Dogbert's Top Secret Management Handbook (Abridged) Audiobook

" She get a lot right. "

" Not like his other books-more of a thriller than a comedy/mystery. About 3/4 through the book I had guessed at some of the ending, but his writing is still highly enjoyable. "

" I love, love, love Kenneth C. Davis' books! Always educational and entertaining! "

" Very good introduction to the war. Davis does an excellent job of outlining events from much earlier that led to the conflict. He has a firm understanding of topics and explains in such a way that the completely uninitiated would have a good understanding. "

" A stand alone thriller from the writer of the Andy Carpenter series. A lot of twists and turns in the plot..you're never able to guess what is going to happen. A really good story, but I missed Andy. "

" Readable and interesting presentation of the why and what happended in the form of snapshots and anecdotes from the participants to make their character come alive. "

" Good book on understanding both sides of the Civil War. It also gives a timeline of other events going on at the time & really personalizes the war. If you've never learned much about the Civil War this is the perfect book because its very easy to read and full of rich information. "

" Well, it was hard to decide how many stars to give these books. I usually read Ann Coulter books for the information that she presents with her hilarious voice. This book is more of a compilation of her notorious punchlines/comments. So, there was less actual political information in it, but it was very entertaining and a fast read. It was very fun, but if you want to read Coulter's very best, you should definitely read "Treason." It is one of the most eye-opening and interesting books I have ever read! "

" Taking quotes from other books. She phoned this one in. "

" Good intro to the Civil War. Explains the background, major conflicts and results in a way that almost anyone could understand it. Includes many quotes from famous people of the era, but incorporates them into the narrative. "

" Wow!! What an intriguing story this was. It had you guessing who the bad guy was the entire time. I really enjoyed it. I would've preferred less vulgarity, but other then that I enjoyed it. "

" If you are a fan of David Rosenfelt's "Andy Carpenter" series, stick with that!!! I love that series and have finished all nine so I thought I would read one of his stand alones, bad idea. The story wasn't bad, but it just wasn't up to par with the Carpenter series. No humor, no character development no love for his environment (as far as hometown is concerned) and no love of sport. There was the love of dogs but that was about it. Stay clear, and stay with Andy!!!! "

" I absolutely love anything by Kenneth C. Davis. His history books are great for getting a solid grasp on main ideas, as well as giving you fun insights on old info lost in school. "

" Sweet love story, original, believeable, somewhat "dated", but I enjoyed the plot and the characters. "

" It was ok.....good easy read. The ending was rather amateurish. "

" Doesn't contain much that a true Civil War buff wouldn't already know, but the format makes for easy, bite sized, read-it-when-I-can entertainment! "

" Sneeked this book from my mom's book stack when I was about 14. It was my first grown up romance and ohm'god! There was no going back to teenage love stories after this one! It's true ... you always remember your very first! "

" AMAZING! Ann Coulter goes straight for the jugular! "

" If you are a liberal, you will hate, hate, hate this book. If you are conservative, you will find this book hilarious. I laughed out loud several times and couldn't put it down. My only criticism is I would like to have had more narrative and less quotes. I am curious to read her other books to see if they have more narrative and also to see what else she has to say. A fast, entertaining read for a libertarian or conservative. An abomination for a liberal, no doubt. "

" This was an interesting mystery. I don't get into the political side of things much, but is was interesting nonetheless. "

" Top Class "

" Sosok tokoh utama cowo'y keren,udh cakep suka anak2 lg jg sabar kya'y.cowo ideal bgt deh.. "

" An interesting read about background facts of The Civil War. Easy to put down and pick up again later. "

" Excellent and practical book on how to actually set boundaries with someone without cutting them off or giving in to manipulation "

" I enjoy Coulter's rants because they're based on research and facts, however, I feel she'd have more of a receptive audience, if she weren't so abrasive in person and on paper. "

" Really 3.5 stars. Most of the story raced along in typical Rosenfelt style - a touch of humor, a touch of menace - put the end seemed a bit too perfunctory and left me with a few too many unanswered questions. "

