It is quite similar to a few other books before it. But The Namesake is written well and reading it is every bit as enjoyable as watching a movie. It is a little "chick-lit" but I liked it.             Life of Pi1827 reviews Yann Martel Harvest Books, 2003 Entertaining I tore through all 330 pages in just a few days.

He gives the reader vivid imagery without being wordy. He keeps things entertaining throughout! This book was a little outside my traditional reading genre, but I absolutely loved it.             The Only Three Questions That Count: Investing by Knowing What Others Don't117 reviews Kenneth L.

While some modern readers may have difficulty with the late 19th-century writing style, the novel itself is a rewarding experience for anyone willing to consider the work, and the use of language should not be held against its brilliance. Though not the first word in ...             Gardening When It Counts: Growing Food in Hard Times (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series)32 reviews Steve Solomon New Society Publishers, 2006 Detailed, Valuable Advice Gardening When It Counts is truly a book for our times.

Wow. I am so glad to have bought this book. I cannot put it down! At first I must admit I was intimidated by its size as well as the period it was written.

This book is great! Some reviews have said that it promotes spanking, but the bottom line is that if you don't spank you are doing your child a disservice and that's exactly what this author is saying in her book. She doesn't say that a parent should be abusive and just spank for no reason or just make up a reason to beat their child. Rather she admonishes parents to teach the child the correct ...             The Multifidus Back Pain Solution: Simple Exercises That Target the Muscles That Count27 reviews Jim Johnson New Harbinger Publications, 2002 Unbelievable... a borderline miracle.... 10++ stars HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! I had back surgery 2 years ago (L1-L2 thru L3-L4 lumbar diskectomy) to relieve severe lower back pain and sciatica pain in the left leg. Although the surgery relieved the sciatica, regularly every 4-6 weeks I subsequently had recurring "episodes" which took 2-3 weeks to subside.

Norton, 1996 Still the best This is still the best vamp book around, bar none. I was always upset with Coppola's movie because he used Stoker's name, and made the count into this loving anti-hero.

Pure evil.             Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work38 reviews Richard Carlson Hyperion, 1998 A Combination of Motivational and Practical Advice Much of the stress we experience comes not from the workplace but from our reactions to our workplace. Most of Carlson's little book focuses on how we need to change our attitudes in order to minimize stress.
