Review title: A chore to read Product review: This book rambled on and on in many parts, providing the reader with many nonessential details. On the plus side, the character of Pam Mantiss provided much needed comic relief, causing me to laugh out loud at some of her wisecracks. But alas, such comic moments were few and far between and even the invincible Pam Mantiss couldn't save this book. I enjoyed having my wisdom teeth extracted much more than I enjoyed reading this book. Do NOT read this book on your lunch breaks at work -- it's guaranteed to put you to sleep!
Ans: decrease

Review title: Magnum is one of my favorites, the humor is fantastic Product review: Watching the back-and-forth comments between Magnum and Higgins (not to leave out TC and Rick) makes for an evenings fun. When there's no good sports event or TV program on... no worry, get out your Magnum!

Review title: Five stars for being the ONLY useful reference. Product review: As the GRE/CS approaches, I must point out that this book is the only available material of any use, except for copies of the first two editions, now out of print. It is true that no solutions are provided; it is equally true that the questions one encounters on the actual exam may appear to share little content with the questions in this book, but they are indeed like these questions. Solving these will help you on the exam, point simple. The list of topics and their scope is reasonably accurate. That alone is worth the price of the book, because you will know what to study and you will see that your enemy (be it circuits or finite automata or whatever) can only bite so hard. The books (and earlier editions) have helped my students and me take this exam successfully. I wish there were a better book, but so far there isn't.

Review title: A must read for professionals in any field Product review: In summary, I am in full agreement with all of the positive reviews posted here, however, I also agree with the various criticisms I have read - hopefully they will be noted by the authors and incorporated into a revised and improved next edition.I found myself enlightened, inspired but unsatisfied after reading this book and wanted more real-life story examples and advice for how to apply the knowledge in my career and personal life. I particularly liked reading examples of how some people overcame their weaknesses with their strengths and would have liked more of this inspirational material.I would suggest hunting around and reading the various other strengths-related books from Gallup in order to fill-in the gaps and provide other perspectives. Also, "Unique Ability" by Catherine Nomura and Julia Waller is rather complementary.
