Anyone facing challenges can benefit from reading this book; and by going to Oprah's web page and clicking on the interview with this author. His ability to SHOW and HELP readers understand the importance of becoming a self-observer it extraordinary. Even grasping the concept can be changing... but for those of us who have learned how to step back and watch our 'mind talk' and it's interpretations, it shows what IS possible.
Highly recommended as a MUST READ.... and re-read by picking it up and turning to a page and re-reading a few... do it again and again.... the material is concentrated, yet reads easily.. so much so that 're-reading' is important.

Wow, what can I say?

I don't know who suggested for me to read this. Thank you, whoever you are. Obviously, it was very important to me to read it as I did the full search on the library-site and then, when I didn't find the library's audio version, I downloaded the audible to listen while reading.

When I first began reading I was a little put off and confused by the use of "you" as if the character was talking to him or herself. I don't know if that was a tool the author employed or if it resulted from translation, or a combination of the two. Once I got used to the tactic I fell into the thoughts of each of the characters readily.

I think this is an important book for all people to read. It reminds us to think of the "back-story" of the people around you, that you love and possibly take for granted. As an author, I think of the birth and childhood and daily thoughts of my own characters to breathe life into them. But I think I should pursue the real people in my world. Even if we are in the same situation we see each other and the situation through our own filters. What don't we know of others that we never seem to find the time to find out?

This is a sacred book. I will have to buy it and read it again.

I am not going to give you a synopsis of each dialogue. What I will say is that this is easily one of the most important reads of modern times. Most people would say that if you are interested in the art of philosophy then this is a must. I am willing to go a step further. If you are interested in life and the social aspects of life then this is a must read. Therefore almost everyone capable should read this. If you read these dialogues, and I mean really read them, it will have a profound effect on how you view life and interaction. I am by no means a philosopher, but a political scientist. The only problem is that you really have to want to read it to get. When you are ready to commit, buy this book, read it, and watch your outlook on how you view life change before your very eyes. What makes this very book so great, is that you get all 5 dialogues for such a small price.

I found this book very easy to read and understand as it's messages are not hidden nor cryptic.  If my son were still a teenager this would be a must read.  For now I can just give it as a Christmas gift and hope he reads it so we can discuss its meaning going forward.  In the "Age of Entitlement and Instant Gratification" the messages contained in this book are so important that every teenager should be exposed to the learning's in this novel.  The life lessons in this story are presented in a multitude of ways reinforcing the importance of living this life as best we can and working hard for what we want and what is right - many thanks to the author.

This is an important book for any woman to read. It's a compelling read and while it will definitely make you think and is written for an academic audience - it's not too difficult or dry for a civilian to enjoy. I read it compulsively and it has changed the way I look at the portrayal of women on stage and in the media. I would recommend this book for anyone who identifies as a feminist, a performer, or fat and anyone interested in Women Studies, Fat Studies, Queer Studies and the study of any of the Performing Arts.

This is a beautifully written and important book for all to read. While this is a topic that no one wants to discuss, these are discussions that need to be had. More importantly, seeing the progression of this disease through the eyes of Alice will give you the insight and empathy that we all need for those around us.

This is one of the most important books you'll ever read.  I hope he comes out with a current update.  The technology occasionally gets pretty heavy, but the underlying message is crucial.  How come no one nationally is discussing this?

More than 50 years after this book was written, it still conveys an important message about one of, if not the, darkest chapters in history.  Every citizen of the world should understand its meaning.  If only this could be required reading for everyone, the chances of this happening again would be greatly reduced.

My only criticism is that Shirer is openly disgusted throughout the book when referring to its subject characters. He openly name calls in a manner that reduces the appearance of objectivity.  Given the beastly behavior of the Nazis, however, this tendency is understandable without impairing the message.
