The Essential Companion to the Dukan Diet - The Dukan Diet Cookbook
The Essential Companion to the Dukan Diet - The Dukan Diet Cookbook

Review:I have lost weight easily with the diet, there are things I don't agree with, but the diet was written in 2002 and research has updated a few things. I did not find a lot to help to me in the cookbook but haven't fixed many recipes. Read more

La Sombra del Viento (Spanish Edition)
La Sombra del Viento (Spanish Edition)

Review:Lectura que te tiene en suspenso continuo. Los personajes son los mismos de El Juego del Angel y El prisionero del Cielo. Las historias se continuan de una a otra novela dando un panorma mas amplio. Read more

The Angel's Game: A Psychological Thriller
The Angel's Game: A Psychological Thriller

Review:I would have never heard of the first book Shadow on the Wind--it had just been published in English for the first time and my cousin sent me a copy.Everyone in the house ended up reading the first and second book.
Both books were well written with many plots-characters and subplots-very interesting read.
A must read--especially if you have read the first book. Read more

The Prisoner of Heaven: A Novel
The Prisoner of Heaven: A Novel

Review:The author pulls the reader into the place and time with all of his novels. He weaves the story like fine silk and the reader begins to be one of the characters in the book. The characters become friends who one cares about, and has concerns for. My biggest regret is that I have finished it and there are no more in this series. Read more

The Inferno (Signet Classics)
The Inferno (Signet Classics)

Review:There have been several excellent translations of Dante in the past few years, all worth reading in their own right. But I retain a special affection for John Ciardi's version, as it's the first one I ever read, at the unprepared & overwhelmed age of 15. I knew of its reputation as a major classic & I was ignorant enough to be unfazed by the prospect of reading it.

Well, to say that I was soon in over my head is an understatement! But Ciardi's fine, lyrical translation, as well as... Read more

The Book of Disquiet (Penguin Modern Classics)
The Book of Disquiet (Penguin Modern Classics)

Review:There are certain writers few and rare who make the reader see the world in a different way. There are certain writers who reveal to us hidden worlds in ourselves and teach us truths on the edge of our consciousness which we by ourselves alone could never bring to revelation. Pessoa is such a writer, a singularity among the singularities. He explores as he himself says his own subjectivity and is a person largely of his own inner world but that inner world never stops encountering and transformi... Read more

The Complete Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook - Power Pressure Cooker XL Top 500 Recipes

Review:I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy
The cookbook had a variety of recipies that were simplistic if you had the ingredients
First off I am a baker and love to use my pressure cooker for meals the ingredients that were called for are not the typical American pantry items I’m not talking about the main ingredients I’m talking about vanilla paste nope didn’t have that so crossed those recipies off my can do list
Then went looking for something else that one called for gh... Read more

[Summary] The Nightingale: by Kristin Hannah
[Summary] The Nightingale: by Kristin Hannah

Review:Full of grammatical errors and whole paragraphs repeated, which made it annoying to read. The so-called questions for a book club look like a quiz for high-school freshmen to prove they had read the book; the questions had nothing to do with any issues worth discussing, which is what a book club is about. This summary was definitely not worth one cent. Book Sense, if you are going to publish summaries, at least use spell-check, stop padding the book out by repeating whole sections of text, and a...

Around the World in Eighty Days (Oxford World's Classics)
Around the World in Eighty Days (Oxford World's Classics)

Review:A classic from my childhood first experienced through the Disney movie. This was quite a bit different yet all the better for it. I recommend to both the science fiction fan and the lover of history. Written about 1873 it's amazing how much things haven't changed in travel and in people. Read more
