A self-help book that reads like a fast-paced novel.

The point of the book is simple, yet invaluable: If you get people on your side you will accomplish so ...

Good ideas
I liked this book for the good ideas it has. My 8-year-old son didn't get into it as much as I had hoped, though. I bought it for him, but he didn't seem to get anything out of it, and has no interest in reading it again. Oh, well!
