I wasted my money on this book - there is nothing new in here and most of it I already know.  I will put this on sale on Amazon . I don't recommend this book for anyone wanting NEW information!

The ONLY reason I finished reading "The Casual Vacancy" is because I purchased it as soon as it came out - i.e., the "new hardback" version, and didn't want to have completely wasted my money.  I expected SO much better from this author, but was horribly disappointed.  With any good, enjoyable book, I can stop at most any point & know there will be something exciting to get back to.  In "The Casual Vacancy", I had to search the entire book for just one paragraph which called me back to reading.  Sadly, I found none.  My recommendation is - SKIP THIS ONE - entirely.

I've gotten as far as chapter 7 and there is next to no usable information.  In less than 40 pages it attempts to cover servlets, filters, and event listeners.  I regret spending the money on this book.

When the book arrived, I could only read the first two pages. However, that is all it took for me to realize that this book was a waste of my money. I wish that it was not too late for me to get my money back for this waste of paper! I would not suggest anyone purchase any of her work; it is best to get it from the library, so you don't waste your money!!

I wasted my $$ on this book! There is nothing of substance here and it is written at a high school level - probably around 10th grade.

In MY opinion, this book is a waste of money.  I wanted histories of people experiencing past lives.  To me, this is
fluff.  I DID buy it, looked forward to getting it, and was very disappointed.

This is one of the most useless books I have read in recent times. It hardly has anything to offer. Sometimes I wonder why it was really written at all ...

This book is divided into four sections ...

(1) How to buy/rent a house?

(2) How to invest in the stock market?

(3) Trump's consumer guide.

(4) Apprentice: Behind the scenes ...

The "buy/rent" and the "invest in stock market" sections just seems useless.  The advice is pretty much lame ... "buy house in good locality.", "buy the best house you can", "delegate responsibility of investing to Investment Gurus", "Invest (100 minus your age) in stocks" etc. All in all, nothing new. I wonder if Donald Trump really wrote this book or just OEM'ed it?

The Trump's Consumer Guide clearly brings out the shallow, superficial nature of Donald Trump. All the "best of the world" seems to exist only inside the Trump Tower. It clearly exhibits the "Frog in the well" thinking.

The final "Apprentice: Behind the scenes" section seems like pure filler. The sole goal being to promote Apprentice and to glorify himself. Donald Trump mistakenly seems to be taking credit for Apprentice's success ... what a loser? :-)

All in all, this is an useless & worthless book. Don't waste your time reading this book!

The title says it all.  TOTAL FAIL! Between the errors (when edwards parents died/he was transformed) to all the empty spaces, I am super pissed that I wasted my money.  I will never buy another book from Gina Meyers or whoever she is.

Sorry, but this book was a total waste of my time and money. I sure was expecting more but that wasn't the case.

I'm extremely angry with this book. Up until page 166 we only get to see William Wallace as a teenager. I was eager to read about the battles of Stirling Bridge and Falkirk - the reason I bought it - and as I couldn't take much stalling anymore I skipped to the end of the book to see how much more I'd have to power through. Guess what? The battles aren't shown in this book! It ends with the murders of Wallace's wife and children where it should have started! I'm incredibly disappointed and I just found out that the battle of Stirling only appears at the end of the third book. So how long until we reach Falkirk or even Bannockburn? Twenty books? The Forest Laird was a waste of time and money, it turned an amazing subject into a boring read that takes you nowhere.

In my opinion, this book is a complete waste - of money, time, and woods chopped for paper used for printing.
I was about to start implementation of my first multiplayer engine and was looking for a decent source to start from (I am an expert in general game/engine programming). Searching amazon.com I found "exactly" what I was looking for - "MultiPlayer Game Programming". All excited, I plunged into reading about ... the styles of Windows dialogs, the importance of WinMain function, the C-wrapper of Windows Socket. Send functionality, and a C++ implementation of the same wrapper in a SEPARATE chapter!!!
I would not comment on the language the book is written - "confetti falling, and Bill Gates and Steve Jobs starting to dance..." If the book were good it would have passed just fine, but in this case it just makes me furious.
All in all, I highly recommend NOT to buy this "masterpiece". I wish I could get my money back. I also wish I could rate it with "-1" stars...

I downloaded two of these guides by the author and neither of them have any patterns for the projects shown. In fact, it's just a bunch of wasted time I've invested when there's hundreds of other amazing pattern books to be looked at and saved. There's no 'how to' in this book at all. I'll be steering clear of this author's books in the future.

Rare, but it happened that I felt like I completely wasted my money on this book.  I couldn't warm up to the fat and foul-mouthed Verna.  I also couldn't buy into the professed indecisiveness and insecurity of a Navy Seal.  I do not recommend this book.

This is too basic; below Marketing 101. There aren't any new revelations here. Sorry I wasted my money.

Boring -- Don't waste your money folks! I thought I was going to read some great things in critical pedagogy! The title should have been "...and unfocused rantings." She tries to make these "words" or "phrases of wisdom" and all they are is nonsense. They are so high falutin' I didn't get it and this is my favorite subject!!! or were they just stupid rantings. I can not express how terribly dissapointed I was. I'll never pick up another book by her. One star is the lowest I could go, if there was a 0 rating I would have used that!
