3 out of 5 stars hoping for more!.......2006-03-25

I recently bought this and its companion, "Light His Fire : How to Keep Your Man Passionately and Hopelessly in Love With you".

The advice in this one made, me feel pretty good- brilliant in fact. I had thought of most of the ideas, but they never really worked for my husband. He doesn't seem that impressed by having cookies sent to him at work. It is something a woman would like to have done for her, but the problem is men and women aren't the same. That is why we would buy a book like this- right?

The advice in its companion made for men who want to please their women has started a few conversations. My husband has enjoyed heckling it, and that has caused a few hurt feelings. It is just close enough to the truth in many ways that I feel heckled too, but not close enough to the truth to help. This reminds me of one of those articles written with the help of gay men to help women understand the men they love. It seems like a good idea, but it doesn't work.

In conclusion- If you are a man who wants to get even more confused by women, buy "How to Keep Your Man Passionately and Hopelessly in Love With You". If you are a woman with no creativity, buy, "Light His Fire: How to Keep Your Man Passionately and Hopelessly in Love With you". Otherwise, try something else. If you find something that really works, please let me know!

1 out of 5 stars Not for serious marital problems!.......2006-01-07

The book, I'm sure, is well-intentioned, but overly simplistic and one-sided. On her website, Dr Kreidman even recommends her work as a replacement for marriage counseling for seriously troubled marriages. I have to whole-heartedly disagree, this is a dangerous notion. I purchased both the "his fire" and "her fire" books after reading all the wonderful reviews here, and the promises made on the author's website. I am unbelievably disappointed. As a woman who was just told by her husband that he wants an open marriage and is not attracted to me anylonger because I'm not in my early twenties anymore, I'm having trouble with the concept that I'm the one who should stroke his ego, plan sex-adventures, and never judge him, in order to win his love. That's pretty much the last thing I want to do. The author gives absolutely no validation to the woman's point of view, feelings, etc, she only talks about how the woman should adjust to the man's needs. Her suggestions might work to bring excitement into an otherwise dull, but functioning relationship, but when there is true heartbreak and years of anger and frustration involved, her suggestion to dress up like a hotel maid in order to turn on the husband is less than helpful. Good luck to everyone else!

5 out of 5 stars A Real Eye Opener.......2005-11-23

This is my wife's opion on the book,"In my opinion the book was a real eye opener for me. I got to see everything in my relationship that was wrong but in a different perspective. Therefore I am now able to take a different approach toward certain things that I use to do. This book is so helpful and it has really made me look at my relationship in a whole new way. It has helped me a great deal with communicating to my spouse. I have found new and exciting ways to keep him happy and in love with me for a long time. Now I just need him to come home :) This was a great book and for me, even though I am not a reader I could not stop reading this one!! I was hoping there would be another edition out soon!!!!"

5 out of 5 stars Don't just read it: Do what she says.......2005-09-23

This book is very practically laid out. She speaks in a simplistic language and is quite matter-of-fact. Her ideas and suggestions are wonderfully insightful. When you read it you will want to practice what she tells you. Do it. I wouldn't call this book a guide to manipulate your man, but it is a way to truly make him fall head over heels in love with you all over again and in turn you'll do the same. You'll want to read it over and over again.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2005-08-21

I like to read books...and have read a lot of them. When a therapist's wife suggested these books I got them immediately. Wow is all I can say! These books teach you exactly what to do and don't just give theories. I loved it! It was really fun to read, I went back and re-read it when I was done I loved it so much. I can't think of a better book to make a marriage last. My marriage has changed for the better, I have not felt this way about my husband ever! He is a changed man and all because I changed and did what the book said. I am forever grateful for Ellen!

Book Description

“This isn't just a book for couples who want to have hot sex and intimacy all year long - it's for those who want it for the rest of their lives.” --Violet Blue, senior book reviewer, Good Vibrations, San Francisco

THE HONEYMOON CAN LAST FOREVER!

From the author of three international bestsellers comes a sexual playbook for both men and women that goes a scintillating step further. If her other books were about seduction, The Great Lover Playbook is about keeping the sizzle alive in a relationship 365 days a year, whether you've been together four weeks or forty years. With one tip or technique for each day of the year, Lou provides refreshing perspectives on a variety of subjects, including:

* Uncovering the link between healthy relationships and a healthy sex life
* Building and maintaining an attitude towards sex that's open and curious and committed to passion--forever
* Revealing what men and women really want on a day to day basis to keep the sexual energy alive
* Lou's most popular techniques for hot foreplay, and pleasing your partner in various positions
* A section devoted to exploring and fulfilling your sexual fantasies, role playing, and how to use all sorts of toys
* Frequently asked questions, facts, and information to help you explore your individual sexuality

With step-by-step instructional drawings to enhance the techniques, and Lou's signature style that combines frankness with a keen sense of humor, The Great Lover Playbook will inspire you to sustain the passion in your relationships, and keep that sense of seduction alive for the long term.

