Berkley Trade, 1998
Awesome look into the mechanics of a b-movie empire
Lloyd made me promise to review this book if he autographed it for free, and although I'm late in doing so (this was several months back at the Monsterfest in Cherry Hill, NJ)I intend to keep my word. Granted, I may be somewhat biased, in that I'm one of the few people I know who can actually sit all the way through a Troma film without gagging, but I have to say, this book was a highly ...

Sara Tuvel Bernstein~Louise Loots Thornton~Marlene bernst Samuels~Edgar M. Bronfman~Marlene Bernstein Samuels
Berkley Trade, 1999
Amazing Story Of Survival And Kindness
Seren Tuvel survived Ravensbruck, one of the most brutal of all concentration camps, and witnessed some of the most gratuitously violent treatment I've ever heard described, yet she managed to keep her optimism, decency, dignity, humor and integrity throughout it all. This was a very difficult, painful story to read, though beautifully written.

Martha Raddatz
Berkley Trade, 2008
Up close and personal
Martha Raddatz has written an intense, moving book about soldiers from the First Cavalry Division under attack in Iraq in 2004 and the repercussions at their home base in Fort Hood. The sacrifice made by this division and their families is even more poignant after the tragic events of last week. This memorable book honors these soldiers and their families.

A "must" for every mother!
Connie has done a masterful job of articulating the "hell" caused by sugar addictions. This book is a "must" for every mother who wants to raise a healthy child. Far beyond empty calories and tooth decay, Connie shows how sugar consumption causes chronic inflammation which is destructive to every organ in the body (including the brain!!) I think it's time for "Sugar Shock Block Parties"- let ...

a really good book
This is such a good book. The story is engaging and fascinating. The characters were real people- complex and evolving. The book provided a glimpse of a world I will never experience except through reading. Reading it was a great pleasure.

Donna Gillespie
Berkley Trade, 2006
Epic Masterpiece
I'll never completely digest the fact that this is her first book! Beautiful prose, characters that spring to life and roam in your mind, surprisingly insightful details of the ancient days, plots refreshingly free of cliche, battle & gladiatorial scenes that take your breath away and bring you to the spot, as if you are watching the whole event close-up, seeing, hearing and feeling each ...

Felt like I was in the room listening
All of the Band of Brothers books are very good,and this one may be the best told except for the original one by Ambrose. The unigue thing about this book is the way the writer told the story of Bill Guarnere and Babe Heffron together. I don't know if the stories would have been as good if they told their stories in their own seperate books but the way it is told in this book together is ...

Jim Beaver
Berkley Trade, 2010
A moving tribute to a loved one
This memoir made me laugh. It made me cry. It took me back to my own cancer diagnosis, the fear I felt, how relieved I was when it was over. I loved the glimpse into the relationship of Jim and his late wife, Cecily. People who love like the way they did inspire me. While my husband aggravates me sometimes, I'd be lost without him (and he without me). With this memoir, we learn what it's ...

Take Big Bites: Adventures Around the World and Across the Table

Linda Ellerbee
Berkley Trade, 2006
Travel, Food, Fun, Friends, Lovers, and Misadventures
Ellerbee writes just the way she speaks, and when you read Take Big Bites, you feel like she's talking directly to you. This is a book that you never want to end. It's a memoir about travel and food and friends and lovers and misadventures. She has done it all. Most of the time, she travels alone. She prefers that so she's forced to talk to the people where she's visiting. Occasionally, she goes ...

Harvey Frommer
Berkley Trade, 2003
How about that, folks?
In the northeast, the winter of 2003-2004 will be remembered as one of the snowiest, iciest, coldest and dreariest in recent memory. A YANKEE CENTURY was the perfect cure for those miserable days. Filled with the baseball history that took place on the sun-drenched field of Yankee Stadium, Harvey Frommer has provided us Yankee [and most baseball] fans with a warm nostalgia and a good feeling for ...

Table Manners: Double Delicious
"Table Manners," by Mia King, is like a light, airy and double delicious chocolate mousse...that, yes, leaves you craving for more; wouldn't it be nice to get a sequel, perhaps? In fact, it was only after I read the book that I learned that "Table Manners" was a sequel to Mia's 2006 book "Good Things." Obviously, you do not have to read "Good Things" as a prerequisite. Anyway, the book ...

Murray Felsher
Berkley Trade, 1994
Outstanding, for a start...
I am a consultant, working by myself (president and chief bottle-washer) out of my home in suburban Baltimore. I've heard good things about this book, but was unable to locate a copy until last week. I was finally able to get a (used) copy of Working Alone, and having read it and believed it thoroughly, it has earned an honored spot atop my desk, and will remain there indefinitely. This is a ...

This Really Works
I have used the program detailed in this succint little book for 10 years now, beginning with a trip from Los Angeles to Thailand. After following the program and flying for what seemed like days, I arrived at midnight. The following morning I was fully functional and alert at 10 am and suffered no symptoms. I recently used the program for a trip to London and back with no appreciable jet lag. ...

Tom Brown
Berkley Trade, 2001
Good reading
A good view into the world and beliefs of one of the last Native American Scouts, and how he trained his students. I highly recommend you read Tom Brown Jr's books, but only if you are prepared to try out and practice what they contain, because if you just sit on your arse inside your nice warm house, they will do absolutely nothing for you. If you can't take the time or money to go back to ...
Dune Encyclopedia Tr

Willis McNelly
Berkley Trade, 1987
Totally canon
This, and the six Dune books by Frank Herbert are the true books of the Dune universe. Period. Ignore the tripe by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson. Disregard their works as fanfiction, and badly written at that. If you want to know more about Dune, this is the book for you.
The Miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain

I Love MSM
MSM is wonderful for me. I have taken MSM for nearly 2 years now (off and on). I would quit taking it, just to see what would happen. It wouldn't take long before my pain and stiffness would return to my knees. I wouldn't want to go through life without MSM. I am able to go through life without pain in my knees when I take MSM on a regular schedule. I have had no problems taking MSM and I take ...
