Cheetahs Books

Cheetah Files was a great escape, with the perfect mix of action and character development. I love to read but have limited time, and I am constantly frustrated by the lack of quality action/intrigue books there are out there. Cheetah Files was quite a breath of fresh air amid so many canned storylines, kudos to Mr. Walker - I can't wait for the next one!

I really enjoyed this book. Being an avid reader I can tell by reading the first few pages if I am going to enjoy a book and this one interested me from the start. I would definitedly like to see some more "Cheetah Files". The characters were intersting and believeable. Just the right kind of action and intrigue.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. As long as Walker keeps churning them out, I'll keep adding more logs to the fire.

Excellent writing. Good plot and well organized. I look forward to the next one.

This was an excellent "spy" novel. Not your usual thriller, this one takes you right to the thick of things and gives you all the details you need to paint your own picture. The characters are brilliant. This would indeed make a great movie. Hector is the hero we all need right now, a man of character, honesty, and he can take care of business. Every nuance of the story pulls you in and takes you somewhere relevant to the story. A must read.

The characters in this book are four famous girls. There names are Galleria, Dorinda, Channel, and Aqua. Dorinda is there best dancer that teaches them the moves that they will need for there next chance to be on stage. Aqua is there best singer because she has such a great voice. Channel and Galleria are the ones who work together to write the songs and make the cover on there disk. Aqua, Dorinda, Galleria, and Channel meet Jackel Johnson and get this big chance to live there world wide dream. But Galleria says no and decides to turn her back away from this big chance. Latter her and Dorinda, and Aqua, and Channel meet down town because Galleria's dog gets stuck and shows up on live tv. You wanna now if they become friends again well you'll half to find out yourself by reading this magnificent book. This was typed by: Jenny

Hello.
I'm a Cheetah Girls fan. This book is special. Because it tells different stories from each girl.

Wishing On A Star: You mostly get to know Galleria in this book. So yeah, this is mostly about Galleria with The Cheetah's, Chanel, and the weird guy, Derek with this sidekick, Macarol. Spelling this right??? But anyway, this book is funny and fun!

Shop In The Name Of Love: Chanel uses her mothers credit card and she visits her stepmothers salon. Her mother gets angry. But later lends Chanel the credit card for one thing. Chanel buys more like 20 different things. Then, she gets in big trouble and has to work at Toto in New York....Fun in Diva Sizes. [ Galleria's mothers shop.]This book is hip and hot!

Who's Bout To Bounce: This one's magical. It's amazing how Dorinda has so many brothers and sisters. She really loves them. Miss Bosco [ Her Foster Mom.] Has an adoption party. But, the twist is, for " reasons" she can't adopt her. It's a good book.

Hey, Ho Hollywood!: This is a great book. Angie and Aqua's dad's girlfriend Aballa Shalla whatever. But they [ Cheetah Girls] perform at the Apollo theater and they lose. But this book is sweet.


This is one sassy book! Buy this lovely book!

It's Awesome!

This is a great book! I first saw the movie and it was GREAT! So then I decided to read the books.It only took me about 5 days to read this book,because I got into it. It is worth every penny and you won't be dissapointed!

This is a very touching, and very unusual book.

It's told from the point of view of an intelligent cheetah, born with a black pelt, and takes place in an alternate earth which, it seems, was ruled by an Egyptian culture. Kichebo's black fur makes it difficult for her to hunt and ambush, and draws the hostile attention of strange flying craft. An outcast among her own kind, Kichebo struggles to find a place for herself in her harsh world.

This is a very unique book that will stick in your memory, if you can manage to find a copy. If you like cheetahs or Egypt (or both) you will adore this novel. (I treasure my copy, even though it has very damaged covers - I found it at a used book store, lucky for me!)

This book was wonderfully writen by C.B. I could tell of her love for big cats as she was extreamly descriptive in her protrayal of these animals. The story is all set in the past, however there are two time periods that she bounces between in this story. Also there are some elements of the future written in as well, but the setting described is still in a time that we all have long lived through. I wont go into details about the storyline of this book as others before me already have, but I will say that this is an excellent book for young adults who love sci-fi elements as well as eygptian mythology and stories, ans espicially for the young adult who loves big cats being the protagonist of stories.

