- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This is the biggest pile of simplistic, pseudo-scientific psycho-babble I’ve had the misfortune to read. Poorly constructed narrative, ill-researched references. Surely this is a parody? It had me in hysterics, which I l’m certain isn’t the intention. Maybe I should never have attempted to catch the bus in the first place? “Feed the positive dog”, “chief energy officer”, and “god positioning systems” will live long in the memory, but maybe not for the right reasons. Dross.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The way that this book was written was amazing! The story being told from a second person to first person perspective added so much to it. It changed my perspective on negative energy and gave me a whole new look on the way that I approach positive energy. It is definitely a book that I would recommend to anybody!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story of George was cute.The message is: Be Positive.What bugged me is everything - the book, the links; uses a picture of a school bus. An adult with car problems doesn't take a school bus. He takes a City or Metro bus, not a yellow school bus.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The message is a good one in this short book, but it is a real shame that the editing (or lack thereof) is such a distraction. Wiley Publishing should be ashamed of themselves for the horrendous job they did... there's no excuse for the lack of commas (several passages could be used in the next "Eats Shoots and Leaves" edition) and very blatant errors throughout.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Upbeat allegory through the story of a failing manager who happens upon an energetic bus driver and her team of passengers, which transforms his mindset. I heard nothing new here, but the telling is novel. It's a worthy and catchy reminder about adding positive energy to the mix, and leveraging it for success.
