Book Description

Praise for Thirty-Three Teeth:

"Paiboun's droll wit and Cotterill's engaging plot twists keep things energetic; the rather grisly murders are offset by comedyâ€¦. The elegant, elderly Paiboun seems an unlikely vehicle to carry a series â€¦ but he does so with charm and aplomb."-Entertainment Weekly

"The series neatly manages to include an engrossing mystery-political and folk history and a lot of sly satire."-Day to Day, NPR

"Keeps a perfect balance between the modern mysteries of forensic science and the ancient secrets of the spirit world."-The New York Times Book Review

Feisty Dr. Siri Paiboun is no respecter of persons or Party; at his age he feels he can afford to be independent. In this, the second novel in the series, he travels to Luang Prabang where he communes with the deposed king who is resigned to his fate: it was predicted long ago. And he attends a conference of shamans called by the Communist Party to deliver an ultimatum to the spirits: obey Party orders or get out. But as a series of mutilated corpses arrives in Dr. Siri's morgue, and Nurse Dtui is menaced, he must use all his powers-forensic and shamanic-to discover the creature-animal or spirit-that has been slaying the innocent.

Colin Cotterill was born in London in 1952. He has taught in Australia, the United States and Japan, and has lived in Thailand, on the Burmese border and in Laos. He lives in Chiang mai in northern Thailand.

Whimsical & deeply strange mystery about a rowdy old ..........2007-08-07

... coroner in 1977 Communist Laos who solves some mysteries with supernatural overtones. Often very funny. Longer review available at my website the Impatient Reader. See My Amazon profile for URL.

Interesting characters, different locale.......2007-06-08

This is the 2nd book in a series by Colin Cotterill featuring a 72-year-old mystery-solving coroner in communist-occupied Laos after the Vietnam War. It is an extremely interesting book due to the descriptions of the area, the people and the government, as well as quirky characters which are believable. Mr. Cotterill does an excellent job of bringing not only the people but the country and its mores to life with humor and an slyly observant eye. Two thumbs up!

thirty-three teeth.......2007-01-05

We loved this book. Dr. Siri Paibaum is the most charming fellow. He puts us to mind of Mmw Ramotswe inthe Alexander MaCall Smith series...a person strong of character, wise, and caring.

Second book in a delightful series.......2006-08-02

"Thirty-Three Teeth" continues the saga of Dr. Siri Paiboun who, well into his seventies, is more or less drafted to serve as the coroner of Laos. The first in the series, "The Coroner's Lunch," was, for me, the nicest surprise I had all last year (from a book, that is), and the new one is, if anything, even better.

What makes these books so wonderful? Well, practically everything. The characters are fresh, the writing is sharp and, in this age of bloat, kept refreshingly short. The setting is completely unexplored up until now, and in Cotterill's vision it's a comic-opera banana dictatorship run by incompetents whose only real motivation is to dig a protective moat around their own rear ends, a place where truth comes in a distant second to doctrine and expedience.

But what I like best is the way Cotterill interweaves into his mysteries the internal world of the Laotians, rich in both spirit and spirits. Dr. Siri -- not entirely to his pleasure -- has gained entry into the world of the dead, and his dreams are full of the people whose deaths he somewhat reluctantly investigates. This additional layer is never intrusive and never overdone. It gives us insight into a worldview that is very different that that of the West, one that is in some ways richer and more beautiful.

It wouldn't be fair to write even a few paragraphs about this book without saying that Cotterill is also very funny. From my perspective, this is the most delightful new series in several years. I ordered the new one, "Disco for the Departed," months before it came out, and it's currently sitting on my To Be Read shelf -- I keep putting it off because once I start it I'll read it in one sitting, and then it'll be over.

Give Colin Cotterill a try. I've bought several copies of the first two books to give away, but since I probably don't know you, you'll have to pay for your own.

grossly underrated.......2006-04-15

i'm not normally one to write reviews for books, but having read thirty three teeth i looked at the amazon site and was astounded to find that the first two reviews were so negative. i feel a great injustice has been done. this book is a magical piece that deserves nothing but the highest praise and i would be distressed if people were dissuaded from reading it after looking at the comments of one or two peculiar reviewers. dr. siri and his band of wonderful characters take us on a journey through a land few of us will have a chance to visit and enthralls us with mystical and political tales told by a deft storyteller. my friends and i will be camped out in front of the bookshop in time for the release of any future dr. siri books from this very gifted author.

