- eat pray love book
Product Description
This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls "Anne Lamott’s hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister") is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.Similar Products

The National Platform of Common Sense
 |
Product Description
WARNING: THE COMMON SENSE CZAR HAS DETERMINED THAT CAREER POLITICIANS ARE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. By abandoning the notion of "political correctness" and applying his own irreverent brand of satirical humor, the Common Sense Czar puts everything into perspective and brings a little "common sense" to our current political environment. The National Platform of Common Sense provides an entertaining, yet informative alternative to the Democratic and Republican National Platforms. The Common Sense Czar bases his Platform upon the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights ... along with some common sense ... three documents and an intellectual approach that appear to be "missing-in-action" in the National Platforms of our major Parties. The National Platform of Common Sense is also part of a trilogy that includes The Left isn't Right and The Right is Wrong,* which blend the actual texts of the Democratic and Republican National Platforms with the Common Sense Czar's "interpretation" of what the Parties were really thinking at the time. Neither Party escapes the acerbic wit of the Common Sense Czar, but at least you'll find yourself grinning ... even when it's your Party that's being roasted. It doesn't matter which book you read first. This is America! You have the freedom to read them in any order ... until some new regulatory agency decides to make the decision for you. And when you're finished reading, you'll join a remarkably elite group of individuals who have literally read the Platforms of both Parties ... and you will rightfully be entitled to call yourself an "Informed Voter." Don't be surprised if The National Platform of Common Sense makes the most "sense" despite its tongue-in-cheek nature. It offers a unique blend of history, research and humor that's sure to provoke thoughts as well as smiles.Similar Products

Product Description
That brand-new physique you’ve been waiting for, the leaner, fitter, healthier body you thought you’d never had. Eat This, Not That! 2011—the latest, most up-to-date book in the best-selling weight loss franchise—is ready to start stripping extra pounds from your body today. And once you lose that weight, you’re going to keep it off. Forever.
That’s because Eat This, Not That! is a tool. It’s designed to make smart food choices easier, no matter where you’re making them. Consider just a handful of real stories from real people who’ve shed 25, 50, 75 pounds—or more!—and you’ll understand why Eat This, Not That! is “The no-diet weight-loss solution”:
• Michael Colombo of Staten Island, New York, shed 91 pounds in just over 8 months and conquered life-threatening sleep apnea, after picking up a copy of Eat This, Not That!. “My confidence has sky-rocketed!” he says.
• Erika Bowen of Minneapolis, Minnesota, dropped 84 pounds—without dieting. “I feel like I’ve always wanted to feel,” Bowen reports. Once she discovered the truth about her food, she learned she could lose weight and never feel hungry.
• Dana Bickelman of Waltham, Massachusetts, lost 70 pounds after discovering the shocking truth about the foods she was eating. Her secret: She learned to indulge—even at her favorite restaurants—but to do it more smartly.

Eat This, Not That! teaches you how to read nutrition labels and decipher misleading menu descriptions. It pairs classic food swaps, and helps you cut hundreds—or even thousands—of calories from your daily diet, without feeling like you’ve deprived yourself at all. Consider:
*One of America’s chain restaurants is serving a pasta dish with more than 2,700 calories? (That’s nearly a pound of flab—in one meal!)
*Choosing Breyer’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Ice Cream over Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream will save you 200 calories per scoop?
*The wrong milk shake at Cold Stone will cost you more than a day’s worth of calories? (But a smart swap will eliminate 1,520 of them!)

