Neither Uncle Eddy or Tiffany were really that sympathetic of characters. Both acted in ways that seemed unrealistic and fake, as well as juvenile or extra mature.

Interesting premise, less interesting characters

I only found three recipes that I am interested in trying. Not a success.

May 22, 2014

A good look at the toll of AIDS. I have so much knowledge of the disease and its affects, but not really about how people live with and around it.

April 1, 2014

Several of the recipes seem promising, albeit not as many as I expected.

Sad and depressing and ultimately seems like a guy who just wants a pat on the back.

March 17, 2015

3.5 stars. Some fairly interesting stories, but most were only loosely connected to families.

October 27, 2014

Good basic info on each president.

June 12, 2015

Couldn't finish. The material was very dry and most of the myths that the author busted, well, he only did that. He didn't have a very strong re-telling of what events actually occurred.

September 23, 2014

Not the best book of trivia ever, but there were definitely some useful bits.

June 4, 2015

Could not finish. There are several scenes where the main character eats bugs and describes in some detail how they taste and feel. I was eating lunch. Then I was not.

March 20, 2015

Got tired near the end. The trivia was cool, but it would've been more useful to talk about some non-trivial geography as well.

Excellent behind the scenes look at some of the biggest musicians ever. He could have gone into a bit more detail, but I love behind the scenes.

I thought the Yogi part was him being clever with the title. Nope. It was weird. That is all.

November 3, 2015

3.5 stars. Pretty good, but got pretty long. I really thought more would be about after the kids were born.

February 20, 2016

Not nearly as interesting or informative as I had hoped.

February 22, 2016

Nice overview of mythology, particularly Greek, but touches on a few others.

February 23, 2016

3.5 stars.
A little predictable, but still strong characters and a great sense of time and place.

April 1, 2017

Some interesting stories, but mostly just okay.

March 20, 2016

I am no more catwise than I was when I started the book. Seems to me that this book might be useful for those individuals with more than one cat.

August 2, 2018

Did not help me at all.
Also, unless you think your cat is psychic, probably not for you either.

July 3, 2017

3 stars. Not very much new information, but still an interesting primer.

February 11, 2016

The limited perspective is hard to read. The plot tends to be a bit predictable.
