easy to read...not worth paying for

Several sentences are very weirdly phrased and several recipes have steps that are not very well explained. Additionally, some recipes will call for "1 can" of something but not listed the size of can needed. I would not pay anything for this book. I think it is nice to have some new recipes, but I would only get this if it were free.

Additionally, the author of this book was paying people for five star reviews. That is how I became aware of this book.

Okay, I'm just going to put it out there.  This book is NOT worth the inflated price.  There is really no need to OWN this book.  If you have access to the website, then you basically have this book, in a nutshell.

The best thing about this book is the short novella between Bella and Zsadist. But even that's not worth the cost of this book.  I actually read the short story at Barnes & Nobles.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of nice extras: deleted scenes, brother's stats, questions and answers from the Warden, and even a picture of what the old language looks like.  But, (and I kinda hate to mention this) it feels like a ripoff, because she used to post these things for free on her website.  And that nice section for wannabe writers: Suzanne Brockmann DOES give it away for free on her website.  As a matter of fact, she gives away free Readers' Guides which has short stories about the present characters, even ongoing stories about favorite previous characters before each of her books are published.  And if you don't have access to a paper copy of Suzanne's Readers' Guides, you just download them (for free) on her website.

If you must have this book, and most cellies (like myself) "must;" wait until you can find it second-hand.  It is NOT worth the price.

Easy to read, but asinine (the best developers are low-skilled but motivated...  right) or silly (analysis of meeting psychology that can't possibly apply beyond one company).  Read Peopleware again instead, or take a flyer on some less popular book.

It was enjoyable and easy to read this book, but for me, who am reasonably well read, there really was  nothing new.  I don't regret buying it and hope to pass it on to someone who is clueless.

I read this book in about 15 min. Good, easy-to-understand information, but felt that I paid $10 to read something I might have found on the internet. It's way overpriced.

This book says nothing, new or otherwise, that anyone needs to read. The author tells her own story of choosing to live very simply because of the outcome of a custody dispute. She turns out to prefer a minimal lifestyle (to the point that she sleeps in the living room so her daughter can use the sole bedroom in their home) and makes her living writing these little essays so that she doesn't have to work outside the home. Admirable for her, but she offers no insights that may benefit anyone else. This is simply her diary, and not a particularly good one at that.
There are many important reasons to live more simply than most Americans do, that should have been addressed in a book like this. Sadly, the author is out for a quick buck and nothing else. Wasted opportunity for her; wasted dollars for the reader.
I am glad I paid nothing to read this - it was a kindle free book.

First of all, this book isn't 90 pages. It's a lousy 74.  After I finished reading it I felt thoroughly gyped for the amount I paid for it. More than 13 dollars for 74 pages? Gimme a break! And this book is actually 19 dollars retail price!!! If the book had cost me 1 dollars I would have given it 3 stars because that's what the common sense advice in this book is worth. 1 dollar! I've read 10 times better books than this that gave better advice, cost less and had more pages. The content in this book has been covered by other books that are far better like the Go-giver.  I suspect the positive reviews from this book are friends or contacts of the author or something.  I thought about buying this book earlier in the year but my intuition told me not too. Lesson learned: Don't ignore your intuition.  I now realize to be a savvy book buyer you have to look not only at the over-all rating but the number of people who reviewed this book. Only 11! Are the reviews long with paragraphs or just a short review with just a few sentences? If it's short that means to me they didn't commit to the book or probably haven't read it even if they gave it a disingenous 5 stars or not.  Does amazon let you peek inside the book at its content? You don't have that option with this horrible book.  This book arrived on April Fool's day and take it from me. If you want to feel like a fool you will buy the book.

I had been looking forward to this book, but when it arrived, I thought someone was playing a joke on me.  The first thing you'll notice about this book is its size.  At a mere 65 pages, the book looks more like a pamphlet (see photos).  For those readers who may have forgotten their reading glasses, you'll be relieved to find a 14-16pt font in addition to the 1" margins.

