Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good prison reading
I got this book for my boyfriend in prison. At first they confiscated it as contraband then returned it to him. He loved the book.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Awesome guide
I have to saw I was skeptical about this book. I bought it on the recommendation of a family member and I'm so hooked. This book is so incredible and truly gives insight on how to live and be successful dealing with others.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - If you do these things you will end up with NO power.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 48 laws of power
I'm pretty into morality but I quite like this book. But If you're not weary of someone who recommends deception (as the author does) you deserve to get suckered. Some of the rhetorical techniques he employs include writing in the style of that wise blind guy who knew everything in Kung fu, it doesn't work at all once you've seen an interview with him. Also putting a number (48) in the title makes it sound very scientific, I'd bet he has no idea if there really are exactly 48 laws of power.
