YOU: The Owner's Manual, Updated and Expanded Edition: An Insider's Guide to the Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger
Date undefinedMy sister requested a book by Dr. Oz as her Christmas present this year. I searched for it on Amazon.com, and found several by Dr. Oz to choose from. I ordered "YOU: The Owner's Manual..." It arrived at her doorstep in record time. The speed amazed me. She has reported that the book is wonderful -- filled with wisdom and delightful humor.

Date undefinedIt seems as though the author of this book thinks the average American is a complete moron. While that's debatable, I certainly didn't appreciate the information being presented in such a heavily dumbed-down manner. The book is written so that a twelve-year-old could understand it, but for some reason it's littered with a bunch of really stupid jokes and puns that are hard to tolerate. The so-called humorous parts also completely distract the reader from the facts. The anatomical cartoons are unnecessary and obnoxious as well. Additionally, while some women's health information is mentioned (barely), the target reader of this book is likely a middle-aged man.

Date undefinedLove this book. Roisen and Oz make their books easy to understand and read. Lots of great information on all around health. They explain how things effect your body and how to be healthy.
