Incredible thriller

Excellent book that details how humans have used and misused power throughout history, you will be able to pick upon some of the 48 laws that you have used to dominate others and other laws which people have used to exploit you for their self interest. The book draws upon various true stories that illustrate the use of the law aswell as the cost if you ignore the reality of the law. There is a summary at the end of each chapter aswell as the authors insight of reversals of the law (situations where you shouldn't observe the law as it is counterproductive to your self interest) There are a good number of quotes from famous figures in history and across cultures aswell that entertains and informs you. Even if you are not interested in gaining power, there are alot of tools you can use to guard yourself from situations and people who will manipulate you and take advantage for their own ends.

It's a true classic , you follow jane through many trials of her life , a must read for me.

Simply one of the loveliest heart warming books I've ever read. A fantasy book filled with funny interestingly odd characters and love.

Good literature is almost impossible to define. Partly it is the quality of silence between words. The quality of silence at the end of a line. COLD MOUNTAIN is a journey. Although there is a destination, it is written without a horizion. One can hear Henry James or Anais Nin saying... 'All stories of worth are about love.' Even within tragedy there is a kindling. An emotional gravity one cannot resist. Compelling narrative and characters become insperable from ourselves. Story has no end. It becomes other stories.

It's beautifully emotional and human
