Dine out in San Diego with no guilt!
(...) This book doesn't just list single menu items from restaurants you've never heard of, but lists several menu items from numerous well-known restaurants, such as one of my personal favorites, Acapulco. They even show you how to eat healthy at Jack-In-The-Box, which is home of ... | 45 stars |
Lovely words, awful characters
This has not survived the test of time. While it's easy to see why this was a popular story from the 19th century up to the 1950s, reading it now is like listening to cat negotiating its way out of a tangled quilt cover, amusing yes, but ultimately awful and frustrating.The motivations o... | 12 stars |
Excellence
Pure mastery in words revealing the essence of life. Very simply, this book speaks to everyone. It doesn't matter who you are or what you believe. It brings tears to me each time I read it, because if your mind is open, you will achieve a feeling of higher existence upon completion of your reading. I hope y... | 45 stars |
Don't read all 475 reviews, read these books!
__________________Oddly enough, Amazon thought I'd not reviewed this.I read these books at least five times in order when I was in my teens and reading fiction. Not only did these books create the fantasy fiction genre and popularize the sword and sorcery genre (Gor, Conan... | 34 stars |
Classic
I have purchased so many books lately, but I think this classic book is where the popular line, "I love you to the moon... and back" was derived. | 45 stars |
One of the most amazing books I've read.
It keeps you interested to the point that you can't put it down. It also can lead you in the wrong direction; of what is going to happen next. This also keeps your nose in the book. I would like to see more of this mystery of confusion | 45 stars |
A surprise
I received a gift in the post of this book with quite a few pictures and thought that is a book I will read to an hour or so. It took me into the main character after about 7 or eight pages. It gives encouragement to follow through with your ideas no matter how you see then conflict with another ppersons po... | 45 stars |
A brilliant version
Paul Giamatti's reading of this book is brilliant. He captures the humor, the insanity, and the tragedy of this sad tale completely. His voice acting ability is remarkable and has spoiled the other CDs that I own of the PKDick books. It was never difficult to discern who was speaking, male or femal... | 45 stars |
daily inspirations
I read this book daily, first thing in the morning, and find that the words Helms uses usually lead to some good, deep thinking about how I approach life, both the good and the bad. I've sent it to several friends and like the fact that we are sharing, quietly and privately, in the same initial thou... | 45 stars |
As good as it gets
This is not a book for faint of heart. No one was better at invective than Mencken, and his defense of women is far more of an attack on men than a defense of the "unfair" sex, as Ambrose Bierce signified our better half. Mencken's basic argument goes something like this: women are pretty ... | 45 stars |
Look elsewhere
CHARMED is perhaps the worst anthology I have come across. Three of the stories are cures for insomnia. The one story that is entertaining contains disturbing elements better left out of romances and also defies credibility."Bridal Jitters" by Jayne Castle: This was not the story to read in or... | 12 stars |
"Canst thou by searching find out God?"
Whether from crisis-of-faith or mid-life crisis, fifty-seven-year old Ken Carpenter has reached a point in his life where he questions everything, even his fundamental belief in God. Raised as a Baptist, Ken has spent the years of marriage and family doing the expected, an insur... | 34 stars |
Great insight on sin
In this book, Charles Finney deals with how guilt is measured according to the light we have. He also covers God's anger, the danger of hardening the heart, and what it means to persist in sin. He covers these topics and more in a way that leaves an impression on ones mind and heart. I recommend t... | 45 stars |
The best heart healthy cookbook you'll ever find!
Due to a recent heart condition my doctor told me to lose weight. I wanted to go on a low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-sugar and low-sodium diet, but I thought by doing all of that I would never eat good foods again. Boy, was I wrong! I purchased the American Heart Associ... | 45 stars |

