Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! 2138 reviews
Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter
Business Plus, 2000
Fantastic Book
This book is amazing. I would recommend this to any at any age. I read this in High School and it changed my life. I now own a successful startup company and it is all thanks to the rich dad series for inspiring me to NOT GET A JOB! I recently bought this for my 13 year old brother in law as well. It is not a HOW TO but rather a THINK ABOUT how to!

Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World133 reviews
Lisa Lillien
St. Martin's Griffin, 2008
My favorite cook book right now
I couldn't disagree with W. Mate's review more. First of all, I have made the peanut butter fudge several times and you can't even taste the pumpkin. It was fudgy and moist and sooooo good. I think the recipes are clever and fun. They have all turned out well, and I'm finding staying focused on my diet (staying under 1400 calories a day) much easier. The recipes featuring the almost-no-calories ...

Fatness to Fitness: Former Fat Kid Reveals His Most Powerful Personal Strategies and Techniques to Help You ... 5 reviews
Joey Atlas
Underdog Press, 2008
No BS...It's the Real Deal
Before I give my review of this book - I must first mention that I have had the pleasure of working with Joey for the past 6 years. Currently, I am one of his 'last few clients' that he trains in a one-on-one (he stopped taking on new clients a few years ago when his online presence skyrocketed).
I've read many books on health, fitness and nutrition. Most of them are very similar and most of ...

Grand Theft Auto IV Signature Series Guide (Bradygames Signature)13 reviews
BradyGames
BRADY GAMES, 2008
Very detailed, informative, and reliable.
This is a real solid guide for GTA 4. The only beef I have with it is that it does not include a checklist that you can use to keep track of your 100% completion goals, but it does tell you what you have to do to get said 100%. The maps are accurate and reliable, the strategies are good ones to use, and it tells you the little things, like what activities your girlfriends enjoy, when your ...

The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals236 reviews
Missy Chase Lapine
Running Press, 2007
The Original!
If you are going to buy one of these covert vegetable books - get the original. While in a perfect world it is best to feed your kids delicious foods with visible fruits and veggies rather than hiding them in otherwise not-so-healthy dishes, this book is great for creating some fun and still veggie-infused meals. The puree concept is a great idea! The book has fun recipes for creating some ...

Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual: Roleplaying Game Core Rules, 4th Edition 6 reviews
Wizards RPG Team
Wizards of the Coast, 2008
Wish the PHB was as good
This product (as is all the artwork in all three books) is beautiful. I love the new system for monsters. It is a shame that I believe too much of the game was limited so that they could accomodate D&D Insider's Game Table application. That being said, I wish I could take this Monster Manual and use it in 3.5e......hmmmm

The Art Of War12 reviews
Sun Tzu
Filiquarian, 2007
Classic on the priciples of war
This ancient classic of 13 chapters was written over 2,500 years ago by the legendary Chinese general Sun Tzu. It is a must have for military buffs that enjoy reading about the tactics of the most succesful generals. It is rumored that Napoleon used a French translation of the Art of War to his advantage while conquering most of Europe, and he lost when he broke its principles.
The principles ...

Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 1: Strategic Play227 reviews
Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie
Two Plus Two Pub., 2004
Best book(s) in tournament poker
I think Harrington's book and it's sequels are the best books ever written about no limit hold'em tournaments. The first part of the series covers strategic concepts about tournament poker, the second part tells how to play in the ending of a tournament, and third part is the workbook for reviewing the concepts of first two books.
Before reading this book (and the sequels), I have been mostly ...

Unlike some books and cd's about NLP, this cd does not promote it as some kind of magical cure all. NLP is presented for what it is, a useful and practical means of changing the way we think and associate things in our brains. Its our internal feedback and associations that feeds our fears and limits our thinking. NLP, is one way of overwriting the circuits in our brains with new and more helpful ...

The Prince (Bantam Classics)270 reviews
Niccolo Machiavelli
Bantam Classics, 1984
`Do the ends justify the means?'
A young colleague of mine recently said `management is easy'. I smiled enigmatically and considered buying him a copy of `The Prince' but I fear it would be wasted. I am now on my third copy of this book which, alas, I can only read in English. The George Bull translation (as reprinted in 1995) is the version I currently refer to.
I first read this book when studying economic history at high ...

"THE NOSE OF THE PLANE HIT THE FACADE JUST BELOW THE TOP OF THE FIRST STORY, ABOUT 14 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND, GOING 530 MILES PER HOUR.
