Even after reading the reviews, I could not understand how someone, (well, not just someone but a loving, devoted mother) could do what Andrea Yates did to her 5 small children. This book answers that question in a dignified, informative, and above all respectful way. I'll never look at her, the case, or mental illness in the same way. A must read! Page turner, could not put it down!

Wasn't impressed. Many games list simple tricks, instead of actual cheat codes, which the title suggests.

I requested this book/ series for my 1st Grader son (7& a half years old) bc I remembered it being one of the first books I read when I was his age which I really enjoyed. So much in fact that it helped me to fall in love with the world of books and reading. I was very pleased and impressed to see him pick it up, read a chapter (one of his daily duties/chores is to read 1 chapter a day), and then read another chapter, voluntarily, and another and another. Mission accomplished, and I am giving myself a proverbial pat on the back! :)

This book just arrived yesterday, I started reading it about 4 hours ago and I'm already more than halfway through it! It is very easy to read, flows nicely, is fresh, funny, witty, and even has some really awesome information! I love it!
