Must own for marriage financial advice.......2007-10-13
Asset protection is a must these days before marriage. Find any guy who's been ridden hard and dry in a divorce, and show him this book. He will cry he didn't have it available, and then will beg you to buy it.
After listening to his nightmare story (there's millions of them out there), you will definitely find The Professional Bachelor a godsend. It's also an excellent dating psychology book on working the ladies, how to pick and choosing the right ones, avoid the psychos, etc.
Getting insurance on your assets is inexpensive; if your marriage doesn't work out your life won't be destroyed. This book explains the ins and outs of setting it up in layman terms, for the average asset structure to the super wealthy. Great value.
Fantastic read - and hilarious.......2007-10-11
This is a very effective textbook for attracting women and social dynamics that can be applied in most any situation. If you're falling short in creating attention and holding onto the ladies (and in business), you will seriously accelerate your success in interaction in all situations. One of the more entertaining books you will read, and easily the best on this topic. It's a quick easy read, and you will love re-reading parts time and time again. I rarely read books let alone review them, but I read this in two days. Worth every penny.
Fascinating book .......2007-10-10
Easily one of the most interesting and entertaining books I've read in a long time. For anyone who took psychology in school, you will laugh non-stop at his uncanny and hilarious analysis of the different personalities of women and how to approach seducing/dating each. They are spot on accurate, and you'll remember girls in your past and see where you failed, and how to improve in the future. He gives great pickup advice in breaking the game all down to a science. Every guy can benefit from reading this one. Highly recommended.
ok.......2007-09-11
just make sure you walk your talk or talk your walk thats good advice
Flirt, Attract and Seduce ; great advice here.......2007-08-30
Excellent social pick up advice for flirting, being a smooth talker, and enhancing your look attitude and skills in attracting women. We all know women are the biggest players out there in the clubs. It's nice to see there are now some guides for men looking to even the playing field.
This book could be bought just for entertainment value alone, as the writer is seriously interesting and off the wall, with some pretty great observation jokes throughout. I never thought of asset protection before, but the facts he presents show only a fool would ignore his advice of not setting it up before getting married. Cool book.
Book Description
With over 30 million copies sold since its original publication in 1960, Psycho-Cybernetics has been used by athletes, entrepreneurs, college students, and many others, to achieve life-changing goals--from losing weight to dramatically increasing their income--finding that success is not only possible but remarkably simple. Now updated to include present-day anecdotes and current personalities, The New Psycho-Cybernetics remains true to Dr. Maltz's promise:“If you can remember, worry, or tie your shoe, you can succeed with Psycho-Cybernetics!”
Customer Reviews:
Great but simple overview of a rich subject.......2007-10-22
I read the original version of Psycho Cybernetics in the late 1960s, and used its techniques. I was astonished at the results, so much so that it caused me to begin a lifelong interest in the subject. However, years later I came across a copy of Jane Roberts' "Seth book," "The Nature of Personal Reality." This latter book is about the same subject but has a much greater depth and breadth. I would recommend "The Nature of Personal Reality" over Psycho Cybernetics, or as a companion and second book after reading Psycho Cybernetics. Both are very good, although "The Nature of Personal Reality" is much more detailed and comprehensive.
Psycho-Cybernetics.......2007-10-01
The author advises us to keep relaxed as a condition precedent for
success throughout life's daily challenges. Self-image controls or
limits personal accomplishments. The unconscious mind has a goal-servo
mechanism. Our imagination is like an ignition key which opens up the
mind to alternative possibilities. Periodically, we should test
self-imposed limits. The process is described iteratively:
o AIM o TRUST GOALS o RELAX o LEARN o DO/CALL TO ACTION
Goal attainment consists of goal striving, targeting and imagining.
Each of us must test the limits of this process in order to achieve
higher levels of satisfaction.
The author urges us to ignore past failures and strive for better things.
Desire is a powerful human emotion which should be cultivated.
The avoidance of failure triggers recalibration mechanisms which
test the boundaries of success. Each of us has an adversity quotient.
Therefore, we should stop piling up scar tissue from past hurts.
The work is very helpful in pointing toward success mechanisms rather
than dwelling on past failures or lost opportunities. This acquisition
would be helpful for the career planner in your household.
