Really I love the book, but mostly I bought it to support Paula.. I do believe she is made to be a scapegoat for someone or something; not saying I condone the use of language to describe a person --whether she did od didn't  who REALLY knows!! I am sure Ms Deen will survive this (shoot Martha did and she served time,) None the less  cookbook is great  the photos that are there YUMMY!! give the woman a break after all she is human and makes mistakes.. heck look at some of the others who have been raked over the coals ;Mr. Clinton,Michael Jackson,Martha Stewart, JFK and brother Ted, and the list goes on. Really FOLKS let's get real. GOOD BOOK

The sequel to the hilarious Surviving the Applewhites, Coast to Coast continues the saga of this peculiar family with their even more peculiar ideas about education. This time the Applewhites have another problem child, a slick and rancorous girl who nearly hijacks not only the odd buses which transport the family across America in pursuit of a badly needed monetary prize for the most innovative educational video.

The results are, as usual with the Applewhites, the story is frequently by the reader's own laughter.

I laughed and I cried for this book is so well-written about such a sensitive subject. It is a teaching book; all teachers and parents should read it. It is a learning book; we learn that families can survive and love and even laugh when dealing with an autistic child. Author Phyllis Green has handled the dialogue and scene details with depth and energy. To collect all this information and work through organizing the life of the Apple family must have been a dedicated task. Bravo, Phyllis! And God bless Pat Apple as a mother who did not give up!

I love this book of overcoming impossible obstacles in order to survive. It is touching in its portral of a young white boy who was reared in a prejudice environment. Then he's shipwrecked with Timothy, a black steward from the ship. I love the scene where the young boy who has now lost his eyesight is huddled tightly against Timothy on a raft. As the night closes in, and the ocean breeze blows cold against their huddled bodies, Philip says, "Timothy, are you still black?"  A wonderful story to teach how love overcomes prejudices.

I really like this book.  It has a lot of recipes. I plan to try the cheddar dip--dip in apple slices. The history of apples in America is very interesting.  The best part of the book are the tips on the best ways to freeze apples and pies, how to can and dry apples for later use in pies or otherwise. Makes a great gift idea with a box of local apples to family or friends who live out of your state.  Having grow up in New York State, my children, who now live out west, cannot get their favorite varieties out there.

My three kids and I all enjoyed this book years ago (in the 70's) reading about the wonderful apple tree that produced so many apples the family did not know what to do with them all!... Just like my kids' granny who also had a fruit orchard and had about a zillion ways to use the various fruits. I am so sorry this book is no longer in print as I wanted to purchase it for my own grandson.

This is a great book to read through all the design considerations that were done in designing all the Apple products. It also tells us the politics at play inside the organization. However there is something missing in the book. I just put my finger on it. The book is good but not totally great!

I just read the first four chapters on iTunes iBooks of Buttons and Pain and you can too! Do a google search or go onto your iBooks and type in "Buttons and Pain" and enjoy!

This book is pretty inspiring and while the information is a little dated (because it was published over five years ago), it applies.  The 3 Fat Chicks are sisters who started a weight loss site to check in with each other...and it grew.  Very few people in the online weight loss community have not heard of them.  They give a brief description of the popular diets of the day, pros and cons, cost, and sample recipes, but more important to me were tips from those who had had success with different diets AND those who didn't like them and why.  It is a very encouraging book for people who need support finding a diet of course, but also for those who want to continue to get support and read motivational stories from those in the same boat or who made it through to the other side.  There is also a chapter on maintenance which is VERY important because as we know most people lose the same X amount of weight over and over again.  The tips here as well as the guidance on the website (the forum is VERY active in this day and age where forums are slowly dying) will help you get the weight off AND keep healthy if you are ready.  Are you?

Great tips on how to be successful at dieting and staying healthy.
It was great to read the good, the bad, and the ugly of being a woman trying to lose weight the right way.
The book also offers an 8 week challenge, recipies, worksheets, meal planner, grocery list, running log, and more.

I found McDonalds book extremely helpful. I am starting out in SEO and Jasons examples and process make a lot of sense. My only suggestion would be that he hire a proofreader to catch changes in format and typos.

Take your survival advice from a fellow who has lived it. Have known a few of these SAS operatives and they are as smart and tough as they come. A great narrative on what it takes to survive when the situation goes bad. A word to the wise is sufficient.

The Imagination Station 8 Battle for Cannibal Island and The Imagination Station 9 Escape to the Hiding Place are Apple's newest favorite books! Let's face it, this girl reads 10-15 books a week (at least). I can't preview them all. I can't read as many as she does. Well I guess I could if I didn't have to cook....or clean.....or teach them....... right. So I depend on the recommendations of friends, reviews I see online, and books from trusted sources like Adventures in Odyssey.

I know the books from AiO will be subjects that I don't mind without any material that is inappropriate. She practically CONSUMED these books when they arrived. She had them both read in two days and she hasn't stopped talking about them! Here is a little of what she had to say:

Me: What was the most interesting thing in the books?

Apple: "Well the one about the cannibal king the most interesting thing was when Tooki shot his arrow into the water. In the other book, I liked when the woman took the kids to help them."

Me: What was one thing you didn't like in the books?

Apple: "In the cannibal book, I did not like when the 2 prisoners almost got out! In the other book, I didn't like that they had to be patrolled and certain people could not go out at night."

Me: Why do you think other kids should read these books?

Apple: "Because they are very good and they tell us a little about how people communicate and how other people might have lived."

An extra bonus to these particular books is that they are gender neutral. They have a female and a male lead. So when Speedy is ready (which won't be long! He's doing great!), he will be happy to read these as well. I love that the books present situations where the characters are all able to express their faith. In order for our kids to be comfortable presenting their faith, they need as many examples of others doing so as possible. Although these are clearly fictional situations they can gain confidence in speaking up about their love for Jesus!

We are now on the lookout for books 1-7 in this series and #10 will release in January 2013!

I received these books for the purpose of review from the Tyndale Blog Network. All opinions are my own.

Robert, I appreciate all the information you have gathered.  Wish the information was written is an easier and more palatable verbiage.  I'm in a book club and almost every person in the group is having difficulty with the reading.
