2.0 out of 5 stars Not all great quotes..., April 25, 2006

This review is from: 1001 Motivational Quotes for Success: Great Quotes from Great Minds (Paperback)

I wanted to like this book. It's a great size for carrying around to dip into. However, I'd say about a third, or maybe more, I haven't counted, are anonymous. Here's an example: "Life is filled with possibilities" p31. Now I don't know about you, but I'd hardly class that as great stuff from great minds. Then I read "Decide what is worthwhile and follow through with it" and I'm beginning to yawn. When I came to "Above all, life should be fun" and "Always keep a window open in your mind for new ideas" and I'm just about ready to throw the book into the garbage. Also, the format of the book is terrible. Someone decided to put every quote into a little frame, so you get four quotes on a page.

Still, for the price, it's not that bad. No, on second thoughts it's pretty dire. There's just too many pathetic jingles in here for me, which only motivate me to demand a refund! If I were you, I'd save my money and put it towards something else - "The Book of Positive Quotations" has 7000 quotes and I wouldn't be without my copy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slightly disappointing, June 19, 2005

This review is from: 1001 Motivational Quotes for Success: Great Quotes from Great Minds (Paperback)

I bought this book, as I often do, on the basis of the gushing reviews. The quotes themselves are wide-ranging and varied, and do live up to their promise of motivation to a degree, maybe not to the extent promised by the author: "Don't wait another day, achieve success TODAY!!!".

I would have preferred if the quotes were grouped into some sort of chapters or themes, rather than randomly listed. Shallow as it may seem, I found the layout and design quite unattractive, which matters to me in a book that you should want to handle often.

5.0 out of 5 stars This little book is ALL you need!, May 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: 1001 Motivational Quotes for Success: Great Quotes from Great Minds (Paperback)

Not everybody is self-motivated and often times we don't have the time to read an entire book in one sitting. Tom Vilord's 1001 Motivational Quotes for Success is perfect for those times where you need a few quick "shots in the arm". What is most impressive is his collection of quotes from some of the greatest writers, philosopers and business titans. Even Tom Vilord himself has quite a few original quotes you can benefit from. I strongly suggest you buy the book for you and a friend. It will be the best [money] you ever spent.
