review 1: I think this book has something interesting about using cell phone in public environment and how to prevent yourself of receiving telemarketing calls. But the overall opinion about this book is boring. The author seems to be a picky person, I understand that she is right about some aspects that she described in the book, but it is not necessary exaggerate and be dramatic in expressing her opinion.
review 2: Amy puts rude people in their place-by sometimes being rude herself! While that might affront some people, I found it wildly hilarious and entertaining. When I correct someone out in public (and I do more often then I realized), I try to be nice, but sometimes people need a good bitch-slapping. Amy is definitely the gal to do it.Wonderful personal stories, g... morereat advice (like freezing your credit reports), and plenty of websites for information and tools. I love that she invoices telemarketers. And Amy doesn't go after the poor person who is forced to call her just to make a dime, she goes after the fat cats who feel like invading our time and privacy is just fine as long as it saves them a buck.I agree that there is a distinct lack of manners, etiquette and common courtesy in our society. Don't lay down and take it. Let people know that they are being rude, inconsiderate, and even stepping on your rights! But maybe try doing it politely first, and if that doesn't work, feel free to take the gloves off. less
