First in a series about two teenage twin girls with a penchant for identity switching, this book has everything. Romance, drama, and the unbreakable bond between sisters and friends are just a few of the themes in this book. Susan & Christine Pratt switch places to try to find out what the other's life is like and both have adventures and mishaps all along the way. Any girl would love this series and it all begins with this book.

Truly enjoyed this book from Library. Would like a copy to own and re-read. The author is my neice and feel she has done a remarkable job on this Art of Quilting.

I am fortunate enough to know Bevelyn personally and to have sampled many of her cakes, pies and other delights. So I speak from experience when I say that not only are the results wonderful, her recipes WORK! I can't recommend this book, or the companion books Everyday Cakes and Everyday Cookies, too highly! You won't be disappointed.

This book is an excellent source for seeing the experience of apartheid from which the theory of black consciousness emerged. Biko lucidly articulates both the people and the regime he found himself in conflict with, and parallel's between his appraisal and his idea's are made clear. A must read for anyone who wants to get a full understanding of black consciousness.

a very interesting comic book adaptation of the blair witch. gives a few different views of the history of burkittsville! a real delight for the true fan!!

FANTASTIC NEW ADDITION TO THE BLAIR WITCH MYTHOLOGY. MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I CAN'T ADD THIS TO MY BOOKSHELF COLLECTION OF BLAIR WITCH MEMORABILIA. ...GREAT STORY, GREAT CHARACTERS. ELLY KEDWARD LIVES!!!

This is a gripping tale of children's loyalty to each other and a frightened and fearful dog. An adventure with self-discovery - one of Ms. Snyder's specialties. As are all of hers, this is a wonderful page-turner.

It's not supposed to be a motivational book but I started a fitness regime after reading it!

Sabol has been a "fitness freak" most of her adult life. As health columnist for Mademoiselle magazine, she traveled widely, reporting on (and trying out) all kinds of spas, resorts, diets, exercise parlors -- you name it, she tried it.

Here she tells all. What it's like to be coddled, starved and exercised at places like "The Golden Door" and other expensive and exclusive watering places for the elite, what it's like at Gold's Gym and Santa Monica Body Builders. (The prevalence of the word "gold" in the titles indicate what clients give and owners get. With these clients, the most obese things in sight are the costs of the programs and the bank accounts of the customers.)

"Aerobics and fitness in general," Sabol writes, "did not just become a fashion -- they became a craze. And it was the craziness that became injurious to the health movement...What we need to do is rethink our definition of fitness...The most important question is fit for why? What is the point of looking like an Olympian if you're a clerk at the A&P express line?"

Sabol contends that the drive for fitness can be a narcissistic way to avoid relationships, a substitute for things that really count. We need to understand our limitations and be aware of needs and objectives. "Acknowledging that our basic fears of aging and of intimacy led us to the extreme physical self-obsession."

She adds,"Good health means being keyed into the ultimate balance of life for you and you alone. But above all, we must learn to heed the advice of our own body wisdom. In the end, that's the only trainer worth sweating for."

This book makes more sense than anything else I've ever read on the subject. I recommend it to anyone who wants to live a healthy lifestyle.

Speed Skater Bonnie Blair is certainly one of America's greatest Olympic athletes. When she skated to triumph in Lillehammer in 1994, she became the only woman in American sports history to win gold medals in three consecutive Olympic Games. Counting her the one bronze medal she won, Blair won more medals than any other U.S. athlete in Winter Olympic history. But want made Blair popular was not just all those medals but also the fact that from start to finish she remained one of the happiest of athletes. In "Golden Streak," Cathy Breitenbucher start with Blair's accomplishments and then goes back to the beginning of the little girl who just wanted to skate with her older brothers and sisters. Breitenbucher devotes one chapter to each of Blair's four Olympics (she finished 8th in the 500 meters the first time; she won the event the next three Olympics). The book is illustrated with both black & white and color photographs of Blair throughout her career, including family photos. Breitenbucher does a nice job of recreating the atmosphere at each of Blair's Olympics; I watched videos of a couple of them earlier this year to get in the mood for Salt Lake City, so the details were semi-fresh in my mind. This is certainly one of the better juvenile biographies of Bonnie Blair.

From beginning to end Gary Ryan Blair has hit the nail on the head as to what the new rules of engagement are for the 21st century. This is the most direct and to the point book I have ever read. I have made it a point to give a copy to all my employees. If you plan on being in business in the new millennium take a few minutes and read this book!