"The Great Lover Playbook is a handbook of tried and true ideas that people in long term committed relationships (and in new relationships) around the world can use to enhance their sensual and sexual relationships. Sex no longer has to be boring and routine." --Dr. Beverly Whipple, Ph.D., co-author of the international best-seller, The G Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality

“Lou Paget is one of our savviest sex educators. She hands over invaluable tried and true secrets and sparks that great lovers use daily in their attitudes, behaviors, fantasies and techniques to reignite their home fires and keep them burning and committed.”--Eli Coleman, Ph.D. Professor and Director Program in Human Sexuality University of Minnesota Medical School

Great guidebook for charting your course in life and keeping your priorities in order. Highly recommended !

1 out of 5 stars Complete waste of money!.......2006-06-28

This book has nothing to do with motivating you. All it talks about is disciplining your children, letting go of your ego, being selfless, balance your life etc. etc. This has nothing to do with motivation. I am completely disappointed in this book and will be sending it back for a refund.

5 out of 5 stars Doing More with the Same.......2006-06-07

This book came highly recommended to me by my boss, whose opinion I hold in high esteem. The book was actually an easier read than I had thought, moving swifty from chapter to chapter, with good points throughout. Sometimes you read books where good insight and opinion is few and far between. This book helped me think about business concepts through a lense I never thought possible. It has changed my perspective to help me realize that I can do it and its not that hard. Succeeding though business and life is simple by balancing the six plates and following Dave's suggestions. I now believe I can achieve more with the same.

5 out of 5 stars Order Perpetual Motivation Today, Create A Better Tomorrow.......2006-06-03

From the opening pages of this book, I was hooked. Dave Durand shares his deep and broad understanding of what prevents us from having what we want in our lives, and provides you with simple and proven strategies for sustaining motivation while creating the life you've always wanted. So much more than the typical business or self-help book you may have read in the past, Durand's focus is on The Pursuit of Life's Perfect Balance. He teaches you how to achieve success in the areas of the six balnace points of your life: Family, Financial Responsibility, Health, Social contribution, Education and vocation, and Faith. Durand's blueprint for balanced success lays out your plan for a more fulfilled, balanced, and rewarding life. If you desire to have, do, and be more in your life, I highly recommend you read Perpetual Motivation!

5 out of 5 stars Perpetual Motivation.......2006-05-28

I got this book on Friday read it early in the week and it change the way my week ended. If you are in a perpetual time crunch and losing ground with your own goals stop immediately and purchase this book. It has changed the way I think and order time. Within hours the simple discipline Dave explains brought immediate success. It's amazing to suddenly have credibility with myself because I know I'll get to the things that are important to me in a timely way. My hope is that everyone will buy this book and the Balander and we will all be happier and have time to enjoy life - guilt-free! Thank you Dave Durand!

Book Description

From an exciting new master of fantasy comes the second novel of an epic tale filled with dangerous magic, dark mystery, and unrelenting suspense

The Keep Of Fire

Travis Wilder has returned from the otherworld of Eldh, hoping to settle back into his humdrum  life in the mountains of contemporary Colorado. But he soon finds himself stalked by two shadowy organizations, each aware of his incredible journey and each determined to exploit it--whatever the cost to Travis...or to Eldh. Meanwhile, a terrifying new contagion is spreading like wildfire, a disease with no cure, which some are comparing to the Black Plague.

When the disease strikes his closest friend, Travis is drawn back to Eldh, where the same epidemic, known as the Burning Plague, is wreaking another kind of havoc. There, in a realm of gods and monsters, myths and runecraft, Travis and his former companion Grace Beckett--herself from Earth, but now living on Eldh--must solve the riddle of the plague. Where did it come from? What is its purpose? And how can it possibly be stopped...before it completely destroys two coexisting worlds: ancient Eldh and modern Earth.

2 out of 5 stars Getting better with each new installment.......2005-10-06

I am trying to hang in there and read all of the The Last Rune series, although I have to tell you, it's becoming difficult. Book 2 is far better than book one. Mr. Anthony had to spend most of the first book setting the stage and explaining how 2 people from the 21st century suddenly find themselves transported to another place and time. Grace and Travis are back again and this time the action is intense and fun. The story is alittle disjointed and the plot twists are alittle silly, but overall, it's a fun read.

This is not a Stephen Donaldson series by any means, but give the guy a chance, there are 4 more to go. Maybe he just needs to find his pacing.

