3 | almost there but not quite. Few pics, some omissions, could use more discussion | I have always been one to maintain a robust pantry, and I do have a list of expected items to keep on hand in the fridge or freezer. Between not wanting to spend my life taking trips to the grocery store (I live in country), and being a bit of a prepper, this Essential Pantry Cookbook piqued my interest.

4 | easy to read & understand, some extra meaty parts, good info overall | A wealth of information on the benefit of vitamin C. Interesting additional information on how it has been used in cancer patients, and why it is not readily used. It is a quick read, fairly meaty in spots. I have been using vitamin C consistently for years, and with the information I have gleaned from this book I have... | [] | 0983772800 | 0983772800 | AF2BLE54TEMGZ546U763ZHZRXC4A | 1,619,645,802,719 | 6 | true |
5 | Great way to get out of comfort zone, & shop ingredients,make meals in an organized way | Fantastic!!!! Make meals ahead of time, prepare foods & ingredients ahead of time, or put it all together as you go. You decide. Each recipe has a small thumbnail colored picture of the finished dish. There are larger pictures peppered throughout.

3 | decent variety of recipes, good mains, 5 ingredients, no pictures (just a couple) | Not limited to this recipe book, but why are authors so adverse to including pictures? I can go on pinterest and find recipes, so to actually buy a book had better have something to offer over something pretty much free. Many of us eat with our eyes and are motivated to cook something based on how it looks. Many of us ... | [] | 1647399785 | 1647399785 | AF2BLE54TEMGZ546U763ZHZRXC4A | 1,618,418,232,067 | 17 | false |
5 | a primer for diabetics, or prediabetic, or anyone looking to understand it all better | Glad I picked this up. I happened to be looking for a diabetic recipe cookbook.

5 | A clear picture for EVERY recipe, lots of info, great assortment of recipes | Love America's Test Kitchen. I appreciate the wealth of information as it is a teaching book not just a book or recipes. Skill level? It varies. Be motivated and pay attention to their directions.

5 | psychological thriller is a classic | I hadn't read the book, and I only just barely remember the movie.

So I am secretively (lol) reading up on chicken keeping just in case I lose my mind and change my mind. I thought this book on breeds would give me a primer on well, chicken breeds.

3 | Its ok. More weakness than stregnths, but i got through it. | some weakness in dialogue-- annoying punctuation, and phrasing. I felt all of that was jarring.

3 | middle of road rating, of "ok" | A few bits of worthwhile info, but otherwise didn't take a lot away from it.

5 | fun mystery. Enjoyed getting lost in a good, quick moving story. Good stuff | Clever title.<br />I love a fun, light, quick moving mystery. This is not quite a cozy mystery- but not a total dark thriller. I enjoyed it.

3 | oddly interesing; I suppose everyone has their own take away on it. | I find it... interesting in a curious sort of way. I can't abide by using it for sound medical knowledge in modern age, but it is intriguing to learn of a different time and way of thought in regard to medical practice of the sort of that time--medieval.

5 | multifaceted workout for the brain | Grab a pencil (with an eraser)- I like sticking a mechanical pencil into the spiral for safe keeping. I keep a binder clip and a sticky note pad with this spiral bound book. I use the pencil so I can make adjustments as I work through a puzzle. I use the binder clip to hold my page and to keep the sticky note pad with... | [

5 | easy with progressing difficulty; nice brain exercise | Full color, glossy photos in a medium sized spiral bound book. Basically, just spot the differences between the two similar photos. It is a light weight, fun, non stressful form of both entertainment and brain exercise. Small enough to toss into a bag and bring it to waiting rooms to pass the time. Or a little boost of... | [] | 141279966X | 141279966X | AF2BLE54TEMGZ546U763ZHZRXC4A | 1,557,770,968,782 | 9 | true |
4 | 66 brain teasers with explanations and answers | My brain was feeling a bit fuzzy, and figured it was time to start giving my aging bean a workout. I decided to research and add in some thinking challenges via puzzles, games, and word problems. I bought this book by Martin Gardner because I am already a fan of his. I love how he appreciates the sciences and skepticis... | [] | 0486281523 | 0486281523 | AF2BLE54TEMGZ546U763ZHZRXC4A | 1,557,770,348,085 | 19 | true |
5 | freaky fun | When I started the first book in the series, I knew I was in for an interesting, fun, thought provoking experience. It hooked me from the start, and it was seriously hard to put down. The entire trilogy is a story that involves technology, government, mysticism, and relationships. A bit of a thriller; definitely a page... | [] | 1479171050 | 1479171050 | AF2BLE54TEMGZ546U763ZHZRXC4A | 1,557,506,515,242 | 0 | true |
5 | quick paced govt/mystical/tech thriller | This is the second book in a quick paced trilogy. If you have read the first one and enjoyed it, then you will definitely want to keep going to see how this story plays out. Such a fun, thought provoking read. I began reading this story when it came out back in 2011. The technology in the book was just before it emerge... | [] | 1466374187 | 1466374187 | AF2BLE54TEMGZ546U763ZHZRXC4A | 1,557,506,026,392 | 0 | true |
5 | the story, the chracters.. all lingers well past finishing it | This is the first book in a quick paced trilogy. Such a fun, thought provoking read. I read this when it came out back in 2011. The technology in the book was just before it emerged into our own homes and lives. We're not quite there yet, but it is interesting to reflect back on what I read and now what I know now.

5 | lots of recipes and pictures, easy instruction | I've never made my own power/energy/trail bar until now. I had purchased a little silicone trail bar maker and picked up this book at the same time. I find I am more apt to make a recipe if I have it in print form over finding something in the internet. This book is full of recipes- quite an assortment. There are also ... | [] | 189110554X | 189110554X | AF2BLE54TEMGZ546U763ZHZRXC4A | 1,557,325,876,460 | 5 | true |
3 | not bad, just not impressed | I was recommended this book from from a friend who typically has similar interests to mine. I grabbed this as a Kindle version, as I love reading fun story in the dark while everyone else is sleeping. I was REALLY looking forward to this! BUT,<br /><br />I was not impressed. It was kind of flat (story, characters) and... | [] | B007FZSU0K | B007FZSU0K | AF2BLE54TEMGZ546U763ZHZRXC4A | 1,557,158,956,013 | 0 | true |
4 | histoty and time travel are fun combination | I haven't a lot to say from one story to the next. I have been ordering them one at a time when I am in the mood for this type of book. It is basically, time travel AND history, which is a neat combo. I will say they are not fantastically written, but I feel bad judging as I really do enjoy the tales told. I can tell t... | [] | B0072658HK | B0072658HK | AF2BLE54TEMGZ546U763ZHZRXC4A | 1,557,158,120,599 | 0 | false |
