Book Reviews of Better Than Steroids
Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone (bodybuilder or not) who is interested in how do build lean mass and lose fat should have this book in their library. I am so tired of negative "reviews" that state the book has "nothing new" or its information can be found for "free on the Internet". Obviously the same can be said for almost any book-- almost anything can be found on the Internet (even copyrighted material!). However, that requires finding the material, filtering out all of the conflicting information and judging whether to trust the source of the information found on the Internet. The whole point of buying a book, any book, is that the material is edited, presented in a clear, logical fashion, is supported by citations or research, and is written by an authority. This book gets 5 stars in all those respects!Book Review: Great info, could use some editing
Summary: 4 Stars
This book has a lot of good information, eating plans, supplementation advice, gym-advice, etc. It's a pretty quick read and can be easily used as further reference material.
The only thing that annoyed me about the book is the overly apparent need for editing. This is most noticeable in the frequent misspellings. A quick example is found in the appendix on supplements. There is a section of this chapter titled "Pysillium", this paragraph then starts, "Psyillium is a fiber found in. . .". The correct spelling is Psyllium.
It drives me a little bit crazy to read a published work that I feel has simple, yet glaring errors. Beyond that I would highly recommend it. It held my attention well and has a lot to offer to those who want to improve their physique.
Book Review: Not too bad,I like it!
Summary: 3 Stars
He could have even made it shorter. Anyways, the book is not for pros or people who already in the BB forums, it gives bigenners the basic grounds to start bodybuilding (so no need to buy his fomer book because this one covers it and more). For people that do not know where to start or how to google, this book is for you. BUT do not depend entirly on this basic info, spend some time online searching, especially on workout plans because he did not cover them in a consistent way.
Am not saying I didn't learn anything from it, I actually found Chapter 9 to be a great topic and I got quit good info from it.
am taking out 2 star for the high price :)
I look forward to see more books from him.

Book Review: Straight-forward & simple. It works.
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is great. Sure, he plugs his others writings in the book (what author doesn't do that), and yes there are several grammatical errors.... so what! I didn't buy the book to have a grammar lesson. The information he presents is acurate, simple to understand, and it works. Although general in scope, there are a few points of interest where he explains the why and how of things. Yes, you can find all if not most of the same information on the internet for free, but(especially if you're new to bodybuidling/weight lifting), it will take a lot of searching and scouring websites and forums to do it. Everything in the books is packaged very well, chapters are short, and it's easy to read and apply. I read it casually in two days.Book Review: Relevant Information
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading the reviews, I thought I would learn a lot from this book.....I must have underestimated my understanding of bodybuilding nutrition. Like others have said here, you can get all the information in bodybuilding forums. This book is spot on for people that know little about nutrient timing. The book does offer decent example meal plans for different goals (fat loss, muscle gain, or both). If you are a intermediate or veteran fitness enthusiast, save your money. If you are new to the bodybuilding world, get this book....I recommend going to Dr. Willey's website and downloading the ebook (which is only 20 dollars and you get an immediate download).
