Review title: A waste of precious trees Product review: I was so disappointed in this book, especially after reading so many wonderful things about it in every magazine that reviewed it. Fortunately, I waited until it ended up in the remainder bin, and only paid $7 for it. The characters are shallow and one-dimensional, and the writing is so overwrought and pretentious; I found it painful to read. Ms. Eberstadt has no understanding of what it is to be an artist. She writes from the viewpoint of a rich society girl. I couldn't get through the book; I stopped halfway through in disgust.

Review title: This book is a rip-off. Very disappointing Product review: I really was dissapointed with this book.I thought I'd learn some "insider secrets" as Corey Rudl says in the title, but it only deals with general knowledge! This book is a compilation of some useless "free reports" that you can find anywhere on the internet...for free.Eric

Review title: disappointed Product review: I can't even describe how disappointed I was by this book. I love Michaels' other books - I own them all, but this was a disaster. It didn't even appear to have been edited - throughout the second story, the name of one character is constantly switching between Harry and Henry, sometimes on the same page. Overall, it was not chilling or witty like her other books. The writing seemed flat, which surprised me since all of her other books are wonderful reads.
