Excellent! The best book ever written on this topic.
I first read the B.S. Syndrome back in 1988. I was so impressed with the material that I personally contacted Mr. Salupo by phone. I spent over 2 hours talking to him about the book, his personal life and the general topic of bullshit. Mr. Salupo wrote me back several days later thanking me for my insights into this topic which everyone practically acknowledges but does nothing about. I found the book very helpful and straight forward. This a work of literature that gets to the very understanding of why our culture has evovled into what it is today. We have bought into bullshit from the time we are born to those final days of life. The book does a splendid job of pointing out how not to become victimized by bullshit and navigating around its dreaded tentacles of self-destruction. Overall, it guide to modern indiviualism in an ever changing world.

Absolutely outstanding! Unique!
For the first time in my life I now understand what people are really saying to me. And I can do it easily, accurately and quietly. The BSer never need know that I know they are Bsing! Learning the "hidden secrets of BS from the bedroom to the boardroom" has helped me regain control of my life. It has returned my power so that I can live a worry free life. No more broken hearts, pockets picked, wasted time by BSers. This book has also helped me on the job so that I was promoted and received pay increases sooner! Wonderful book. There are many benefits to gain in stopping BS cold. This book is guaranteed to change your life for the better.

Changed my life
The book was a real eye opener! I found it very easy to understand. Wish it could have been written 30 years ago - It would have saved me a lot of heartache and money!

Chantecler!
A story that is challenging and unconventional, Chantecler! can be a delight to read, or disturbing. It depends on how patient you are as a reader. After reading the book once, I felt the author, Victor Thomas Salupo, was trying to send too many messages in one story. A blurb on the back cover by Dr. Glory Van Scott says, "Chantecler! is a microcosm of today's society ..." The story is about love, duty, heartbreak, feminism, betrayal, and more. That is a lot of life to cover in 237 pages.

Set in a barnyard, the story features characters that include a rooster (Chantecler), a raven, a dog, pigeon and Chantecler's love interest, a pheasant-hen named Claudine who stole the golden plumage of the male pheasant and a scarecrow.

Reading the book a second time, I was more able to pick up on all the messages the story contained. After both readings, however, the story's ending left me wondering. Chantecler! is not for everyone, but if you like stories with a philosophical twist that challenges your mind, it may be the story for you.
