Book Review: The Enchantress of Florence

enchantress_of_florence_rushdie[1]This book was immensely disappointing. The back cover talks of Rushdie weaving a magical world – but I could never bring myself to buy-in.

Maybe my disappointment stems from the expectations set by Rushdie’s outstanding “Midnight’s Children”, which is among my all time favourites.

There are passages where you can’t help but admire the prowess of the author – but the story overall is too disjointed to develop a sense of anticipation. If the book were not written by Salman Rushdie, I likely would not have bothered to finish reading it.

Book Review: New Rules of Lifting for Women

nrol4w1I’m not a woman. Now that we’ve cleared that up – I can say that this book is excellent. The author has a sharp wit, and hits all the key points. It will keep you entertained while addressing all the concerns you might have. My only criticism is that the book is a bit light on exercise specific biomechanics (why to do one exercise over another). Highly recommended. (Alwyn Cosgrove compiled the actual workout programs, and is a contributer to T-nation.com – The rest of the text was written by Lou Schuler)