A very good manga.......2006-09-19

This manga is one of my favs. this story never gets old, the animation is a little hard to tell whats happening but its not that bad. the manga is much less modest that the anime, alot of panty shots in this one. it has the same shoujo-ai as the anime but it also has some shonen-ai with was kind of a turn off, the kurumi sense of humor is in full bloom with this one. the series has no lag in it and damn near no wasted time. the time that they spend introducing the characters is well spent and not to long (unlike the lord of the rings). the anime is still my favorite, i recomend watching it first. FYI the storys are different.

enjoy it because it's silly.......2005-09-23

Anyone who wants to make manga too serious is just plain crazy. This series does have a lot of fan service, panty shots, straight and gay/lesbian come on's and so on and so forth. It is also completely adorable with the steel angels and how they relate to each other and the human beings around them. If you've read a lot of manga and want something new, I'd recommend it. I wouldn't however, recommend it to a newbie manga fan, as the drawing can be a little difficult to make out for a newcomer, especially the action scenes. The basic plotline is that this is an alternative version of the past, in the early 1900's (I think). The boy who is the main character is a young mystic who stumbles upon the body of a defunct robot (Steel Angel Kurumi) and wakes her up with the infamous "Japanese accidental kiss." Even though her creator is there in the building with the boy she of course immediately declares that the young boy is her master and then they get into a fight with a bunch of soldiers who are after her and the scientist who created her. That's how it starts. There's a lot of plot twists, and interesting and surprising developments along the first two volumes of this series (the only ones I've read so far) such as people you thought were bad ending up good and people who were good ending up bad. Even with the conventional antics of the angels, obsessed with those they care about, I found this series different enough to be a interesting read.

Not as engrossing as I expected..........2004-03-05

I read the Maico 2010 series before I read this, and that may have tainted my judgment somewhat. But to me, this series is nothing new, and not as interesting as Maico was to me. Kurumi feels rushed, like the author was trying to put it out before the deadline and didn't bother to really concentrate on it. So much more could have been done with it, especially once the sister angels arrived. The premise is much like Maico, Oh My Goddess, or AI Love You in that a young, inhuman girl (a robot) falls for the first man she sees and pledges to be with him and protect him forever. That plotline has been overdone. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing--I love Maico and Oh My Goddess, and I DID buy Steel Angel Kurumi. But I found that Kurumi has too many unaddressed issues and a rushed plot, so it failed to grab my attention for long.

Go Go Kurumi!.......2004-01-13

I've been a major Kurumi fan from the beginning, and this is even better! Though I prefer the anime because it's a lot more amusing, the manga does it total justice. So if you loved to anime, you have to get the manga, it's great! THe art is good, and well...okay there is a scene about Nakahito that's totally wrong...but who cares it's manga! So buy it!

T&A.......2004-01-13

Title says it all. Pretty drawing style, lots of fan service (including some shounen-ai amasingly enough - in the US they would never mix straight and gay eye candy). No plot really, no point on getting it for any other reason. For those that like that sort of thing, enjoy.

Book Description

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic technique designed to counter extreme emotional reactions — before they lead to overwhelming anger, depression, anxiety, and stress-related ailments. An eclectic mix of cognitive-behavioral techniques, skills training, Zen, and existentialism, DBT helps readers pay attention to their emotions, assess their blocks to controlling them, become less judgmental of themselves when they lose control, and ultimately eliminate overpowering feelings. Worksheets and assessment exercises round out this breakthrough program.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy.......2007-09-25

Having just been diagnosed with BPD, I have found books such as this very helpful as my husband and I discuss the best way for our family to deal with my sensitivity to emotions and mood changes. My oldest son is also displaying behaviors indicative of BPD and we are looking for help for him, too.

adjunctive.......2007-06-18

must use w/ the original great--Linehan's DBT skills training workbook. i like these exercises, but you will need to preview before each class and come up w/ a solid tie-in w/ the DBT skills...it just doesn't stand alone in a way that is useful to clients.

You can teach an old woman new skills.......2007-06-10

You can teach 4 year olds to count. You can teach an old dog to fetch. At 45 I thought there was no help for me. I just couldn't change. But this book helped me to learn the skills I needed to get along with myself my family and society. It is dry reading but keep at it and you will find a new person within you.

