I love Smitten Kitchen and am so excited that Deb's book is finally almost available. I've made many things from her site and am never let down.

I've read this book at least three times and am surprised each time. The scope is amazing and I feel connected to each character which is a huge accomplishment. I love that each time I read it I get the feeling that I am running into old friends again and I'm glad that the book is long enough for me to spend enough time with each of these friends.

Some may have been dissuaded by the obscurity of alligator wrestling but that was the aspect that enticed me most and also disappointed me. The writing was nice and clear but I just wanted more circusy things, maybe I'm a needy reader

Meh, I finished it so it clearly wasn't terrible but it could have been better. I loved being transported back to the era but I felt the book lacked explanations for many of the turns of events.

Much more interesting in thought provoking than I had anticipated and I loved it. I am very fold of King's usual thriller but I loved the twist on time travel and what a person has the ability to change. Made me wonder what I would do if I could change past events of my life and how that change would affect my present.

Unexpectedly loved it. I don't know what I was expecting when I started this book but it blew away all expectations. I had not anticipated a mystery involving the complexities of love and individual histories. At points Goolricks insights into human nature reminded me of East of Eden by Steinbeck which is one of my favorite books so that is a huge accomplishment. I frequently felt like I knew what was coming and loved I was always surprised.

I love a medical history book as much as the next gal but this left something to be desired. As with many nonfiction books I feel like Tucker tried to tie too many unrelated stories together. Of course I understand all historical events are related but at points it felt like the book would have been better if told in vignettes about how each region was approaching blood transfers. Over all pretty good but there are better medicinal history books I prefer.

what shocked me most about this book was how many observations are still relevant today, and how many of predictions came true.

I really just wanted to express how happy I am with my Indispensable subscription. This is my third package and I enjoyed the others and was very much looking forward to this one. It arrived on my birthday in such nice packaging I considered putting it on the table with the rest of my presents but temptation got the better of me and I loved every bit of it. So thank you Powell's for my wonderful birthday present, you have yet to disappoint me.

Great book for anyone interested in good food. Alice is focused on local seasonal food and this book explains the importance of that.

Loved it. Reminds me of something I wish I could have written myself. Very funny yet insightful and intelligent. I also find it very refreshing to hear from a female nerd who loves the gory (and somewhat boring) bits of history.
