This was a surprise. I was expecting one thing and got something quite different. Although it did not meet my expectations, I think that is not the fault of the story or the writing.

Not what I expected, I should of done more research.

Quite a few of these are already on Internet lists so this book seems like a collection of those rather than new and original material.  If you have never seen one of the online lists, then these might be funny to you.

This book was OK I was expecting something a little different but overall this book is what I wanted and very thought out. I say

I honestly thought I was getting something different when I ordered this book.  The items needed for some of these recipes have to be ordered online, as they are not available in my small town.  I also thought it would be a little more in depth.

Expected more for some reason. Information is there but little is really new or so I felt.

Maybe I've read too many "free" ebooks from folks that essentially want my email in xchange, but there seems to be quite a lot of free "bland" being delivered over wifi. Anyway,

Here's my take: Josh has some points and you may find some gem or 2, but I recommend you contain your free-glee until you get into it. Still I support his efforts for reaching-out.

As I have noted in a few other cases usually I only review books, films, and music on this site so it is unusual for me to tout other products, especially consumer products. And especially because I don't have enough mechanical or technological sense to come in out of the rain But I am very interested in this one, seems like something I can manage and that information may be of help to others in my condition. So this little item is an idea whose time has come.

For some reason I thought that it was going to be insightful. But maybe because I was expecting something that would be out of this world in the sense of picking up more information or information that I haven't heard of before.

Don't get me wrong I did learn very important key points that I will try to implement into my own life. The book has the key points in there. You just have to read it and pick up what you need.

I was a little disappointed in this book, not what I was expecting.

I like Ringo's work and I like these kinds of books. That was my biggest problem, as I read this book I kept asking myself, "Haven't I read this story before?"

There were some that definitely were new, and I liked the one based on the Freehold novels by Mike Williamson. However, I was expecting the book to be mostly new content and all I can say is that I'm sure several of the stories appeared before, perhaps in the There Will be War anthologies by Pournelle.

If you've read a lot of this type of material you'll probably find that you've read several of these stories too :(

Also, I thought the book said it was 400 pages...

There are some new materials here but not enough to prevent  sense that these are left-overs from Kitchen Confidential.  Kitchen Confidential also set out to give a glimpse and feel of what the professional cooks' world is like, this book occasionally go the same way but lacks an overall binder.

I think this book could have been a little better. I was hoping for more of a variety than was in the book, something new, that wasn't in the other book or already there on the web site on D&E. It seemed like it was just copied from what was already out there, just rearanged and worded a little differently. I was not impressed with the items in the book. With as much D&E jewelry that was made, you would think that it would not be all the same items that are on 1 certain web site or other book, the same items, just over again. It is time for a new book to come out with new pictures of items that are not already shown. With as much as the D&E people made, you would think that, that would be easy to do. I was hoping for so much more but I learned nothing new with this book, I could have saved my money.

Not a lot new here but I did get a few ideas I can use. It's pretty much just common sense.

I really thought it would be more interesting but I already knew how to do most of the things in there. some one else may find it helpful

I thought this was going to be one of his more current concerts, rather than a collection of bits and pieces from many years ago to present. Some real funny stuff here though.
