The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star257 reviews
Nikki Sixx

Pocket Books, 2007

Down to Earth
The day I heard Motley Crue I was addicted. My 1st show was at UCSB w/ Cherry Bombz way back in the day when people would say "who"..... I saw them many times after that. Nikki was my idol. After joining the Army and going overseas for a few years I lost touch with US bands in general. So......this book caught me up with what Nikki and the band were up too for my lost years. It is a very ... 		  
  







  
  
How to be a Super Hot Woman: 339 Tips to Make Every Man Fall in Love with You and Every Woman Envy You9 reviews
Mandy Simons, Emily J. Terry

Outskirts Press, 2007

Very helpful
I had to buy a second copy. I loaned my first copy to my sister and she wouldn't give it back. I work with pages and pages of words for a living, so I've never been the most self-assured person with other people. This book has given me confidence and a more positive outlook with respect to relationships. I can't recommend it enough. Editor of Michele Cozzens' award winning women's fiction A ... 		  
  







  
  
Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation93 reviews
Sheila Weller

Atria, 2008

Not a Boomer but definitely a fan...
I couldn't put this book down. I'm a 29-year-old who has been a Joni Mitchell fan since early high school when one of my mom's friends turned me onto her. My life was never quite the same, of course, and I'm not sure I'd like to know who I might be without the influence of her music, poetry, and general lifestyle. A good friend recommended this book. I had seen it reviewed somewhere, but ... 		  
  







  
  
The Little Book8 reviews
Selden Edwards

Dutton Adult, 2008

A must-read for all generations
This book is truly one that will inspire, change, and enlighten lives. It is certain that this story will go down in history as a timeless classic, one that will be passed from generation to generation. It's clear from all of the wonderful reviews that it's been receiving that this book is not to be overlooked. As an avid-reader of books, and very very critical of everything I read, THE LITTLE ... 		  
  







  
  
The Five People You Meet in Heaven1597 reviews
Mitch Albom

Hyperion, 2003

A Fan for Life
This is the mainstream style readers love to read and writers love to achieve. No critique needed. I'll just say I'll buy every single book this author writes from now on. Mr. Albom never disappoints. The Five People You Meet in Heaven is genius. Jealousy and professional criticism aside, the readers needs to decide for themselves. I did, and I loved it.

Essentials of Geology, Second Edition5 reviews
Stephen Marshak

W. W. Norton, 2006

Very readable, logical sequencing, great illustrations, fun.
This is the third of the textbook type of geology books which I have tried, and it is by far superior to the other two (both of which are very popular and well known.) The problem with the other two is that they begin discussing rock types before discussing plate tectonics and the forces which create and change rocks. Thus, much reference is made to concepts which were never introduced. Marshak ... 		  
  







  
  
The Memory Keeper's Daughter853 reviews
Kim Edwards

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006

Absolutely loved this book!
Well I'm shocked at how many have rated this book poorly and goes to show everyone has different likes in what they read. I have not been so interested in a book in so long. I could not put this down and became incredibly enthralled with each of the characters ... all for differing reasons. I almost felt as though I was somewhere mixed in, literally within, their lives. I understood them and ... 		  
  







  
  
Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001)58 reviews
Don Felder

Wiley, 2008

Take it to the Limit
I think Felder did a great job of putting his ego in the background and telling the story straight. Don and Glenn pushed the band from an equal partnership of five Eagles to the two Gods plus their hired hands Tim and Joe. Felder fought and lost. Yes he resents the heck out of them but at the same time is not so blinded by his anger (perhaps due to help from an able ghostwriter) as to present an ... 		  
  







  
  
Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time184 reviews
Valerie Bertinelli

Free Press, 2008

Real Story, Real Person
Yes, this book is a MUST HAVE! I too could not put it down (that's how I get with a book that grabs me). I read it all in the first week! Valerie has a way of telling her story that is so easy to read, so 'real', and so motivating!

Must have when you get text book
This is a must have for students that purchased the text book, gives them an opportunity to practice what they learn in the theory. 		  
  







