Barbecue Road Trip: Recipes, Restaurants, & Pitmasters from America's Great Barbecue Regions Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a nice book with great stories, plenty of great pictures, and reviews of some great barbecue joints. I don't think that you would be at all disappointed. The reason that I rated 4 stars, rather than 5, is that it lacked on original recipes.Click Here to see more reviews about: Barbecue Road Trip:...

The Year of the Grizzly (Saga of the Sierras) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)At first I didn't know if I was going to like this book, but all of the sudden I was just sucked into it. This book does not end like a normal book you would read, it isn't one of those books that you know how it is going to end, it kept me sucked in until the very end. And it still seems like it should...

The Amazing Mullet: How To Catch, Smoke And Cook The Fish Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Amazing Mullet nicely complements the four books that Adam Marianski has written about meat smoking and making sausages.

The Dead Yard: A Novel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I "read" this book as a download from Audible. Gerard Doyle is the narrator and seems to become Michael Forsythe. He's amazing. I hope everyone gets to "hear" this book and Doyle's reading of it.This book is extremely lyrical and smart, drolly humorous at times, and viciously violent. I don't think I've...

Eels: An Exploration, from New Zealand to the Sargasso, of the World's Most Mysterious Fish Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I personally found this to be an extremely fascinating read. The book of course is about eels; a fish that we really know very little about.
