This was not an informative book if you are looking for something from a mental health professional. She is not and does not claim to be a psychologist. There are plenty of tips on eating healthy food, exercise, yoga, socializing, etc. Not much about how to get over your ex or the feelings of loss. The book is repetitive and choppy. I did not find it helpful

This book, however informative, is not written in a manner which everybody can understand in the same way. Personally I find it very difficult to read as it jumps back and forth instead of going in a linear fashion, and the subject seems to change entirely mid-page. I am reading this book for a college course (I'm an animation student, not a history major) and I would only recommend this book to people who are fascinated by history. Otherwise, it probably won't make much sense and you'll be confused a lot. I've had to re-read it several times to make sense of the chapters and still have a very minimal understanding of it.

However, I'm sure most people looking for this book are either interested in the history and will have a good understanding upon reading it, or like me, are a college student who has no choice but to read this book, leaving my review useless really. If there's any other reason for buying this, I can't stress enough how difficult it can be to read.

This book was not my cup of tea, I did not even finish it. I thought the book would speak to me on a practical level instead it goes on about history and its effect on LGBTQ people. The book should rather have been titled something else.

I must admit, I didn't read the details of the book when I bought it. I don't think it gave away anything about what I should have expected. I thought the title already told everything I needed to know about its contents. For anyone who's interested, the book is more of a brochure on the insurance industry. IT IS NOT AN ACADEMIC BOOK. If you want to know how the insurance industry is run from underwriting, to investments, to claims investigation and to paying-out liabilities, please find another book to read. This is definitely not the book for you. This is more like a telephone directory with colored graphs.

The book is very basic, if you are looking for detailed knowledge, it is not the book you want to buy.

As others have noted, this is not the kind of book that I imagined when I ordered it.
Given the title, and the cover, I expected that this would be a book of schematics and technical details on each of the ships, atleast for the federation.
It is actually a coffee-table styled art book with very little text.
A lot of the artwork is nice; however, this is probably not what you are buying the book for.

I guess I didn't realize what kind of book this was.  It is more instructional.  Didn't care for it at all.

I'll begin with admitting that I stopped reading this book after 40 pages & have skimmed thru the last 20 to make it only to page 60 before giving it up. I don't care for his style of writing. It seems to me to be more of a "look how good I am without a god / toot his own horn" type of book. I expected the book to shed light on "how" an atheist finds meaning not how the author himself has found his. If you are looking for a book discussing ways for someone to find "meaning" and self help steps to try this is not the book. It is (the first 60 pages) a book about the author. I have not read his other books and in this book he refers to his other books & quite often says...."in my other book" & then says he explained it there & won't explain it here. Well I didn't read them so either don't mention other works or incorporate the previous text into the new text. I stopped reading. This is my take on what I thought I was purchasing & what I got. Maybe I misunderstood the "meaning" of the book all together. You decide.

If you are looking for clear alphabets to begin and practice, this isn't the book you want. It's quite technical and informative but not for the novice at all. I was disappointed.

This is not a book for anyone who is actually looking to find out anything about what happens at Army basic training...I purchased this book hoping to get an inside look at basic.  The book talked more about making friends and having fun than it did about drills, formations or any of the actual physical training one would encounter.  The book is written on a 2nd grade level at best and should not be purchased by anyone who is looking for any kind of pertinent information on the Army whatsoever.

This wasn't the etiquette book that I was looking for; returned.

This book is incredibly not student friendly.  I get the feeling it is written more for teachers, or maybe someone who understands the material.  It is very hard to read and understand because it uses complicated wording, instead of conveying the info in an easy to understand manner. I feel like the author wanted to impress the reader with the complexity of the material.  I don't recommend this book if you want to learn the material.

The book was not written in a fashion to make it easy to read. It felt like I was reading a technical manual rather than informative textbook. In some instances, if felt like the information did not apply to the subject. In other areas, it was written in such a way that the point was not clear.

Hey if you're looking for something significantly different than the status quo (which is actually an exceptional approach) then this may be it. For me I was looking for something that was a bit more traditional and widely used. If you know this going in then this may just be a 5 star book for you...but not this reader.

I didn't like this book. I though it was a little boring. I bought it at the bookstore, and after reading the back, thought it sounded good... it says something about the woman has a dark secret, darker than murder?!?! Well, I figured out her little secret before the author tells it, and I thought it was pretty stupid and obvious. I won't tell you what it is, in case you go ahead and buy this book =)
But I guess I just got the impression that this book was going to be more of a mystery, and it was more romanic and historic, two subjects I am not fond of reading!! OH WELL.

What I didn't know before purchasing this book is that it's supposed to be used in conjunction with someone teaching you about the content. THIS IS NOT A STAND ALONE GUIDE. Given that it is not a stand alone guide, there isn't that much information. Just a basic outline and verses for you to look up. There is NOT a lot of commentary or instruction.
