    There are two things that make this highly readable and relatable book worthwhile: Joann Lublin's excellent writing, and that fact that over 50 women opened up to her to talk about the real (and often embarrassing and highly uncomfortable) situations they faced in business. While young women today may be spared some of the humiliation these executives endured, the lessons shared - including Joann's, who talks about her own personal harassment and discrimination - are relevant, practical and insightful. The women in this book are brave and inspiring leaders, and their stories will resonate across generations.

  • Christopher Taylor - Misrepresentation!

    I ordered this product from Grady's because it was slightly cheaper than the other listed sellers. Big mistake! The product arrived on time and appeared to be the product I ordered. However, I first noticed something was wrong when the top of the bottle was taped shut with a strip of packing tape. I found this odd, as every other bottle I've ordered has had standard packaging that fixes the top to the bottle on its own. Next, when I opened it to use on my dog it was green and thin in consistency. As any Adams Flea Shampoo user knows, Adams is bright blue (like the bottle) and thick in consistency. To make matters worse, whatever shampoo or chemical they filled the Adams bottle with, caused an allergic reaction on my dog's skin. 3 months later, we are still trying to get his skin and coat back to normal. He's lost lumps of hair and developed lesions all over his skin. I will never order from them again! I wouldn't even give them a star if I could.

    Before you go and blow all your money on this product, let me be the one to tell you this company is full of it... I hadn't been able to write a review because they took the product off right after my supply was over. This stuff is crap. The reviews are MOST LIKELY FAKE and I've officially gone out of my way to spare all of you. Don't blow your money on this when you can purchase something better. The economy is messed up, people are trying to make money, and I sure hope no one purchases from these people again. By the way; strawberry flavor? They're full of it. It tasted and smelled like chicken bouillon.