" Good book for just learning basic facts. For example, the difference between a canal and a fjord. A canal is man-made (think Panama, people) and a fjord is made by Mother Nature. Plus I just like saying the word "fjord", Pronunciation = fee-yord. "

" I really like this book! It is a great collection of Ann's best quotes. "

" I had an older edition, which took away from the reading somewhat. Many countries mentioned are no longer. But the geographic information was sound and interesting. "

" Hilarious. A must read for every executive. "

" I really liked this book as steamy romances go and Sean was delicious. However, there wasn't a whole lot of substance to the story so I'm giving it a 3 for that reason (in spite of how much I enjoyed reading it). I will be reading more Sandra Brown in the future. "

" Same as her others. i don't go to the discussions as most people who disagree with Ann hate her and can't seem to stay calm about it. Me? I like her. "

" Now all has been made clear! "

" is this a duplicate listing? "

" Good bathroom book, if you read in the bathroom... "

" this book was a page turner right from the first page..i couldn't put it down ... another knock out of the park for Sandra Brown "

" Considering the fact that I'm rather young.. this book was amusing. The storyline was fairly basic but what kept me giggling in the middle of the night were the hot steamy sessions. However, I do admit that it was a very enjoyable read and it's a nice book to read after a long day. "

" As always with David Rosenfelt, an excellent read and great plot line. "

" I checked this out in hopes of solidifying my knowledge of the period, which has always been somewhat mushy. The book is a good overview; it's readable, factual, and avoids numbing military detail. I'm still not sure I'll remember it, but eh. "

" This book is very interesting and taught me many geographical facts I never learned. Two flaws are 1)although the book has been reissued, it has not been revised (it stops at 1992) and, 2) a lack of maps. "

" I'm pretty sure they spy on big oil for these stories. "

" Got bored. Gave up. "

" A very quick read and enjoyable. I gave it an extra star since the author owns 27 dogs. That gets any author an extra star. "

" A good little intro/review to the Civil War. "

" Davis has several out in this series. This one does a good job covering the whole mess about our late loss! Try for the paperback or find a "like new" copy at your used book store. If the South does rise again, what will I do with all these Federal Reserve Notes? "

" This book is very funny but I don't think it is beneficial to read. If you gain anything from this book besides laughter, it will probably be a more cynical attitude towards all of society. "

" I am really torn on this one. I love finding out any information on the Civil War but this book had a very argumentative tone that put me off. And then I was unsure if this information was actually factual. I couldn't wait to get to the end so I could read something else. "

" *** REVIEW TO COME *** "

" I didn't like this as much as another book of his that I read, but it was still decent. "

" I'd owned this for a long time before I finally read it. It was a mostly-interesting survey of geography, but nothing that made a huge impression on me. "

" i think i know some managers who actually use this stuff. "

" Offensive and hilarious - the best combination! "

" Don't know what it is but I enjoy these mysteries quite a bit. Oh, wait, it is New Mexico I love! Everything else is standard mystery I guess. "

" Really good book,had me laughing all day! "

" A non-series book for this author, but a good thriller. "

" Damn so hilarious, yet brings out the satire and the truth about the organisation paradoxes and stupidity that exists in the corporate world. Very humorous and everybody who reads it would not deny the facts written as satire and mockery are indeed true! "

" This book has an easy-to-follow format. Each section is really a question that gets answered; it's easy to read a little here and there. I learned a lot. Unfortunately, it's a bit dated at this point, but since I know that, I took some sections as not quite the truth anymore. "

" Same rules apply as to other Coulter books. If you are sensitive to criticism or a staunch Democrat don't even try to understand Ann's opinions and humor. She WILL get under your skin. Interesting viewpoints delivered in a humorous, if somewhat Don Rickles fashion. Listened to the Audible version. "

" Loved all the interesting facts. Good book to keep for reference. "

" While a I mostly agree with Ann Coulter politically, I think this book is a little too must Democrat bashing. It has a lot of great one-liners, though, and can be funny at times. "

