| David Sedaris is a talented writer, but his work in this tome is inconsistent. It all goes down smoothly, but never rises to the level of "Dress Your Children in Denim and Corduroy." Each of these short essays was previously published elsewhere and they don't quite come together as an anthology. |

| I'm gravely dissapointed at this book, since hardely any of the articles correspond with what Barney has said. Since the previous authors have no clue I felt the urge to inform all potential buyers not to buy this copy. For example, we all know that Bro Code Article 89 is:
The mom of a bro is always off limits, but the stepmom of a bro is always fair game IF she initiates it and/or is wearing atleast one article of leopard clothing In this travesty Amazon call The Bro Code article 89 is: ... Read More: |

| There are a few very interesting core ideas in this book, and it is helpful to have a few real-life examples such as the story about Jerry Rice, but this book is so tedious to read that I ended up skipping large sections of it, trying to find the good parts without having to wade through everything else.
It may be somewhat counter-intuitive that good performance comes more from practice than it does from genetics and years of experience, so I appreciated a few anecdotes to reinforce the key ... Read More: |

| OK, this is clearly a collection of articles that Michael Lewis had sitting around. He's a good journalist, and I expect he copies and files any bit of good writing that might come in handy as a future reference. Now, about 2 months after the real estate bubble well and truly bursts, he is able to pull out the articles and collate them into a book. That is not a bad thing, per se, but it is certainly something a buyer should know before a purchase. Lewis selected the articles, wrote some, and provides some brief commentary, ... Read More: |

| 76.The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by: Michael Pollan April 11, 2006 |

| I found Michael Pollan's book to be quite informative and interesting. The strength of the book was the detailing of much of the modern food chain and our dependence on but a very few staple items, namely corn and soy, to supply a very high percentage of our caloric needs. The percentage of our total caloric needs ultimately supplied by corn is quite amazing. There are many interesting facts that should make readers much more interested in a more varied diet, and making sure the food they eat is as nutritional as it should be. The weakness ...

| An incredible look at history. Beautifully written. Rich in detail. If you think you understand this period in American history, you will be amazed with this perspective. A must read. |

| I read all of Grisham's books and usually like them, but this is way below standard.
The characters are too stereotypical, they are either perfectly good or perfectly bad; the story is predictable, and there is too much politics. Spoiler: All republicans are bad, all democrats are good. Only republicans take money from big business. |

| As it's title suggests `Blink' is essentially about what happens within those first few seconds of meeting someone new. Reading the book, we quickly learn that first impressions are more important than we realize.
Gladwell uses stories as diverse as dating scenes and military maneuvers to show us just how powerful a first impression is and then shows us how we can use this to our advantage. For a job seeker in particular, this can be a very powerful tool. Knowing how to give the right first impression can make an astounding difference ... Read More: |

| My book-club liked it more than I did, although I was the one who picked it out. It was a good book, I just don't think it will be that memorable to me in the long run.
