Sentimental.......2007-08-27
This catastrophe deserved a more comprehensive treatment. "When one person dies, it is a tragedy. When thousands die, it is war." What happened in Libby, Montana was like war on a population, but this book treats it like several personal tragedies. The W.R. Grace Company is a corporation without a conscience and deserves to be indicted for its crimes, not be allowed to avoid all responsibility by going into and then out of bankruptcy unscathed. The book on what happened in Libby still needs to be written.
journalism vs. soap opera.......2005-06-11
As a former Libby resident (1976-1982) and one who has since found out that I am one of the 'victims', I was looking forward to reading "Libby Montana". I was hoping for a journalist's straight forward and honest appraisal of the Libby tragedy.
Instead, I found myself reading a series of disconnected thoughts and needless ramblings - sprinkled with a lot of overworked sentimentality. I personally know (or knew) many of the folks named in the book. Instead of writing from a true journalist's viewpoint, Andrea Peacock instead presents a verbal 'Oprah Winfrey' show. She wanders back and forth through history with no really coherent thought process and hopes that by throwing in an occassional tear-jerking story now and then she will keep the reader interested. She has managed to turn would could have been an excellent documentary into a soap opera and by doing so only belittles the overall magnitude of the Libby disaster.
More true than true and worse than anyone could believe!.......2004-02-29
I was born in this town, Libby, Montana. Eventhough I grew up eighteen miles away in Troy, I knew most of the families mentioned in the book. My high school field trip was a day trip to the mine, the dry processing plant, the expansion plant, the loading docks. All through junior high and high school, we had track meets next to the railroad tracks where the trains were loaded with the ore. What she says in her book is true, no one told anyone that the ore was harmful, or even had asbestos in it. No one said a word, and if anyone asked, they were told it was "nuisance dust." It was such a cover-up that I had to read the Seattle PI account twice before I believed it.
I applied for a job at the mine when I went to college. That was thirty years ago. If I had gotten that job, chances are I would be dead, just like my father. Dad never worked at the mine, but he drove by it several times a week to maintain some radio equipment on top of the mountain. Several times a week for twenty-six years and he died of Mesothelioma.
Excellent Read.......2004-01-27
Andrea Peacock did an excellent job of describing the
environmental disaster that has ravaged this small
Montana town.
Peacock's description of human suffering,
corporate greed, and "bought" politicians brings
this true story to life.
Highly recommended reading.
mesothelioma lobby loves this book.......2004-01-26
Truth be told, asbestos will not kill 100% of everybody. Consider these stats: Industrial accidents comprise 1.1 million deaths, which exceeds the average annual deaths from road accidents (999,000), war (502,000), violence (563,000) and HIV/AIDS (312,000). Of this total deaths from asbestos exposure equals about 100,000 (9% of all industrial accidents, and only 2.9% of the total deaths above).
Yet the mesothelioma lobby would want you to believe that asbestos--which is a mineral known since ancient times--will kill everybody unless it's totally removed.
This reporter tries to ape Aron Brockovitch, and plays up to the hype. In fact, it gives just one side of the story. The other side is this: the people at Libby supported asbestos while the going was good, yet when demand died down, they turned against it. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. Harsh but true. BTW, I have nothing against cancer sufferors, just pointing out that there's a lobby of lawyers who make a killing filing lawsuits on behalf of mesothelioma victims. And this book plays to that lobby.

