This is only a good book referral if you just need a one sentence summary to determine if a book is worth your time. I was frustrated that there wasn't more information on each book. My one star rating is that there's just not enough information on any of the books to consider this to be a guide as to what to read next (at least for those of us who aren't readaholics). Nancy Pearl has a great sense of humor & is a lively writer, but it's apparent that she will read anything.I've learned that it's better to get a book recommendation from someone who has more discretion about what he/she reads &/or has an active life outside of reading.The best recommendations are from people who are very busy/or don't care to read much but found a book that they couldn't put down.

This non-fiction book reads like an unputdownable novel. Great writing--it's suspenseful but also laugh out loud funny. I've read it several times. I also recommend the unabridged audio book.
