This book tells exactly how hundreds of thousands of real alcoholics have been saved from alcoholism. How can anyone be critical of that if it works? Only the stupid, or ignorant can criticize a book which has literally saved so many people from certain death (not to mention the thousands more they could have victimized). It is truly a miracle, by virtue of all of the people it has saved. True, ...             Glass23 reviews Ellen Hopkins Margaret K.

Thirty six hours later i felt as spent as he did, without the crakheads and dirty needles.

Amen Three Rivers Press, 1999 Change Your Brain, Change Your Life This book(I listened to the cd's.) is an amazing insight into the human brain, how it works, and explains so many misconceptions about thinking in regards to our present mindset about behavior. It explains each part of the brain and behaviors that are represented by each part in a way that is easy to understand and connect to. It also gives great detail and information on behaviors, why we use ...             Crank106 reviews Ellen Hopkins Simon Pulse, 2004 Great book for teens! This book, a sort of biographical account of a daughter's descent into crystal meth addiction -- written by her mother -- is a very powerful story written in free verse. The simplicity of the words belies the terrible story of the immediate and irresistable hold that crank takes on the unwary victim. The fact that the drug is introduced to an honor student by her father during a custody visit ...             Preserving Food without Freezing or Canning: Traditional Techniques Using Salt, Oil, Sugar, Alcohol, Vinegar, ...12 reviews The Gardeners and Farmers of Centre Terre Vivante Chelsea Green Publishing, 2007 An excellent book for those who wish to eat healthy all year long. I read the previous edition of this book ("Keeping Food Fresh"), then bought this edition for my daughter. All of the methods I have tried from this book have been very good. I appreciate knowing how to preserve food the way people used to (and obviously some still do), without having to destroy so many nutrients through canning. Many of the recipes in here can be adapted to other foods. For ...             Go Ask Alice84 reviews Anonymous Simon Pulse, 2005 Go Ask Alice I loved this book. The emotion that the protagonist conveys throughout the book is clearly relatable from generation to generation.

Arriving in Sao Paulo, ...             The Glass Castle: A Memoir1087 reviews Jeannette Walls Scribner, 2006 Five stars: An inspirational true story An amazing story of courage, confidence, and most of all, love. The tales from Jeannette's crazy childhood are, at times, unbelievable. There were moments when I wanted to scream through the pages of the book at her parents, and even at Jeannette herself. Her parents followed their beliefs and failed to hold steady jobs. As a result, Jeannette and her siblings often went hungry, were unable to ...             Drink: A Cultural History of Alcohol Iain Gately Gotham, 2008 A spirited look at the history of alcohol from the dawn of civilization to the twenty first century For better or worse, alcohol has helped shape our civilization.

Zubrin covers a lot of ground so I will take this by chapter. First, the author has a PhD in nuclear engineering so he knows the science. The first two chapters provide the rationale for his campaign to replace petroleum with methanol, and to a lesser degree ethanol. The book was written a year ago and the effects of food ...             The Easy Way to Stop Drinking30 reviews Allen Carr Sterling, 2005 Allen Carr's Easy Way Review I read Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Drinking with a critical, but hopeful open mind. I wanted to believe that just by reading this book that he would convince me to give up drinking without regret, and without the need to use willpower. I liked that I didn't have to give up drinking during the book. That gave me some time to put off that dreadful day. I read steadily, but had no desire ...             Identical Ellen Hopkins Margaret K. McElderry, 2008 Do twins begin in the womb? Or in a better place? Kaeleigh and Raeanne are identical down to the dimple. As daughters of a district-court judge father and a politician mother, they are an all-American family -- on the surface. Behind the facade each sister has her own dark secret, and that's where their differences begin. For Kaeleigh, she's the misplaced focus of Daddy's love, intended for a mother whose presence on the campaign trail means ...             Ink Exchange26 reviews Melissa Marr HarperTeen, 2008 Mortal and supernatural worlds cross in a romantic journey of self-discovery Seventeen-year-old Leslie has endured tough times since her mother left her behind with her father and brother, most of which she would like to forget. Although she has made mistakes of her own, they pale in comparison to her brother Ren's out-of-control drug abuse.

My name is Jazmin and I am a freshman in high school. I had to pick a book for an English project. A friend of mine read Tears of a Tiger and said it had some good life lessons in it.

The main character ...             Gossip Girl #1: A Novel (Gossip Girl Series)319 reviews Cecily Von Ziegesar Poppy, 2002 Scandalous Lives Gossip Girl shares the latest gossip on her website, like that Serena's back from boarding school.This former it-girl is back to be Blair's best friend again, but Blair feels differently.
