Don't waste your money! Do NOT purchase this book!

This is a terrible book!
It is poorly written, with caricatures, instead of characters.
Their dialogue is cliched, and derivative, not original.
Compared to other action writers, the 'action' is poorly written, and obvious.
There is no tension - instead it reads like a pot-boiler, with the outcome telegraphed well before the event.

There are laughable mistakes within the book. One figure - a university professor uses a 'main-frame' computer to program miniture chips that control the prosthetic legs!

I was very disappointed in this book.
It does not compare with works by Tom Clancy, Lee Child, or Vince Flynn.
Support these authors, and buy their books - not this book.

This is literally one of the worst books I have ever read. As much as this author claims to have "studied" for truth, it is apparent that all she has found is deception. She shows that she understands nothing of Scripture or Yahuah. Throughout the book she rips Scripture from its context to "prove" her new beliefs, its called prooftexting. I would not recommend this book to anyone, and I'm thankful I did not purchase it, but read it through Kindle Unlimited. If I had of purchased it I would be asking for my money back. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.

Disappointing is too kind a word to describe this book.  The number of glaring errors and omissions in this book make it a complete waste of money.  Do yourself a favor and do not buy this book even though it will most likely be heavily discounted as sellers try to unload their stock.  Oakes and Schwartz should be wholly ashamed of themselves and the editor, Edler, should never work again in that capacity.  What a shame!

What a complete waste of money!  The author, promising to make music theory, musical notation, and guitar playing possible in one day has, for this aspiring musician, made the process more daunting than it seemed previously!  First of all, this isn't four books -- it's one book, divided into four sections.  Each section seems to have been written as a stream-of-consciousness exercise, with major (no pun intended) holes in the explanation process.  Take this, for example, from page 182:  "The second part of an interval name is referred to as the prefix.  The prefix is determined by the quality of the interval.  There are five major prefixes that are used to describe intervals.  A perfect interval is one that includes both an octave and a unison.  Perfect intervals also have a fourth and fifth."  What???  Neither before nor after this does he define "quality of interval," nor does he explain what the two sentences that conclude this pericope mean either.
I bought this book because it was described as simplifying music theory; if that's one of your reasons for purchasing it, DON'T!  It appears to be self-published -- the graphics are horrible, the sequencing of topics makes little sense to the new learner, and there has clearly been no editing.  I've regretted purchases before, but have never been moved to write such a negative review as this.  TAKE A PASS ON THIS BOOK, DON'T BUY IT -- YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

I found this book less than useless. I speak several languages and I was a German translator in the US Army, so I learn languages easily. This book proved itself to be a waste of money soon after I opened the front cover. It begins with a discussion of the basic elements of a sentence, and then, with absolutely no discussion of verbs, their tenses or their conjugation, gives exercises in conjugation. The disorganization and stupidity of this book move forward at full pace, leading only to frustration. Don't buy this book!

I purchased this book based on the good reviews but this book was not worth the $2.99 I spent to purchase it! I want my money back! The book was super boring and very repetitive. What kind of training does this guy have to give me advice on how to break a bad habit? I'm assuming none, or at least not any credible training. After reading this book I felt taken advantage of. I think I am going to look into getting a refund. Yea, it was only $2.99 but it's the principal behind it all.  Don't waste your time or hard earned money!

Please don't waste your money on this book! It just put MSDN and Crystal Report online help into this book! The examples are also very poor. The author doesn't understand Crystal Report. NET and Visual Studio. NET very well. He just copy some examples from online help or from website because I asked him some questions. Although the book already has the contents, he responsed he doesn't know! I understand why the publisher doesn't want to publish it!

I would give it zero stars if I could. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! The cover of the book makes false claims: "Covering the CLEP Micro and Macro Economics Exams. This book has nothing to do with either of the exams. The back of the book enforces this. "Not generalized study system"..."without endorsement from vendor". This book is only a list of terminology and does not contain any rational of theory. This book does not contain, graphs or formulas. I have been mislead by the author and will tell all of my friends at university to avoid this book, author and its corresponding website.

I picked up this book at a book sale, marked down to $1.00, because I'm working on a business plan of my own.  I read the first few chapters before I finally gave up. I came online to see who the guy was who wrote it, found his website, and found the book being sold here.  This book is a mess.  It seemed like the guy wanted to write a book about his childhood or something, and happened to toss in some thoughts about business plans.  It was terrible.  I wouldn't even donate it to the library. I looked at the other reviews and they are obviously by his wife or friends in Hawaii.  Don't waste your money. This book sucks.

Okay, I am an avid reader. I love self-help books, novels, non-fiction... basically anything I can get my hands on. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK! It is cheaply printed and has no useful information. You can gather the same information from a basic Google search and read the first couple of articles because it will articulate the same information. There is nothing ground-breaking in this book at all, and it was a waste of my time and money.

