Not the best.  Too much minutia, not enough meat.

We took The Milepost with us on our trip north up the Alcan Highway and around Alaska.  I found it to be far too overly filled with inane minutia and lacking good general information.  By minutia I mean it describes what particular highway signs say.  I can read the sign easier by looking out the window than by finding it in a big heavy book.  There was so much minutia that it was too big, too difficult to find good information, too hard to read, and not very useful.  The good part is that reading all the minutia gives your co-driver something to do while the long and winding road rolls slowly past.

Not enough funny quotes.

I was hoping for some out-of-the-ordinary and funny quotes.. these were just 'ok'.  Keep looking for better

Frankly, I was disappointed.

As a huge fan of both food and satire, I was expecting greatness. I expected too much.

"Food is like SEX, ha ha ha!"

There, toss in a bunch of profanity, and you have the majority of the material in this title. Yes, there are some pretty funny moments, but really not worth shoveling through the sophomoric and banal to find them. I'm no prude, but just like listening to someone who drops F-bombs every 3rd word, no matter how interesting the subject...it just gets old very quickly.

If you're the type that snickers whenever someone says crack, bone, or snatch...you'll probably love it.

Far from Martin Walker's best. I missed all the good food and local color, and was left cold by all the Bugatti minutia. More details of the Resistance  in the area would have made a more well rounded novel.

I hoped this would be better than snack food. It left me disappointed; lots of gravy, little turkey, and invisible dressing. I won't buy any of the other in this group of the "Hormel Compleats" food line. Ugh.

On the one hand I believe the premise of the story is generally true, but on the other hand I'm not impressed with the way the story is told.  Too much talking and not enough doing.  Too many bad guys too talkative about the meat and potatoes of what they were doing --i.e., No OPSEC.  Too much emphasis on supernatural 'special power's of the shadow wolves and not enough emphasis on the integrity and patriotism of others.  I've always liked As Steven Seagal's movies except when he went all preachy about environmental issues, but here the story verges into the occult.

If you don't mind recipes that include mostly artificial sweeteners, fake butter, fat free mayo and fat free cheese (the list goes on but you get the idea), then maybe you will like this cookbook.  I prefer more natural ingredients and don't think it's hard to use them to make filling and nutritious low-cal meals.  This cookbook was disappointing to say the least.

While this book broke it down on what blender to purchase, veggies/fruits to use and the steps involved in completing the detox. It lacks in giving you recipes. 10 recipes, that's it. I expected more meat from a renown writer.

I was looking forward to this, very disappointed.  It's almost entirely meat.  Heavy on calories, not what I would call a wholesome food conscious diet.  If you don't care about calories, and like your meat, you might like. I will pass it on.

I really tried to like this book.  Even before I got to page 30 there were two typos.  Very distracting.  I could not relate to Downs, lots of rambling about her childhood, tv shows she likes to watch. This book didn't have enough "meat" for me.

I had a little higher expectation.
A little movie that seems to be half cooked. Not sure what is missing?
Maybe a little more character development? Too late now.

Not a whole lot of substance. Mainly a lot of fluff.

Not very good.  there are better books on Paleo for the same money.  It's not bad, and the information is correct, but i just think this looks likes it was cut and pasted from internet sites.  Not much substances to this book.

Doesn't cover enough foods,could add more colored photos Cook books without color pictures don't inspire me to make the recipes.

A remarkably post-apocalyptic bit of fiction, for a picture book. But really unsatisfying, and simplistic. Humanity has so destroyed the world that there are no plants or animals, and then a young boy discovers a tiger, and is brought to a secret haven of nature. And, on seeing this nature, the world suddenly changes track, and all will be well. It's just too simple! And it feels patronizing.

The artwork feels overly messy, even taking into account the messed-up state of affairs. It's just too busy, with lots of texturing added to any section of solid color.

There are definitely better books about conservation out there. Try "A Boy and a Jaguar" by Rabinowitz.

disappointing. Not a lot of "meat" to it  lots of VERY general info that I already know can get online for free was hoping for some off the beaten path tidbits but not many to be had. Maybe on the "lite" side  be because it's the kindle version vs the book?

The text is OK and funny most of the time, but in my opinion it's worth a blog post or webpage, not a book. It lacks deepness and more "meat", being just a collection of short sentences mixed with lots of ilustrations.
