To be honest, I initially was a little leery about this book.  After all, you never know what to expect when the child of a star (especially a star who has passed away) publishes a book about his/her famous parent.

So I checked out a copy from the library.  Wow, what a nice surprise!  Well written, thoroughly documented, and at times painfully honest.  As I made my way through the book, I felt like I had made two new friends (both Glenn and his son Peter) -- and I didn't want it to end!

I've read many biographies in my day.  This is definitely one of the best, and I recommend it highly as a purchase.  If you check it out from the library, you won't want to give it back!

Now we can hope that Peter will write a book about his mother....

I tore through Maslin's book in just a few days. It's an easy read, very informative, and greatly entertaining. I went into it not knowing much about Iran, and came out with a much better picture of the place, its history and its people. The behind-the-scenes feel to the book, the interactions with everyday people, and the hilarious and unexpected stories all combined, along with background and historical info, to make the book a real winner. And what titles Maslin comes up with! Also worth noting, Maslin has an impeccable taste in travel companions.

I LOVED this book. It is both entertaining and informative. Sam Calagione is a great writer, and you feel like you know him by the time you finish the book. He offers some wonderful advice and tells great stories. I highly recommend this book for anyone who either owns a small business or wishes to start one. Does not have to be a brewery...

This book is fabulous--fantastic pictures, helpful tips, and great ideas for parties and everyday meals. I especially like the range the book covers: everything from beginner tips to ideas for 'experts'--there's something for every level of entertaining. Learning how to create visual interest by displaying food and drink items in varying heights is something I was particularly interested in learning more about. I also loved the sections on sauces and plating. This is a truly a must-have book for people who love to entertain or enjoy food that not only tastes incredible, but looks amazing! I love it!

Practicing what they preach, the authors created an entertaining, educational and memorable book! I highly recommend this book to anyone who has anything to do with needing to get and keep people's attention; especially to small business owners who don't have the time or desire to read stuffy marketing books.

This is simply a fun book!  I caught myself smiling more than once as I went through this light hearted look at spreadsheets.  The brief history of the spreadsheet is both informative and entertaining.  In addition, there are useful tips for beginning and intermediate users peppered throughout.  The best part is the chapter where real Excel users highlight how they use Excel in their daily lives.  Lots of sample files come with this book.  Five stars for originality and entertainment value.

One of the best and most entertaining books I've read lately!  An excellent overview of how the Idiots have taken over the American dialogue and replaced debate with noise.  Funny, with great stories, great sense of humor, and the man has a good heart and a ton of talent.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Senegor's memoir, it is both educational and entertaining! I bought the book planning to take it with me on vacation but, after bringing it home, I decided to take a quick peak inside ... hours later, I was still reading! Dr. Senegor's writing drew me in immediately, this book was hard for me to put down. Dr. Senegor did a phenomenal job bringing out the behind the scenes view of what new doctors go through as they learn their trade. I also enjoyed the love story between Dr. Senegor and Julie, as well as, his love for the City. Having a husband who recently underwent brain surgery left me even more curious about the mystery of what goes on it the operating room. Dr. Senegor writes in a lively, vivid style, infused with common sense, a keen wit and knack for explaining complex medical procedures; since I am a non-medical person, I was able to thoroughly enjoy the stories without trying to decipher over technical context. This was a great chance to gain perspective on neurosurgery and be entertained along the way! Great book! I cannot wait for his next one!

I would recommend this book to anyone!  Of course it's great if you love travel and great if you want to explore the globe (whether one place or many) on a non-college budget but also a non-Rockefeller budget, but it's also great because the author skillfully mixes informative travel tips with witty and often hilarious travel experiences..... Therefore whether you are ready to pack your bags tomorrow or just want an enjoyable and insightful book to read, this one does the trick!  I wish I could give it 10 stars!!

I really enjoyed reading this book and plan to read it again soon.  I found it to be informative, enlightening, and very entertaining.  She writes with a passion for the macabre with humor.  I loved being able to vicariously share in Chris Kullstroem's experiences, forays into the physical world and beyond.  Surely, she travels where no woman has gone before.  Read this book.

I have just finished reading Eva Weisss highly informative and entertaining childrens book, 'I am Israeli'. This creative book is an easy read and packed with lots of information presented through the eyes of real Israeli children who live here, and describe their lives, everyday activities, hobbies, families, and cultural backgrounds.  The various hands on craft and cooking activities with clear instructions contribute to making this book especially attractive to parents of young children. There is something for everyone here (nature, art, sports, cooking, and more). Even though I have lived in Israel for many years, I learned a great deal from reading this book, and meeting the delightful children who told their stories: Nechemia, Qais, Gabi, Yakir, and Moshe. What a great gift to introduce children to Israel, as well as to provide enrichment for children who have already visited the country and look forward to their next visit!

I just started reading and i cant put it down.  The historical references are fun and animated.  the growing advice and nutritional benefits are spot on.  learning about how sex and food intermingle is enlightening and entertaining
This is a great book full of conversation starters; great gift idea!  Everyone who eats should read this book. I am looking forward to trying the many recipes and sharing the aphrodisiac stories behind them.
