PROBLEM: Disjointed Narrative . I had originally seen this book as a subject of PBS' Frontline several months ago. I was enthralled by the subject matter and decided to get a copy from the local library and read about it myself. What a mistake. The PBS Frontline TV program was so much better than the book. I found Maraniss'  switch from the Viet Nam story to the University of Wisconsin protest story very aggravating; and, as another reader mention, it made for a very disjointed narrative. The juxtapositioning of the two narratives does not work!    I found myself more interested in the war portion of the book than reading about Soglin and his friends embroiled in a protest against Dow Chemical. Frankly, I found this portion of the book to be quite a bore and it almost ruined the book for me. Who cares about college kids and their protesting episodes. It is simply not important.     If you are interested in reading the book, read the Nam portion and skip the protest chapters. Better yet, catch the Frontline episode and skip the book completely.

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Another wonderful resource . The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent is another wonderful resource on the Law of Attraction.  While it doesn't contain as many "new" insights as I had hoped, the material is (as always) thought provoking and energizing.  An easy read with outstanding examples of how to apply the principles of attraction in your life

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: Waste of Time! . I'm SO glad I got this book from the library instead of buying it.  It was worth the 75c hold fee, but not much more.  I was expecting "stuff you can make with whatever small amounts of yarn you have in your stash", but got "stuff you can make with a few skeins of expensive luxury yarns".  There are VERY few projects in here I'd ever consider making.  If I should decide I want to make one, I'll check the book out again, but I won't be buying this for myself or anyone else, ever

SOLUTION:
NEG
