Now also free @ B&N.

Apparently this one is kind of preachy, according to the negative review that got posted shortly after the book became free.

I am highly amused in the past two days alone, 3 4-5 star positive reviews praising this book have been posted and voted up, 2 of which are from from people who apparently did not buy the book, at least not via Amazon (no Verified Purchase), seemingly in response to this. By contrast, the two negative reviews warning readers about the non-obvious-from-the-description deeply-faith-based tone of the advice are heavily voted down.

Sometimes reading the Amazon product page drama is more entertaining than reading the actual book.

ETA: And apparently this is my 1500th post. Maybe I should add an extra "z".
