Review:Knowing only that this book was a classic, I purchased it for my middle school son. I read it myself upon learning that it was about a boy who died of an aggressive brain tumor, since my family is struggling with the exact illness in one of our members. I was struck by the absolute tragedy of how this brilliant child was killed by a disease targeting the very source of what made him so unique. Being familiar with the current therapies, I was also somewhat amazed to learn that there has been al... Read more

Review:I started reading this book with great excitement as I often wonder about what impact technology is having on me. The book is basically divided into two parts, one talks about human robot interaction and the other humans and net/phone interaction. The are pages after pages of descriptions of what children think of interaction with robots and there are tons of descriptions of how teenagers use Facebook and texting. I don't think the author needs to list every single interview she ever conducted t... Read more

Review:This book was recommended as something "all women of all sizes" should read on a blog I follow. The amazon description also implies that it's a self-love promoting book for everyone. Within the first few chapters, it becomes apparent that the target audience is obese women, not "women of all sizes" and there's next to nothing in it for women of a not-obese size who have body image issues. Around the entire chapter yelling at me that obese women are often healthier than "skinny" women, which ju... Read more

Review:A very repetitive book that turns around its title.
Good content, short, and yet, not short enough because the book itself does not bring anything to its title.
It makes me wonder why write a book.
I guess it's good as a gift as we cannot really give a mere sentence as a gift! Read more

Review:Whether you're into mindset, politics, or media/marketing, you'll enjoy this book. There's so much value to get from this book and it will truly enrich your knowledge base.

The parts that added the most value for me though were the mindset and media/marketing parts. I've been following following Mike at dangerandplay ever since the beginning of this year and he's always delivered value no matter what. This book is a continuation of that.

In MAGA mindset, Mike reveals more about the... Read more

Review:Tired of thinking and feeling old? Get a grip and buy this book. You don't have to be 60 and be the new 40, instead YOU ARE THE NEW 60!!! I love this lady's thinking. I want to be happy with where I am and create the new future for us all. Stop trying to be who you aren't or who you were, instead embrace today!!! Buy it. Read it. Ginger/Chicago Read more

Review:I learned so much about death and dying from this wonderful book. These nurses really know what they are talking about and have the experience to back it up. I see the process so differently now...they are different ways to understand what dying people are saying. They are not necessarily delusional, they are expressing themselves in a symbolic way. It is a language that can be learned. Read it NOW for you will someday be in a place to need this information. Read more

Review:Probably the best thing I learned from this book is just how much the female brain is constantly changing. I feel like I understand what is going on in my mind (and those of other women) so much better now, and what has been happening thus far in my life.
The author organizes the book very well, starting at the beginning of life and going through to post-menopause, and she explains her findings very clearly. The only "minus," in my opinion, is that she takes an evolutionary viewpoint, which d... Read more

Review:This was interesting but was not what i expected from the title. I have never read any books by Kidd but she was recommended by serveral people. I think that women who are in an oppressive state in their own faith communities can benefit from this book. It looks at why we allow oppression. There were pearls in the book that i will take with me, but the last section left me a little so so. Her journey leads to a spiritual status that seems to leave off everything but herself. Like it is all... Read more

Review:This book is exactly what a memoir should be. Solzhenitsyn puts you right in the center of the action, with scenes so vividly sketched that I had nightmares I was in the Gulag myself. This is a good book for any of your friends or loved ones who have recently become enamored with Marxism. It's definitely the "Scared Straight" of the prose world. Read more