Don't use the book
I bought this book in September 2006 and In November, tried the Simple Microwave Fudge (page 112). Made a notation saying:"Don't make again. Kept in freezer - too soft." I wrote to David Jones, President of Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen, and he e-mailedsaying that "The softness you describe comes fr... | 01 star |
Herter's "Professional Fly Tying and Tackle Making Manual"
Geo. L. Herter's "Professional Fly Tying and Tackle Making Manual and Manufacturers Guide", or a similarly titled publication, was possibly used as an introduction to fly tying by more begining tyers prior to the 1960s than any other book. The book was publish... | 45 stars |
Can't believe I waited this long to read it!!
This book is amazing!! For a 1,000 page read it just zipped by....the plot was interesting, the characters very well described. I finished the book and watched the movie the same night. Neither one was a disappointment!! | 45 stars |
Forgery.
The Protocols are a scurrilous anti-Semitic tract produced by the Russian and British secret service around 1903. Of interest mainly as a piece of forgery and plagiarism, actually put on trial in Berne in 1935. Buyer beware! | 01 star |
The Kite Runner - A Modern Day View Of Afganistan
This book is a fabulous reminder of how important truth and friendship is. In Afganistan, the author guides us through his childhood and gives us a true insight on what it was like to live there before and during the Russian invasion. Apart from the history, the writer... | 45 stars |
Mirthless "House"
America and Europe of the 1800s were stiff, gilded, formal place, full of "old" families, rigid customs and social transgressions. Especially for women.And nobody chronicled them better than Edith Wharton, who spun exquisitely barbed novels out of the social clashes of the late nineteenth century. "T... | 45 stars |
surprisingly good
Sea Swept is the first of the Chesapeake Bay series by Nora Roberts. Cameron, Ethan and Phillip Quinn were all adopted by Ray and Stella Quinn as troubled teens. Now their widower father has died in a car accident that some suspect was suicide, leaving behind Seth, a difficult 10-year-old boy who loo... | 34 stars |
Jordan Fans Need to Get Over Themselves
After reading the reviews, I was stunned at the sheer volume of positive reviews given in an intellectually stimulating fashion. I was also appauled by the negative crticism. I certainly understand people not liking a book, but it seemed the only reason anyone gave for not likin... | 45 stars |
Incredibly AWE inspiring!
Mandala: Luminous Symbols for Healing, by Judith Cornell, is absolutely the most incredibly beautiful book I've ever held in my hands. Holding and looking at it, even before reading, is like a sacred experience. Is it the beauty of the lay-out and illustrations? The very real spiritual impact... | 45 stars |
This was a great book!!!
This book was very touching and heartwrenching... the reason for it being only four stars and not five is because of Anne Jewell... her character was very possesive... I understand her need to protect her, but she was too possesive... Her traumatic experience, and her character growth saved th... | 34 stars |
Lord of the Flies
If you are a William Golding fan, or you desire a novel jam-packed with action and excitement from cover to cover, you will love Golding's most famous novel, Lord of the Flies. In this literary masterpiece, Golding takes an imaginative look at the life of young boys in an extraordinary situation: wit... | 34 stars |

I found this book offensive
There are two hypothetical families that the book follows throughout the course of the program. Lengthy backstories are given for both. One is a family where the wife dropped out of jr college when she married, and supported her husband financially through college, dropping her job as a sec... | 01 star |
Venus in Transit doesn't cast a long shadow
I read e: The Story of a Number and Trigonometric Delights from Eli Maor and found both to be well written and enjoyable. With the transit of Venus approaching, the previous experience with Eli Maor brought me to his latest book. The writing style is the same, clear, fluent,... | 23 stars |
You couldn't ask for more information on this subject
Petroski is more than a little obsessive. He has the ability to collect an astounding amount of information on truly arcane topics. He is not necessarily the most riveting author, though. It comes as no surprise to see the number of engineers who rave over his book... | 23 stars |
Dissapointing
Having read several of the series Tracy Hickman co-created with Margaret Weiss, I expected much of this new series.My expectations were not met. The writing style is bland and forced. The world is interesting enough, but the concept of several worlds linked together has already been done in a previous se... | 12 stars |
An adventurous, suspenseful story!
I would recommend this book to readers that like adventure books. It talks about exciting events and I would also recommend this book to readers who like suspense. Science experiments and clues are included in the story. I did not know what was going to happen until the end of the st... | 34 stars |
Excellent
I am trying to learn a bit of Spanish and from the "Look Inside" feature on Amazon this book looked an excellent quick visual reference to learn Spanish words. It definitely is, and the visual descriptions are really helpful and well-organized. For instance one can look at specific pages to learn useful word... | 45 stars |
oh my
I'm going to read it to my 6 1/2 year old now.I read this book in norwegian when I was 8, sitting in a farm house kitchen in Soknedal, Norway. I was on a one week visit witha family there. Tears streaming down my face and a totally different world opening to my young mind.My life would have looked different if I... | 45 stars |
This is the book where the series really hits its stride
Death in a Strange Country is a richer, faster paced, and more satisfying novel than the first in the series, Death at La Fenice. It involves the investigation into the death of an unidentified man found floating in a canal in Venice. As the book progresses, we ... | 45 stars |
A funny, enlightening look at cats and the web!