Great Workbook.......2007-05-19

I have been having trouble controling my emotions my whole life. I was never taught to control my emotions, so it has always been a struggle for me. Following the books guidelines and working one chapter at a time has helped me so much. It has improved my relationship with my boyfriend and given me a happier outlook on life knowing that my emotions are part of me but don't have to be who I am. I highly reccommend it, it's just like doing a workbook for a english or psych class. I also purchased the Self-Esteem Workbook. It's been just as helpful to me as this one.

RELIEF.......2007-02-28

This book is a joy to read. It offers (in simple to understand language) an understanding of your emotions and many tools on how to handle them. I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially if you grew up in a family where your parents had emotional problems and were not able to offer you guidance or validation of your emotions while growing up.

It's a great treasure.....tb

Book Description

With over 800 recipes from 16 countries, Charmaine Solomon's The Complete Asian Cookbook is the perfect introduction to the food of Asia. Charmaine Solomon has tried and tested every recipe, ensuring that they are simple to prepare and that every ingredient and every preparation step are explained in easy-to-follow terms.
This classic cookbook, in print for 30 years, ventures into culinary areas that are often overlooked: the sour-hot dishes of Thailand, the Nonya cooking of Singapore and Malaysia, the soul-warming hotpots of Korea; as well as excitingly different dishes from the lands of Burma, Laos and Cambodia.

A definite keeper - great selection of Asian recipes.......2007-10-05

Charmaine Solomon's The Complete Asian Cookbook is an excellent collection of recipes covering India & Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia & Laos, Vietnam, Philippines, China, Korea, and Japan.

Though by no means comprehensive, the author does try to cover the basic recipes, regional favorites, and offers a variety of curries, noodle dishes, even desserts to satisfy the most picky cook. Some of the recipes here are not really that easy to try out as they require some obscure spices that are hard to find here in the US, but most recipes call for readily available ingredients [thanks to the mushrooming Asian supermarts here].

I would highly recommend this cookbook for those who would like to experiment with different types of dishes offered by the various countries in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Far East.

Almost everything you ever wanted to know about Asian cooking ..........2007-01-19

I got this book after seeing a couple of "Charmaines" at friends' houses. This book has an astonishing range, starting in India/Pakistan and heading all the way to Japan, including pretty much everything in between, including the Phillipines and Malay/Indonesia.

Things I did not like : in order to cover all countries, she of course could not go into a huge amount of depth in all countries ... I would have liked to see more Thai recipes for example. Another thing was that many recipes seemed to be difficult, one can't fault the book on this though, I suppose that's what happens when you cook authentic. I have tried a couple of the more adventurous ones and they came out fantastic, so if you have the time, well worth the effort.

Things I *did* like : the glossary in the back totally rocks! I am an American living in the Netherlands and I regularly travel to Switzerland for work, and here in the Netherlands (and in Switzerland) I get my ingredients at a number of different stores, some chinese, some japanese, many european, and some indonesian. The glossary has the spelling of each ingredient in as many as ten different languages, so it doesn't matter what store you go to, you can find your shrimp paste as kapi or as trassi ... Also there are some very good recipes from countries that I otherwise never would have tried ... one of the burmese curries is really great, and the korean recipes I have tried rock too.

There is also lots of information on how to cook the things right ... what order to add the ingredients, how long to cook the coconut milk before adding the spice paste in order to get the right consistency ...

Bottom line: excellent reference work on ingredients and techniques : wide range of excellent recipes, many of which you would not easily find elsewhere; not for casual cook who wants to make a quick, easy meal ... but detailed enough for an adventurous beginner to find his/her way. Recommended!!!

29 years of cooking heaven.......2006-12-30

I was told about this book in 1976 from English friends living in Indonesia. They swore it was the real thing. We had lived in Sri Lanka in the early 60's and I was desperate to learn some of the dishes (I only had our cook's shorthand recipes and my mother's recollections). I not only learned how to cook from Charmaine (and Julia Child) but over the years saw almost every ingredient finally show up in our San Francisco area. I had the privilege of having a correspondence with Ms. Solomon in the last few years and was able to thank her for opening my eyes and my stomach to heavenly cooking. I have given this book to practically everyone in my family and close friends. It is THE classic Asian cooking source with REAL authentic dishes.
Thanks Charmaine.

