Clear and Easy to Understand.......2007-06-05
I have been studying bible prophecy for years and have read most books on the subject including many of Mark Hitchcocks, but this one is clearly the most easy to understand for the layman. He has questions people always ask him about various end time questions and he answers them simply, including backup scriptures.
Very well done........2007-01-09
The book is easy to read - not too advanced. It is well-supported with Scripture and points out the importance of understanding prophecy.
A pretty amazing book!!!!!!!.......2005-10-27
The complete Book Of bible Prophecy is a pretty amazing book. For one its only slightly over 200 pages long and yet its filled with information about bible prophecy. Its very coherent and its easy to read; its very scholarly and Lays out Bible prophecy very clearly for the end times. The Book is laid out in outline form which makes it easy to follow and also makes it a good reference for farther more indept study. Hitchhcock explains the different views on Millennialism and on the rapture; He shows us when a prophet is a prophet; He gives us ten key reason why prophecy is important; And six things knowing prophecy can do for us; He lists ten key events in Bible Prophecy; And ten key places; He gives us mini commentaries on the three key Prophetic passages in the Bible- Daniel; Jesus' Prophetic discourse in Matthew 24; and The Book Of the revelation of Jesus Christ; And Hitchcock answer's fifty key questions on Bible prophecy, to close the book. This is a must read and reference for any and everyone interested in Bible prophecy. And I would also recommend this as a gift for everyone, if could be a good witnessing tool as people can follow the prophecies, as they unfold in front of our own eyes.
Very well written..........2002-05-31
Mark did a GR8 job thowing so much, 'End-times' info in a single user-friendly little book. Note, this book is for peaple who all-ready understand a little bit about The book of Revelation. I would not recomend this for the very new-believer. Mark is truly a blessed man whose written some other blessed books as well.
Excellent overview of pre-mill/pre-trib/dispensationalism.......2002-05-07
Mark Hitchcock has compiled an excellent primer on end-times prophecy as it relates to the pre-millenialist/pre-tribulation rapture camp. This is essentially a well organized compilation of a popular church perspective on end-times events advocated by many, including the popular Hal Lindsey (Late Great Planet Earth) and Tim Lahaye (Left Behind series). On the back cover, the author's information has him pursuing a doctoral degree from Dallas Theological Seminary so it stands to reason that this book is dispensational. Most of the scripture references are from the New Living Translation, a bit odd but then again the publisher of the book is Tyndale, which publishes the NLT as well.
The book is a very clear and well organized and will teach you prophecy from their viewpoint. While the book claims to be 'complete' it really only gives you very, very short explanations of the other viewpoints. Nonetheless, there is a wealth of information included on other subjects that most other books on prophecy omit. I especially appreciate that fact that the author treats other viewpoints of prophecy graciously and doesn't ridicule them. There are many excellent charts, outlines, and lists included in the book that makes this an excellent reference source. There is a question and answer section at the end of the book that is particularly useful. The typesetting and layout are modern and very well done.
I was hoping that this book would deal with 2 Thess. 2:1-4 and the timing of the rapture but the author has avoided it as many in the pre-trib camp do. While these verses and the chapter in general are referenced about eight times throughout the book, it is always in reference to other events described within (restrainer, power & signs, antichrist seated in temple, day of the Lord, etc). There is no integration of this set of verses as they concern timing with the pre-trib doctrine, probably since this is a problem verse that just doesn't work with pre-trib doctrine. For an excellent treatment on this subject for comparitive study get Robert Van Kampen's book "The Rapture Question Answered." Van Kampen's book is an argument against pre-trib so be prepared for a more confrontational tone; but it is a must read if you want to be exposed to other equally valid viewpoints on the rapture.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject but make sure your studies are balanced with books on other viewpoints (preterist, pre-wrath, amillenialism) and make up your own mind about what the scriptures really do say. Too often, authors of books include information that make their case but leave out facts that will weaken (sometimes considerably) their position. By studying as many viewpoints as possible, you'll get a larger set of facts in which to base your opinion on. Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's correct. There are many learned and Godly people with differing viewpoints so don't hang your hopes on just one set of theories, no matter how persuasive or popular they might be.

