Not bad, but contains some errors. For example on page 29 thedescription of Radial and Ulnar loops is incorrect. You can'tdifferentiate between the two types unless you know which hand theycome from.

As an uninformed infant, I knew very little about the Watergate affair besides general details until I read this book. Thus, if knowing who Bebe Rebozzo strikes you as important and you don't have the patience to wade through a Nixon biography, this book is for you. The essays are obviously collected from news-paper columns, since they often feature the same litany of facts about Watergate over and over, meaning that the humore quickly wears off. The book does feature some truly witty columns however, such as an imagined conversation between Brezhnev and Kissinger.

with 16 separate projects and only 277 pages of text relating to those projects (the remainder of the 440 pages contains an assortment of appendixes), you can guess that there's not a lot of meat to any of these projects. while the projects are interesting and serve as a jumping off point for further self-discovery you don't get the feeling that you've really learned much about any of the subjects by reading the book. the author basically gives you a couple of pages of high level overview and then dumps out the source code for the project. i would have preferred half the number of projects and a more indepth discussion of the issues and considerations surrounding each of the projects.

This book was not very interesting. It started off with Margaret Cooper, the main character getting married. She wrote a letter to her friend Tom Cribbins, saying she wanted a divorce from her husband to be free like him. Margaret threw away the letter, but didn't know that her housekeeper had picked it up. Within a week, Margaret's husband died. Margaret was blamed and Etta, her housekeeper, went against Margaret saying Margaret did it. She went on trial and was found innocent. Margaret moved out to a house flat where she could live in piece. Her attorney, Aubrey Fielding, came to visit Margaret one day and they hit it off. After 2 months, they got married. That was when Margaret received a blackmail letter. It said arrive at a place so she went. It was Etta blackmailng her. That went on through the whole book. Margaret then went to Arthur Crook complaining about the blackmail and being accused of murdering her husband. Mr. Crook said all they had to do was wait. Murder was a waiting game. So Margaret waited, until she visited Etta again, saw the conversation being recorded, and smashed the recorder. Etta's husband then came and saw Margaret saying Etta was dead. Arthur was also hit and injured being pushed down a flight of stairs. Through the rest of the book, Etta's husband blackmailed Margaret and Arthur was frantically figuring it out. This book was not that interesting. I only gave it 2 stars. I would only recommend this book to people who follow long murder's with no action.

The factual information is quite good. But don't read it for the writing style. The life of this amazing women is completely undervalued. The problem is that the author doesn't make things sound real. The story is told without ever making you believe that this is a real person and not just some embodiment of this voice for women's rights. None of the characters have much depth and all of the plot is told in the simplest language possible. There is nothing for the senses. Another thing is that this book really talks down to you. I almost didn't believe that this author had read Nellie McLung's autobiography. Because usually autobiographies give a fairly good impression of the person's style and emotional state. I'd give this book no more then two stars because of the information. But not the best book yet.
