Amazon is a really reliable website.  I order from them all the time and have never had a problem.

I concur! You can likely buy an eBook also so you don't have to worry about shipping charges, etc.

It's been a few days since I have read this book but because of mass this morning I was able to read the chapter about House of Carters. I thought it was pretty interesting that he perceives himself as a control freak. For some reason I never really pictured him like that. I'm also kind of surprised that he is trying this whole reality thing again with Lauren after seeing how horrible his experience was with his siblings. I know it was a different thing but still...he made me feel like maybe he's taking a step in the wrong direction with this one. Hope not though!

I'm not sure about this new reality show either, but I think what will make it different is the fact that he and Lauren seem to have a healthy, functional relationship.  It won't be a bunch of drunken arguing like House of Carters was.  I'm sure it will show him in a much better light.

I read the heart chapter of Nick's book yesterday. It was very interesting. I wasn't surprised to hear he was a hypochondriac. I wish he would have talked about the guys and their thoughts on what he was going through. I'm sure it's not something he wants to talk about but it sure is something I'd love to know. lol

It's taking me a lot longer to get through this book than I thought it would. But I'm in my I have no attention span to read phase right not. I started The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult about a month ago and haven't gotten past chapter one. No idea what's wrong with me!

I just read all your comments about Amazon, will try it one of these days, hopefullt before the year ends. Hope there wont be any problem with shipping address. I heard there are sites that requires a billing address in the states, but I'm sure Amazon is not one of those.

 I loved the book. But it was way more repetitive than I thought it would be plus I thought that he would put more family/friends stories but it was a good book none the less

It was very repetitive!  I wish it had been more of a memoir and less of a self-help book, too.  My favorite parts were when he told personal stories.  I tweeted the other day, I'm finding it handy to have a book actually written by one of them to go back and look up stuff in when I'm writing fanfic, especially when I'm like, "Did that really happen, or was that just in another fanfic?"  Sometimes those lines blur! LOL
