Fed Up with Asthma : How Food Affects Asthma and What You Can Do It

Sue Dengate

Random House Australia, 2003

Fact packed
I don't think it's possible to have more facts about the connection of food to asthma. The subtitle is "How food affects asthma and what you can do about it." Ms Dengate tells you that and more. Some chapters: "The Failsafe Diet", "How to avoid problem foods" (i.e. ...

My 10 year old's review
In Ranger's Apprentice 7, Erak is making a last raid when he is caught and is held for ransom. Will, Halt, Horace, Cassandra, and Gilan must find him and rescue him. There is a fair amount action in this book. This book is only available in the Australian version. ...

Fed Up (Fully Updated)

Sue Dengate

Random House Australia, 2008

If you only buy one book in your life - IT SHOULD BE THIS!!
This is is the first review I have ever felt compelled to write in response to the first review which claims that this book is "rubbish". Let me just say that my father found out about food intolerance from the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney a few years before ...

Why First-Borns Rule The World And Last-Borns Want To Change It

Why is it that children in a family can share the same gene pool, a similar socio-economic environment and experience similar parenting styles yet have fundamentally different personalities, interests and even different careers as adults? Birth order! The implications for parents, teachers and adults involved with children are many. But this book ...

Salvation Creek : An unexpected Life

Susan Duncan

Random House Australia, 2006

Brilliantly descriptive and so real....
I was entranced by the descriptions of Pittwater, and the vivid images. The description of her journey through cancer, and her breakdown 18 months after being widowed is real. This is a book about survival, and finding life again. This is one of the best books I've ...

The Pocket Psycho

John Clarke

Random House Australia, 2007

Pocket Psycho
Excellent - it would be better if the author said the workplace Psycho will have all or some traits listed. He makes it appear the subject needs all the traits he list, when in fact they may only display a few. However, it is an easy to read book and interesting from ...

Ian Roberts: Finding out

Paul Freeman

Random House Australia, 1997

So-so storytelling
I am (or was) a huge fan of Ian Roberts, but found this book disappointing. It becomes pretty clear that Ian's life could only fill a few pages, so the author decides to pad the book with a whole gay rights movement drive. There are some parts that are great but ...

North of Montana (Ome)

April Smith

Random House,Australia

One of the Best
This is one of the best books I've ever read. Ms. Smith's style is simple and clean; yet in 368 pages she has crafted no less than 10 complicated, realistic characters and no less than 3 intriguing subplots--it is like watching that tiny car at the circus out of which ...