" A compendium of helpful management tips outlining strategies for doing little work, taking all the credit and inflicting mental anguish on employees. A must read for any budding manager ..... except mine. "

" I like this book. Not fabulous but good. Easy to read. "

" Wow. Political satire is alive and well. She even says many things I agree with. Who knew? Very interesting book. =0 "

" I enjoyed her compilation of quotes. She has such a way of getting to the meat of any matter. It was a quick read. "

" Mystery set in New Mexico. Nice fast read. "

" This is one of Sandra Brown classic romances for an easy read. I enjoyed it. This is a bit low scale than her upscale contemporary thrillers "

" Not really interesting but good enough to fill my spare time "

" Excellent mystery series. "

" I generally liked the idea of the story, but it felt rather monotonous for a while. Katharine, the protagonist, is basically either at work or at home and the same things kept getting re-hashed, so it did not feel like it was moving forward. The second half of the book picked up the pace a bit. While it kept my interest enough to finish it, I can't say the resolution was very surprising. "

" For a town of 13,000 population, there is a huge amount of crime, but never fear, Kevin Kerney is on the job. There is more love interest in this novel, Sara is back. "

" This may sound like a ridiculous book, but it is really concise and easy to understand. Sometimes you need something to overly simplify things to get the ball rolling, right? "

" Kind-of a silly book for me to read, since I was a history major in college and the Civil War was my "thing", but a book is a book! Informative but not too heavy-duty for beginners. "

" Tight murder mystery -- couldn't put it down -- 5 stars for those who like mysteries and if you don't, this one might change your mind. "

" Now you can relate to what the management is thinking about while making those bizarre decisions. A very entertaining and funny book indeed. "

" Davis gives simplistic views of geographic concepts, and he ties it together in ways that even children can appreciate. "

" Not a lot of new material here, but well written and well read. "

" This is not my usual read but it was entertaining and unpredictable. It pits 2 demons who are vying for one woman against each other with certain rules they had to follow. She was to choose between them but they couldn't answer many of her questions, she had to discover answers on her own. It is an interesting read. "

" Coulter deals much more with the response to her views than party lines or issues. I was disappointed in the narcissism and had hoped to truly gain more information about her ideas and the facts they're based on. "

" I was given this book when I first became a manager. It becomes less funny when you bitterly realize it's 95% true. Still, it helped get me through some tough times at a hard, unpleasant job. "

" I enjoyed this book of pirate stories. It gave insight about the Caribbean and life there. Many of my ancestors were master mariners, and seamen, sailing between Boston or Bcuksport or Barrington and ports in the Caribbean or Europe. Almost every family had someone lost at sea. "

" No. Seriously. I am reading this book. (And to think people accuse me of being liberal. Fascinating. Truly.) "

" this book left me wondering about two things related to the plot, other then that it was a good read, but the author didn't tie up all the ends. So it was disappointing. "

" Clear writing and engaging. Only giving it three stars because I felt the last two chapters (out of six) were overly pushy (the one on global warming, but in Davis' defense this was published in like 1991) and unnecessary (the astronomy chapter, which was a little silly in a book about geography). "

" I got this at a booksale and thought it would be ok, but I actually learned some stuff and it was written with a good sense of humor, like "who killed the dead sea?". "

" Studying up for Jeopardy - exactly what I needed! "

" This should be required reading for anyone considering a career of any kind. Period. "

" Just started reading this one today "

" Great for tidbits of information on key events, and to get some details on each event as it transpired. The book does not flow like it does in "Battle Cry of Freedom," but it does its job. "

" Have used these concepts in business and church contexts to teach people steps to take to change relationships. "

" Lost interest, dry storyline for an adventure book, and I cannot see how a child would pick this up and enjoy it even though it is a children's book. "

" Becoming more and more of a Michael McGarrity fan every day! "

" A great book of facts but not a great audio book. "

" This was one of those--"landlord is hot,but I'm too into my career" books. Very cliche'. I actually don't read many books that are sexual in nature, so I found it "gross". (Read for challenge about a dancer.) "