Grace and Travis are reunited in Eldh along with Durge; our ever faithfull knight, Aryn; our council to the King, Falken Blackhand; the bard, and a cast of many fun and interesting folks. It is alot like watching reruns of the original Star Trek series, where at the beginning of the show, there were always a couple of people you had never seen before and you always knew they were the ones who would be killed, thus setting up the rest of the show.

Grace, Travis and friends are battling a plague, not unlike the black plague on earth. Will they be able to save Eldh before all fall victim to the terrible death? Read and discover for yourself

5 out of 5 stars Better than the first and thats saying alot..........2004-09-28

This second in the Last Rune series was for me entirely more satisfying than the first. The story has more mystery than the blatant obviousness of the first - though the cover doens't help in that respect too much. Grace is fleshed out a bit more, as she truly needed. Travis's passivity is intensified...but he seems to mature a lot as well...he becomes at least a little more pragmatic. Travis is fast becoming a favourite fantasy character of mine, in spite of, or perhaps due to his reluctance to use the power he possesses and his passiveness.
This story reveals the true nature of Melia, explains just who Falken is, gives us insights into Durge, reveals a lovely new character - who like all the others is a little shallow at times in this book - wait until the third to see Lileth shine, Aryn matures a lot too, her arm is barely even mentioned in the book, which seems to have lifted a bit of the 2D aspect she had in the first book - a deformed baroness with no chance of - but therefore guaranteed - love.
Like the first book revolved around the Magic Stone - Sinfathisar - the stone of Twilight, this Book revolves around the effects of the Stone of Fire - Krondisar...its a better story, with more purposeful moves made against the enemy in this novel...the first had little at all in that respect until right at the end.
Overall, this was a great book that I really enjoyed...try it you should be pleasantly surprised.

1 out of 5 stars A pale successor.......2004-08-15

Beyond the Pale was a well and carefully written book. Its hallmark, in my opinion, was the patience which the author displayed in introducing and fleshing out characters, as well as the meticulous care he spent crafting a strong physical presence that made the word of Eldh tangible and solid. Strong fantasy was mixed with horror, mystery, and intrigue that gave the story a terrific cadence. So strong was the writing, in fact, that some of the clichés (character and plotting) were easily forgiven. Good writing can make even a bad idea sound good.

The Keep of Fire, unfortunately, possesses none of the qualities of the former. It had the distinct feel of a rough draft - as if Beyond the Pale was written in four years, and Keep of Fire was written in four months.

The author, for reasons that puzzle me, chose to skim lightly over material that, if fleshed out, would have made for exciting reading. Case in point: the time spent with the Necromancer. Robert Jordan, in a classic case of overwriting, could have written 500 pages on that alone. Mark Anthony should have, in my opinion, written at least 150. Yet there was barely 1/5 that amount. So much potential! Yet it ended in such disappointment.

I applaud the author for tackling issues that have long been taboo in fantasy: specifically homosexuality. Too often homosexual men have been seen as effete, useless fops. In the real world, we (well, most level headed people) know this is not true. So - kudos.

Unfortunately, I have scratched Mark Anthony off my list of "must read" authors. Successive books came out too rapidly, and I'm not interesting in spending my money just to read what amounts to a rough draft.

(A notable post script: the metaphor "beyond the pale" is considered a moribund metaphor.)

3 out of 5 stars Kind of refreshing, but empty calories.......2004-02-27

Hey, we can't eat broccoli all the time! We need to enjoy something relatively non-nutritive from time to time. This, the 2nd book in the Last Rune series, is the literary equivalent of jalapeno poppers! Lots of dramatic action--the lead characters are constantly imperiled! People are always getting nearly killed. Travis and Grace, the transplants from Earth to the magical realm of Eldh, are remarkably resilient when plopped into a somewhat inconsistent world. (For example, what is the real difference between maddok and coffee? Why even bother? Horses, sheep, bread and clothes are are medieval style. Why create a drink exactly like coffee, (only better) and call it maddok?) These little things can be irritating--almost as irritating as the fairly bad illustrations on the cover. (Can we have the characters depicted to match their descriptions in the book?) Despite all this, I enjoyed the action and energy. The author is not afraid of completely bizarre and unforseen plot twists dropping out of nowhere. Enjoyable, but leaves you wanting something a little more filling.

3 out of 5 stars A little more and a little less.......2004-02-10

I read the first book and was pleased, there were a few missteps I could except as first novelitus, and a few good points that made me interested in reading further into the series. The Keep of Fire, dissapointing, because the same writing missteps from the first novel keep happening. AND because there was an exceptional novel another draft or two away. TOO MUCH having characters inner voices trying to browbeat those main characters, and the 'I should but I can't but I must this isn't me...' TOO LITTLE in having created a supporting character who was sympathetic, and then having him die... and being left with the feeling with a little more developement, the death would have been trully dramatic. I think this writer needs... like one more creative writing lesson... and take that from someone who needs MANY more lessons.

