Currently on http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/ -/0312192037/ref=cm_cr_dp_2_1/102-8590585-5401755?v=glance&s=books&vi=customer-reviews there are only 11 reviews of Star Signs, there are so many great writes on this site, that someone could easily go put a killer review of her book there, and maybe a link to this website... Just an idea, I'd write one myself, if I didn't suck at writing(what writer uses suck in a sentence any wany) (and so many parenthesis)(with out proper puncuation sheesh). Well. who knows if this will happen, but it may get some other interesitng people here, I mean amazon is not the number 1 website in the world but number 14 isn't too shabby. Peace for now. I am off to build a pyraimd. (not on a 1:1 scale don't worry) IP: Logged |

Ok my smaller post worked...I guess what I was trying to post was too long. So I will break it up into two parts  ......Matty - your post has made me shake the dust off my keyboard. I went to the link you posted and the 1st review I read really got me going...all the way up the hill, chewing cans along the way. So I left my opinion and here it is in case you can't wait the 5 days for amazon to "review" it. -------Amazon Comments--------------
I feel I have to comment after reading the negative comment entitled "Serious readers, please avoid this book, June 12, 2002 Reviewer: A reader from New Delhi, India". I have read all of Linda Goodman's books and I have to say that if you are a "serious" reader you will read whatever interests you, and hopefully that will include all of Linda’s books. I don’t believe in calling those of us who enjoy Linda a “non-serious” reader. In fact, I don’t believe in judgment of any kind, just opinions and feelings.

If this book sounds interesting to you - please do read it. In the beginning of all of Linda’s books you will find her comments as such, “ However, I do not ask – nor do I even expect – any of you to regard my concepts as YOUR truth, unless they should happen to agree with your own personal enlightenment and private convictions. Partial truth – the seeds of wisdom – can be found in many places. The seeds of wisdom are contained in all scriptures ever written….especially in art, music and poetry…and, above all, in Nature. But REAL Truth can be found in one place only – in every man’s and woman’s communion with an eternal Source of hidden Knowledge within – which each individual must seek and find for himself or herself.”Linda is not about black-and-white, or textbook right. Her life was dedicated to the sharing of her wealth of knowledge (and personal experience) that it might help others, or at least lead them down the right path – to remembering, what they already Knew.
------end comments------------- Thanks for your inspiration. I always feel defensive of Linda especially when people don't understand her intent, which is all that matters.

Matty - amazon still hasn't posted my review??? I kinda had a feeling they might not because I quoted linda - from her book. I will send the review AGAIN or email someone about it because they should have posted it by now, or at least notified me by email that it was rejected. by the way - thanks for the compliment about my writing IP: Logged | |
