Although this book is a few years old and a lot of the info is available on the internet, it was great to have on hand and flip through as we recently bought and sold homes.

I've watched Cesar's dog show off and on for many years, and although this book doesn't add much, it was still an entertaining read. I agree with many reviewers that the actual training sections boil down to a few pages, but explaining some of the dog psychology, and getting more information on some of the dogs on his shows was very interesting. I think I get the basic ideas behind his methods, and can pick and choose what is applicable to my situation. If you like Cesar's dog show, and just want more information about dog behavior, pack psychology, how to set those "rules, boundaries and limitations" etc, then this is a good read. If you are looking for specific tips on dog training, then you should skip this book.

This was a very detailed archaeologic murder mystery. I have been a big fan of Lisa See's novels "Snowflower and the Secret Fan" and "Peony in Love." It was hard to tell that this was the same author. Personally I found the book very dry and way too much history, but any history or archaeology buff would probably appreciate it. I guess there are 2 other books in this series with the same lead characters, and anyone who likes this book would presumably like the others.

This book was REALLY hard to get interested in. Apparently the author is a philosopher, so the first 80-90 pages are fairly difficult to read. Luckily, I found that out by reading some amazon.com reviews, and stuck with it. The book does get more and more interesting, and becomes engrossing, fascinating, lovely, and then, surprising. It was worth the effort!

This book is one of the few I've read that actually goes into the gory details without being detached. The story was very familiar, so sort of comforting to hear another person's recounting. There are lots of typeos, so don't expect high level reading, but it will grab your heart strings. Great book for anyone going through this.

Another good book from Steig Larsson. Engaging and fun. Like the first book, there are a lot of characters and it's hard to keep straight, but the story is fun and it's a good read.

What a neat story. This phenomenal kid surpassed tons of barriers to becoming a world-famous pianist. It really highlights the drive that one needs to be world-class at anything.

Wow, this was a depressing book. I have not seen the movie yet but could totally picture that this book was written for Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio. I was surprised to find the book was written in 1961! The author definitely conveys the sense of despondency that these characters apparently feel.
