(Sherlock Holmes - The Detective Guru)
『Sherlock Holmes has long been a favorite of mine. Nothing's changed. He still is. Excellent book, both in contents and appearance.』

(I love this stuff!)
『Classic! I'm very glad to own this book in it's Kindle edition and for a very reasonable price too, $0.00!
There is not anything that I could write that hasn't been written before about Mr. Holmes and his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. These stories are timeless, they are indeed short stories and may be read quickly in one sitting, and, for me, be read again and again.
While reading these stories I can't help but see and hear Jeremy Brett, the ultimate and best Holmes of any visual media. Ever! The mannerisms of Holmes as written by Doyle, as well as much of the dialog, are transferred accurately and brilliantly to the small screen by Brett, the BBC, and PBS. I also recommend this series on DVD for any and all Holmes fans.
Not to forget "The Return of Sherlock Holmes," also priced reasonably on Kindle at $0.00.』

(Holes)
『Super when I am on an airplane and have forgotten to turn on the wireless to pick up new books. Doyle never ceases to amaze and provide entertainment. I think I started reading Holmes in the 60s (early 60s) and have yet to stop. Good emergency book to have if you have a Kindle and enjoy deductive reasoning. easons to get it are elementary my dear reader!』

(Technical glitches in this Kindle edition)
『All of the numeric entries in the text are garbled, so if you don't care whether they're referring to 20 pounds or 3000, you'll be fine. of course it's a free download, so I'm not complaining.』

(Great Britian's Nineteenth Century History)
『English history is served up along with the amazing mystery stories. I enjoy the pictures of daily life...the maid bringing in lunch to Holmes on a pre-arranged schedule, passing the street vendors and beggars, imagining the opium den frequented by addicts, vivid descriptions of period clothing, transportation and commerce slipped seamlessly into the tales. I read this often to refresh the imagery in my mind.』
『First published in 1891-1892, stories read include "The Red-Headed League," "The Man With the Twisted Lip," "The Five Orange Pips," "The Notable Bachelor," "A Scandal in Bohemia," and "The Engineer's Thumb." 7 cassettes.』

(A shorter version of a classic!)
『This particular edition is a children's version of Pride and Prejudice, not the true book: it is geared for readers age 9-12 and is only 48 pages long.A good way to intruduce youger kids to a classic and more loved by girls then boys in my opinion.

(great book bad digital edition)
『great book of course for any jane austin fan. this review is more for this kindle edition. i decided to buy the one dollar version after a few chapters because i do not like the repetitive use of dialog in all caps. it makes me imagine too much yelling. granted i do not know whether miss austin wrote it that way or the scribes of this digital book did. i just know i do not like it. if you are like me or unsure just get the sample first.』

(It is a truth universally acknowledged...)
『"Pride and Prejudice" is undoubtedly one of the most beloved classic novels in history -- it's had countless adaptations, sequels and homages lavished on it over the years.

And Jane Austen's grand opus is still beloved for a good reason. While it's rather stuffily written much of the time, it has a vibrant core of witty dialogue and strong characters that shine like lanterns in the night -- and the best part of it is the interplay between the two strong-willed main characters, whose initial dislike of one another blossoms into love once they learn how to overcome his pride and her prejudice.

The Bennett family is in an uproar when wealthy Mr. Bingley moves into the neighborhood, and Mrs. Bennett is especially happy when he takes a liking to the eldest Bennett daughter Jane -- since their estate is entailed and there is no Mr. Bennett Jr., a good marriage is considered essential for at least one of the girls. But her forthright, independent sister Lizzie immediately butts heads with wealthy, aloof Mr. Darcy, who scorns the rural village and seems haughty about everything.

A flurry of proposals, road trips and friendships happen over the course of the following months, with Lizzie fending off her slimy cousin Mr. Collins, and befriending the flirty, hunky Wickham, who claims to have been wronged by Darcy. Lizzie believes Wickham's account -- and she's in for a shock when Darcy unexpectedly proposes, and reveals what Wickham won't tell her about both of their past lives, and what Wickham did to offend Darcy.

And finally things take a scandalous turn when Lizzie's idiotic younger sister Lydia elopes with Wickham, while staying with a friend in Brighton. The family is plunged into disgrace, which also wrecks any chances of a halfway decent marriage for the other daughters. The only one who can set things right is Darcy, who will do whatever he must to make amends to Lizzie -- and unwittingly establish himself as the man she loves as well...

Reading "Pride and Prejudice" is a bit like watching someone embroider a piece of cloth with subtle, intricate designs. Lots of balls, dances, visits and drawing room banter between Lizzie and virtually everyone else, and interwoven with some rather opinions from Jane Austen about haughty aristocrats, marriages of security, entailment, and the whole idea of what an ideal woman has (intellect and strength).

The only real problem: Jane Austen writes very much in the style of her literary era -- it's rather formal and stuffy much of the time, and the narrative is kept distant from the characters. So, not for casual readers.

