I don't like to write book reviews...but this book was amazing...I had a hard time putting it down. Very well written and I loved the setting! I will look for other books by this author!

All tips and instructions in the book are clearly explained and backed up with intelligent logic of why things should be done a certain way. Before reading this book, I had no idea how wrong my profile was, and now equipped with more knowledge and the benefit of insight, I can now understand why my profile would never work for attracting potential clients.
