My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Blurb from goodreads

Diets don't work. Studies have shown that only 5 percent of people who go on a diet are able to keep the weight off for more than a year. Yet even with this 95 percent failure rate the weight loss industry continues to flood the market with new diets and useless gimmicks. What's the secret to true, long lasting weight loss? The key is to focus on your habits as they are related to food, not dieting. Unlike animals in nature human beings acquire a whole host of unnatural habits related to food without even realizing it. By changing these habits, most of whom you are probably not even aware off, you can start to lose weight naturally and easily. Get off the Diet roller coaster and start losing weight WITHOUT dieting today! From Animal-Kingdom-Workouts.com(less)

My review

I don't know what I was expecting and it was the first ebook I have read on my phone so maybe that influenced my enjoyment? It was fine, basic common sense to be honest. Things like don't eat whilst sitting infront of the tv, eat slowly and chew properly excetra.

There are other tips and some exercises and reps and also pictures demonstrating how to do them, that alone is pretty good. At the end there are links to websites that sell dvds and books on the exercising and techniques that you can go and buy if you really like them.

For a free book it is ok but it bored me immensly, took ages to finish and the only reason it gets two stars is because the exercises should alone get a star. If your into exercise and diet type books you might enjoy it, for free it is worth a look. 2/5 for me and available at the time of publishing this review is free on Amazon.

Review - Zombie Nights by Tom Lichtenberg

Zombie Nights by Tom Lichtenberg

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book is free at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/10913

Dave Connor awakes to find himself buried, as he fights to claw himself out he discovers a wound that undoubtidly put him in there (along with the person who inflicted said wound). Puzzled as to who he is, what happened to him and where he is Dave stumbles around in the dark until he finds something he feels familiar with.

The story progresses with Dave discovering his previous life, how to communicate and fit in with life as he is now. Although he is a "zombie" I wouldn't have put this in with zombie stories as it is so very different from every other one I have read. I thought it was going to have a big confrontation and retribution but the story took a different turn and I was quite disappointed. After a bit it just fell flat for me and I think it had so much potential. It could be listed more as a gangster type story than a zombie, so for me 2/5.