The New Psycho-Cybernetics.......2007-08-27
Dear Sirs,
The book New Psycho-Cybernetics was delivered to my home address completely ruined and ripped of. The post officer said that the package was already ruined when it came. I did not know to whom I could complain and who was responsible for the damage.
I am a scientist and I work in serious science and do not have much time for writing complaints. When I read the book,which you will send me properly packed, I will tell you the book's contribution to the humanity.
Your truly,
Prof. Tadeja Jere-Lazanski
P.s: I did not buy another The New Psycho-Cybernetics book.
timeless book.......2007-08-27
There is not a lot new to me in this book due to my previous readings over the years, however, this book was first written decades before many other books I read. Maltz has it all together in this book - and maybe other books I've read have gotten their ideas from him. Still a good read and very worthwhile if you want to understand more about yourself and others.

In
American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis imaginatively explores the incomprehensible depths of madness and captures the insanity of violence in our time or any other. Patrick Bateman moves among the young and trendy in 1980s Manhattan. Young, handsome, and well educated, bateman earns his fortune on Wall Street by day while spending his nights in ways we cannot begin to fathom. Expressing his true self through torture and murder, Bateman prefigures an apocalyptic horror that no society could bear to confront.

Great New York City Horror.......2007-10-21
American Pyscho is terrific horror. This classic book is set in Manhattan 1980's. The author Bret Easton Ellis goes deep into the pyche of an inhumane serial killer.
Back from the Bardo: Three Short Stories by James Cage
One side of the American Dream.......2007-09-22
American Psycho is easily the most graphic and disturbing novel I've ever read, not to mention a brilliant satirical romp.
The beauty of this novel is how Ellis immerses the reader into the setting, a business-frenzied Manhattan of the 1980's. This is a character study that elucidates the shallow and incorporeal existence of an elite New York businessman, Patrick Bateman, who attempts to fill this void by surrounding himself with expensive wears, eating at only the best restaurants, and killing people; mostly women. The latter was the catalyzing factor (aside from the lack of satirical imagination in Feminists) of why American Psycho was met with such strident criticism. Given the idea that the first murder does not take place until well after the first 100 pages should have been ample evidence to Feminists and Humanitarians that the book is not just a catalog of arbitrary violence.
From the get-go, the story follows Pat Bateman as he vaults from one high-class social situation to another, getting air-kisses from his almost equally shallow fiancé and checking his perfect hair and chiseled features in any reflective material available. One thing that I found repetitious, but ultimately essential to the plot, was Bateman's scrutiny of his peer's clothing; a Valentino Couture suit here, a Matsuda blouse there. Another aspect of Bateman's character (in the book and the movie), one that I find to be the most hilarious, is the way he panics when some external and completely trivial situation poses a threat to his inherent perfection: "I am certain that we will not have a good table, but we do... relief washes over me in an awesome wave."
It's apparent that Ellis wanted to exemplify the degree of apathy held by these so-called 'Masters of the Universe.' Women are referred to as 'hardbodies,' the style of business card font and color is indicative of class and ranking, and reservations at the most exclusive of restaurants are seen as the same. One subtlety that is picked up on with a close reading is how all of these New York elites are clones of one another. Not one character can remember who Jack is from Sam. This story also harbors one of my favorite quotes: "Where do you Summer?" A hilarious dichotomy occurs during an extravagant dinner (complete with sorbet, never ice cream) when these Free-Market Capitalists are conversing about massacres in Sri Lanka and how social concern needs to stand against racial bigotry, all the while the word 'nigger' is used liberally by the same characters.
As the plot progresses, Patrick slips further and further into insanity. This is creatively articulated with monologs that comprise half if not most of the book. Bateman is the type of guy whose anger can be set off by anything. The murder scenes, unlike the ones in the movie, are easily x-rated and were hard for even me to stomach. I think Ellis found this imperative in this, his most relentless attack against rich, unsympathetic yuppies.
Between the book and the movie, I found that both have their strengths and their weaknesses. The music reviews (Phil Collins, Huey Luis, etc.) that Bateman meticulously narrates are character-driven and often funny, but hold not a candle to the amount of hilarity and style as that of Christian Bale articulating to a pair of escort girls; or Paul Allen. Where the book is more descriptive and transcendental, the movie is more goofy and amusing. I think Ellis spent a little too much time and effort stressing how completely callous the rich can be at times and could have cut a number of paragraphs out of the book. That said, this is definitely a story that needed to be told.
