WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?

Apparently the reviewer from PW read a different book from the one Lisa Rogak wrote.... Her book on Atkins was funny, juicy,informative... and really a tribute to the man who was so ahead of his time. I loved the different faces of Atkins revealed, the surprising and sometimes a little shocking facets of the man's personality. Also, revealing the fact that Atkins was a proponent of alternative medicine left me wanting to know more. Atkins was a risk taker, a man who dared to be different. Rogak gives us all the personal tidbits that existed behind the public persona who was that man. I love the diet... and I love Rogak's book!

Fascinating story about a fascinating man!

Dr. Atkins changed dieting and the diet industry single-handed. Now you can discover the amazing man behind the well-known name in this riveting biography. This story is so thoroughly researched and well-written, I could hardly put it down. I'm looking forward to reading much more from this author!
