What a stupid book.  I have come to the conclusion that I don't like this author's writing.  Indeed I have had to return some of hers that I purchased thus far.  Her way of writing is horrible and boring plus the plots are stupid.  This one is by far the very, very worst, so much so that I cannot finish reading it.

I had heard this book recommended several times so I started reading it enthusiastically.
I soon realized that the authors believe the reader is not only ignorant of the subject, which is okay, but stupid as well, which is insulting.

If you think Fruit Loops are good for you and read at a second grade level, perhaps this book is for you.

A note to the authors: Darwinian Evolution is a theory. Referring to it on virtually every page as a proven fact does not make it true.

I thought that this was one of the most stupid books I ever read.  The plot stunk.  The history so faulty it was laughable. The characters were boring, underdeveloped and tedious.  The riddles were the most ridiculous and predictable.  The conclusion....ho-hum.
Don't waste your time

I can't say enough how stupid this book is. Not Ben's writings.  Not the drills themselves.  It's the configuration of the book itself and is totally the fault of editor/publisher, although if Ben himself saw how this was done and allowed it, well, I just lost respect for him.

Let me explain.  This book is a series of drills, many of them.  They all follow the same template, a picture of the drill and then instructions on how you run the drill.  Here's the unforgivable error.  Each picture and each description are printed on the same piece of paper. What this means is you look at the picture, flip the page and read the instructions.  You frequently have to look back at the picture. So you're flipping the page back and forth eternally, on EVERY SINGLE DRILL.  Ideally, the picture would be on the left page and the instructions would be on the right.  It could have been incredibly intuitive. Instead, it's incredibly annoying.

Dumb.  So incredibly dumb.  Amazingly dumb.

Why did I bother spending money on this book.  It's ridiculous and the author should be ashamed of himself.

The premise was stupid, and the overall book concept and presenrtation was assinine.  I would not buy or borrow another book by this author

Stupid plot and characters. Don't waste your time

Stupid book which I bought because I did not pay attention to the fact that it is not part of the "Boundaries" series. It is full of obvious suggestions and contrived examples. Such a waste of time!

This book could summarized easily as "stupid".
One reads all only to see what level of stupidity is reached,
It is not even funny.

This is perhaps the dumbest, most idiotic book I've ever read.

Let me elaborate: NASA chooses a bum, excuse me, an 'economically challenged' person as their first astronaut to mars. There needs be no further description.

Dumb.

This book was assigned for a summer reading project to my child's school, a Aerospace and Engineering magnet school for 6-8th graders who range from urban to rural living. My son is the latter. I read the book to check it out before trying to get him to read it. First of all, why would a predominantly male student population ranging from 11-14 ever want to read a book written as a journal written by a teenage GIRL? Hello? Can you say "EWWWW" factor when she starts talking about kissing her BF or getting her period? My child's school's stupidity aside this book is POORLY written and lacks realism. My biggest issue? This family lives in the country in Pennsylvania. Miranda often refers to the WELL water they drink. Despite not having electricity, the WELL water somehow magically flows from the pipes in the house. ALL of my children immedicately hopped on that one. "But mom, you need electricity to run the well pump, everybody know that. We don't have running water when the power is out..." DUH. There isn't any mention of Miranda using a hand pump so I am guessing the author inferred the new gravitational forces of the realigned moon somehow gets the water to flow by itself? And exactly how does an asteroid knock the moon out of orbit but then the moon magically realigns into an orbit closer to Earth....it's not really much of a believable story. I also don't agree with the liberal views this author soaks her book in, given this book is my child's REQUIRED reading for the summer. Her "stupid" President is loosely and obviously based on "W" Bush. Her protrayal of the Reverend who is a bit on the cult leader -like side and Megan's obsession with God is offensive and not something a public school should be delving into. I would like to caveat my disgust with the fact I am agnostic, but accepting of others beliefs. The way Megan is portrayed as -well -clinically insane really, and the Reverend as a gluttonous fraud is just not necessary in the story line. This book is a waste of my $5.99 and I highly doubt my son is going to want to read it except to point out all its scientific inaccuracies. Oh, and the ending? Weak. Really stupid and weak. If no one else has food, how do bags and bags of food appear at town hall??? The rest of the country seems to be in worse shape then Pennsylvania yet there is cans of chick peas and tuna flowing like manna from heaven. I think the world would have been a better place if the authoress had gotten West Nile and been too ill to write.

This book is just stupid!

**Spoiler**
Here is our "hero", a normal guy, well, with mental powers, chased by the goverment that want to execute him. And when the finally catch him the want to make him leader of the world - just like that....
And on the moon, in a cave (ofc. in a cave...) he tumble over an ancient spaceship - which is in hibernation and he wakes it - fair enough :)
But the ship, just out of nothing, grant him a shield so nothing, i mean nothing, can harm him and a gun that can kill everything and everybody, everytime, everywhere....