The Complete Films of Alfred Hitchcock.......2006-06-29
This is a perfectly respectable entry in the Citadel Press "Complete Films of..." series. If you love Hitchcock films (I do) this is a basic bedrock reference element in your film-book collection. It is not "original" and does not contain any spectacular insights (if you want an entertaining Hitchcock analysis, see, e.g.,Camille Paglia on The Birds). However, it does have kind of a nice balance in that the authors acknowledge that The Master can make a mistake once in a while (Torn Curtain? Stage Fright?), unlike some super-reverential, adoring authors who will praise anything The Master does (did). I give this four stars instead of five because it is workmanlike but not brilliant.
A great book for new fans and veterans alike!.......2004-04-17
For any new Hitchcock fan or even a veteran fan for that matter, The Complete Films of Alfred Hitchcock is a must have book that provides much insight to the movies of Alfred Hitchcock.
The book is very organized, set up in chronilogical order, ranging from 1922-1976. It is also divided up into eras; The Early Years, Becoming the Master of Suspense, The Selznick Years, The Technicolor, Vista-Vision and 3-D Years, The Television Interlude, and the Mature Years. Every movie that Alfred Hitchcock made is in this book ranging from his silent era to Family Plot. The information provided on all movies includes the title, year it was released, cast, summary, and behind-the scenes details and pictures (all black and white) from that film (each film averaging 5-6 pages). The Complete Films of Alfred Hitchcock also includes his televisions series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. The book concludes with a list of all awards and honors that were given to Hitchcock for his most creative work, and a list of every cameo appearance he made in his films.
This book does not come from an ameteur film buff. The Complete Films of Alfred Hitchcock is co-authored by Robert A. Harris, one of the two men responsible for restoring Hitchcock's Vertigo and Rear Window to the most prestine condition, so he is very informed about Hitchcock and his films.
Now, if you want more information on Alfred Hitchcock himself such as his life and family, then this should be used as a supplemental, as his biography is very brief in this book. But if you are interested in the art of Hitchcock and want to find out all the movies he made, then this book is for you. This book is easy to read, not overwhelming. It is one that can and will be read over and over again. The illustrations and insight help you to better understand Hitchcock's style and motives throughout his film career.
A great book!.......2000-04-17
Este é um grande livro para os fãs de Hitchcock. Traz todos os filmes realizados pelo diretor, além de muitas fotos e curiosidades sobre os filmes e seriados que o Hitchcock realizou. Vale a pena. Imperdível para que gosta de A.Hitchcock e do genero suspense.

Presumptuous But Good.......2005-08-18
How can any little book presume to be 'complete' when it comes to Alfred Hitchcock?
He practically invented a cinematic language, used his commercial success to at once deflate pretense in others and experiment most boldly with cinematic form, and, in the process, scared the pants off us.
What is complete in this book? Each film is given its own section, which concludes with a "Final Analysis" section. Here's a quick cut from the final "Final Analysis" [Family Plot]:
"Hitch's last project was the most important one he ever undertook, for trying to get this spy story to the screen allowed him to entertain the fantasy that he was both still working and well enough to work, despite evidence to the contrary."
Complete? Even in the last sentence, the authors admit that death cut off what could have been even more from a great twentieth century artist.
Completely Wonderful.......2002-07-16
I see that the other reviewers have pretty much said all there needs to be said about this book and I doubt I will say anything new here. All I want to emphasize it that this is truly THE book to get for a quick, easy, complete understanding of Alfred Hitchcock's movies. I have read other,longer, deeper books on his films which were very good, yet this one is nice when you are new to Hitchcock or just do not have the time to devote to much reading. These authors have a good sense of humor as well, and it always is fun to read a book where you can get a few laughs. They have some good trivia in the book, spotlights on certain Hitchcock actors,a few pages of pictures showing some poster art and movie stills, and they tell you where to find Hitch in the movies where he had cameo appearances. Hitchcock's movies are among my favorites, and this book is among my favorites about them. Get it and read it, you won't be disappointed.
I am impressed :).......2001-12-30
After having read this book from stem to stern I would recommend it to new Hitchcock fans and more experienced fans alike. For the new fan it offers a clear synopsis of each film as well as offering many interesting points to look for. For the more experienced it makes for a convenient "turn to" source so as to better avoid the mountains of heavy, sometimes overly self satisfied observations that many resources tend to become, thereby saving wading through chapter upon chapter in order to reach simple facts.