      Book Description

      There's No Such Thing As Over The Hill,
      Because The Hill Has Been Moved!In this humorous, practical book, Joan Rivers shows every woman how to be the best she can be and stay youthful, healthy, and mellow at any--and every--age.Filled with the latest information as well as entertaining anecdotes and stories, Don't Count the Candles provides down-to-earth, sensible advice on everything that every woman needs to be her best, from wardrobe and fitness to surgery and sex.Here is Joan Rivers's own unique take on aging:
    • IQ does not decrease with age. If you were a moron at twenty, you will be a moron at seventy-five.
    • At fifty, confine your piercing to sardine cans and keep your hair short.
    • Eat all you want, just don't swallow it.
    • A roll in the hay keeps the doctor away--unless he happens to be in the hay with you.

      Take it from Joan Rivers--you've got a lot of living left to do!

      5 out of 5 stars Great Advice.......2001-01-29

      Joan Rivers has her fans. And she has her detractors as well. Yet not even her detractors can deny that she is an honest, gutsy lady who doesn't miss a trick, who took every lemon that life tossed at her and squeezed it until it became a delicious lemonade.

      As with her earlier books, DON'T COUNT THE CANDLES is written in her typical breezy style, with plenty of laughs thrown in for no extra charge. That's what this book is, too: a charge. Rare will be the reader who fails to be both enlightened and refreshed by Joan's entertaining outlook on life. For her fans, this one's a must.

      4 out of 5 stars lot of good ideas here...and funny, too.......1999-11-07

      enjoyed reading this book. felt like joan rivers was talking directly to me. my only regret: wish there had been more examples for guys. (it is written, it seems, mostly for women--though it is applicable to either sex.)

      5 out of 5 stars Can we talk? Joan's latest book is fabulous in every way!.......1999-07-27

      Reading "Don't Count the Candles. . ." is like having Joan Rivers talking directly to the reader--as an old (but fighting it every step of the way) friend. Her honest, shoot from the hip (liposuctioned, of course) game plan and advice is well-written and is done so with Joan's typical humor and wit. I'm buying a copy for all my friends and even my ex-mother-in-law! Go Joan! Keep up the great fight!

      3 out of 5 stars Not near as good as "Bouncing Back".......1999-06-19

      Joan makes many of the same points she did in her last book, "Bouncing Back", but this one is not nearly as well done. In "Bouncing Back", Joan urged her readers to keep an optimistic attitude when disaster strikes. For instance, she said that it's okay for a woman to "wear a red dress to her husband's funeral as a sign of love". I could not agree more with that sentiment because grief is a highly personal process. What helps one person get thru a crisis may hurt another.

      The book does make lots of valid points, such as the put-down of retirement communities. (How I wish my Dad had read this before he retired - he left the police force in 1993 because he was stressed - or so he thought. His health and life in general have declined since then.)

      Unfortunately, Joan seems to have changed her mind to a certain extent in this book. Instead of advising older women to live life on their own terms, as she did with grieving people in Bouncing Back, she tells them that they can't wear a lot of styles of clothing any longer, because at their age, it will make them look silly. I say the hell with that attitude, an older person is entitled to be silly if he or she wants to. (BTW, I'll be 40 in Sept. I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm not going to give up things that I like either just because I've reached a certain age.)

      2 out of 5 stars A disappointment. Nothing much new in this book........1999-05-31

      I really wanted to like this book but I found it to be uninspiring. I like Joan Rivers but feel this was just a book to write about what most older people already know such as 'older women shouldn't wear short skirts', etc. and her put down of retirement communities was inappropriate. There's more fun going on in some of those 'young retiree' communities than you could imagine!

      The nation's savviest sex educator delivers a daily dose of passionate advice for lovers.

      Lou Paget's sophisticated yet sizzling approach to sexuality has made her books and workshops phenomenally popular around the world.

      * The link between healthy relationships and a healthy sex life
      * Secrets and advice on maintaining an attitude toward sex that is open and curious and committed to passion-forever
      * A collection of Lou's "classics"-her most popular techniques for hot foreplay, pleasing each other in various positions, and trying something new
      * The most popular types of sexual fantasies and how to ask for one you want
      * Frequently asked questions, Lou's best research, and unknown sexual tidbits

      Over seventy-five instructional line drawings enhance the pages, and the book's one-a-day format makes it perfect for every couple seeking to stay energized years after the thrill of that initial seduction. A complete treat, 365 Days of Sensational Sex will inspire great lovers for the long term.

      I have read all of Lou Paget's books, and have waited anxiously for this release. As usual, Ms. Paget presents her ideas with taste and tact, combined with her signature sense of humor and savvy. My husband and I can't wait to try each and every one of her ideas....and keep OUR fires burning all year long!