Useful but Flawed.......2006-04-15

In spite of the potential value of such an extensive culinary survey, I would suggest that the casual home cook avoid this book. This cookbook is seriously flawed, but I expect that experienced home cooks and professionals to be able to work past the problems. The quality of the recipes vary, but if you are careful about recipe selection, you will get many wonderful oriental meals from this book.

Those who are grounded in European or classic cuisine, or those who know oriental food only from those goofy cooking shows on cable TV will have something of an epiphany with this book. The approach to food, cooking, and flavors are totally different. The food presented here is genuine home cooking, not the cuisine served in the 4 star hotel in the capital city. This book is a good introduction to all of the major Asian cuisines. Despite my reservations over several of the ethnic cuisines presented, you will probably get from this book several reasonably authentic oriental dishes. Also, keep in mind that each country covered is more like an introduction or primer rather than an in depth exposition. Note carefully the copyright dates (1976 and 1992). This means that the recipes and flavors are those that were in vogue 3 decades ago, and that many currently popular dishes are absent. The most valuable feature of this book is the listing of ingredients relevant to each cuisine. Professionals in particular will find this to be invaluable.

The selection of cuisines and recipes is excellent, but the author has done a lousy job of adapting the recipes to the American home kitchen in terms of cooking techniques, specialized equipment and ingredients (this can actually be an advantage, since that tends to make the recipes more authentic). There are several cooking techniques that are foreign to American cooks, and these recipes do require some practice before the home cook can do them correctly (like making sushi by yourself). Some unusual ingredients are not adequately explained (each country has an introduction, plus there is a glossary at the back, but the information tends to be scanty). Some ingredients are hard to obtain except in a major city with a large Asian population or on the internet, and no viable substitutes are listed. The author is Australian, so you will get the occasional odd ingredient (cornflour = cornstarch; instant tofu powder is unusual in the U.S.) and tool (griller = oven broiler). The instructions are often incomplete or slightly flawed, and require the knowledgeable touch of an experienced home cook. Examples: marinades for raw chicken are reused as a dipping sauce without an intermediate cooking step; temperatures for baking or deep frying are never specified; coconut milk is used frequently and several different canned types are available in this country, but the author does not always specify which kinds to use; a tiny pinch of ginger powder can often be substituted for laos powder; brazil or macadamia nuts can usually be substituted for both kemiri and candle nuts; many meat recipes do not specify when meat is done; her information on the keeping quality of fresh tofu does not apply to the product you can get here in the U.S, likewise her comments on the type of fish to buy for sashimi.

India is the most troublesome (and the most sophisticated), in that it requires an extensive battery of mostly whole spices you probably do not have in your pantry (here, I would suggest you fully stock up on all the spices in the entire chapter before attempting any of the recipes). The fish recipes from Sri Lanka were quite good (in true ethnic tradition, any local seafood/fish can be substituted for the varieties specified, but it takes a little culinary knowledge to know how to what to use and where), but you should probably avoid the imitation European cakes and sweets. Indonesia has many good beef recipes, but the flavorings are complex and require a sophisticated battery of spices and ingredients (there were a number of unusual side dishes I want to try, plus many more that made me gag just reading the recipe). Malaysia is kind of a cheat, represented as a clone of Indonesia. Singapore is poorly characterized and gets shortchanged. I enjoyed the simple, peasant cooking from Burma. Thai restaurants and curry mixes are quite popular in my area, and the recipes were quite useful. Cambodia/Laos was new to me and showed promise (having a mild French influence), but the chapter was very short. A similar comment applies to Vietnam. I liked the simple, European-influenced Philippine food (cooks unfamiliar with oriental food should probably start here). Chinese food is very regional, but the individual recipes are not so identified (based on editorial comments by the author, one suspects mainly 4-star hotel, Hong Kong-influenced recipes); the recipes for whole fried fish were especially useful. Korea is short, but has many good beef recipes (plus the kimchee recipe is bogus). Japan has a good variety of typical home dishes.

One particularly irksome failure is the table of contents. It only lists the country, but it does not list the sub-chapters on different types of dishes of that country; you are more or less obligated to page through an entire chapter if you are looking for something specific.

