Anyone making promises of getting rich by playing blackjack is only out to take your money and make themselves rich by selling books. Gaining an edge in blackjack by counting cards is extremely difficult in today's casino environment. Even with an edge, the best players still lose often. Don't be fooled by overly optimistic promises.

There is no question but that this writer has solved the question of how to keep busting your hand down to an absolute minimum... which I found translates into winning! The thing I liked most about this book, besides the fact that I didn't have to learn how to count cards, was that with minimum practice I was able to win money. The truth is, the book actually told me how to win in a way that mad me understand exactly what I was doing. I strongly recommend this book to every person who plays blackjack..., and who is tried of losing their money.

I can't believe how good this works. I have unquestionably just read and used the best book on the market which deals with how to win money playing Casino Blackjack. This book showed me a number of weaknesses in how the casinos play Blackjack, which has already allowed me to win money. One of the most important things I learned is how to keep pressure on the dealer's hand. How to force the dealer to bust. And how to win without counting cards! I highly recommend Blackjack Wizard to any person who wants to win money playing Blackjack.

A book to steer clear of: a programming book without a single figure or drawing, with the poorest pagination I've ever seen. Impossible to find the options for open for instance. Worthless.

After looking through most of the available texts, we chose this this book to teach a course on Fortran-90 to scientists and engineers at NASA. It is especially helpful to programmers with a good understanding of Fortran-77 who want to make the transition to this powerful revision of the language. The book covers the most useful new features (array processing, allocateable memory, derived types, encapsulation) very thoroughly. The writing is generally clear, cogent, and understandable. The only thing lacking is a complete treatment of language intrinsic functions, for which you need the large (and expensive) language handbook.

I use this book over the Compaq fortran 90 language manual sometimes. Examples are easy to follow and the writing is very clear. Many examples. There is a nice section at the back on obsolete fortran 77 conventions, and their replacements. It's a nice compact book too - you don't realize how much information it contains because it's not enormous and heavy. I recommend it to anybody

Anyone who makes money off of rape, is no better than the rapist himself

I thoroughly applaude this book as it brings to life in a very real fashion not only the horror women go through when they are raped - and murdered, but it also speaks well of the real shock and terror a man goes through when the woman he loves is abducted, raped and murdered. And the thing I liked most about this book was that it was based on real stories. So that it wasn't just another cheap piece of fiction. Finally because the problem of rape is continuing to grow with the advent of internet pornography, I applaude anyone who takes a stand for women by showing just how real and vaunerable they are.