I must respect the authors for their understanding that an enjoyment of film does not require a degree. I always commend a person for having the ability to transfer complicated observations in the simplest of English without the use of parables and without patronizing tones. Paul Condon and Jim Sangster have managed just that and not without the occasional bit of side splitting humour. Even if you are not watching the films in question it is more than a worthy read. That said, it may help to be familiar with some English terms such as "send up" as the average American does not know what it means to send something up so may be left wondering.
However, with the authors sardonic senses of humour being clear I would have liked to have seen further elaboration of the "goofs" section. There are so many Hitchcock bloopers worthy of a mention. I am certain it was a deliberate omission (perhaps for the next book) but nonetheless I was left wishing that they had made note of the obvious ones if only to give the new viewer that added bit of fun and sport.
Despite taking umbrage at the use of the phrase "just a smathering of dull brunettes" ahum, I would gladly purchase any other offerings from either or both authors and very much look forward to a second volume of "Complete Hitchcock," contradiction that it may be. Hopefully with an eye to the slip ups and perhaps more production details (locations, circumstances, first hand anecdotes, etc.) If that isn't a hint to get writing I don't know what is : )
In short I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would not only recommend it but have already bought several other copies for friends and family. Enjoy.
Complete in every way.......2001-11-20
As a novice Hitchcock fan, I find this book extremely informative. It gives a good summary of all of Hitchcock's movies as well as a good analysis of the films. It also includes where Hitchcock can be spotted in the movies and little tidbits on the actors and actresses who were casted in his movies as well as behind the scenes information. I would recommend this book for those who are starting to discover Hitchcock.
A great place to start.......2000-04-21
I bought this book sight-unseen, knowing absolutely nothing about it (which is why I'm now writing this review; maybe you'll be more willing to try it once you know what it has to offer). It's a thorough, well-nigh encyclopedic look at Hitch's work, with a brief chapter (averaging about 4 pages) on each major film. The chapters include complete cast and credits --including "uncredited cast" -- plus a synopsis, and sundry comments on each film under such headings as "cruelty to
animals," "mysogyny," "ice maidens," "roots," and a "final word" with a critical appraisal including a rating on a scale of 1-10. While examination of each film is necessarily brief, it's quite thorough and absolutely chock-full of cool trivia. Every now and then there are sidebars on stars with whom Hitch worked; there's also an amazing appendix listing every single episode from Hitch's TV shows (not just the ones he directed -- but ALL OF EM). Only negatives: could use an INDEX, plus I noticed several careless spelling errors (actors' names and so forth) of the type that tend to make one a bit suspicious. On the whole, however, this is THE place to start for the Hitchcock novice, and a real treasure trove for the seasoned fan like me. Highly recommended.

Book Description
An examination of a crucial issue in processing music by computer and in other abstract and formal approaches to music. The relations of time specified in musical scores and found in bodies of musical performances have a complex and sometimes indeterminate structure, and even the nature of musical time can be in question. Complicating factors such as partially determined ordering of events are found not only in music of the 20th century, when composers explicitly employed such indeterminacy, but also in music where the indeterminacy is only implicit in the interpretation of the notation.;This work analyzes in detail the essential issues of the nature of musical time, possible formulations of musical temporal relations, taking account of indeterminacy, and systems for the measurement of musical time. Representations are classified according to their expressive power and computational complexity. Existing systems of musical representation are related to these formulations, and some generic representations of music are proposed and analyzed. The most expressively powerful representations are shown to be computationally intractable, while those of least computational complexity are shown to be incapable of representing some types of music. A perfect system of representation is therefore impossible, and different representations are appropriate for different purposes.

Book Description
One of America's most well-respected professors of education looks at the good that can come from playing video games-even violent ones. James Paul Gee is interested in the cognitive development that can occur when someone is trying to escape a maze, find a hidden treasure and, even, blast away an enemy with a high-powered rifle. Talking about his own video-gaming experience learning and using games as diverse as Lara Croft and Arcanum, Gee looks at major specific cognitive activities, from how individuals develop a sense of identity, to how one grasps meaning, picks a role model, or perceives the world. This is a ground-breaking book that takes up a new electronic method of education and shows the positive application it has for learning.

