BEWARE
Beware! I gave this book a 1 star review. My review was attacked immediately by several people who seemed at first to be true fans of the book. After investigation I found that several of them had profiles with ONLY 5 star reviews of this book, along with negative attacks on anyone who wrote a 1 star review. I found it disturbing, and I'm questioning if they are real people or fake avatars.
My review was removed today, it seems. Beware the reviews! It seems that 1 star reviews are attacked and removed, while a mysterious 100+ 5 star reviews all popped on the site on the same day.
If you purchase this book as a 'read', well then no problem. If you have ANY illusions that this book is a "GUIDE" as it states in the title, and you plan on using it to lose weight, gain muscle, or have 'incredible sex' there are many different books on the market better suited. This book is one man's testimonial to the extreme abuse he put himself through. Ferriss' loopholes (such as the REGAIN of muscle, touted as GAIN) are misleading and dangerous for the average lay person.
Buyer beware!