In the Shadow of A Big Man
Once while visiting Alaska with my family, we saw coming out of a bar a young woman in a peasant blouse who was extremely well endowed above her waist. Later, I asked my five-year-old son what he thought about the woman. "Dad," he said, "those things were so big my little eyes couldn't even ... | 45 stars |
Amazing!
Frezzato is amazing at what he does. The figure studies and the expressions are emotive and beautifully done. I love to study this book for both gestural and character design reference. Thanks Frezzato for being awesome! | 45 stars |
Typical Koontz
This story primarily revolves around a Vietnamese detective story writer, the odd waitress he encounters, and the rat-like thing trying to kill them. It involves several Dean Koontz staples (California, rain, most character's names end with an "ee" sound, the dog saves the day, etc.). I liked ... | 23 stars |

Exactly as it was promised!
This book came in, and I was blown away! Not ONLY is it exactly as it is photographed, but it cost less than a paperback version. The illustrations are spectacular, the cover art is exquisite, and the quality of this used copy is immaculate! I would DEFINITELY recommend this seller for anyo... | 45 stars |
Exciting read
I thought that this book was very entertaining. I really liked the way the author posed as a model. The only thing I would have liked more of was a bit added focus on the underground scene in Europe. | 45 stars |
An interesting story, but told in a stilted manner.
While Golden has come up with an interesting story, there is much that is repetitive in this tale of a geisha's development and tribulations. I also found many of the characters lacked complexity, and the twists and turns of the story quite predictable. | 23 stars |
The Jeffrey Journey
I started reading this book with my own experience of knowing someone who had lived their life with SMA and subsequently having lost that friend to Type II of the condition. Her loss had greatly influenced my decision to get involved in doing what I could for others who are living with SMA. This ve... | 45 stars |
Very, very very good.....
Much else has been said. Hardy in this book describes better than anyone I have ever read, the experience of being in love. Not one sentence, not one paragraph and not one scene: It is full of the description-excellent.... Of course, this tragedy was panned by the Victorian press as pornograp... | 45 stars |
Where The Red Fern Grows
Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls is a well written book. It is about a poor boy and his relationship with his two dogs. Billy and his two dogs go hunting and have some exciting adventures. Together they captured coons and had exciting fights. Can Billy and his two dogs win the gold cup... | 45 stars |
Erratically brilliant
I have to say that this novel definitely made in an impact on me. I am not generally a reader of horror or the macabre but I made an exception in this case because of the tie in with Silence of the Lambs. Because of my lack of experience in this particular genre I am a little leery of making a ju... | 34 stars |
A Powerful portrayal of a Native American Experience

ANOTHER KAY SCARPETTA MYSTERY...
This is a somewhat interesting, Dr. Kay Scarpetta mystery, replete with its usual attention to forensic detail, as well as a myriad of subplots. Though not her best novel, it still manages to entertain the reader.Once again, Dr. Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner, finds herself on the h... | 23 stars |
Compelling in parts, but not an easy read.
This took me a long time to read. I stopped and started. There are three or four brain searing scenes where the madness of the central character comes to the fore. For these, the book is worth reading. I found the rest a bit tedious - perhaps a modern translation would increa... | 23 stars |
Light, easy reading
I have not read any other McNally novels, however, I have read other Lawrence Sanders' books. This book was a light, easy read, however, wasn't overly complicated or intriguing. The characters were enjoyable, if not eccentric. Good, but not great. | 23 stars |
Classic
One of my all time favorites. I have read this book multiple times, and I enjoy it each time that I do so. | 45 stars |
Really, you must be joking!!!
In reading the other reviews of this "Biography", I have to wonder if they all read the same book that I did. Some even went so far as to state that this is the best biography about Jimi that they have ever read! Please! No way.Perhaps I am being too harsh as it was written almost 25 five... | 12 stars |

I LOVED THIS BOOK.THE AUTHOR DID A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THE CHARACTERS.AS ALWAYS! MS.ALERS CONTINUES TO SHINE.

