This book changed my life, and I'm not talking about weight loss either. After 17 years as a wife and mother, I finally understand the concept of nutrition. I am working every day to re-engineer my family's "food habits". This includes my diabetic (Type II) husband who, UNDER DOCTOR'S SUPERVISION, tried this plan and gained control over his sugar. NO OTHER combiniation of medicine, diet and exercise gave him the control he now has over this disease. As an added bonus, after implementing this plan in our family for my husband, I lost 35 pounds. However, keep in mind, this wasn't the reason I bought the book. I bought the book because I was looking for a way to keep my husband around for the next 50 years. I think this might be a big part of the answer!

Harry Potter is back again and just as good!

Rating: 5/5

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secerets is a great story. Usually, sequels are really boring, but that definately is not true about this book. I can't believe how much trouble Harry gets into this time. I don't think I can make it long enough until the next book in the series comes out. I just wish J.K. Rowling could keep writing about Harry Potter forever! I think I have Harry Potter fever!

Very good for understanding the subject
Book title: Financial Reporting and Analysis (3rd Edition)
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
The book provides very clear explanations about different aspects of financial statement analysis. The only drawbacks are that the book is a little simplistic and that problem solutions are sorely needed. However, I am sure you are not going to use oit for self-study- you would be using it as a textbook in a financial statement analysis class. The professor, would be able to provide you with solutions (as in my case- thanks Dr. Church!) and will also help you out with some of the tougher stuff. Whatever, the book does an excellent job in explaining the basic stuff- much better than the Sondhi book.

An open heart surgery!
Book title: Broken Wings
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
If writers are surgeons of the heart, this piece by Gibran is an open heart surgery
For those who have been in love and have "lost" it some where along the way and were unable to sustain it within their human means, this will indeed rekindle all those bygone feelings
And for those who have never been in love, this book will give you a taste of the beauty and wonders of love and also a flavour of how deathening it is when it slips away from your fingers
Gibran to me equates life to a sentence, and love is the full stop that completes it
Without love from another, living becomes meaningless
It will be like wishing to fly and soar the skies without wings to do so

A unique and real romance
Book title: White Knight (White Quartet)
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
As a devoted romance reader, I grow tired of reading characters who are too-too perfect from page one. Perfect house, perfect family, perfect life, perfect everything...WHITE KNIGHT was so incredibly wonderful because it started out with a hero, Christian, who was tough and flawed and hard-edged in the beginning, a result of the the life he'd been born into, but who changed over the course of the story, because of the unselfish love of his heroine, Grace, living up to the title of "White Knight". This story demonstrated beautifully how love can truly change a person's life and it dealt with some real-life issues that a good many romance writers unfortunately shy away from. I commend Ms. Reding on a job well done!

SO MUCH MORE THAN A BOOK
Book title: The Garden of Abdul Gasazi
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
If there were a so-much-more-than-a-book category, this title would head the list. The Garden of Abdul Gasazi written and gloriously illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg, and read by Jason Robards is a standout. Threats are more menacing; adventures are higher when recounted in Robards' inimitable voice. This, Van Allsburg's first book, winner of the Caldecott Award and deemed Best Illustrated Book of the Year by the New York Times, is the imaginative story of a little boy and a very mean magician. Spectacular reading and listening!
