4 | Great air fryer cook book that goes beyond fries | Love skinnytaste website so knew I would love the book for air fryers...some of the recipes may be a little mature for my family but all in all, a great purchase that will definitely get your air fryer cooking | [] | 198482564X | 198482564X | AGF42GID7QWDCNFTJRCTMKAITJJA | 1,578,757,151,291 | 0 | true |
2 | If you pass beyond table of content, there are serious problems with this book. | Judging by toc alone, this would be a wonderful book, comprehensive, indepth, with examples. the author knows what to cover, or the topic of interest.<br /><br />Diving into it, many examples starts with no clue what it is for, what is it suppose to do, and what is expected output. Each example are broken down into pieces, sprinkled with sparse explanations, often doesn't help much. Come on, make some efforts, both Manning and Oreily do far better job on formatting code with pointed comments!!! This inflated the whole book into 700+ pages.<br /><br />On top of that, there are places I feel deserved a much greater discussion (such as concurrency), the book merely scratch the surface, this is true for many other topics as well. All in all, a big disappointment. | [] | 1838559337 | 1838559337 | AEIOIVFNO6QX7OYOJNPRKQEWMPGA | 1,593,189,083,956 | 3 | false |
3 | it is a okay book, but not great | I truly think author try to explain things that matter, the only problem is, it doesn't explain it well or to the point. Most of the time, I feel like I am trying to follow whatever figure or thread of the discussion, but only to confuse me. The action series used to be better than this. One more thing, the code listing and annotation is so bad and repeated, another backward step from earlier Manning books | [] | 1617291781 | 1617291781 | AEIOIVFNO6QX7OYOJNPRKQEWMPGA | 1,580,314,775,380 | 1 | false |
1 | badly and hastily written, without explanation what soever. | My interest is mostly on deep and reinforcement learning, so the review is more pertinent to Step 6. I hate the textbook or technical book, which introduce something without proper context, notation explanation. You don't have to explain everything and cover every base - it is a fast moving area. But you do, you need to be thorough and/or self-contained. This chapter of the book is pretty much a pile of code and with lightly sprinkled narrative - which really teach you nothing. For beginners looking to learn, you can pretty much forget about it. | [] | 1484228650 | 1484228650 | AEIOIVFNO6QX7OYOJNPRKQEWMPGA | 1,560,957,207,397 | 1 | false |
2 | Good table of content, but author really have a way to confuse people ... | I bought this book a while back, and never be able to really "read" the book. It has to do the author's way of explaining things. I think in the end - I deem that the way this Author uses the English and organizing sentences, it just tends to confuse people. It didn't help to simplify, just make complicated stuff as complicated as before, to me, that is the failure of a book. | [] | 0134383583 | 0134383583 | AEIOIVFNO6QX7OYOJNPRKQEWMPGA | 1,549,575,319,844 | 0 | false |
2 | A disappointing and lazy collection of basic trig problems | This book is very disappointing to me as a workbook: the exercise is EXCEEDINGLY repetitive. Please note I that I understand the importance of practice, but this one is going overboard, and it did so without really improving the understanding.<br /><br />As a trig book, it also misses a very important topic: graphing the sinusoidal functions, identifying period, midline, and amplitude. It has NONE of those. All in all, I think this is a LAZY collection of exercise and has 1/10 of the value that it is suppose to have. | [] | 1477497781 | 1477497781 | AEIOIVFNO6QX7OYOJNPRKQEWMPGA | 1,520,481,363,491 | 12 | true |
