This book, about a boy in a dress, funnily enough, was a wonderful way to pass an hour. It's a story with real characters (prejudices, quirks, sadness and all) and a boy who has the courage to be who he is, with a little encouragement and support from his friends to boot. A great book, David Walliams has done a good job on his first go-round as an author, even throwing a good-humored dig at "Little Britain". Quentin Blake's illustrations are a wonderful as ever. I hope Mr. Walliams writes again - and soon!

Having Hypothyroidism and being a massive book nerd, this tome seemed like the perfect go-to reference guide, chock-full of useful information that I'd use over and over again. Sadly, it is not. While it's certainly well-written and has a lot of information, being a massage therapist and using CAM as my main source of healthcare for most of my life, there didn't seem to be much here that was new or exciting for me to read about. I suspect I'm in the minority here, but there you have it.
If you suspect you might have this condition, or if you have no information readily available to you on the topic, this would be the perfect book. As for me, I'll keep looking for that perfect hypothyroid reference.

This is a somewhat-dated book about massage for the average person. As a professional massage therapist, I found many things at fault here, primarily regarding draping, nudity, and some of the massage "moves". Recommended only for a lay person, specifically one in a romantic relationship who is very comfortable with the naked body. It's also got lots of illustrations of nude men and women, so keep that in mind when requesting.

Cute and very true to what and how Jane wrote, a great addition to the Austen genre. Fun twists of characters that we all know and love (or love to loathe), with just enough clues revealed to keep you guessing whodunit. Plus, it's nice to hear both Elizabeth AND Darcy's point of view, along with standard Third Person. A nice start to the series!

I don't know why I waited so long to start this book. This wonderfully gorgeous start to the Inspector Gamache series is so well-written with enough of a twist (or two) to make this un-put-downable. Treat yourself and step into Three Pines for a break from the humdrum realities of life!
