	recommended for: People who like Archer and legal thrillers and crime capers read in July, 2008 Radhika said: "This was a medium good Archer. The book started out well and got flabby in the middle.

	Radhika gave to: Sandstorm (Mass Market Paperback) by James Rollins	my rating:
	recommended for: Anyone who likes fiction and adventure read in June, 2008 Radhika said: "Rollins is steadily climbing in my estimate. This man can spin a yarn. And he uses science convincingly. Most of his premises are quite far out but then he uses real science to suggest the plausible and even with canned heroes and heroines, his ta...more " add a comment

	Radhika gave to: The Gospel According to Judas by Benjamin Iscariot (Hardcover) by Jeffrey Archer	my rating:
	recommended for: No one read in July, 2008 Radhika said: "I had expected a rollicking story ala Archer but this one was a disappointment. It is written in the style of a gospel and quotes the known gospels a lot but the story isn't really all that ground shaking or attention grabbing though perhaps it coul...more " add a comment

	Radhika gave to: Sepulchre (Hardcover) by Kate Mosse	my rating:
	recommended for: Those who have too much time on their hands and no newspaper or sudoku read in January, 2008 Radhika said: "This book was disappointing. This book typifies a post-Da Vinci Code genre that is getting tired quite fast. The genre is typified by a search for something in the past, people in the present have some significance to these events, there is some ju...more " add a comment

	recommended for: those curious about our past and our present read in May, 2008 Radhika said: "Sykes traces the history of most Europeans back to 7 women through an examination of mitochondrial DNA. I love the science behind this book. An examination of the DNA shows how very related most people are. Would love to see this done for places l...more " add a comment

	recommended for: Yogis and those interested in health read in January, 2008 Radhika said: "The first four chapters of this book include a mini-biography of BKS Iyengar, his school in Pune, and yogic philosophy.

	recommended for: Knitters and wannabe knitters read in January, 2007 Radhika said: "Of all the how-to-knit books, this one though it isn't strictly only a how-to book, is the most detailed. The Dom knows what she is talking about. Excellent suggestions for tools, how-to's (usually more than one), and patterns. If you were buying ...more " add a comment

	Radhika gave to: Born in the USA: How a Broken Maternity System Must Be Fixed to Put Women and Children First (Hardcover) by Marsden Wagner	my rating:
	recommended for: Everyone and especially all women between 18 and 50 read in March, 2008 Radhika said: "An absolutely enlightening read and full of supported claims examining the difference between c-section and normal births. As the author points out, he is less an advocate of out-of-hospital births than of evidence-based maternity care. And the evi...more " add a comment

	Radhika gave to: Big Breasts & Wide Hips: A Novel (Hardcover) by Mo Yan	my rating:
	recommended for: Sinophiles, readers of magical realism read in March, 2008 Radhika said: "There is something about Mo Yan's writing that makes you wide-eyed and then throws some grit into your open eyes. He takes Chinese history in the 20th century and weaves it into a tapestry of events in the life of its protagonist who unlike many pro...more " add a comment