Product Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn returns with yet another explosive thriller, introducing the young Mitch Rapp, as he takes on his first assignment.Before he was considered a CIA superagent, before he was thought of as a terrorist’s worst nightmare, and before he was both loathed and admired by the politicians on Capitol Hill, Mitch Rapp was a gifted college athlete without a care in the world . . . and then tragedy struck.Two decades of cutthroat, partisan politics has left the CIA and the country in an increasingly vulnerable position. Cold War veteran and CIA Operations Director Thomas Stansfield knows he must prepare his people for the next war. The rise of Islamic terrorism is coming, and it needs to be met abroad before it reaches America’s shores. Stansfield directs his protÉgÉe, Irene Kennedy, and his old Cold War colleague, Stan Hurley, to form a new group of clandestine operatives who will work outside the normal chain of command—men who do not exist.
What type of man is willing to kill for his country without putting on a uniform? Kennedy finds him in the wake of the Pan Am Lockerbie terrorist attack. Two-hundred and seventy souls perished that cold December night, and thousands of family and friends were left searching for comfort. Mitch Rapp was one of them, but he was not interested in comfort. He wanted retribution.
Six months of intense training has prepared him to bring the war to the enemy’s doorstep, and he does so with brutal efficiency. Rapp starts in Istanbul, where he assassinates the Turkish arms dealer who sold the explosives used in the Pan Am attack. Rapp then moves onto Hamburg with his team and across Europe, leaving a trail of bodies. All roads lead to Beirut, though, and what Rapp doesn’t know is that the enemy is aware of his existence and has prepared a trap. The hunter is about to become the hunted, and Rapp will need every ounce of skill and cunning if he is to survive the war-ravaged city and its various terrorist factions.
As action-packed, fast-paced, and brutally realistic as it gets, Flynn’s latest page-turner shows readers how it all began. Behind the steely gaze of the nation’s ultimate hero is a young man primed to become an American Assassin.

By Howard N Singer (Bangkok, Thailand)
Vince Flynn's new best seller, "American Assassin," is a very poor book. The first 25% of the book is an unbelievable and stupid description of efforts to train CIA agents. It is, frankly, dispiriting that any author would think his or her readers so gullible as to believe that what is described here could actually exist, or be successful. It takes navy seals training to a new level and introduces Stan Hurley, the lead CIA trainer, who behaves so stupidly that he could not exist in any organization for more than a few hours. His relationship to other characters in the CIA is juvenile. After the story moves to the Middle East and Europe, the plot does pick up, but it's so routine and hackneyed, that it's only mildly interesting. The main event of the novel, the breaking into of a computer network, probably an impossibility, is never explained; the author just mentions that the CIA was able to do it. Contrast this with the meticulous and exciting detailing of a similar intelligence operation in "The Rembrandt Affair" by Daniel Silva. Details are not important to Flynn as, at one point, he places Beirut on the ocean. His cartoonish characters would probably not know the difference. I don't know if I was more annoyed at the author for writing this mediocrity, or at my fellow reviewers who raved about the book, or at myself for actually reading the entire book. We're all losers as far as I'm concerned.

American Assassin: A Thriller
Reviewed by Tracy L. Karol
After the last Flynn novel, I wondered where he would take us on our journey with Mitch Rapp. Our hero has weathered devastating heartbreak, betrayals, corrupt (and/or stupid politicians), more danger than any James Bond character, and has barely managed to keep his soul intact. I find it a great testament to Mr. Flynn's writing and creativity that he has penned a character who has evolved so much. Yet there was always something missing. We knew from previous books that Rapp had been recruited to join the CIA, but his early years with the agency remained a mystery. In fact, just before I started reading this book someone who wanted to start the series asked me if he needed to start at the beginning or if he could pick up anywhere and understand the books. I hesitated to answer, but after reading "American Assassin" I can fully endorse starting with the latest release.
Obviously Flynn gives enough background material in each book that a new reader can enjoy the novel, but I'm personally glad that I actually read "Term Limits" years ago when it was first released, then read the rest of the books as they were published. Yes, it was agony waiting for each to come out, but they were all well worth the wait. That said, "American Assassin" is one book that anyone can actually start reading now and then go back and read the other books in the series ("Term Limits" is probably optional, but still a great read). It goes back in time and describes a young Mitch Rapp, just graduated from college, recruited by Dr. Irene Kennedy to join a super-secret black ops program to fight terrorism.
Not only was the book fascinating, it was wonderful to take a peek at the lives of other major characters in the series, some who are no longer around. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I quickly read "Transfer of Power" again and am now reading "The Third Option." So I would say if you've never read Vince Flynn but have wanted to try out his series, "American Assassin" is a great place to start. While it's the latest book, it goes back in time so you don't miss anything from the later books, and if you love a good thriller, you'll have a plethora waiting for you to read once you finish it. And trust me, Flynn knows of what he writes. When I check out the copyright date on these older novels, it's clear that Flynn had a firm grasp on the threat our country was facing from Islamic extremists, prior to 9/11. He has been spot-on ever since. I highly recommend all of his novels, not only for their entertainment value, but because they are actually educational as well.
A few times I have been lucky enough to stumble upon an author who has already produced a body of work that is fantastic, and after reading one novel I tear through all the other published titles (this happened with Robert Crais and Nelson DeMille). If you haven't started reading Flynn, this is your chance. I'm now on my third go-round with some of these books; that's how much I enjoy them.
Happy reading!