" Face to Face follows up on the message Cloud and Townsend outline in Boundaries. It's a practical guide on dealing with conflict and confrontations. "

" Good communication tools, lose the religion. "

" Along with being very educational, this book, like all of Mr. Davis' I have read, is also very entertaining! Even though I was a good student in school I was always a bit geography-challenged. As this book is titled, it is everything I need to know about the world but never learned! "

" Who couldn't benefit from this book? I don't know many people who like to have difficult conversations, but this book lays out why they are SO important and how to overcome your reasons for avoiding them. I learned a lot. Now, if I can just start putting it to use in daily life... "

" Wow! Intense suspense that was intensely personal. A terrific read for anyone who enjoys a thriller. "

" Say what you want about Ann Coulter, but I think she's hilarious. Whether or not you agree with her politics, her writing is funny and compelling. I want to read on to find out what she has to say next. "

" The story twisted to the end. I enjoyed it alot. "

" I didn't think I'd like this one, since I have a hard time with confrontation. It turns out to be the best, particularly since I have a hard time with confrontation. It made it easy for me to deal with things I've avoided for a lifetime. Amazing "

" This was a fast read--and fast paced. It is almost like an old western--don't ask me why--setting, terse lawman, something. "

" Great book on how to have healthy confrontations. Easy to read... highly recommend this! "

" Great read for the geography lover. "

" It was a very sweet "bed" read. "

" It's funny because it's true. "

" An old book of Sandra Brown's - good story line - old setting - kind of "cute". Good story - "

" Very funny book, probably true for some of managers. Should be required to read for every manager now and again, just to make sure that they don't forget how we should not manage. "

" I really wish they had been more photographs and maps, how can you have a geography book with only 5 maps? Other then that it was pretty good, if not a little lacking in some areas. "

" It had some good funny lines here and there, but you have to like Scott Adams' humor to like it. I liked it, but I didn't love it. "

" I pretty much Dogbert super power, what nonsense really>>>> very funny!!! "

" It is a very interesting book and hard to put down and I have learned a lot of things I was very unaware of "

" This is a story about a man who has been framed for killing his wife and for ploting a terrorist attack. He trys to hunt down the true evil-doers to clear his name. The final terrorist plot was predictable. I also thought that the author used too much profanity. "

" The beginning and end are interesting, but the middle is very hard to get through. Davis' books are formatted so that the heavy material is a little lighter and easier to make sense of. A good concise history of a time most American's understand little about. "

" Cloud's work really is very good - solid, clear and useful. The kind of thing you wish you'd had at an earlier age. It has a Christian bent, which is fairly easy to integrate with one's own value system (only a problem if you have no values, but then...why would you be reading the book?) "

" every movement needs someone like her, to force you to think through your beliefs. "

" How to resolve differences/arguments well - fairly, so you'll be heard, so you'll hear the other person, so you'll both be better people and have a stronger relationship "

" A book on politics that I adore. You must be conservative and have a sense of humor and this book will have you rolling on the floor about liberals. "

" Anyone who takes telling pirate stories seriously should read this book. "

" Mean-spirited jokes for people who enjoy that sort of thing. "

" Now that I've read this book, I'm thinking that maybe being where I currently am -- as one of the employees working in R&D -- isn't the best choice. Maybe I *should* try to weasel my way into managing. This book gives me hope. "

" Lost interest, dry storyline for an adventure book, and I cannot see how a child would pick this up and enjoy it even though it is a children's book. "

" This book was a dirge. Yes..there's lot of stories. But they are told in a very dull and uneventful way that it reads almost like a history text book. "

" Good book! Kept me guessing the whole time. A quick read. "

" I really dissappointing ending. I felt like I wasted time. I would not recommend this book. Happy I didn't pay full price for it. "

" Awesome book. This would make a real good movie. I could hardly put the book down. "

" I want to read it because I am sure this will help me at work as well as in life outside of work "

" Again, I jumped into a series by getting the book on tape. Kevin Kerney is a police officer as well as a rancher in the high country of New Mexico. Good descriptions of the land, very believable characters, but not a 'gripping' story. "

