Title: The Disapointment Review: I realize that Stephen King is one of the most esteemed writers of our generation, but you couldn't prove it by this 'book' (actually a short story lifted from a book of collected stories). To say that this novella is wordy is an understatement. It takes a full 1/4 of the book to get the story going and when it finally gets underway, the action/scary parts are relatively few and far between, and the ending, well, isn't really an ending but more like Mr. King simply got bored and walked away. I'm a huge fan of Mr. King and I thought the premise of the book to be really interesting but it just is not up to par with some of his other works that he has put more thought and interest into. As a short story (which should be offered for 99 cents), I would recommend it as something to pass the time, but put out as a book (for $6.99), you should give The Mist a Miss!

Title: BEWARE this "sage" Review: You've got to be kidding! Here's the author's main recommendation: Carry a large mortgage and instead of paying it off, invest money in the stock market because "you can easily make 10% returns a year." If that's true, why did so many people lose their life savings recently in stocks and mutual funds? Of course, this guy is a fund manager, which is why he is trying to convince people to invest. BEWARE this sly salesman!!! Edelman encourages people to invest the money they should be using to pay off the mortgage because "mortgage interest is tax-deductable." True, but that does not mean the IRS refunds ALL of your mortgage interest. It is still costing you money, so why gamble on stocks that might lose money when you know you can be paying off your house and having that security? If you are into the idea of "leveraging" then this book might be for you. But most "ordinary Americans" would be better served looking elsewhere.

Title: Be Cautious. Review it first. Review: We had this as our text in a graduate level digital controls class, and my own impression of it, as well as the impression of others, was that it was extremely hard to follow. Communicating engineering concepts is challenging, and I am afraid that this book does not meet that challenge very well. When I finally obtained an understanding of a subject through outside study and assistance from a teaching assistant, I tried to review the subject using this text, but found myself becoming confused all over again. The author is well known and highly respected in this field, but I feel that this book needs to be carefully rewritten for clarity and ease of understanding. You may wish to get a library copy and review it first before committing yourself (or your class) to it. Thank you. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?
