The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss Amazon Price: $23.10
Customer Review: After reading this book, I ultimately found myself in the same position as the author. The one night stands were fun while they lasted, but in the end I wanted something more substantial. It is really not that unusual for not-very-attractive men to win more attractive women. While men are mostly visual, and want someone good looking, women look for character in men. If it happens to come in a not-so-perfect package, we are willing to overlook that. One couldn't help but like the author, even while disrespecting what he was doing. But if you are a guy who wants to please either his one night stand or his one and only true love, here's a book that will help you accomplish that: Was that an earthquake? The Sensuous Couple's (Flip Over) Guide to Seismic Oral Sex. Blow her mind with your oral sex technique. If she is a keeper, flip the book over for her to read about fellatio, and she can blow your mind in return!

Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey, Deborah Chiel Amazon Price: $9.95
Customer Review: I bought this book for my 11-year old daughter, who has beautiful curls. I do not, and this book has helped her so much with tips on how to care for curly hair. The advise in the book really works to make your wonderful curls stay healthy. It has many little stories submitted from women about being curly and it really touches on race, feminism, culture and "beauty". I bought it for my 39 year-old friend, who always struggled with how to deal with her hair. She LOVED the book and told me that her hair no longer frustrates her!
Gluten-Free Girl: How I Found the Food That Loves Me Back...And How You Can Too by Shauna James Ahern Amazon Price: $16.47
Customer Review: I am gluten-intolerant and am always looking for good recipes and tips for filling in those areas of my diet that are necessarily devoid of wheat products. This book seemed like a good bet.
Wrong. I know the author means it to be an inspirational type book to get people to learn to love whole foods and all that, and that the stuff about her dysfunctional eating habits as a kid and into adulthood is supposed to illustrate the degree of change she has made. But she also makes sweeping statements that are just not true, like when she says over and over that an entire generation was raised on totally processed food. That may be true of her upbringing but that doesn't mean that it is what everyone did. She seems self-involved to the point that she is unable to comprehend that there are realities besides hers.
There's also a lot of text taken directly from her blog. I don't get why a publisher would allow this without calling it an anthology. It's annoying to be reading along and then realize hey, I've already read this. The cost of the book should be prorated based on how much material is new!
I also wasn't very impressed with the quality of the writing for someone who says she has always wanted to be a writer and who teaches writing. She seems to think that the more unusual the description, the better. Sometimes when she is describing a food dish, she actually ends up making it sound like something less than delicious, due to using a weird simile that I suspect she thinks is very creative.
On the plus side...it is inspiring in spots. It made me want to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables.
Maybe I would have liked it more if I were a foodie. I love to cook and eat but food is only one of many passions in my life. I can't imagine food being the focus of my entire life.
The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex: An Indispensable Resource for Pleasure... by Barbara Keesling Amazon Price: $14.93
Customer Review: I'm hoping to wed a woman I love who's been trapped in a marriage with a guy light years below her intellect. She considers herself "straight-laced" and in the interests of better orgasms, I bought her a copy of The Good Girl's Guide which, of course, I read before sending it to her. This is not a prurient narrative intended to tittelate but rather a useful and at times amusing work aimed at enhancing the perhaps socially conservative woman's sexual experiences. It's not Hugh Hefner, Masters & Johnson, or that Indian Indian classic with all the positions. It's a pragmatic look at human sexuality with suggestions about how to improve one's sexual encounters. Recommended.
Understanding Girls With AD/HD by Kathleen G. Nadeau Amazon Price: $13.57
Customer Review: I would highly recommend this book to parents and guardians of girls with ADHD. I saw many of my daughter's behaviors and symptoms very clearly at each stage of her life - how I wish I had had this book when she was younger! We were fortunate to have a pre-school teacher who was experienced enough to point out to us the "red flags" she was observing with our daughter's behavior in the classroom and how she related to other children, and she was professional enough not to diagnose her, but referred us to neurologist who made the diagnosis, so we caught her ADHD early, which made a huge difference. This is an eye-opening book, and will help prepare you for what may be coming as your child progresses through school and life stages. It has given me the information that I needed to understand how I can help my daughter succeed and grow and how to relate to her effectively now and in the future. Now I know why she's so tired when she comes home from school and this book makes it so obvious! The real-life examples are riveting and heart-breaking and will make any good parent want to do anything they can to help their daughter avoid those pitfalls that these women experienced throughout their lives. Bravo to the authors for recognizing that research done on boys with ADHD can only provide a piece of the puzzle - we all know that boys and girls are different and as a result, present ADHD symptoms and behaviors in different ways, as you will see when you read this book. Don't hesitate to buy this book - you will be glad you did and your daughter will be too!
Period.: A Girl's Guide (Lansky, Vicki) by JoAnn Loulan, Bonnie Worthen Amazon Price: $9.99
Customer Review: I thought the book was well written. My daughter is 8 1/2 and was very interested about the subject of Menstruation. We read it together and I felt it gave her all the information about growning up without the "sex" part.
