall, Ms. O'Neal presents a collection of poems, which addresses life's trials and tribulations in hopes that it brings enlightenment and more understanding to human life. MOTION SICKNESS is a smooth easy read. Still, knowing that motion sickness can be a jolting experience for most, I was expecting this collection to match its title and be more compelling in terms of form, rhythm and timbre. I simply feel the title of this book carries more impact than the poems themselves.09679446004002001-11-18

Wonderful Collection

Terry O'Neal shares her collection of poetry in her first book <br>entitled Motion Sickness. It is a compilation of poems that range in <br>topics including relationships between black men and women, how to be <br>comfortable being yourself, and instilling self-esteem in your <br>children while they're young. It also covers the arenas of loving <br>and losing someone to death, being true to yourself, and having faith <br>in yourself and in God. <p>To discuss each of the poems in the book would take away from the <br>book, but not to mention some of my favorites would do an injustice <br>to this nice collection of poetry centered on everyday emotions and <br>feelings. Some of those that I was fond of and that "stuck" with me <br>are below along with my interpretation of them. <p>The Honor - teaches us to love black men despite the things they do <br>that we may not like or agree with. <p>Common Thoughts/World War Ways - these poems teach us that we <br>shouldn't focus on living up to the standards of others or on being <br>better than someone else. We should simply be ourselves and not <br>worry about what others think.<p>Kind Words - reminds us to be cordial and friendly with those we <br>encounter on a day-to-day basis. I REALLY enjoyed this one because <br>it reminds me of people you pass in hallways, stores, and other <br>places that walk by you without any sign of greeting. <p>Little Black Child - a mother's plea for her child's self-esteem. I <br>really enjoyed this poem because I believe it's important to instill <br>a sense of self-esteem in children while they're young. <p>Motion Sickness - speaks of a desire to move on with life without <br>repeating previous pain and trials of the past. <p>Back Home - talks of the good ole cooking you get back home and how <br>it feels to go back after being away for a while. This is another of <br>my favorites of the book because everyone knows there is nothing like <br>good home cooking! <p>Boomerang - teaches us to do good things even though they may not be <br>reciprocated or appreciated. The main lesson is to continue them <br>because in the end you will be rewarded and reap the benefits of your <br>kindness. <p>Faith in You - a parent's message to their child letting them know <br>that they can do anything with faith in God. Also, it tells of the <br>parent's faith that the child can do anything they set their minds to <br>do. <p>Those are only a few of the poems that are in this collection and I'm <br>sure every reader will find quite a few that personally touch them <br>and reflect their feelings about the same topics. Ms. O'Neal closes <br>the book with Lesson's Learned; short passages of lesson's she's <br>learned throughout her life. Of those listed, my favorite and one I <br>try to live by myself is: "never put all of my faith into one <br>person. It is too much pressure on them and a big disappointment to <br>you." <p>I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to other poetry lovers and <br>also to those who like to reflect on life. I look forward to future <br>works by Ms. O'Neal and commend her on a job well done. <p>Reviewed by Tee C. Royal for AALBC.com09679446004002001-09-26

Motion sickness

I think the book does a great job of capturing those day to day situations that we think often, but dont really know how to express.09679446004002001-03-13

Relatable Poetry

Terry O'Neal has written a book of poems that most anyone can relate to because she shares heartfelt emotions about the pain of a broken friendship, or how someone who isn't Black cannot know what it feels like to be Black. She's pretty direct, with a teensy bit of a lyrical touch, but her words are still effective. It's an overall nice book of poetry and is recommended.Motion Sickness is an easy reading poetry book that every one can relate to. All of our challenges, feelings, and emotions are components to the Motion Sickness roller coaster. It is about the trials and tribulations and the ups and downs that we go through in our everyday life... why we cry and what we love about life... our children and our mates; as well as everything we hate. It brings forth our true feelings and puts them into words.10287United States10285Single Authors10248Poetry17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books10259General10248Poetry17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books713402011General AAS10248Poetry17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books997220th Century9966Poetry9822United States10311World Literature17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books9974African American9966Poetry9822United States10311World Literature17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books725800General9966Poetry9822United States10311World Literature17Literature & Fiction1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0773732454http://www.amazon.com/Motion-Sickness-Memoir-David-Layton/dp/0773732454%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D07737324545218119David LaytonHardcover97807737324520773732454StoddartEnglish2195USD$21.95Stoddart1Book2001-07StoddartStoddart4347USD$43.47314USD$3.141300003.55107737324541002004-03-29

What a self-conscious, self-obsessed bore the author is

It's like a really boring Mummy Dearest tell-all scandal book with no stars and no scandal - the poor dear was forced to traipse around Europe as a child, how awful.<br>The guy from Salt Lake City hit the nail ont he head when he said: Reviewer: A reader from Salt Lake City, UT USA <br>This is an unbelievably boring childhood recollection of a boy with a poet father, who is hardly ever in the picture anyway. The jacket blurb raves about descriptions of a family friend, Leonard Cohen, but these descriptions consist of no more than a few lines when he happens to drop by the house. Overall, a big disappointment.07737324545002001-08-13

fascinating read!

Surprisingly enough, the children of sixties parents have been largely silent. David Layton's fascinating memoir more than fills the gap.The book is full of energy, originality, humor, emotional intelligence.Once started, it's impossible to put down - I read it in one marathon sitting. Here is a new writer whose work I will follow with great interest.07737324545112001-04-13

What a find!

This is one of the best memoirs I've ever read. It's relentlessly honest, very funny, touching, beautifully written. David Layton's images are highly original and striking. This memoir is also one of the few written by kids of 60's parents and it takes a hard yet sympathetic look at what it was like to have unconventional parents. It's also impossible to put this book down once you've started it.07737324545222001-04-07

great read!

what a wonderful inspiring book! i bought it with the hopes of presenting it to my book club as the book we should read, but finished it long before the date of our next meeting! i appreciate layton's portrayal of his childhood - he uses gentle humor to approach serious hurts. a great read!07737324541242000-04-28