I fuond this rare gem of a book when I was much younger and not too long ago I remembred this book and also the fact that I hadn't finished it.(It was a library book). That is what led me to buy it again and re-read it. Although I enjoyed finishing this book finally, as an adult I wouldn't reccomend this book for older audiences. Certain parts of the plot would leave older readers wanting if a past relationship wasn't already developed with this book. That being said. Young readers... Enjoy! This is a rarity.

Tomorrow's Sphinx is an extremely imaginative and thought provoking read. With wonderful characters and beautiful descriptions, Clare Bell has created an exquisite world like no other.
Kichebo, a cheetah who's lucky to have survived past year one, is not like the rest of her kin. She is unique in the sense that she is black with gold tear lines, gold ear tips, and a gold tail tip, and that she is mentally different from her brethren. Shunned because of her differences, Kichebo is destined to find out that she is different in a way that she could never have fathomed. Through the guidance of Asu-Kheknemt, a long dead cheetah who protected and befriended Tutankhamen, a wise, grayed cheetah named Gray Cape, and the affectionate human child, Menk, Kichebo will soon discover what her place in the world is, and find herself.
I would highly reccomend this book to anyone who wants a fresh original fantasy read, you will not be dissapointed!!

I love this book! I found it in my school library a few months ago, and since then have read it at least four times. The story involes a type of cats and Egypt, both things I like. Now if only I could get my friend to read it.....But really, anyone who loves books in different times and/or cats will(or should) like this book!

Kichebo is a black cheetah, born in a far-flung future. Unlike the gold-coated, black spotted cheetahs around her, her coat is sable with gold markings. Everywhere she goes, she is hunted by strange creatures in sky vehicles that try to capture her. Unable to find acceptance or safety among her kind, she makes contact with another--amazingly like herself. Kehknemt lived thousands of years ago, the companion of an Egyptian Prince. Through these shared memories across time, and the strange friendship Kichebo strikes up with small two-legged creature, the black cheetah hopes to find the answers to the questions of why she is so different, and what her future might hold.

Clare Bell has a real love of the big cats, and provides an insightful look into the lives of these large hunters. Her depiction of the cheetah society does not try to over-anthropomorphize the cats into human beings. Although they communicate in a sentient manner and are provided with personality and purpose, their behaviors and lifestyles remain those of powerful semi-solitary predators. It makes for an interesting glimpse into how an intelligent society of cats might develop. Beyond this, Kichebo's story is one coming of age and discovery of self. The questions Kichebo most seeks an answer to are: "Why am I so different?" and "What is the meaning of my life?" Questions that are universal and easy to understand, if not easy to answer. Kichebo is destined to take her people in a new direction, one she never imagined. The time travel aspect of this book gives us a fascinating look into what might have been in the days of King Tutankhamen, and the reasons behind the young King's early death.

This book is written with young readers in mind, much of Kichebo's search for self and struggle to become who she is will echo with adolescents who are going through the same struggle. I read this book in my teens and have reread it several times since. I think adult readers will find the story lacks the kind of mature sophistication they might be used to in adult science fiction, but it fits the intended readership well. For those who enjoy this book, see if you can find Ratha's Creature, also by Clare Bell.

Happy Reading! Shanshad ^_^

Michelle's book on negotiation techniques is well worth the money. I bought two copies and sent one to my son in Law School and the other to a friend. For those people seeking their Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, Cheetah is the BEST place to take the exam prep class. I did and passed the first time. Read the book and apply her proven techniques for winning your own negotiation sessions.

This book is a very good complement to other books covering negotiations in general. It covers negotiations soft skills, including personality assessments. It focuses on projects, but can be used in other contexts. There are many useful tools and templates.

Cheetah Negotiations: How to Get What You Want, Fast by Michelle LaBrosse, PMP and Linda Lansky, PMP. MAKLAF Press LLC, Carson City, NV, 2005 ISBN: 0-9761749-2-8.