A great book that is hard to stomach, but pass the salt.......2007-09-07
"American Psycho" is a savage vivisection of society and relationships as portrayed through the depraved exploits of Patrick Bateman. Bateman flourishes in the yuppie-driven mores of the 80's. His wealth and intelligence are the facilities of his deranged obsessions and evil compulsions. Rather than satisfy the blood-lust, Bateman's oblivious victims stoke and embolden his psychotic frenzy.
"American Psycho" is extraordinarily graphic. Sex and violence imagery explode from the pages with Bateman-like fury. However, it is the duality of the character that is truly unnerving. Bateman can be charming, can be ruthless, can be generous, can be vicious, can be insightful, can be shallow, can be elegant, can be disgusting. Bateman's character attracts you with his panache and repulses you with his horrific offensives. It is an emotionally disturbing journey where sanity has no compass.
Ultimately it is clear this Bret Ellis novel transcends time and place. It is an expose of the human condition and how it can be exploited, deceived and imperiled.
Too explicit for my tastes, that's saying something........2007-09-06
I came to this book after thoroughly enjoying the movie adaptation; fantastic movie. In this case I found the book to be a little tedius and quite explicit, at times. I like to consider myself just as decensitized to violence as any North American in the 21st century, but the amount of gruesome detail Mr. Ellis goes into, is too much for tastes.
2.5 STARS
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the 80's.......2007-09-03
I know this is a satire.
I know this is supposed to be making a point.
I know that the main character is as sad, yuppie who lives for working out, getting laid, having the best stereo system and, oh yeah, one other thing, killing people in the most sick and sadistic ways.
That being said, I really liked the character but I disliked the style.
Patrick Bateman, our lead, is a homicidal maniac who is a day trader by day and by night he is a coke sniffing, club hopping, music lover who gets off on sleeping around and killing people. To top it all off, this all happens at ground zero of the yuppie era, New York City. This alone would make the book interesting, but Ellis takes it one step further in writing the book in an almost stream of consciousness style. Not only do you know what Patrick is thinking about during conversations with his victims, but you also get a sense of who he is and what makes him tick and what makes him explode.
The character is so well written that he could be real. He is supposed to be the stereotypical yuppie, but it goes beyond that. We get a sense of Patrick with all of his weaknesses, his likes, his intelligence and his lack there of. I literally found myself laughing at some of the things he said and thought and agreeing with him at other times. That is how good the character is written.
That all said, I found the writing style difficult to follow and that is why I gave it only 3 stars. The fact that 1 1/2 pages per chapter at times would be dedicated to what everyone was wearing made for tiresome reading. I know that we are looking into the mind of someone who could stand to take some real strong medication (stronger than what was available in the 80's) but I found that it took away from some of my enjoyment.
If you are a fan of books like Fight Club you should like this book.

Great book, good service, but no cd?.......2007-06-08
Thanks. Book arrived. Great condition, fast service. Am happy with it. But I was under the impression it was supposed to come with a cd... ?
Excellent for assessment personnel.......2007-01-13
I found this book very helpful in developing strategies and interpreting data from the WJ-III. It's a great tool for anyone who assesses children or adults.
Woodcock-Johnson III: Reports, Recommendations and Strategies.......2006-02-23
This manual is extremely useful when preparing for PPTs and when you are writing reports. I have found the new forms very useful. I would recommend this manual for every special education teacher.
A bargain at twice the price.......2005-01-04
This is a very powerful reference that can be a helpful tool for school psychologists and private practice clinicians. Mather and Jaffe divide this book into four helpful sections. The first has much to do with the Woodcock Johnson-III tests of cognitive abilities and academic achievement. They provide guidelines for assessment interpretation, including hypotheses of origins for varied subtest combinations. The second section of the book provides the reader with samples of varied examples of comprehensive psychological reports. These can help provide guidelines for report writing that includes (but is not limited to) the Woodcock Johnson-III.
The third and fourth sections are what make the book marketable to all practicing clinicians, not only those who use the WJ-III. The third section provides pages of recommendations for varied cognitive and academic weaknesses (such as problems with memory, auditory processing, reading, etc.) The fourth section provides practitioners with a series of strategies or programs that one can implement to help with documented referral concerns. Colleagues of mine who do not use the WJ-III have this book at the ready for the recommendatons and strategies alone.