" This was my first thriller an am pretty satisfied with it. it definetly kept me on my toes. And it showed all sides of the story so that is definetly an A+ "

" This is a must read! "

" I have read a couple of his other books, with Andy Carpenter as the main character and liked them. Picked this up on the new shelf at the library. It was pretty good, not heavy but held my interest. "

" This is not the "right" cover but we had this book on our shelves when I was kid. The illustrations are tremendous and there's plenty of "lore" too. I think HP was N.C. Wyeth's father-in-law. Date read is "general". "

" excellent & practical resource that I highly recommend "

" Great book. Dogbert is a dog full of knowledge on how to lead and motivate. "

" An amusing way to spend a couple of days. I had fun trying to recognize various managerial actions in my past bosses. Okay, fine, and the current management. Remaining mum on how successful I was. "

" This is the 2nd McGarrity I've read...I thoroughly enjoyed Judas Judge so I'm going to back-track to the earlier ones...reminds me of the Sanford/Logan Minnesota group so far as characters go...plot along the lines of Raymond Chandler...setting ala Tony Hillerman...worthy reads!!! "

" The author actually did know quite a bit about the civil war and had some good stories and info in the book. i found the format the book was written in slightly confusing at times but overall it was a good read "

" I love geography,,,,I loved this book although I read it so fast I probably forgot lots of it. "

" i liked the scenarios, but i wouldn't recommend this book because i found it to be heterosexist entirely. "

" one of my favorites of hers because the main girl in it is a ballerina. :) she writes really good love stories "

" I am enjoying this series more with each book. Really looking forward to the next one. "

" Mind = blown. I'd thought I knew a lot about geography. But there's so much more. There's always more. Easy to read, humorous, fascinating, clever, engaging. Everyone should read this. Looking forward to reading the others in the Don't Know Much series. "

" Dancer with an injury is forced to see the "other side of life".....the side other than dancing. Friends try to help with the healing process and show her that the life she has run away from has much more to offer than she ever realized. "

" Wildly snarky! Coulter is quite unapologetic in her views. "

" Just read the title... that's enough to know that this is Ann Coulter at her best... she says it as it really is and that's why most Democrats detest her every word... she tells the TRUTH!!! "

" Started off well, but had a few plot discrepancies. "

" I don't know what to say about this book besides saying it is funny and very very true. "

" very useful, especially when it comes to learning about everyone's contribution to a difficult situation. sometimes we're quick to judge someone else, when we're part of the situation as well. "

" Not bad for an easy to read, quick mystery novel. "

" Another good book by these guys "

" I don't know how it's possible to turn anecdotes of the biggest names in piracy into a dry, uninteresting recitation of stories that are neither unique nor particularly scandalous, but this volume accomplished it. "

" Should be read by anyone in corporate America at least once a year to keep from taking it too serioulsy. "

" I love pirates. This book could use a modern-day editor to update it a little. Had a few slow moments and a lot of the language was outdated. Still fun. "

" This is not the "right" cover but we had this book on our shelves when I was kid. The illustrations are tremendous and there's plenty of "lore" too. I think HP was N.C. Wyeth's father-in-law. Date read is "general". "

" An informative book about the lives of pirates and buccaneers. "

" Is was an entertaining story. "

" Someone gave this to me as a gag gift when I took Principles of Management in library school. While it's absolutely hysterical, it's also creepy -- if you've worked in the corporate world, you will have seen or been on the receiving end of the practices lampooned in this book. "

" An informative book about the lives of pirates and buccaneers. "

" Really great points. I couldn't agree with her more. <br/> <br/>I LOVE ANN COULTER!!! <br/> "

" 4 words describe this book Complete and Utter Garbage. "

" Although I missed the humor of the Myron Bolitar series, this first thriller of Rosenfelt's is a winner! Characters are well-drawn, and a surprise ending that was very satisfying. "

" Amazing book for having a mature confrontation. "

" I have read dozens upon dozens of books on the Civil War. This is a great overview and has some fun facts probably not in other books. Every student should read this book. Excellent. "