But despite that formality, Austen's brilliance as a writer is evident -- she slowly unfolds the plot one act at a time, with several intricate subplots that tie together and play off each other. She also wrote some unbelievably sharp-edged dialogue with plenty of witty banter between Lizzie and Darcy ("I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine"). But Austen also weaves in startlingly romantic moments between them ("No one admitted to the privilege of hearing you, can think anything wanting").

It's hard to imagine a better fictional couple than Lizzie and Darcy, despite their rocky start (a major-league snub at a dance). Both are witty, smart, and a bit snotty in their own ways, with quick minds and even quicker tongues. Darcy is a selfish, rather haughty man man who gradually becomes warm and kind, while Lizzie is strong, independent, and Darcy's equal in every way. And neither will marry for anything but true love.

It also has a solid supporting cast: the painfully practical Charlotte Lucas, slimy clerics, virtuous-looking rakes, sisters ranging from saintly to snobby, and the lovable Mr. Bingley and perpetually optimistic Jane. Lizzie's family also adds plenty of color to the story, including the screechy and hilariously mercurial Mrs. Bennett and the barb-tongued Mr. Bennett ("Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do").

Despite its mildly stuffy style, "Pride and Prejudice" is the ultimate Jane Austen novel -- a powerful and romantic story about two people who grow and change because of love. An absolute must-read.』

(Very disappointed in the recording)
『I purchased this recording (read by Lindsay Duncan) through the iTunes store (something I will not be doing again), on the understanding that it was an unabridged recording. This is one of my favorite books, and I know it well enough to realize when sentences are being left out, which happened in several places (I did double-check with my print edition). At least one of the omitted sentences was important for understanding the characters.

The other quibble I have is that the recording I purchased consisted of two SIX HOUR tracks. Heaven help you if you lose your place while using an mp3 player.

I cannot dis-recommend this recording enough.』

(PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen)
『It is beneficial at times to step away from our classics of literature from time to time, to take them down from their high pedestals and look at them without pretension. No novel, no matter how well-regarded, is universally esteemed - Twain, Emerson, and Charlotte Bronte all savaged Pride and Prejudice in print - so let us, for a few moments, stop treating it as holy writ and just look at it as a novel, at how it holds up to a modern casual reader.

Pride and Prejudice (1813) is Jane Austen's novel of manners - it thoroughly explores the ins, outs and economics of nineteenth-century courtship. The novel's central character is Elizabeth Bennet, one of five daughters, whose family lives in a country village. Two wealthy, eligible bachelors move to town, and romance, confusion and animosity ensue.

Austen populates her novel with all manner of flawed characters. Many of them are annoying - that is, they behave badly and are antagonistic toward the main characters - but they all show at least some depth. No one here is without flaw, but no one here is without virtue, either (except Mr. Collins, the most ludicrous of them all). And this is why the novel works: because Austen treats her characters and their social milieu gently, delicately (well, except Mr. Collins). If she had done otherwise, if she had been more cutting, she would have lost the sympathy in the reader that many of these characters engender.

To the modern audience, Austen's plotting is rather sluggish, although it must be recalled that novels moved at a rather more leisurely pace then. At any rate it often seems that there is one too many side plots, or perhaps one too many visits to relatives, and there are patches that can be quite hard to get through. But you don't go to Austen for plot - you go to her for clever dialogue, for a delightful turn of phrase. That is what she thrives at, and that is what she is best remembered for. And in spite of the novel's overlength, Austen delivers a full and completely satisfying payoff. Rarely is a happy ending so fulfilling, and it may not be until the last few pages of the book that it becomes evident to the reader how masterfully Austen has set it up. And this is a large reason why the novel has such enduring appeal.

Much of the nuance in Pride and Prejudice may be lost on casual modern readers. For example, the character of Mrs. Bennet is the object of great scorn from many readers, and this has only been exacerbated by the film adaptations of the novel. But while marrying for love is the norm today, then, it was not; Mrs. Bennet is the only one looking out for the Bennet family's financial future.

Pride and Prejudice is, on the whole, a satisfactory and clever novel, and, at present, one whose merits are diminished mostly by readers too far removed to understand it in its fullness, or whose tastes have diverged too far.』
『Austen's best-known and best-loved novel is a brilliant tour de force of the economics of love in an 18th century English village. Her main concerns were those of universal fascination today--love and money. Spirited Elizabeth Bennet is one of a family of five daughters. With no male heir, the Bennet estate will someday pass to their priggish cousin Collins. Therefore, the girls must marry well--and the arrogant bachelor Mr. Darcy is Elizabeth's elusive match. 4 cassettes.』
『In a remote Hertfordshire village, far off the good coach roads of George III's England, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet -- a country squire of no great means and his scatterbrained wife -- must marry off their five vivacious daughters. At the heart of this all-consuming enterprise are the headstrong second daughter Elizabeth and her aristocratic suitor Fitzwilliam Darcy, two lovers in whom pride and prejudice must be overcome before love can bring the novel to its magnificent conclusion.』

(Olive Kitteridge)
『I loved this book. Olive has many dimensions as a human, like all of us she can do the right thing or react badly and do the wrong. Elizabeth Strout has captured what "Being Human" is all about.』

(Olive Kitteridge)
『An interesting collection of characters, but all sad. The writing and character development make this a good, but depressing, read.』

(olive kittridge)
『This Book kept me interested and it had very good insights into small town Main life but I swear I was beginning to think Olive was bipolar or something. And I also did not like the political smart ass comments.





