It was very exciting. Once I got started I couldn't put it down. I have started reading all of the Star Fleet Academy Star Trek The Next Generation books. This is a must for any Star Trek fan.

I am now 13 years old, and I still read this book (even though most of the time I read novels). It is an excellent book that any young Trekkie should have in his/her collection. Read it. You'll like it. :-)

This book is very appropriate for the stated reading level. It is very beautifully written and is most probably the best of the series. I enjoyed the intricate use of various phrases and how the plot slowly developed to allow the protagonists to overcome any difficulties that they faced. If you read this book, I would suggest other books by the same author. The style persists.

This is a "must read" for all people in every stage of their Christian life....especially those who bleed the blue of Kentucky. Cameron Mills is one of the most powerful speakers and writers I've ever seen.

After reading this book, I realized that with faith, anything is possible. I really enjoyed this book, and think it is a great book for anyone to read.

after i read the Jeff book i had to read this one this was not as good as Jeff A Heart of a Champion but it was a good story of a boy who fell in love with the wildcats and never wanted to go any were eles

I actually tried this method for several months, keeping an emotional journal. I had little success, nothing like what the book promised, but I didn't have a thorough understanding of the basics of the book's methods.

My emotions are responses to conditions that are important to me, and when they are not, then I decide that there's something wrong with the way my emotions are working. But whether my emotions work or not, I have to discover what they are a response to, and the book "The Emotional Hostage" tells a person how to do that. I didn't really consider that part of it when I starting using the models, I just assumed that I could decide what my emotions were made up of, and then control them. When that didn't work, I gave up on the book.

If you do what I mistakenly did the first time I read through the book and tried out it's methods, you'll find that it's easier to say to yourself "I'm not changing my emotional tempo correctly" than it is to say "I'm not really appreciating what my emotion is signaling" or "I don't know what my emotion is signaling". The book describes a "generative" method of responding to one's own emotions. If there's one thing worth taking away from the book, that method is it.

You need to learn how to respond to your emotions before you consider the details of your emotional elements, because you'll find that emotional elements are conceptually slippery. What the authors mean by them are actually obvious behaviors you notice are a part of your emotions. For me they were conceptual ??? whenever I thought of them, but I still told myself that I felt an emotional element ("I'm feeling an emotional element!") when I didn't even know how to identify them.

So read the book thoroughly, and then decide for yourself what evidence of your emotions are ones you associate with a particular emotional element. Learning to change that element may then have an effect that you need to change your emotions, just like the book promises. Or you can fritter your time away like I did, wondering if what you're feeling is an "emotional element".

Seen in retroperspective I should have dedicated my book "7 Steps to Emotional Intelligence" to Leslie-Cameron, given that reading her book helped me to write a reply to Goleman's book. Out of respect for her work, I keep refering people to this book.

The biggest "mistake" of this book is that it appeared 10 years too early, long before Goleman made the term "emotional intelligence" popular. Yet it does a far better job than Goleman when it comes to helping people to increase their EQ.

Leslie Cameron is one of the co-founders of NLP, even if she now has moved on and seems to be "lost" to the NLP community. I keep wondering where the field of emotional intelligence would have stood if Leslie would have kept up her work in this area.

Conclusion: even now this remains one of the best books on the topic of emotional intelligence. I hope that readers of my book will feel that it's complementary.

Patrick E.C. Merlevede, MSc -- co-author of "7 Steps to Emotional Intelligence"

The best book I've ever read on emotions. I refer back to it often. Worth studying and incorporating into your own life.

I like author's approach to things. He does not scare the reader away; he does not sound like "the all-knowing, arrogant Hollywood pro". He is trying to be helpful and more or less encouraging. Yet, he does talk about how things are in Hollywood realistically. He does want you, the reader, to take his advice and to try Hollywood out with his help. This book is not a must-have, but read it, just in case, if you have a chance.

A great book. Helped me get my first Hollywood job

Starving in the streets of production village? Burns' book will teach you the basics of making connections in the film industry. Complete with names and numbers of industry resources, this book can help you find a job in Hollywood.

As a serious child cook, I enjoy testing recipes. One of my least favorite dishes, however, came from " The Supper Book ", which I had bought in the form of " Marion Cunningham's Good Eating ". Well, the Tamale Pie was not good eating. While the filling was delicious and nicely spiced, the cornmeal mush used as a crust never thickened, and remained the consistancy of Cream Of Wheat even after baking, forming a gloppy mush on the plate that looked really unappetizing. Worse yet, the quanity the recipe made was immense, and it filled our largest pan, which was about 2 1/2" deep, 2' long, and 1' wide. Are any other recipes in this book good? Beats me. Just avoid that hideous Tamale Pie.

I had an old clipping of Cunningham's lemon yogurt breakfast muffin recipie and was delighted to find a copy of it with other equally wonderful offerings here. The supper recipies are simple but elegant. If you are into nouvelle,fusion,gourmet prescription-this is not for you, but this is the food that my family likes to eat, and it is a cut above.

These are delicious recipes, well explained. The breakfasts as well as the suppers would be suitable for a satisfying (yet not too large or complicated) supper. I was impressed by Marion Cunningham from her revision of Fannie Farmer. This book shows her own personality much more and made me want to declare her an "honorary aunt" in our house.

This is a great idea... I really want to meet the author! She cracks me up!

Sleazeballs might have their Little Black Books, and Suits might keep addresses on Rollodex, but where do Bad Girls put the phone numbers of their accomplices and prospective bootie calls?

