I love the aesthetics on this one—everything from the page layout and colors to the font and illustrations. Such a gorgeous treasure.

I appreciated that this book relied heavily on psychology, which gave it an extra level of validity. And there is indeed some good advice in this book. However, the delivery fell short for me. The writing felt very dry—sterile and institutional. As such, I had a really hard time focusing on what I was reading. My mind wandered constantly, and there were a few times I nearly drifted off to sleep. Needless to say, I didn't retain much of what I read.

Complete garbage. This is a blurry, improperly formatted (no matter how you hold your device, the writing is always sideways), photocopy (with writing in the margins) of several pages of a book written in—I'm guessing—a dialect of Chinese.

Clear and concise writing. This book covers a wide array of health ailments that are organized into intuitive categories, such as “Digestive Health,” “Cardiovascular Health,” etc. And in each section there are a large assortment of recipes, allowing for some flexibility if you grow your own herbs.

First, let me say that there is a lot, lot, lot, lot of information in this book. It is more than a refresher on grammar rules. It's more like the Holy Grail of grammar rules—learn them all and you will rule the grammar world!

I love pizza, and I generally make it at home a few times a month, so this book was instantly exciting to me. And holy wowza, I have received a thorough pizza-making education!

Omgz! I'm giddy over how much I love this book.

Very encompassing of Nigerian food culture. This is as much a book about the food of Nigeria as it is about recipes. And I will admit that I was very surprised by how much Nigerian cooking has been influenced by other countries, but you can definitely see those influences in a number of the recipes. For example imoyo eleja (fish escabeche with salsa). Yes please! That's on my list of some of the first recipes I want to try.

Holy awesomeness! This is a book of character creating genius.

So unique! This book is part cookbook, part Chinese cooking history, and part graphic novel. On the outset, it might sound a bit disjointed, but the whole thing worked surprisingly well.

There is some great advice in this book! And the approach is novel. It doesn't discuss writing craft in any great detail, but rather it discusses how to stay happy and motivated during the writing process. And this book covers all stages of the writing process, from initial conception to the post-completion business end of things.

Just wow. I'm not usually a fan of biographies, but this book hooked me right from the start. What a beautiful story. So raw and real. And while Jewel's experiences are entirely her own, I found myself surprised by just how relatable this book is.
