Book Review: The Real Estate Rookie

The Real Estate Rookie

Blurb:

When Bob Boog finally escaped his family home and the constant chatter about Real Estate, it was to attend UCLA on a merit scholarship. Finally, he thought, he was free from a business he had no desire to be a part of.
But on one of his frequent ‘laundry visits’ to the family home, he was suddenly presented with a ticket for a Real Estate seminar and felt compelled to attend. It was something which changed his opinions, his plans for the future and his life.
Inspired by the words of Real Estate guru Tom Hopkins, Bob decided to get his licence and studied harder for the exam than he did for some of the ones on his course, passing it on his first attempt.
And then, armed with this new-found ability and a desire to become the ‘Rookie of the Year’ he entered the world he had sworn he never would.
The Real Estate Rookie is the often ridiculous, sometimes absurd and always hilarious account of his journey from someone who would cringe at the very mention of Real Estate, to one who lived and breathed every moment of it.
“A fun read. I warmly recommend The Real Estate Rookie.”

Review:

A highly recommended read for anyone looking to read a light-hearted book authored by an experienced real estate agent. I like how the author shared some of the moments in his life from the real estate field, as it further validates the insights of real estate industry provided in this book. Blended with humor, this book is a quick read for anyone wanting to understand the real estate industry in an easy way. I look forward to more work from this author.

Book Review: The Big Lie about Reading Glasses: A retired family doctor’s journey to understand and overcome presbyopia

The Big Lie About Reading Glasses

Blurb:

Presbyopia is not irreversible like it was proclaimed for so long. That is the big presbyopia lie. Glasses and contact lenses or surgery are not the only valid options. My presbyopia was addressed successfully (careful choice of words here) with eye drops made of natural elements and lifestyle changes. These eye drops are protected by a trade secret. The book in bullet points: Eye exercises do not work Reading glasses are worsening the eye condition called presbyopia (need to use reading glasses after the age of 40) LASIK and conventional eye surgery against presbyopia carry risks (like halos, infection, inhability to drive at night and blindness). Using reading glasses makes the problem of presbyopia worst faster. This simple read is written in a very accesible format filled with anecdotes. But do not be fooled by the simple style of the author, you will learn a lot about the aging process of the eyes and sight and will discover natural ways to overcome the need for reading glasses.

Review:

This book will shed light on the myths revolving around presbyopia and reading glass as the commonly suggested remedy. In fact, this book explains how reading glasses actually do more harm than good. Those suffering from presbyopia will learn more about natural remedies to cure it, by simply learning the root cause of the problem. Advices in this book that come from a doctor further encourage readers to drop the need for a reading glass. This book is a perfect read for those having presbyopia or have family members suffering from it.

Book Review: America Under Mind Control by Jamell Crouthers

America Under Mind Control by Jamell Crouthers

Blurb:

What happens when society takes control of your mind and how you think? This book speaks on all of the issues going on in today’s society and how the rich, wealthy and elite do everything in their power to keep the American people under mind control. There are different tactics and ways they use to make sure we as a people don’t strive for greatness in life. It starts from when you’re a child in the education system and how we’re taught to be obedient and to respect authority all the way into Corporate America. Our minds are programmed on a daily basis and whether we realize it or not, we don’t take the time to see the bigger picture of how the world is run. From the music we listen to, to the television we watch, the politics they control and infiltrate, this book deals head on with how we the American people are controlled by so many messages on a daily basis. It’s a book that speaks truth into how this country and the world is in shambles and how we need to come together as a nation and as a people and do better.

Review:

Jamell has proven that through poetry, various issues revolving America can be brought to the attention of people from all walks of life. This book touches on problems that the American society should be concerned about and the poems help us to look at those issues from a different perspective.

I like how the author had chosen to write on education as the way the current generation is being educated at school does not guarantee to produce ethical young adults. This not only emphasises the responsibilities of lawmakers at large, but also the roles parents should play in order to offset the drawbacks from our education system.

Reading this book would assist you in understanding things that are going fundamentally wrong with America and I would highly recommend this book to everyone, especially American parents. If you care about social issues, this book is a treat for you!

I wish the author had written on women and equality too!

5 stars for this books!

Book Review: Dobby Is So Polite, What A Delight

Dobby Is So Polite, What A Delight

Review:

5 stars

Dobby Is So Polite, What A Delight is a short, fun-filled book with attractive illustrations for pre-school kids that teaches them about great values revolving around friendship and the love for animal. It also teaches kids on how to welcome new friends to their neighbourhood and guide them to live life comfortably.

Blurb:

Dobby Is So Polite, What A Delight is the latest children’s book from the friendship series. It is a rhyming children’s book about how a caring brother brings home a special friend called Dobby for his sister. Dobby, is a blue heeler Australian cattle puppy, who is loving, energetic and was placed in a dog shelter. He is very sad as he is all alone and is stuck in a smelly cage. One day he is hoping that he will meet a new buddy and be able to run free and play Frisbee. He is so excited when he meets his new friends. He is also introduced to Baloo, who is an older dog from The Netherlands that teaches Dobby manners and how to behave in and out of the house. This is a book about friendship, love and how to fit in with others. Dobby settles in very well with his wonderful family. But he has one habit that he finds hard to stop. Can you guess what it might be?

This book comes with music and lyrics. Music is a form of expression and it is wonderful for children to freely explore the world around them through sound. Children are naturally creative and love to explore everything new and amazing. Most young children love to sing, dance and make music.

This children’s book has vibrant eye-catching colorful illustrations, which help children visualize the story. Color is a dynamic stimulation and plays a very important role in learning, as research has shown that 50-60 percent of our brain is used for seeing. Dobby is a fun loving, friend dog, and loves to play Frisbee with his new friend. He also is learning to have wonderful manners and even knows how to cross the road at the traffic lights.
Dobby Is So Polite, What A Delight is entertaining and is perfect for pre-schoolers at bedtime as well as a self-read book for older children. It is also a great rhyming book for toddlers and a perfect early reader book.

Rhyming teaches children who are learning to read about the patterns and structures in both spoken and written words. Rhyming and songs expose children to the rhythm of language, which helps them read with some animation in their voice instead of just a monotone voice. Rhyming also helps children learn about word families such as sun and fun, or flight and night and so on. For instance, if your child is learning to spell, if they can spell shy, they can spell guy and if they can spell paws they can spell laws. Have you ever seen kids sitting and happily listening to someone reading in a monotone voice? I haven’t. If you want to hold a child’s attention, read with inflection and animation, and they will sit glued to your voice. Rhyming and rhythm are very important skills that help a young reader learn to use inflection an animation when reading aloud. Rhyming also prepares kids to make predictions while learning words and gives them crucial interpreting skills. As well as Phonemic awareness which helps with the beginning of their written language.
