question:
disappointed . This book was entertaining, but... there is only one 19-page chapter dedicated to the problem of "inappropriate elimination" (peeing/pooping in the wrong place), even though the author himself describes it as "the number one behavior problem".  He says "No other problem causes so much grief and leads them so often to consider the final solution of euthanasia".  I want to ask the author: given that, don't you think most people are buying the book for that reason and you should have dedicated more time to this topic???  The stories in that chapter did not contain any revelations for me - his examples all had fairly obvious causes and were easy to fix, such as the owner changed the litter box, boyfriend moved in, owner had 2 litter boxes for 6 cats, or the cat is doing it out of anxiety and responds nicely to medication (lucky them).  Throughout the book, I wish he had spent less time making cute anecdotes and more time detailing possible effective interventions
answer:
NEG


question:
A must-read. Period. . I recently read Berlinski's book as well as Bawer's "While Europe Slept"  and "Anti-Americanism" by Jean Francois Revel. These are very important books in that they shed light on the mythology of the American Left, according to which Europe (Western Europe, that is) is the Promised Land. Since they detest America, they need to find some model to emulate. Well, on closer inspection Europe is not it. Today's Europe had been left hopelessly behind. It lives off the corpses of the past, and having been given a sense of security (by the American foreign policy and its military might) and illusion of prosperity (originally spawned by US economic aid and today dependent on US spending power!), they feel superior to the US. Anyone who ever debated angry Europeans will quickly discover that the superiority is really a reaction to their profound inferiority complexes.    Disregard the one-star reviews. An M. McDonald below claims that the book is "short on facts"... This from a guy who claims that Germany is the world's largest exporter... Forgot to mention though that it's the larger exporter of MERCHANDISE. If you add services, the US exports are at $1.15 trillion vs. Germany's $893B. And, thanks to diversification, the US is less vulnerable to global economic slowdowns. McDonald's is wrong. He's wrong about public education too: Europe's schools are "vastly superior"?...Does he have any idea what goes on in the schools of Paris, London and Rome?? he says China not seen as a threat to EU? Anyone who's been to Italy recently, with interests going deeper than gelato, surely must have seen numerous campaigns against Chinese textile imports. My bet? In 5-6 yrs we will be buying superior quality suits made in China for $500 vs. Zegna's $1800 outfits. Indeed, nothing to worry about. Etecetera, etcetera.    Read this and the other books I mentioned so you can be immune to and be able to eloquently respond to this type of leftist pap
answer:
POS


question:
Beautifully done! . Elizabeth Strout comes back better than ever with this wonderfully written story. A family subsumed by grief, confined by societal norms, is able to, in their own way, overcome obstacles and begin to find the true meaning of love. Unfortunately, the ending didn't quite live up to the rest of the book, but still well worth a read
answer:

POS