』

(Surprisingly bitter main character)
『I picked up this book in part because it won a Pulitzer, but I was disappointed. The main character, Olive Kitteridge, is a tense, often-angry woman with no ability to self-censor her thoughts. While main characters need not be perfect, I never really got to like her, though she grows more sympathetic as she grows older. She lacks humor, making it even more puzzling that Strout would choose someone so basically unlikeable as the focus of these stories. Also, while all the stories supposedly have Olive as some sort of focal point, or give her relevance, two only mention her by name, and those stories seem not connected at all to the town of Crosby, Maine, where most of the action takes place. Finally, Olive's slams at former president GW Bush as a "moron" and as someone who looks "retarded" did nothing to further endear her to me, though it probably did some members of the Pulitzer committee. Her bona fides as someone sassy and opinionated were already well-documented; sticking in her political opinions seemed tacked on and irrelevant. What was the point? Three stars for Strout's excellent writing, though.
[...]』

(Olive; An Everywoman.)
『I just loved this book. I can see why it won the Pulitzer. Strout so beautifully shows the many conditions of the human heart, including its pain and its joy.

A collection of short stories, Olive Kitteridge is a large woman in more than one way--thought, word and physical being in her small Maine town of Crosby. While Olive usually makes at least a brief appearance in every story, many of the stories are about her specifically and her life.

Some of the stories are sad, some funny, some heartbreaking all truthful. They are about life, death, aging and disappointment. Like Shakespeare, Elizabeth Strout seems to be able to encompass it all in this beautifully written, slim book. Excellent reading, and hard to put down. I loved it.』
『At the edge of the continent, Crosby, Maine, may seem like nowhere, but seen through this brilliant writer’s eyes, it’s in essence the whole world, and the lives that are lived there are filled with all of the grand human drama - desire, despair, jealousy, hope, and love.

At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town and in the world at large, but she doesn’t always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has lost the will to live; Olive’s own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband, Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.

As the townspeople grapple with their problems, mild and dire, Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life– sometimes painfully, but always with ruthless honesty. Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition - its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires.

(Exemplary life of a modern hero or how respect and care open all doors)
『This is an account from 1993 to 2003 of Greg Mortenson an American climber that after failing to make the K-2 misses his path back and arrives to the small village of Korphe and how he fulfils the promise to the local leader to build a school in his village in Northern Pakistan. The story itself is vibrant and full of stumbling stones and shows how Mr Mortenson manages to go around all of them during a 3 year span and builds the school. He becomes so engaged by the first promise that ever since this has become his mission in life.

This story makes the book already worth reading. Mortenson is a rela hero not only succeding but also going endless strain to achieve it. Additionally it gives a very good insight in the lives and costumes of people in those remote areas of the world and shows their necessities as persons(decent schools, health systems, potable water).

The most interesting aspect probably is how the book breaks with many of the prejudices we might have on Muslims and the way they relate to other people. Greg Mortenson with respect and interest manages to get the support of religious leaders in the area that support his endeavours by educating children to improve the live of these impoverished areas. All this takes makes a very interesting turn when the war on Afghanistan starts after 9/11 and Mortenson experiences how locals see the West with suspicion but keep supporting his initiative.

Mortenson results showing that schools, especially for girls, will improve the life of the region breaking a circle of ignorance in the Karakoram; his actions and attitude are more enriching than the vast majority of motivation books.

The narration with many interviews and quotations of the main characters is lively, direct and touching keeping you tight to the book. The fact that the first thing that Mortenson does when he meets coauthor David Relin is handing out a list of dozens of people that he characterizes as his enemies underlines the credibility to this man and the story.
』

(Inspiring)
『This book tells a remarkable true story of one man's effort to accomplish something good in an area of the world where there is so much suffering from so many heart-breaking problems. His Central Asian Institute stays steadfast in its purpse: to build schools for the children in Afganistan and Pakistan. Greg Mortenson doesn't just talk it--he does it.』

(Very inspiring!)
『I randomly bought this book to read on vacation and was hooked after the first few minutes! It is very inspiring and has opened my eyes. It has changed my thinking that most people think only about themselves and don't care about others. That is clearly not the case here. I am inspired to help in so many ways. I'm so glad I found this book.』

(A Model for Peace)
『I wish I could afford to send a copy of this book to every person in our government who deals with Middle Eastern affairs, especially those involved in military decisions. This is required reading for everyone!』

(Required Reading)
『This book should be required reading for U.S. Citizens and you should not be allowed into a voting booth if you haven't read it. If you read only one book on foreign policy in the next five years. This is it!!!』
『The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the Taliban’s backyard

