Like some other reviewers, I look for a "nugget" in a book like this. Does the value of the nugget outweigh the cost of the book and the time spent reading it? If so, it's a worthy endeavor. In this case, there are several "nuggets." The book is worth reading regardless of your trading strategy or philosophy. The ...

This book shows how retail investors are fighting against supercomputers and large institutions. It was very insightful in that regard and shows how we need to be well-armed for the battle.

This is a well-researched book that amply demostrates that regardless of whether earnings are good or bad, there is no clear way to know which way the stock will move. Even if you knew exactly what earnings and revenues would be, there's a decent chance the stock would move in a manner that you did not expect. The au...

My basic criteria for reviewing a book is whether I gather enough useful information to justify my investment in the book and my time in reading it.

This book has some sections that every church leader should read.

Despite the title, this is essentially a book about holiness, separateness and living a life of contentment.

The audio cd's take approximately 3:20 to listen to, and I believe they can change your life. While many of the things Napoleon Hill has to say are "common sense," it is surprising how often people ignore common sense and just do whatever is easiest at the time. Hill's words of wisdom are truly timeless and it will b...

I give this book two stars because it had a few redeeming qualities. The book has moments (and I mean moments) of genius that might change someone's life for the better. Although mildly repetitive at times, the book is well-organized with short, easily readable chapters. Most of the book, however, is a kind of zen-l...

This "book", if you can call it that, is a waste of money. It would better be described as a pamphlet with a cover on it. Instead, I would recommend Harry S.

I made the same mistake that a lot of other people made by using the steamer to cook spaghetti. Once I figured out how to use it, I was very satisfied with it. It is much better than the pot that has the strainer in the lid that this replaced. This is a very versatile product and you won't be disappointed.

This is a well-balanced set of knives and a good value for the money. They are rather sharp and hold their edge very well.