UPDATE: I read this book again. I wanted to ensure that I wasn't just pissed off one day and took it out on the book. Nope... this book still sucks. I have no idea why it has so many positive reviews.... must be all from family members and friends? There are even type setting errors in the book. I can't believe I wasted over $10 on this flimsy product.

I don't think I would be as harsh on this product if it was actually a quality printing, but it isn't. If it was quality, it would probably be somewhere between 2-3 stars. For example, I've read it twice now and the binding is already all bent. Not quality for money I spent on the book. If it was in better shape, I would seriously consider returning the book.

I re-read through all twelve steps to become more "happy." Once again I feel as if I could gather the same information from reading an article on the MSN homepage. Seriously. Do not waste your money on this book. I know that I sound like somebody who is really pissed my money was thrown away (which I am), but please do not waste your money on it. I feel as if the author is trying to become a successful motivational speaker and make tons of money off of this book and a potential tour. There is nothing groundbreaking. There is nothing new. There is nothing in this book that you don't already know by a simple google search.

Save your money, and put it towards another book. I recently red "Happiness is a Serious Problem" by Prager. I enjoyed that book a lot more, as it actually spoke to you as a person and didn't just regurgitate information from basic psychology pamphlets. I am just perplexed on why this book has so many positive reviews, as that is the sole reason why I purchased this book. I am completely flabbergasted.

This book is not worth buying.  Buyer beware!  Don't waste your hard-earned money on this book.  Anker Publishing Company has many good leadership books, but this is not one of them.  I don't understand why Anker chose to publish this book.  Once again, don't waste your money on this book.

Do not waste your money! This book is absolute garbage. It is written in the most simplistic way possible, most likely lifting generic info from free sources. There are tons of formatting and spelling mistakes. It is almost as if the book is written for 3rd graders but uses big words here and there.

I am extremely dissapointed by the quality of this book. I purchased the online download because I needed to study quickly. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to see the book before purchasing or I would have never purchased it! The book contained numerous mistakes, to the point that it is impossible to trust the content of the book. For example,on page 65 it gives the wrong explanation for accentuation. If it were just typo's, I could live withit (but I would just consider it very unprofessional), but it has numerous content mistakes, unforgivable in a reference book. The information on the book is misleading and can lead to incorrect answers on the test, effectively lowering your score instead of raising it!!! There are also many mistakes on the key to the practice test, so your score on the practice test is incorrect!!! There is also material missing (dialogue and reading passages questions 21-23)that make portions of the test useless. This book can not be trusted! This is the most recent 2008 edition directly from their website.

Please don't purchase this book. The ratings must be by friends of this author because seriously this book was a complete waste. When I purchase books I feel the need that I have to read them throughout and I did with this book as well. I was so disappointed because I read Desperate Hoodwives and Shameless Hoodwives and Hood Tales by Meesha Mink and De'nesha Diamond and OMG those books were very captivating. I even had a couple of my male friends read them and they loved the books. So I was expecting something like that with this book but was I greatly disappointed. I was I could give it 0 stars because that is what it was worth honestly. This book made no sense to me at all, and at the end I was just in complete disbelieve that I just wasted a couple hours of my life reading this garbage. I will never read anything from this writing again. That is all.

This is by far the worst book I've purchased in the past 12 months. The little book series is generally speaking quite good. I was in a hurry when I purchased this book. I was taken by catchy title and the brief description about growth investing. It's nothing more than an advertisement for his website. I lost count how many times Navellier refers to his website. Towards the end of the book, the quality becomes even worse and the book becomes nothing more than a step by step guide on how to use/navigate his website. I should have read the review on Amazon first! Don't make the same mistake, save your money and use it for something else!

This is a terrible book! I bought it used for $19 and I think I should get my money back and then some. The author clearly has never been in the wilderness without a motorhome and a generator. I suppose if you know absolutely nothing about wilderness self-reliance, you could learn a thing or two, but even then I would not recommend it to anyone. On the front cover of the book it has a list of things the book supposedly covers, and one of them is "constructing shelters", and let me tell you there is not one damn thing in this book that even remotely talks about shelter building. I even looked in the glossary, and there isn't even the word shelter back there.
 Honestly if you have internet, (which you most likely do if you are reading this) you can find so much information on the subject of wilderness self-reliance AKA survival on youtube.com. I mean books are great and all but as long as you have internet, youtube is free! Even Dave Canterbury (from the discovery show Dual Survival) is on youtube.com.

Dear Potential Buyer, the original LDS companion guide is more than enough. This book is poorly written, has serious publishing flaws in its texts and is not worth the money or the time. In addition, the author is not reputable in his field. Run far, far away from this book! Do not buy!
