Yes, read the book even if you decide (like me) to fight a different fight

Bob Sullivan's Gotcha Capitalism - How Hidden Fees Rip You Off Every Day, and What You Can Do About It is an easy-to-follow, comprehensive and handy guide to identifying extra fees and overcharges that consumers can sometimes successfully dispute.  At his estimate of almost $950 in such charges per year, reading the book is a small investment to pay to be a savvy consumer.

I found most helpful the template letters and summary list of which industries are most amenable to customer complaints.

Sullivan is very honest about the time investment you often need to make to seek redress, and he speaks of the larger issue about principle and creating a fairer society.  But at an annual savings of about $950 to fight these fees (solving the larger issues are of course worth many times this but hard to quantify to the individual) I became inspired to earn so much money that I wouldn't care about these fees.  There are many Millionaire How-To studies that show that wealthy people track their money diligently and question extraneous charges, so perhaps I am wrong to try and "earn" my way out of caring.  But at least when I am focused on earning rather than fighting, I get the upside of moving towards a positive goal that has benefits beyond the cushion against unfair charges.  This seems to me the more optimistic approach and the better fight than the fight against the fees alone.

I haven't really read the book, but I truly feel that I AM someone who has read the book. I've always connected to the experience of people who comment on articles without reading them and the wider diaspora of people who so desperately want to belong to something that they are actually insulting to the people who do and are the people they wish to become.

p.s. If you like this book, you'll love Netflix's Iron Fist and the American remake of Ghost in the Shell.

If you decided to choose this book to read, then I might say, it is a good choice. It doesn't matter how old or young you are, but it matters whether you love to love or not. This is the book for someone who is eager for freedom and love. Although it has some sensational description for sexual relations, some of you might heard about this well, it is, about the love and freedom of a woman and her lover.

There are three main characters in this book. Sir Clifford, Lady Chatterley  also known as Constance or Connie  and the gamekeeper Mellors. It is interesting to see how these characters are changing, interacting each other. And each of male character is on the opposite side, and Connie moved one to the other. They are fascinating enough to keep your eyes on to the end of this book. I won't tell you the spoiler but I want as many of you read the book yourself.

 Also, I strongly recommend this book to someone who was disappointed with the film Lady Chatterley (2006). The film adaptation of this book failed to interpret the meaning of the great original. In contrast to the director, the author Lawrence made wonderful literature ever. Read this book first and please, not to watch the film based on this book.

I bought this book for a friend to read while he is rehabing from an injury after listening to it on Audible. It is an account of the Bengahzi attacks and by now many of you have seen the movie and know the story. It is still an interesting read and fills in many of the detials the movie glossed over. In fact, had i not read the book first, I think I would have been a little lost at some points in the movie. The charachter develo-ment is much deeper and you really get a feel for the dynamics of what was happening in the moment, whereas in the movie it just feels chaotic, but you are not sure why. i recommend readint this bookl even ir you have already seen the move.

...you may be wondering if you should read the book as well.  The answer is yes.  There is a lot of fascinating stuff in the book that is not covered in the movie or explained in much greater detail.

I related to the author and his battle with busyness in a major way.  To some degree, he describes this battle better than the solution.  But as I read his ultimate solution, I am betting he is right. I hope I can listen.

I have enjoyed it very much! My Dad was in that battle and the book helped to know more about what he went through.

This is highly biased, but that doesn't mean it's not worth reading.  Yeah, you should read this, but don't stop with this book.  Continue reading and studying especially looking at varied views from other and more solidly based writers.  It's a fairly fast read, and much here is indeed reliable, but there are other books like this out there, and you certainly should read them too so you get a more even viewpoint.

Normally, I don't read the books like these. These are the books which I actually enjoy watching on the screen. That's why I was bit skeptical about signing up for the review tour of the book. As I thought I might not do a complete justice while reviewing the book.

But now after finishing the book, I am glad that I signed up for the book. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Though at times I had actually try hard imagining the things, but in the end I loved the book.

This book will be loved a lot by the ones who loves to read something different. The fight between the demons and the humans is worth reading for. There are lots of twists and turns in the book and the writer will keep you completely engaged in the book. You will definitely find it difficult to keep down the book even for a second. I would definitely recommend the book to everyone.

The author can really write in the feeling of battle(disclaimer: I haven't been in real battle myself, I am amateur boxer tho). Normally i skip over the attempts of others to describe complex violence. If you read about Miles you'll see he has the background for the extensive description of "being in harness", that was the best...also! Lol

I admit it was with hesitation that I started listening to this book when it was released earlier this week.  Is it for working mothers, and if so, would I (again) feel the less than for not being one?  Is it for the women suffering blatant discrimination at school, at home, or in the workforce, the fate I was lucky enough to avoid - for the most part?  Is it for highly ambitious women, which I am not really?

Having read Sarahs reporting for a while now, I knew the writing and the story would be excellent, no matter what, so I proceeded.  Glad I did. I feel stronger, more compassionate, and less dumb now that Im finished.  This is for me and for many others, women and men alike.  (If you doubt this having read the first couple of sentences of the first chapter, keep reading: youll be fine!  Spoiler alert?)

Sarah challenges the many lies we believe as a society, lies that limit and disempower us all.  She challenges them with the power of solid research and the sharp word, but also with kindness of someone who has struggled with them.  In her personal narrative, she is forthright about her successes and about her fears and downfalls.  I could relate to so much of that!  She shares her own story and many other compelling stories of the many people she interviewed in the US, in China, and in Iceland.  Then she hands the power to choose and to be self-determined to the reader.

Oh, and - Evie 2052!

When I saw the trailer for the upcoming movie I felt the need to re-read "Far From The Maddening Crowd". Although 50 years have passed, I believe I appreciated the book more now than I did then. Definitely worth reading.

Go listen to Diane Rehm's interview. It gives a good take on the book, and whether you want to read it. I believe you will. When you finish the book, you'll want to hike the Pacific Coast Trail yourself.

I bought the book and read it expecting yet another diet book.  This is definitely a lifestyle book and it got me to think carefully about my choices.  I didn't try any of the recipes.  The book was really interesting, well researched and well written.  It just didn't grab me the way other lifestyle books have so I've sold it to the local 2nd hand bookstore.  I'll carry with me the ideas of watching my hormones and how my drinking two glasses of wine a night is negatively impacting my metabolism.  But at least now it's a conscious choice.  I'd recommend reading it, absolutely.

I decided to read this book after the movie came out and a few friends recommended it.

There is a lot of jumping around in the story and you have to pay attention to the section headings to figure out what point in time the story is covering. Even with that though, I still got a little confused. I had to keep going back to check and see how old Henry was in the part I was reading. But once I got my bearings it was okay.

And I absolutely loved the book. And then seriously cried at the end. I think I cry at the end of most books, so take that with a little hint of salt. Or a lot, your choice.

I originally wrote a review that was full of confusion, because that's the way I felt after reading a bunch of the other reviews. Some people really disliked the book and poked holes in the characters, the storyline and the author's way of telling the story. It almost seems like we read completely different books. And darn it, it made me question my experience with the book AFTER I'd already read it.

Forget that. I enjoyed it. I got sucked in. It didn't have to be perfect for me to enjoy it. I did read it so fast that I may have missed some things. And maybe even some important things. So when I get my copy back, I'm going to go back and reread it. And I really hope it holds up under a second reading. I think it will.

If you read the book don't see the movie, and if you saw the movie  read the book, because it is a lot better. It is full of some very interesting history. You might even want to have a map out to follow along.
