I had no idea that caffeine was soooo dangerous!
I just wanted to share my views on this great book. I had no idea that caffeine was so dangerous and that my seemingly innocent morning cup of coffee was really harming me! I started drinking coffee when I was in high school and at the time it was kind of like a rite of passage into adulthood. My parents didn't see anything wrong with it. Later on, the coffee, sodas, and candy I ate in college ...

About to be a Major Motion Picture
This is absolutely one of my all-time favorite novels. It has it all -- the glitz, as well as the seedy underside, of Hollywood; international intrigue; drug smuggling; Mafiaso; a serial killer on the loose; blood and gutts (in the operating room and out); life, death, love, sex, and boobjobs. And it's so incredibly well written. So I'm really excited to find this novel is finally being made ...

Rushing to Deceive
As political parties become more polarized and the country grows increasingly divided on basic issues, each "side" sinking to levels of name calling and negative emotional appeal never seen before, two characteristic groups have emerged: those who think Rush Limbaugh is akin to a political genius, and those who want to tear their hair out every time they hear his voice. For anyone who has ever ...

Entertaining, extremely interesting, highly informative.
Convoluted stories of master criminals whose devious and clever schemes hoodwinked people for centuries. Sounds like a good plot for a novel, but it also accurately describes those 'stranger than fiction' types of stories to be found in Rosenblum's book. Focusing on literary forgeries, he enlightens us to both the motives and the methods used by nine talented if devious men: George ...

Don't pass up - this is a 7+
Don't pass up this series just because it features an investment broker and an IRS agent. This series is far from boring. It is fast paced, humorous and has a mystery which will keep you guessing until the end. In my opinion Malinda Terreri's Maggie Connors is running strong for 1st place over Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series (especially over Evanovich's last couple of books). If you ...

Unpopular Essays: The Neocon/AIPAC Spy Scandal In the past couple of years, I have contributed essays to a few internet sites regarding what I call the three leaf clover of scandals: the Plame, the neocon/AIPAC spy, and the Niger document forgery scandals. These closely related crimes, which are largely ignored by the "mainstream" corporate media, are among the root causes of the United States ...

How to interpret test results better than your Doc!
This is a very clearly written book. It demonstrates many numerical errors the press, the public, and experts make in interpreting the accuracy of medical screening test (mammography, HIV test, etc...) and figuring out the probability of an accused person being guilty. At the foundation of the above confusions lies the interpretation of Baye's rule. Taking one example on page 45 regarding ...

If you can find this - GET IT - for your own protection!
Few other books shed as much light as this does on the deliberate attempts by industry, government, and professionals to use technobabble to confuse and distract "Joe and Jane Average" from the truth. If you want to be a smart consumer, and avoid being suckered by ANYBODY, this is an essential book to have in your possession. Paired with books such as "Influence" by Cialdini, and ...

Must read for any business manager or business analyst
If you are looking for the "Get Rich Quick" scheme or "Key to Business Success", this book is NOT for you as the author offered none of this. What he offered is far more useful and practical than any business books you would read or may have read. Rosensweig helped us to see falsehood and delusions common in our daily business "analytic", from investment reports to the thousands of business ...

An eye opening book which aroused my interest in the whole field
It is a book that made me sacrifice my sleep time. I spent just a weekend to finish it. Easy to read to a laymen, with lots of examples and explanations. No wonder it is a bestseller. The book reveals the dark side of the pharmaceutical industry. The book is filled with arguments and viewpoints, supported with facts. As such, it presents its side of the story. Though some viewpoints may be too ...

Holland Taylor tries to recover the entire life savings of a little old lady who was defrauded by her investment advisor. kept me guessing throughout
