Highly recommended for totally sick people.
Andrew Mayhem has had trouble finding a steady job. Let's face it, with Andrew's track record of killing people (in self defense, of course) getting hired is not easy. And anyone in close proximity to Andrew always ends up having his awful luck spill over onto him. But Andrew is really trying to be a responsible adult. He has two kids and a pregnant wife to consider. So no more accepting jobs in ...

Very Easy to Use
I am a home schooling mom and I am really enjoying using this book. My son is in 4th grade this year and the best part is... he can read it himself and do the assignments. The book is written to the student. It is serious and yet the author makes it very personnel to the student. I have not done a lot in it yet. My son seems to like it and is learning. THat's What I want. I recommend you buy ...

A Book U Can't Put Down
"Those of us who were not draft-age males when the draft lottery went into effect can only imagine what would have gone through our minds as we waited for our birth dates to be drawn. The opening scene of "The Red Caduceus" shows us four young men gathered together on that evening, and we find out enough about each one to make us care about their fates. From that point on the author has hooked ...

Well Written and Powerful Poetry
Strand is a magnificent poet. His ideas and images are brilliant and the arrangement of the poems makes one flow into the other and it is impossible to stop reading. Tight and concise, lyrical and thought provoking, interesting and entertaining. He won a well-deserved Pulitzer a few years ago, and these poems are additional evidence as to why. Favorites include "Black Sea," "Marsyas," ...

Funny as hell!
Strand has a knack for great set-ups and one-liners, and suburban dad Andrew Mayhem is the most unique hero in thriller fiction; henpecked, ineffective, and a constant screw-up, but you love the guy. Don't let the nonstop laughs fool you (and there are at least three per page)--there's some really creepy stuff in this book, and the premise is pretty disturbing. Intelligent, humorous, and ...

Books are virtually the same
I read a borrowed copy of Releasing Fat: Developing Healthy lifestyles that Have the Side-Effect of Permanent Weight Loss. It wasn't until after I ordered a copy for myself AND and copy of Healthy for Life... that I read the blurbs about them on Dr. Strand's website. You can't tell on the Amazon site that the books are virtually identical. The only difference is that Releasing Fat includes ...

Wonderful inspiring cookbook!
I just received this from Amazon the other day. It is a plastic binder. This makes it very easy to removed the recipe that you want to make without having to Turn the book this way or that way to read the recipe and look at the picture. The other wonderful part of this cookbook is that the pictures help guide you. The recipes are only on one page and the picture on the other side. I had this ...

We need poetry as a people and as individuals and if you have the nature to hear and feel it,poetry is the only ...

Have you ever longed for a fairy tale that wasn't riddled with silliness and foolish princesses and princes? Or one that held greater meaning and depth than those tales your mother told you when you were a child? Black Pearls is what you have been looking for. These seven tales are far different than those that you remember hearing, but eerily similar at the same time. Why was Rapunzel kept in ...

Great Information to Prevent Diabetes/Heart Disease
(...) I do reccomend this book. Dr. Strand has brought a new perspective to the cause of diabetes and how that leads to heart disease. Its all about the glycemic index, and if you are causing your blood sugar to spike with previously 'innocent' foods. (that leads to insulin resistance of which central obesity is a major sypmtom).

The best of horror!
Giant Red Imported Fire Ants (Solenopsis invicta) invade Tampa, Florida in a killing spree. ***** How was THAT for a synopsis? I have had the privilege of previewing/reviewing many other books by Author Jeff Strand. I am quoted as stating that Strand is warped and one sick cookie. I still stand by those words! This book is just more proof that I am right! Be warned that I give this awesome book ...

Thomas Nelson, 2003
A Balanced Examination of Drug Use
This is an important book for anyone who takes prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs or herbals. The first part examines the relationship between drug companies and the FDA, which has changed significantly since the early 1990's. Much of the funding for new drug review now comes from the drug manufacturers. The approval process is faster and testing time shorter. The author details how the ...

Strand's Best
Like the best of Jack Ketchum, Ed Lee, or Richard Laymon, PRESSURE has some scenes that will make you wince and squirm. But it also makes you think, makes you feel, and most of all, makes you keep reading. Nerve-wracking, well-written, and deceptively touching, this is an exhilarating, jaw-dropping thrillride that you'll remember for a long, long time. Yeah, I liked it a lot. Here are ...

Very Inspirational!
I happened across this book completely by chance in a bookstore. I was looking for new ideas for my elementary classroom. I remember thinking that the title seemed funny. Once I picked it up though, I was literally hooked (pardon the pun)! I couldn't put it down, and it has inspired a great many new ideas for me to use in the classroom. The advice and examples are so practical and inspiratioal. ...