Anyone who despairs of the individual’s power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan’s treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson’s quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans,Three Cups of Teacombines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.』

Recommend it.』

I received This new book in perfect condition and in a timely manner.』

『I bought this book for my two grandchildren. They are a boy 5 and a girl 6. They saw the movie first and they love to read the book. My grandson is a "Wild Thing" himself.』

(Where the wild things are)
『This was a gift for my grand daughter. I have not seen the book myself but my daughter says her baby girl loves it.』

(Where the Wild Things Are by Destiny)
『
I love how Maurice Senak turned Max's room into a forest that he roamed out of and discovered the Wild Things. The best thing that I loved is how they had their rumpus with Max being the King of the Wild Things. Mr. Sendak was brilliant how he made the end of the book, when Max smelled his dinner and came back to his room. Lastly, I thought it was a good idea how Mr. Sendak made Max sail across months, days, and years! I love that book!
』
『

In the forty years since Max first cried "Let the wild rumpus start," Maurice Sendak's classic picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time. Now, in celebration of this special anniversary, introduce a new generation to Max's imaginative journey to where the wild things are.

『Where the Wild Things Areis one of those truly rare books that can be enjoyed equally by a child and a grown-up. If you disagree, then it's been too long since you've attended a wild rumpus. Max dons his wolf suit in pursuit of some mischief and gets sent to bed without supper. Fortuitously, a forest grows in his room, allowing his wild rampage to continue unimpaired. Sendak's color illustrations (perhaps his finest) are beautiful, and each turn of the page brings the discovery of a new wonder.

The wild things--with their mismatched parts and giant eyes--manage somehow to be scary-looking without ever really being scary; at times they're downright hilarious. Sendak's defiantly run-on sentences--one of his trademarks--lend the perfect touch of stream of consciousness to the tale, which floats between the land of dreams and a child's imagination.

This Sendak classic is more fun than you've ever had in a wolf suit, and it manages to reaffirm the notion that there's no place like home.』

(Enough pieces of sand and you have a Sandbox!)
『Tipping Point is a quick read that illustrates in dramatic fashion how small movements in society become a full blown trend. I have used the term "Tipping Point" in business as success is gained in methodical steps.

Brett Vanderwater, MBA, CIA, CMA, CTP』

(Savor these chapters!)
『Do you need to read this book in order to be successful in life or business? Probably not.

However, this is a book that I purposely read slowly, one chapter at a time, because I would find myself thinking about the case studies and the principles that Gladwell used. Especially interesting was the classification of people into connectors, mavens, and salespeople. We all know them--that chapter will make you think about your sister, your best friend, or your neighbor with a better understanding.

I would highly recommend this book. It will keep your brain running and turning well after the book goes back on the shelf. You will also look smarter at cocktail parties after bringing up some of the theories in this book; that's never a bad thing.』

(Maybe Gladwell's Best to Date?)
『I'd read Gladwell's "Blink" awhile ago, then "Outliers" and thoroughly enjoyed both. Somehow I'd missed "The Tipping Point" until recently, when at the recommendation of a friend I listened to it on audiobook. This is a fascinating book about how trends happen. Malcolm Gladwell has an easily accessible way of communicating social science and group psychology by using compelling, relevant examples that make the reader want to know more. Really interesting examination of "tipping" that occurs sometimes with intent and others, simply resulting from a sequence of events. - Review from the award-winning author of Your Present: A Half-Hour of Peace: A Guided Imagery Meditation for Physical&Spiritual Wellness』

(Eye-Opening, Interesting, Revealing, and Fun)
『Simply put, Malcolm Gladwell's "The Tipping Point" is a fantastic book. Widely heralded as a rare and "game changing" book, what Gladwell elegantly offers readers is an interesting set of stories that serve as allegories to a set of powerful, and eye-opening, ideas. These ideas, conveyed regularly, succinctly, and consistently well by Gladwell, provide a frame of reference on the world writ large that serve to answer the question, "how can little things make such a big difference?"

One of the powerful aspects of "The Tipping Point" is the voice of the author -- never proselytizing, Gladwell serves up the facts and the context for the review of the reader, and then builds a logical case as to why he believes what he does. I find Gladwell's logical voice to parallel that of Michael Pollen, especially Pollen's rhetorical approach used throughout The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

This is a smart, entertaining, revealing, and just plain fun book. I recommend this book to all curious readers.』

(If I have no other books to read in an airplane...)
『First, I bought this book because it's one of our supplemental reference book in class.
Second, I was prompted to buy because of good review.

It illustrate:
- how a small news can easily spread out (The British are coming)
- how Hush Puppies shoes was revived in the market
- how Sesame Street found its niche in television
- how crime was reduced in NY by cleaning up graffiti and fixing broken windows

I consider it more like a history book.
This book is quite okay. 50% of what I read are somewhat interesting but nothing in the book so far gave me a WOW.

