Awesome for those seeking such a diet
I really enjoy this book because it's a natural way for me to keep weight off without having to try a crazy crash diet or exclude foods that I enjoy. Moderation is the key!

The first true crime book is still the best
Truman Capote arguably invented true crime, and still dominates with this spectacular classic. He took years to finish this book, his last book, and it shows in the brilliant prose. This is among my favorite books of all time. I recommend to everyone.

Blood Type Beverage and Food List Paperback book
My Husband and I have been eating the Blood Type way for over a year now and this book has helped us, especially when we are at the grocery store and at a restaurant. I keep it in my purse all the time. Alot of foods you eat all the time so they are easy to remember, but there are times one wants to be adventuresome so you need to look in the book. I think it is a necessity if you are serious ...

literary landmark
It seems that most of the negative reviews this book receives are holding it to the standards of commercial fiction. This is not commercial fiction, it is not supposed to be a Clint Eastwood western, and it certainly isn't meant for those who ignore the beauty of McCarthy's writing because they think this simile is too vague or that word too archaic. This is a difficult book - it is difficult ...

The Blood of Flowers
This is a gorgeous, well-crafted novel. You will not be able to stop thinking about the courage of the narrator, whose story transcends time. Modern women will identify with the choices she has to make and the consequences of being a person desiring full agency over her life.

Know your enemy
A basic battle tactic is to know your enemy. That' just what Harry has to do, learn about Voldemort. Why is he evil? Is Voldemort his real name? What is his connection to Harry and Dumbledore? All of these questions and more are revealed in this, my favorite book in the series.

Delving deeper into the mind of man.
Goodkind open our eyes to the true nature of evil! I've read many a book, but none reach me like this series has. The entire Sword of Truth series, sets a pretty high standard for epic fantasy, let along a good book series. Early books had some places that were a bit clunky, (it was the authors first books if I'm not mistaken), but don't we ALL start out something a bit green, and then hone ...

The impact of change on a crisis
Once again an astute analysis of the few very grim days in May 1940 when Panzers swept into Western Europe and the British chose a new leader to win the war. Obviously, it's similar to 'Five Days in London'. The message is similar: The selection of a strong, even though flawed, leader to rally the nation in a time of crisis. The heart of this book is the implied contrast between a leader ...

Horror, Mystery, Romance, Humor!!!
This book as it all, there are those moments when you heart stops because you think one of the main characters is in danger or where you are trying to figure out the mystery behind the Pagan Stone yourself or for them really. Then the romance in this book is so touching and care free that you are cheering for them from the beginning not to mention the humor between them as they work their way ...

Another Great Book About Anita Blake!
Blood Noir was one of my favorite books in the Anita Blake series. First of all the fact that you get to see more from Jason, who I have thought was one of the most lovable werewolves. Laurell K. Hamilton has a way of mixing romance with action and adventure in a way that doesn't seem completely pornographic. The story was well written and kept my interest from the second I picked the book up ...

Engaging Werewolf Fiction
I agree very much with E.R.'s review of this book- it is a wonderful story with a very engaging plot. I disagree with it being banned, especially when in comparison to today's television programming, but I'll leave it at that. If you don't mind a book containing what I believe is on par with today's teenage community, then I suggest reading this book. I myself have always liked vampires ...

Historical Fiction At Its Best
Blood on the River brought the Jamestown experience to life for my students. The use of primary sources to begin each chapter helped them to see exactly how historical fiction is created. In this case, each chapter was based on actual letters or excerpts from books from the early 1600s. The young Sam Collier is believable, and we rooted for him throughout the story. My hope is that the ...

Well Worth the Price
Whether or not you believe what the author presents, it is a fascinating read. This is the type of book that incites and individual to maybe question and hopefully dive deeper into their own investigation. Just as a heads up, the author's other book The Temple and The Lodge is not worthy of this initial writing and should be avoided.

A THINKING/CARING GUIDE TO THE PRESENT CONGO
Tim Butcher's book BLOOD RIVER was recommended by Amazon last summer and I bought it because I am fascinated by the Congo. Having read King Leopold's Ghost,In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz, Heart of Darkness as well as The Poisonwood Bible, I was intrigued by an update on the Congo, especially by someone adventurous (I did think crazy)enough to try to follow Stanley's journey across Africa from ...
