It didn't really live up to its description. It was  more like a magazine article than a book.

This "book" appears to be more of a long article than a book.  Perhaps the authors got tired and decided to cut to the "They were born, they lived, they died" abbreviation of history.  Not worth the candle.

I purchased this magazine because I am trying to learn how to move into selling my art.  I am a first time reader, so I cannot say how this magazine presents itself in the long run.  I was somewhat disappointed with this magazine.  Many of the articles offered what I consider to be teaser information, that went on to tell how you could learn more about the topic by purchasing the book offered by the writer of the article.  The author seemed to be connected in some way to the magazine.  I don't feel that I really learned much from the articles themselves.  On the plus side, the magazine did feature articles on people who are making art a business and how much time and effort it really takes to make a living at selling your work.

This is a magazine not a book. Its full of ads from the author and his stores products. This is not a how to book! Its just growing info/stats.

The cover is much more interesting that the book. Most of it is badly re-hashed newspaper articles that were of little interest.

Did you ever read a book and feel like you are in one of those conversations where you find yourself looking around for an escape? That's how I felt about this book.

I thought it would have been great if they'd written it for a magazine, but they added a lot of filler to justify its "book" length. All that did for me was make make me look around for some other book.

Full of interesting facts, bit not terribly cohesive. There is no real depth to the articles, it kind of reads like a magazine.

Not worth it, found better articles in other magazines that were more interesting and entertaining.

This is an article not a book, I was expecting a book not 20 pages

This is well written, but more of an article than a book. A lot more could have been done with it, such as looking at CK's character in relation to culture and the history of stand up comedy.

I am a huge fan of Dr. J, having spent many a night when I was college watching him play (when I should have been studying).  I should say that I am a fan and not an expert on Dr. J or the history of basketball.  I enjoyed the book because it gave me some background on Dr. J and his rise through the basketball ranks.

The book is a very quick read and is repetitive at times.  It basically reads like an extending magazine article.  There is a lot of fluff and the author is not that great of a writer.  He states that he is a huge fan, and there is nothing wrong with that.  But, I do wish he would have toned it down a bit.

It also seems like he relied a few interview sources and he didn't seem to do a lot of researching to see if what they said was accurate.  Also, Dr. J did not participate in the book and his absence does show.

I would wait until the book hits the remainder table or is in paperback before you get it.  It is a decent read, but Dr. J deserves better.

This is basically a collection of magazine articles. Not bad though. I would say it's worth the buy but it's not a whole, full book.

It was nice to glean bits of interesting places to go in Beijing, but otherwise self-indulgent.  And felt a little cheated as this was a compendium of magazine articles, rather than a book.  Not sure that was how it was presented

Seemed sensational and one quote after another from the newspapers of the day. More like a gossip magazine than a good book

It was a well written, but seemed more like a single chapter rather than a book.

It's a book filled with short stories and magazine articles. Most of the book seemed to center around romance and feminism (the crazy man-hater kind), so i wasn't very compelled by it. Do books like this really need to exist with all the media we have easy access to today?

Cool articles but it's a very thin magazine and contains lots of ads