A less than riveting account.......2007-10-10
Some incidents draw lots of media attention and there are a whole host of books written about the case, some good and some bad (the Lindbergh baby kidnapping for example.) Other incidents, such as the Cheryl Pierson case draw a goodly amount of media attention, but only one book is written on the case and it isn't all that good. Such is the case of "Deadly Silence" and Dena Kleiman. I lived on Long Island for almost forty years and I know quite a bit about the case of Cheryl Pierson. She was sexually assaulted by her father after her mother developed cancer and the abuse continued after her mother's death. When it appeared Mr. Pierson might start abusing her younger sister, Cheryl hired a classmate to have him killed. The story is a horrifying one, yet Ms. Kleiman manages to drain the life out of it. The book comes off more as an extended newspaper article, rather than an in depth investigative story of Cheryl and her abuse. You never really get a sense that you know who Cheryl or her brother are. And neither do you really get to know Sean Pica, the young man who did the shooting and still sits in prison for it. Had Ms. Kleiman done a little more investigative research and reported on in depth interviews with the principles, this could have been a very powerful book. Maybe she will do a rewrite at some future date or maybe an experienced investigative reporter will do a better book on this tragic case.
It's hard enough telling about abuse..........2006-04-19
And it simply sickens me that what some call "book filler" is more than likely how this person needs to express the pain, horror and reality of a lost childhood. Child abuse is hard enough to live with without being insulted because of the way you relate your story as an adult. "Creative Writing 101" doesn't apply to real life events. I'm sure the author wanted to tell her story in the most factual way she could. If you want creative writing or a book to entertain you, I suggest a fantasy genre instead of a book about child abuse because there shouldn't ever be a feeling of pleasure or joy reading about how adults victimize children.
Not that good,.......2002-06-06
This is the true story of how after years of sexual abuse by her father, a teenage girl kills him. Read this over 10 years ago, but nothing really stands out about this book. I can't remember any names or even the locale, it may have been New York or New Jersey, maybe Ohio. ...
Creative Writing Class.......1999-02-15
Author needs to go back to Creative Writing 101 and dismiss two-thirds of this book. That two thirds has little or nothing to do with the subject at hand- it's just book filler. The other third of the book is on target.

The Silent Planet Has No Music........2006-06-28
The aliens took a quantum leap onto the Silent Planet where the beasts had lost their hearing and then their ears, found their prey by smell. Deafness is synonymous with silence only for the deaf. Prolonged exposure to the deadly silence is fatal.
As is the silence (dead air) to be avoided at all costs, as the airwaves are worth much money even if the information doled out is outdated or downright false. Her crowning humiliation was by two of them. Be grateful for mistakes that aren't fatal, as sometimes it's possible to learn from them. What followed was rather stupid. The keeper of the secrets and the genuine miracle worker both had feet of clay because of their rather large egoes. I congratulate you on your diligence. A noble aim is important as its achievement will be your masterpiece.
Silence is not always golden; hardly ever is except in the song. An excellent craftsman always appreciate a challenge; so does the unwilling victim if she has any opportunity to "tell her tale." The main thing is to survive.
How to get answers to a puzzle in a world without hearing?.......1999-08-29
Agents of the Galactic Synthesis were missing on the silent planet of Kamm - possibly destroyed by a death ray. Agent Jan Darzek's mission is to find out the truth & to do so, he is surgically altered to resemble the natives & learns sign language to communicate. He finds a dark, complex sociaty and is unprepared for the difficulties he encounters. Unusual and interesting, but sometimes the hero is "saved" a bit too fortuitously. Nevertheless, a fun and fast, read.
Book Description
The topic of battered women in the Jewish tradition has just begun to be properly explored. The purpose of this book is to present the attitudes on wifebeating that can be found in Jewish texts. As Naomi Graetz shows, rabbinic responses to wifebeating in the Jewish community are not monolithic.

INCREDIBLY INFORMATIVE!.......2005-09-28
This book is an invaluable reference guide for anyone wanting to know the whole truth about AIDS. It has 1,000 footnotes, all from medical sources. The chapter about AIDS in saliva is really an eye opener; the author quotes Canadian researchers who have found more of the virus in saliva than blood. The author is compassionate but sober in his approach. It is a term paper writer's dream. Well worth having in your library. A must read for all dental and medical professionals.

A book that thrills and chills!.......1998-08-23
This was a book that both terrified and satisfied! The kidnapping of one's child is a fear that every parent lives with and Larsen lays open the wounds of her victims' families with sensitivity and empathy. The plot is complex and brilliantly woven, and in the end not a single thread is left hanging! A terrific read from page one to the very last word!
A fast paced page turner!.......1998-08-03
Deadly Silence grabbed me from the moment I picked it up. Larsen had me hooked, weaving her story with believable characters thrown into the worst of situations. Can't wait for her next book!

