Wild Gourmet: Naturally Healthy Game, Fish and Fowl Recipes for Everyday Chefs

This book has great recipes and very unique ideas for food.  This book makes me want to go hunting just to be able to try some of these recipes and  try tons of different kinds of food that I have never tried before. This book couldn't have been more interesting.  I will let my hunter friends borrower it as well.

The Unofficial Guide to Las Vegas 2015

Great travel guide for Vegas. The rating systems of the shows is helpful for groups of mixed ages. I'm new to e-books and for a travel guide, I think most readers like flipping through or going for one part of the book to another which is hard in an e-format. Next time I get a travel book, I will probably buy the hard back.

This book was great and it explains where so much stuff is to do in Vegas.  I let my friend borrower this book when she went to Vegas and she said she wouldn't have found half the stuff she did if she didn't have this book. 

The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland 2015

While I was happy to get the latest guide my only gripe about the 2015 edition is the cover photo featuring a scene of California Adventures. It is extremely out of date and looks like it belongs to a pre-2009 edition. I'm shocked this was allowed to go to print. Since this shouldn't reflect the information within the pages I still give it five stars.

Now for the review of the book and the series...

These guides have always been extremely helpful for us. Time and again, following the day plans, we've had stress free trips that actually leave us with plenty of time to do whatever we want afterwards. From the time you arrive at the esplanade to eating, planing hotels, shopping, and taking a break from your day the guide is a great primer for those new to the park and regulars. Updated yearly the guide accounts for changes in park attendance behaviors and attraction additions and subtractions. Sehlinger's team also provides a guide on peak attendance days at the resort. These guides have evolved each year with the parks.

Raspberry Pi For Dummies

Excellent first book for beginners like me. Easy to read yet technically complete for what I have tried to learn so far. Good index - I have gone back to this as a reference. So you can read it straight through then you can go back an review specific topics.  This book was great and I learned so much from it and how to navigate the product.  This book couldn't have taught me anymore on this product than it did. 

iPad For Seniors For Dummies

This book was great I let my grandma review it and read this book.  She said she learned so much information from it and how to use her Ipad to the fullest extent.  She has never used technology before and this book made her want to use the Ipad more than anything I have ever seen.  She uses it everyday now and won't stop talking about how much she learned from it.

The Age of Amy: Channel '63

This book was an excellent read and the author was very creative in writing this book.  He makes you feel like you are part of the story and it sucks you right in.  The people in this book make you feel like you are friends with them and a part of their lives.  I really enjoyed the plot and twists in this book.  I hope to read more by this author.
