Tasty!
Wells is the first person to attempt this kind of beer book and I think he succeeds wonderfully. Neophites can learn a lot about beer and the craft brew movement (not to mention a nicely delivered short history of beer in the world and America) and the beer savvy will like his chapters on Extreme Beer, yeast rustlers and a home brewing contest. Meanwhile, if you like travelogue there's lot of ...

A Wonderful Book about the Great Louisiana Wetlands
Ken Wells takes us into the bayou for a look at a culture rarely seen and too little appreciated, a culture at risk. He has done the nearly impossible: he's written an ecological novel that's beautifully researched and true, and at the same time is funny, heartwarming, and filled with characters you won't easily forget, from the Cajun governor to the venial oil magnate and his mysterious ...

A must read even if you hate "Sci-Fi"
I have been planning on reading this book for over 10 years. I remember watching the movie when I was little (and then the remake a few years ago). First of all, this was far better than either of the movies. Written in first person from the account of a survivor of the attack (who is never named) and then recounting the tale of his brother, this is a very immediate and unsettling tale. ...

A loving, thoughtprovoking way to wait for your baby's birth
I throughly am appreciating this book as I wait for my child to be born. The photos are beautiful and help me visualize my child growing daily. Each week's fetal development is wonderfully described through combining the actual anatomical facts with an acknowledgment of God's hand in this amazing process. The prayer each week touches my heart. This book helps me slow down for just a ...

Dwelling place for the Soul
An unexpected surprise and joy, well scripted and paced, this book has got to be made into a movie. A Cajun adventure of the heart, with unsophisticated but never crude characters, and a story about not giving up on love. These characters are real people, middle-aged (like me), who love, sweat, fear, laugh, and connive. Logan is a 40 something widower, and single father, who has turned to the ...
Travels With Barley: The Quest for the Perfect Beer Joint
Ken Wells
Berkley Trade
, 2008
Pulitzer Prize finalist and former Wall Street Journal writer Ken Wells set out on America's mighty River of Beer (aka the Mississippi) in a quest for his own Oz: the mythical Perfect Beer Joint. Along the way he samples great beer with the Heartland's raconteurs, probes Elvis's beer-drinking habits, drops in on brewers and hopheads, tours the World's Largest Six-Pack and a bar once owned by Al Capone, and visits an Extreme Beer Maker whose ...

a great book by a great writer
Ken Wells can write. Let me repeat this fact. Ken Wells can write. If you like the grittiness of Rick Bragg or the majesty of Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, you will like this book. I am a reader, presumably readers of these reviews share this avocation. My greatest joy is what I call being "stopped" while reading a book. By this I mean reading a line so beautiful or thoughtful that ...

Interesting to read and useful as a gift
A few times a year we need a gift for someone whose tastes and interests are not well known to us. After perusing the many brief essays that make up this book, I know this will be a choice we'll use again and again. First, the editor chose widely among dates available, resulting in a selection that includes not only material from the past decade, but studies that reach into the early sixties. It ...

Beyond bulls and bears
No matter the state of the economy, the weakness of the markets, or the dudgeon of the editorial page, there's always one part of The Wall Street Journal that brings a smile -- the center column on the front page known in our household as the "nut box." "Herd on the Street" collects the best of a special genre of nut box stories, the ones about animals. From dogs and cats to roaches, sturgeons, ...

For any age BASIC programmer - an invaluble reference
Hey, hold on a sec - i didn't say this could teach you BASIC .... most people see a programming book and think, "This can teach me how to program" .... but this isn't so. This is merely a dictionary, an invaluble resource for any programmer who can't remember every command he's ever used or ever will. The reference in this book dates back to the Apple II (pictured on the cover) but is still ...

Louisiana coming-of-age debut novel; wonderful
There aren't too many of these around: a Cajun coming of age novel. In fact, I'll bet this is the only one, and it's a winner. Just made for reading aloud (especially to a young teenage son), the story is told in first person by a 13yo kid who lives in a falling-down (literally) shack back in a Louisiana bayou with his usually absent gator-hunting, kindly, nearly-always-drunk, renegade father who ...