As can be seen, Mather and Jaffe have created a comprehensive text that will undoubtedly be helpful to any practitioner in psychological assessment. I have not yet found someone who owns the book who has not found it to be extraordinarily helpful. Thank you Dr. Mather and Dr. Jaffe for creating a reference that will assuredly be indirectly helpful for our students.
Woodcock-Johnson III: Reports, Recommendations, & Strategies.......2003-09-25
Woodcock-Johnson III: Reports, Recommendations, and Strategies (Nancy Mather & Lynne Jaffe, New York: Wiley, 2002) is an essential resource, not only for evaluators who use the Woodcock-Johnson III and teachers who use the results of Woodcock-Johnson III (WJ III) assessments, but also for anyone involved in educational evaluation or planning individual educational programs.
The first section of the book begins with a collection of extremely well-designed forms, worksheets, and tables that make it much easier to organize and report WJ III evaluation findings so the findings will be understandable and helpful to teachers and parents. It continues with the clearest explanations I have seen of scores and levels of interpretation, including "sample statements for reports scores and score discrepancies." The section ends with valuable information on interpretation of comparisons between tests and patterns of errors, including a tremendously helpful, three-page table of "task analysis and comparison of selected tests."
The 31 sample reports (27 for children of ages 4 through 17 and 4 for adults) in the second section provide a variety of instructive models, including the use of 41 other tests to supplement the WJ III. Many different report formats are offered with a mixture of disabilities (including none).
The 158 pages of specific, practical, clearly explained recommendations, organized by categories, are a treasure chest for any evaluator or teacher. They include suggestions for further evaluation, accommodations and modifications, and teaching methods. This section could stand alone as a special education textbook. Including appropriate recommendations from this section will tremendously enhance the value of an evaluation report.
Finally, there are 85 pages of specific instructional strategies, some self-contained with needed materials printed in the book and others clear summaries with references to published materials. This clear, detailed presentation will provide even the most experienced evaluator or teacher with valuable, new information and will allow the evaluator to show teachers precisely how to carry out recommended instructional strategies with which the teachers may not be familiar.
The myriad resources in Woodcock-Johnson III: Reports, Recommendations, and Strategies achieve the seemingly contradictory goals of making it easier to write evaluation reports and making the reports much more useful to parents, teachers, and administrators.
The breadth, depth, clarity, and overwhelming utility of Woodcock-Johnson III: Reports, Recommendations, and Strategies make it an essential resource for even the most experienced evaluator or special education teacher as well as an ideal textbook for assessment courses. I enthusiastically recommend it.

Psycho-Cybernetics, I read almost 40 years ago. Not having touched it since has not dimmed the lasting and positive impression it had on me. Though I may not or do not remember details, I do recall it actually being one of the more important books I have read. It made sense to me and helped me when I was young. Now, while I try to help many struggling teen-agers, I am pondering if this book could help; is it still available? Then, I find to my pleasant surprise, it is; right there, on AMAZON.COM.
Best self-help book I've ever read...bar none.......2007-07-22
I've read stacks of self help books in my life. Most of the useful advice in each of the other self help books I've read have been padded versions of various truths in this book, which should be required reading for U.S. children entering Junior High. You could save yourself a lot of time and money by just getting this book. Thanks Max!!!
Put the wind in your sails and stay on course........2007-06-27
In a nutshell no one is perfect so accept yourself the way you are.
Forgive yourself and others. Have compassion. Accept yourself.
SEE YOURSELF AT YOUR BEST!
This CD discusses the importance of self image psychology, and how to stay on course to reach success and happiness. If you believe you can or can't do something you are probably right, but your servo mechanism will steer you in the direction of success. Having the courage to pursue your goals is the first step to achieving any success. Substitute old habits of failure with new habits of success by vividly imagining success with enthusiasm! You CAN push guilt and fear aside.
When we are off target we need to recognize that and make the propper corrections:
1. Frustrated? Remember assets. [Make a list of accomplishments.]
2. Aggression? Okay channel that energy! Use it towards your goals!
3. Insecurity? Make a decision.
4. Loneliness? Be kind and friendly. Show that you really care.
5. Uncertainty? Admit mistakes.
6. Resentment? Don't blame - visualize success!
7. Emptiness? Have goals.
When we are on target we will have shifted our focus to what really matters.
