British comedy at it's best. After the Major's wife has left him for his best friend, he lets the flat out simultaneously to two tennants. Jill uses the flat on the weekends, while Phillip uses it during the week. Unstoppable chaos insues once Jill suprisingly gets the week off, and the Major has to hide the truth from Phillip and everyone else caught in the web of confusion, including his ex-wife. Overall, extremely hilarious and a great piece to put on for an audience!

My grandma gave me her copy of the book and I loved reading every page of it. There are tons of tips and tidbits on everything from building a cellar to chickens to canning. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in homesteading.

I am a Hong Kong-er, this book has a lot of insightful views which really tells the story of HK.

No, it's not the UK basketball team, it's a collection of giant wildmen, under the control of a vicious master criminal, bent on -- Well, it's never exactly clear what they're bent on, but clear plots have never been part of THE SPIDER, nor are they that important. The important thing, as always, is slam-bang action. This has somew of the most intense action of any SPIDER story. Particularly impressive are Richard Wentworth's run through the mountains to spread the news about the wild-men, and his hand to hand battle at the farmhouse.

If you ever need to do real estate finance law, this book is good for you! It covers many sections of real estate finance law so that you will know mostly real estate finance law when you are finished. Super book for doing things concerning real estate finance law. Even if you aren't going to do things concerning real estate finance law, this is a good book to read in case you ever have to.

Learn all about houses from this exciting children's books. Your students and your children will love it.

What skill it takes to start with a family legend and turn it into a really good story. Especially when it's about an ancestor who was executed and the head handed down through the family for years.

It's well-researched and doesn't contrive an unlikely wedding, even though the hangman does lose his heart.

Very satisfying.

The authors provide an excellent method for incorporating formal logic into the essay form. I highly recommend this book for students and teachers of rhetoric and composition. I have found this method not only helps college freshman write more logically, but also teaches them to structure their papers better, organize their ideas better, and generally write better arguments. The authors should consider expanding their method to other disciplines.

This is a valuable book (resource) for budding entrepreneurs. It seems to try to cover all the bases for starting a small business, but it can't do them all well in the space available between its covers. The book is only 288 pages long. If you are in the planning stages of starting a small business, then I highly recommend you get a copy of this book. Read it, study it, and outline it. There are helpful checklists to help you grasp the subjects. You will come up with a plethora of keywords and terms that you will want to google to find Web pages giving more detailed (and maybe more current) information.

I am a SCORE counselor (Senior Corps of Retired Executives) who typically does face-to-face counseling sessions three nights a month. It would really be neat if my clients would read this book BEFORE they came to their session with me because they would pretty much be "educated customers" ready to ask educated questions. Our sessions would be so much more beneficial.

My favorite chapters were:

1. Initial business concerns
2. Your business' structure
3. Business start-up details
5. Sources of business assistance (SCORE is mentioned here)
7. Your smart business plan (and a good sample plan is included)
8. Obtaining the financing you need

The book is weak when it comes to how the Internet can be used in corresponding, hiring, and marketing. But this is just one example of how googling keywords and concepts found in the book will make the book more complete. Don't treat the book as authoritative on the law. It isn't. Nor was it ever intended to be. It is light on tax information as it relates to small business.

I was particularly impressed with the material presented in Chapter 2: Choice of Legal Entity. That subject is sorely ignored in most small business books, and it is critically important. It is a subject I regularly must spend a great deal of time discussing at my SCORE sessions. This book does a pretty good job on the topic.

Chapters 4 and 9 through 12 are easy to find fault with. The topic of each could fill a book. But having these topics covered definitely will help a budding entrepreneur know some of the issues they raise.

I would have liked the book more if Chapter 6 (marketing) had been less superficial. When I read it I got the impression that the author was more a public relations expert than a marketing expert. I generally categorize public relations as a subset of marketing. Marketing includes advertising, public relations, and a whole host of other promotion techniques. I did not get this message when I read the book. I also would have liked the book better if the Internet, email, and Web sites had been discussed more. But there are many books on those subjects. Therefore, I can't complain too much about the limited discussion of computers.

When you read this book it may feel a little like it was produced on an assembly line. Maybe it was? There are 51 versions of this book sold; the 51st is for the District of Columbia. Content is king, and this book has it. 5 stars!

This book describes the work of an extensive survey into the feelings of adolsecents. 1634 teenagers (aged between 13.5 and 14.5 years) filled in questionnaries. This was a project of the Health Promotion Department, Greater Glascow Health Board.

If you are looking for solutions - a 'how to do this' type book - this may not be the book for you. What this book does is openly reveal the feelings of teenagers. Significantly this is done using the words of teenagers.

The book provides invaluable background information for teachers (what's really going on in the heads of those we teach) and parents.

The survey used to collect the information is included as an appendix at the back of the book.