The earth is attacked by the mighty evil alliance - suddenly our hero is a strategically mastermind with a lot of military knowledge - only the author know from where, becouse he don't tell us... He have friend that is leading the newborn marines, becouse the human race have been peacefull for several centuries and that friend is fighting a loosing battle, with hes leg broken 4 places etc. etc., but refuses to get treatment, tell the medic to, ohh crap, you know the rest.....

Suddenly our "hero" see they are loosing the battle, and he arrives on the scene, take the full barrage from the 4000 enemy solider and there heavy artillery, but he have hes SHIELD! so no damage, at all, whatsoever. And he fire hes magic gun (which is a part of hes hand, when he think "gun"...) and kill most of the alien army..

For some stupid reason i actually bought book 2 - and i feel ashamed...
In book two the are taking the battle to the enemy (ohh, i forgot, the human fleet also have super-shield, gee, surprise!) and at the first talk, the enemy, which have killed MANY human, suddenly is an trusted ally - i mean, the talk like 5 min, come on!!

I have read a *lot* of Sci-Fi books, i have also read a lot of them that is a little off, but i really cant remember anything as bad this is.
Its a shame, becouse the first part of the book actually were allright - but the last part of the book ruined EVERYTHING - and book 2 is the same crap.

And last, sorry for my english - my main language is danish.

Last, go read Omega Force ;)

This book reads like a transcript of a class conducted by the author. It's just stupid. Also the author somehow expects a layman reader to understand firearm nomenclature. Most of the time I had no idea what he was talking about only that a particular gun was 'defective' in his opinion. Maybe the people who praised it are all gunsmiths. Waste of time.  July 30, 2016 .I need to change my review and apologise to Mr. Belk. I decided to read it again. My mind must have been somewhere else the first time. Now I can follow it pretty much. The shenanigans pulled by Remington are pretty scary. It's unbelievable there is no agency that investigates defective guns like they do cars. There are no Remingtons in my safe.

This has to be the dumbest book I have ever read.  I still can't believe I wasted my time reading it.  I kept hoping it would develop some redeeming qualities, but it never did.  Not only was Lacey the most stupid and bungling person you could imagine, but she wasn't even funny.  Nor was the rest of the story.  This book is a slur on women in general, as evidenced by what Lacey and her best friend Meg did, but it probably was also a slur on the Mafia (though it's hard to imagine that).  I don't object to poking fun at people and things, but this book was so absurd that it wasn't even funny.  Save your money (or, if you got it for free like I did), delete it from your Kindle and save yourself a lot of misery.

The premise of this book was the seven deadly sins. I not only did not get a feeling of the deadly sins, I got the feeling Ms Evanovich decided to write a stupid book to see if it would sell. I don't doubt that it is selling because people love her lighthearted reading. I love her lighthearted style myself. I don't, however enjoy watching someone make fun of the art of writing in order to see just how stupid it could be. The setting is a bakery where people apparently eat cupcakes by the bucket. These are some of the characters and their famous lines:

  Shirley, stuck with speaking in tongues, is the stupidest, silliest, most boring character to ever find her way into a book. I will tell you something she said, but later. For the most part, what she said was not worth reading or your time trying to visualisz her.

  Gwen, who is not even struck with speaking in tongues says, "facaca". Is that a word? I spell checked it. No help. I have no idea what it means or what it was doing there.

  Diesel, the main hunk. Obviously unable to think up a name for him, she took one from a movie star. Diesel? Anyway, the main female character, who seemed to be struck with gluttony (but, only from time to time and for only certain things) is handling him erotically. His answer is, "you are scaring my boys." My boys? What a crock!

  The main female character, whose name I don't even remember, wonders what it would be like to stick her finger in an open jar of peanut butter while Diesel handcuffs her. Give me a break.

  I would have to place this under a newly named genre:  Ridiculous Pap. Or, as Shirley says, "icky, wiggle, wiggle."

  To give credit to Shirley, she said the only thing I liked in this whole book. On page 86, she speaks up and says, "Fruck". I agree, totally.

This 'book' is ridiculous and stupid. My review may contain spoilers

I read this book via kindle unlimited and it is so bad I feel I should be refunded for my time.

The h almost instantly tells the the H that she doesn't sleep with football players and what does she do a few moments later.

The H has an ex that out their daughter in hospital and is a drug addict, what does he do a few moments when after not seeing her for years - talks about how he is attracted to her.

The H daughter goes missing. What do h and H do - have sex just after finding out and than again in the way to find her.

Amazon should not publish anything by this writer again if this is the sort of rubbish that is going to be written
