I am ashamed to say that I read this whole book. I kept telling myself that it would get better...it didn't. This book seemed very unorganized. I am use to a book "flowing"...it jumped from one plot to the other. The grammar was horrible also! I honestly believe that the plot could have been great if it was well written.

I believe Mr. Bailey meant well, but I will not purchase another book by him. If anything I owe him my thanks...now that I have read his book, I am encouraged to write my own book! If he could get this book published, I can definately get a book published...anyone can!!

First of all I give much respect to Mr. Bailey for getting a book published. But after the first chapter, I had to put the book down because I became frustrated at how the book started. It seemed to be various storylines and situations in one chapter and nothing seemed to make any sense. Maybe someone else might be able to read through the confusion and finish this book. I hope Mr. Bailey's next release is much better than this one.

I always look for books on how to take care of curly hair because, well, I have it! This book was helpful within the first three pages but went downhill from there. They're were no pictures, models or hair-y stories from the author. Overall, I just didn't like it. I thoroughly recommend "No Lye" or "Curly Girl" instead of this...just horrible!

After purchasing Pamela Ferrell's book Let's Talk Hair, I decided to buy this one for more styling options. I was suprised to see the horrible lack of information for hair care and hair styling. This book provides no information on a maintenance regime, the hair products section goes into great detail on all the chemicals and ingredients in products but doesn't tell how to choose products or what products on the market are good, and the styling section has little information for home styling. The author goes into great detail on hair makeup and on what actually is in hair products along with a very detail nutritional guide on all the ingredients in food. The hair styling section is basically about popular braiding styles and a few natural styles like the 'fro and the twist out 'fro, and some information on locking. Overall, don't waste your money or time on this book.

Such an interesting premise ... what happened to Sally Bowles after the Cabaret?

What a disappointing execution of a potentially fascinating premise.

Sally's conversion to Communism is impossible to swallow. From 'divine decadence' to Marxism? It makes little sense given any of the myriad characterizations of Sally, and the author does not deign to give us any possible reason for her revolutionary change in outlook. Part of her charm has been in her blindness to the political climate that, unbeknownst to her, shapes and guides her. After the Cabaret, in ignoring that tradition, leaves the reader with the impression that the author wanted to write a story that had nothing to do with the Isherwood, or Broadway, or Film images of Sally. The whole project smacks of an attempt to cash in on the Sally Bowles name; this book has nothing to do with the Sally I know.

That combined with the boring, mudane, turgid, never-ending, meandering prose just killed this book for me. Don't waste your time.

all boo

I am a professional instructor and must warn anybody who is thinking of buying this book: it is simply *horrible*! There are many mistakes in the book, the grammar is too simple and the listening section is amateurish. There are much better choices!

Try the Longman book! It is 1,000 times better!

This book is about a group of kids who discover that their substitute teacher is not only a football player for the town team but the bogeyman. While there real teacher {who they think is a vampire} is sick they, they have a very strange sub teacher.
He is tall with large muscle and always wears dark clothes. When a certain kid doesn't do his homework the teacher says he will get him and that night the boy couldn't sleep because there was a strange noise under his bed. His friends thought nothing of it until kids all over the school were scared to sleep. They went to a football game and snuck into the locker room to snoop through the teacher's locker. When they discover his secret he disappears and the regular teacher comes back to school.

Her sense of what is interesting is clearly at fault, as is her weight and her sense of humour. Notice the many references to the word "Clinton" on its own, supposedly implying a humourous context. As far as this book is concerned, the only humour comes from Miss Peele's own didactic approach to American Politics, her lack of clarity, her appalling and verging on the incomprehensible style, and the lack of a picture to make the humour provided (unintentional, of course) complete.

I need to have this book for my class.

Another piece of September 11th memorabilia. Put it next to recent editions of Nostradamus and the tarot cards.

It is obvious that very little thought went into the creation of this book. Each page has a photo with three or four lines of text. However, even in those instances where the picture holds an opportunity to impart the most basic of information to its young readers, the book fails short. For instance, pictures of how to hold a racket are intermediate range with no close ups or diagrams to give any sense of the prip. Overall, the book lacks a logical path, rambling from pictures of clothes in tennis shops to a final picture showing obvious cutouts of children playing in a "tournament" with a "crowd" hastily sketched in. Even at its low price the book was not worth it to our kids because it gave no real information.