Makes me regret not playing more video games.......2007-04-16
I'd always sort of believed the "video games are a waste of time" thing just because I'd heard it so much. This book is good but I couldn't understand all the technical stuff but I think I got the just of it. I actually had to write a persuasive essay on the HSPA (High School Profficiancy Assessment) agreeing or disagreeing with the hypothetical decision of some kind of governmental authority (I forget which one, congress maybe?) to ban all noneducational video games. I'd read the first few pages of the book and it helped. Now I regret ever believing that waste of time stuff.
Good for research, not so much for general reading........2007-01-16
First of all, this book is not written as a general public book, it is written much more in the vein of a college graduate's analysis. Heavy discussion of the effects of video games on the semiotic domain underpin the analysis. That being said, this book is a good analysis of the effects of video games on those that play them.
If you want a general public analysis of the effects of entertainment (and video games) on people, check out Steven Johnson's "Everything Bad is Good For You." This book is a deeper analysis of part of Steven Johnson's book, so it might be best as a follow-up purchase.
My biggest complaint about James Paul Gee's book is more with the copy editor and publisher. There are so many poorly written or incorrectly written sentences that should have been caught and corrected. It really affects the perceptions about the book's research.
Provocative and balanced.......2007-01-10
Great book and delightful read. If you are a teacher or work in education to help direct new initiatives with technology and learning, you should read this.
Too long, too wordy, not worth the effort.......2006-12-16
Not sure why the author who does make some good points, couldn't find a way to express those without trying to sound important. The writing style got between his message (which was interesting) and his delivery. I finished it, got some value, but in comparison to other authors, this was a letdown.
Insightful discussion of a complex social text.......2006-09-18
James Paul Gee, a pre-eminant researcher into video games and their relationship to education and learning, offers a clear and insightful discussion as to the educational potential of video games. His opening statement that he will even look for the positives in violent video games, lays the groundwork for his enthusiastic praise of these textual forms. His discussion of identity, community and the social nature of knowledge, opens up a wide variety of connections with other theories and approaches that see learning and literacy as intimately linked to human social experience. The nature of video games as cultural texts is what enables them to be such rich resources for learning. Drawn from his own experiences and those of many young people, this critical engagement with the debates surrounding video games, is essential reading for anyone reading or researching in areas of educational innovation.

The first plain-English introduction to foreign currency exchange trading--one of today's hottest profit opportunities
The foreign currency market is the largest financial market in the world, and foreign exchange trading is quickly becoming one of today's most high-profile, potentially lucrative markets. One problem is that books on the topic are complex, technically dense, and difficult for Forex novices to grasp.
FOREX Made Easy is the first book to approach the topic in a detailed yet accessible style, gradually and deliberately moving from simple to complex in easy and natural language. Author James Dicks--founder of the popular trading software 4X Made Easy--draws upon his trading knowledge to give readers only the information they need, from setting up a workstation to trading electronically.
This Forex guidebook provides traders with:
- An easy-to-follow, six-step process for FOREX trading
- Methods for gaining an advantage using technical analysis
- Dozens of examples to illustrate key points

skip this book.......2007-02-04
There is essentially no topic in this book presented with enough quality information to allow the reader to make any consistent profit from FOREX trading. If you picked the book up in a bookstore and wrote a list of the topics on a piece of paper, you would have a place to start your search. In other words, don't waste your money. The only reason I did not "hate the book" is because the information is essentially accurate. But trading FOREX successfully (actually any successful trading) is difficult. In this market you are trading with or against enormously deep pockets who know more than you.
If you want some alternative ideas, consider these three:
1. Currency Trading; Philip Gotthelf; Wiley; 2003
2. Day Trading the Currency Market; Kathy Lien; Wiley; 2006
3. Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom-second edition; Van K Tharp; McGraw-Hill; 2007.
Good for starting a software business.......2006-09-24
It is because I am an entrepreneur and a capitalist that I got into Forex trading. Therefore I must admire and respect those who achieve monumental success such as James Dicks. And I actually enjoy reading a book or e-book that is a good sales letter for another product. People who resent such things would do well to go through T.Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind training and other such wealth consciousness training. However, I think most people in the Forex world now realize that Forex Made Easy is a software that produces green arrows for a buy signal and red arrows for a sell signal. The programming behind the software, I am told, is based on a simple signal that is taught in at least a similar form in many introductory trading courses. Following the signal requires users to remain ignorant of all the other factors that could eliminate most of the losses. Many people who started out with Forex Made Easy have told me that they did not start learning to trade until they went on to other sources of training. I believe that Forex Made Easy may not have ever had their customer's best interest nor their success as a motivating factor when creating the company. They have made a huge amount of money with late night TV commercials and high pressure "free introductory seminars".
