1.		Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies from W.W. Norton & Co. Price: $15.26 Customer Review: What can I say about this book that has not been written already? It seams the author has a view then went out to write a book that proves this view. Interesting ideas but there is not one chapter that would prove his theory wrong.

5.		Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution Of Human Sexuality (Science Masters) from Basic Books Price: $5.37 Customer Review: Why is sex fun - book review. Why?

6.		1000 Events That Shaped the World from National Geographic Price: $8.00 Customer Review: I don't beleive the sole review of this book should be a result of the reviewer not reading about the book first, and, admittedly, not completely reading the book prior to reviewing.
