Don't expect this little book to solve all the problems you are having with your ex. It can't. It can help you adjust your attitude to better deal with the situations as they arise. I loved it. I shared it. I even give it as a gift to others going through the same things. I highly recommend it for what it is. Nothing more and nothing less.
It gave me hope and a new attitude that has helped when nothing else did. Read it, you'll see.

I think this is a great little book. Amazon shipped me the 2000 edition and it came very fast. I have bought a lot of books and feel good if I learn something from them. With this book I learned something about myself. Well worth the money.

No ... book is going to solve anyone's custody issues. This book helped me slow down and think about how I felt about things and how I was reacting. Well worth the money.

Read a listing and think about what it has to do with your child, or you, or your case, or the other parent. Some won't mean a thing to you. Others will remind you of things you already knew. Many will cause an attitude adjustment: a positive adjustment. It is a list of other people's sayings with many others put in by the complier. It is useful if you are engaged in custody litigation. Killers & Boosters is an opportunity to pull away from much of the anger, fear and frustration. It even helps you deal with many of the toxic emotions. Well worth the money.

I have all the books by this author. This small volume is huge on 'Right Think' especially when the people you love encourage you to 'Wrong Think'. It's amazing how vindictive your family and friends get when you are wronged. The instant pleasure of revenge is quickly replaced by pain you feel when you see the damage you have done to your own case. Killers & Boosters keeps you on the right path. Money well spent.

Lots to think about in a little book.
I found my attitude did need adjustment.
My kids helped me see thru some of my blind spots.
I have taped 3" X 5" cards with some of this advice around the house. Good value.

The book is a collection of 1,896 sayings. Some are quotes, some are sayings that we have heard all of our lives. There is a lot of wonderful information in this collection.

It is sub-titled as Attitude Adjustment for Child Custody Litigants. While there is some information specific to child custody cases, by far the most applies to everyday life.

I simply love the information in the book. There are a copule of problems I have with the book. There is index or for that matter any organization to the collection. It would be much better if the quotes and saying were organized under some general category. If you read something you like, it is next to impossible to find it again.

I believe the book would be much more effective it there were less quotes or saying and more commentary on the quote or saying. For example, instead of a almost two thousand sayings, in my opinion, it would be better to have 100 of the best quotes that apply to child custody with an essay on each of those quotes. The problem with short quotes is most people do not give the quote enough thought.

If you are looking for a great little pocket book to leaf through when you are waiting, this is fairly good. I think some of the attribution is rather loose, but if you are more concerned with the ideas, it is good for just spot reading.

It would be better with an index or at least separated by broad categories. But still has a lot of great sayings.

It isn't easy to remember to use common sense when things are going well. It is especially hard if things are not going well. I have heard many of these bits of advice in other situations but would not have remembered them during a battle for custody of my child. I like the format of this little book and found a heap of help when I needed to sort things out.

If I only had to pay for the listings that helped me, the book paid for itself in the first 8 pages. Good advice for the price.

I love this kind of book. Short quotes and statements to make you think about what is really happening. It's small, it's inexpensive and it helps.

A poor quality badly written book with unacceptable spelling and grammatical mistakes and editorial oversights. It is a list of other people's sayings with some trite and obvious ones thrown in by the complier. It is not useful at all for persons engaged in custody litigation.