In the wake of Cameron Tuttle's immensely popular series comes the next most logical accessory -- the Bad Girl's Little Pink Book. It's an adorable little address book with a cute pink-and-lime color scheme, alphabetical tabs, even complete with spaces for name, address, email, phone, cell, birthday, shoe size, and "bad girl alias," which, as any road tripping devotee knows, is constructed of variables including, but not limited to, your pet's name, mother's maiden name, middle name, or the street you live on. The book is functional and virtually frill-less, and just small enough for your handbag.

Of course, consequently, the spaces are a little too small at times for entries -- phone numbers and hotmail email addresses barely fit -- but if you're a fan of the series or have trouble keeping up with friends because it's too boring to stay organized, amuse yourself (and your friends) with this spicy little address book. And finally transcribe all those numbers you've been keeping on cocktail napkins.

I love Cameron Tuttle! This address book appeared just as I was looking for a new one (my old SARK one was getting very tattered). It's small enough to fit in a purse, and the vinyl cover makes it harder to crunch and munch the pages. Plus, it's got areas for birthdays, email, and shoe size. What more could a gal want? Okay, maybe a martini....

It could have been a great book if it hadn't been for all the obscene language, and talk. The B-word was used pretty often, and it can be offending. It was a great book in other ways, though. Like a well devloped charcter, though I think that the author spent way too much time focusing on Cameron's parents, and family. Who cares about her mother being a photographer, and her dad a peditrician. Who cares?

Cameron:The Sorority was a great book. It was really realistic. I'm glad that there is a book that really tell how College Life is- the good the bad and the evil

Excellent. The most realistic books about college for young adults you'll find on the shelf today. However, it is supposed to be discountined, and that is really too bad. Because this is a great series! Great! Cameron is a good charcter, and it's sad how her own grand parents didn't want to see her because she was mulatto (half white-half black). But a good book none the less. Although, I thought that it was a little extreme with Tad and Cameron wanting to sleep toghter on the first date. But that's college life.

Those familiar with Cameron Judd's work will not be surprised by the well developed characters and intricate plot twists. For anyone who is not acquainted with the author, Corrigan will serve as a good introduction. The book is short (roughly 180 pages) and it's populated by three-dimensional individuals. With the right mixture of suspense, romance, tragedy, and inspiration, Corrigan leaves you with a good feeling. Anyone who is leery about picking up an unfamiliar author for fear of encountering gratuitous sex, violence, or profanity, can rest assured Corrigan--like all of Judd's books that I have read so far--proves that it is very possible to tell an adult story without any of the above.

I would also like to add that I am not your typical western fan. With the exception of Cameron Judd's book, I have probably only read three or four westerns.

There is a lot going on in this story. Plot twists galore...you never know what is going to happen next. It explores Tuck's feelings toward his family in a way that let's us all feel his emotions. It is also filled with action. Love stories are included as well. In my opinion, this book has it all.

Having read several Cameron Judd stories I feel as if I can tell you, yes read it, and you will want to read more of Judd's books. This particular book sends an 18 yr. old boy, from a small Wyoming ranch, scouting the Southeastern territory of Montana in search of his older brother to bring him home to see his dying father. During this adventure he meets a wonderfull girl, sees men killed, is nearly killed himself, almost gets hung and finally --- THE END

Some problems remain in human society whether we have solutions to them or not. As examples, drug-addiction and obesity are still problems for many people, despite the solutions already available to treat drug-addiction or reduce obesity.

The authors of "Know How" belong to a popular field of psychology called "NLP". Some NLP books overstate the value of the book in teaching you the method the book describes. But the authors of "Know How" teach you working methods to improve problem areas in your life. And are those methods always successful? No, but they're good.

"Know How" contains stories of people who succeed or fail in particular areas of their life. The stories illustrate how personal behavior makes the difference in our lives. The stories are simple to follow, so you can check if your life is similar to a character's in a story.

I don't think reading "Know How" is a sure help for anything. But the book teaches you successful behaviors for relating well, eating well, exercising consistently, parenting well, and drinking cautiously. "Know How" provides practical and jargon-free advice to the ordinary person.

A good book.

Perhaps a little dated, look at more recent offerings from the authors and Richard Bandler.

Very stepwise structured approach to self development.

Take a look at the book "Solutions" by same authors ... also very good, to do with relationships.

This book is a must read for any person who wants straight forward advise and workable applications on how to improve some specific, but commonly human self destructive patterns of behavior. Even for thoses rare few, who have no such self destructive traits, the book shows how to master life.

I have read two books from this series and neither were to impressive. This books main charactor was charming and interesting and getting introduced to her psychic ability of touching an object of a missing person/child and then entering into the thoughts of that person is quite a well read UNTIL about half way through when that darn plot gets in the way. This book is rightfully written for the young adult. I like reading young adult for easy reading which this book provided but the problem was that the plot had a twist (farely obvious one) that made a decent but very obvious story into a bareable one. The cuteness factor is pretty high, but at the same time it doesn't even go to far indepth in any detail that really gives a book some weight.

Amy has clairvoyance. She used to use her gift to help find missing people. All she has to do is touch something that meant a lot to the person, and she is in their head, seeing what they see.
After a specific case that she can't seem to shake off, Amy quits working with the police. She is fine until one day she is sought out by a man named Elmore Granger who asks that she find his son Nick.
She eventually gets inside Nicks head, and finds out that he is underwater in a coffin. She uses her ability to comfort Nick, and feels a strong connection with him--a connection she cant seem to get rid of.
She has to find him. But will she get there before it's too late?
This was a wonderful book! I really loved it! It was beautifully written and i couldn't put it down!

Okay, I would've preferred more love scenes or something, but it was great, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I started reading it in bed, and didn't turn of the light till I was done! (9:30pm--1:00am!) Read this book! You won't be dissapointed!
