Summary: Filled with surprises
Review: There are pleasures to be had in this novel.The novel keeps us guessing right up until the gut-wrenching twist of a finale. It reaches a splendid crescendo, a wildly imaginative tour de force. It's a real page turner, with well-placed stokes, she brings to life all of her characters.I don't know why some people are giving this book such a bad review. I really liked it. Anyway, it's very fast paced, lots of twists, and overall a very enjoyable read. I wasn't surprised by the main thrust of the ending, but there were lots of little quirky things along the way that weren't expected. But if you want a suspenseful book that's fast paced, fun, and surprising, then this the way to go. The author is a good storyteller, a credit indeed to her famous ancestor.

Summary: Everyone agrees
Review: There are thousands of books about looking for love, but not many about living through heartbreak.One of the best novels I have ever read, and anyone who thinks there is nothing new to read about love,pain and renewal,should grab this book now.The story sparkles with wit and sympathy.

Summary: This book has a great message
Review: This book actually has a great message... that women should stop doting on losers who don't pay attention to them and move on. However, I would up the anty even farther than this book did and argue that even IF a man is afraid of commitment, etc., if he's a waste of your time, he's a waste of your time, period. Stop looking for the diamond in the rough. I'm a fan of her column, and think that she should write non-fiction, she's way better at that.

Summary: This book is like a rare bird
Review: This book provides a refreshing, much needed 'psychic elixir' for those individuals who have been branded as "psychopaths" by the society of the times. You know, the person who doesn't wear designer clothes, or who doesn't imitate those who yet manage some cheap imitation to get their 'friends' approval. Or the individual who dares to 'think'...REALLY think...for him or herself, despite being the 'laughing stock' of his or her 'peers.' Or the person who is continually 'pushing the envelope,' to the rage and fury of those little men in gray suits that skulk along the walls of any large corporation...or around your neighborhood block, for that matter. Of course you know the ones I'm talking about. The REAL Thinker is the odd one out. Why? Because each of us is a mirror to others. And the reflection they see in our mirrors show them what they are and are not, constantly. The "average;" the "normal," are generally the ones who never had an original thought in their lives and never will, and yet are so incompetent as to have trouble in stealing ideas from others. Sure, you know the kind. They're all around you! You have to put up with them everyday, just to earn your bread! I'm talking about the "bastions of society," as the herd (or, "masses") call the lackluster! Well, this book certainly ISN'T for them!
What a pity, that most creative thinkers and doers are (at best) 'tolerated' by saying they, "think outside the box," or (more usually) hated, by being labeled a "psychopath." That's what this book is about. About resurrecting a NATURAL pride in the creative and productive individual...however the individual defines it for him or her self. And that is where it belongs-within the individual who has the courage to become more, do more, and to revel in the process, as much as in the achievement.

This book is a rare bird that actually, though fiction decribes what is going on in the world today. It is learning a new field of knowledge, or living a life of dedication, direction, and the courage of one's convictions. But it is necessary reading for all people who MUST be reminded that THEY are the true "Lords of the Earth," not the masses who benefit daily from the joys the 'rejects'...the "psychopaths"...continually create in all fields of human endeavor. To these "crazies," I HIGHLY recommend this book! I'd say the courageous and determined among us have both a roadmap and a 'supply line' needed to achieve and become whatever it is we want to do and be...and with no holds barred. And all the while, enjoying who we are, while looking to none of the herd for approval, acceptance...or thanks. I also highly recommend "Pyschopath" by Keith Ablow.

Cheers

Summary: waste of money
Review: This book was absolutely dreadful. I bought it based on the glowing reviews here but now I'm convinced they were written by the author and/or the author's friends. Otherwise, some people have extremely low standards for literature, a term I use very loosely when reviewing this book. As far as the person who said the book is "laugh out loud funny", are you smoking crack? Either you read a totally different book or you're referring to the unintentional humor caused by the book's many misspellings, tortured syntax and general awfulness.
There's a reason certain books are self-published.