" Anyone who takes telling pirate stories seriously should read this book. "

" Learned a few things I didn't know ... but it reads like a textbook. "

" Got bored. Gave up. "

" I love pirates. This book could use a modern-day editor to update it a little. Had a few slow moments and a lot of the language was outdated. Still fun. "

" The usual Ann book. Caustic, confrontational in her polemicist style. Lots of pulls from her weekly columns and TV appearances with some added editorializing at the beginning of each chapter. As usual, entertaining and informative. "

" This book helped with those hard conversations "

" Pretty well written book but the diet made me bloated and feel horrible...must have done something wrong. "

" i liked the scenarios, but i wouldn't recommend this book because i found it to be heterosexist entirely. "

" a departure from the Andy Carpenter books, the dog angle is woven in slightly,but no where like his other books. <br/>An unknown entity is ruining tim wallace's life and has tangles with seemingly political motives, but maybe not...but maybe so... "

" Great book on how to have healthy confrontations. Easy to read... highly recommend this! "

" great Book! Very fast pace action. "

" can't put down read! Will keep you guessing till the end. "

" I was given this book when I first became a manager. It becomes less funny when you bitterly realize it's 95% true. Still, it helped get me through some tough times at a hard, unpleasant job. "

" Mean-spirited jokes for people who enjoy that sort of thing. "

" She represents what's wrong with society. And that is unwillingness to accept other people's beliefs. "

" Should be read by anyone in corporate America at least once a year to keep from taking it too serioulsy. "

" After being on Atkins for 3 weeks I finally got around to reading the book. If you're doing atkins, this book is a must read! "

" Occasionally, my attention was grabbed by some interesting details or facts, but my mind kept drifting, sadly. I'm sorry that I was not able to pay more attention to what I was reading due to the fact that I love pirates! "

" This was my first thriller an am pretty satisfied with it. it definetly kept me on my toes. And it showed all sides of the story so that is definetly an A+ "

" Quick, easy and exciting read. Keep you interested from beginning to end. Not the best written of books or the best developed of characters, but a good story with lots of twists and turns. The ending was too quick and neat. Makes for a good escape read. No real thinking or concentrating necessary. "

" [Audio] Don't know much about the historical accuracy of the book, but a fun read. Though full of adventure, it hints at the dark side of pirating. "

" A classic, but a classic book of tales for a reason - the adventures are still exciting and gripping, brusquely told, and colorful. Just don't depend on it for truth in piracy, for Pyle was seeking to sketch adventure tales, not the history that many have sought to read here and that Pyle imitated. "

" I don't know how it's possible to turn anecdotes of the biggest names in piracy into a dry, uninteresting recitation of stories that are neither unique nor particularly scandalous, but this volume accomplished it. "

" An old book of Sandra Brown's - good story line - old setting - kind of &quot;cute&quot;. Good story - "

" I generally like Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter series, but this stand-alone didn't do it for me. It gets two stars because it's an interesting enough read, but the entire story line is just ridiculously implausible, and that was a deal-breaker for me. "

" Very good introduction to the war. Davis does an excellent job of outlining events from much earlier that led to the conflict. He has a firm understanding of topics and explains in such a way that the completely uninitiated would have a good understanding. "

" this is most least favorite rosenfelt book. it is listed as a thriller, and so it is. Tim Wallace’s wife was killed in a boating accident several months ago—and one New Jersey cop is sure he did it. He didn’t. Not my &quot;cup of tea&quot; "

" I had an older edition, which took away from the reading somewhat. Many countries mentioned are no longer. But the geographic information was sound and interesting. "

" This is the 'secret' to achieving and maintaining weightloss. This way of eating is the most pain-free method of losing weight. Read this without pre-conceived ideas. I am recommending this to anyone who expresses the wish to lose weight! "

" Modern lawman mystery set in New Mexico. "

" is this a duplicate listing? "

" What Ann Coulter lacks in tact, she makes up for tenfold in insults and witty comebacks. I don't think she wrote more than 20 pages of this book...the rest is just quotations from her column and more extreme interviews. "

