Top Maui Restaurants 2010 from Thrifty to Four star: Indispensable Advice from Experts Who Live, Play and Eat on Maui Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is one of two guidebooks to Maui that we consider a must. Unlike the free guides readily available everywhere, the authors give you the straight scoop on a whole range of restaurants. It is very easy on Maui to find terrible restaurants and leave feeling ripped off. Even the bad ones are expensive....

On Writing Well, 30th Anniversary Edition: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I usually only write reviews for books I can praise. I actively avoid giving criticism about books that have, as this one does, a large and enthusiastic following.

Running for their Lives: The story of how one man ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks to help cure leukemia Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Unfortunately, Mr. Gruber's publisher didn't take the time to provide Amazon with some summary information to help Amazon shoppers understand what this book is and isn't. That is a shame. This is not a book on how to run marathons, or race strategy, or training programs. Mr. Gruber and a handful of other...

The Lost Classics of Jack O'connor: Forty Exciting Stories From the Pages of Outdoor Life Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I started reading O'Connor in the mid-70's, when he was still an active magazine writer. I have several of his books, at least one which has subsequently become a hard-to-find collector item. His somewhat acerbic style was appealing to me, and while his technical knowledge was vast, he was an advocate...

Jocks: True Stories of America's Gay Male Athletes Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As mentioned by other reviewers, this book is not intended to titilate or be an erotic novel. Rather, it is a group of true stories of coaches and athletes at the high school, college and beyond levels of competition. Perhaps because I heard about the nature of the book from a friend before I bought...

Changing Children's Behavior by Changing the People, Places and Activities in Their Lives Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If I read a "self help" book it indicates that there are major problems in the area! I would much rather read a novel, but we have had such a hard time with our, now 12, daughter that we were grasping at anything. This book gave us wonderful insight and let us know that we are not alone in parenting...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Paula Z.
