Quite good. Basic information for those of us who are or who started out as accidental project managers.

A little too heavy on the exposition.

Dystopian novel that examines class, wealth, and what we're willing to for and to those we love.

I felt rather manic-depressive whilst reading this book. The author pissed me off multiple times because I was sure I knew what was going to happen next and then something entirely different happened which left me full of wonder and surprise.

All in all a total delight with just a few rough patches that kept it from being a five.

Excellently researched reference book with cocktail recipes thrown in. The Mamani Gin & Tonic on pg. 238, a blend of gin, cucumber, cilantro, with a skewer of cherry tomatoes, sounds intriguing.

I'm not the age demographic for this book...but I thought it was exceptionally well written and great explanation. I will go back to this book many times, especially around the tax strategies.

Ugh!

Atticus the badass druid and Oberon the funniest Irish Wolfhound you'd ever want to meet return in another fantastic novel revolving around keeping their little part of AZ protected and safe for their magical community. Of course their community consists of witches, druids, vamps, and weres.

But not everyone wants to play nice so Atticus and the local lightly dom coven merge forces to kick some evil demon and wicked witches of the west butt.

Did I mention that Atticus promises to help kill Thor...ah but that's the next installment of this thoroughly worthwhile series.

Sexy, action-packed, well researched, and hilarious this ones a winner!

“The Art of Racing in the Rain” by Garth Stein is told from the point of view of Enzo a dog of indeterminate heritage who longs for opposable thumbs. It is his memoirs of auto racing, life and love with his human companion Denny. I'm not a big car racing fan and sometimes books with animals talking are too, too precious. Not this one. I alternately laughed out loud, blubbered so hard I couldn't see the words on the page and the most ugly part was when I wanted to find a couple of “evil twins” to smack because I got so annoyed with the “villains” of the story. In short, I give it two paws up!

I used to devour SF and Fantasy but haven't read much of it in a long time.

So here are my prejudices:

1. It's first printing is in mass market paperback. Now I KNOW this is snobby but usually I figure if a book is not in hardback or at least trade paper, first then it can't be terribly good.
2. It's a fantasy genre book. Ick, I don't like that anymore.
3. Did I mention I have odd snobbery tendencies?

WHOA! Am I ever glad I changed my mind. This book was just right from start to finish and I want more NOW! Hearne (a most excellent last name for a book about Celtic mythology) punched my ticket perfectly. The language was fun. The story was tight. The Irish Wolfhound who has a thing for French Poodles was hilarious and spot on.

I will definitely be waiting for his next book. I hate to admit it but I think Mr. Hearne has opened the crack for me to get back into this genre.

Rarely do I gush but this latest book by Chris Guillebeau is exceptional. In my lifetime I've read literally thousands of books and I have to say this is one of the best, both from a practical viewpoint and the story. It is captivating and inspiring. Rarely do i ever re-read a book, but I'm starting this one again tomorrow and applying the principles. This should go on your bookshelf along with other classics such as The Richest Man in Babylon. It's that good and infinitely applicable.

The creator of Dilbert gives spot on advice.

My only concern was myself at times when I would fall back in “BS” mode and go, “come on he's just a cartoonist.” By the end I decided the cartoonist was pretty much a Renaissance man. Also full of information on systems which has been coming at me rather serendipitously recently.

Well worth the read and I've already benefited from some of his ideas.

Overall good book but found myself skimming a lot after the first few chapters.

Excellent book on getting unstuck. Want to read it again as I know I missed some great points.

Good spooky novel.

If you are looking for a how-to you really aren't going to find anything different from what is already out there. If you enjoy a memoir it's passable. For the most part it was well written and I finished it but it didn't excite me, inspire me, or make me want to remember more than I already do.

First of all there is nothing that is particularly helpful or engaging about this book. Second I won't give anyone who has their dog killed because he is old and they can't figure out what to do with him any credit for anything.

Hearne does it again. The badinage between Atticus er Riley er Sterling...whatever the main character decides his assumed name will be for the day...and Oberon, the wisecracking, keeper of the dozens scoring system is spot on. The story is fast, the plotting is tight, I'm generally in love (at least puppy love) with this series.

Trying to read some books that I missed as I was growing up. I should have let this one remain a mystery. ick.

Delightful, er actually disturbingly delightful pictures of stuffed animals that have been maimed, blinded, and dismembered all in the name of Dog E. and Kett eh lovin'.

Also the first book that I've ever seen which had a recipe for fried squirrel.

So I guess three stars is not a bad rating. I'm just disappointed with Mr. Hearne's latest entry in the Iron Druid Chronicles. Some parts were good...but Oberon wasn't up to his usual caliber and the mad dwarf story was several pages of blah.

I'm going to believe that this book is perhaps foundational for something even better.

An interesting but ultimately unsatisfying book. Gives several descriptions of people who have found their element. That's all well and good and very nice for them but I was looking for a bit of instruction to go along with the biography.

Solid investing advice.

I didn't care for “Sh*t My Dad Says”. I didn't think it was funny. I didn't think it was well written. This one however is great. Great writing. Good jokes. Lot's of fun. Enjoy

I don't give a lot of fives but this one eked it's way over the edge. Everything about it was near perfect!

For Project Manager's and Sharepoint apps users...this is good stuff.
