5 | This is not only beautiful but packed with interesting information | Gorgeous photographs, helpful gardening and cooking tips - I will be buying this next year, and probably the years after that :) Highly recommend | [] | 1631365320 | 1631365320 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,590,097,990,747 | 0 | true |
2 | Not nearly as interesting as I'd hoped | There's a reason this is not easily available - it's not all that good. It's basically a curiosity piece. Unless you are really interested in late Victorian stuff it's probably not worth the high price. | [] | B000UVEDZ2 | B000UVEDZ2 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,568,910,942,012 | 1 | true |
3 | Contents interesting, style not so much | Given you really can't find this material anywhere else, this book is an excellent purchase. But it suffers, like most translations, from a drop-off in style quality, and after a while the basic structure of switching back and forth between two characters gets old. Glad I bought it, but then I donated it to the local... | [] | 1847672353 | 1847672353 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,557,962,706,993 | 2 | true |

5 | Beautiful and very informative - - but NOT the book to start the practice | This is "Book Three" for a reason. You really need to start with Kum Nye: A Tibetan Yoga and then Joy of Being, otherwise you will simply miss the point of this very special book. | [] | 0898000068 | 0898000068 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,547,602,515,509 | 0 | true |
5 | Fantastic CLEAR exploration of Bruno, the Hermetic Tradition and its social importance | The writing is very dense, as one would expect, but also VERY CLEAR. E.g. I have not read a clearer summary of the Poimandres than in this book. Often I suggest borrowing from the library, but this one you will want to keep as it is a SLOW, deep read.

4 | Good but about 20% duplication of recipes and 75% duplication of other info across the 3 books in the series | 45 minutes is RIGHT! The food is excellent, the approach is very empowering (provides tons of ideas to experiment further) One caveat: she is heavy handed with salt and red pepper, I recommend halving the amounts of both in the recipes first time you cook them. | [] | 162634342X | 162634342X | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,516,213,774,575 | 5 | true |

5 | VERY tasty and practical, watch out for excess hot peppers and high salt. | This is the most USEFUL roast recipe thing I've come across in a long time. I've cooked about half of the items in it and they all came out delicious! One caveat: I find the recipes have far too much pepper (black or red) in them, so I suggest using no more than half the amount at least on your first try.

2 | Dark and dour, absolutely NOT for kids | HEAVY. Well written if terse, but ugly and depressing. I gave my copy away, didn't want to keep that dark energy in the house. Depressing read. | [] | 039360909X | 039360909X | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,506,615,954,675 | 1 | true |
1 | If you like the Peter Grant novels, do yourself a favor and DO NOT read this paltry thing. | EVERYTHING I loved about the actual Peter Grant novels is absent here - the nuanced text, the skilful character development, the short- and long-frame story arcs tightly linked, and the depth and grace of situational observation.<br />NONE of that is present in this cartoon snippet.

1 | Not much different from all the other compilations | Someone once said of the kama sutra - position 59 is like 58 but with your fingers crossed. The same applies to this as so many of these Bhajan based books - thousands of kriyas but they are very similar to each other and no one ever says why THIS one is better than THAT one for the purpose.

It's a required text in a course I'm taking and I'm finding it useful. | [] | 0814413404 | 0814413404 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,393,369,993,000 | 1 | true |
1 | AWFUL turgid impossibly bad writing! | If you absolutely have to "read" this, based on bad-accident syndrome, for your wallet's sake pick it up at the public library. I have seldom come across worse writing - the whole thing comes across as generated by a computer on Ativan. ZERO character development, dismally bad "plot" development, huge... | [] | 0143124862 | 0143124862 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,392,529,025,000 | 1 | false |

5 | DEFINITELY worth a try for computer-eyes | I spend 9 hours a day at my desk/computer and for all my diligent exercising THIS little program covers something nothing else has done. It's fun to have the variety of exercises, and by sitting the daily disk on the (included) paper stand sitting on top of the product box it's easy to see the disk and be reminded to ... | [] | 3932098188 | 3932098188 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,386,182,875,000 | 3 | true |
3 | A bit disappointing, borrow rather than buy | Not a bad read, but certainly not a great one.<br />Character development is pretty much completely absent, and even though the author clearly has done a fair amount of research into spirituality and perfumery, she certainly has missed the depth of the former, and after a bit her disquisitions on the latter become wear... | [] | 1451621302 | 1451621302 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,361,421,445,000 | 0 | false |