3 | decent, but with some glaring typo/errors | It is a decent book and summarization of high school algebra. The examples are interesting, I wish there could be more practices than just 10 per chapter. Nonetheless, that is not the goal of this book (as in workbook). I have two complaints: (1) there are some glaring typo/mistakes within (2) you can't find an errata, the publisher's site provided at the preface of the book won't work!!!<br /><br />Case in point: page 52, 53, 56, on the summation of a geometric sequence, it is so wrong at multiple levels, I don't even know how did it get pass the review and checks: it is more than a simple typo .... | [] | 1101882190 | 1101882190 | AEIOIVFNO6QX7OYOJNPRKQEWMPGA | 1,511,379,455,356 | 9 | true |
2 | disappointed ... | Manning's action series had many good/classics, but this is not one of them, even this is the 3rd editions now. Here is why.<br /><br />- android development is bounded, similar to servlet. Each piece needs to fit the lifecycle. So the presentation of the material needs to make clear the "web" of the connections. The rigid presentation and code segment make it difficult to see how the pieces are connected. This book often mention concept without clear explanations, or it referes it far back, reads more like an afterthought.<br /><br />- missing code: the chapter talks about SQLite, without actual sample code distributed. I saw a message in so-called and much touted Author's forum asking for it, but there is no reply whatsoever for couple of months. what good is it for author forum if the author(s) don't read it nor respond to it?<br /><br />- write a subject without teaching - Multimedia is such a chapter: it suppose to teach you how to control the camera/audio/video and make a app out of it. There are a variety of important concept to understand such as SurfaceView, holder etc. to understand it. That chapter didn't provide ANY explanation for it. It give you a few segments of code, dotted with a few typical manning's 1,2,3 comments, that is it. There is absolutely no way to grasp it by reading it. I understand you can't be a master of every subjects. But by reading this chapter, I actually suspect if the authors really studied this particular component or whatnot.<br /><br />All in all, I think most readers will get a better handle on the development by following along Google's online training and developer guide. | [] | 1617290505 | 1617290505 | AEIOIVFNO6QX7OYOJNPRKQEWMPGA | 1,368,754,706,000 | 4 | false |
3 | good intro book, but ruined by many inconsistencies and careless typos | The book is decent, it presents Spring 3 in a very accessible way for beginners alike.<br /><br />However, the reading experience is ruined by many careless typos, it is more pronounced in Spring MVC and Spring Security chapter, which is such a pity. I will blame both the author and reviewers of the book as the Manning MEAP provide such a long time span to correct those things.<br /><br />Example of such inconsistency: Spring tags are defined sometimes as "s", sometimes as "spring", and mismatch and mixing in the textual descriptions and code itself. Come on, this book is written by the single author ...<br /><br />Also, the Manning's author online link (a forum) is pretty much useless - as many earlier readers submitted their correction, but I didn't see any author replies, and there is no official errata files to refer to.<br /><br />So, I don't recommend this book unless a reprint can correct those issues. | [] | 1935182358 | 1935182358 | AEIOIVFNO6QX7OYOJNPRKQEWMPGA | 1,311,781,701,000 | 9 | false |
2 | make simple things complicated | I don't know how should I put it after trying multiple times to dig into the book - in the end, my feeling is that the author really has a way to make simple things really complicated.<br /><br />The book throws both concepts and terminology around without giving much introductory context, and trying to be philosophical about it - too me, this is a really bad writing style.<br /><br />It is one of only a handful books on Solr, really disappointed. | [] | 1847195881 | 1847195881 | AEIOIVFNO6QX7OYOJNPRKQEWMPGA | 1,308,763,182,000 | 0 | false |