And now that their reputation is well known to be less than honorable the company has reincarnated as Premiere Trading with a new round of late night TV commercials. I am not saying that Premiere Trading is connected with Forex Made Easy. But apparently James Dicks is the leader of both companies. Of course, there is nothing wrong with advertising on late night TV. I am just a little concerned about the integrity of these organizations. The real profit in this industry is in finding a continuous stream of new customers and connecting them with an Introducing Broker and watching them lose their accounts in the first 6 months. Consequently, it is hard to find sources of help in the Forex world that are committed to the long term success of their clients. The industry is driven by the unregulated Forex brokers and most of the training and information that is available is geared toward what makes the most money for the brokers.
Good Book.......2006-07-27
I have never written a review before and might not have this time but I felt that I just had to make a statement. I hope that any person with even the slightest understanding of human nature can read between the lines of each of these reveiws.
It seems to be a battle of the author's product owners against the competitor's product owners. While there may be others sprinkled in it is obvious that this review section began as an attack on the author by those from his former company and then it starting going back and forth (although some are ok and are much more mature in their comments). The reviews don't seem to be really geared toward the subject at hand - a reveiw of the book and not one that is based on the dislike that the author left one company to make a better one. These types of reviews shouldn't even be allowed to be posted. As is happening with this post, the subject shouldn't be anything but an honest review of the book and not an emotional attack against a person going out and doing better.
I read this book after a family member purchased it and started trading. It was a nice introduction and isn't portrayed anywhere in between it's covers as being anything else. It has information to expose you to the forex market since so many are not familar with it. Much more detail and specifics are learned through forex sites, brokers etc etc but it was a good book for one interested in learning about what it is and it touches on the ways that it can be done.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well and there will always be those that "don't get it" and those that "don't want to get it" and those that "don't want other's to get it" so don't let the reviews here keep you from reading this book or taking control of your destiny.
My family has had products from both companies mentioned in these reviews and while they both work (if you work) the author's company, product, customer service, pricing and availibility are far better.
No book, system, software or package of any kind for any subject will meet the expectations or the needs of all the people all the time but if you read, study, practice, listen, and expose yourself with time, patience, persistence and positive thoughts then you will get something out of it. My entire family will be retired within the next 2 or so years as long as the written plan and goals continue on track. Thank you Mr Dicks.
Fact from Fiction.......2006-07-27
First let me preface my biased opinion that follows
Fact I own and have read the book
Fact I dramatically increased my knowledge of market technicals after reading this book
Fact Technical indicators were scary to understand and use prior to reading this book
Fact After reading this book I bought Steven Nison A Candlestick Course
Fact After reading this book I bought John Bollinger on Bollinger Bands
Fact I would not know about either of these authors and their WORLD RENOWN work if it were not for James Dicks.
Fact I own Premiere Trade AI-Pro
Fact Though it took about a month to unlearn another major companies more expensive less accurate but Profitable SW (i owned for 18 months before purchasing PT-AI because I needed an Options analysis platform
Fact not only did I get an options analysis platform for the same price as my former platform company wanted to charge me, but I go t the stock analysis for free i got mutual fund analysis for free I got FOREX analysis for free. I got better diagramming scaling etc than I had from e-signal All this for the same low cost of one application of any other trade analysis company
Fact in the long run PremiereTrade cost about 1/4 the cost of any other platform
Fact My stock portfolio immediately became more successful rather than depending on red and green lights and moving averages.
Fact For the last 4 months I have immersed my self in the details that this book brings to the user. As some of these reviews indicate, there is little detail about the FOREX market place written between the covers beyond what is necessary to know.
