This was written by a person that has less then 5 years of experience, who went to a week-end class and then called herself a Dominant (P.16). Now she is giving bad information about subjects that she has little real knowledge about. For example, she has a chapter on a poly house without having ever had a poly house or any kind of poly experience (P.86). The author's idea of dominance is to domineer rather than to dominate (P.218). She is quoting an "online" dominant that admits to having only one year of online experience let along no real-time experience.

She is extremely inconsistent in what she says, she tries to use psychology to explain behaviors but it is obvious that she has no real understanding of slave psychology (or any other kind of psychology). She has serious personal issues (such as abandonment P.33), pettiness, and other serious control issues that she writes about whereas she should not be giving advise to beginners that are seeking truth. She shows her style of dominance as being manipulative based upon her own insecurities... (P.41). The book is fragmented and rambles on and on.

This is a book that is filled with very bad and misleading information concerning this way of life by an inexperienced person with a lot of personal issues and little real ability to Dominate.

I would not even recommend this book to my cat. It is poorly written and there are other far better books that deal with the same issues and subjects overall. If there was a negative rating this would get a negative 4 stars.

In 8 chapters, Machele Kindle, otherwise known as Master Fire, lays out her reasoning and purpose behind her own M/s household's structure. Her approach is purposeful, meant to help her readers consider what they want and how to get it while being grounded in reality. Each section includes three parts: first her reasoning behind each set of expectations, second a set of questions for both wouldbe masters and wouldbe slaves to consider, and finally a copy of the relevant section of her own manual. A good look into one master's mind that does not fall into the common trap of thinking hers is the only way a relationship should function

This is a very important book in the literature about Master/slave relations and, in particular, about Master/slave Households. This book is both very narrow and very broad. It is narrow because it remains true to discussing the often-complex workings of a Leather Household. It is broad in that it succeeds extremely well in covering the intricacies and give and take of such a Household.

For those of you interested in the Leather Master/slave life, it's a "must read."

While this work is an introduction to the subject matter, it is not the How-to manual some might think it is or should be. Far from it. IMHO, it is rather, yet another insight and tool as to how one person chooses to go about doing what the title suggests.

This is not the sage wisdom where one can go to and , "POOF", they have the perfect document or guide on how to live their 24-7 and operate their own house. Use this manual as a source book to gain ideas to foster thought along with other sources before you delve into one of the most complicated tasks a Head of Household can embark upon.
