| In spite of being the best-selling living British author, and one of the most talented, most hoidy-toidy types pigeon-hole Terry Pratchett away in the ghetto called "fantasy humor". So a very large number of educated people have not even heard of him, let alone give him any space as an author of English Literature. This is in spite of writing some of the most truth-filled and life-filled three dozen books you'll find in a bookstore. Perhaps Nation was Pratchett's conscious decision to address ... Read More: |

| I do not like to write a long review either...so just to say this is a fantastic book if you can digest Scott's style (maybe a good advise is to simply ignore his sense of humor). |

| Having been hugely happy with Blink! I went out and purchased The Tipping Point almost right away. It, like most the other books I purchase, sat on a bookcase dedicated solely to books-yet-to-read until a few days ago. And now it shall be moved to its permanant home on a different bookcase. The point of all of this is that The Tipping Point is a well-researched, highly interesting, and unique book. The problem is that it, like Blink!, doesn't stick (see book for details). It's interesting but doesn't have the ... Read More: |

| Anyone with any interest in education or fighting poverty should read this fantastic book.
Tough gives great background on thinking on poverty and education, and its evolution, over the past 50 or so years. HCZ and Geoffrey Canada challenge some traditional liberal views (mine included) about the dangers of charter schools and the importance of labor unions in all areas, including education. Definitely a thought-provoking read. It's clear we have a truly daunting task ahead if we really ... Read More: |

| I would very much like to offer a complete review of this title. However, despite it being listed as in Large Print....I can not read it which upsets me to no end. Large Print books need to be in Large Bold Print so vision impaired folks can at least have a decent crack at reading like a normal person. I really wanted to read this book as it is quite inviting....but it will be a very slow process. Good luck if you have any kind of serious vision problem |

| foot-note boy is a dud.
The essay about a cruise ship is not funny, not well-written and speaks volumes about the immature personality of the writer. His much touted powers of observation are nowhere in evidence. Hunter Thompson and Tom Wolfe did this sort of thing so much better. |

| What many reviewers have not mentioned is that, despite the serious subject, the author is a very entertaining writer.
For instance, on post-WWII industry in the US: 'Like flightless birds on a predator free island, American companies had no defenses when hungry and hard-eyed competitors finally came hunting from overseas' The author also provides a very good description of the financial instruments that got us into thiscredit hell. I know have, at least, some idea of what a synthetic CDO is, or, hopefully, ... Read More: |

| This book is exactly what we needed! My 8-year-old daughter and I just finished reading it together and it was a perfect way to introduce her to puberty and all it entails. It is written for young girls in a way that doesn't talk down to them but is also completely appropriate for girls 8 and up. I appreciated the discussions about the emotions and difficulties girls face during puberty, beyond just the "facts." My thanks to the authors! I will be recommending this to all of my mom friends who have girls. |

| This book is one of my most precious and cherished books. I believe that this wonderful man has written the clearest and most inspiring book explaining what creative genious' we all are. I loved his research, his ability to inspire, his remarkable ability to communicate and his enthusiasm which leapt off each page. We are far more powerful than we ever realized and we have the absolute ability to change our lives by merely changing our thoughts and emotions. Of course once you've read the book you are left with the question...how do I change my subconscious ... Read More: |
