I ordered a book written by christine feehan and ended up with a book about FEY!! Amazon won't even allow me to return the book for my money back. I was lied to about the product that I was purchasing. The book was not even close to what I ordered!!

It's not really what we thought it would be. It does have some recipes but it includes a lot of other things as well. I guess we made the mistake of not reading the full description and thought it was full of their recipes. Our Bad

Don't read this if you want to be surprised.
I was very puzzled with this book. Comparing physics with sociology. One thing I was sure of going on, then soon it will be toppled. There are humans aliens, robots, androyeds, ships that are sentient, a solider that is given a mission to death and a mission to destroy the whole civilization. A geniuse compose that is stuck on his ego. You may want to do some home work. There are many types of existence in this book. And one should google them if you don't want to be lost the way I got. But over all, its a new experience. And after you give up trying to understand everything, it seem to become a fragmented story that almost contain some wisdom.

Not a Steven King book, you can see by the poor reviews. Amazon should not be allowed to market this by tricking shoppers about the author. You have to read the entire description to see its misleading, and even then its not exacltly made clear. It should be made more apparent it is not the original author that many readers are familiar with.

Don't buy this book if you believe psychology has more answers than the bible.

Don't buy this book if you believe that when Christ said, "It is finished," He didn't mean it.

Don't buy this book if you aren't willing to give up your own pet beliefs if the bible clearly declares them false.

It's interesting that the two dissenting votes that are listed about this book are people who want to follow some of the false teachings this book (and the Bible) speak out against.  (Just read their bios!)

Why are Christians living on the same level as unbelievers?  Why can't they handle their problems any better than those who don't know the God who created them?  Whatever happened to the "abundant life" Jesus promised us?  This book shows that the way it "is" isn't necessarily the way it "should be" and there are some very simple answers to the every day problems Christians face.

Does it bother me that the authors used BIBLE as an acronym to identify their type of counselling?  Not at all.  I think it's a good way of showing the difference between what they say and what a lot of other "Christian" counsellors are saying.  Sure, a lot of them say they are Christians, but you'd never know it from the way they counsel.  There are no differences between them and the secular psychological counselling that any unbeliever might do.  Shouldn't there be a difference??

To me, I see sound doctrine as the heart of this book and the center of this type of counselling.  I was fascinated by how the authors showed how every false teaching they cover is merely the same pagan ideas only said in a different way.

Personally, I learned much about myself from reading this book.  Sometimes I didn't like my toes being stepped on, but I know that God has used it in my life.

Sorry, I know how hard it is to write a book and I know how hard day trading is. But this is not the book you want to read. It's useless because all it does is tell you what to do, but there is nothing about just how you're supposed to do it. It's like the guy wrote a book on gardening and he tells you to feed the vegetables as they grow.....

This preview that is written about this book is wrong. It's about another one entirely. This book is a surprise , as the ending is not the usual one when the bad guy gets caught.

This book is a scam and it's being widely reviewed by credible scientists as being so.  Don't get suckered.  Read this: nutritionstudies.org/the-plant-paradox-by-steven-grundy-md-commentary

The book was not what I expected. The hints on the book can be found in Microsoft's white papers and chapters are too short. The part of Active Directory planning is very simple (the white papers of Microsoft are more complete). The concept of active directory is confuse and primary. The approach of OUs, group policy and delegation and security are very superficial and it doesn't give any foundation to implement this features of Windows 2000. The figures are too big (it looks like to fulfill pages and  for the book have more volume). The case study developed throughtout the book and the worksheets and forms provided on the accompanying CD don't help you to understand the concepts explained on the book.
If I can give you a little piece of advice, read the book before you buy it.

THIS BOOK GOES AGAINST WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BOOK.I BOUGHT IT FOR MY WIFE THINKING IT WOULD GIVE WOMAN'S PERSPECTIVE INTO THE WORD OF GOD.IT IS FAR FROM THE WORD OF GOD, AND BELIEF IN THE THINGS THIS BOOK TEACHES WILL LAND YOU IN HELL WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE ETERNITY TO PONDER THE CHOICES YOU MADE . PLEASE STAY AWAY.
JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY HIM.
HE LOVES YOU AND PROVED IT ON THE CROSS. GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM. DONT WAIT , TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME. WE AREN'T PROMISED TOMORROW. IF YOU RECIEVE JESUS YOU RECIEVE GOD IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU REJECT GOD HIMSELF FOR HE COMES FROM GOD AND IS GOD!!
BE BLESSED

