Review title: From a big Dave Barry fan Product review: I love Dave Barry's writing. This one is short and sweet, the perfect size. He talks about the difference between men, boys, and the topic of the book: guys! He really puts down the male, and being one myself, I can not blame him. He discusses the simple-minded-ness of guys and their stupidity. For instance, he talks about a true story where a guy siphons off gasoline with a vacuum cleaner (just picture the result of such stupidity). Of course he picks the extremes of guys, but bashes the whole gender for acting like these few. It is absolutely hilarious. This was my second favorite Dave Barry book, right next to Dave Barry's Money Secrets.

Review title: All business, no technology. Bad business at that. Product review: This is basically one long "I Love You" note to Ken Olson. There are little to no details on what DEC actually produced, just how great their management team was. And from talking to people that worked there, it wasn't as utopian as this book would lead you to believe.I would have given more than two stars if the book didn't have the word "technology" as part of the title. I'll admit, I was fooled. If you're looking for a book on how to write managerial process PowerPoints, this is a good start.

Review title: Changing Lives Product review: I am completely thrilled at the way these books are changing lives around me. A friend recommended them shortly after the series started and I was instantly hooked. Since then I have marvelled at the number of "not-religious" people who get chills reading the books and can't put them down. They are easy enough for anyone to understand the simple truth in them. My friends and family have become engrossed in the stories of these peoples' lives. In my opinion, nothing short of the apocalypse could have had such an impact on the world.
