Maxime Leblanc maximeleblanc — ** spoiler alert ** This book really pissed me off. Good behind-the-scenes information, but too much justification. It feels like after-the-fact whitewashing. I can't decided if Peterson is genuinely a decent person or an asshole. Probably both, because he does come off as quite human. He preaches the virtues of honesty and dealing with people in a straightforward manner, but admits to being less than honest. He mentions that he had many corporate assets in his house, such as a computer connected to the corporate network (this is all pre-VPN), telephone, etc. While I'm sure these were used *primarily* for work-related activities, I find it hard to believe that *at no time* they were ever used for personal matters. He then spends an entire paragraph whining about some unnamed person using corporate time and resources to print and mail a hate letter addressed to him. Whiney is a good adjective for Peterson. He seems all too willing to excused his shortcomings while openly admitting that he cared nothing for his employees' personal well-being. Exercise, family matters, etc., were not the company's concern and should be dealt with during off-hours. However, because he was so completely swallowed by the company, which consumed all of his personal time, any personal activities he needed to accomplish are simply pushed aside. He openly admits that he had no managerial experience or business education, then spends large portions of the book touting his successes. Granted, given his lack of experience and education, he did accomplish a lot. So did Ghengis Khan. At one point, he considered going back to college and getting a masters degree but didn't because he felt the company could not survive his absence. He settled for reading 2-3 chapters from a few marketing books and then throwing together a few plans. While he did accomplish a lot, he continually brushes over and excuses his willful, knowing and sometimes intentional shortcomings. Human, at best. Taskmaster, at worst. When he was asked to leave the company, my only reaction was to wonder why it took them so long. I have to wonder why this book was ever published by any self-respecting publisher. I don't recommend it at all. However, feel free to come to your own conclusions. The book is available for free online at http://www.wordplace.com/ap/ and is a quick read. I'm a slow reader and worked through it in less than a day. It's available for free online because (1) the book only sold around 10,000 copies and (2) is now out of print. Out of print. It's a wonder that this book ever saw the light of day at all. The online version "fixed five typos" but there are plenty to be found, along with several formatting issues. I'm guessing Peterson didn't use WordPerfect to edit this.

Eddie Elsewhere _ddie_lsehwere — In this book Ransom is sent to another world much different from the last. He is sent to a world where the human race is just starting out with a man and a woman much like Adam and Eve. And like on Earth, an evil force like Satan has come to tempt the woman. This is where I must say that even though the books in this trilogy are supposed to be just as great read separate from each other, you really do need to read the first book (Out of the Silent Planet) to fully understand Ransom’s decision making in this book. There were many times I felt that C.S. Lewis' genious was lost on me. I'd read a paragraph (the paragraphs are really long) and think there must be so much intended for me to understand and think about that I missed. I might have to read this one again. Makes me wonder how everything really went down for our first parents and what the FULL conversation between Eve and Lucifer was like. I also wonder how things would have gone if Eve had not partaken of the forbidden fruit.

Ashley Sime _ey_ose — Excellent. The grown-up versions of Rowlings' characters are so much more fun than they were as kids. The books just keep getting darker and more ominous; I can't wait for the final installment.
