Review: The Noticer

The Noticer by Andy Andrews

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This book makes some good points but is a little too transparent as a self-help, follow-these-steps-and-your-life-will-be-wonderful kind of book. Overall I like the message.

Review: Sams Teach Yourself Google SketchUp 8 in 10 Minutes

Sams Teach Yourself Google SketchUp 8 in 10 Minutes by Steven Holzner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I was a bit sceptical but you really can do a lesson in 10 minutes. Okay, so you can't learn the entire program in 10 minutes but it is a great jump start to learning the program. Don't have a lot of time? This is the book for you!

Review: Google SketchUp 8 For Dummies

Google SketchUp 8 For Dummies by Aidan Chopra

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Okay, I admit it. I am a Dummies fan. I like the way after you read one Dummies book, you know how to locate information in them all. This one is no different. I started learning SketchUp with Learn SketchUp 8 in 10 Minutes but I found, when I needed extra help, information was easily located in this one. It's a keeper. Nuff said...

Review: Faking It

Faking It by Jennifer Crusie

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Faking It is a fun summer read. From Gwen, the bored matriarch, to Nadine, the career shopping granddaughter, the Goodnights all have their quirks. Tilda is the daughter that keeps everything pulled together at her own expense. Her exploits range from painting murals styled on the old masters to keep the family afloat to stealing faked art work that was accidentally sold to keep the family name out of the newspapers. Her adventures are hilarious and keep you turning the pages with delight. This enjoyable summer read is mired in the art world and keeps you laughing with all the antics of the Goodnight family. This story may be fluffy but is well written and keeps you enthralled with all the twists and turns of a light suspenseful mystery. Enjoy! (And let's hope for a sequel!)Jennifer Crusie