Don't get this book!!  Having said that, this book has helped me to understand more things about myself than any other book I've bought.  Nothing like the mamby-pamby books that tell you to get in touch with your *inner child*, Dr. Phil comes straight out and tells you if you don't like your life CHANGE IT. He gives you the tools to look at yourself, and if you really DO look at yourself, and are HONEST with yourself, you can work on the parts of you and your life that bug you.
As to the reviewer who commented that Dr. Phil says 'everyone is accountable' and what about rape victims, etc., are you going to tell them they are at fault....NO! You missed the point! On page 65-66, Dr. Phil wrote: (about child victims) "What about things that happened to me as a child? ~~ I realize that certain realities, some of them horribly sick realities, are visited upon us when we are children.  I am not suggesting that, as children, we choose all of the events and circumstances in our lives...we are neither RESPONSIBLE (capitals are not Dr. Phils, but mine) or ACCOUNTABLE for being raped, abused, or molested. This is not what I'm saying.  What I AM saying to you is that while you may not have had the knowledge or power, as a child, to make certain choices and are therefore not accountable for those events, as an ADULT you DO have the ability to choose your reaction to those childhood events and circumstances...the past is over and the future hasn't happened yet."
Dr. Phil continues: "Is it fair that it happened to you?  No. Is it fair that you have to deal with that? No. It is fair that you have to live with it and manage it for the rest of your life?  No.  Are you nevertheless accountable for how you live with it and manage it?  ABSOLUTELY.  I suppose that your accountability is both good news and bad news.  The bad news is that the burden is on you. The good news is that the choice is yours."
I would think that the same advice applies to adult victims of violence. Dr. Phil's point is whatever you want to change, get it out in the open and deal with it.
As I said, this is a very good book; it's helped me and I will continue to use it. I'm also buying a copy for a family member.

What ppl don't understand is that you're never supposed to actually take things you read in books like this literally. If he says a certain investment is smart, or he made money a certain way, do your research and see if its right for you. Just like any book, the specific examples used are not as important as the message behind the book. I read all the criticisms of Robert Kiyosaki online, (just google him and the word scam). But to me its not about him, whether or not he has this or that, its about the fact that I his message is one that resonates with me.

I'm a business student in college and I really learned a lot from this book, not just about money, but about life in general. People don't know this book is more about life and how you choose to live: a slave or free. Many of the things he's saying, "don't work all your life like your parents, ect."are all things I have thought about, but this book really articulated the ideas well and re-affirmed it.

Don't buy this book if you literally want to learn to get rich, what you will get from this book is a good sense of the mindset you must be in to be rich. Its about being ambitious and thinking Rich, securing yourself financially so you can be free and do what you want. Would def recommend this to every and anyone, period. The bad reviews come from ppl who take the words literally and try to follow his instructions, go for the message, not the details.

This isn't a book for creationists. It isn't even a book for evolutionists. It isn't a book for anybody.

I haven't gotten very far in the book yet but the author has made it clear anyone who questions the theory of evolution--a theory even Darwin said would fall apart if living things should be shown to be "irreducibly complex"--is a dolt. He assumes people today are very different from howm people used to be at some undefined period in the past, but doesn't say how, or explain how he knows this.

The author also doesn't address obvious flaws in Darwinism/evolution, such as the theory is based on a fossil record that doesn't exist and life being able to spring out of nothingness.

In short, the author hopes to sucker people into reading this book by making certain assumptions and using his own definitions of words to alter the meaning of his opinion.

I'm not really satisfied with the book some of it is inaccurate which leads me to question the rest of it. It's not what I expected I guess if you are a rookie its fine but its not what i needed.

I would not recommend this book to anyone.  It pontificates in a grandiose manner, assuming you'll be impressed by the big words even though they say nothing.  If you are looking for a tutorial, this book does not walk you through the processes and sometimes even leads you astray without explaining or helping you through the errors.  It doesn't even tell you when you're working in a different database or where to go to get that database so you can continue to follow along.  It's not even useful as a reference book.  It will tell you a command and if the command requires a code, it just says you need a code.  When we did an internet search to find out more about the code, it was explained in one line.  Would it have made the book too long to add one more sentence?  As someone new to SQL, I found this book to be a complete waste of money and time.

I agree with all the poor ratings listed here - I had not read them before because I bought the book as part of a group at work where we would all be learning together.  We are all programmers in other disciplines and most dropped out of the class because this book is so bad.  It's funny how some of the good ratings here have to explain how you get around the problems so you can learn from the book - DOES THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING???