  
  
Clapton: The Autobiography302 reviews
Eric Clapton

Broadway, 2008

An eye-opener for sure, but not arrogant at all.
I'm reading various negative reviews of this book, and I cannot believe that people are calling Eric Clapton arrogant in his writing. This book had its flaws, but Clapton's supposed "name dropping" and "arrogance" does not exist, at least not in this book. I'll say first that I love Eric Clapton's music. He's the reason I'm playing my guitar, and he's taught me a lot about music. I'm only 24, ... 		  
  







  
  
Kindergarten Rocks!6 reviews
Katie Davis

Voyager Books, 2008

Cute book
My 5 year old son loved this book before starting kindergarten this year and still loves to read it. He really related to the story since he had the same apprehensions and fears about kindergarten as the boy in the book. 		  
  







  
  
Salt: A World History103 reviews
Mark Kurlansky

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003

Indiana Jones, this IS history
Remembering 2nd semester of Western Civ with a dynamic prof who loved to use the "spectrum of history" to link events...food, religion, war, hobbies, work. That is how this book is read and you must eat the whole salty pretzel to get the flavor. You must try not to quibble with a few sweeping generalizations and dwell on the great facts that link this history together. A great prequel or ... 		  
  







  
  
Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me237 reviews
Pattie Boyd, Penny Junor

Three Rivers Press, 2008

Magic explained.
I had heard tidbits about how Eric Clapton "stole" George Harrison's beautiful wife, Patti Boyd before, and I was curious about how that happened and...then what? Happily ever after? No, no. Patti gives us the whole story, a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the world of rock and roll musicians. The relationship interplays, the emotions, the disappointment over songs that don't "make it." ... 		  
  







  
  
Vegan with a Vengeance : Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock254 reviews
Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Isa Moskowitz

Da Capo Press, 2005

A winner
I am a long-time lacto-ovo-vegetarian, and was pondering going vegan. I stumbled across the YouTube videos of the authors' old public access show Post Punk Kitchen, and adored it - I went out and got this book. Every single recipe I have made has been a winner - the scrambled tofu and the samosas are two of my favorite savory recipes, and I love ALL of the cookie recipes. The only spot I have had ... 		  
  







  
  
The Gospel according to Bruce Springsteen: Rock and Redemption, from Asbury Park to Magic (Gospel According ...6 reviews
Jeffrey B. Symynkywicz

Westminster John Knox Press, 2008

A Deeper Look at the Springsteen Canon
I have just finished reading this book, and will soon go out and buy several more copies for friends and relatives-- longtime Springsteen fans and newcomers alike. Symynkwicz does an excellent job of laying out before us in a clear and coherent manner so many of the themes that we always knew were there in Bruce's work-- themes like hope, redemption, the power of love, and the yearning for social ... 		  
  







  
  
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)5174 reviews
J.K. Rowling

Scholastic Press, 2000

Pure Epic-ness!
While I firmly believe that the Prisoner of Azkaban is the true beginning of the series that is now known as the Harry Potter series, this is the novel that truly cements its grandeur. All of the characters begin to grow in this novel and Rowling seems to be truly growing as writer. She seems to have a firm grip on where this novel is going to go and she also seems less intimated about bringing ... 		  
  







  
  
Cherry Bomb: The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Better Flirt, a Tougher Chick, and a Hotter Girlfriend--and to ...
Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2008

Not for the faint of heart, Cherry Bomb is an A-to-Z reference for everything awesome a girl needs to know, including the obvious (style, beauty, dating, and sex tips) and the not-so-obvious (instructions for preparing absinthe, how to hit on a celebrity). It's a girl's guide with a difference: one that shows readers how to identify, go after, and get whatever they want in life -- be it a hot guy, a great job, a mind-blowing orgasm, or a sexy ...

Brian Welch

HarperOne, 2008

good for teenagers
One of my senior high youth group girls just got done reading this and loved it! She said it really inspired her to be a Christian. I am going to suggest more of my senior high youth kids to read this book.
