Dances with Wolves, very good
I requested Dances with Wolves because I wanted to see how the author originally developed the story line.The book was just like the movie with a few extra details.It explained some aspects of the movie that, while interesting, would not have added greatly to the enjoyment of the film.Overall I enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it to others that like western stories.

It made me want to become a Comanche.
If you enjoyed the novels by Jack London (including Call of the Wild and White Fang) or the motion picture, The Last Samurai, then you will love this novel.Based at the end of the civil war, the story is told from the point of view of Lieutenant John Dunbar.The story is about the transformation of a man as he transitions from the cold industrial world of the whites to the wild, uninhibited world of the Comanche Indians.The writing is rich, full of detail and meaning, accompanied with plenty of action and journal entries to add a noticeable aspect to the Lieutenant's transformation. I was sad to put this book down; it is clear why a movie was made based on this literature.

POSSIBLY THE BEST MOVIE EVER BASED ON THIS BOOK
What more needs to be said huh? When you watch the movie, as the music kicks in, you are transported not just in mind but also in body to a place that none of us were able to see first hand. The way the Indians (excuse me, I meant Native Americans although Clovis People are the real Natives, but that's another topic for another day) are portrayed as the good guys and the whites as the bad guys truly hits home.
The best of the best include Dances with Wolves, Lord of the Rings, Gone with the Wind. If stranded on an island, those are the three titles and movies I would want with me. I suppose you can add Raiders of the Lost Ark to this list as well as Star Wars. Combined, what is that like 100 Oscars between all those movies.

I have not yet read the book but I will as soon as I get through my other 50 or so books I have bought in the last 6 months. The thing of it is, what really drives Dances w/Wolves is the music in the movie. It just makes your heart swell with hope that one day true love may find us.

The book is better, in my opinion.
A friend recently gave me a copy of the "Dances With Wolves" movie (one of my favorites since seeing it years ago) and the book which I had never read.After a repeat viewing of the movie, I read the book.

The main reason I normally prefer the book versions of a story is that one gets to know the thoughts and feelings of the main characters that embellish each scene and are actually sometimes needed to understand the full scope.

This reason especially applies in the case of "Dances With Wolves," written by Michael Blake.The main character is alone with only his horse, the infrequent visits of a lone wolf and his brief journalized thoughts for company until his company includes a nearby camp of Indians.As the beautiful and memorable story transpires amidst a language barrier, one is privy to a richness of behind-the-scenes depth the movie version is limited in presenting.

There are a few variations between the movie and the book, including the ending (and I prefer the ending of the book), but if you liked the movie, you will love the book.

Better than the movie
I saw the movie only once and it was good, but this book was way better! I can't wait to read Holy road. ... Read more

Product Description
Basically simple in principle -- hit the ball into the hole by using as few strokes as possible -- golf is one big sand trap of mysterious terminology. If you're a rabbit or a duffer, you need to know your spade-mashie from your mashie-niblick and your brassie from your jigger -- or you just might foozle on the fairway. Of course, golf is also much more. In Golf For Dummies, author Gary McCord, colorful CBS golf commentator, along with John Huggan, former Golf Digest senior writer, share their expertise on technique, courses, rules, etiquette, and equipment. Whether you're new to the game or a pro, you'll enjoy hearing about the history and personalities of this beloved sport.Amazon.com Review
If you don't know the difference between a lob wedge and a lemonwedge, check out Golf for Dummies, by CBS commentator GaryMcCord, one of the game's most colorful--andknowledgeable--characters. It's a wonderful, often hilarious, neverboring introduction to the game. Don't let the foreword by KevinCostner or the afterword by Hootie and the Blowfish confuse the issue;this is a terrifically sound, easy-to-follow primer. McCord'spotato-chip drill--yes, potato-chip drill--will revolutionize yourswing, and your thinking, with overtones that could spill directlyinto off-the-course existence, as well. ... Read more

Very, Very Deceptive... especially with reviews
I am an Amazon Prime Member, and order on average every week from Amazon.I am typically a satisfied customer, but this is really irritating.This book is NOT the full version.It is a "miniature" version.If you are an insanely diligent shopper and read the actual dimensions for the book, you would have been tipped off to this.However, if you read the "good" reviews, its for the full version of this publication.Nowhere in the product description does it indicate this is the miniature version, outside of the product dimensions (and maybe ISBN if you are that analytical).Overall, its very disappointing to be ripped off be a retailer that has earned so much of my business.I hope Amazon is happy with the $9 revenue they have earned off jipping me on the "mini" version packaged as the full version, but it will cost them thousands this holiday season.CONGRATULATIONS AMAZON!

All of the above aside, it is kind of a neat novelty gift.Caveat emptor... this is not as it seems from the description and reviews.

Late Golf Bloomer
What a great resource for newbies to the game. As a 72-year-old who doesn't even know when/where one changes from street to golf shoes, it's all covered in this well-written nicely priced book...while my instructor hasn't encouraged me to go out on the course...just yet...I know some things about golf strokes that my so-called "good" golfer neighbors don't know!

Good Transaction
This item was priced right, shipped quickly and in great condition when it arrived. I would use this seller again!

great resource for a beginner
While you still benefit best from a personal lesson, reading this book has been very helpful!

Worthless, a rip off
This book is worthless, a complete waste of money. I bought it three years ago when I started playing golf. I keep going back it hoping to get some value out of it. About 50 rounds later, I'm a pretty good golfer but have learned nothing from this book. Check out Ben Hogan's book, David Leadbetter's DVDs and lots of free videos on the Internet for something that will help you. ... Read more
