Some pretty good tips if you are willing to search for them.

Gamification of your life focusing on health but applicable in multiple areas.

Fun, informative, good writing. It's really more like a 3.5 but I'll round up as most (all) of the information is available elsewhere.

So called “found” poems almost never work. Some very good images and phrasing all in all however.

Excellent tips for long time runners and those just beginning.

Good book with clearly illustrated pictures demonstrating proper form. Some really good tips that I haven't seen elsewhere.

Last book I've finished in 2018. A great way to end the year!

Just not a lot of good content. A lot of reworks of fairly common knowledge.

Although this is an interesting, beneath the surface examination of a well known ballad it doesn't hold up as a good read for me.

The characters are rather shallow and can be summed up as villain, villain, anti-hero, minor pathetic soul, and bewildered narrator. I'll leave it up to you to judge who is who.

Sharyn McCrumb is an excellent writer who I really want to love again. I hope she gets back to her roots of Appalachian story telling.

You don't have to be an extrovert to be a good introvert. Useful advice that helps you use who you are not what someone else thinks you should become.

Ever have those moments when you fully buy into the conspiracy theorists apocalypse of the moment? This is the book that will be your perfect companion. Be careful as you read it as at some point you are probably going to go into full MRE obtaining, cistern filling, bunker building panic. Enjoy >:)

Well written as usual with some lines that you just want to lick like an ice cream cone till all the sweetness is gone from them.

I felt that I should check the publishing date (2012) as sometimes the advice sounded more like 1953 than 2013. There are a few good items so it gets a slim three.

The right blend of humor, snark, and information.

It took a while to get to the point of the book. Once it did though the point was needle sharp. I found this interesting, engaging, informative, and entertaining.

To use the metaphor in the book, it had a few too many bread crumbs at the start but once you get to the second half then you've got a full satisfying meal.

This book was at best a three and should probably be a one star. The last two chapters are lazy, unbelievable, and completely destroyed the flimsily built universe. Reads like a bad soap opera and I love the circus genre.

Very funny!

Stark. Well crafted. For me probably not a true four but more than a three.

20 minutes later. Sorry couldn't do it. Turn's out it is only a three.

Excellent as always!

Great White Sharks,ghosts, and mysterious islands...what's not to like?

Ms. Casey deftly captures our primal fears of a mouth full of sharp, ragged teeth barreling towards us. She draws us into a world that our reptilian brains are screaming at us to swim»swIM»SWIM away from.

Scary, delicious, and an exciting tour of the Farrallone Islands.

Loved it.

Eight grade female teachers sexual encounters with pubescent males.

Incredibly uncomfortable reading. Excellent story telling.

bored.

Enjoyable read that makes even spread sheets fun. Solid business advice given with a bit of whimsy.

Pardon me while I give this book “damning” praise but the Elders was OK. The writing was smooth and I assume it gives at least one side of one person's disillusionment with Mormonism. For that it kept my interest but at times I was simply apathetic.

I would give this a four if I didn't think those who take the time to read my reviews would take it the wrong way.

Very intriguing glimpse into the mind of an addictive dominatrix. Featured on NPR and by turns funny and complexly disturbing.

I listened to the book and perhaps it was the narrator but I at times thought I was hearing a somewhat clinical pedagogical essay as opposed to being immersed into what must be incredibly distressing situation. It was compelling enough that I finished so it's obviously got legs enough to sustain the reading/listening investment.
