Ugh. This book started in the middle of the action and tried to explain what had happened in the past. It was confusing and didn’t develop the characters very well.

Meh. Nothing in this story made me laugh even though a friend recommending it said it was funny. Rated R for language and sex.

This book needed pictures. Pictures of before and after outfits from the stories, pictures of identifying colors in irises and skin, and pictures of the color swatches that are listed for you to choose from.

This book is ok. I don’t think I will continue reading it.

Tried reading this book, but the characters just annoyed me. There were circumstances in my life that may have made this the wrong time to read this book. I might try again in the future with my bookclub.

Too many curse words, insults, and references to piss within the first chapter. I think I’ll read something else.

Too depressing and dark for reading in the middle of winter.

There is so much fighting that there isn't much plot. I don't think I am going to finish this.

Don’t read this book on a gloomy rainy day. It’s too depressing.

I liked the stories at the beginning. They switched to more facts and data.

The kids loved the Prankster story. I thought all the stories were weird. They tried to teach morals that I doubt my kids got.

The boy I. This book has two dads. I wasn’t ready to have that discussion with my 7 and 5 year old so I decided to read them a different book.

I was very confused by the format until I went to lookup information about the author and realized that she liked conducting interviews so each section was a different voice. The history timeline at the front was very helpful.

Pretty redundant after reading one of his other books.

Boring

This book was good! I learned some physics from it. It does take mental investment. I need to pick it up again when I can devote the brain power to it.

When I started reading this book I shared it with everyone of my friends who likes to read. I am blown away by how something as simple as how we breathe can permanently affect our health.

I have tried 5 times to breathe in for 5, hold for 5, breathe out for 10, and hold for 5, which repeated three times is very relaxing. I don’t like exercising very much, but that is the method the book recommends is the best for completing the stress cycle. It also suggests using creative skills like art or writing. I’m not convinced that there are human givers and human beings that divide along the gender line.

A book about being more open when talking to your kids about money. Why do you ask? is the first question to ask in response to any money inquiries.

At first I was very taken in by the anecdotes about people who had healed autoimmune diseases on his diet. It probably does work but it’s so restrictive that I couldn’t imagine myself on it for the rest of my life. Turns out Dr. Gundry sells expensive supplements that make up for the nutrients in the foods you eliminate from your diet. The author is very persuasive but his references don’t back up his claims.

This book helped me improve my relationship with my 2 year old. I went from being mad at him and mad at myself for being mad to being happier in his presence because he was happier. I tried being more empathetic when he threw tantrums which actually did help him calm down faster than disciplining him.