』
『Author looks at why major changes in our society so often happen suddenly and unexpectedly. An intellectual adventure story and a road map to change, with a profoundly hopeful message-that one imaginative person applying a well-placed lever can move the world. Two cassettes read by Malcolm Gladwell.』
『"The best way to understand the dramatic transformation of unknown books into bestsellers, or the rise of teenage smoking, or the phenomena of word of mouth or any number of the other mysterious changes that mark everyday life," writes Malcolm Gladwell, "is to think of them as epidemics. Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do." Although anyone familiar with the theory of memetics will recognize this concept, Gladwell'sThe Tipping Pointhas quite a few interesting twists on the subject.

For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a "Connector": he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere "wasn't just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston," he was also a "Maven" who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenomenon continues to this day--think of how often you've received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you.

Gladwell develops these and other concepts (such as the "stickiness" of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal) through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes, such as comparing the pedagogical methods ofSesame StreetandBlue's Clues, or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger. Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly, and Gladwell's closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy, even chilling,The Tipping Pointis one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages. It seems inevitable that "tipping point," like "future shock" or "chaos theory," will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows--or at least knows by name.--Ron Hogan』

(a fantastic and amazing story)
『this book put me off the edge of my seat. i was always eager to find out what was going to happen next. the book is full of drama and courage. i have never read a greater book!』

(Library book)
『This book was delivered in a timely manner, was in excellent condition, and was a former library book, complete with library identification labels. Very likely was purchased from a used book sale at a local library (at least I hope so!) but, as I said, it is in excellent shape. I would buy from the seller again.』

(Fun story appropriate for teens and adults alike)
『Max is a smart and spirited 14-year-old with a few "issues". She is head of a "flock" of six kids who are on their own, and all of them just happen to be genetically-engineered progeny with wings and other special skills and talents.

You've gotta love Max. She is always trying to do the right thing, and meet everyone's needs. She is Mom to three younger ones, and the leader of the motley gang that includes two teen boys a little younger than herself. They are on the run, with dangerously evil Erasers after them at every turn.

This book is packed full of action, and is bursting with humanity. The kids are all very likable and believable. Max behaves very much like a typical 14-year-old girl. The storyline is full, appropriate for teens and adults alike, and very engaging. I look forward to reading the next book in the series!』

(Look ... you took advantage of me by being less than honest ...)
『This story about a group a kids transformed by cloning to be able to fly and other special abilities is interesting ... But you could have told me up front that this free kindle book was a multi part book and this book part 1 had no ending ... and that the other parts were not free ... then I would not have read the 1st free book only to find there was no ending to the story ... it was a conscious deception to make us buy the 2nd and 3rd books to find out what happened. I'm sorry ... that is just plain dishonest and deceitful. You should be ashamed of yourself ... Your morals are lacking!』

(Not everyone should attempt to write YA fiction)
『I've never read James Patterson, but assumed that he was a good writer because he's published so much. I'm still going to give him the benefit of a doubt and say that he might be a good writer for adults, but this little trip into Young Adult fiction was a mistake. He can't write from the perspective of a 14 year-old girl. This was painfully obvious from the start. The whole time I had the feeling that he was writing down to the audience. It has the distinct vibe of "This is what the young people are saying these days, right?" The main character is what I'm guessing is supposed to be a strong female role model. She's annoyingly flawless. Seriously, no flaws, except maybe her uncontrollable urge to save people. She never had any real fear, doubt, insecurities. She never thinks about herself. She just beats up monsters and goes on and on about how much she loves her adopted siblings, whom she selflessly raises with no help. I consider myself a pretty empathetic reader, but I couldn't care about any of these characters. Flat. Predictable. Horribly named.

I've heard the plot praised for being fast-paced, but it was choppy and unbelievably. Conflicts popped out of nowhere and then disappeared with the help of luck and random, previously undiscovered super powers. I like a good sci-fi or fantasy read. I'm pretty good at believing the unbelievable, but I couldn't get lost in this story. I was constantly jarred back to reality by the completely unreal characters.』

(Corporate Copyrighting of the Great Western Tradition)
『The Oz Principle chronicles the journey from victimization to accountability, a journey which is desperately needed in the work world today. For this I applaud the authors in their successful endeavors to raise this issue and bring it to light. Self-awareness is the truest path to overcoming. I have been in management for 38 years, and I have seen the victim mentality in others as well as in myself. This slavish mentality is crippling and needs to be transcended.

However, I also have a BA in philosophy, which I received at the young age of 21, and I have continued to study it. The journey of which The Oz Principle speaks is nothing new. This journey inspired and was undertaken by most philosophical, religious, and historical traditions of the West, starting with Abraham when he heard his name called. The road from victimization to emancipation, whether traveled by Moses on the exodus to the Promised Land or by Martin Luther King Jr. on the marches to civil rights, has been one manifestation of this mythical and primordial task. The road from victimization at the hands of the British Crown to political freedom, as witnessed in the writings of Thomas Payne, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, is another. The list goes on: From the victimization of mere opinion to the freedom of knowledge as described by the Allegory of the Cave in Plato's Republic. From victimization to salvation as found in the Epistles of Saint Paul. From being trapped and ruled by hidden memories and fears inside the unconscious to the bright, open expanse of self-awareness uncovered by psychoanalysis, initially heralded by Sigmund Freud. The journey becomes even more crystalized in Aristotle's portrayal of the Magnanimous Man and in Nietzsche's Overman. The Oz Principle cannot hold a candle to these great historical and literary movements.

