The Secret 2175 reviews
Beyond Words eBook, 2007
This book is very uplifting.
+ Wise Words - But Use Wisely + To believe or not to believe
Nobody can read this book and not feel inspired. I read it about a year ago when I was feeling down. By the time I got through I was filled with hope and Joy. I loan it out to my friends. When I do I purchase a new copy so my friends can have a copy too. I think everyone should have a copy.

Warning about the Kindle edition!
+ Wonderful + Excellent Book, a Must Read
If you open the Kindle edition of the book by double-clicking on the title in your list of books the Kindle edition opens at Chapter 1. Don't do that. If you do you miss the Prologue. The Prologue sets up a conflict at the heart of the story. I liked the book without the Prologue but it would've ...

Colbert Continues to Command
+ Husband loves it + Funny, Funny, Funny
As long as Stephen Colbert has been performing, he's been writing. This is a brilliant man in full command of a comedic sensibility that has been delighting me for many years. When I discovered that a book would be released written in the tone of the right-wing blow-hard character that he has ...

WWE has basically the same plot as POTE. Some obvious similarities:
Jack-Merthin
Lady Aliena-Philippa
William Hamleigh-Ralph Fitzgerald
The list goes on. This book is repetitous and has the same pattern as POTE, good versus evil with a lot of architectural jargon thrown in. I loved Pillars ...