Just like I remember! (Only without my crayon scribbles in them.)
The same books I read as a child. These are the classics, so of course they are old fashioned! My 2 1/2 year old loves them and asks us to read them every night. I think she loves most when we tell her these were Mommy and Daddy's favourite books when w... | 45 stars |
GREAT NOVEL!
When I was a teenager I collected Alan Dean Foster books. He was my favorite author at the time. I have kept all his books. But in recent years I've reread all of them, only to sadly discover they're pretty juvenile and simplistic. They are all very readable, almost impossible to put down, with exciting p... | 34 stars |
Gritty British drama
this is a very interesting drama. It follows the genre of very raw ground level police work. It manages to tie the characters together in their personal and work lives | 34 stars |
A great followup
I really liked Kilgannon, by the same author, and wondered if the sequel would live up to the quality of the original. It did. In fact, it was even better than Kilgannon - more action, and a wrapup of all the details. Both are very suspenseful and I had to peek to see whose grave was mentioned in the ... | 45 stars |
Marcel Desaulniers has done it again!
CELEBRATE WITH CHOCOLATE is the latest addition to his collection of extraordinary, not-to-be-missed cookbooks for chocolate lovers everywhere. Is he a madman or a genius with chocolate? Probably both, but we don't care! 'Over the top' is the only way we want our chocolate! With r... | 45 stars |
The Universal Problem. . . .
I found this book very funny and entertaining. It really kept me guessing until the end (and that's hard to say about many mysteries these days). I like the characters' dry, wry senses of humor.The story was very well-crafted up until the end, where the solution is sort of dumped on the re... | 34 stars |
Atheistic religions of the east
Religion Without God by Ray Billington, Routledge, London, 2002,160 ff.This book, as implied by the title, focuses on the atheistic religious philosophies of the east - Buddhism and Taoism. Hinduism, which is generally regarded as a monotheistic religion, is also discussed because of it... | 34 stars |
Ricky Ricotta
My son is a Captain Underpants fan, so we tried the Ricky Ricotta and he loved it also. | 45 stars |
Fear and War
I am a fan of stories that pertain to war and suspense, but "The Red Badge of Courage" is not a typical war story. Instead, it is an account of a youth whose battlefield is his mind. The approach which Stephen Crane, the author, took surprised me, because I had expected a story in which the main... | 34 stars |
My Review on the Hobbit
The Hobbit was a story about a little hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. He goes on a faraway journey accompanied by thirteen dwarves and a wizard.

The Only 19th Century Author to Name an NFL Team

The Alienist
If you enjoy US History that occurs during the Age of Imperialism and the time period leading up to the Spanish-American War, then this book is a sure hit. In addition, if you really enjoy an excellent murder mystery, this is a book that has a "CSI meets the Gilded Age" sort of feel to it. I also happen t... | 45 stars |

A good book
If you are looking for much inside info on Fagen and Becker you will not find it here ....or anywhere for that matter. You will find much technical info as to how the recordings were made and that end of the business. It gave me great insight as to how they make such perfection and grace. | 23 stars |
I loved that drama between two families
I loved that drama about the feud between two families and barrier them to fall in love. Story is very interesting to me. It is not dull, boring. It is more surprising, twisted, interesting story. | 34 stars |
classic
Great book and a must-read IMO. If you have seen the movie but not read the book, GET IT! You will find some things are different, but no less intersting. I loved the LOTR series and am so glad I finally got around to reading this book! | 45 stars |
Great Author
Stephanie Bond is a great author and I have enjoyed reading many of her books. This is one though that would rank as my least favorite of her books.The main character was unbelievably gullible and unrealistic.She has a boyfriend who disappeared and stole her car when he went missing. In a pique because he... | 34 stars |
Full of activities ... for hours of reading
This book is excellent. It covers all the bases--practice with numbers, letters, shapes, opposites and more while using everyday objects and favorite characters to "teach" them all. Plus, there's the fun of lifting the "flaps" to see what's behind many di... | 45 stars |
Peters vs King
Normally I am a die hard Stephen King fan, now don't get me wrong I love him still but this past christmas my grandmother got me hooked on Elizabeth Peters "Amelia Peabody" series!