Train hard and have fun!

Book Description
Calvin and Hobbes are ready to pounce back on bestseller lists everywhere with this all-new collection of daily and color Sunday cartoons. Reprising the wide-open landscape format of last year's collection, The Days Are Just Packed, Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat chronicles another segment of the multifarious adventures of this wild child and his faithful, but skeptical, friend. If the best cartoons compel readers to identify themselves within the funny frames, then all who enjoy Calvin and Hobbes are creative, imaginative, and ... bad, bad, bad! Calvin, the irascible little boy with the stuffed tiger who comes to life are a pair bound for trouble. Boring school lessons become occasions for death-defying alien air battles, speeding snow sled descents elecit philosophical discussions on the meaning of life, and Hobbe's natural inclination to pounce on his little friend wreaks havoc on Calvin's sense of security. Calvin's the kid we all wish we'd been. Sassy, imaginative, far more verbal than his parents can manage, Calvin is the quintessential bad boy - and the boy we love to see. He terrorizes little Susie, offers "Candid Opinions" from a neighborhood stand, and questions his parents' authority. "What assurance do I have that your parenting isn't screwing me up?" he demands. Calvin and Hobbes manages to say what needs to be said about childhood and life: "Eww, mud," says Calvin. "Look at this gooshy, dirty, slimy, thick, wet mud... Bleecch... Talk about a kid magnet!" Created by Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes has quickly become a favorite in more than 2,300 daily and Sunday newspapers. Recent readership polls show the strip as No. 1 in the Kansas City Star, Salt Lake City Deseret News, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Dallas Morning News, Akron Beacon Journal, and Schedectady Daily Gazette.

Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-03
The title alludes to the four legged part of this classically funny duo. The thing that causes Hobbes, Calvin's tiger, the most joy, is pouncing on, and scaring the crap out of, his owner. Calvin is a willing participant, most of the time going along with it for the thrill. A lot of satire and insightful observation delivered along with the clowning, here.
Typical Calvin.......2007-05-27
This collection takes place mostly in winter/spring/summer and is not themed (as you would think) along the lines of Hobbes "pouncing" which made me hesitate to purchase it at first because I wasn't that keen on all that pouncing. If you are into that aspect of C&H, however, you can get the C&H Lazy Sunday Book Collection. This one DOES however contain a lot of his priceless snowman sculptures which I AB-SO-LOUTELY LOVE, a great deal of interation with Susie, and escapades in Miss Wormwood's class. 5 *s for another fantastic collection!
Do NOT read before bedtime. Depressing!.......2006-12-13
An only, lonely child. Bullied at school. Clearly a genius level intellect, he's unchallenged and stifled since nobody, not his parents, and not even his teacher, recognizes this. A father who's always too busy to spend any time with his son. A father who's often seen, get this, reading --*reading* -- rather than paying his only son some attention! A mother, who literally, in strip after strip, throws him out the door. Throws, as in "child flying through the air". A child, and a small child at that, allowed repeatedly to wander alone through the woods! A child denied even a pet. His only friend -- a stuffed tiger.
Makes the "Peanuts" look like "The Family Circus".
Classic Calvin and Hobbes.......2006-10-19
This collection has a few of my favorites in it (especially the girls/bugs analogy - priceless!) Great for any age - I read C&H starting around age 7 and I still read it today! I enjoy it just as much, though I see it from a unique perspective now. Every kid should grow up with this.
Stupendous Man!.......2006-08-18

Great companion to book.......2007-09-28
I bought this audio book to go along with my original copy of psycho-cybernetics. I spend a lot of time on the road and this is a great companion. This series is a must for anyone wanting to improve their quality of life.
Believing is seeing..........2007-03-24
I love this book on CD and wish I would have been exposed to it 20 years earlier. I like the step by step process that is described that allows me to experience actually results. The only thing that could be improved on is the
delivery of the material. The narrator has a somewhat boring tone to his voice.

