Good read, summarized the main thoughts of the original book very well. I would definitely recommend this book and the original.

A good interpretation of classic stoic literature. Some assumptions made in the introduction that expose the author's narrative on unrelated topics. Presented in bite-sized chapters which removes some of the stodgy feel of the original text and uses more modern prose.

Very good for what it is: the original horror novel. Have there been better horror novels since? Absolutely. But you can probably trace its roots to this book, no matter the content. Worth the read!

The book was an interesting read, it was broken down in such a manner that was easy to follow. Book does a good job of getting to the important facts and covers all of the important thoughts of the mentioned philosophers.

Good Read for all you people stuck in the RAT RACE. Really gives a good opening perspective on how you should go about creating wealth. Doesn't have very detailed examples of what Kiyosaki actually did, but instead more general theories or beliefs you should follow. Anyways, I think its a good read that most people should pick up.

Very good read. Good personification of the seven deadly sins with good quotations from the bible. Feels almost like a Final thesis paper, without boring you to death. Definitely worth the $2.99 on the kindle. I can see myself reading this book from time to time, just to refresh my ideology of its content. Took me approximately 2 nights (4 hours) to finish it, so it's a relatively short read. I read at an average speed, but the terminology is very simple to understand, even when I'm 80% awake.

The original sources provide thoughtful insights without dragging the reader into the original document too much. The pace is quick enough for a casual reader.

Did a good job of detailing the various origin of life theories and then using Occam's Razor to present what he feels to be the most plausible.  Sometimes a little difficult to follow his reasoning, but just takes effort.

Overall, I really liked this book.  The opportunity to gain insight into the differences and similarities between the two big free-market schools of economic thought from one of the premier insiders in the freedom movement makes the read definitely worthwhile.  I disagreed with some of his conclusions.  In fact, I thought the cases he built in some of the chapters actually should have led to the opposite conclusion, but it is, after all, an opinion piece and not an objective study.  As an Austrian, it is difficult to hear that being right is not always as important as fitting in...but that seems to be the case.  I would recommend this book as a good primer for those who have not pinned down their philosophical loyalty.

Iris Fry provides an excellent summary of origin of life theories and research.  In a somewhat journalistic style she briefly revisits the early "thought leaders" and proceeds to show how orgin of life theory has progressed to the present in keeping with advances in scientific knowledge of molecular chemistry and cell biology.  She covers the current schools of thought, supporting research, and major players of the naturalism community without taking sides.  This is an excellent resource for someone who seeks a general understanding of the state of origin of life science and its future challenges.

Great book with some interesting thoughts. Simple read. Got through it in 30 minutes. Maybe a bit to much on personal opinion.

Very good explanation of what went down in the first couple of centuries of the common era. Written for the general reader so you don't have to have a lot of background but of course it is useful. He has articulated and put together what I have thought for awhile.

This was a decent book as far as factual history goes.  None of use ever know the complete truth when the stories come from a today's author regarding a person in a much different area.  Things get changed or distorted, Even Charles Darwin has always been a controversy and sometimes pure misunderstanding of what he was trying to do/prove.. He created the Theory of Evolution, which these days we tend to butcher exactly what he was trying to say. He also composed revolutionary "On the Origin of Species", and went on a five-year voyage of scientific discovery. It a good read to rediscover and even learn things you thought you knew that maybe weren't exactly what he was trying to say.  This is a must read for the history buffs out these and the kindle version is an easy 90 pages, very quick read.  I did reviece this book at a discounted price for my honest and unbiased review.

I was going to buy the original book but after reading it's reviews decided on this summary. One review said it was too long and could  "be summarized on 50 well written pages". Another said it was repetitive (which I find an annoying waste of my time).

Among other gems, this summary described the modern ways to motivate employees. Everyone knows the carrot and stick is a bygone era, but explaining why and what is better makes this a good read.

Had to purchase this book for a class, and enjoyed it. The book was an easy read, and the length of the chapters were nice, and not too long. Reinholz makes some interesting points, and make you think about certain situations and concepts that may occur in your life.

Good read. Covers a lot that the true fan has already heard, but from the Man himself. We'll not see his like again.