Spock, Sarek, Tapal and Tuvok would all agree, as would all Trekkies everywhere, that this book is the essence of logic. Its message is simple and clear and it is presented in a manner which is equally simple and clear. Although authors LaBrosse and Lanksy don't anywhere specifically say it in these words, after reading their little (169 pages) book, one is certainly left with the impression that there is little that is magic or hidden in the fine art of successful negotiations.

This book presents a comprehensive look at negotiating and is equally useful, whether you are entering negotiations on a multi-million dollar development contract, a pay raise with your boss, a difficult divorce, or your child's latest gift request list. How can it do that? By keeping things simple. The authors break negotiating down into four basic elements and then carefully walk you through each one of them, explaining it, showing you how to do it, providing tools, techniques and templates for you to use, giving you exercises to practice practical application, and throwing in some tips, hints and examples to guide you.

They begin at the beginning, a very good place to start. The first element is knowing who you are and knowing with whom you are negotiating. The authors present a very welcome and much overdue simplified explanation of the Myers-Briggs personality types. Finally, not only is Myers-Briggs understandable, but you can see its practical and useful application. Know your own personality type, know the other guy's or gal's personality type, and you will then have a pretty good idea about how your personalities will interact. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that knowing in advance how the other side is likely to react gives you a bit of an edge. Add in some techniques for speed-reading the personality types with whom you're dealing and, therefore, how to best present certain issues to them so you can manage their reactions, and you begin to appreciate that this book presents some pretty powerful and useful techniques.

Next they turn to the heart of the matter: what do you want, what do the other guys/gals want, and how to get prepared for the actual negotiations. Naturally, it is not enough to simply know what you want, you must know what it is you absolutely cannot surrender. What is your GUAL (Get Up And Leave) point? What is your BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement)? What is the ZOPA (Zone of Possible Agreement)? What is the impact of the importance of your relationship with the other party? All these are explored and explained. In addition, they also take you through preparing for negotiations, the importance of physical exercise, stretching and breathing, techniques for stress relief, roles to play during negotiations and when (e.g., good cop, bad cop), and even the physical aspects of the negotiating/meeting room environment.

The third element focuses on the actual negotiations themselves. The authors take you through and explain the five "scenes" that are common to every negotiation: planning, introduction, bargaining, agreement and closure. Project Management Professionals (PMPs) will easily and intuitively recognize and identify with these. This section of the book is probably the most tip-filled area, covering such techniques as when and how to use, and the impact of, permission-based questions, building commitment, consistency, reciprocation, social proof, authority, likeability, scarcity as well as handling and countermeasures for a whole array of other negotiation tactics (e.g., threats, insults, bluffing, intimidation, emotional appeals, lying, extreme demands, etc.). This is a very useful section all by itself.

The final element is putting it all together. It is here that money issues, and strategies for dealing with them, are addressed. Also covered is the importance of papering and codifying the agreement, including what must be included in the agreement as a minimum to make it binding and enforceable (sort of Introduction to Contracts 101). It closes with taking you through an entire negotiation process from start to finish, using all of the tools and techniques and templates that have been introduced in the book, and then does it again by allowing you to follow a sample or case study negotiation process applying all of the book's tools, techniques and templates.

It is rather amazing that the authors have been able to cram such a comprehensive overview of the negotiating process, as well as insights, tips, hints and templates, tools and techniques, into what is a relatively short book. The logic of the approach and presentation is impressive. All project management staff, whether negotiating contracts with suppliers, staff availability with functional authorities, scope and budget changes with sponsors, etc., would benefit from reading and applying the lessons learned from this book. Buy it and keep it handy in your library.

This book is a fantastic read. It outlines an easy-to-follow process for successful negotiation, giving you a guide for any situation. The examples and exercises demonstrate the methodology in real-world settings perfectly. It's full of not just theory, but practice, as well as lots of advice and useful tips. I've read it through and through - it's such a valuable resource!