Analysis of Freud's Book of Psychoanalysis.......2007-09-21
Freud, surprisingly, does a fine job in explicating the basic ideas behind Psychoanalysis. Unlike other texts which can use pretty complicated and verbose language, Freud (and the editors) used clear and easy to read syntax. I recommend this book for any looking to get a basic understanding of Psychoanalysis or to further enhance an undergraduate or graduate class.
Freud was interesting, but troubled..........2006-11-04
Frued was an interesting figure in history but a very troubled individual. He theorized based on his own feelings and beliefs about things (i.e. - Oedipus Complex, a son wants to kill his father and marry his mother) and also made a lot of generalizations from a handful of case studies of equally troubled individuals. When held up to scientific scrutiny, Freud is little more than an interesting appearance on Jerry Springer. He was addicted to cocaine, smoked dozens of cigars a day, and in the end took his own life. He should be surplanted as "the Father of Psychology" by B.F. Skinner or possibly Watson. They have done much more to make Psychology a science.
A study on human behavior.......2003-01-03
I would do great injustice if I attempt to provide my thoughts on the works of Sigmund Freud. I admit my knowledge in this area is shallow and limited; and I took this read more out of curiosity than a scientific study. With this said I would ask you to bear with me in the following paragraphs and at the same time suggest taking this read with a caution that undertaking this read requires immense patience.
The ego has the task for self-preservation; it performs that task by becoming aware of the stimuli, by storing up experiences about them in the memory. It handles it by avoiding strong stimuli, by dealing with moderate stimuli and finally by learning to bring about expedient changes in the external world to its own advantages. It performs that task by gaining control over the demands of the instincts, by deciding whether they are to be allowed satisfaction, by postponing the satisfaction to times and circumstances favorable to the external world or by suppressing their excitation entirely. It is in this activity that tensions are produced by the stimuli. The raising and lowering of these tensions cause unpleasure and pleasure. It is probable however that what is felt as pleasure or unpleasure is not the absolute heights and lows but something in the rhythm of the changes in them. The ego strives after pleasure and seeks to avoid unpleasure. An increase in unpleasure which is unexpected is met by a signal of anxiety.
In contrast to ego; the id expresses the true purpose of the individual organisms life. This consists for the satisfaction of its innate needs. No such purpose as keeping itself alive or protecting itself from dangers by means of anxiety can be attributed to the id. That is the task of the ego to figure out the most favorable and the least perilous method of obtaining satisfaction; which entails taking the external world into account. The forces which hide behind the tensions caused by the needs of the id are called instincts. Freud proposed the existence of two basic instinct Eros and destructive instinct. The aim of the first is to establish greater unities and to preserve them thus in short to bind them together. The aim of the second is to undo connections and to destroy things. Modifications in the proportions of the fusion between the two instincts have the most opposite result. A surplus of sexual aggressiveness will turn a lover into a sex murderer, while a sharp diminution in the aggressive factor will make him bashful or impotent.
excellent resource...........2000-05-28
well-organized and well-written; very compact and filled with formulations useful to a comprehension of some of Freud's core concepts.
This book was informormative and well written.......1999-05-04
I found that this book was on a higher level than most of Freud's literary pieces. Though many of the same information is presented here, it is presented in a wholey different manner, and a much more understandable one. I personaly find this a fairly good source of reference. Though one can not rely completely on anyone of Freud's ideas; they give good background to new ones.

Harold Schechter is a historian: he takes old files and yellowed newspaper clippings, and brings their stories to life. Deviant is about everyone's favorite ghoul, Ed Gein--whose crimes inspired the writers of Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. Schechter deftly evokes the small-town 1950s Wisconsin setting--not pretty farms and cheese factories, but infertile soil and a bleak, hardscrabble existence. The details of Gein's "death house" are perhaps well known by now, but the murderer's quietly crazy, almost gentle personality comes forth in this book as never before. As Gary Kadet wrote, in The Boston Book Review, "Schechter is a dogged researcher [who backs up] every bizarre detail and curious twist in this and his other books ... More importantly, he nimbly avoids miring his writing and our reading with minutiae or researched overstatement, which means that although he can occasionally be dry, he is never boring."
Also recommended: Schechter's books about Albert Fish (Deranged) and Herman Mudgett a.k.a. Dr. H. H. Holmes (Depraved).

