not comic, this is art.
I am surprised that USA people watch this comic series in addition to the same title movie. As you know, Naushika's story don't finish to the movie. The truth story start from reading this comic. Even if Japanase read them, the story is a little difficult, but there are more wondeful things than the minus point. For instance, the drawing ways. Generally comic(Japanese MANGA) is simple drawing. ...

It should be required reading for those who have forgotten what our ...

I am a huge fan of David Sedaris and his essays on his life leave me laughing. The section on smoking was not only funny, but very truthful. I could taste the menthol while reading. Very descriptive-very hilarious!

The Official LSAT SuperPrep18 reviews
Law School Admision Council, 2007
Outstanding official prep materials from LSAT
The LSAT is sufficiently idiosyncratic in both the form and substance of its content that studying with anything other than the official, exams released by the LSAT board (LSAC) runs the risk of doing more harm than good. The problem with such advice until recently is that before the release of this book a couple of years ago, none of the official materials provided anything more than an answer ...

The Shack
I seldom completely read a book from cover to cover... but I read this book in its entirety. The story is real to me as I have lived some of these experiences that Willy shares about Mack, and his Trinity. Love and forgiveness...the tale of it all. Thank you for this inspiring and confirming book. Very well written! Dana Hardy

It is all about the journey
Personally, I love this book. I think anyone whose journey has been a rambling road can relate to this story. I found myself terribly jealous that she was able to spend this time traveling, finding herself and making peace with the negative thoughts.
I found myself laughing out loud throughout this book and have given it to friend's as a gift. It is definately a fun read but it is also one that ...

Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food614 reviews
Jessica Seinfeld
Collins Living, 2007
Wonderful!!
I read through a lot of reviews before writing mine. I've also used recipes from The Sneaky Chef so I even have a comparison. My kids eat very few veggies and I've had countless nights of my oldest boys crying at the table for an hour or more over cold veggies. My youngest is autistic and won't hardly eat anything. My husband is somewhere in the middle. The recipes do have to be followed exactly. ...

The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals439 reviews
Michael Pollan
Penguin, 2007
The Life of Corn and the Death of American Health
The author has four hypotheses about how we Americans may have become such dysfunctional eaters, and about how our food supplies and our diets came to be the way they are.
Although interesting, this book was not exactly what I was expecting. I was hoping Pollan would get deeper into how the collusion between the US Food and Drug Administration and Agribusiness have conspired to product the ...

I LOVED this book and I can't stop talking about it. It's a fantastic guide for breaking free of the corporate treadmill and making better use of your life. This book is my new bible.
That said, I realize that I am squarely in the target demographic for the message of this book. Many of the principles in the book would be nearly impossible to implement if you're a blue collar worker. This is a ...

Biology with MasteringBiology™ (8th Edition) (MasteringBiology Series)1 review
Neil A. Campbell, Jane B. Reece
Benjamin Cummings, 2007
Very Good if you can lift it
I completed my B.A. in biology over 30 years ago and got this book for self-study and to catch up with progress in topics outside of my work experience. The sections seem well written and illustrated. Since this is an introductory text it has sidebars and interviews meant to interest the intro student. I'd leave those out, if only to make the book less massive.

Andrew Doughty
Wizard Publications Inc., 2008
This is simply the best guidebook available!
I compared it with three other guidebooks, and this one is hands down by far the best. I also like his sense of humor, and his ability to give us foreigners a realistic taste of the local culture. It is down to earth, not superficial, and it must have been a lot of work to write this guide! The first thing I did when I arrived in Oahu for the second segment of my trip was to go to the bookstore ...