So, okay, Cindy Pawlcyn adds butter to her mashed potatoes before she adds the milk, which is all backwards according to those who have initiated intense experiments to resolve such issues. But so what? Her food (it's her name on the cover of the cookbook, even though any food coming out of a restaurant as popular and free-spirited as the original Fog City Diner in San Francisco is likely to be something of a group effort--kind of like the Manhattan Project) brightened palates back in 1985 when the diner opened, and it serves adventurous palates just as well today.
Remember when attaching "California" to food actually meant a thing or two? Fog City Diner Cookbook is something of a time capsule in that regard. You have seen similar-looking food on menus in your town. But that's now, and this book (and the food before it) came out back when it was news. What's interesting to note, however, is that Pawlcyn bases her dishes on sound culinary principles. She isn't throwing oddball ingredients together to grab attention or to appear to be clever, she's combining flavors and textures and cultural heritage to achieve specific effects, with new and powerful results. In other words, she shows restraint on the one hand, and knows what she's doing on the other.
For that first blush of that brash California "thang" with food, don't hesitate to hang your hat inside the Fog City Diner. The cookbook, that is. --Schuyler Ingle

Good Diner Food Made Easy.......2006-04-13
I like to browse different types of cookbooks, and to find recipes that I may not find anywhere else. This cookbook did not disappoint. Even though I have not visited the Fog City Diner, I have been to many diners in my day. I was surprised at the large variety of recipes available, and the eclectic ingredients included in the book.
Some of my favorite recipes include: Split Pea and Apple-Smoked Bacon Soup, Mushroom Toast, Cheesesteak Sandwich, Cobb Sandwich, Chicken Curry Pot Pie, Apple Dumplings, Vanilla Caramel Custard, Hot Toddy, and Seasoned Nuts.
Enjoy!
secrets revealed about diner food.......2005-04-11
for many years i was wondering what that german deli down the block from me, was putting in its' tuna salad that gave it a unique wonderful taste. i could never figure it out and was addicted to the tuna salad so was spending a good chunk of my food allowance on it.
tuna is a food that if you can get it to taste great you have a very cheap meal that is good value. tuna as a whole i don't care for except for this german deli tuna.
well i relate this story because the secret ingrediant that i could never figure out is in this book.
for this alone the book was worth the money spent on it.
Okay.......2002-11-04
That's about it. Lots of recipes the average person just would not use.
The recipes work and are fun - a cookbook you will USE.......2000-06-03
Sad to say, I have never been to the Fog City Diner, so I cannot compare my outcomes with the originals. But, the book is great! Enough detail so that even I can get it right, and where necessary (i.e. pie crust) the measurements are PERFECT. The ceviche recipe is an especially excellent one (orange+lemon+lime juice marinade - who knew?). Hearty comfort food with a lot of spirit and panache.
Book Description
With a surge in fascination with Americana and a nostalgia for simpler times, a once vanishing treasure is finding its way back into the popular culture and back onto the roadsides of the country. Their names once tempted customers with a little magic to go along with a meal—the Miss Albany, the Mayfair, Webbies, the Night Owl. Now their warmth and great food draw us toward a grand dining adventure. Indeed, the American roadside diner is a place like no other, with excellent service, reasonable prices, and conversation as plentiful as the coffee.
The story of the diner began more than 100 years ago when coffee and sandwiches were first served from the back of a horse-drawn lunch wagon in Providence, Rhode Island. Slowly these roadside treasures evolved into the stainless steel railroad cars that are now associated with diners. While their popularity declined in the 1960s as fast-food chains became popular, today they are gaining in favor as more people want the personal touch present in a homey environment.
The American Diner Cookbook contains more than 450 recipes for delicious foods that can be found on diner menus nationwide. Interviews with owners and others who have worked in diners and more than 100 black-and-white photographs appear throughout.

