Water Aerobic Workout
This is the second water aerobic book I've purchased and I certainly saved the best for last.I am a novice at water aerobics and it is a great book.From what I've read so far, it goes through all levels of exercise.I would definitely recmmend it.

SuperBook!
The Complete Waterpower Workout book is thorough and well illustrated to demonstate the exercises.You can do in the water what you cannot do on land.In water the pain is gone so you can obtain a full range of motion.I highly recommend this book and the two others this author has colaborated on...Healing your hips and Healing your knees.But, you'll only get out of it what you put into it.To be effective you have to schedule your time and be consistent using your muscles and paying attention to your body positions throughout.If you just wiggle your finger or an ear and not use the water pressure to intensify the move it won't do anything for you.If you enjoy exercising and follow the program you will reap many rewards following this therapist.

INDISPENSIBLE - Too bad it isn't waterproof!!
This book gives detailed instructions and photos of the exercises that are clear and easy to understand.It also gives a recommended program week by week to get you started if you're a beginner and way out of shape.The program from just starting out to progressively more strenuous is excellent and adaptable.It provides a good balance of aerobic and strength training exercises.I use what I've learned from this book every time I go in the pool.I love getting a hearty workout with no sweat!I highly recommend this book--too bad it isn't waterproof!

TTH
I've applied almost every workout in the "Waterpower Workout Book" for two years after a major car accident which injured my lower back.I rejoined the Army Reserves and passed the Army Physical Fitness Test with flying colors with a total score of 280.

Product Description
Matt Scudder is finally leading a comfortable life.The crime rate's down and the stock market's up.Gentrification's prettying-up the old neighborhood.The New York streets don't look so mean anymore.

Then all hell breaks loose.

Scudder quickly discovers the spruced-up sidewalks are as mean as ever, dark and gritty and stained with blood.He's living in a world where the past is a minefield, the present is a war zone, and the future's an open question.It's a world where nothing is certain and nobody's safe, a random universe where no one's survival can be taken for granted.Not even his own.

A world where everybody dies.Amazon.com Review
You would think that by the 14th novel in a series, an author might becomea bit bored with his characters, a bit sloppy in his writing. Thankfully,Lawrence Block is no such writer. Matt Scudder, in his 14thappearance, is as sharp and entertaining as he is in such mysteries asEight Million Ways toDie and A Dance atthe Slaughterhouse. Scudder is one of the few dicks out there witha fully fleshed-out personality; he's not insensitive to the mayhem around him,and his fears are well founded and realistic. After all, as the titleboldly states, we live in a world where everybody dies.

Settled into married life, sober, and finally a legit private eye (thestate granted his license), Scudder is prepared to become a respectablehigh-priced detective working for New York City lawyers. But when his old buddy,Mick Ballou, comes to him because two of his runners end up murdered, Scudderfinds himself sinking back into the muck of the underworld. While dodgingthugs who are out to put a stop to his investigation, Scudder must figure out who has it in for Ballou.

The writing in this novel is elegant--equally supple in describing thegibbous moon as it is in sorting out Scudder's feelings on the murder of aclose friend, or when recounting a rather gory eye plucking. The dialogue issnappy and true to life. Lawrence Block once again proves he's worthy ofthe title Grand Master of Mystery. So be sure to set aside a chunk of timebefore you sit down to read this novel, because you're not going to beable to tear yourself away. --Jenny Brown ... Read more

Cold, Dark Noir
You'll want to turn up the heat and get under the blanket after this one. It's dark, dark, dark.

Still, I've read lots of Lawrence Block, and this one is one of my favorites. The characters are strong, and the plot is gripping. Yes, it starts a little slow, but there's quite a pay-off at the end.

This one's very memorable and haunting--it will stick with me a long time.

A bout with morality
Block's Scudder series is serious business, though his characterizations are phenomenal in all his series.The other two: Burglar/Rhodenbarr and Tanner are much lighter.This particular Scudder continues his psychological explorations of middle-aged, formerly embittered, alcoholic, unofficial detective Matt Scudder.This one has quite a bit of action, as opposed to the last work, "Even the Wicked."A good mystery writer spins a fine tale, but a great mystery writer evolves into a great writer who chooses to write mysteries--evolving the genre into literature.It seems to me that this is Block's objective, conscious or unconscious as the case may be.Certainly his descriptions of Scudder's bout with relative morality is fine work.Many sides of his "hero" (some light, some dark) are variously depicted in this incredible series.Scudder is all too human.Block also coins memorable turns of phrase (some funny), that I add to my quote collection, such as: "I could probably be a vegetarian like Elaine, but only if bacon was declared a vegetable" on page 215.I didn't read the series in order, I think it would be better to do so, since they build on each other, and the characters' growth trend and relationships develop through the series which is chronological.

Listening to stories
Matt Scudder walks and Elaine goes to the gym for exercise.Mick Ballou is a notorious criminal and Grogans, in Hell's Kitchen, is his bar and headquarters.Mick is an unlikely friend for a private detective to have.

Matt is faced with the mystery of two deceased persons, formerly of the North of Ireland, and a substantial amount of twice stolen whiskey.Mick believes he has an enemy.Matt Scudder still attends AA meetings.He usually fits in two or three a week.He enjoys listening to the stories.

On Sunday evenings he eats dinner with his sponsor.When he and his sponsor go out to dinner, by coincidence, they are dressed in similar garb.The sponsor becomes another victim while Matt is using the lavatory.Matt knows his sponsor would destroy his guilty thoughts by pointing out that Matt is just an alcoholic.Matt finds himself explaining to the investigating officers the role of a sponsor in the AA program.

Matt is saved from danger by Mick.Gary Alan Dowling is the son of Patrick Farrelly, a man who had operated in opposition toMick Ballou.He may have some involvement in the recent matters of conflict.This is an exceptionally dark tale in the Matt Scudder series.

violent, but good book
Lawrence Block's book is violent, and sometimes unintentionally humorous, but interesting.As read by Mr. Forster, whose accent is not bad, but a bit over the top (in places) as it gets more violent at the end. Overall, it is a pretty good introduction to his writing.This is the first book of his I've listened to and have bought the paperback.I will probably look for more of these.

Not Everybody Died
"Everybody Dies" represents author Lawrence Block's attempt to reintroduce the edge that the great private detective Matthew Scudder lost in the previous novel, "Even the Wicked."In "Wicked," Scudder turned into super-sleuth, solving three high profile cases while never coming remotely close to courting physical danger.The result was the weakest novel of the 14 (and counting) in the series."Everybody Dies" tries to be different.Right off the bat, Scudder is viscously attacked on the street, his AA sponser is killed by a hired gunman who mistakes him for Scudder, and his gangster buddy Mick Ballou's bar is firebombed, which kills a dozen people including Scudder's former mistress.The rest of the novel concerns Scudder and Ballou's search for those responsible in order to take revenge.

All of this sounds exciting, and yet it is curiously rather sterile.In the best Scudder books, the threat is always lurking in the background, including the threat that Scudder might fall off the wagon.Here it seems over the top and not particularly plausible.The leading badguy seems as if he'd be incapable of being organized enough to take on Ballou the way he does and the climatic battle has surprisingly little tension.One problem, I think, is that Scudder has become far too domesticated with his stable marriage and stable life.As a character, he needs to return to the edge.Otherwise his stories will continue to be safe and predictable, rather than daring like the best of the series, no matter how many minor characters Block kills off in the process. ...
