I agree!
I wholeheartedly agree with the reader from Wisconsin -- By the second chapter I was disgusted, but out of fairness to the author, decided to finish it. Boy, do I wish I hadn't. Definitely a waste of my time and money, I'm sorry to say.

One of the worst romance novels I have ever read.
The "good" doctor, Ben Rizzoli, is not a hero, he is uncontrolled slime. Within hours of finding Megan in an unconscious state, he has her in bed. What is worse, she has amnesia and has only just remembered her name. How can either of them believe this is a good start to any type of relationship that doesn't end with paymet. Let's show a little control, please, that is part of what separates humans from animals in heat. To top it off, not only is Megan easy, she (voila`) ends up with a rich divorce settlement, a divorce that hadn't even been started/served while she was bopping the "good" doctor by page 49. It is the first time I have been tempted to throw out a book rather than give it away. I am ashamed that I didn't toss it when my instincts first told me to in chapter 3. I would have given it zero stars if that had been possible.

Bad Info!!
This book is filled with bad information!! It does list some good points, but it is very outdated and states that the best way to lose weight is to load up on carbohydrates. Definitely not recommended!!

Boring, boring, boring; knock your socks off boring
This books is SO BORING, it's not a surprise that it has fallen out of print. This book was so bad, reading it made my feet fall asleep. I'm sure we can forgive the author, but not the expense of buying a copy of this pathetic refuse. It didn't even make good compost. If you want to read something that is absolutely, astonishingly, perfectly bad, search out a used copy of this book.

AIDS in Africa and the Caribbean
I have not read the book, but I am interested in reading it and reviewing it. I lived and working in Africa for five years, during which time I did a lot of AIDS education and awareness programs for the people.

I would be happy to review the book if you would please send me a complimentary copy. Dr. Georgia Christensen, FSPA Viterbo University 815 South 9th Street La Crosse, WI 54601

Should be titled Main Roads!
Disapointing for us Jeep drivers who think a Backroad is off the beaten track and NOT paved! These may seem like backroads if one is from LA or NY but these are really (allmost) all paved main highways here in Canada. For RV tourists only.

Padding at its worst.
Though it's listed at 208 pages, my copy was only 168 pages long; of which, 50 were devoted to a list of training programs. No effort was made to rank the programs by quality or respect within the industry. If a book is padded at least it should be comprehensive, but the list of computer magazine and their URLs later in the book didn't even include PC Magazine! The section on computer repair in Paul and Sarah Edwards' "The Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century" contained at least as much real information as this book and it's only 7 pages long. I suspect this book was written and published for a quick buck and I intend to avoid this author and publisher in the future. If someone knows of a truly useful book on this subject I would be grateful to hear of it.

Unreadable!
I could not make it through the first chapter of this book. I am not an English teacher, but the run-on sentences and atrocious sentence structure drove me crazy! The author tries to provide a political context for the Constellations, both paintings and poetry. However, he jumps from year to year and place to place without transition. I found this extremely confusing and also incomplete. I was also disappointed in the black and white illustrations. I don't think the paintings can be appreciated at all in this book. Don't buy it!

Bad...and I do mean BAD
First of all let me tell you that I really like Diana Palmer which is why I am having such a hard time understanding what on earth she thinking of when she wrote this story. The story "Night of Love" never got a chance to develop because she already had them declaring their love for each other soon after the book started. I know it was a short story but come on...give me something to look forward to.

The second story, written by Joan Elliot Pickart, was so poorly written it might as well have been something my 10 year old sister put together. The entire story was boring and sloppy. However, it was even worse when I realized that the hero sounded a lot like a woman, he was completely unbelievable and ultra feminine. There was so much a$$ kissing in the story that I simply could not finish it. Out of all the books that I have ever read (and I have read many) this was by far the worst.
