Reviews
Good Advice but
3By UR034More of a pamphlet.Believe the other reviews...
2By Angela_M_YThe 10 rules are fine and good advice, but don't bother getting the whole book for them. Just read the table of contents. The book isn't much more than that, unfortunately.Should be a free item
1By "2448"My first e-book and got cheated. The publisher quoted 97 pages and only 31 pages in the actual content. I want my money back. I should have bought his other book.Not worth the price.
2By Jammer88I've read blog entries bigger than this story. And I dot have to pay $10 to read them. The content is okay, but the price should be lowered to no more than $2. You're pretty much just buying the name at that point. I'm very disappointed I got suckered into buying this.little more than a paragraph
1By SnapeDudeThis is not a book. It is a sequence of very short paragraphs on no more than 42 pages. I want my money back.
