"Although it's a cornerstone of 20th century pseudo-medival fantasy, it's poorly written and extremely overrated. Possibly the most overhyped set of books of all time."
"Newer, better, bolder. Although basically telling a similar story to LOTR, this collection is beautifully written and MAKES SENSE. Not expensive, so LOTR fans - read and see how professionals write."
"Ok, it's a book about mathematics. It helps if you have a good understanding, but the writing is good enough for even a maths flunkie to understand. Excellent, exciting account of an age old mystery."
"If you like restaurant food, read this book. It's not an expose of kitchen practices - more a bio/day in the life of a high-flying NY chef. Passionately written and very funny."
"Very funny and interesting. Forget it's about martial arts. It's about an Oxford graduate globetrotter finding meaning to his life in modern and ancient Japan."
"Again, not an expose - more a social history of fast food. I don't know why so many comments of *you'll never eat another burger*. Not horrifying - extremely interesting and meticulously researched."
