The Chemist - by Stephenie Meyer [#thriller]

The ChemistThe Chemist by Stephenie Meyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holy Snot!

Is this the best Stephenie Meyer book ever or what?

I read all the Twilights and thought they were way better than a lot of people did. I read The Host and it took me a while to get into it, but finally managed to find the groove and recognized the important step she took away from Twilight. With The Chemist it's like a total 180, and it's amazing.

A super strong, super smart, super female who isn't all hung up on relationships. A doofus-jock hacker CIA assassin. A sweet sensitive school teacher in way over his head. How do they all fit together?

Yes, there is a brief section where they all get together and sort through all the touchy-feelies and that lags a bit. Like a lotta bit. But finally it all works out with a bang and we're back in the groove for non-stop action.

You know what though? That last Epilogue could have been kept sealed. I didn't need to add that to the characterizations. Maybe that's just me.

Anyway, highly recommended. Way outside her past works. Good job. Thanks Mrs. Meyer.

Review: The 10 Biggest #Workout Mistakes

The 10 Biggest Workout Mistakes: Are one of these mistakes slowing your progress? by Dr. Len Lopez My rating: 3 of 5 stars So/So. Average. 3. yep. If you took a handful of bullet points, wrapped them in repetitive catch-phrases, and added in some links to your other projects, you'd have this book. Would it be at all helpful to anyone? Yes, if you are needing to do actual aerobic exercise and need to be smacked in the face with it over and over and over until it works finally - this might be the book that does that. If you're trying to get in shape or achieve some specific level of fitness, then no. View all my reviews

New Year, New You, Amazing Bling Deal

Your New Year should include at least a couple of different things. Resolutions and/or Goals Rewards and/or Compensations I know you probably haven't really thought about either of those yet, but now that Christmas is out of the way it's time to get cracking on it. FREE WEBINAR - START NOW Resolutions and/or Goals First of all, you need a plan. I'm sure you've heard the ads from NordicTrack that incline training burns more fat faster than just about any other type of training. I have a NordicTrack incline treadmill myself, and I love it. But did you know that you can do the exact same type of training without one? Regular treadmills often go up to 15% incline and that's plenty steep enough for most training goals. You can also use stairs, box stepping, and hill running. I wrote a book about how to succeed at incline training, and I want you to have a free paperback copy of it worth $26.55 . That's the current price that Amazon is charging today ...

Review: Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle

Intermittent Fasting Lifestyle: How To Be Healthy, Lose Weight, Burn Fat, Get Lean and Build Muscle Without Life Sucking by R.J Strife My rating: 4 of 5 stars If you're totally new, or just curious about Intermittent Fasting, this is a good 30,000' view. If you're vaguely familiar with IF, this shows a couple of optional protocols to follow. If you want in-depth info, this isn't the book, though author does touch on some concepts on long-term use. If you take some of these ideas and do some of your own research, you will quickly be able to make your own decisions. A handful of relatively minor editing errors. View all my reviews