Bring on the memories..........2007-09-16
Each page is chock full of memories, from photos to recipes. These are simple, tasty and easy recipes to recreate your diner experience at home. A very complete book with so many recipes, this one is a must for any cookbook collector.
Great Cook Book.......2006-01-15
Purchased this for my parents, who are diner fanatics, and they absolutely loved it. My dad particularly enjoyed the pictures of diners-old and new-from across the country. And my mom loved trying to duplicate some of her favorite recipes-liver and onions, apple pie, etc. Makes a great gift to tuck into a basket with a favorite diner gift certificate.
The Diner experience - at home.......2003-05-30
If you are looking for recipes that contain wheat sprouts and tofu you won't find them here. On the other hand, if you are looking for those wonderful, delectable foods served by diners all over America in the forties or fifties you will find them.
"The American Diner" has everything from diner classics like the Monte Cristo Sandwich (two recipes) to French Onion Soup and everything in between. Other common diner recipes include omelets, Delmonico potatoes, chili, baked beans, barbecue beans, Reuben sandwich, chili-burgers, maple barbeque spareribs, Santa Fe chicken, beef stew, Hungarian goulash, sauerbraten, shepherd's pie, and chicken and dumplings. Of course it also has popular desserts like apple spice cake, Black Forest cake, apple crisp, cheesecake.
While there are not a lot of cookbooks that specialize in recipes from American diners, there are a few. That brings us to the question of what makes this book different from the others and why should you prefer it? The answer to that is easy. Not only does it have more recipes than most but it also includes a section on the traditional diner fountain. This is one of the things that I remember most about diners when I grew up and the recipes are here. Fountain specialties include favorites like the Black Cow, Black Jack, and Chocolate-Peanut Butter Milk Shake. Included are the recipes to make the syrups for the fountain specialties. Try one of my favorites, make the orange syrup and then make a wonderful Orange Cream Milk Shake.
This is a highly recommended read for anyone wanting to bring home the taste of the American diner.
A welcome addition to any kitchen cookbook collection.......2003-03-08
The roadside diner was once a fixture of American popular culture and to be found in almost every community. A place where good food, reasonable prices, friendly service, and great conversation all came together. In The American Diner Cookbook, Elizabeth McKeon and Linda Everett collaborate to present more than 450 recipes for dishes that were the staple of the diner era. From Hush Puppies; Roadside Chili; Sea Captain's Chowder; and Mushroom Burgers; to Veal Parmesan; Chicken & Dumplings; Sloppy Joes; and Chocolate Chiffon Pie, The American Diner Cookbook is a nostalgic and welcome addition to any kitchen cookbook collection, which features the added bonus of numerous historic black and white photos.

An Very Good Book if You Like Central Pennsylvania Diners.......2004-04-20
This book appears to be the eighth `Roadfood Cookbook' by Jane and Michael Stern who also write a `Roadfood' column for Gourmet magazine. Aside from the fact that this book has just been published, I got a copy to review because I grew up on the same kind of Pennsylvania Dutch cooking described in this book. Thus, I was sure I was doubly qualified to evaluate this volume.
The value of this book to a reader will be directly proportional to the degree to which they really like diner food of eastern Pennsylvania. Like many other local cookbooks, the food is simply not as interesting as you will find in just about any cookbook by a professional culinary journalist such as Patricia Wells; top rated restaurant chef such as Tom Colicchio or Alfred Portale; or TV program host such as Sara Moulton or Tyler Florence.
All the recipes for non-Pennsylvania Dutch specialities are pale imitations of, for example, Italian or New England specialities. The recipes rely very heavily on canned products and the amount of butter used in many of the recipes would make a French chef blanche. Oddly enough, some recipes occasionally use margarine instead of butter for no apparent reason.
One example of a classic recipe done with an inferior recipe is the offering for creamed chipped beef. This book's recipe adds no spices whatsoever. A very good recipe in Craig Claiborne's New York Times cookbook uses a technique that is much more familiar to cooks who are used to making roux and bechamel sauces. It also suggests adding nutmeg, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne.
Another classic with an inferior recipe is the cole slaw recipe. It is just one of a long string of vegetable and vegetable / protein salads where mayonnaise is a major ingredient. James Beard gives a far superior recipe for cole slaw with no mayonnaise. I am entirely familiar with the fact that there are hundreds of variations on cole slaw. I am only indicating that the version offered here is not the best.
All recipe instructions are fairly simple because so many of the dishes are fairly simple, relying on rich ingredients such as butter, mayonnaise, half and half, cream, or canned soups for their punch. The instructions for preparing most vegetables is to `chop' them, where most cookbooks would specify a quarter inch dice or smaller. Some recipes call for grating onions by a food processor. Most other writers would suggest a dice, as the food processor can turn onions into slime.
Most of my comments are really not relevant to true Pennsylvania Dutch specialities, as the book is pretty true to my experience of this style of cooking. The recipes for the famous `Dutch' relishes such as chow-chow are pretty close (although my experience is that the green beans are usually cut, while the authors put them in whole). The recipes for breakfast sticky buns are as good or better than I have seen from similar local sources, but not as good as the Julia Child book on baking.
One really surprising exception to the very ordinary type of recipe to be found here is the pancake recipe. This is one of the very few places where I have seen people take the trouble to separate yolks from whites and whip the whites and fold them into the rest of the batter. I am impressed.
If you want an ethnologic picture of central Pennsylvania diner fare, you cannot find any better source than this book. It is also a reasonably good book of Pennsylvania Dutch recipes, but it leaves out several classics such as stuffed pig stomach and apple dumplings. If you are fond of the authors' series of Roadfood books, you do not want to miss this offering. It's picture of coal region life, as someone who lives on the outskirts of this area should know, is excellent.
If you want a good Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook, I recommend you pass on this book and get a book by Betty Groff, Mary Showalter, or Phyllis Pellman Good.
Recommended with qualifications. I give it four stars rather than three because of its relatively low list price.
Book Description
The motto at the Comfort Diner is a simple one: “Time to eat good food!”
And for Ira Freehof, owner of New York’s Comfort Diner, “good food” means fresh interpretations of classic American comfort food. Here he shares all the recipes that lure hungry types of all stripes into the cozy, bright booths of his restaurants, which have earned best-diner awards from Time Out New York and The Resident. Diner-inspired standards from Mom’s Meatloaf to perfect Macaroni and Cheese are covered, but so are newer dishes that have been eagerly adopted into the pantheon of American culinary favorites: Warm Taco Salad, Black Bean Quesadillas, Chinese Chicken Salad, and Three-Bean Vegetarian Chili. With recipes that both hearken back to the golden age of the diner and update the classics for today’s healthful living, this comfort food is truly family food that everyone will enjoy.
Because it’s always time to eat good food, The Comfort Diner Cookbook has irresistible recipes to fuel you from morning to midnight: substantial breakfasts (from Breakfast Burritos to Berry-Stuffed French Toast); sandwiches—traditional and with a twist (featuring the Cobb Salad Sandwich and the Thanksgiving-on-a-Roll Turkey, Cheddar, and Cranberry Melt); an entire delectable chapter devoted to grilled cheese—and another to thick milkshakes; a healthy helping of scrumptious salads; anytime small plates (such as Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread and Shrimp with Bloody Mary Cocktail Sauce); satisfying big plates (including the ultimate Comforting Chicken Potpie); and divine desserts (with a heavenly Banana Cream Pie). Accompanying these surefire recipes is a wealth of lore about America’s favorite homestyle dishes and foodstuffs, along with a side of diner trivia and nostalgia, making this book as fun to read as it is rewarding to use.