The best summary of this hero's journey, for it is a hero who makes the leap out of victimization, is Joseph Campbell's "Hero with a Thousand Faces." Campbell breaks down the leap from victimization to authenticity into several stages. Among them are the call to adventure, the refusal of the call, the crossing of the first threshold, the belly of the whale, the road of trials, the ultimate boon, the refusal of the return, the crossing of the return threshold, and the freedom to live.

The greatest difference, however, between The Oz Principle and these other lives and works is that none of these others attempted to copyright this universal experience. I don't recall Martin Luther King Jr. ever trying to copyright the expression "We shall overcome," or "I have a dream today." Yet The Oz Principle is embarrassingly filled with short italicized phrases with a copyright "c" after them. Examples are Steps to Accountability, Below the Line, Above the Line, See It, Own It, Solve It, Do It. It's a good thing they didn't put the word "just" in front of "do it," or Nike might be suing them.

Socrates, the greatest thinker of the West and a self proclaimed philosopher, spent inordinate time differentiating himself from the sophists, who were speakers and writers who sold their knowledge for money. The sophists claimed to have the secret to life for a fee. Socrates never took any money, but he liberated many more people, and not just in his own time either. He knew that this universal human journey did not belong to just one man. He never passed the basket around after his sermons.

Returning from my philosophical journey and re-opening my eyes within the shadows of my managerial career, I fully recognize that I live in the 21st Century where capitalism rules, and rules rightfully so. Corporations create efficiencies, and six and a half billion people could not live without those efficiencies. The authors of The Oz Principle have a right to earn a living. So I recommend that you buy the book, if you are in management. In fact, I recommend it even if you are a union worker who believes himself victimized by corporations. I also recommend you attend the authors' seminars. Just remember that their road is only a small part of the human journey, a human journey that shall one day transcend and overcome the 21st Century. If the human journey is an ocean, The Oz Principle rations it with an eye drop.

In his famous play, Shakespeare, through his character Hamlet, asks "whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" (victimization) "or to take arms against a sea of trouble and by opposing end them" (taking control of one's own life). Yet "Hamlet" is a tragedy, which shows what is really at stake in this human journey. Certainly Martin Luther King Jr. did not have a happy ending to his personal life, although his crusade continues to inspire generations. Socrates was put to death by the Athenian democracy who tired of his calling citizens to task and to responsibility. Acknowledging and consenting to one's own death is a necessary part of the hero's journey. This acknowledging and consenting is not possible for a corporation, because it is not flesh and blood. Of all the examples that exist in the history of the West, the authors of this book choose "The Wizard of Oz," a children's fantasy with a happy ending. Choosing fantasy over tragedy is not just a sign of this book. Perhaps it is a sign of our times, and points to our inability to overcome the 21st Century.

With its copyrighting and its seminars, the Oz Principle exemplifies the wizard, a sophist in his own right, more than it teaches us about Dorothy or any of her friends. The wizard plays a part but ultimately is a comical figure, trying to just hold on and find a place for himself, much like the rest of us. He refuses to confront his own death, and he refuses to deal with the scariest danger confronting his age and his dominion. He leaves it to those who take a deeper ownership of their lives, an ownership that is not possible through copyrighting.』

(Thoroughly enjoyed and found numerous items to employ...)
『As the VP of operations for a small software development company, I found the information in this book very useful. The concepts seemed especially applicable to those in the fast changing environment of software development. So often in the software business, there are an exponential number of factors that are beyond your control. The concept of staying "above the line" was especially useful and helped us be much more creative in terms of actual solutions to problems that would otherwise have a more significant impact. Also, the concept of silos couldn't be more critical for us as well because of the constant mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships that are constantly being developed in the software industry. We've removed numerous silos between our QA, Support, Engineering, and Product Management shops based on the themes in this book. A must have for anyone developing software or any line of business where work flow and process control are mission critical. I actually purchased several additional copies and made it required reading for folks on the team.』

(Great Book)
『This book gives clear direction and practical tools on how to help people and organizations become more accountable. The authors re-define accountability and put it in a positive light that makes it much more approachable. A good read, with great content!』

(The Oz Principle)
『I love reading business books and was referred to The Oz Principle by a friend. When I first started out reading it and it started talking about accountability, I thought I was in for a book that talked strictly about accountability and how to hold people's feet to the fire, boy was I wrong. The Oz Principle addressed accountability in an accessible and positive way. They weren't talking about holding people's feet to the fire, rather they were talking about helping teams come together and achieving results. Overall, I thought this was a refreshing book with good insights, and one that I would definitely refer to a friend.
』

