I have not read but a little of the book.  After reading the author's other books, I know it is a perfect story.  She is an excellent writer and a wonderful person.

This is a really good book.  I regret giving 5 stars to less deserving books.  It reduces my ability to recognize a truly excellent work, like this one.  The characters are well developed people worthy of respect.  It is capable of standing alone as a complete novel, even though there is thankfully a follow on coming.

Excellent book.  The first book I've read by this author.  It will not be my last.

This is, a whole, an excellent book. Much of the material was covered in my graduate work in medical school, so it was, for me, not new. The book was, though, a good refresher. Most people, including me, bought the book to read the material on Intelligent Design. After I read the chapters on ID, I read the rest of the book and found it better than I had expected. The chapters I have concerns over include the chapter on biodiversity and the chapter on cancer (I spent some time doing cancer research at the previous University where I was a faculty). Although the chapter on cancer contains useful information, it is well established that p53 and other tumor suppressor genes, plus oncogenes, do play a role in cancer, although the story may well be more complex than we understand now. Mutated p53 is found in over half of all cancers and we understand in some detail why and the role it plays in cancer. As to the chapter on biodiversity, it is in fact a real concern today (especially for animal lovers such as myself). These chapters should have been more balanced. The chapter on nuclear energy was excellent and could have come, word for word, out of my chemistry textbook, which came to the exact same conclusions: we need to build new nuclear plants now! Likewise, the chapter on hormesis was excellent. The chapter on Aids in Africa was also excellent. I now am skeptical about the claims about a pandemic of Aids in Africa, and understand why the pandemic claim is made. These chapters are not controversial among most informed persons in the field. Nor, in my judgement, are the chapters on ID. I think that reviewers who bring up Dr. Well's putative religion and the statements he made when he was involved in this church as a youth are playing on ignorance of this church and prejudice. Moon was a Presbyterian minister and a Korean, and blended the two, plus he added some new ideas. I do not agree with him on theology, but then I am neither a Korean nor a Presbyterian. Few Americans understand Unification theology, and condemn it without understanding it. The Unificationists today are in the same position as Mormons were a century ago. And Unificationists, I predict, will in time be as respected as Mormons are today (I have studied both in detail and, even though I disagree with them, I understand where they are coming from). I too made some foolish statements as a young man and to dig these up to discredit someone is irresponsible. Attack the ideas, not the person.

An excellent book.  I just happened to stumble on it.  Deserves more attention--

The author is very experienced in both the relevant science, and the real music industry.  I have a strong sense that he knows what he's talking about and is highly credible.  The writing style is excellent.  There were all kinds of facts in here that ranged from novel to amazing.  This really does tell you important things about how psychoacoustics works, and has a lot of ideas and speculations (it's hard to prove) about the meaning and function of music in the human experience.  I've been recommending this one to lots of my friends.

This is an excellent book. By the second chapter I had a breakthrough, and began to agree (as in not disagree) with the author. Her method of decluttering begins to rearrange, in your mind, the whole painful process of letting go of possessions. Mentaly, as you read, the end goal, takes precedence, not the objects which are standing in your way. As you read, you get anxious to  begin to use her methods, and  have more confidence that you will succeed. She meticulously covers how to deal with each of the various types of articles that people stockpile. I am very grateful to the author, Marie Kondo, for sharing her ideas and methods. I am looking forward to achieving dramatic results. I recommend this book. I think the author is correct in saying that the results you can achieve by this method can change your life.

An excellent book...I just finished it!  The author's hard work and good scholarship certainly shows.  Already a Pre-Wrather and not needing to be convinced of that truth, my favorite part was the exegesis of Genesis 3:8 on page 106.  The more I study and have excellent study materials like this book, the more clear and the more amazing I find the Lord and His Book.

I was blown away, the characters in the book are described so well, you can feel all their emotions, the plot twists and turns, the anticipation of what will happen next. And its not what I thought would ! A really good read, I know its an old saying but I could not put the book down (well the kindle) The research has been done so well, you can feel yourself there. In my view an excellent book with a great story, well researched and well written.
