Every American should read
My name is Matthew Hutcheson. I'm an independent pension fiduciary, and have studied retirement plan economics for over fifteen years. Every American worker with a 401(k) (or a 403(b)/457 for that matter) should put this book on the top of their reading list. The information contained in this book could be worth many thousands of extra retirement dollars to you down the road. Mr. Loeper ...

A favorite
This is one of my favorite books! I do believe in the law of attraction. That if you think positive that positive things will happen to you. It does help when you know what you want, and strive to get what you want. But I do have a hard time believing things like natural disasters and health can be controlled. I have recommended this book to a lot of people, and will continue to do so. It ...

Thought-Provoking Sequel
How did Paul Muad'Dib go from powerful, idealistic hero-turned-emperor at the end of Dune to disillusioned demigod at the beginning of Dune Messiah? This book explores that process against a backdrop of the jihad that Paul himself unleashed. Engrossing and insightful, this is one of the best novels in the Dune Saga.

One of ARS best
I have read all of ARS books, starting with Downtown about 15 years ago. What I want to know is who the writers of the other reviews have been reading? Off Season was a trip back to Mrs. Siddons original style of writing. All of her books have an ending that leave you wondering and using your imagination to fill in the blanks (Peachtree Road, Colony, & The House Next Door to name a few). As ...

A Modern Greek Tragedy
"The snow in the mountains was melting and Bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our situation. He'd been dead for ten days before they found him, you know. It was one of the biggest manhunts in Vermont history -- state troopers, the FBI, even an army helicopter; the college closed, the dye factory in Hampden had shut down, people coming from New ...

Must read for the 'Haves' in this country
I have to admit, I grew up as person of privilege. I am from a large home in suburbia and drove a Mercedes SUV to high school every day. I was always taught to appreciate the things you have, and how lucky I am. Being born into wealth doesn't take talent, it takes luck. Even being born in the United States alone takes luck, you only had a 5% chance of being born here. This book reaffirmed my ...

Amazing! Funny, plus he's easy on the eyes
Kevin takes a very boring subject matter and makes it interesting and humerous. Also, he got me fired up to get my credit report and start building my way towards wealth. God bless him for sharing all his knowledge with the rest of us. It is a very easy read and extremely enlightening to this common citizen.

Lots of Fun!
The spirit of this book is well exemplified by a quotation from Mark Twain (Page xv): "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the tide winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." So, the author advances a listing of places throughout the world worth discovering. ...

Not for the wimpy mided
Kevin Trudeau may well be as much all about the money as he blames the whole world, have crime records, and more. Yet, people still have to listen to him. Most people in America are very negligent about their obesity and diet despite the epidemics of cancer and more diseases. Everybody has known at least a person with a severe disease, such as diabetes, we all know that the canned and boxed food ...

This book is revolutionary! How often do we hear how to make sex with your spouse sexy? It is an interesting and easy read. Doug is a great writer. The best thing about the book was reading about the emotional intimacy that the couple was able to achieve during and after their 101 days.

Fifteen Years of Extreme Hacking on the Edge, Under-Priced!
I am attending Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) in NYC this week-end, and have just spent time with this volume. Unlike the individual issues, all of which I have had in my possession over the years, this volume is HUGE, readable, indexed, and priceless. I mean that--PRICELESS. The publisher is to be saluted for not only putting a great deal of effort along with the editor, the founder of 2600 ...

The series truly begins.
I love Prisoner of Azkaban. I think that this was the novel that really hooked me into the series. I have a hard time writing a literary review of any of the Rowling novels mainly because I do not feel like I'm reading a novel when I read these books, I feel like I'm on vacation. I'm transported into another world and forget to look at the subtext or deeply analyze anything that the writer is ...

A brand new me!
I am very surprised by all those here in search of a magic bullet. Don't you realize there isn't one! I have read Dr. Simeon's original manuscript and I am currently taking HCG that I received from a licensed physician. IT WORKS! I feel great! I have lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks. I've got 3 weeks to go. I would also recommend that those interested purchase the book titled "HCG Weight Loss Cure ...
