Have no fear... this book has lots of body building exercises without having to buy your own fitness equipment. Instead use regular household items or just yourself to do the exercises. Cost-efficient for people who can not afford to purchase fitness equipment of their own. Excellent and a great idea to a unique way to fitness.

It is hard to believe an esteemed actor of Matthew McConaughey's abilities would allow his name to be tied to a dog like this movie. It has no redeeming value. In the script, the acting, the storyline or the cinematic score. -2

I was pretty disappointed by this book:
1. I suppose I would liked to see more elements of the magical realism. This book was a bit too western in it's style.
2. Wasn't invested in the characters
3. Went on far too long for relative number of characters, plot twists and insight reveals.I was pretty disappointed by this book:

An amazing sci-fi novel. A deep study of life and death and what it means to be human set in a Canadian background. I recommend this book to everyone as it strays so far from traditional sci-fi.
