Editorial Review:

Beer Blast: The Inside Story of the Brewing Industry's Bizarre Battles for Your Money. A third-generation beer exec Philip Van Munching has quit the biz, but he takes a look back and delivers an inside account of the great beer wars of the past few decades. From the disaster of the first "lite" beer (Gablinger's, which tasted "god-awful ... so metallic it would set your teeth on edge"), to the later marketing triumphs (and occasional embarrassments) that mark today's brewing industry, Van Munching tells the story with great detail and mostly good humor. How the brewers, the ad agencies, TV networks, and retailers all work to deliver the suds in your mug turns out to be an engaging and frequently funny story.

The rise and fall of beer trends--from sports sponsorships to low-cals, and status-conscious imports to creatively crafted microbrews--mirror, in many ways, the larger culture that embraces them. Philip Van Munching offers a clever and knowing look at its ups and downs in the industry.

Handles French with grace???! 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is a review of the audiobook. I'll say up front that I love Julia Child and that I lived in France for five years. The book is a lot of fun, and doesn't claim to be more than it is -- a series of remembrances of a treasured time in her life. If you like cooking, eating, wine and/or France, you will likely find it enjoyable.

HOWEVER, contrary to the publisher's blurb, the reader murdered most of the French. I had to take the printed book out of the library to verify that I recognized some of the places she mispronounced. This will probably not bother you if you don't speak French and don't know France, but it very nearly ruined the book for me. I'm appalled that the publisher didn't bother to make sure that they either hired a reader who could speak French or find someone who did to train her and check the finished result. Very shoddy indeed.

WOW! A MUST read for anyone planning a cruise! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

The best investment I could have made for planning my cruise is a copy of this book and audio tape. Jim West was a cruise director who worked onboard cruise ships for 10 years, and he tells it like it is! It is worth 10 times the price! He is now a cruise travel agent who personally plans cruises. I called him, and he was very helpful in finding my family a fantastic price on our vacation cruise. You can reach him at 800-708-0880. And for the record, I don't get any kick-back for endorsing him or this package! He really is great!

Editorial Review:

This compact collection of cruise wisdom offers everything for a perfect holiday at sea. Jim West has logged millions of nautical miles as a cruise director and doles out the answers to cruise questions with wit and style. How can you get the best cabin for your price range? The best table in the dining room? The best service from the crew? Like having your own personal cruise consultant, The Essential Little Cruise Book will help you to make the most of your time at sea. Topics covered range from choosing the right cruise to planning, packing, as well as onboard activities and shore excursions. Running time of audio tape: approximately 60 minutes.
