Question: A fast paced look at downtown NYC post 9-11 . I enjoyed this book.  A portrait of an actress trying to search for  her place in the world after witnessing the fall of the twin towers.  Great details for those familiar with the locations and people that make downtown New York its own universe.  Some names are changed to protect the innocent, but even if you have never ventured south of Times Square, I believe you will be able to enjoy these characters and their attempts to "make it".  A quick read (I finished this in one sitting and I am not a fast reader), fast paced, smart and funny.  I am looking forward to reading other books by this author

Answer: POS


Question: Based on the wrong premise . The authors of this book seem to believe that the best individual performers should become managers - that is not something that I can agree with. It is full of pompous language (I do not want to see the word empowerment again in my whole life) instead of real-world advice. I simultaneously bought the book First-Time Manager and it is much better

Answer: NEG


Question: Best of the 4-Volume Set but.... . This is the best starting book for anyone who wants to delve into hypnosis. But it is often available as used book only and is the first in a 4-vol set. But soon (sometime in early 2006), there will be a 8-vol (yes, 8 books in a set) set in a single CD that also comes with audio and bonus video and at $75!    Back about this book... It tells you experiments and findings of tests conducted on hypnotized subjects and how they react to suggestions by the "hypnotizer" and also what happens when they are told to do things (while in trance) that they would not do in normal consciousness.      The sections on Trance and Suggestions are excellent; perhaps the best OVERVIEW of trance and how suggestions work.    Much of the material is suitable for a hypnotherapist to use in a pre-talk to trance induction

Answer:
NEG
