3 | Good but basic advice in part one; reference in part two & most is common sense | This book is broken up into two parts.

3 | This should have been titled "How to Live with MS for Dummies" | I am disappointed in this book because, based on the title, I automatically assumed there would be an initial chapter on MS Symptoms and the disease itself.

4 | Fascinating read on the science behind chronic disease resulting from genetics, nutrition, etc. | This book is fascinating but it took me a long time to read due to its textbook like material.

4 | Interesting 2020 calendar with large day boxes for appointments | This is really an interesting calendar. It is both educational and functional. It is almost sepia-toned and is non-descript in the sense that it is not as colorful as typical wall calendars.

4 | Good examples of how to love children with disabilities in a way meaningful to them | I ordered this with my friend's severely autistic son in mind.

4 | Healthful advice with mostly smoothie and Japanese / Asian influenced recipes | I enjoy reading health books and books about healthful ingredients for the mind and body. This recipe book contains recipes ingredients that are designed to give a person a healthful glow and keep them looking younger.

4 | Excellent recipe book more for the "seasoned" home cook with a smattering of tool tips | I have mixed feelings about this book that I have been reading and reviewing for the last 35+ days. On one hand it is five stars because it is chock full of wonderfully rich recipes, two of which I made (pictured - Tortilla Espanola ala Michelle and Pots de Creme). On the other hand it is also full of great recommendat... | [

5 | A full-blown PEP TALK on how to become a GREAT LEADER from an obviously GREAT COACH | This book is inspiring to me. It is everything I believe in when it comes to not only living life but also being a great leader.<br /><br />The author provides quote after quote of great leadership advice in a small but very expensive (currently $24) book. These are just some of the multitude of quotes from him and oth... | [] | 1622181026 | 1622181026 | AFXF3EGQTQDXMRLDWFU7UBFQZB7Q | 1,536,412,560,655 | 3 | false |
4 | A totally FICTION work that makes me wonder what genetics humans will steal from other species in order to achieve perfection | This book is absolutely nothing like I expected.

4 | This book's intention is to get everyone talking about death and not making it such a taboo topic | I am one of those people who has been consumed with thinking about death since a very young age and those thoughts have increased as I get older.

4 | A remarkable and somewhat speculative account of the February 1856 sinking of the John Rutledge & its lone survivor | This is a remarkable recreation from historical accounts and the author's speculation of what happened when the John Rutledge sank on a voyage from Liverpool to New York in February of 1856. The author creates a narrative around historical accounts he gathered during his research. He used his imagination to effectively... | [] | 0306902001 | 0306902001 | AFXF3EGQTQDXMRLDWFU7UBFQZB7Q | 1,535,689,449,718 | 1 | false |
4 | Healthy herb book with esoteric ingredients & geared to a niche user | I love to read health books and this one on adaptogens is in that category.

3 | A business woman's autobiography that attempts to teach through her mistakes; it lacks the business inspiration I expected | This is more like one person's corporate autobiography than a self-help business book.

4 | After reading this, I feel like wildlife trafficking will never be eliminated no matter how much we educate the human race | I spent every evening over two full weeks reading this book.