1) Forex trades >$4 trillion a day
2) there are no market makers to screw you
3) It is a place that offers great wealth potential
4) It is risky with out proper money management and risk reward ratio (other vendors do not talk about this much)
5) The trader must do his or her own do diligence to make sure the trade they put on is a high probability trade through money and risk reward management
What these awesomely bad reviews don't tell the reader is this book does introduce the trader to all these aspects of forex trading. It introduces the reader to candlesticks diagrams bull and bearish formation technical indicators and analysis. If the newbie ever wanted a laymens introductory capture of all aspects a good trader needs for any market place this is the book for them.
The point of the title is that whilst most day, swing and position traders dawdle to find a few out of 40000 securities, a student of forex need only concentrate on the 6 major currency pairs. learn those 6 and become profitable.
This book is a must for the unknowing.
My suggestion is not to buy this book but get it free when you purchase the SW.
You will be buying into a family of traders who came from the platforms that these bad reviews were written by. You will learn that all you need to do in FOREX is make a simple 80 PIPs a week day in and day out, and I can show anyone with that software how to do that using the software.
People that are unsuccessful will likely be those that either have not understood what a trading plan and strategy are and held to it. Or have immediately dove in and tried to use the software and lost their shirts.
FACT: It has taken me 4 months to gain the confidence to stop paper trading and go live 8/1/2006. It took that long to settle into one trading plan through understanding and using the SW.
I will do a follow up post to this in one month to put dollars against this post but in the last three days for the second week in a row I have posted over 100 PIP single lot gains. Doing that week in and week out for a year can make someone a millionaire.
FACT: You will find that James Dicks is an awesome American and philanthropist, he has no need to gouge his customers for additional costs. His company listens to the customer and implements meaningful suggestions within weeks.
The training material available for FREE go so far beyond other product offerings it is hard to explain one must experience. The PT trading community is made up of successful traders who Pay it Forward with their expertise strategies plans and analysis.
FACT: If someone buys this book or the application SW and thinks that the day after reading or opening the box they will be successful. Or more to the point can prove they read any other book or used any other SW application and immediately was profitable over a 3 month period, I want to know what that author and sw is so I can buy it.
FACT: I already did but it took me time to understand the SW not overnight.
It has taken me three to four months to marginally comprehend the dynamics and complexities of FOREX trading. I am now ready to put James Dicks principle to the test. I know I am not going to loose $12000.00 that I did with another red and green light moving average sw, before I became profitable.
If the reader of my review walks away with anything no matter what you choose.
YOU CAN ONLY GET OUT OF _SOMETHING_ WHAT YOU INVEST OF YOURSELF IN THAT _SOMETHING_.
Anyone who does not paper trade a trading plan to Risk Reward Ratio perfection should not be trading any market. THEY WILL LOOSE. Anyone that honestly and prudently applies James Dicks principles will be successful.
You don't have to be WIZE to be profitable
you do owe yourself DUE DILIGENCE to be profitable
This is why no trading SW can guarantee anyone success. You are the only one that can be successful. You owe it to yourself to get the best tools for yourself.
If anyone has had the problems with premiertrade that some of these posts have alluded to Call James up directly. For a multi millionaire he is quite accessible. My impression is that if you have integrity, he will make you happy. He is that kind of man, again, A Great American, and the man that is going to allow me to be the philanthropist I dream to be.
This is a great book. Investigate for yourself........2006-07-27
I received "Forex Made Easy" with my purchase of Premiere Trade AI. This is an excellant book that will introduce you to the foreign exchange market. It is not an in depth discussion of technical analysis, nor is it the only book you will ever have to read. However, this is a great place to begin if you have no trading experience.
This book is not a 'sales pitch' for Premiere Trade, as stated in other reviews. Premiere Trade is discussed in one section of the book explaing how to use the trading desk, and that is about the extent of it. James Dicks is on a mission to educate and offer the opportunity of trading and investing to all demographics of people, not just the wealthy. If it is a crime to be on such a mission and to promote your own products and services, then James is guilty. But there are very few individuals or companies today that put the consumer first.
My experiece with Premiere Trade has been nothing but positive. I am extremely impressed with the instructors and customer service. You can find charting and reading materials from other companies, but you will not find ten plus hours of instruction and guidance via live video and audio. If you apply yourself at Premiere Trade, you will cut the learning curve down dramatically and have on going support. If you did not succeed with Premiere Trade, then it is your own fault. There are instructors that will get on the phone with you if you are struggling.
So, investigate for yourself and make up your own mind.
