Good but not about dogs
This book is a compilation of Grogan's articles from the Philly Inquirer. It is a very enjoyable and quick read but it has little to do with dogs. If you're looking for a book about the bond between humans and their 4-legged friends, consider looking elsewhere. If you're looking for a series of lighhearted shortstories about Grogan's life and his observations about the world around him, pick ...

Much better Italian cookbook than I expected, and I am tough critic on Italian cookbooks
A passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years, concentrating on Italian cooking for the last 10 years, writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry". With more than 500 cookbooks in my collection I am usually disappointed in my recent cookbook acquisitions. I am also very tough on ...

It's Not Just For Kids
You don't have to be a kid 9-12 years old to giggle, shake your head in disbelief, and cry while you read this book--an adaptation of MARLEY AND ME. This is a testament to author Grogan's writing skill. Grogan never underestimates his readers' vocabulary and comprehension of complex ideas. He doesn't "sugar coat" anything; kids and adults appreciate that. He relates his story through a full ...

My first exposure to John Grogan and Marley
When one of my students insisted I read this book to the class, I admittedly did so with a grain of salt. I mean, how many naughty doggy stories can anyone possibly write? I had never heard of John Grogan and was not at all sure of what to expect. What I read has to be one of the most charming, heartfelt, and hilarious stories ever written to children about a dog. In simplified, child-friendly ...

Roughage Reigns
In The Fiber For Life Cookbook, acclaimed natural foods author Bryanna Clark Grogan's challenge is to make us believe that "fiber" and "gourmet" can be used in the same sentence. With all of the attention focused on protein, fats, and carbohydrates today, fiber has been virtually ignored (except for Weight Watcher's, which made the connection between fiberous foods and weight loss many years ...

Oh, those 1 star-reviewing crackpots
John Grogan is a wonderful writer. This book is honest, funny, poignant and touching. His story is peeled to the truth, and about real life. Not everything goes smoothly, and just because it didn't with Marley, there's no reason to assume Grogan and his wife loved their dog any less. It is no surprise, though, that every crackpot who thinks he/she knows better, would come out here, scream like ...

Missed hearing from Griffin and Sabine
Once again, as he did in his Griffin and Sabine trilogy, Nick Bantock combines, in a most clever manner, both mystical thoughts and ideas using letters and postcards in his newest book, The Gryphon. With wonderful illustrations of stamps from far away places and beauiful calligraphy on notes which fold out from actual envelopes, the author engages his readers with further tales about Griffin and ...

Northanger Abbey: Janeites rejoice in this light and lively tour de force
Northanger Abbey is a gem. Jane Austen (1775-1817)has written a charmiing little novel about a charming little lady named Catherine Moreland. Catherine is 15 as the novel begins in Wiltshire. She and the hilariously stupid Mrs. Allen go on a six week trip to nearby Bath to take the waters. Catherine meets the fashionable and fast Isabella Thorpe. Catherine dances with the clergyman Henry Tilney ...

Good dog, Marley!
I purchased this book for my 5 year old niece because I loved the adult version of Marley and because she just loves my two dogs. She thought the stuffed Marley that came with the book was adorable and played with it for a long time, even after she read the book. This is a great book for children around the age of 4-5. The drawings are wonderful. If you are thinking of getting a puppy for your ...

Bryanna Clark Grogan kicks butt in the kitchen!
EXCELLENT! A must have. I have been vegan for a little over 7 months now and this is the first book I've found that is consistently good, fast, healthy,economical,and so delicious that even my non-vegan husband didn't pull a face when I presented him with the carrot-oat patties and brown gravy. Recipes for substitutes for egg, meat, fish, cream, and cheese are found throughout the text (the ...

Review of set, not specific volume
Let me start by saying that I have owned the full 12-volume set for about a year and use it quite frequently as a resource. To be fair, I have yet to use this particular volume. However, as there seem to be no competent reviews on the set as a whole, I did want to add my impressions of this terrific resource. I can say that I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the 12 volumes in this set. ...

I LOVE this cook book & I am NOT a Tofu fan !
When someone says TOFU I say YUCK! No Way! But I will tell you that this cookbook is excellent! Tofu and all! Everything I have made tastes great. I made a full mexican stlye meal for my family and extended family (all will NOT eat tofu) and they all loved it. They took the left-overs home. I never did tell them that I used tofu or that is was vegitarian. I used tofu, that soybean meatless meat ...

GREATEST BOOK EVER!
Marley & Me is an EXTREMELY good book. It's about the author's life with his wife. They want to start a family, so they get a dog to see if they could take care of something. They bring Marley home. The first few weeks go well, then everything went from bad to worst. As Marley grew older, he ate the weirdest things, women's under garments, a 24k gold necklace, a comb, and much much more. ...