I've never given up on a book in the first chapter before but this felt like 2nd grade character and plot development. I'm returning the book tomorrow. It's frustrating because I love action books and was expecting good things.

By T. Howlin (Virginia)
If this book was actually written, in its entirety, by Flynn, I'd be very surprised. There are abrupt shifts in writing style throughout the book that makes me think it was submitted unfinished and closed up by a ghost writer or that is was co-written with someone else for some reason. In any case, I found the book boring with little suspense. I think that perhaps this particular series has run its course and it's time for Flynn to seek a new direction. It even seems like Flynn himself may be tired of the character and the plot lines and needs to flex his creative muscles into a different direction - same genre, just a different approach.
If you haven't already bought the book, get on the waiting list at the library and save yourself the cost of the book.

By Deborah Atherton (New York, NY United States)
It's been a very long time since I bought my last issue of Superman but I was riveted by the cover of this truly amazing graphic novel and the contents do not disappoint. This retelling of the myth we all know so well speaks to our era of failing newspapers, disappointing scientific progress, leaders who fail to lead, and a military trying heroically to cope with a situation that lies far, far out of their area of expertise. And it does all this while evoking a Metropolis where prosperity lies in the hands of a privileged few and the rest of the populace is hanging on in cafes and bars drinking cocktails and contemplating a somewhat dim future. J. Michael Straczynski and Shane Davis have some of the advantages of ancient Greek playwrights in telling their story--we all know how it comes out, so they can take a little time, despite the very condensed format of the graphic novel, to really give us subtleties and complexities of character and scene. The story is beautifully drawn and inked, using a muted 21st century palette. It's a brilliant re-thinking and re-imagining of the Superman story, introducing some moral complexity and ambiguity without losing the optimism and inspiration of the original. And it can't just be me who is thinking that they've already got some unbeatable storyboards for a movie.

