Elizabeth Wissner-Gross
Hudson Street Press, 2007
An eye opener
I agree whole heartedly with the reviewer who called this book an eye opener. Until I read this it never even occurred to me, as manipulative and controlling a parent as I am, to even CONSIDER having my son take the SAT's in the 7th grade. Now I realize its a must, a ...

Just mt 2 cents
We all know HOW to lose weight. Eat less and move more.... DUH! This book is not another diet so, don't look for that. This book is a different approach to changing yourself inside out. I found it really REAL and absolutely doable. Good book!

Beautiful memoir for midlifers

Chris Attwood
Hudson Street Press, 2007
Surprisingly pleased
I bought this book because it was recommended to me by someone I trust, but upon starting to read it, I was almost convinced I would return it. Among other things, the writing style is a mess, the voice of the narrator keeps shifting, the design with purple bars down ...

Buy this for your daughter
This smart and funny book teaches girls that it's OK to be smart, and that they are perfectly capable of kicking a little pre-algebra butt. Though the topic is serious, the writing is lively and breezy. In the prologue, McKellar writes that "lots of people change ...

Mary Enig
Hudson Street Press, 2005
Lifestyle change, not a fad diet
This is an educational book, not your typical diet book. I learned all about the different kinds of fat and why my body needs some and doesn't need others and what foods have the best (or worst) sources. The book is not just about fat either. It is about nutrition; ...
