The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in "Healthy" Foods That Cause Disease and Weight Gain review
![](https://pthumb.lisimg.com/image/products/100/006242713X/books/006242713X.jpg)
Outlandish assertions, without sound evidence nor trials to prove them. As many do, confuses (or tries to obscure the differences between) "organic" and non-GMO.

Presentation Zen Design: Simple Design Principles and Techniques to Enhance Your Presentations review
![](https://lthumb.lisimg.com/200/16614200.jpg?width=100&sharpen=true)
The author does list a lot of very useful facts and tips about good presentation design. However, some of the actual examples presented as "good" are so horrible bad that makes one wonder how well he understood his own advise.

Ancient Chinese Weapons: A Martial Arts Guide review
![](https://lthumb.lisimg.com/725/14306725.jpg?width=100&sharpen=true)
Fine book if you are interested in the topic and don't know much, but lacking depth into actual techniques and training methods used at different points in time: it looks more like a catalogue than a real guide

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity review
![](https://pthumb.lisimg.com/image/productsus/100/0142000280/books/0142000280.jpg)
This is a great book... unless you've already been doing GTD without reading the source material but the myriad of blogs, podcasts and other books about the topic (and using some common sense).
Doing the initial legwork of coming up with most of this stuff and organizing it in a "methodology" is a great achievement we all have to recognize. However, unless you've never heard about GTD before now, I wouldn't spend much time on these book

The End of Food: How the Food Industry is Destroying Our Food Supply--And What We Can Do About It review
![](https://pthumb.lisimg.com/image/productsus/100/1569803021/books/1569803021.jpg)
If you know at least a little about the topic of how bad our food system currently is, I'd rather spend my time learning how to grow my own food, growing it or buying from local farmers markets than reading this book: you won't find anything new here.
If you are interested, but don't know anything about the topic, watching a good documentary is more cost effective (Food Inc is my fav), as there are no practical tips in this book, and it's fairly boring. After learning more about the topic, you'll be better off reading the first paragraph of this review

Budo review
![](https://pthumb.lisimg.com/image/productsus/100/B0006SSQNE/movies/B0006SSQNE.jpg)
Even though it has some interesting footage and shows the highlights of various Japanese martial arts, this documentary feels a little too slow or moments, repeating similar fragments over and over again.

Password Incorrect (Geek Fiction Stories Vol. 1/2) review
![](https://pthumb.lisimg.com/image/products/100/B003552KPK/books/B003552KPK.jpg)
Even though this compilation has some good short stories (like "Password Incorrect", the one that gives name to the book), the overall quality is pretty low. If you're a geek, I would recommend starting to read it and throw it away as soon as you feel the stories are getting dumber.

The Analects Of Confucius review
![](https://lthumb.lisimg.com/0/0.jpg?width=100&sharpen=true)
Even though this is a masterpiece because of its content, the particular edition (bilingual) is an extremely bad one. The binding is ugly and the translation, awful

Machinarium review
![](https://lthumb.lisimg.com/826/29402826.jpg?width=100&sharpen=true)
Playing this game feels like going back to the 90s, with unforgettable Point & Click Graphic Adventures... but with XXI Century hand drawn graphics and an amazing soundtrack. If you love GA, go for this one