Sadly, the content isn't any better.  At no point did I feel like a was reading "insider" information.  It was like reading bullet points of obvious information.  Avoid wasting your money on this one.

Simplistic, not worth the price of the book. I can find the same tips, cheering and advice anywhere online.

After all they hype people give this book, I expected an amazing science fiction book. Instead it was just okay and a bit short; the ending felt unsatisfactory. I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy books and this just wasn't on the same stage as LOTR, Anne McCaffrey, Dune...etc. I definitely would not recommend spending your money on this edition, it is way overpriced (if you must go to the library.) I think this book might be more enjoyable for someone who doesn't regularly read science fiction and see the crazy plots that conspire.

I also think this book is way overpriced (I'm blaming the publisher not Amazon....I generally hate expensive kindle books but I understand for some classics like LOTR why they are set that high.) It is a pretty fast read, so spending 13 dollars seems like such a waste. I am a fairly fast reader, and this book took me only a few hours. If you really want to read it like I did to see why everyone talks about it, buy the book or go to your local library.

Well, at least it's easy to read.
Everyone and their sister has been telling me this is a must-read, and I'm left wondering why.  The writing is weak, the character development nonexistant, the "suspense" not at all suspenseful, the dialogue hokey with *italics* all *over* the *place*, and the plot not terribly engaging.  This novel could have been condensed into a 50-page short story, and nothing would have been lost.

Great value, but I didn't find the book useful at all. I'd read an excerpted/reformatted article in a magazine that made me think this would be brilliant for helping budget while getting healthier foods. It wasn't. Easy to read, but the information isn't anything profound or new, nor do I feel that Watson offered many tips or alternative shopping locations to readers. It's basically a checklist/to-do style format that anyone could create on their own by Googling or simply price comparing. Not worth it!

You can get the same information off the internet for free... but if you want it all in one leaflet.. buy this... but paying what you pay for it is WAY overrated!!! Just being honest (and perhaps coming off as passive-aggressive).

This is an extremely basic book, even for a dollar on Kindle. I really didn't feel like I had to read it at all to learn the "secret" to getting what I need and want. Save your dollar and use common sense...

I just downloaded this book through kindle unlimited 2 minutes ago, and I have already finished it. The book consists of a cover page and a paragraph directing you to the author's blog. That is it. I followed the link to the blog, and I can assure you that the book's title is an exaggeration. It was annoying enough that I wasted my time with this; if I had paid the $9.99, I would be irate indeed.

This book IS NOT worth the price. I believe it was an ebook turned into a book but it's still formatted as an ebook. Therefore the references to "links" or "click the link" throughout the book is redundant. The black and white photos, which are few, are heavily pixelated and quite small. The layout of the first book (Green Smoothies) was weird and hard to follow. The information presented was very basic and common. You don't need to pay $17.00 to find out that Green smoothies are "good for you."

A chapter is only half a page so on a lot of pages there's just two or three paragraphs then on to the next chapter which leaves A LOT of white space on each page because the book is really big. Each recipe is considered a chapter individually instead of one chapter with all of the recipes. No big deal, but again, awkward. The photo on the back cover is pixelated and still has the watermark going through the photo.

Author uses "we" and "our" a lot but I thought it was only one author and not co-authored. Her thoughts are all over the place. There are no subtitles that separate topics. Everything is kind of thrown together. The author also glorifies the words "skinny" and "skinnier" such as, "become the manager of your Skinny Delicious Life." I don't want to be skinny. I want to be healthy overall. I know skinny people who are very unhealthy.

Other than the above, there was a page or two with information that I enjoyed. It just wasn't enough to justify the cost.

Can you say extremely basic and vague?  I can assure you, you can learn much, much more simply buy spending a little time on a few crowd funding websites.  Save your $8.99 and your time.  Nothing worth reading here.  Definitely not worth the paper this book is printed on.
