Don't waste your money on this book

This book is the most ridiculous book I have ever bought or read.  I can't even believe I wasted my money on this book.  It is written for a 3rd grader and states obvious facts.  It was a waste of money and time.

I had already found all of this information on the Internet. However, I thought since this was a book, it would have more information. Don't waste your money.

Don't waste your time or money on this book. This guy spends more time talking about point and shoot cameras and what then can't do and spends very little time on useful instruction for beginners of DSLR cameras

Do not waste your money on this book unless you do not have clue about women.  The book has 12 chapters, only one of which actually addresses the subject matter.  I enjoy eating at the "Y" and love pleasing women while doing so.  I was expecting a "how to" book written from a woman's perspective but what I got was mostly useless feminist babble.

Please do NOT waste your money on this book! The author talks about others bilking the public out of money, believe me this book does the same.  There are NO cures in the book!  Possibly, he give some information, IF you spend extra money on his newsletters or his website. This man should be in jail instead of selling books.  I am a retiree and have wasted my money on what I thought would be a book to help a friend of mine with a serious illness.  WRONG!

Do not waste your money on this book. The "humour" is mean spirited and tasteless.  As far as I am concerned it is not worthy of one star.

This is one of the worst book I have ever read. It seems to me she only knows one word, because it is used on almost every page. I usually pass on my books, not this one I burned it. Don't waste your money. I wouldn't read it even if it was free.

Do not waste your money on this book. Anna Maria does very well on a standardized test in first grade and is sent to another class. We are to assume it is a gifted class. Instead of celebrating the child's strengths, the teacher explains to the rest of the class that they are good at other things. Anna Maria keeps stopping by to remind them to water the plants, etc. until she finally quits the GT class and tells her original class "First Grade needs me."  Nothing is said about Anna Maria's educational needs being met.
Let's picture this story in another setting. Say Anna Maria was an outstanding  sports star. The coach puts her on varsity. Can you imagine Anna Maria going back to JV, "because JV needs me"?  Or, let's say that Anna Maria needed to go to speech class. Would the focus of the book be that she shouldn't go to a "special" class? Of course not. This book is an insult to GT kids, their parents, and the teachers who work with them. The only positive thing about this book is Lilian Hoban's illustrations. Too bad they are wasted on such a poor story.

Based upon the reviews, I had high expectations...which were never met!  The story's concept is original; however, the story moves too fast without any setup so that it feels rushed and you never really identify with any of the characters. Do not waste your money on this book.  In fact, this book wouldn't be worth reading even if it were free.

Don't waste your money on this book.  What's wrong with it?  For starters, it's padded, an obvious "quick hit" attempt, it's as much or more about Hamas as it is about ISIS and therefore the title is misleading, seems designed to appeal to those people who are worried and even obsessed with the threat posed by ISIS and, consistent with that objective, it is couched in unnecessarily emotional and violent language.  In other words, if you are interested in a thorough, well written, well thought out, independent, and unbiased account of this group, you should definitely look elsewhere.  And probably give it some time as well.

I threw this book away before I even finished reading it. I wish I had read all of the reviews before buying this book. Don't waste your time or money on this one! Check out ALL the reviews before you decide for yourself.

Don't waste your time on this book. Ugh. The story is all over the place, the characters are so indecisive, I read the whole thing and still have no idea what Kian and his clan actually are. Then, the book just abruptly ends. Waste of time and money.

To my dismay I find that this book gives very very little practical advice on how to live through difficult times.
If you are in a difficult time, and want to seek some advice on how to cope, then don't waste your money on this book, as it would not help.

I bought this book as a gift. Big mistake. The photos are indeed snapshots as many of them are poorly composed, poorly exposed, and some are out of focus! Don't waste your money on this book.

Do not waste your money on this book. It is poorly written and all over the place. It is obvious that she still has NO idea what she and her husband both did and does not take ANY accountability. I watched the show from day one and lost a lot of respect for her but thought I would give her a chance by reading this, seriously wishing I that I hadn't. And basically everything that she is saying on People and talk shows is what the whole book is, so just read and watch those. Save your money!