For foodservice professionals, this book is quite a valuable reference. Any chef who is familiar with oriental cooking techniques can put a reasonably authentic asian ethnic dish on a restaurant menu in short order by just reading through the chapter for a particular country.

THE COMPLETE ASIAN COOKBOOK.......2004-07-20

I purchased the original Complete Asian Cookbook in Singapore in 1979, while living in Djakarta! Indonesia. Since I have also lived for many years in Saudi Arabia, I use the cookbook for cooking Middle Eastern as well as Southeast Asian recipes, which our family is very fond of. My copy is ragged, spotted, almost coming apart, but it is my favorite recipe book and it is used weekly. Ms. Solomon has written a great guide and the recipes are simple and easy to use. She has made me an expert at cooking Asian foods.

I am buying copies of this book as gifts for our three sons, and also for a friend to whom I have given many Indonesian recipes. I had unsuccessfully tried to purchase it in the past, and I am delighted to find Amazon.com. Also, I am happy to have read from one of your reviewers that the revised editions are the same as my 1976 copy.

Daren Lamb, Fort Pierce, Florida. Author, Djakarta!, a fiction novel set in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Fool's Challenge, a suspense/intrigue novel about the Middle East. Both books are available through Amazon.com Used/New Books; Personally signed copies are also available.

Good cookbook, but frustratingly poor adaptation for US.......2003-03-03

First off, this is a gorgeous cookbook. It's a large format and very well illustrated. Virtually every recipe includes four pictures: a large picture of the finished dish, and three smaller ones illustrating various steps. A key also grades the recipes on a difficulty scale of 1-3. Few recipes rate above a 1 (easiest).

What I really like about this cookbook, other than its good looks, is the wide variety of stir-fries included. It covers beef, pork, lamb, poultry, seafood, tofu, and vegetable stir-fries; there are stir-fries with noodles, for serving over rice, as salads, or as a stand-alone dish. I think stir-fry is the ultimate quick weeknight meal, and all the choices here could keep you going for weeks without getting bored.

However, there is a problem. This book was originally published in Australia, and very little has been done to adapt it for the US. For instance, bell peppers are called "capsicum," and ramen noodles "instant noodles." I figured out that English spinach means regular spinach, but I'm still not sure about Lebanese cucumbers, or a few other things. A small chart at the back translates the US names of a handful of items, but not enough.

The recipes were developed with metric measurements, and although conversions are given, they tend to come out as awkward odd measurements: 3-1/2 ounces of mushrooms, or 13 ounces of beef.

Also, the book is not consistently written. For instance, although there is a key to stir-fry ingredients at the front of the book, I ran across some things that either were not in the list, or were listed under another name. One recipe called for "Golden Mountain Sauce." I could not find this in the list, until I finally noticed that it was alphabetized under "Seasoning sauce" (gee, why didn't I think to look there?). Buried in the text describing seasoning sauce, it said, "also sold under the name Golden Mountain Sauce."

There were one or two other things I didn't recognize that weren't described in the list, but I suspect this is because they are common Australian terms that didn't translate.

You can also tell that the recipes were written by different people and not edited to appear consistent, as the same techniques are described differently in some recipes; some leave out hints/steps like freezing beef in order to get thin slices; and some specify a cut (usually rump steak for beef--I think this is boneless sirloin?) but some just say "beef."

Bottom line, this book offers enough good things to outweigh the bad, so on balance I do like it. But the bad things just shouldn't be there in the first place. It should have been reworked before publication in the US.

a great variety of recipes, and exotic dishes.......2002-03-13

all of the recipes in this book look wonderful, there are plenty of beautiful pictures to accompany this book. most of the recipes are fairly simple and quick to prepare. the only downfall is that many of the recipes require special ingredients that you might not find at your local grocery store. if this is not a problem for you, then you will enjoy the book. the ideas are great and there is a lot of variety, recipes for all kinds of meats, vegetables and some sea food. it also includes descriptions of ingredients, if you're new to asian foods!

I bought this book as one of four cookbooks I purchased when I was leaving a house that had hundreds of cookbooks to choose from. The book is full of great color photos, easy to follow recipes, a basic "pantry" list, soup, salad, dessert, noodle recipes.

I've made many of the recipes and have been quite happy with all of them!

I'm not sure why they haven't posted the cover picture, it's odd ... I'm looking it up to send to an aquaintance. A sure bet!
