1 | Choppy and confusing read | The writing in this book is very choppy and sometimes it feels like the author uses big words for no reason. most of the time the vocab words are not defined in the chapter at all and have to be looked up in the back of the book.

5 | A practical and effective guide for working towards your goals | I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is a compact and condensed guide with lots of great ideas that can be easily integrated with daily life. I think it is much more practical than many other self help books in the market.

2 | Misleading information | I watched a Dr. Livingood video (long and laborious), but I was interested when he said that many big pharma companies (he named Pfizer and Bayer) made supplements with synthetic vitamins.

5 | My favorite novel | Written in the 1960’s, I loved this novel then and loved it even more 52 years later! Billed as science fiction for those who don’t read science fiction, that was true for me!

5 | For those who love Gershwin | This is a beautiful story of the lives of composers and the emergence of George Gershwin, as one who created operas and concertos that appealed to all music-lovers.

4 | A character study | I know nothing about surfing, so found getting some knowledge from all that great research by Theroux to be fascinating.

5 | A true picture | This well-researched, well-written novel of the outbreak of a pandemic is extremely timely, and answers the question - what would happen if it were not contained.

3 | Diasappointing | I was an immediate fan after reading The Expats, but this novel left me disappointed.

4 | A substantial read... | They say that when a novel based upon truth causes you to look up the characters and their story - to see their pictures and gain a better understanding of what is going on - it’s a substantial, engrossing, unforgettable read.

5 | A great read! | This was an intriguing story because it was unlike anything I had recently read. And an intriguing title - which made little sense to me until I was nearly halfway through.

3 | A bit difficult... | Although this is a very good translation, as translations go, I found the abundance of long, long sentences very distracting - sometimes reading them over twice to connect all the dots.

3 | Complicated... | For the first time reading about America’s early days, I felt stymied by not having read the other books in this series.

5 | Unbelievable... | This tale of Linda Taylor, the Welfare Queen, reads like a novel, and parts of it are real page-turners.

3 | Not great... | Lots of reasons to suspend believability in the main character, Fidel. Lucy and Desi snarled at each other throughout. Token mafia thrown in. I kept looking for some realism.<br /><br />I ordered this book because I had been in Havana in 1959-60, and was too close to what was going on, how the people felt, and Fidel’... | [] | 0997085533 | 0997085533 | AG5FGCIM6PBJX3JNDRKQMITZTIMA | 1,588,209,252,256 | 7 | true |
4 | About a real female hero | This is an historical fiction treatment of the story of Nancy Wake, who was one of the true heroes of WWII and the liberation of France. When we meet Nancy, she lives in Marseilles, and is about to marry a wealthy publisher, who is the love of her life. The Germans occupy France and the French Vichy collaborate with ... | [] | 1538733196 | 1538733196 | AG5FGCIM6PBJX3JNDRKQMITZTIMA | 1,588,204,079,935 | 1 | false |
4 | Very thorough explanation.. | Lots of menus for a cleanse - very specific about foods that should be avoided or can be added in later. Lots of great recipes for mouth-watering dishes. I would like more pictures - every chapter starts with a picture, but I like to see what I’m making. Very easy to follow both the explanations and the recipes.

4 | A unique reading experience! | You won’t be able to understand the first chapter until you finish the book - and then it’s worthwhile to go back and read it again. This is an unusual novel about people. Although there is May-December relationship as part - it isn’t a romance. Although there is a hotel ‘way out in the hinterlands of Canada and we ... | [] | 0525521143 | 0525521143 | AG5FGCIM6PBJX3JNDRKQMITZTIMA | 1,587,595,733,139 | 9 | true |
5 | A great read! | Wow - I must admit that the theme of this novel was not one that grabbed me right away - the grit and grime of a war torn Manchester, England in 1867. I had to talk myself into getting started. The novel is beautifully written - a very comfortable writing style, and a rare novel written in the present tense.

4 | A good read.. | I’ve read a lot of WWII historical fiction, and a lot of it has been repetitious. I had great hopes for this novel, and my hopes were more than pleasantly realized. This is a different slant on the era for me - it takes place very soon after the occupation of France by Germany. Many French entertainers were in a pos... | [] | 0778309339 | 0778309339 | AG5FGCIM6PBJX3JNDRKQMITZTIMA | 1,586,745,078,567 | 4 | false |

2 | Probably not for everyone | Just because you like mysteries with some fun and humor mixed in, that may not be enough to carry you through 459 pages. It wasn’t enough for me! There was too much fantasy, too much things didn’t always appear to be what they were, too many twists, and not enough meat. Perhaps I give myself away when I tell you tha... | [] | 1328466892 | 1328466892 | AG5FGCIM6PBJX3JNDRKQMITZTIMA | 1,585,861,662,467 | 0 | false |
5 | Unputdownable! | This historical fiction novel was inspired by a woman who actually discovered nuclear fission and provided the logistics and details that made it possible for US scientists to perfect the atomic bomb.

5 | One of the 2020 best... | Wow, historical fiction is great because it usually is inspired by true events - and that is the case here. This novel was inspired by the disappearance of a 4 year old back in 1913. Sonny was the son of one of the small community’s richest and most prominent families who searched him for years.

5 | One of the best! | I had become saturated with WWII books and put this aside for a while - now, I wish I hadn’t.

5 | Great, inspirational story.. | My nine year old grandchildren really enjoyed the story of David Attenborough and how he became a naturalist. They particularly like how he lived with the penguins.

2 | Vesuvius was interesting... | I was lured to read this novel by the setting, knowing very little about Mt. Vesuvius and the devastation it caused to the town of Pompeii. That, I found very interesting. I started losing believability in the characters as I was thrown back and forth between 79 AD and 1902.<br /><br />I realize that dialogue is very... | [] | 1250164737 | 1250164737 | AG5FGCIM6PBJX3JNDRKQMITZTIMA | 1,582,341,175,317 | 0 | false |
5 | A Napoleon Bonaparte learning experience... | Unless you’re a student of French history. 1844 to 1860, you probably know as much as I did about Napoleon, his wife, Josephine, and his finest General Bernadotte.

3 | Interesting historical fiction, but... | It’s complicated! Fortunately, the author supplies us with some background information on the political scene in Kiev from 2004-2014.

3 | Complicated and overly long... | After a couple hundred pages, I went back and read the author’s note about all of the characters - some are important, some will pass through and never be seen again, some appear from other novels - and, to help us out, she supplies a profile of most of the important characters in the back of the book.

3 | Prepare to suspend belief... | I’m sorry to join those who could not agree with all the hype about Perry’s latest novel.

4 | Not for the serious keto devotee... | Beautiful cookbook, lots of really appealing recipes - but many are higher in carbs than a true keto plan would allow.
