Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4) 5174 reviews
J.K. Rowling
Scholastic Press, 2000
An amazing novel
Without a doubt this is my favorite novel of the series so far. The action in this novel was intense and I finished the novel in a couple of days. JK Rowling always does a great job of mixing foreshadowing and mystery. With each novel, I have begun to realize that nothing is as it seems. I thought I finally figured out the plot, only to be completely surprised in the end.
The novel comes ...

Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About 2379 reviews
Kevin Trudeau
Alliance Publishing, 2005
Not for the wimpy mided
Kevin Trudeau may well be as much all about the money as he blames the whole world, have crime records, and more. Yet, people still have to listen to him. Most people in America are very negligent about their obesity and diet despite the epidemics of cancer and more diseases. Everybody has known at least a person with a severe disease, such as diabetes, we all know that the canned and boxed food ...

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship ... 143 reviews
John M. Gottman, Nan Silver
Three Rivers Press, 1999
Buy the book, not the Kindle version
This is an excellent book full of interesting information and useful exercises. If you or your counseling clients want to make marriage work, this could really help. I bought the Kindle version, though, and now I have no access to the exercises.
I borrowed the book from the library and made some copies of the exercises. There are so many good ones, this turned out to be a lot of time and ...

Body for Life: 12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength 941 reviews
Bill Phillips, Michael D'Orso
Collins Living, 1999
This fitness program is the real deal! Great book!
"Body For Life" is the most approachable, motivational, and effective fitness program I have encountered. Several of my male friends were getting in extremely buff while following this program, and their wives were getting into great shape, so I had to toss my skepticism aside and give it a try. Sure enough, even after 6 weeks, people were noticing that I looked "physically fit."

Very well priced
There are so many cookbooks out there!! It seems that every day a few new cookbooks are published. However, I suppose that this one will stay longer on everyone's shelve. With almost 1300 pages there is something for everyone's taste buds, and for everyone's cooking skills. Considering the size of it, it is very inexpensive - definitely worth the price. For everyone who is interested in healthy ...

The Joke's on Me
Amazon recently recommended that I purchase The Killing Joke based on my new addiction to comic books and graphic novels. (I've also only recently gotten into video games and other things that I think that I was supposed to start liking a long long time ago...Can you say: "mid-life crisis?"
Anyway, how timely I thought, of this Killing Joke recommendation by Amazon....A "new" Batman versus ...

The classic and age old story of good vs. evil told in a way that captures the imagination from the first book to the last.

Again a hit novel
I have been a fan of Katie MacAlister for a long time. I bought her first
book and have been buying the others as they come out. I love the inclusion
of the silver dragons into the Guardian senario but I just have to admit
that I have a jones for the "dog" Jim or Jinn. He is a combination of a
smart rough talking Mickey Spillane type character and a scruffy yard dog.
He always has a ...

Susan Cooper
Aladdin, 2007
Beautifully written fantasy
"The Dark Is Rising" series is a beautifully written series based on British folklore. It is a children's series, but adults with an interest in British lore will enjoy it as well. The characters are well drawn, and the rising suspense makes this a page-turner for all. These are books you may well find yourself rereading as an adult!

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms (Dictionary)9 reviews
Merriam-Webster, 1994
Handy Book for Vocabulary Reference
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms is an interesting research - and I dare to say: entertaining - resource. Because, contrary to what some might think, this is not a thesaurus, but a book which groups words of similar meanings into a topic and explains in a very didactic way and with examples what distinguishes in nuance one from each other so you can use the most appropriate ...
