Smoakin!!!!!1
Okay...first let me say that I absolutely hated Megans'Mark book 1 of the breeds series so I was very, repeat VERY hesitant to invest any more money into this author. Boy am I glad I did. I really enjoyed this book alot. I've never really read anything that had this level of the bondage/submission stuff so I considered this a learning experience at it's best. The relationship between ...

Parent-Wise Solutions, Inc., 2006

What is all the fuss?!
I'll keep it short and simple. I don't understand all the complaints and fuss over this book. They advocate using discernment and routine, not just one or the other. They emphasize that the husband and wife relationship must stay as the most important relationship to maintain a healthy family. They caution that children do not always know what is best for themselves and that parents need to ...

The Dangerous Alphabet

Neil Gaiman

HarperCollins, 2008

great
this alphabet book was almost reminiscent of that tim burton book for kids in that it picks up on a darker mood, but in my opinion it was done much better than tim burton's. it was about these two kids who go on an adventure in some sort of sewer and come across these monsters who want to do bad things to the kids, but they escape by the end. the book rhymes and there's one line per page, which ...

The way things used to be
Many, many years ago boys were taught this kind of stuff by their father's and their father's fathers. Boys are no longer introduced to this kind of helpful information. This book is beyond a helpful guide to knot tying and history. It is a well rounded piece of literary art. I have never read a book that teaches one how to build a bow and arrow on one page and how to treat a woman ...

The Weight Loss Cure
Kevin Trudeau knows what he is talking about. This book explains exactly why you crave food and how to stop the cravings. It may seem like a lot of work to get to the point you need to be, but it is worth it. I cleansed my body and was amazed how many of my on going problems disappeared. I am now a truly healthy person.

baby wise
I am a pediatric nurse practitioner and mother of 2. The Baby Wise book was recommended to me by a mother of 4 when I was struggling with my fussy 3 month old, who also had trouble going to sleep at a decent hour. I LOVE THIS BOOK! I started baby wise with my first child at age 3 months. Letting them "cry it out" is the most challenging yet most rewarding (for both child and parent) ...

Amazing read! A gold star book!

Daniel C. Dennett

Simon & Schuster, 1996

Unintelligent design explained
This book is a philosophical work rather than straight science, the author does an excellent job of looking at all the various species of darwinian theories and their mutations, from scientific,to pop culture to philosophical,and subjecting them to a harsh environment of critical thought and logic, so selecting out the fittest for survival at the end of the book.I may be a bit biased as I have ...

Best Book if not followed militantly
this was by far the best book we found for our new baby & our lifestyle. Unfortunately while i was in the hospital after delivering, the lactation consultant & midwife told me horror stories about this book saying that it leads to dehydration and possible death....well being a brand new mom, i put the book aside and blindly went into the first month of motherhood trying to figure out what to do ...

Villard, 2007

Dangerous to Read This to Dogs
This book is an endless source of levity and promotes enough loud laughter to scare your dog out of the room! It's so great I've already gotten 3 other folks hooked on it. My husband and I were reading one of these stories aloud the other day - the one about "How to Make Your Owner Look Like an Idiot" while Scottie slept at our feet. Or so we thought he was sleeping. The next day on his ...

Chuck Klosterman

Scribner, 2007

One of the most enjoyable collections I've ever read.
If you're familiar with Klosterman, then you probably don't need these review. If you're not, then I highly recommend that you start familiarizing yourself with either this book, or his "Sex, Drugs, and Coco Puffs." Both are quick, smart, and humourous books. Chuck's a talented writer. "IV' is his latest work. I'm eager for my next installment of Klosterman. If you're into pop ...