1 | Arrived wet with to unknown chemical inside sealed bags. | These were wet and smelly with some type of chemical. They were in individual plastic bags which were sealed. The pillow cases were actually wet inside the packages and had a chemical odor. The outside packaging was dry.<br />I washed them by hand 5 times and each time the water was full of dye. I've soaked them in vinegar and letting them air dry outside.<br />Even if they are alright now, I'd never use them indoors due to the unknown chemical.<br />Good chance I'll be returning these. | [] | B015N4NGSU | B015N4NGSU | AHQQ62COZ3ANN33IRXZ6Z4KF664A | 1,499,515,727,763 | 1 | true |
1 | Not acceptable. | I didn't like the meanness and name calling in part of the story.<br />My grandson knows not to bully and make people feel bad.

5 | Fun, exciting, charming and profound | Kaplan-Maxfield brings the world of college-age students fully to life and draws you into their action-packed week-long mystery that's full of twists, turns, magic, mystery, and intrigue -- skillfully and artfully intertwined with a serious and insightful religious and philosophical journey shepherded by Boston College's professors and priests, some sincere, some dastardly, and some you just aren't sure about. You won't be able to put the book down right from that start and you'll find yourself thoroughly immersed in this life journey compressed into a week's time. Young Jack and Fran lead a quest that deepens the lives of everyone they touch as they are mysteriously chosen to find the Holy Grail - or are they lost in a crazy fantasy world? - that may be hidden somewhere on their beautiful and majestic stone-Gothic campus. It is a story for our day as well as one for all time. | [] | 0615309534 | 0615309534 | AEDNNPW6JQ4H6NPMF2FYMIUZOTGQ | 1,376,539,157,000 | 0 | true |
5 | First-rate ... fascinating and wise, poetic and insightful, fun and adventurous | Part mystery story, part inspired classic novel, interspersed narrative poem on life and love, infused with current themes made universal through come-to-life battles between 18th-centtury Puritans and Druid priestesses, Kaplan-Maxfield has penned a fascinating and beautifully complex oeuvre. For the literary, it's full of metaphorically rich prose flowing polished from his pen. For the young, it's a gothic mystery about love and longing and the quest to unravel life's mysteries while learning about love, ancestral teachings, power, and sacred truths--told through the eyes of modern-day Nikki and her ancestral mother Anne. For those not so young, it gifts the exciting rhythm of youth tempered by wisdom perhaps not yet acquired. It is also a tightly crafted contemporary novel with captivating depth about olden ways full of lessons for modern morass. Arcing through post-stormy-passages poetic rainbows reveal insights about men and women, science and religion, sacredness and truth, and learning to live with the constraints we are dealt. | [] | 0971377030 | 0971377030 | AEDNNPW6JQ4H6NPMF2FYMIUZOTGQ | 1,375,124,633,000 | 0 | true |

1 | Rambles | Poorly written and hard to place a timeline as the author rambles in and out of accounts of incidence. She writes as she's thinking diiferent thoughts that come into her mind.

5 | A must read book!! | Even though this is in the “Young Adult” category of books, I highly recommend this book to adults as well, especially for therapists that work with children that have physical challenges. As a retired school-based occupational therapist that worked with children with Kernicteris (the diagnosis that Lexi, the author has), this book really gave me new insight into what it must be like to have normal intelligence (and Lexi is incredibly bright!) with a body that doesn’t do what you want it to do. Lexi does an amazing job of allowing the reader to see life through her eyes and what’s in her heart, using insight, hope and tons of humor! Thank you Lexi, for being brave enough to share your story with all of us. It is also an important book to help educate parents and physicians of the incredible importance of being aware of high levels of bilirubin when a child is born and to get them treatment immediately. I am excited for your next book Lexi!! | [] | 1734225939 | 1734225939 | AEMYDA6DVBKCCE7ZO2ARRFGKG3LQ | 1,619,114,132,291 | 1 | false |

