This is a very readable book that puts everything into perspective.  It also shows how important our foreign policy is not only to us but to the world.  There are times blundering by our government leads us and millions of others down a road that will last for decades. This is a very important book for all of us to read.  We have been told America is weak, but the problem is that we are powerful beyond our understanding.  This book will further understanding that jingoism should be set aside and careful thought by those who really know a subject in depth should lead.  It also made me a big fan of the king of Jordan.

Dr. Servan-Schreiber's book is one of the most important books for anyone interested in leading a happy, healthy life. His writing is touching, beautiful and uplifting, a true page turner. So much so that I got a copy for all my children. Even though much is based on thorough science, his language is easy to understand and a joy to read. Definitely a ray of light to anyone in need of better health. Many thanks for a wonderful, worthwhile book. Roswitha McIntosh

This book is one of the most important books in my collection.  I refer to it almost every day. If one reads it, keeping in mind that it consists of transcripts of spoken lectures, thus not always in "polished" language like an ordinary written text, there is much to be learned about the "how to" of psychic phenomena, spirit communication, contacting spirit guides; plus accounts of "dark circles"; discussion of reincarnation, archangels, the purpose of our lives etc.  Rev. Larr was apparently a man of wide experiences in his life, and it is a lively, interesting read!

This is not an easy book to read but it is, nevertheless, an important book if you wish to reach an understanding well beyond the typical media fare.  The level of detail is nearly astounding and despite the occasional density I suggest plowing through to reach the author's insights.

One of the most important books I have read. If you have a spare Saturday, read it. Tell others.

This is an extremely important book for humans.  It is a radical book in the sense that it will challenge your favorite dictums yet if you allow the author to speak to you, another Author, will speak to you and your life will be forever changed and transformed.  I heartily endorse this text and its author.

5 star because it is an immensely important book. Some critical comments could be made on the way it is structured, but there is no need to read it linearly, from its first page to its last -- although I did precisely that, because I could not stop reading it.

This is an extremely important book because it gives the women of Iran a voice, and one that has been heard around the world.  This book is many things: a discussion of English literature, a memoir, a history of the last 30 years in Iran, and more.  It is especially worthwhile for those interested in women's issues, Iran, and literature.  Just a word of warning--for those not familiar with the writings of Jane Austen, Nabokov, Henry James, or Fitzgerald--parts of this book may not make much sense.  May there be freedom and democracy one day in Iran.

I think this is possibly one of the most important books I've ever read.  It made me understand the reasons for the demise of current television and film and subsequently the family unit.  This book should be required reading for all television and film executives, schools and all parents.  I shall be eternally grateful to Steve Allen for writing this book and for his wife and son for talking about it on television.  This book could be the catalyst for a kinder world.

A very important book. It focuses on MORAL issues, rarely the center of attention in academic books. It is still timely today, as we contemplate increasing disharmony in a slower-growth world since the 2007-9 financial crisis.

This is one those few and rare books out there that has the power to be life changing.

A truly inspiring book that opens your eyes on a subject so little understood today.

A highly important and timely book.

This is the most important book I've read so far this decade. The author Thomas Keneally writes extremely well and even if you know quite a bit about the Holocaust, you will learn more as a result of reading this book. Characters of all varieties are brought to life here and force you to consider ethical principles and the nature of human behavior.

I watched only part of the movie of this book as it made me nauseous. For those who may have avoided the movie for similar reasons, I can highly recommend the book. You can read it slowly, taking in all the historical facts, and though the brutality is described, you do not have to witness it with your eyes. It is still difficult but leads you more to an interior exploration of your own ethics and opinions about society.

One of the important aspects of the book is that Schindler was no angel. He had many character flaws. But he attempted to save as many victims of the Nazis as he could despite the danger. Therefore, the book though depicting the worst kind of brutality can give us hope. I urge you to read this book.

This is a Book about the plight of humankind. It boldly asks the important questions. It's a book that demands to be noticed.

I recommend this book to anyone who cares about more than the basics of this life.