" Dancer with an injury is forced to see the &quot;other side of life&quot;.....the side other than dancing. Friends try to help with the healing process and show her that the life she has run away from has much more to offer than she ever realized. "

" Wow. Political satire is alive and well. She even says many things I agree with. Who knew? Very interesting book. =0 "

" From the locked cabinet at school. Read aloud. Pictures easily the best part. "

" Davis gives simplistic views of geographic concepts, and he ties it together in ways that even children can appreciate. "

" This book was a dirge. Yes..there's lot of stories. But they are told in a very dull and uneventful way that it reads almost like a history text book. "

" Not really interesting but good enough to fill my spare time "

" It's a smart approach to braking the cycle of addictive eating. It helps teach the difference between carbs, proteins and losing weight...for good. "

" A good story that I enjoyed. I was able to finish it in just a couple of days because it really kept my attention. "

" This was a fast read--and fast paced. It is almost like an old western--don't ask me why--setting, terse lawman, something. "

" I have read her other books and this one is different in one way-no new material. If you have read her other books or her articles, then it's not worth it. It is basically the collection of her work, a complete and unoriginal review of all of the same things that she talks about all day long. "

" This book is saving my life every day! "

" A classic, but a classic book of tales for a reason - the adventures are still exciting and gripping, brusquely told, and colorful.

" I read this years ago when I went though my Atkins fad. The book pulled me in, hook, line, and sinker. I did Atkins for a while, then gave up when it became too boring and hard. <br/> <br/>Then I ate a box of donuts. "

" The beginning and end are interesting, but the middle is very hard to get through. Davis' books are formatted so that the heavy material is a little lighter and easier to make sense of. A good concise history of a time most American's understand little about. "

" Awesome book. This would make a real good movie. I could hardly put the book down. "

" I read this a bit ago but really remember liking it. It was a who-dunnit and I remember it keeping my attention. "

" Recycled stuff from her other books. She is funny at times, but this is sort of a cheap lets make a buck off of people sort of thing. nothing really original here. "

" holy crap it works. "

" Contractor Tim Wallace's wife is killed when his boat is blown up. Police suspect Tim. "

" A revolutionary in his own right and an exceptionally smart man. Sadly, so often misrepresented and maligned by people who know nothing about him or his work. "

" ok so i havent really read he book itself but i LOVE the title!!!!!!!!!! "

" A &quot;who done it?&quot; book. It was a Reader's Choice but I thought it was kinds lame. "

" Tight murder mystery -- couldn't put it down -- 5 stars for those who like mysteries and if you don't, this one might change your mind. "

" Face to Face follows up on the message Cloud and Townsend outline in Boundaries. It's a practical guide on dealing with conflict and confrontations. "

" I absolutely love anything by Kenneth C. Davis. His history books are great for getting a solid grasp on main ideas, as well as giving you fun insights on old info lost in school. "

" I don't know what to say about this book besides saying it is funny and very very true. "

" It's funny because it's true. "

" I chuckled a lot, and laughed hard enough to lose my place a few times. Unfortunately, only a few. The book struck me as formulaic, and most of the punchlines came from well known jokes. <br/> <br/>I just expected a little more wit. "

" I'd owned this for a long time before I finally read it. It was a mostly-interesting survey of geography, but nothing that made a huge impression on me. "

" I tried this diet one day but I felt that it isn't the best one ever. "

" great summary<br/>wish I had this when I was in school "

" Been there, done it, found it works as advertised. I got on, I lost wait. After a few months, though, you'll be ready to give your soul to eat the bun with your McDonalds burger.<br/><br/>And once you give in... "

" I got this at a booksale and thought it would be ok, but I actually learned some stuff and it was written with a good sense of humor, like &quot;who killed the dead sea?&quot;. "

" I tried this. I lost 90 lbs. and then plateued for 1 year. Then I gave up. "

" It had some good funny lines here and there, but you have to like Scott Adams' humor to like it. I liked it, but I didn't love it. "

