If someone is truly interested in this breed....here is where to start and finish. Comprehensive without being overly wordy. Written with wonderful descriptives laced with true Barber wit and yes, there are pictures for illustration. This is for the newby or the long time owner. It should be a must read for anyone considering adopting or purchasing an iggy.

Don't believe the end is coming anytime soon.  Nice to read and good to keep aware of all possibilities.  Most of us will be around to see if this is just another ploy to sell books based on fear.  It is easy for government etc to cause things to happen to suit their desires or plans, especially when "the herd" becomes convinced of an outcome.

It is so sad that a child must follow in the footsteps of their parents when it is not a good thing. A cycle must be broken so the future generations don't follow that same broken path. I work in institution and this happens. SHowed it to my group and they too said it was good and message was loud and clear. If you are going to follow, follow what is good and will get you somewhere.

This very readable book is positive and empowering, and is a book for everyone to read!
Bullying has an insidious impact on a workplace, and all too often, good people leave their employment because of the destructive ripple effect created by bullying, not being addressed.
We all need to understand why bullying happens in our workplaces and the practical strategies we can put in place to help create a healthy supportive and empowering workplace culture.

It is always sad to come to the end of a series, after 4 books, this crew are my friends too. Maybe someday they will be back. But in the meantime this one is quite the send off. Galloping thru life as all young families do, the girls have been lucky. Able to continue their friendships, supporting each other. Good good read. Don't miss out.

I hope this is a good prediction for late life and terminally ill  patients.  Needless suffering and expense need to come to an end!

For New Age readers, this book will seem like the Be All and End All. Those of scientific mind (who are into Quantum Theory, Quantam Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and String Theory) will read this book only grudgingly, if at all. Should they do so, they will surprisingly discover that the process presented in all the flowery prose is just what they believe in : that we are part of everything, and everything is part of us.  The science crowd will be STUNNED that they and the New Agers have THAT concept in common!

Now for the too much,and not enough, parts. Ms Kagan says the book is the culmination of communication with her brother's spirit and that she is just relaying his comments. Giving her the fact of communing with her brother, the language/prose is too flowery, "dainty",star struck and feminine to come from the mouth of a man who led the wide and varied kind of life attributed to him. That man would not suddenly start sounding like Ru-Paul. This language could cause a diabetic's sugar level to blast out the top of his/her head. TOO MUCH.

Given that I believe firmly in the premise of this book, it is a message that should have been presented in a tone of voice accessible to to people at every level. Not only to the crowd the average citizen might sneer at as "scarf wavers and  incense burners." Because the idea behind the book us so important, it would also have been important to have been presented in such a way that no one would be embarrassed by being caught reading it.  NOT ENOUGH consideration for the potential width of the audience.

I gave Billy Fingers four stars because it has a very important message. One I believe in. Reading it was a struggle for me. Only 191 pages, and it took me three days. ( I kept needing time-outs)

This is a great book and one every I.T. professional must read. It had me laughing through the entire book. Well written and to the point. It's definitely an accurate look at the world of I.T. and all of the really funny things in it. Would make a great gift for that hard to buy for I.T. person in your life.

Frankly it seems like every few weeks there's a new article about how the smartest people in the world now live in Silicon Valley, and work in the business of creating technology addicts. Everyone seems to have the same advice.

"Put down your smartphone."

I really appreciated the way this issue was framed through the lense of attention. I've tried the "put down my smartphone route", and frankly thought this would be more of that. In the end Can I have your attention? is more about getting what you want out of life, whether at work, at play, or at home. Nice treatment of a common place social issue.

Since we are having more and more incidents of people(men) killing others, this is very relevant for the times.  Especially, sports figueres who are doping with extra Testosterone.  The rage factor for this activity is causing a lot of death and distruction.  Autistic-Asperger people who have had a rotten life with abuse in their families and no proper training on how to get along with people can become "evil" but not more so than Alcohol Syndrome or Schizophrenics.  It is a facinating subject, this book.

Who doesn't remember their heart wrenching coming of age experience? This story reminds us that even the Laceys and Margos, the pillars of popularity, as well as the Bens and Quentins and Radars, have to trudge through a mass of clues on their way to self-affirmation. Once again, Green reminds us that strong friendships are the only way to survive such a journey.

Its the old adage that all good things must come to an end and from what I have heard this is the end of Sam and Jory's story so I read it with a different focus.

A few years have passed since the incidents in Bulletproof.  Sam and Jory have a family of a boy, Kola and a girl, Hannah.  Jory works from home and is the heart of his family while Sam now is in a supervisory roll as a Federal Marshall for the Witness Protection Program.

Though it seems that Jory has grown into a responsible parent and spouse, there is still the propensity for being a trouble magnet that would leave lesser men than Sam and Dane running away fast.  Just trying to get through the everyday things of life, Jory gets into trouble.  But it is the trouble that things from Sam's past bring that tests them once again.  An enemy and an ex (yes, boy scout Sam ended up having an ex) bring danger once again both to their lives and to their marriage.

The plot felt most of all like one big wrap-up.  It was the 'what happens after the happily ever afters' for many regulars in the series.  I just love it when an author does take it past that so we can see our favorites living out their dreams.  Naturally, there is suspense and intrigue thrown in to keep it interesting.  I noticed the crossover secondary character, Duncan, from the Acrobat book and it was cool to see how he played into this story.

I enjoyed this series so much that it was a bittersweet moment to read the closing page.  It will probably end up being a re-read at some point in the future because I enjoyed it so much.

it's good, just keep in mind your users and cell carriers.  Different cell carriers means not everyone will be happy.

I have had to deal with similar family issues. I feel the same way, that somehow these people are ultra-intelligent, and super sensitive, which somehow makes them not able to deal with the world. I could never keep up with the constant rescues/ interventions like the Hines did for their daughter. The truth is, I have my own problems, and worry about myself. I am sandwiched between 2 generations plus, of mental illness. I don't think I'm in a good position to be the one to help. I have found even less public support with my loved ones than the Hines did. I am overly depended on by those who expect strength from me, that I just don't have. The book was very good in explaining that people who look homeless, crazy, defiant, and even criminal, may actually be highly intelligent, and come from good families who have tried to help. It is a testimony to what these families can go through, for years, with no end in sight. You are not alone. The Hines did everything they possibly could. And still, it's heart-breaking. Let the world, particularly employers of families who are dealing with such things, realize that although everyone has stress in their lives, it is not all the same in the level of impact. If I can still do my job, get off my back about being tired for God sakes. I have a reason to be tired. If my loved one had cancer, the community would pull together to support me, even donate their days off so I may take them instead... not so when it comes to mental illness. Not so at all. No compassion what-so-ever. The book may help people understand. Unfortunately, those who read it are probably the ones who already know all about the problems and its impact on families.

I believe Gods purpose for us is that He created us diverse and its through the diversity that we see the creator.  Just like in an autumn forest we see the trees and its leaves which are different sizes, shapes and colors but each one enhances the beauty of creation itself.
Gina Humber's book Its All Good is a wonderful and insightful dialogue that addresses the endemic issues of our present day and holds clues to a peaceful and joyful society on love and acceptance for everyone. Dr. C.L. Standford

The street life is a bitch you and then you die. The good thing is you never have to choose that life over family. Family come in all did breads,some are good and some are bad,choose the good side of life and in return the good will come. The book was great keep up the good work.
