Better than I thought it would be - By: Sally Wilton, 05 Aug 2008 
I started this book with a very cynical view thinking it wouldnt be that good. I was pleasantly surprised though to find it isin fact quite interesting & has many helpful ideas.
The page on looking at a persons eyes to see if they are thinking about the past, present, remembering etc is very accurate. I tried it myself & it seems to work.
Definately a useful book to read & find out more about NLP.
Excellent introduction - By: Janie, 07 Jul 2008 
This book is an excellent introduction to NLP & presents all the core conceptsin an accurate way. NLP is a very wide-ranging theory but this author has managed to introduce the core framework very cogently. Perhaps there could have been more diagrams & illustrations, & perhaps a little less jargon too - but as NLP has so much of its own terminology it's difficult to see how this could be avoided. I would have liked to read a little more about time perception too, after reading Steve Taylor's excellent book Making Time Making Time: Why Time Seems to Pass at Different Speeds & How to Control It, which looks at why time seems to speed up & slow down (and even completely disappear)in different situations.
Too much detail and not enough 'how to practicality'. - By: C. Mackenzie, 12 May 2008 
If u enjoy reading science textbooks or biology books or pages & pages of jargon & talking, then this is for u.if like me ur intrigued by NLP & want a few 'how to' tips then find something more practical. A waste of money.Minimum info on reading body language. A BIG disappointment.
a great introduction to NLP - By: annetortue, 12 Feb 2008 This book does exactly what is say on the cover: introducing you to Neuro-Linguistic Programming. i am quite a visual learner & was disappointed by not seeing many picturesin it but i found that the authors have excelled at making the techniques accessible to all. I have read the bookin about 4/5 hours & have made notes along the way of techniques to usein my own life. Just a week in, I can already see changesin myself & the way I deal with others.
The only reproach I would make to the book is that it is packed with a lot of information & that ALL the techniques look interesting. I feel that as a reader I did not have enought time to take themin & try them before moving to another aspect of NLP: pace was too fast (hence the note takingin my journal).
I have also purchased NLP workbook by O'Connor (on of the author of Introducing NLP programming) & I like the fact that it has "guided" exercises, on the other hand i found its pace a little too slow for a book for my liking but great for a seminar.
i would thoroughly recommend this book to start NLP but you may need to combine it with a more practical guide for excellent results.
Introducing NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming - By: Roger Boyle, 10 Jan 2008 As with most booksin this field it promises much & delivers very little.
Quite a lot of Psycho-Babble that really means very little.
By all means read it but it wont change your life or reprogram your brain!
Derren Brown's recent book has some information about NLPin it & is quite sceptical
