1.0 out of 5 stars Bogus! (well, at least for the reviews), October 7, 2006

By

This review is from: Change Your Home, Change Your Life (Paperback)

This may be a good book (maybe even a great one) but don't judge it from the 3 reviews before mine, they are likely fakes.


The book was released on September 19th, 2006. Yet by September 14th, three people (all with no previous reviews and very similar writing styles) had already claimed it has changed their lives? And the first reviewer even said she learned about the book from a friend's recommendation! I guess virtual reviewers live life in nano-time!


If those reviews are from people who know the author and/or received pre-release copies of the title, then identify yourself as such, so the usefulness of such a review may be judged accordingly.


Shill reviews on Amazon (and elsewhere online) are an unfortunate fact of life nowadays. Therefore we must at least be skeptical of ones that seem suspicious.

2.0 out of 5 stars Change Your Home, Get A Life, November 15, 2006

By 

lewis jackman (Sleepy Lagoon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Change Your Home, Change Your Life (Paperback)

Pretty pictures of pretty houses and the author is certainly more photogenic than Martha Stewart but from an informational standpoint, there's nothing here you haven't seen or heard dozens of times before in women's magazines or on daytime TV talk shows.

If a compilation of timeworn tips on how you might rearrange your furniture, jazz up a delivered pizza with a smattering of your own spices or select a new color scheme for your breakfast nook really constitutes a life-changing moment in your life, well, color you shallow.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Change Your Home, Change Your Life (Paperback)

This is a real testimony. I purchased this book and was immediately intrigued by some of the questions. One went something like this: "When someone comes to your home, what does your home tell them about you?" (I don't have the book, because I lent it to a good friend; Another friend ordered her own copy.) You see I lived in a perfectly lovely home for about 7 years but I was TOO busy to do anything with it. I was a full-time professional, single mother, etc. etc. But one day, I came across this book and just started doing the smallest of changes. For example, I just switched some pictures from the kitchen to my bedroom. Even that small change, started a change in the atmosphere of the whole house. Any way, baby step, by baby step, I changed my home so NOW when I open the door I have a home that is no longer a BLANK SLATE...It now looks like ME! I want to thank the beautiful author for inspiring an overworked single-mother on a modest budget to create the house of her dreams. And what was so surprising is that it did not take TONS of money. I did like she suggested and moved around pictures, pieces of furniture, covered worn arm chairs with a pretty scarf, lit some candles, bought a couple gallons of paint, etc. I purchased a couple of pieces of gently used furnitute from a thrift store. Changing your Home and your Life is SO doable even for those of you like me who dealing with numerous work reponsibilities and family committments all on a tight budget. But the rewards! One example: I turned my neglected living room into a "reading room" where I can spend a few special moments in the morning and late at night curled up on my couch surrounded by all my wonderful books! Thank you Moll for your inspiration and for really helping me to change my home and my life! You're the best! This book is highly recommended!