(Great book!)
『The key take-aways I got out of this book was that accountability doesn't need to be something negative, rather it can be really positive. All of us go Below the Line on occasion and blame others for our problems, that is human nature, but what The Oz Principle teaches is that we don't need to, and can't afford to stay there. Rather we need to go Above the Line and become accountable asking the "What else can I do?" rather than, "Who's fault is this?"』
『"The Oz Principle describes what we’ve all suspected —

that it isn’t just America in crisis, but the American

character. The good news is that Connors, Smith, and

Hickman also describe the‘yellow brick road’ we must follow

to rebuild the dominant qualities required to achieve

success."— Stephen R. Covey, author of The Seven

Habits of Highly Successful People』

(Disturbing)
『"Push" was a quick read, but a disturbing one. Heartbreaking.
I felt bad for Precious and wanted her to succeed. In a lot ways she ended up doing so, but she is still going to be scarred for life by what her parents did to her.
This book had a real feel to it in that it is told from Precious' point of view, with grammar and words that she would use.』

(Wanted to love it)
『I rushed out and bought this book after hearing about it on TV. I am amazed by the fact that this book is getting such good reviews! The basis of the story is beautiful and uplifting but I felt the writing was not very good. I know it is supposed to come from the point of view of an illiterate teen, but the misspellings and grammar were so distracting to me! I understand what the author was trying to do, but I did not care for it at all. I look forward to actually seeing the movie however!』

(A Precious Story)
『I read this book several months ago and just recently watched the movie. So, I find myself comparing the two. The story was original, thought-provoking and a definite tear-jerker; however, the grammar was a bit difficult to read the first chapter or so. As the story is told through the perspective of Precious, the 16 year old female dealing with more problems that most of us could fathom, the dialect seemed a bit off. Nonetheless, I got over that minor stumbling block and really started to appreciate the book. I squirmed when I learned Precious' stepfather sexually abused her and fathered her two children and cried when it came out that she was HIV positive. Then my emotions took a positive turn when she began to empower herself through school and asserting her independence. Being a literacy educator and working with the less fortunate, this book really spoke to me. It was definitely an emotional roller coaster, however; the movie took the story to another level as Lee Daniels did an amazing job capturing the hurt, pain and anger of Precious' mother, Mary on screen. After seeing the movie, I have a new found respect for the story. Precious' story encourages us to persevere no matter how difficult life's obstacles.』

(To Praise this Trash is Political Correctness Run Amok)
『This novel is nothing but pornography masquerading as trenchant social commentary. It presents itself as an alarming expose of life in the darkest corners of the inner city, something we all need to wake up and confront head-on. But then it gives us ridiculously exaggerated cartoon characters, laughable, botched-up, supposedly "authentic" language, and a completely unconvincing plot line. I mean, come on. This pathetic girl "victim" describes how she actually gets off while being violated by her father (yes, folks, it's in there), and then she names the resulting infant -- who is retarded with Mongoloid Down's Syndrome -- "Mongo" for short. Give me a break!! I didn't know if I was reading a highly-acclaimed novel promoted by the likes of Oprah Winfrey, or a vile, twisted, profanity-laced comic book with dirty pictures. One should not have to hold one's nose while reading a book. The one-star reviewer below me got it right -- NO young person should have to be subjected to this garbage. The book "Precious" is a sick joke on all of us.

』

(Dana)
『Great book, painful but real. In the short time that it takes to read, you enter into this story and her life. Moving.』
『A courageous teacher inspires Precious Jones to write a diary, and thus to find salvation. The learning process, as vividly revealed as the monstrous aspects of Precious's daily existence, is the heartbeat of a novel that will disturb, galvanize and stay in the mind. Push is a story that shocks by its language, its circumstances, its brutal honesty--a young black street girl's horrendous and redemptive journey through a Harlem inferno. Simultaneous hardcover release from Knopf. 2 cassettes.』
『

Claireece Precious Jones endures unimaginable hardships in her young life. Abused by her mother, raped by her father, she grows up poor, angry, illiterate, fat, unloved and generally unnoticed. So what better way to learn about her than through her own, halting dialect. That is the device deployed in the first novel by poet and singer Sapphire. "Sometimes I wish I was not alive," Precious says. "But I don't know how to die. Ain' no plug to pull out. 'N no matter how bad I feel my heart don't stop beating and my eyes open in the morning."

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review
(Painful to get through)
『I found this book extremely difficult to get through. I put it down several times, took a day or two break and then tried again.

Laurell K. Hamilton has an extremely down-to-earth tone in her writing that makes this book addicting even when I found the storyline appallingly bad. Very often, it felt like Meredith's past was being forced on me through exposition and her character explained rather than experienced.

For example, we're told that Meredith is a very nice person and everyone seems to love her, but why? She's beautiful and nice enough, but never anything outstanding or exemplary. The erotic parts of the novel are good steamy fun, but she nevers seems to connect with any one person. Her initial relationship with Roan and her boss Jeremy are the closest the author gets in having Meredith make an actual connection with another character. Every other relationship in the novel seems exploited by easy sexuality. There is a tendency of introducing multiple characters at one time -- characters that also disappear again so quickly that it seems unnecessary to even remember their name.