3 | Good but different from the previous three | Yes it is the same "soul" but a VERY different book. Very well written but if you are expecting the same "feel" as its predecessors you may be disappointed.<br />The "numinous" episodes basically make no sense unless you have read the other three books. Without that understanding this is a bodice ripper with explicit... | [] | 1451667213 | 1451667213 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,351,775,795,000 | 1 | true |
1 | WRitten by a BAIN executive - with all the social nastiness you'd expect | If you insist on reading this pernicious text, I strongly recommend you borrow it from the library rather than actually spend money on it. The author's positions include such unpleasant items as: union-negotiated higher pay is just a tax on consumers (never mind that union members are also consumers). | [] | 1591845505 | 1591845505 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,347,059,309,000 | 6 | false |
1 | I'd give it ZERO stars if I could | The lace reading has nothing whatsoever to do with the story, nor does the Salem setting. They are nothing but gizmos designed to get people to buy what is otherwise a duplicitous and unsatisfying narration by a female who turns out, not surprisingly, to be psychotic. NOTHING in this book is worth the effort of picki... | [] | B00394DOGG | B00394DOGG | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,338,578,660,000 | 3 | false |
1 | Like being the only sober person in a roomful of drunks | I got through about 75 pages of this before giving up. There might be a story under there somewhere, but it's so buried under the excessively personal characterisations that I couldn't find it before I became bored enough to not care. It came so highly recommended that I wanted to like it but just couldn't.<br /><br ... | [] | 039915874X | 039915874X | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,338,577,755,000 | 16 | false |
1 | WORSE than book 4 - save your money, get at library | This book has about one-fifth the "story line" even of book 4, and instead fills the pages with excruciatingly detailed descriptions of the bloody flux, greyscale, bad weather and maggoty food. NOT what one would expect from the author being touted as the "American Tolkein."<br />It's utterly unsatisfying, to the poin... | [] | 0553801473 | 0553801473 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,311,867,114,000 | 21 | true |
1 | Total waste of money, borrow from library if you want to read it | Of course I looked into it because of his mentor's recommendation. but the writing level is puerile, character development neglibible to dreadful (especially the female characters) and basically its energy level never gets off the ground. All the various creatures and "races" come across as gimicky and cardboard, and... | [] | 0316080683 | 0316080683 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,309,385,310,000 | 13 | false |
2 | Borrow from the Library, don't bother buying it | Nice idea, quite well researched though clearly mostly from shallow new-agey sources, but not well executed and the writing skills need serious work.<br />Characters are cardboard, very uneven quality of storyline development, and instead of an ending it just kind of stops. No resolution, no real explanations. And it... | [] | 0143118463 | 0143118463 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,300,232,764,000 | 1 | false |

2 | Overpriced here - buy new on Arica website for $25 - or not... | DEFINITELY do not buy "new" here as it is much cheaper via the Arica website.

1 | UTTER RUBBISH totally not worth the money | This is one of the WORST-written books I have every come across.

5 | SUPERB resource, desperately needed and highly useful | I first picked this book up when I was training for hospice volunteer work.

1 | Neither beautiful nor mysterious - DULL, unfortunately | I really liked "The Historian" and approached this book with enthusiasm, to be deeply disappointed. The story is lackluster and essentially pointless, and worst of all the 3 supposedly different voices that tell what passes for a story are completey indistinguishable. It's a trivial, insignificant project best suited ... | [] | 0316065781 | 0316065781 | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,270,222,095,000 | 5 | false |
1 | A real disappointment | If you're planning to get this book because of the TV series, don't bother - the relationship is very tenuous and not worth either money or time to investigate.<br />I did get this because of the TV series and while the first 100 pages or so were quite good the story got mired down VERY quickly and basically goes nowhe... | [] | 076532413X | 076532413X | AFBXVB2GIANS2DHWDK3HXISL2WEA | 1,255,037,152,000 | 9 | false |

4 | EXCELLENT teaching manual | This is a really worth while text book on self-hypnosis.

1 | Flimsy | This "book" reads like something that belongs on the Sunday comics page directly between Prince Valiant and Zits.