" Considering the fact that I'm rather young.. this book was amusing. The storyline was fairly basic but what kept me giggling in the middle of the night were the hot steamy sessions. However, I do admit that it was a very enjoyable read and it's a nice book to read after a long day. "

" A compendium of helpful management tips outlining strategies for doing little work, taking all the credit and inflicting mental anguish on employees. A must read for any budding manager ..... except mine. "

" I didn't think I'd like this one, since I have a hard time with confrontation. It turns out to be the best, particularly since I have a hard time with confrontation. It made it easy for me to deal with things I've avoided for a lifetime. Amazing "

" <br/>Another good book by these guys "

" A great book of facts but not a great audio book. "

" Loved all the interesting facts. Good book to keep for reference. "

" one of my favorites of hers because the main girl in it is a ballerina. :) she writes really good love stories "

" This may sound like a ridiculous book, but it is really concise and easy to understand. Sometimes you need something to overly simplify things to get the ball rolling, right? "

" Great for tidbits of information on key events, and to get some details on each event as it transpired. The book does not flow like it does in &quot;Battle Cry of Freedom,&quot; but it does its job. "

" This should be required reading for anyone considering a career of any kind. Period. "

" I enjoyed this book of pirate stories. It gave insight about the Caribbean and life there. Many of my ancestors were master mariners, and seamen, sailing between Boston or Bcuksport or Barrington and ports in the Caribbean or Europe. Almost every family had someone lost at sea. "

" I love geography,,,,I loved this book although I read it so fast I probably forgot lots of it. "

" Kind-of a silly book for me to read, since I was a history major in college and the Civil War was my &quot;thing&quot;, but a book is a book! Informative but not too heavy-duty for beginners. "

" This book helped with those hard conversations "

" Not a lot of new material here, but well written and well read. "

" excellent &amp; practical resource that I highly recommend "

" Great book. Dogbert is a dog full of knowledge on how to lead and motivate. "

" Great read for the geography lover. "

" This is one of Sandra Brown classic romances for an easy read. I enjoyed it. This is a bit low scale than her upscale contemporary thrillers "

" Amazing book for having a mature confrontation. "

" I really wish they had been more photographs and maps, how can you have a geography book with only 5 maps? Other then that it was pretty good, if not a little lacking in some areas. "

" This book is full of fascinating &quot;I don't believe it&quot; tidbits. "

" I am enjoying this series more with each book. Really looking forward to the next one. "

" I want to read it because I am sure this will help me at work as well as in life outside of work "

" How to resolve differences/arguments well - fairly, so you'll be heard, so you'll hear the other person, so you'll both be better people and have a stronger relationship "

" Who couldn't benefit from this book? I don't know many people who like to have difficult conversations, but this book lays out why they are SO important and how to overcome your reasons for avoiding them. I learned a lot. Now, if I can just start putting it to use in daily life... "

" Davis has several out in this series. This one does a good job covering the whole mess about our late loss! Try for the paperback or find a &quot;like new&quot; copy at your used book store. If the South does rise again, what will I do with all these Federal Reserve Notes? "

" Sweet love story, original, believeable, somewhat &quot;dated&quot;, but I enjoyed the plot and the characters. "

" Good book for just learning basic facts. For example, the difference between a canal and a fjord. A canal is man-made (think Panama, people) and a fjord is made by Mother Nature. Plus I just like saying the word &quot;fjord&quot;, Pronunciation = fee-yord. "

" Someone gave this to me as a gag gift when I took Principles of Management in library school. While it's absolutely hysterical, it's also creepy -- if you've worked in the corporate world, you will have seen or been on the receiving end of the practices lampooned in this book. "

" Occasionally, my attention was grabbed by some interesting details or facts, but my mind kept drifting, sadly. I'm sorry that I was not able to pay more attention to what I was reading due to the fact that I love pirates! "

" It seems everyone I meet is hurting. This should give me insight for myself and to minister to others. "

" One of the most pressing questions of all times: where to turn to in the middle of our difficult lives. This is a thought-provoking book that tackles some questions of hurting people. It leaves a striking message that life in Christ, together: that's our hope. "
