Helpful Score: 3

Ann Louise Gittleman has written a "food-wise guide for health, beauty, energy, and immunity". It's a diet book.

I love Gittleman's gratitude to those who work with her and those who help her do what she does best -- and she is very special. This book is dedicated to her parents. That's lovely.

I am giving up the book because I find Gittleman herself to be too rigid for me -- her prose sounds like it's all or nothing and I always get the impression that her way is the only way, and I've found that usually isn't true in life.

I've had many of Gittleman's books and have discarded them because I don't care for her style and I know that some of what she has said in her books are not true, so I find her advice to be suspect, though this book is better than most of her others - in my opinion.

Probably I think that because in this book Gittleman seems more moderate, and explains her reasoning for being so. This book won't hurt anyone and probably will help many. I hope that it will please its next owner and that he or she will have success with Gittleman's program, which is not for me.
