From AudioFile
Tony Roberts has a plummy voice touched with petulance. This tone was appropriate when he played the hapless good-looking friend in early Woody Allen movies. The undertone of disappointment is also apt for this beloved first novel by Kurt Vonnegut. CATÕS CRADLE was published in 1963. The hero is named Jonah, and the news is always bad. The world doesnÕt end with a bang, or a whimper. It ends with Ice Nine and a rueful chuckle. VonnegutÕs own voice--roughed by a million cigarettes--is heard in an interview tacked on at the end. ÒMy dying words are ÔLife is no way to treat an animal,ÕÓ he said, and then he laughed. The great-hearted pessimist of American literature died in 2007 at the age of 84.

What's Hot: Save It! "Business Plans For Dummies." This guide by Paul Tiffany, a management consultant and business-school professor, and Steven D. Peterson, a software designer and entrepreneur, is, quite frankly, the best work that you'll find on this subject. What makes this 354-pager a standout is that it urges business owners to write plans that are not only informative but captivating. Five stars! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Business Plans for Dummies (Paperback) I've done a number of business plans in my time and bought this book as a gift for a friend who wants to start her own business. I purchased it because it includes all of the basics needed to develop a business plan that will guide you as you start and build your business and will also give you the credibility you need to secure outside financing. This is a very good step-by-step guide for those completely new to business and an excellent refresher guide for those who already know the basics. And, by the way, you can skip the companion Dummies book called Business Plans Kit, which covers the same ground as this book but includes a CD-ROM that doesn't add much value. The truth is, this book is cheaper and offers just as much help as the larger and more expensive kit version.