Hilarious, Try One You'll Be Hooked
Hilarious sums it up. I wasn't sure what I was looking for the first time I read a Stephanie Plum book. I think the book cover looked like it might have some humor. Yea, don't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes that works. Anyway, I was tired on so, so serious murder mysteries, I ... | 45 stars |
The end of abortion
Fascinating book about technology's use in aiding reproduction. The author takes us down the road science is paving that is clearly absent moral consideration. One of the most fascinating aspects, though, of the future of technology in reproduction is the coming of an artificial womb that will allo... | 23 stars |
Pulls You In From The Start
This book really pulled me in right from the start. It puts this question in your head and you find youself looking for the answer through the whole book. You do finally figure it out. This book was so exciting. I really felt for the main character and how she was able to make her life work... | 45 stars |
a classic surprise
I chose Jane Eyre because it was free and I had nothing to read. I ended up loving it and understanding why it is a well-deserved classic! | 45 stars |
Touching
It was so real, I could hardly believe it was written by a Caucasian man. I felt I was living in the Nitta okiya and going to parties along with Sayuri. Very impressive. | 45 stars |
So many themes, I don't know where to begin
After completely hating (and saying so in a previous review) Kawabata's Sound of the Mountain, I wanted to find out why he was selected for the Nobel Prize in Literature. I was not disappointed again. Snow Country is a deep, multi-themed, and ultimately satisfying novella.Ka... | 45 stars |
INTENSE POETRY
Joseph T. Carty's book Fragile Temple contains very intense poetry. He courageously exposes himself down to his very core. Could not stop reading this book until I read from cover to cover. As I read I certainly felt his many emotions spilling out of his poetic writings (at times, almost too vividly). E... | 34 stars |
Great read
Great read for all. I enjoyed it as a young child and have enjoyed it very much now as an adult. | 34 stars |
You won't get bored often.
This book is more a collection of short stories. Many of them are very funny, there was only one that I found my self getting bored with. | 34 stars |
Have you actually read this book?
All the reviews that I have seen that give this book one or two stars are making the same painful mistake. They argue that Phillip Johnson is arguing _for_ creationism, and _against_ science. Unfortunately, this is most assuredly not the problem with the book.Indeed Johnson makes it e... | 01 star |
One of the very finest contributions to this great series
Above all else, Patrick O'Brian is a patient writer. It is absolutely astonishing how slowly and carefully he is willing to develop his stories, amazing now when we have all of his books before us, and even more amazing when they were written, when he took year... | 45 stars |
Just Another Teen Romance
Have you ever dreamed of being heir to a throne? Mia hadn't, but suddenly finds herself with a kingdom to rule.

One Super Fantastic Book
While One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has a slow beginning (perhaps an attempt by Kesey to explain to his reader the maddening monotony of a mental ward,) it quickly picks up an intriguing plot centered around the observant Chief Bromden and the boisterous R.P McMurphy. When McMurphy bursts in... | 45 stars |
To Walk by the Seas of Mars

Great imagination and good for kids over 4 years old

A wonderful book
I'm 8, and my mom is typing my review. I think The Magician's Nephew is very heavy on the story of Adam and Eve. Like when Digory was tempted to eat the apple. But you don't have to be a Christian to enjoy this book. The Magician's Nephew has a lot of imagination in it. Like the Lion singing a birth o... | 45 stars |
Must Read
Am reading "the Mommy Myth- the idealization of motherhood and how it has undermined all women." BEST feminist book I have read in years! They hit the nail right on the head in this one, and do it with humor, too. I think it's a must read for mothers and non-mothers as well. They do an excellent job showing ... | 45 stars |
Good things DO NOT come in small packages
I was very disapointed in the book. Although the book contains many quality pictures, the actual size of the book was very disapointing. The book measures approximately 6" X 6" in total size, not what I was expecting. | 12 stars |
Intelligent read but no mystery
Dorothy L. Sayers' "Gaudy Night" was a fun and intelligent read. The author's writing was exceptional, she creates strong descriptive atmosphere, and her character images are on par excellence. Nevertheless, many of the clues did not lead up to what I believe would classify this book as... | 34 stars |
Absolute Garbage.
What a trashy read. I thought this book would be somewhat like The Nanny Diaries, which was a fun book. This book skewers a certain kind of woman found on the Upper East Side whose only ambition is to preside over benefit dinners, and to have her tiny, shiny-face photograph appear in the party pages ... | 12 stars |
EXCELLENT!
ThIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK AND MOST WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THIS VERY CLOSE TO THEM. BECAUSE IT DOES MIRACLES AND IT'S VERY GOOD. | 45 stars |
