Average Rating: 
Rating: - The Mediterranean Diet
The book was informative, I only wish the print was a little larger.
I was able to understand the principles of the diet. Some of the recipes were tried, and enjoyed.
Rating: - Not Faithfully Mediterranean Or Weight-Losing
After the title of The Mediterranean Diet, is a subtitle that says "lose weight and feel great with one of the world's healthiest diets". A word of warning.

Rating: - Good, with some reservations
If you are looking for a book written specifically for losing weight, this is not the book for you.(There is one chapter on losing weight.) If you are looking for a book to help you determine the best diet for good health, this is the book for you.

Very well organized

Very detailed

Cons:

Rating:  - buy only if you like to read about nutrition
This is a review of the paperback version of this book. Author is a registered dietician. Basic recipes are a small part of the book.
If you've never heard of the components of the Mediterranean way of eating and are interested in basic nutrition, you might like this reading. If you are interested in cooking, search for a cookbook.
Rating:  - So-So
You can pick up a few good nutrition ideas here, and maybe one or two good recipes: but the pickings here are slim, in both areas. This book is not a complete waste of money, and it's not terrific either: just so-so, any way you slice it.
