I have 2 self-help books that works like charm! Great for all ages.
Title: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers
Categories: Self-help
Author: Sean Covey
Language: English
Where you get that material: MPH Mid Valley
Comments: Now this book helps me as a teenager to become a better person, it is easy to read and has a little bit of humor in it, making it fun to read.
Title: How to win Friends and Influence People
Categories: Self-help
Author: Dale Carnegie
Language: English
Where you get that material: Kinokuniya
Comments: This book is like old but was re-released. So far, this book is great, it is the book that makes you think and reflect, pretty much like 7 High Effective Habits, only this one is more for the adults.
An exceptionally great book. I'm at Habit #4 now. Dr. Covey really studies deep into human habits and characteristics. I loved that part: Our Center (Materials centered, family centered, pleasure centered, etc.)Title: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teenagers

This guy is brilliant.
Anyway, this is my review on...
Title: The Jury
Categories: Legal Thriller
Author: Steve Martini
Language: English
Comments:
I really wished there were more legal thriller novels written in this form, where the courtroom action was intense and brilliant. The argument was being thrown left and right by both sides' attorney, objecting each side and fighting for relativity of each opponent's case.
As the trial continues, facts of the case slowly unfolds. This is the technique of plotting a story in which readers are drawn in, I just find myself reading and reading without wanting to stop.
You know the feeling of wanting to skip a few pages? When the story goes on a slow mode, you wanna skip all the slow crap and move to the interesting parts. This book has no slow mode!
This book has some suspense element but because the courtroom action was more intense, the author did the right thing; capitalize on the action, leaving only the suspense towards the end of the book. This is the right play coz towards the end, there were no more court hearings
Ratings: 7/10