By Dylan Luciano (USA)
Despite the popularity and iconic nature of Superman, he has always been criticized by the general public as being way too powerful, not having enough faults, being boring etc. I thought of Superman like this for awhile myself until I read John Byrne's Superman reboot and realized I was completely wrong about him. This book seems to do the same thing only it also manages to put Superman in a modern day setting. Superman is cleverly written as not only being a different character from the original but also having faults without being self loathing and whiny (contrary to what some others have said)
In fact the only real complaint that I have with this book is how silly the main villain looks. Alien beings have certainly looked worse (Like in old B movies when they are wrapped in tin foil) but he makes me laugh just by his appearance. I also have the minor nitpick of Lex Luthor not appearing. If only because he is usually mentioned or shown in Superman's various origins.
The creative team behind this book is fantastic with J. Michael Straczynski's strong writing and Shane Davis unique artwork. (The cover itself is enough incentive for me to want to pick up the book)
2010-10-29
By Enrique Trevino (Cd. Juarez, Mexico)
Straczyinski is an author I like a lot. He wrote the great TV series Babylon 5, he wrote some really good Spider-man comics and he wrote one of my favorite comics "Midnight Nation". When I found out his favorite superhero was Superman and that he would write a graphic novel about him, I got excited. Before reading this book, I noticed that it was getting poor reviews online (4.5/10 on IGN and 2/5 in CBR) so my expectations lowered after noticing that.
Overall, I thought the book was pretty good. It had a beginning, a middle and an end. It had good art, it had nice moments and it was mostly well done. I liked that the book considers that the US would look for the meteor when it arrived on Earth, I liked that Clark Kent considers many jobs before taking journalism and that there's an actual reason for him doing that. I like that wearing that uniform felt silly for a teenager, but he did for his parents. I even liked the villain in the book, mainly because I don't think of the villain as just that one character, but the whole backstory with the destruction of Krypton.
However, I do have some problems with the book. In the beginning when Clark goes on trials for a professional football team, they say they put him as left tackle, however the actual sequence of drawings suggests that he was a defensive end. I have a problem with this, because it should be easy to check on wikipedia what the position is for the person drawing it. Another problem I have is when Clark writes some equations to "solve" a really advanced problem for some chemists that have been working on it for three years. The equation looks like something a third grader could write. It would have been nice to see an advanced equation or even gibberish would be better. It just looked silly.
Obviously, those problems are minor, but I think that attention to detail is the sort of thing that separates good books from great books.
I think the comic is worth reading, specially if you're new to the character. A great book to get new audiences to try out superheros.
2010-10-28
By W. Gullige (Orlando, FL)
This story starts right as Clark is settling in to a small apartment in Metropolis. Jonathan Kent has just died and Clark has graduated from a junior college and is trying to find a so he can take care of his mother. He is about 20 at this point. He isn't "emo" and the overall story really has nothing in common with "Twilight." DC (more specifically, Dan DiDio) said those things to boost sales. Salesmen often lie about their product in order to sell it. Even when they don't need to.
The story stays true to the traditional continuity in many ways. They cover how the Kents found Clark, where the suit and name came from and all of that. At a core level, neither the character or the overall story have really changed. Some things 'are' different though, and those are really interesting.
The fate of Krypton has changed somewhat. The end result is the same in that it blows up, but the reason why is different. It makes a lot of sense though. That is the case with most of the changes made to the traditional Superman continuity. More sense has been made of it.
Now, there are things in this story that made me wonder if Straczynski has simply run out of ideas. For example: Superman is fighting a villain near the end of the story. It is arguably the most important struggle in the whole comic and they stop it dead for a villain monologue. That is almost forgivable though. It's the way the author tries to excuse it that drives me nuts. Between that and the constant flashbacks, the story gets really slow at times. This is why I only gave it four stars. There was some exposition that almost made me drop it to three, but I loved the art.
The art is just great. The standout piece, I think, is the redesign of the iconic suit. It stays true to the classic design while giving it a really nice modern look that I could definitely see in a future Superman movie.
As a side note, I think what qualifies as a 'good' Superman story depends on the Superman you grew up with. My earliest recollection of Superman is the Superboy TV show. From there, I've always watched or read something "Superman" in some form all my life, and he is updated often to keep his relevance, so I'm used to the changes. A casual fan or someone who has based their entire fandom of Superman on the 90s cartoon or on the Donner movies may have some trouble getting into this comic. I would venture to say that this is where some of the negative critique is coming from. More accurately, I would venture to say that a lot of websites are posting reviews without actually reading the comic (cough *ign* cough). Don't listen to them, listen to actual fans.
The comic is very good all around and is a really decent price on Amazon right now, so I would say get it while the gettin' is good. I would also recommended "All-star Superman vol. 1 & 2."
4 stars out of 5. Bring on "Batman: Earth One"!

Everyone know Supes' origin. He's a icon. Hundreds of writers and artists have had their piece to add to the mythos. However, nobody writes Superman like J. Michael Straczynski, and Shane Davis' art is nothing short of amazing.
Now, this isn't necessarily the Superman that you're used to. This isn't the Superman who faces apocalyptic dangers with a silent, confident smile before wading into the fray and confronts New Gods before breakfast. Really, it's more about the man than the "super". This is about a Clark Kent who isn't sure about his place in the world, who is an outsider looking in. This is you, or me, or anyone who's gone out on their own for the first time and tried to make something of themselves, unsure and alone.
Superman: Earth One is an amazing coming of age story, a story about finding oneself, and standing up in the face of adversity, even if it's the last thing that you want to do. It's about doing the right thing, even if you have other options. It's quintessential Superman.

Product Description
Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.
Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody’s business, but she can’t mind her tongue, so she’s lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.
Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t.

I started this book, well, because the rating had been so high. The more I read, the more confused I got. Why do other people like it so much? Even after reading all those good reviews, I still don't get it. Its story is about an old topic. People nowadays can hardly relate to it. The characters are too black or white, either good or bad, no depth.

It took me a while to get to this book but I was so glad I did. It was such an interesting read that I breezed right through it but I didn't want it to end! Stockett's writing style is supberb, using many "voices" for her story. It makes you appreciate and understand what people went through during that era. I certainly will be looking for more of her books.
