Story4.5 out of 5 stars 33,354
I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late. But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of....

Fun - the last 1/3rd is what got me

The story starts a bit slow so have some patience. I removed 1 star only because I think it could have been condensed a little bit. Don’t want to give away the story but the last 1/3rd was definitely a page turner or rather I stayed up till midnight listening to the end! I really liked the audio performance on this one! It added a lot to the story with the reading. A fun read for those who enjoy suspense!

This book is not about math techniques. Rather this book is about effective ways to learn any material. I really enjoyed the practical tips in this book. I have already put into use a few of them for my everyday life.

Eating is an indispensable human activity. As a result, whether we realize it or not, the drive to obtain food has been a major catalyst across all of history, from prehistoric times to the present. Epicure Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin said it best: "Gastronomy governs the whole life of man."

Interesting and insightful history on food!
Reviewed: 09-03-14
I really enjoyed this lecture series. I eating all kinds of food so naturally a cultural history of food would be fascinating to me. What I found most interesting was how food really reflected major historical changes in human history. Professor Abala was also a very lively lecturer who is obviously passionate about the subject matter and passes on that enthusiasm to his listeners. I learned a lot of great facts about where foods come from that will make me look at all kinds of foods with a greater appreciation! Definitely recommend.
