Summary: It look good to me
Review: I read Richard Hatch's book as It sound like he tell a truth about himself, weight, etc... as he tell people how to be happy for who they are, not copy from others' to be happy yourself. I am proud of being "one of a kind" guy as I don't need to follow others' footsteps as I have my own style, taste, etc... I hope that Rich send e-mail to thank me for rate him high. I like him with goatee from new CBS tape: "Survivor: season one" as his rare footage of interview.

Summary: More Fluffer from which to Suffer the Puffer
Review: I was anxious to write this self-help/autobiography/shameless self-promotional piece off as an attempt to cash in on the fifteen minutes of fame awarded by the Survivor phenomenon. However, I got to tell you, this book not only contained alterable ideas for everyone but also inspired me to peruse its pages in the buff. Thank you Richard Hatch for liberating so many parts of myself.

Summary: No Inside Info.
Review: I was given this book by a friend who recognizes my passion for Survivor. I applied for both Survivor1 and Survivor2. I plan to apply for any subsequent Survivor shows. I am constantly looking for any insight that would help me improve my chances of being selected in an increasingly competitive process. So when I received this book I started reading, eagerly searching for any little tidbit of information that might help me with the next Survivor application process. However, I was sorely disappointed. The book is a bunch of quasi-psycho babble. A total waste of money for any true Survivor Fan. Also, check out my review of Burnett's first book. I am currently reading the second one and will post a review soon.

Summary: this is Rich's cool book.
Review: It is interesting to me to read it as Rich want people to be theirselves, not copy people's personality to be yourself. I am glad that I am "one of a kind" guy. I argee with Rich's quote: "Diets don't work. They're stupid." as that's true I am dissed off every diet as people who claimed to lost.. they make money off me as I tried it but it's not working! I dumped Richard Simmons as He was in hot water in scandal as his guy who lost lot of weights as he did have operation to remove fats and extra skin from his stomach. Now I rather do my own to lose weight by watching calories, replace foods, etc... I hope that that I like to thank Rich for his work! =)

Summary: It should have gone direct to audio!
Review: Its probably to be expected that someone would publish this book but anyone whos life is changed by the incomplete and un-informed thoughts of some contestant on a TV show deserves a hard-cover edition. And a chance to bid for his set momentos on E-Bay.

Summary: Are you kidding me?
Review: People are giving this book five stars? It looks like it was written in a week, because it WAS written in a week. There is nothing new, nothing insightful or redeeming about it. A big pass.

Summary: Rules don't make sense
Review: The press release for this book started off with a classic non-sequitur: You can't be rich or physically fit unless you're happy, and you can't be happy unless you know yourself. There was not much thought that went into this book. In fairness it was probably written in about 3 weeks as evidenced by the flimsy size. The writing is decent, but content-wise the ghost writer didn't have much to work with.It contains probably more spin than truth. Hatch is probably a much more complex character than the one we see in this book. There is also no real Survivor material. If you can relate to the issues in this man's life you might find it interesting. Even then, it's probably not the unvarnished truth. The rest of us, including most Survivor fans, will be sorely disappointed.

Summary: Rich Hatches a Plot?
Review: This book appears to be step one in Rich's plan to become a millionaire twice over. Don't fall for it; this book is a real waste of money. Some of the 101 "secrets" are good to know, if you don't know them already, such as getting an accountant to help you with your taxes. But many of them are contradictory - for example, Hatch can't seem to decide whether or not we should care what other people think. And some of them are simply not true for most people. Hatch's failure to take any good from his years of university training, for instance, is a poor argument against formal education. Likewise, Hatch's recollections of his experiences on Survivor are only modestly interesting ("modest" not being a word used much in connection with Hatch) and not candid at all. They certainly lack detail: this is not a "tell-all" book. His observations are mostly self-aggrandizing and reveal none of the self-examination that he seems to recommend to his readers. Worse, Hatch's observations about life both on and off the island often don't ring true. It is difficult to believe, for instance, that Hatch really knows even one very unhappy person who has a wall somewhere that is filled with university diplomas. And it is even harder to believe Hatch's claim that public response to him since the show aired has been overwhelmingly positive. Maybe the book's greatest virtue is that it revals a good deal of Hatch's personality quickly. Also, it is extremely short. Overall, this is a disappointingly empty, vapid work.

Summary: A terrific read with a great message!
Review: This book is exactly what it should be! It's quick, and fun, and made me laugh out loud many times(and even mist up once). I sat down and read 101 Survial Secrets in one sitting (and I never even watched Survivor). The 101 secrets themselves are sometimes edgy (in a good way), and full of insightful advice. You really can use them! I can't imagine that there's a Rich Hatch fan out there, or anyone for that matter, who wouldn't enjoy (and learn from) his empowering message: know thyself and the rest will follow. It's got a very good beat; you can dance to it.
