Reviews
"I bought this book to help a friend out who has zero background in database to help her understand what a database is before deciding to invest in more expensive/specific books on Oracle, SQL Server or DB2."
"The book is such an excellent introduction to learning the basics of database management, and it's so concise and fun to read that it made a three hour bus ride productive and fun."
"This is a fun introduction to Databases."
"The book is very small, and I see it more as a "proof of concept" than a finished product, and this is very reasonable seen the innovative and original style that might or might be well received..I believe a book about 3 to 4 times its actual size, with a longer "story", more technical sections that are not afraid of going into the deeper o more complex real life scenarios, and a hefty amount of solved exercises could make a truly awesome text that would dominate the intro to database market and revolutionize the way we think about learning technical concepts."
"The answers to the practice exercises are written out in explanation form so as to explain why the answers are the way they are and not just tell you if you're wrong or not."
"Again, this series is very clever at taking a dull or technical topic and making it whimsical and fun."
"This would be excellent for a person in highschool or before who wanted to learn about data basing on their own."

Larry Ellison, Sheer Nerve (Techies)
Profiles the software tycoon and founder of the software company Oracle, describing his devotion to software development and his personal life.
Reviews
"In fact, it is far better than any other book published to date about Mr. Ellison, which range from the tedious ("The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison" by Mike Wilson) to the ridiculous ("The Oracle Edge" by Stuart Read and "ebusiness or Out of Business" by Mark Barrenechea). This book is a masterpiece of simplicity, presenting clearly in 80 brief pages (small pages, large print) everything worth knowing about Larry Ellison. Mr. Ellison, of course, is not a particularly admirable character, which caused me to wonder why anyone would write a children's book about him."
"Good book for our 9 year old."
"This is a children's book about Larry Ellison."

"Alright, this book has a lot of high and low points but I'm going to tell you now: This book is MEANT to make fun of those "inspirational quotes", not to actually BE them. And to parents that want to get this book for your kid, ask yourself this: Are they in High School? I've been suffering with depression for a long time, and I've read this book during my low points to pick me back up (if you can believe that, then keep reading)."
"And I agree with people who think this humor can only be understood by Bros and future Bros (?."