5 | ... book is a MUST read for everyone whether you like hawks or not | This book is a MUST read for everyone whether you like hawks or not!!! Helen writes like Thoreau or Emerson as she is incredibly poetic and imaginative in her writing style. I read most pages twice because it's written so beautifully...I don't want this book to end so I am savoring every minute of it :-). Helen is creative in that she relates falconry to life situations (i.e. the tether is like trying to hold on to everything and everyone we love). You also feel like you have a hawk on your arm when you are reading the book-you see and smell the hawk and your heart beats rapidly right along with Helen's and the hawk's heart! One of the best books I have ever read!! I told my husband that all I want for Christmas this year is a Goshawk :-))). | [] | 0802124739 | 0802124739 | AEMYDA6DVBKCCE7ZO2ARRFGKG3LQ | 1,512,320,147,711 | 2 | true |
5 | Must have resource book for all teachers!!!! | This book by Thay is an incredible resource for teachers!! It's a very unique book in that it has short and simple instructions for the various aspects of practicing mindfulness for adults/teachers (i.e. Walking, sitting, eating, etc. meditations), great ways to teach students, and has input how teachers from around the world have incorporated these practices into their classrooms demonstrating a wide variety of creative ways to engage students of all ages. I have many of Thay's books and other authors on teaching mindfulness to students but I think this book will be my go to book from now on. Wonderful collaboration and a terrific resource!! | [] | 1941529631 | 1941529631 | AEMYDA6DVBKCCE7ZO2ARRFGKG3LQ | 1,498,328,206,551 | 17 | true |

2 | Interesting, but disappointing-very short! | I was so looking forward to this book as I have always admired Gloria Steinem, but this book was disappointing. It was mostly pictures with very little text and information. There must be other biographies about her that would be more interesting. | [] | 1617830070 | 1617830070 | AEMYDA6DVBKCCE7ZO2ARRFGKG3LQ | 1,364,735,485,000 | 0 | true |
5 | Another wonderful book by TNH (Thay) | I have read numerous books by TNH and this one was another wonderful book. I tend to put sticky notes in my books when I want to go back and refer to important or meaningful points and this book is full of sticky notes!! TNH (or Thay as his students refer to him) has such a simple way of explaining the dharma and useful ways to deal with all emotions. A very helpful book and he's such a good writer!! | [] | 0062004727 | 0062004727 | AEMYDA6DVBKCCE7ZO2ARRFGKG3LQ | 1,359,981,545,000 | 2 | true |

5 | Peace Is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh | I have been reading Thich Nhat Hanh's books for 20 years and love them all! Peace Is Every Step was the first book of Thay's (what TNH's students call him-means teacher in Vietnamese) that I read and it was a gift from my brother. This is a wonderful, easy to read book and a good introduction into mindfulness practice. It's the kind of book where you can open it to any page and read the teachings. Each subject is usually just a few pages long so it's the kind of book you can keep in the bathroom to read a little bit a time :-). Thay has such a wonderful way of explaining mindfulness in "easy to understand" terms in this book. Practicing mindfulness meditation has changed my life. Be warned: Once you start reading one of Thay's books, you'll be hooked!! :-)). He is an amazing poet, writer and such a gentle, warm, funny, compassionate "being" that is so full of happiness and joy. I highly recommend this book especially for people that are new the mindfulness practice. I have given a number of "Peace Is Every Step" books to friends as gifts. My book arrived in wonderful shape-<br />Enjoy the book-and remember to enjoy every moment :-))- | [] | 0553351397 | 0553351397 | AEMYDA6DVBKCCE7ZO2ARRFGKG3LQ | 1,317,556,373,000 | 0 | true |
5 | James Hall-Great book! | Hell's Bay is another great book by James Hall. He keeps you on the edge of your seat, especially at the end, so you want to finish it rather than go to bed!! Great characters and this would make a good movie. He really describes the Florida swampland well. Highly recommend this book. | [] | 0312359586 | 0312359586 | AEMYDA6DVBKCCE7ZO2ARRFGKG3LQ | 1,273,498,102,000 | 0 | true |

5 | I just love this character | Nene Adams makes history sizzle! I have never liked historical romances or mysteries! Ever! I surprised myself when I read all of Nene Adams books in a week. Fantastic characters and she makes the history tolerable, if not interesting! We need Ms. Adams to write more of this character. Her brilliance and her flaws are very well crafted. You cheer when both women are happy and cry when they feel sad. I enjoyed the series. | [] | 1933720298 | 1933720298 | AGQ2BWZLHY4WKCNHD3WDWAFF45CQ | 1,270,315,161,000 | 1 | true |
