There are some very interesting puzzles in this book. I like the fact that the answers are on the same page as the question. Good for kids and adults.

This is a cute little board book. My son (1.5) loves to look at all the colorful pictures. This a shortened version of the movie Cars.

This was a very interesting book. The author was very honest in his writing about patients and the trials of being a new doctor. I read this book on a 4 hour flight to Las Vegas!

This book is very inspiring. Susan Blech tells it like it is! Not a light-hearted memoir, but definitely funny at times. I felt like she didn't try to hold anything back.

I never even finished this one. Her way of writing about the crappy childhood she had was too harsh for me.

This was a very funny memoir about OCD. The writing style was smooth and kept the reader (I listened on cassette) wanting more anecdotes about growing up taking religion and cleanliness to an extreme. I look forward to more from Jennifer Traig.

I loved this book! Kristan Higgins made me laugh and cry out loud. It's more a chick lit book than a romance, IMO. I loved her easy writing style, and the way she made the main character, Millie, so real. I will be reading more of Ms Higgins books.

Very funny book, not to be taken too seriously. If you have hypochondria, I would not read it because you will find that many more things to worry about getting!

I didn't get all the way through this one. I felt bad for the mom because she had post partum depression and her son had colic and allergies and rashes, but it was very depressing. I hope the ending is uplifting for whoever can get through it!
