Actual Reviews for Are You a Monster or a Rock Star:

"Everywhere I turn I hear people lecturing that my energy drinks are going to kill me one day. I bought this book expecting to read the same thing, but it turned out to be so much more. It was very refreshing to learn about the topic from an author that did not appear to have an agenda. She wrote about facts. She covers positives as well as negatives about energy drinks. She also writes about intricacies of ingredients and how each affect your body--it's complicated stuff that she makes very easy to understand. Give it a read!" - Joby

"Really interesting and informative. I like that the author doesn't promote energy drinks but if you choose them, know the ingredients that you are putting in your body and how to use them safely. I would highly recommend this book." - Bobbie
