Letters to a Young Brother: MANifest Your Destiny76 reviews
Hill Harper

Gotham, 2007

This One Is OUTSTANDING!!!!
Hill Harper has given us a rare gem. This book should be "required" reading for all young men. I gave it as gifts to my nephew and my cousin. I also encouraged a co-worker to read it and she's preparing to give it to her son and other young men. It's an "easy read". The letters and advice given are poignant, timely, educational and insightful. Down to earth, excellent advice for growing up ...
  
  











  



  
Watch You Bleed: The Saga of Guns N' Roses3 reviews
Stephen Davis

Gotham, 2008

Highly readable, but it's no The Dirt
First of all, I'm not a die-hard Guns n Roses fan. For those who, like the gentleman below, already know a ton about the band, I suspect this volume will add little to their understanding of the Guns for the simple reason that the book seems written mostly from library research, footage and interviews that were already out there along with original interviews with ancillary characters. There is ...
  
  











  



  
The Art of the Short Game: Tour-Tested Secrets for Getting Up and Down26 reviews
Stan Utley, Matthew Rudy

Gotham, 2007

Great treatise on the chipping, pitching and sand shots
After reading Stan Utley's "The Art of Putting," I spent four months retooling my putting approach to great effect. I was really anxious to read his ideas about short game shot-making in this book. After four weeks of absorbing and practicing his ideas in this great little book, I'm a bigger Utley fan than ever. He explains his short game ideas very clearly and concisely here. As in his first ...
  
  











  



  
The House of Mondavi: The Rise and Fall of an American Wine Dynasty57 reviews
Julia Flynn Siler

Gotham, 2008

Family dynamics for all to see
An interesting in-depth review of a famous family, from success to downfall. This book navigates the ascendacy of this dynasty to the top of the California wine industry, hindered by the breakdown of personal relations and the final fiasco of the business. Sad, but fascinating.

Details Men's StyleManual: The Ultimate Guide for Making Your Clothes Work for You19 reviews
Daniel Peres, the editors of Details magazine

Gotham, 2007

Good ideas and thoughtful touches
I agree with the other reviewers that this is a great guide for young men who are trying to learn to dress nicely, perhaps for the first time in their lives. I keep it on my dresser and find myself referring to it frequently. My favorite feature of the book is that for each basic piece (white dress shirt, gray trousers, navy blazer, etc.), it shows several ideas for what else to wear, to dress ...

You're Broke Because You Want to Be: How to Stop Getting By and Start Getting Ahead78 reviews
Larry Winget

Gotham, 2007

You're broke because you want to be.
This book is great for those who don't want any fluff and sympathy. My debt was caused mainly because of 9/11 and the affect it had on my business, as I lost most of my small business customers almost overnight. Its been difficult to not only rebuild my business, but still keep my head above water to pay my creditors. Larry gives you easy homework, I've read the book completely, and knowing what ...
  
  











  



  
Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation540 reviews
Lynne Truss

Gotham, 2006

An ode to an endangered species: Punctuation
This book is not a grammar or style guide. This is rather a book by someone who is passionate about language, in general, and punctuation, in particular. If you see a signboard of a shop advertising "CD's, Video's, DVD's, and Book's", and if you see another one declaring "No Dogs Please" and both of them trouble you immensely, then this book is for you. Such grammatical errors have troubled me ...
  
  











  



  
Do You!: 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success58 reviews
Russell Simmons, Chris Morrow

Gotham, 2008

Crosses all lines...
Wow! This book is all about feeling good inside. I am 50 years old and already make a very high income from my day job and play jazz at night. I know almost nothing about Hip Hop, am white and grew up in the suburbs. I had never even heard of Russell Simmons. I was not sure if this book would touch me in the right way because I assumed it was "exclusively" for the young, urban,hip hop crowd. I ...
  
  











  



  
Letters to a Young Sister: DeFINE Your Destiny11 reviews
Hill Harper

Gotham, 2008

A Marvelous Effort! It shows What is Right with all who have asked: What is Wrong?
After purchasing Mr. Harper's earlier work, Letters to a Young Brother, I eagerly anticipated Letters to a Young Sister. Upon viewing it (prior to giving it to my teenaged daughter), I was not disappointed with the contents. It comes with one hundred pages more and almost twice as much stimulating advice for budding young ladies. All young girls will appreciate the introduction to the book ...

The Art of Putting: The Revolutionary Feel-Based System for Improving Your Score29 reviews
Stan Utley, Matthew Rudy

Gotham, 2006

Simple, natural and powerful!
First off, I am a 3 handicap that is working hard at trying to get to a 0. My biggest struggle was with my short game, my pitching was decent at best, chipping was pretty steady, but my putting was awful. I was averaging about 33-34 putts per round. I attempted to read both Pelz books but found them extremely dry, poorly written and the methods didn't do anything for me. After reading this ...
  
  











  



  
It's Called Wo for a Reason!: Your Success Is Your Own Damn Fault61 reviews
Larry Winget

Gotham, 2007

Larry is like a recording of me!!!
I have three of Larry's books. This guy is telling folks the very same things I have said all my life. I later went out and bought 40 copies of the three books I have read so when my friends start their whining I just hand them a copy and tell them to go read it. Maybe they have short term memory issues when I tell them so here is a copy of the same stuff I have preached about for years. ...
  
  











  



  
How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else107 reviews
Michael Gates Gill

Gotham, 2007

Good read if you can get past the Starbucks marketing and are not judgemental
I finished this book in one sitting because I was just so eager to experience the author's journey of picking himself up from rock-bottom. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the overwhelming Starbucks mention but was able to get past it because I have heard that it is a really good company to work for, and from personal experience have really come to appreciate the value of being in a ...
  
  











  



  
Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper85 reviews
Diablo Cody

Gotham, 2006

A great read!
I loved this book! Not only was it hilarious, it also gave an interesting look into a world I knew nothing about. I laughed out loud at many parts of this book--Cody is truly talented at getting humor on paper! I have passed this book on to others, both men and women, and they have all also enjoyed it. Highly recommended for summer reading!

The Pocket Stylist: Behind-the-Scenes Expertise from a Fashion Pro on Creating Your Own Look99 reviews
Kendall Farr

Gotham, 2004

Wonderful!
This terrific book changed the way I think about clothing fit, and what I should be wearing and buying. It's the most useful fashion/clothing book I own, and probably a good purchase for many women. The ideas are timeless, but still immediately applicable for a variety of women, budgets, sizes, and style preferences. I highly recommend it. I had come to Amazon just to buy the Lucky shopping ...
