Product Description
A comprehensive guide to polycystic ovary syndrome, from a leading authority on the condition
One in ten American women of childbearing age is affected by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to some degree, and many suffer from serious symptoms, such as infertility, early miscarriage, chronic pelvic pain, weight gain, high blood pressure, acne, and abnormal hair growth. PCOS is by far the most common hormone imbalance in women of this age group, yet few women understand the threat it poses to their health—or how to prevent it.
In A Patient’s Guide to PCOS, Dr. Walter Futterweit, a foremost authority on PCOS in America, tells women everything they need to know about this condition and how to treat it. Drawing on his twenty-five years researching and treating the condition and his ongoing long-term study of more than a thousand women with PCOS, Futterweit discusses
• what PCOS is and how it affects your body
• what to eat and how to exercise to control PCOS
• all the treatment options, including the latest drug therapies
• how to reverse PCOS-induced infertility and restore
healthy skin and hair
• resources for preventing, diagnosing, and treating PCOS
This comprehensive guide contains everything women need to know about PCOS—from identifying warning signs and seeking a diagnosis to finding emotional support in recovery—to regain their health and resume their lives.

 It was ok but...not a great read., 2008-10-24
This was my first Paul Auster novel. The cover notes had me intrigued. I was expecting a page turner and was eager to get sucked in to a great story of Philip Rothian proportions. Instead, I had to force myself to keep going. About 100 pages in I settled into the rhythm and although I never truly identified with any of the characters, it became a pleasant enough story.
Nathan returns to Brooklyn not sure if he has survived cancer (he has). He reunites with his nephew Tom who works in a bookstore owned by Harry Brightman, a rather sinister, yet we are expected to believe, somewhat benevolent [...] character. Much of the story's twists and turns center around these guys. But there are many others who come and go, and come again.
Read it on a plane, read it at the beach. Just don't read it expecting the next great American novel.

Very confusing. , 2008-09-23
After having heard so much about Mr. Auster's novels, I finally got around to reading one. And as much as I'd like to agree with some of the other reviewers here as to the stellar qualities of ''The Brooklyn Follies', I can't.
The novel is narrated in the first-person. This is a partial explanation as to why it comes across as...well...the efforts of a not-very-good writer. At least in the delivery. The narrator's 'true voice'. But it doesn't account for the fact that much of the dialogue is horrible (in fact, unbelievable), and that many of the story aspects are simply laughable.
Hence, my confusion; this is the work of one of America's best writers.
As I completed the book, I was trying to imagine how this story could have been told so that justice would have been done to the various plotlines and characters. But my confusion was a little too overwhelming, so I wasn't able to see a way where this might have been possible.
I've given it three stars, but I still wouldn't recommend it.

 This book will touch your heart for a long time, 2008-07-29
After you read the other reviews you will know what the story is about. It is very easy to read and direct. A no brainer and yet, there are many passages that will make you pause and think. Much will remind you of your own life, in a good way. This book is an excellant read.

A year of journaling from a boring old man... , 2008-05-30
I was so disappointed. This book was a mash of a few slightly interesting characters and a great premise that never delievered. I kept wanting Auster to give me something more outlandish or intriguing then the ideals of his nephew on Bush politics or a gay ex-convict (which was the most interesting thing in the book).
Not a timeless piece you really are very clear the exact year it was written which is disturbing to me when reading a modern novel. However if you are an old man looking for an example of how to journal about your life for a year then I would suggest this book. Otherwise it just isn't worth the read. It wasn't horrible, just totally forgettable.

It starts well, 2008-05-27
The book starts well, promissing a lot. However, it looses a lot of power after a few pages. You keep waiting characters to become more "deep" and "complex", but you end up with a soap opera - a good one, of course - but that lacks depth for a novel by Paul Auster.
