Rating:  Summary: Wonderful! Review: I tend to disagree with the very first review, I am a Libra and I am not deceitful, But, That's not why I'm here, :-) I love this book, It's amazing and completely true, I recommend it highly, I don't think she adores one sunsign alone, I think she gives each the same amount of praise and criticizim(Sp). I'm 12 and I understand all of it, So it's not confusing like most Zodiac books and articles,
Rating:  Summary: As Real As It Gets Review: For all of you skeptics out there - give this one a chance. I dare you. It's not your typical, tabloid-advice horoscope funnies, it's a map of detailed characteristics representing each human under their sign of the zodiac. Linda tends to be wordy at times and divert to smaller topics a little too often, but if you examine the core of her text, it is almost frightening how close she comes to truth. She is a down-to-earth, spiritual, God-believing woman, and an author whose words will help you in relating to others in daily life. If you let her...
Rating:  Summary: A coffee table classic Review: This book may be the best there is at bringing the sun signs to life. Linda does an entertaining segment on the sign in general, and then breaks it down into men, women, children, bosses, and employees. She illustrates her chapters with quotes from Alice In Wonderland. I can't think of a better way to get started learning about the signs of the zodiac than reading this enjoyable, light book from cover to cover. Don't think of it as a Bible of astrology. Don't poke for areas of disagreement. Just absorb the big picture.There is no pure example of a sign. When you were born, the Sun, Moon, and planets in our solar system weren't all in the same sign. We are combinations of signs. But this book will get you started in a fun way.
Rating:  Summary: You can find out other peoples behavior by sunsigns Review: I think that this book has alot of information on knowing peoples sunsigns.That way you could learn more about thier personality.It is a great book for people who are interested in astrology.
Rating:  Summary: Engaging and well-written yet a bit outdated Review: This book is excellent except for one error: women in the workforce. Perhaps at this age, women aren't as eager to leave the workforce after marriage as Linda would have you believe in her book...
Rating:  Summary: This book is good Review: This book is worth 100 times the asking price. The information contained inside is valueble to everyone's everyday life. Buy it,read it,live it
Rating:  Summary: QUITE GOOD, ASTONISHING, BUT NOT PERFECT Review: WHILE READING LINDA GOODMAN'S BOOK, I ONLY DISLIKED TWO THINGS, HER EXCESSIVE COMPLEMENTING OF HER OWN SIGN, ARIES, AND THE FACT THAT HER DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH SIGN WERE NOT QUITE ON TARGET. NONTHELESS, I SUGGEST THAT EVERYONE BUY HER BOOK. IT WAS A GREAT HELP IN MY STUDIES OF ASTROLOGY, AND BROUGHT A LOT OF INSIGHT INTO THE SUBJECT. IT WAS PERSONAL, INTERESTING, AND WELL WRITTEN. EXCELLENT PIECE OF WORK, AND I'M VERY GLAD I OWN A COPY. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE MY OPINION.
Rating:  Summary: Linda the Real Review: Linda was a true teacher. Her books, every last one of them, are spiritual primers of the highest order and for those, who want to take their seeking to a higher level, her books will give you the required , preparatory grounding and introduction. And from there, you take it to whatever level you want to go to. I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone. The mysteries of "Gooberz" got to me in the deepest, most profoundest sense, and I desperately needed answers to some of the myriad of questions it raised and was able to locate her former next-door neighbor, Ruth Cook in Cripple Creek, mentioned in that book. Linda passed on in October 1995 from adult onset diabetes and the mystery of Sally as mentioned in "Love Signs" and "Star Signs" was never fully solved. A body was discovered but Linda never accepted the results. Her twin married that cool-sure-Scorpio mentioned in Gooberz. As for her literary legacy, it's in the hands of a company now, which produced "Relationship Signs". Though that book is quite good in understanding the synastry of charts between two persons, reading it, one is immediately struck by the fact that it's not Linda writing. This is further exacerbated by some glaring astrological mistakes, and quite frankly, I don't think Linda would have been so sloppy. Some of the sentences are definitely her's, while the rest of it is patched up together and for the less-discerning reader to come off as Linda speaking. The real Linda Goodman magic, with her innate ability to click with the reader simply isn't there. Which brings into question the authenticity of future Linda Goodman books, my own feeling is try as that company might, those books won't fly. Linda's not here but her spirit lives on and I think she would want us to take her work and push it and take it to a higher level, whatever that level may be. I don't think she meant us to be spoon-fed and perhaps the lesson of her death despite "Physical Immortality" as per "Star Signs" was for us to keep learning on our own. If there is anyone out there with more info. on Linda and her life, please do contact me. GET ALL HER BOOKS, THEY ARE WORTH IT!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book! Review: I have this book and it is becoming very worn from reading it. I'm not one to live by horoscopes or anything like that, but this book came closer to describing the sun signs than anything I've ever read before. I was and still am, totally impressed.
Rating:  Summary: A masterpiece Review: Linda Goodman is brilliant. This book is so entertaining, and frightfully accurate. It not only gives you an analysis of your sign, but also you can find out more about your boss by his sign, your child even. This book even has a chapter on how to recognize what people's signs are. It works. I am an astrology junkie, and let me tell you, out of the 30 or so astrology books I own, this one has always been my favorite. Linda Goodman is the greatest astrologer and a brilliant writer. I would give this book 10 stars, not five. :)
