There are a couple of chapters in this book that makes one say "oh no, oh no" but stick with it. Tom Bodett sees his characters much as James Harriet sees his characters. The reader will laugh, will cry, will find himself pulling for the characters, saying "don't do it, don't do it". And when the book is over you will wish that it would go on and on.

You only need to read the first two chapters to get the point (which was informative to my satisfaction.)  The rest of the book gets a little scattered so pick and choose what you feel like reading chapters 3 and onward.  Skim it or find sections through the index for what you'd want to read further on.
But if you have a queue of other books you need to read, then I suggest you rent this book from the library, only read the first two chapters and move on.

Not my normal type of book but I got within the first couple chapters

Although there are a few chapters where I felt otherwise, for the most part, I kept getting the same sense reading this book, as you would if talking to someone who likes to listen to themself.  After a while, you're crying "enough already!"  If you like to read Gierach or Middleton or someone of that style, then I'd go in another direction than this title.  Mr. Gaines seems a little too caught up in himself in this book.  When he gets away from the narcissism, the book is not too bad, but those points seem to few for me.

The beginning chapter or two captured my interest, but then the story became too "coincidental" in the subsequent chapters.  As with many inexpensive books on Amazon, this is a tease to buy more, but I didn't want more of the same.

A few paragraphs were stretched into long chapters.  Most contents are general topics in parenting although the book has a very attractive title.

The first few chapters were okay. I believe the later chapters contain better information.
Someone very familiar with handguns may already know much of the info. Contains some good tips.

I read a few chapters of this book years ago. I thought it was going to be a fascinating read, but essentially what the stories recount is people who become possessed because they did not accept strict Catholic teachings - this includes a priest. I realized the author was trying to scare the reader into accepting strict Catholic teaching out of fear that he or she might be possessed if he or she does not. When I say "strict Catholic teaching" I'm talking about on a very arcane level not basic doctrine.

I gave this three out of five stars because it was a quick read. I hate it when authors publish one chapter at a time and expect the reader to buy the next chapter and so forth. It gives me a sense that the authors do not have faith in their writing or they are just publishing chapter at a time to make a quick dollar. I will give it some thought before I decide to purchase the other two chapters or recommend it to people.

I read Chapter 13: How to Understand the People and the Context in Which you will be Working?. I found the chapter to be not as useful as I thought it would be. The first few topics had a lot of examples that seemed like they were added to make the reading more entertaining, but they were confusing and unrelated. One helpful thing in the chapter was a list of links to websites where Graduate School scholarships and other awards could be found.

I've been one of the big Bernstein fans for years and miss him.  This book has some good chapters to explain the history of mankind's use of gold.  I readily admit that the chapters don't seem to coherently fit into the whole.

Well thought out short chapters, but a bit "preachy" for my taste.

I've listened just a few chapters. It has some interesting points, but in general it sounds too "self promotional" for my taste.

There are some cute pictures in here to color and the numbers go beyond the basic red, orange, yellow, etc.  However, I am somewhat disappointed in this book for two reasons:  1.  The pages are not perforated.  2.  The pictures are back to back.
I will solve these problems by carefully removing the pages and copying them.  That way if I make a mistake I can start over.  I'm not harming copyright because I don't share the pages with anyone for any reason.

For the most part this book is fairly well written with the exception of a few chapters at the end.  The first half of the book offered the majority of what I found to be useful information.  The second half however, seemed  to shift away from the book's focus and on to something else (mainly  motivation). All in all not a bad book. See if your library has it before  buying.

The first two chapters are great, but Conley's ELSEWHERE USA fizzles
after that. He acutely portrays the modern madness that surrounds the
typical family in the USA and contrasts that powerfully with his parents
and grandparents lives. The book, however, loses steam the closer it
gets to the end. Conley has no real solutions and his habit of creating vocabulary gets a little  stale. But, for its insights, this is still worth reading. If I had the option, I would have given it 3.5 stars.
