Following are my rankings of the paleo books out there from top to bottom:

1. Drs. Michael and Mary Dan Eades ("The Protein Power Lifeplan") -- A very readable yet scientifically sound plan

2. Tie: Ray Audette ("Neanderthin") and Dr. Ron Rosedale ("The Rosedale Diet) -- Neanderthin is a classic and the quirky Audette is right more often than not.  He will contradict himself at times and is pseudo-scientific.  Rosedale is spot on with his macronutrient recommendations of 15-20% protein and 80-85% fat but slips slightly because of his allowance of grains and dairy.  Plus the leptin conversation is a little strange and leads me to wonder why he doesn't simply stick with insulin

4. Dr. Loren Cordain ("The Paleo Diet") -- Dr. Cordain is a very serious scientist who has done a lot to shake up the nutritional community with his solid work.  Problem is he allows entirely too much cheating and relies too strongly on protein and carbohydrates

5. Dr. Barry Sears ("The Zone") -- Good science, good recommendations for athletes.  Problem is the "zone" doesn't actually exist, or rather it's open on one side.  The body CAN thrive on zero carbohydrates.  And he seems to ignore the negative health impact of grains and dairy
