My wife and I vacationed in St. Louis with our 2-year-old son and used this book to plan our trip. It was invaluable, pointing out activities we never would have known about otherwise. This book helped make our trip one of the best vacations we've ever had.

I keep 2 copies of this book handy: one in the car and one by the phone. I have recently purchased an updated copy and found the information current and accurate. It gives information on places as diverse as parks, restaurants, bookstores, museums, and the zoo. There are many fun ideas included that I would have never thought of myself. For example, you can ride the Amtrak train from Kirkwood to Downtown very cheaply and the kids have a ball. My 4-year-old son used the facilities twice in the 1/2 hour it took just because it was such a unique experience! Anyone living in St Louis or just visiting shouldn't be without this book!

This book is very emotional and speaks to issues in both sexes. The book examines emotional responses to various life situations. Well done!

E.J. Jacobs have hit the ball out of the park. I love this book it was so intense and honest. You will have to think about what you read.

The book gives advise on healthy lifestyle factors that may reduce the risk of cancer. New and better methods of breast self-exam are taught along with step-by-step pictures. The book describes breast changes to look for and when to see a doctor. A listing of medications that may cause breast changes is included. There is a very good explanation of different types of breast abnormalities. The book also has a good discussion of diagnostic and surgical procedures. The book is easy to follow and understand, and it has a glossary of medical terms used in breast care.

This book has excellent insight into online dating and is told in a fresh, tongue in cheek manner that never grates on your nerves. I highly recommend this one if you are just getting started online, or if you are having problems with it. I also liked and would also recommend Dating Sense: The Practical Way to Meet, Date and Marry the Right Person.

This book gives great practical advice that you would only get from a really caring and Honest best friend. It really motivated me. Well written and organized, really helpful.

Fish stew really had me day dreaming... the nostalgia from the 70's and all. Revalle's style musters light-hearted cynicism; a rollercoaster ride account of an addict that became afflicted at a young age and survived. The notion people with drug problems die is sometimes too simplistic and many times a false reality. Revalle's snapshot memoir style vacillates from happy times to torrid life threatening situations, with haunting realism of a life-long struggle.

I wasn't sure what to make of the book when it was first given to me. Because it's self-published it doesn't have the traditional front and back matter one usually sees. The title reveals little of its contents. So I was actually surprised at how much I liked Fish Stew. The book is essentially the reflections of a recovering drug addict who began his life as a son of a military officer and his ultimate fall into the bizarre culture of drug addiction. It is as fascinating as it is sad. As a psychotherapist, I would say that this book is a must read for psychotherapists, chemical dependency counselors, psychology professors and their students desiring to have a better understanding of the challenges faced in the world of drug addiction and recovery. It is a book that would be sure to spark interesting discussion in the classroom or group setting or even at home with an older child ready to spread their wings in a dangerous world. This book fills the gap where most textbooks fail, showing us the first hand account of a personal struggle. The book reads like free association. The wording is not perfect, but I prefer to liken it to poetry. Like poetry the author's meaning isn't always clear, and sometimes the interpretation is left to the reader. In the end the reader wants closure, but there is no such satisfaction. Like any true addiction it is a process not a point reached. Fish Stew will lead all readers to pray, to ponder, and to think.

The books are exliant becouse they ar very adventurest and Icould read them every night but that quite hard becouse I'v got to go to school but I'm reading a good book at the moment from Enid Blyton and it name is The Island of Adventure non of my friend like it they all like scary stuff but I like adventure things.

When a tree falls on George's house, the Famous Five are sent to a fellow scientist's house. "Sooty" shows them how to have fun, by climbing on the city walls and going through secret tunnels. George gets in trouble, and is locked in her room untill her dad arrives. Meanwhile Timmy disappers, and Block ,deaf, is seen talking with a well known smuggler. When George's dad and Sooty disapper, the Five must find them before it's too late, but do they suspect the wrong person?

We thought this book was so cool that we wrote a Haiku on it;

Five go to smugglers top pop, They have adventures, Oh no, it's time to go home.

Easter Gale Castle on top of the hill Sinister tower Dogs not allowed Uncle Quentin is kidnapped Timmy unearths fugitives

I think the coolest chapter is the one where Block gets a surprise- it was so full of suspense. The second coolest chapter is the one called Sooty Lenoir. My most scariest moment was when Timmy fell into the marsh and the lorry driver had to use his planks to help pull him out. I felt so scared because I thought Timmy would die, and the Famous Five would have to become the Famous Four, and they might not be able to solve adventures the same. The secret passages were real spooky. I wish we had secret passages in our house.

Read all of the series...

I hope you too will agree that this is the coolest one.

What a riot. I LOVED this book. Maybe I should provide a very brief history of my first jobs: My first job was as a dishwasher. Later, I was promoted to busboy, then to cook, then finally to waiter, all over a span of many years. Even if you've only held one such job (Cabbie? Bartender?), you will relate to all of the stories, since really, how many jobs can you name that AREN'T service oriented?

This collection of stories is simultaneously irreverent, entertaining, insightful, a little nuts and even disturbing. Actually, it is more than a great collection of stories. This book is also a collection interviews, photographs, drawings and even a graphic short story (for lack of a better description), all relating to one of a myriad of different service industries that everyone seems to have worked for at one time, or another. After reading the entire book, I must admit I am glad I never worked some of the jobs referred to in a few of the stories... That is one thing I love about engaging books, however. I enjoy reading stories that create new experiences for me (vicariously, that is).

About 1/3 of the way through the collection of stories, I started turning to each of the chapters that had Ryan's name attached to them (interviews or as the author). After finishing the entire book, I am dying to find other things Ryan has written or edited.

Attention: Leah Ryan! Where are more books by you? I need another fix.

Attention: Everyone else. Buy this book, and enjoy. Thoroughly.

Read this book! It's full of delicious anectotes and wry observations about the workplace and the tendency forpeople to treat those in the service industry like servants.

Ryan is able to, in a light and humorous way, portray the desperation of wage slaves and their plight.

Great read!
Straight to the point, relevant, usable information and training that will improve your professional and personal life. Easy to read and a lot of material packed into quick chapters and sections. After you read the book, you'll need to keep it on the desk to refer back to until you master all of the great skills you will learn.

Buy it (and the work book)

From Chump to Champ: How Individuals Go from Good to Great

Loved this book! It is very articulate and the short chapters make for a very fast easy read. It is applicable to many areas of ones journey thru life with many tips for success. Loved the analogies and I could relate on a professional level as well as a personal level. A great book to hand down from parent to offspring. I recommend this book highly for anyone who strives to reach for the next level to achieve their goals!

This book helped me to define all the mistakes we make in ministry and how to keep the staff and parish community focused and positive as it reaches out to fulfill its mission.
Great book.

Terrific book which tells it like it is in a non-judgemental style. It gives parishes a goal to work toward so that the routine "irritations" become secondary to the real mission of the Church.
