rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - Our family has enjoyed eating at Miller's Smorgasbord in Lancaster, Pennsylvania a total of three times now. What an experience! This is the kind of buffet restaurant that puts all others to shame. The food--as with the large open spaces within the...

Their Trials and Tribulations

Sat, 18 May 2002 14:23:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - "Tribulation Force" takes up where "Left Behind" leaves off, with the exception of about an 18-month gap that could have proved fascinating for readers.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - I am way behind in my discovery of this series of Christian novels. I had seen them for a long time in bookstores, but never even bothered to read a review. I am now thoroughly engrossed in reading each and every one of them.

Sat, 24 Nov 2001 00:25:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - If you're as old as I am you'll remember the tune, "The only one who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man,"... This book reached me!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - Jack Heffron has created a writer's gem with his book "The Writer's Idea Book". As a freelance writer, I can attest that writers are almost always searching for topics, ideas, and settings about which to develop their articles and stories. This book...

It IS A Woman's World!

Sun, 4 Nov 2001 21:14:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - Woman's World magazine is available at supermarket checkout stands. Inexpensive compared to most magazines, it costs $1.49 per issue. It is, however, not of the same quality as Rosie or Redbook or Ladies Home Journal. More like a high-quality...

Bil-Jac Tempts Philly's Palate

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - I first tried Bil-Jac dog food (or I should say that Philly, our 75 pound shepherd-pitbull mix tried it) after receiving a free sample in the mail. I was skeptical because Philly has refused to eat almost every kind of dry food offered to him. His...

Sat, 29 Sep 2001 20:51:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - Redbook claims on its front cover to be the publication that balances "family, work, love, and time for you". It definitely encompasses all of these ideals and more.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - The publishers of Parenting Magazine have another hit on their hands with Family Life Magazine. And who would expect anything different? The same standards of journalism and quality information are adhered to in this magazine for families with children...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - Guideposts is a publication I had seen on my grandmother's nightstand for many years before I ever picked it up and read it. I had assumed it was an "old person's" magazine because everyone I knew who read it was old! I was mistaken.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - "Rosie" is the new title of the former McCall's magazine. Driven at the helm by talk-show host and comedienne Rosie O'Donnell, it is now a magazine much different from its former format.

No Monkey Chasing This Weasel

Thu, 30 Aug 2001 10:31:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - I'm now completely hooked on reading books written by James Patterson. Although this is the third of his books I've read, it's not a new publication. Published in 1999, Pop Goes the Weasel was a bestseller. It's easy to see why.

Fri, 17 Aug 2001 14:19:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Writerip - Let's begin at the beginning, although there's nothing heartbreaking or genius-like in the least. Dave Eggars begins this book with a lengthy preface called "Rules and Suggestions for Enjoyment of This Book". This struck me as bizarre right off the...
