The Fix Guide: Implementing the FIX Protocol
$20.99
When this book first came out I thought it would provide a good introduction to FIX and how to implement it; so I bought a copy. I was thoroughly disappointed. While waiting for the book to arrive I had spent a few days browsing through the FIXprotocol.org website and I had already learned more about FIX than what this book had to offer.

As other reviewers have said, if you are a high level manager who doesn't know FIX and wants to know what the fuss is all about, you might be able to gain something from this book. However if you are a developer/implementor or a FIX certification specialist, this book will provide very little value to you.

The Fix: Soccer and Organized Crime
$28.95
"The Fix" is an exceptional reading that opens your eyes to reality of any professional sport in any country in the World. The book is well organized, very easy to read, extremely insightful, and keeps you interested cover to cover. The author provides significant proof and detailed description of how match fixing is done, how people (players, referees, officials, gamblers...) are involved and certain results are achieved. The book is a real eye opener for those who believe that soccer is "pure and clean" sport without outside influence. Sadly enough FIFA, knowing that the problem of match fixing exists, does not apply any actions toward investigating the exisitng and even growing threat in sport corruption. It's very simple - too much money involved; TV contracts; sponsors; stadium tickets.... And this books shows it all! "The Fix" is a must read for any fan of Beautiful Game or a fan of any professional sport, since the concepts are the same. Yes, it's possible that you will not look at the sport the same way as before, and that you might be sceptical about some matches and team performances. I am. Bit, I still love soccer. And i still love watching it! The book opened my eyes on the sports corruption since i had no idea it was on a such a huge scale. Most of us know that these problems exist in South America and that some World Cup matches were fixed and certain teams were "guided" to the play-offs and even Finals, but the problems in Asia and Europe were new to me. I strongly recommend this book to all sports fans - read it, you'll be shocked by revelations!

Erin O'Brien's Prenatal Fitness Fix
$14.99
I rarely review items, but after having finished this video for the hundredth time during my pregnancy, I decided to leave a very positive feedback. Erin is amazing. She may seem intimidating, super-woman-like, when you watch her doing her routine for the first time. I personally thought she was crazy and wondered what her baby looked like when she delivered. But when I actually did the video, I was pleasantly surprised that she gave me just the right amount of exercise and energy I needed. I've been doing this routine since the first trimester. I'm 30 weeks along and not going to stop. I feel great and in a good shape. Don't be scared by the negative reviews.
