Certainly not what I expected

This has got the most basic survival book I can possibly imagine. Part of it is my fault, as I failed to check how many pages the book was prior to purchasing it. With that said, I would refer to it more as a survival brochure rather than a book. I do not think I actually learned one thing from this book that I didn't already know. I am sure that the author intended this book for those who are new to survival techniques and perhaps "prepping", but the book is so basic that I don't think that I would even recommend it for those who have no survival training/experience at all. I can sum up most of the "book" here...travel in a group to your well prepared and defended (and near by) "bug-out" location. I think if the author greatly expanded on his current chapters it would have the potential to be an all right book.

It was not anything like what I expected and really the projects are mostly not what I will utilize.

When I heard the musical clips from this CD, I bought it, expecting it to be hardcore. It's not. If you like him or this genre, you will probably like it. I did not like it because, honestly, I was looking for hardcore, expletive riddled, nasty stuff. This is not it.

not what I expected or hoped for, not my taste.

Not at all what I expected.  Certainly not appropriate for an older relative. The glowing recommendations make me worry about our society. Do you really want to know about a parent or grandparent's sexual fantasy and if it has ever been fulfilled? Are you curious about the relative someone likes least and why, who they would kill if no retribution, who they think should be killed and if someone picks their nose? If so, this is the book for you.

Well, Nothing against getting some good tips now and then about Anything in life....but this Book was Not what I was expecting at all. Which may be My Bad and Nobody elses  :-(  I had thought I was purchasing a Book with Secrets ingredients to whip up or every day Household items to use on things, but this book was more along the lines of advising you how to basically Map Out Your Day as to How to save time Cleaning !  If one is very Unorganized in general, this book will most likely help you out...but if you are like myself and know the In's & Out's on using Time wisely...then there is No need to get this book then. You can figure it out on your own I am sure, no probs. So I either did Not read the review closely enough OR I simply got Dupped into something I did Not need !  :-)  Oh well...I had purchased this Book in Used conditiion so I did Not spend a Arm & Leg on it (Thank Goodness). So...I will Reco that you read the Review of the Book closely before you order.

This book was much stranger than I expected, which pleased me. I. was so glad it wasn't the story it seemed at first. But it is also rather disturbing about what it suggests about relationships. I know I'll be thinking about for years to come.

I was a little disappointed in this book, not what I was expecting.

This book is totally different than what I was expecting.  I was expecting a true crime recollection from an actual childhood murderer.  What I got was a wild, drug-influenced, sex and murder-filled wall of words.  It is simply the oddest book I have ever read.  I'm not saying the book was horrible, and I feel privileged to have read it for some reason, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.  If you happen to be actively seeking it out, then you will read it regardless.

This was not what I was expecting at all!!!  It is so tiny and certainly not useful to me at all.

Wasn't what I expected. As least it was inexpensive

I ordered this expecting it to be a collection of touching essays in the style of "Everything I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" (with apologies to R.F. if I butchered the title).  Instead, I opened the book to find it laid out in more of a cookbook style, with "recipes" for rituals.  The two authors take turns writing the rituals, and the one author came closer to my expectations that the other, but overall I was disappointed.

It wasn't what I expected, but someone else may enjoy it.

This certainly was not what I expected when I ordered this book. The theme was uninteresting, the printing job was second rate. It was to much trouble to return it given the amount of money involved. Oh well, everyone is entitled to make a mistake.

The book was not what I was expecting at all - much darker and depressing that I was hoping for.

Although all the other reviewers seem enchanted with this book, it was not what I was expecting. It's primarily descriptions of Dr. Ellerby's many episodes of enlightenment. Not only has he practiced each of the spiritual paths, he has also mastered most of them and experienced enlightenment too many times to count. Yoga, meditation, death practice, sacred service--you name it, and he's done it and experienced amazing spiritual insights while doing so. I was looking for more specific instruction, weighing of pros and cons, advice on which paths are more suited to which personality types, etc. As far as thoughts on how to live, I'd recommend something like Thich Nhat Hanh's "Peace Is Every Step" before this book. It did virtually nothing to enlighten me.

Having collected a rather steep assortment of "Black Magick" texts, I thought this would be a fine addition. That being said, I couldn't even call this a book. Being a mere 38 pages long, the rituals seem to me more of a way to plug their "Shadow Tarot Deck" than anything else. Not a completely useless book, however it is not at all what I expected. I read it in just over an hour and realised without the special tarot deck, I couldn't even attempt most, if not all of the procedures listed inside. So let's get this straight, I have to spend moe money, just to attempt the rituals. Hmmmmm....no thanks.
