5 stars (Good Dog Stories, Funny, Touching, True) - This is a great book, made me laugh a lot, hard to put down if you like reading a good dog story, and it's title is true. This is the story of how a dog gave the author and her family the priceless challenges of owning a dog - a hound at that, love, joy (when she wasn't running into a busy street), and how she saved the lives of other dogs, and even inspired her owner to write this wonderful book for the world to read. There are also stories of other people and their dogs. Very well-written and it made me laugh throughout. 5 stars (What the Dog Did: Tales from a Formerly Reluctant Dog Owner) - This is the funniest book over all that I have ever read! There are some sad parts, letting you know how cruel people can be to animals, but for the most part, I laughed so long and hard, I broke a blood vessel in my nose which caused a nose bleed!! It was worth it, however! I would recommend this book highly, if you are an animal lover. Vicki G, Elk River, MN 5 stars (Laughing all the way to the pound) - This book will do just that to you...have you laughing, and going to the pound to find a wonderful dog to save. Having gotten my beagle from BREW, the rescue organization featured a few times in this book, I felt a special connection to what Yoffe wrote, but even without that connection, this book will please you to no end if you're a dog person in the least. Her stories will hit home, make you laugh, and make you want to go over and give a big hug to your dog for being the wonderful creature he/she is. I highly recommend this book. ...

3 stars (Good book on golf but not a manual on golf swing) - If you are looking for a good book on golf in general, this may fit your bill. If you are looking for specific tips on the golf swing, you may be disappointed. There are some thoughts on the swing, but not as much as you would expect from a book that has got so many great reviews. I suppose this is the kind of book that you will re-read and appreciate more and more over the years. From the book, you will get a feel for how good a teacher Penick was and how a coach should tailor his teachings according to the student. All those who never had the opportunity to learn from a great teacher but wanted to have a second-hand experience at least through his book, may come away a little disappointed since this is not a substitute for a lesson. 4 stars (Great Tips, not for someone looking for swing fundamentals) - I enjoyed the book, it had some great tips. But it's not for a beginner looking for swing fundamentals, instead try Ben Hogan's 5 lessons. Still worth reading though. 5 stars (A Common-Sense Classic) - This little collection of wisdom from Harvey Penick has become the best selling sports book of all time. Which just goes to show you, when it comes to golf instruction, less really is more. Penick proves you don't need stop-action photography and a lot of technical nonsense to have a great golf book. His simple observations are far more valuable. Even when Penick is addressing a complex mechanical issue, such as the position of the right elbow, he uses language and images that everyone can understand. His entire approach to the mental game is summed up in two pages on "positive thinking," and his advice on putting is priceless. So if you feel like you're getting overloaded with too much information, put everything else away and pick up the little red book. ...
