I am just not sure about this guy.

There were times when I was reading this book when I thought he was right on and other times I did not have any idea where this man was coming from. I do agree that there have been many times in the past (and present) when Christians have not always acted properly in the name of Jesus, but he makes it sound like every aspect of historical Christianity is wrong. I had the feeling as I read this that I was listening in to a preacher who uses his sermons to beat people over the head with the Bible. Furthermore what is the deal with this Greco-Roman theme throughout the book? I have never heard of such a thing and have no idea where he came up with this. I was never taught and have never taught anyone to look at Scripture backward through the eyes of philosphers and hopefully get to Jesus. The Bible from beginning to end always points to Jesus. I also think his rendering of John 14:1 and following is really, really off base. He has taken historical Christianity, that Jesus is the way, and thrown out the window. I do not remember him stating universal salvation, but he clearly comes very close to espousing that view.  This man's view reminds me of someone who grew up in a very, very legalistic Christian household and now instead of taking the good things from that upbringing he is saying all of it was wrong. Of course we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. That is the essence of the Christian message and it is sad that there are a lot of Christians who do not do this well, yet there are a lot of people in other faiths who do a terrible job of loving people too. That is the nature of sin, of which Jesus came to save us from. While I do like the way he states that Jesus followers need to be more about loving and taking care of the earth and the poor I do not like the way he makes all of historic Christianity into some massive fraud that we have all been misguided into believing.

I dunno, all these type of things don't seem to work as well as I expect.  Maybe it's just me.

I hope he keeps making music. He has a great voice and I do enjoy his music. However his music is a bit amateur in his coming out CD. I will keep looking out and buying his music though because he has great potential.

I like his voice very much , but he needs to be more artistic in his sense of phrasing, in my opinion.  Maybe his accompaniments don't afford him the opportunity.

This guy has managed to appear stuck in a rut and be all over the place at the same time. I'm on page 76 and have leafed forward (I rarely *ever* do this) in order to find *something* to peak my interest. So far nothing. If he had gotten to the point a bit sooner, maybe I wouldn't be returning the book to my library in the morning. The two reviews on the cover are way off the mark and I'm wondering if maybe he "owed" his publisher a book and this one happened to be laying around somewhere, unfinished. I'm glad I didn't buy it for the Kindle.

I have met the man, spoke with him several times.  The person displayed on the internet and to public, id quite different from the person I know.  From my view, he is all about himself, could care less about others unless it puts a dollar in his pocket.  He used to be a minister in his start up church, but left them after less than 5 years, to chase dollars in private sector.  Look at his web site, its all about turning another dollar to him.  In San Clemente, he built a hme in a long time, well established neighborhood, and screwed many out of their ocean views, stating, "I paid alot of monery for this property, I want it all".  And "I want to maximize my view from every room".  When questioned about screwing his neighbors who have been here for generations and others for many years, he didn't care.  I was all about him.  A self absorbed person, who is about making money, and fails to show any compassion  to his neighbors.  The public persona seems quite the opposite of the private one.  Look at his website, it's all about making more money, selling items like a hukster on some middle of the nite program.  No jerk magnets, T-shirts, hats, ect.  One should really ask, is he helping me, or helping himself ??  Then he wrote/[enned a second book "How to avoid marrying a Jerk", which according to other comments is pretty much similar or nearly the same as his first book.  Seems like it was written and produced for more money for himself.  Be careful of what you buy, as in this case, the real person is worth a closer look.

Too hard for me understand what is he trying to say.

Guy finley seems to ramble on without coming to a point. I listened to the first 5 cds and was still puzzled about what exactly he was talking about. He seems to work himself into a lather about inane issues. I didn't get much out of it. But, that's just me.

He is a very good singer, but I  think he acts like a big flirt to me. Maybe I'm wrong.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this wasn't my favorite book.  Does that mean I don't understand it?  No.  I do understand the character and what he is going through.  I understand that he trying to maintain a bit of his childhood innocence and has trouble coping with the phoniness and weirdness of adult society.
However, his rambling really did become unnerving at times.  I actually know someone who still talks like this in his late 40's and I can only handle it in small doses.
The dialogue does ramble on & on at times and I found myself shaking my head.
I'm glad I read it and I think it is important but I do not think it will be for everyone.

Talks about himself to much.
 This guy is in love with himself.
As a attorney he sure don't show me anything.
I would never hire him for a attorney

I have seen Peter in person, I paid hundreds of dollars for his videos, and I bought this book. And I don't feel very good about his methods or his teaching. He is not organized, and seems to talk on and on, and at the end, I don't get much out of it.

This guy confuses getting rich with being somebody. I found myself disliking him as a person, however useful his ideas may be. He doesn't appear to be somebody I could trust, if there wasn't anything I could get him that he wanted.

Don't get all mad at me people...I like this guy.  I was one who totally thought he should have won.  However, he said after his loss that he was glad he lost so he could do his own thing.  This is not what I thought he was going to do.  This is middle of the road Pop Rock.

Other than the last track on the cd, this is a pop-rock record through and through.  It's essentially Bo channeling Bon Jovi.  It's good but it's not great.  There are some good tracks and some bad.  Is it radio ready...ABSOLUTELY.  This will sell.  Hopefully Bo will do his thing next time.

I was hoping for a new Will Hoge or Black Crowes.  Maybe it's my fault but that's what he did on the show.  If you are looking for that then wait for the new Will Hoge that is released in January.

Bo is a good singer and I like his image.  This is just not the cd I was hoping for.

Not sure how I feel about this story. I can go on & on about a big jerk football player & an indecisive, & overly analytical college girl who can't say no to sex. I didn't feel the connection between those two. Some things about this novel just didn't add up for me. To top it all, I discovered there were other novels in this book I borrowed. And there was no way I was going read them. One was enough:)
