This book details how to increase personal feelings of power and self -confidence through the use of body posing. It goes briefly into how the poses are similar to yoga asanas; to me that is very intriguing.

The next time I have an important event I'm going to try posing like superman and see if it helps.

I love glimpses into other peoples lives especially those who have had larger than life experiences or are able to tell their tales in compelling ways. For the most part Mr. Menginie's story rings true but there are, what appear to me, to be several inconsistencies and sometimes things just don't jibe. There are other times where I see glimpses of quite good writing. I'm going with a three this time and hope that he does write another book.

Excellent book. I found myself making multiple notes to ponder and apply.

This memoir about Darlene Barne's time spent cooking in a frat house is funny, sad, and ultimately perfect in every way. Exactly what a memoir should be.

Easy read on permaculture that is interesting and inspiring.

Don't waste your time.

Great story. Good ideas. The whole Democrat/Republican bit felt gratuitous and flat and took me unnecessarily out of the story. Would have been higher if not for that.

This book didn't work, and that makes me sad. Everything else I've read by Johnson has gotten a four or five star.

There was one brilliant line regarding Longmire's being unable to speak Spanish, the inability of the little girl who was accompanying him to speak English, and the mule they were taking back to the ranch unable to speak either language:

“We talked the whole way back to the dry ranch, none of us understanding the other but all of us enjoying the conversation.”

That's the reason Depth of Winter got a three star rather than a two.

Very academic in nature.

I loved this book. I loved the story. I loved the characters. I loved the science. I loved the non-science. I even loved the secondary characters (the Swedes). I loved the resilience. I loved the tautly executed back-story. It was an excellent book that kept me warm despite the -50 degree below temperatures!

Highly recommend!

The humor did not translate well in this book. Skip the first 2/3 of the book - that's when he really has something to say that is actionable and has impact.

Entertaining thriller that is intriguing but not too challenging. I liked it...as others have noted though if you can't deal with ideas that challenge your faith, then this is not the book for you.

ok

Pretty good book but the ending ruined it for me.

Simple book with easily implemented ideas to help you make important decisions. Written for kids but endorsed by a “grownup” :-)

Aggressively anecdote oriented. Last few pages are great.

Barely made it to 4 stars but it did. Really good book that kept me engaged.

Shipwrecked boy in life boat with “tiger” real or metaphorical. Not interested till chapter 49 and annoyed by the end.

A pretty much step by step way to create a new life.

Helpful!

Decent book but nothing ground breaking. The most interesting part was his personal stories. Some good websites but nothing again that can't be found elsewhere. If you are looking for a great book on organization then get “Getting Things Done” by David Allen. Sorry Doug

Parts are interesting but it's really not that great a book to me. Cute.

There are some books that you can tell were good by the number of slips of paper you have in them. This book is chock full of little bits of paper for URLs, and things I want to remember, and generally good stuff I want to copy. Ms. Slim has some excellent ideas to help you make the jump.

OK. A paean to irresponsibility that's pleasant enough.

Like blowing bubbles. Lot's of fun while you're doing it but will not leave a permanent mark. Highly recommended as a fun, slightly steamy, summer mystery/romance.