There were several passages that turned my stomach -- leading to the periods when I had to put down the book -- because they were so alienating to me, as a reader. I skimmed over many pages when the narration turned to (to summarize): date rape, tentacle sex, sex with warted hags, malformed goblin masturbation, etc. etc...

As addicting as Ms. Hamilton's writing is(and as steamy as the sex scenes were)this book isn't worth it. I couldn't finish the last 10% of it, much less any more novels about this character.』

(An Excellent Adult Fae Dark Urban Fantasy Romance)
『There are over 300 reviews for this book already, so my review will be brief. I've never read anything from this author before but decided to take advantage of the free download from Kindle. Even though I'm sure some of the complaints concerning Laurell's writings have merit; I let a lot of the negative reviews surrounding Laurell's books get in the way of me discovering a fantastic author. If you are disturbed by multiple sex partners or frequent sexual activity, I don't recommend you read this book. This book was a very exciting, creative, dark and dangerous fantasy that completely delivered. I enjoyed this book so much; I greedily devoured it and could hardly put it down. I am always looking for dark urban fantasy books that involve the fae and cater to adults, and I very pleased to be able to add Laurell's Meredith Gentry series to my short list. I highly recommend this book to dark urban fantasy readers and look forward to reading the next book A Caress of Twilight.
I also recommend:
Storm Born (Dark Swan, Book 1)
Darkfever (Fever Series, Book 1)
Rosemary and Rue: An October Daye Novel
Full Moon Rising (Riley Jensen, Guardian, Book 1)
Witchling (Sisters of the Moon, Book 1)

(definite fun)
『If you have a rainy sunday to waste, this is definitely a fun read! Even if the detective story is a little thin, even if all the hunks are after a while are hard to keep apart - it is still fun. It did good to dispense all believe and be drawn into a 'happy' fantasy of a small ass-kicking woman being the center of attention... 'Kiss' will probably stay for a while on my iphone, specially since it was free! Am I going to buy the next book in the series? Well, if I should get the flue - who knows?』

(Good quality dark fantasy.)
『My first book from the author and I can say one thing, I cannot help but want more.

Meredith is a great character. The plot is unexpected. One cannot guess what is coming next. The romance isn't like, I see you and I will love you forever, what is great in my opinion.

It hasn't got to what Kushiel's dart means to me, since Pedhre is my all times favorite heroine. But, it was a great reading nonetheless.

(cheap porn)
『You know those awful porn movies with no plot other than to have sex every scene? This book is pretty much like that. If they weren't having sex, they were talking and planning it. But, hey, if that's what you like.....』
『"All it would take was my true name being mentioned after dark, and it would float back to my aunt. She was the Queen of Air and Darkness, and that meant that anything said in the dark was hers to hear, eventually. The fact that spotting the missing Elven American Princess had become more popular than spotting Elvis helped. Her magic was always chasing blind leads. Princess Meredith skiing in Utah. Princess Meredith dancing in Paris. Princess Meredith gambling in Vegas. After three years I was still a front-page story for the tabloids, though the latest headlines had been speculating that I was as dead as the King of Rock and Roll . . ."

In fact, Meredith has been posing as a human in Los Angeles, living as a private investigator specializing in supernatural crime. But now Doyle, the Queen's chief bodyguard and assassin, has been dispatched to fetch her back - whether she likes it or not. And suddenly Meredith finds herself a pawn in her dreaded aunt's plans . . . plans that affect the future of the entire UnSeelie Court. The requirements of the job: to enjoy the constant company of the most beautiful - and immortal - men in the world. The reward: the crown - and the opportunity to continue to live. The penalty: death.』
『Laurell K. Hamilton revitalized vampires, werewolves, and zombies in the popular Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter books. In this new series, she updates faeries.A Kiss of Shadowsintroduces Merry Gentry, a.k.a. Meredith NicEssus, a faerie princess of the Unseelie Court, where politics is a blood sport. Merry, who's part sidhe (elvish), part brownie, and part human, never really fit in. She's short, not skilled in offensive magic, and mortal because of her human blood. These are real liabilities when your family, especially aunt Andais, Queen of Air and Darkness, is out to kill you. Merry has been in hiding for three years, living in Los Angeles and working for the Grey Detective Agency, which specializes in "supernatural problems, magical solutions." A new case sets her against a man who uses forbidden magic to seduce fey women and drain their power. A plan to trap him goes awry and Merry's cover is blown. Now Andais knows where she is. But things have changed in Andais's court, and Merry is changing too.

Despite the selkies, brownies, goblins, and ogres in this book, it's not for children. The fey are "creatures of the senses"--and in the Unseelie court, sex and pain go together. Merry is sexually adventurous and surrounded by gorgeous, powerful males, most of whom want her badly. She's politically savvy and no coward, though she's not the warrior Anita is. Hamilton fans and readers of adult fairy tales like Anne Bishop's Black Jewels trilogy will want to give Merry a look.--Nona Vero』
