What a great book! Still Waters will hold you in rapt suspense till the very last page. Have never read anything by Tami Hoag until now. But, believe me, I will read anything she has and will write.

I have been "large" all of my life, so I thought, "Geez, another stupid diet book; it won't work.", but to my surprise, I am doing very well indeed and it isn't difficult to stick to, because I don't have to fix a "diet" meal for me an "Normal" things for the rest …more

I've read the book three times to make sure I didn't overlook anything. I never had any luck in dieting, but Sugar Busters! is Not a Diet. I never feel like I'm dieting. We don't even think about calories and portion sizes. We just use common sense in deciding …more

It seems to be a reasonable clearly explained diet since it does include vegetables and fruits and whole grained wheat products. I was impressed by the scientific explanations on the effects of insulin on storing fat in the body. What I would have liked is a …more

I read this book last summer. I found it easy for the lay person to understand. It makes sense, too, after all the other diet books I have read. The menus and recipes are very helpful, also.
I started the diet on June 3, 1998 at a size 18+. I now am a size 12-14 and …more

I was given this book by a friend last evening. I brought the book to work with me today, and am very excited about it. I am a nurse, and fitness instructor. I like the way it explains how proteins make metabolism happen, and carbos increase insulin output, …more

This is a great book. I read it in one day. I can't believe how much sugar I didn't know I was having. My gosh, I can actually have a salad with normal salad dressing on it. Here I thought I was doing well by policing myself with fats and I was just loading up on …more

What a great way to lose weight! I had heard about this diet through our New Orleans office and was wondering what the "Sugar Busters" meals at New Orleans restaurants meant. After conversing with co-workers, I had a general idea about what all the stir was …more

I just finished reading Summer Sisters this evening. It came highly recommended by several people. I found very little to like in this book and don't understand why others rave over it. It reads like a trashy novel. The sexual escapades of two teenagers does not make a …more

I Read about "Summer Sisters" in a magazine. A friend lent it to me when I questioned whether she had read\heard of it. I honestly could not stop reading. It was like an addiction. It evokes so many emotions and memories from the reader. I became instantly sucked …more

I was so happy when I heard Judy Blume wrote a novel for adults. As soon as I read the first two pages, I knew I wouldn't be able to put it down. I finished this book in less than two days. You become the characters in the book. It's definitely a keeper!

I loved Stargirl! I recommended it to all my friends, and they all loved it to! I felt as if the author wasn't just telling you a story, but some tips on life and on the binding chains of popularity. I love this book. every one should read it!

I really like this book. It was a real patterned. It had all the unseen aspects of adolescence that catch your eye and make you want more. I would thoroughly recommend it.

"I couldn't put it down. Spinning Straw made me laugh, wince, and cry. It is more than a story of autistic boy. It shows a family that happens to have a child with a serious handicap. It shows their ups and downs, the emotional roller coaster of …more

Southern Cross
by Patricia Cornwell

Chuck Mayo
Comedic satire? I usually don't have to be told when something's funny. Southern Cross is a real turkey; bizarre, bordering on the surreal. Take a tip from me... If you like Patricia Cornwell's novels, don't read Southern Cross... you may never pick up another one.

I was glad that this book was a Xmas gift and that I didn't spend the money on it. Almost as though Cornwell is trying to branch out and appeal to a whole new readership - I think it could be someone else sharing her name - not a good book.