PsychoKiller Quest que cest?.......2007-10-16
Quest que cest,yes, just what is it about those psychokillers past,present and future that holds our attention.Words are used to define their acts such as ghoulish,fiendish,psychotic necrophilic deviants etc, but why do they do it and just what is the root cause of their extreme antisocial behaviors.How can one live with these episodic,violent bloodbaths and continue to function as if all was right with the world.Deviant is an excellent start on your quest for comprehension.It chronicles the life and times of one of the most notorious killers who wasn't all that notorious at all, at least during the daylight hours.Edward Gein,a local town simpleton who took the oedipal complex way too far and acted out in the only way he knew how, was well on his way to becoming a legendary boogieman. The research is sound and factually based on the circumstances of his early life, his distorted relationship with his mother and those around him.His penchant for nocturnal,necrophilic activities such as grave robbing, his unique use of skin and bone applications in home decorating ideas you would never find in Better Homes and Gardens,and the art of human butchering are all here for the reader to digest.For those who enjoy this stuff it is a fast read,a real page turner.Gein is practically iconic now given that this occurred in the late 1950's.The setting is yet another rural,midwest,one horse town described by some as the dead heart of Wisconsin,an appropriate description for Plainfield, a dismal,barren,isolated patch of mostly dead farmland with nothing to do except slowly go insane.Ed Geins actions are considered to be the bedrock of most of our literary and cinematic killers,all fashioned and linked in some way to what he did and how he did it.Schechter does a good job in keeping with the facts without too much conjecture or sensationalization.Deviant is all you'll need if you want to know about the grandaddy of them all,the actual example all of our most nightmarish killers were modeled after.Just how many deaths,local disappearances and actual grave robbings took place has remained a mystery. He admitted to some things but could not recall others.A real cool character that Ed Gein.He was someone you would never suspect which is why he evaded detection for over a decade.How could the local idiot commit such horrible acts?This is the crux of the facinating field of forensics and psychiatry with regard to the criminal mind.There is a potential Ed Gein in every town in America,hell the world as well.Read and learn about them and hopefully you might not be next on the menu for decapitation and flaying which for Ed Gein assisted in his hobbies of dress and jewelery design. This book is a winner and will enhance the macabre section in your library.
Short and to the point.......2007-09-02
Ed Gein was just CRAZY INSANE!!!!! The author did a good job in trying to figure out what in the WORLD could have compelled someone to such insanity. Good read
Couldn't put it down!.......2007-08-06
This was a great book! I was completely obsessed with reading it. I finished it in two days. The prose wasn't terribly difficult. This book really went into the facts of the case in an interesting way. You end up feeling a little sorry for Ed Gein, but still never wanting to have been around him in any way. I recommend this book for anyone who loves true crime stories or like to read about psychopaths.
One of the best true crime books I've read..........2007-06-12
Ok, so I'm kind of cheating because I haven't finished reading it yet, but since I got this a couple of days ago I haven't been able to put it down. It starts with Ed Geins parents and go's into very detailed chapters about everything leading up to Ed Gein. I personally only read true crime books because for myself I try to understand how people become killers, its my finding that 98% of serial killers, mass murderers etc are the way they are because of over possessive mothers and weak fathers, if they even had a father at all. I highly recommend this book and another book called "Cannibal" which is about a man called Armin Mewes who posted an ad on the internet for someone to surrender themselves to be eaten. If you love true crime you will LOVE this book!!
Murder & Graverobbing.......2007-02-22
Harold Schechter presents 'Deviant', the true crime book about Ed Gein, the inspiration for Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Buffalo Bob in Silence of the Lambs. Schechter gives us a run down of Gein's life from childhood up to around age 12, then jumps forward into his adult life with the death of his father, brother, and mother. From there we get into the public interest of this man, the murders and grave-robbing followed by his arrest and institutionalization and eventual trial. The atrocities Gein performed are covered almost a tad bit lacking in detail but that's one of the good things of the book is the presentation of the facts rather than the exploitation of the crimes.
I'm split on this book. Schechter presents a pretty thorough covering of the events of Ed Gein and the media circus surrounding it. However, he spends a lot of time naming police officers, judges, and doctors that have little interest to us, the readers. After reading Schechter's excellent book on Albert Fish, I just expected more from this one on Ed Gein. Don't get me wrong, it's a good book but the flow just didn't work for me this time around.
