Not worth paper it is written on

Typical warranty subterfuge.  Purchased it for 3 years, but Assurant did not honor the claim.  My GPS device broke after a year, but they would not cover it.  Save your money and don't bother to purchase.  Most experts advise that extend warranties are a waste of money.  Alas, this experience proves they are correct.

It's basically an informative power point. Not an actual book; It's a waste to publish this and waste so much paper and ink on it.

Not very helpful

Wasted my time reading it, very little useful information to take from this book.
They could probably make this a 10 page article

I could have written a better book myself. This book is nothing but sparse worthless advice that could have fit on one page but, is instead spread out to fit a terribly written book. full of worthless pictures, and double  spaced type to fill the pages of this most uninspired "book".

This is poorly written and essentially worthless.

I couldn't finish reading it. It's not written like a manuscript, more like a newspaper article, with the "sources" being Matesa's friends. There are no real suggestions about exercise, let alone any routines, the checklists mentioned on the back cover for each chapter are somewhere in between nonexistent and not useful, and the author, whom I believe is in her forties, often sounds like she's trying to be, or appeal to, a teenager.

This books reads like a terroristic Dr. Seuss novel. Picked it up on a whim and after over 20 years in the field I was disappointed that a publisher even wasted the time to print this drivel. Gave it to another friend who just basically started his own design business and after he read it. His comments are as follows: It reads like Chinese stereo instructions and is not worth the paper weight it has to hold down a dirty napkin.

This book was so bad it's not worth me writing more than a warning to not throw your money away buying it.

I fell for the gimmicky title, thinking that this book would be funny and original, but it is soul-crushingly boring and poorly written. It reads like an eHow article. There are no ideas in this book that aren't either common sense or better expressed elsewhere. I wouldn't have been happy to have read this even if it were free. Save  your time and money.

I'm not saying this isn't an interesting book. I very much enjoyed it and I marked my copy up. But it's VERY short and the VAST majority of the printed pages are copies of someone else's writings that you can get for free on the internet. Pages 9 through 83 are the content of the author (that's 74 pages). And then pages 85 through 199 (that's 114 pages) are copies of very useful texts, but things in the public domain. His original writing is VERY repetitive and basically a summary of the printed texts. It's somewhat useful. But CERTAINLY not worth the amount of money the author chooses to charge (it's self-published, he did choose it).

Based on all the hype, I was actually going to buy this book. Hardcover. At the last minute I bought another book and borrowed this book from the library instead. Who says God never interferes? He saved me from wasting money on an utterfly forgettable book. Now if only I hadn't wasted the time to read it.
This book is bad. The manner in which it's shaped makes it hard to care much about the characters, and the bits of the book the 'author' in the story is writing not only are unpleasant to read don't add anything to the overall shape/feel of the story.
Honestly this book in terms of actual quality deserves one star. It's a poorly written book heralded by the literati, because it's form was unique, but they forgot the basic premise of any piece of writing: to SAY something...this book doesn't say anything. I only gave it two stars because the form was interesting even if the author's writing didn't match up to it.

I couldn't get through this book. I have studied the English language and write for a living. This book was written as though no one proofed it and the author self-published it. Some of the comments the author makes are insulting. It reminds me of conversations I had with my 70 yr old father about child rearing. He was very out of touch with the times. This is also directed at women as though we all stay home and our male partners have no involvement in our childrens' lives. Skip this book and buy something written for the current times. Sure you can pick up on some techniques, but you can read that all for free on babycenter.com without being spoken down to.

Badly written old thing, produced by the same syndicate that mass produced The Hardy Boys, etc., etc. Simply not worth your while unless you are doing research on either that syndicate (Wikipedia the author's name to find your way to it) or the waste of paper in the earlier 20th century.  One star awarded only because Zero stars not possible, it seems.

I really hope that the author reads the bad reviews on this site because that way he should easily figure it out that he is not meant to write books. It's sad someone let him publish one but it's never too late to stop. I was looking up free books on my nook and I came across this. Just by looking at the title anyone with a common sense can tell that it will be trash. One who would give a title like that to his book already has problems. Now I have to agree with some of the other people who say that this is not a book. It's more like random sentences somehow put in some order and then written down. Like if someone took some random notes of a persons life and then wrote them down in the order of events.. It is almost unbearably dumb. If I didn't know better I would assume that it was written by a 10 year old child who is not very good at creative writing but has a homework to write a book and he has to produce something so he doesn't get an F. The story is not the worst but I just can't see how the author or anyone as a matter of fact thought this was even worth finish reading. I can't even finish reading it. It's almost not even worth free. I wish I was paid to waste my time reading it and even then I would not do it again. And I only got through less than half of it. This is the kind of book that I would expect someone write after waking up from a coma that caused severe brain damage. Please if you value your time on earth do not read even the title.

simplistic, poorly written and repetitive. It's not worth the money I paid for it.  I missed the fact that it was less than 100 pages long.

These folks, whoever wrote this are probably well meaning, but this "tract" is poorly written and extremely simplistic in their advice.
The syntax in the writing is awkward, suggesting that the author is not a native English speaker.  Also, the advice is so
simple that it seems hardly worth offering it as advice.  For instance, suggesting that you uncover yourself at night when having a
hot flash and then covering up again when it is over-who hasn't figured that one out if you've had a hot flash?  It is simply poorly done with regards to the writing and the suggestions.
Buy it if you want to waste your time and money.

I skim books and read reviews before I read them to see if they appear worth reading. This book appeared to have little science or analysis and to be badly organized and full of irrelevant material and repetitive. I don't doubt that the author's main point is worth writing about but I don't think this is a good book. That is unfortunate because it is an important topic. Many books don't have much meat in them and are really articles that have been extended into books for whatever bad reasons. I assume this is at least partly due to the publishers. There are far too many books being published and far too few good ones.