We have eaten at the Comfort Diner several times on our trips to NYC. This book has the best of the menu choices. I love the cookbook!
Comfort Food at its Best.......2007-05-16
If you aren't able to get to New York City to try some of Ira Freehof's tasty comfort food in person, The Comfort Diner cookbook is the second best thing to that round trip ticket (and a fraction of the cost). These are classic comfort food recipes, updated with fresh, wholesome ingredients. There are recipes for beginner cooks and gourmet chefs alike, each of them easy-to-read and foolproof. My 11-year-old daughter loves to make the Blueberry Muffins (her brothers love to eat them). I am an experienced cook who has tried the Chicken Pot Pie and Red Flannel Hash, adding a few touches of my own. Whether you aren't used to spending much time in the kitchen, or you're the next Top Chef contestant, there is something inspirational and tasty in this cookbook for you. Bon Appetit!

Comfort Diner Cookbook is a classic!.......2007-01-18
Wonderful easy to prepare, home-cooked style recipes with delightful 50's style artwork with plenty of helpful tips randomly placed within the 160 pages. The chapter style layout makes it easy to read & the print (font size) is nice sized. I would have rated it 5 STARS, except it contains no pictures of the recipes. Bought one for my daughter-in-law and one for myself! Very satisfied!
Comfort Diner Cookbook.......2006-08-03
I visited the Comfort Diner when I was visiting NY recently and really enjoyed the pancakes and vanilla shake (best ever). We have only tried the pancake and french toast recipes in this book but they were both great. The snippets of info along the way are interesting and so are some of the twists in the recipes. I have bought 3 more copies as gifts.

Not a Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes Cookbook!.......1999-11-25
I have one word for you--yummy. I bought this book years ago at a book sale and I use this cookbook more than I any other in my collection. There are tons of recipes for brunch--scrapples, muffins and great salads. I have a few personal favorites that I make over and over. There are some very good vegetarian recipes (tofu reubens) and ethnic-influenced recipes (Rooster's Beak Salad and Javanese Rice Table) I am so glad this book is still available. I am buying it for my sister and my friend for Christmas.