Now here is a book for everyone! ---- easy to read, great examples and useful tips! One of the most effective books I have read. It can be put into use right away -- with the grace and speed of a cheetah!

I love all the Jonathan Scott Big Cat Series Books. This is an excellent book for anyone who loves big cats. Plenty of info on habitat, biology, and great pictures!

I was watching big cat diary from the TV last week, and found out this program is just exactly the book I hv ordered from Amazon in Oct. I am exciting when receive this book. It has many beautiful cheetahs pictures. It worths to be one of your collection.

Being my favourite big cat doco, I had to buy the books to compliment Big Cat Diary.
I was not disappointed. The photos in this Leopard book are entirely unique and often include extremely rare images.
The writers/film makers have experienced some amazing things over their years of filming but most of it isn't covered in the TV series. This book goes into a lot more detail of the lives of certain Leopards and you really become attached to them by name (can be sad when you discover one has died).

Spectacular photos and highly engaging stories make this a winner.

Love the book and the fast service. I love all of the books that Jonathan Scott has written. I just wish in the US that we could still see the Big Cat Diary Series.

I love this book! Leopards are my # 4 favorite animals of all time topped only by jaguars, tigers, and of course lions. I think they are both cool and beautiful. I loved all the ones in here, most definitely the female ones. They were the most cool and beautiful. The only bad part was any of them getting hurt or killed, but other than that this book rocked! The cubs were cute, also. And boy, did I ever learn a lot about lions and hyenas as well as leopards. Like I said, this is a terrific book. I own it at home and will own it until my dying day. I highly reccomend it to anyone over the age of 12. Man, oh man, Amazon.com, you keep up making books like this.

Me being a Cheetah Girls reader since book one, I know what a good Cheetah Girls book is and trust me on this one, this is a great book! This book focuses on the group member named Dorinda, who is a foster child. Can she have family somewhere?

I personally luv all the Cheetah Girl books I even wrote my own internet site on the Cheetah Girls: Groups.msn.com/Cheetahgirlsworld. I think ths book is good because I can sort of relate with Dorinda. I mean the boy who I'm in luv with is mixed with everything and people say stuff. But I luv the book and u would too ...

The cheetah girls books are so cool. Dorinda's secret is cool because she learns that racism is wrong. It was a touching story. It was DDDDAAAAA BBBBBBOOOOOOMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBB!

I have read all of the cheetah girls' book all except volume 9-10. They are wonderful books for young girls to read... Dorinda's secret shows that you should be proud of yourself no matter what race religion gender you are. I really like this book, I can relate with Dorinda because my brother is half white.... This book is all that and a bag of chips

the book was good it was kinda like the movie all about the
benjamins you know what im sayin mooney money bling bling

I rated this book five stars.
Why?
I enjoyed reading about how
they all felt about each other.
What I really liked was they finally
got record deal.
The character I liked the most was Chanel
because she was the nice and pretty type.
So that's why I rated this book five stars.

Of all the books I've read I have to say this is the best. The series alone is great! In this book Galleria tries to be the leader of the group and bosses them around. So Chanel tells her it's not happening. (But I like the old Aqua and Angie better, They are featured in the series 1-4)

Well I am a big fan of all types of books and when I first sawthe Cheetah Girls book I had to get it (the first edition). I am inlove with them! They are so adorable. Although, it took me awhile for me to understand what they were saying. This book is recomended for kids age 8 & up. Anyone can enjoy this book. If you want to be a star or don't think you can make it just read this (and other books) to let you know you can.

This book is a quick-read filled with great advice for putting together a team. As chairman for a committee in a business association, I was having trouble getting volunteers to do their share of the work. After reading this book, I implemented the steps the author lays out and used the techniques to handle members who aren't doing well. The ideas in this book are helping make our committee successful.

Well organized, easy to read with step-by-step guidelines for establishing a group. She also tells you how to avoid common pitfalls. Very well done.

Ever want to build a massive parallel super-computer? How about one comprising the best information processors we know - the human brain. How about a Mastermind Group!

