Customer Reviews

Informative but nothing new
Just an average book no new information from what is out there on the Internet etc.

Liked it!
I found this book a good addition to my library. It's easy to understand, and full of helpful information. I have given the book as gifts and found the response from my friends very positive. I enjoyed the comedic nature of the content and am a big fan of the entire series. For the price of this book, it is well worth it!

Just the basics, nothing else.
You can learn just about every commonsense issue regarding the topic of this book by doing a search of some good health websites. If you don't like keyboarding and prefer hard copies (called books) would be about the only reason to buy this one.
