Review Summary: review by author himself
Review: My name is Jason Vale and I am the author of this book. I don't usually look at my own reviews, but decided to take a little look.
I wrote this book some time ago and I have to agree with some of the comments. The recipe names are extremely bad puns and I cringe myself when I look back at them. I have changed them, but that won't be until the next print run. I have never pretended to be the best writer in the world and I write my books with everyone in mind. One comment I don't agree with at all is the one about this book being copied from Leslie Kenton. I think Leslie is a great author of health, but my books and hers are very different. You will notice that I have only given my own book 3 stars. That's because I feel that's all the book is worth at this time and I have written better books since. For the price you really can't go wrong. If the book inspires even just one person to better health then it was worth writing it. As it is the book has sold over 100,000 copies and I know from our postbag it has helped thousands. If you do get this book I hope it inspires like it has for many. For those who didn't like it, I hope my often poor command of the English language, hasn't put you off juicing. Best juicy wishes to all. Jason Vale

Review Summary: excellent choice
Review: This book is invaluable and I have found it so useful. The juice recipes are delicious and this book is the ideal companion to 'Slim 4 Life, Freedom from the trap'. This book helps you to put into practice what you have read in 'Slim 4 Life'.

Review Summary: Copied from Kenton
Review: This book is irritating in the extreme. It is poorly written, has constant bad puns, and is styled in an annoyingly camp fashion.
The recipes are useful, if you can wade through the unfunny jokes, but an index is notably missing.
The worst aspect of this book is that it is so obviously copied directly from Leslie Kenton's excellent writings. Not only that, but Vale has failed to give any credit to Kenton, and indeed, does not even mention her.
In summary, a badly written, mangled copy of a far superior book.
Do yourself a favour, buy Leslie Kenton's 'Raw Energy Bible'.

Review Summary: Bad Pun Master
Review: This book was very useful in terms of content and recipes, but I do agree with another reviewer who felt that an index or quick find system should have been incorporated. This would certainly encourage me to use the book more often.

Review Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This is such a great book. It starts off with what you would expect - juicing is great, look at the benefits etc, etc. Then it goes through each fruit and veg alphabetically, and gives it a thorough going over. What vits, mins and other nutrients are in there and how these chemicals can help in various ways. Not just the usually prevent a cold stuff but with diabetes, high blood pressure etc. Also what's useful is his tips on whether to juice or put in a blender so I've dug my blender out and it sits next to my juicer. The recipes are useful but really you don't need to follow a recipe just bung some fruit and/or veg in. I hate raw carrots but put in with apples, pears, a banana and ginger (all my juices have this in) I can't even tell a carrot's there! It is really worth buying.

Review Summary: Bad Pun Master
Review: This book was very useful in terms of content and recipes, but I do agree with another reviewer who felt that an index or quick find system should have been incorporated. This would certainly encourage me to use the book more often.
The information enclosed is interesting, but I also found that the Juice Master's style of writing quickly became irritating and the poor puns that continued throughout the book detracted from its appeal.
Overall, a useful book but not my type! Great if you can stand the bad jokes, but if not, buy a more conventional recipe book.