Natalie Brecher's book is one of those "gems" that you find from time to time that is a quick read, but chock full of wisdom and insight. She has captured and made accessible the concept of synergy in a real Mastermind Team, and given us a step by step instruction manual to building our own team.

In clear language and forthright thought, Ms. Brecher gives us the 8 steps, the advantages for each step, and the pitfalls that await us if we are unaware. She eloquently makes the case for why we should even consider a Mastermind Team, then goes about helping us to know that we too can form such a team.

My Mastermind Team was formed in much the same way Ms. Brecher describes in her book. It has been an invaluable asset in my business. And in the spirit of full disclosure I must confess that Natalie is part of that Mastermind Team. What she has given to the readers of this excellent book is real, based in fact, and founded on experience. I highly recommend that you create a Mastermind Team and that your team read and understand what Natalie freely shares with you!

No one succeeds alone. This book gives you the tools and techniques to pull together a support group that provides a win/win for everyone involved. Natalie provides quotes of wisdom, the history of various support groups and the how to's so you can create your own mastermind alliance.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who desires to tap into the potential of being in a group in order to achieve more.

I've read all the Cheetah Girls books and Shop in The Name of Love is by far the best. When Chanel gets hold of her mother's credit card she maxes it out and acts like she's large n in charge. She also steals and lies to her freinds and mother.
It teaches an important letter to young Divettes in Traing.
Also read Book 1- Wishing On A Star.

Shop in the name of love is a very good book. It teaches you some of the lessons of life, what kinds of people to watch out for in life, how to deal with siblings,how to be a good friend, how to deal with obsessions, and how to be a better person.This is also a very interesting book. After reading it, You will make it your favorite book just like iI did , you will want to read it over, and over again, and you'll want to get all the Cheetah Girls books.

i liked this book becuase it is definitely cheetah-licious!i like the fact that they have no profanities and teaches you a lesson. it makes you feel good and like a divette-in-trianing.i also liked this book because i can read it anytime and not get in trouble or feel disgusted. i'm not used to reading non-sci-fi books so this is a surprise for me.i hope whom ever reads this feels the same way i felt.

I love that each of the cheetah girls book are in a different characters voice and that each of the five characters are so different. I'm latina, so I love the character Chanel who is dominican like me! Shop in the Name of Love is in chanel's voice and she is like a lot of chicas in my neighborhood--``adobo down'' as she says. i hope a lot of other chicas like me read the cheetah girls books. they are coolio!

This is all the stories:

Woof, There It Is: This is when the Cheetah's arrive to Hollywood.They also start making Cheetah Girls chokers. It's a cute story.

It's Raining Benjamins: It's Pucci's 9th birthday. Chanel's mother isn't sure if she wants Pucci to have his own pet. But anyway, she buys one. On Pucci's b-day, Chanel's mother is angry because Chanel did not have permission to get a pet. And, Pucci gets upset because his father bought him a math book. It's a cool story.

Dorinda's Secret: Dorinda finds out she has a REAL sister. Tiffany. Dorinda isn't sure that the Cheetah's are gonna be okay with it. So, she doesn't tell her crew. When Dorinda meets Tiffany, she finds out she is white. Dorinda also has a meltdown. But, at the end of the meet Tiffany says: " Can i have your phone number?" then " Can i have a hug?" then " I'm so glad i met you!" Dorinda tells her crew about her sis. They are cool with it. It's a neat story.

Growl Power: Aqua And Angie are going back to houston for Thanksgivng. It's a big story. You'll have to read it it! It's a fabulous story.

This is a nice book.

Thank You For Taking Your Time To Read My Review

All the reviews I've read are nothing like the book the book is much more different than the movie. It turns out that there are 5 grls instead of 4 and its really different like a totally different book except wit the same names. It is really good though.

i bought this for my 11 year old. she loves this book. kiki started reading it on saturday afternoon and was half way finshised by sunday night. she even took it in the bathroom. thahk god we have two. she is on her second or third time reading it and has recomended it to all her friends. she won't loan it to them yet. i will be purchasing the rest of the series.
