Summary: The Unexamined Life
Review: This book is so awesomely unappealling I had to read it for myself--who would like to be like Richard Hatch, even with the million dollars and the lost hundred pounds? He seems to have learned nothing at all from his experiences on the TV show except to congratulate himself more and to think other people would want to be like him.Gretchen Cordy, on the other hand, lost the show's game, but had she written a book like this it would've been a best-seller because she was so universally loved last summer.

Summary: Interesting and worth the price
Review: This book is well worth the price. I was amazed at all the information crammed in between the pages. I simply couldn't put it down. The 101 secrets was worth it. For instance, he gives worthwhile and sound tips to get ahead in today's world. These tips are ones we ALL can do, even without getting NASTY like Hatch did in Survivor. Besides the secrets and tips, it has a section of Hatch's autobiography and his recollections of Survivor. Get this book. You will be glad you did.

Summary: It's more like an essay than a book
Review: This book seems like it was written in a week. It will be interesting for fans of Rich, but really sheds no new light.

Summary: Fun Book with a Message
Review: This is an easy read with some straightforward ideas about how to make one's life happier and more fulfilled. Fans of the CBS Survivor series are likely to appreciate the book the most, but sensible advice is just that, even if you don't know Rich Hatch. It is not especially deep if you are an avid reader of self-improvement books, but it has some interesting ideas. The beauty of it is that Mr.Hatch does not try to force a philosophy on anybody. He is just speaking from his heart about his own formula for success in regard to his own life. I would recommend it for Survivor fans or for anyone who needs a lift and some candid advice about life.

Summary: pleasant surprise
Review: To tell you the truth, I never watched Survivor so reading this book was just a curiousity since I had seen and heard so much about Hatch and the show. I was really pleasantly surprised to find out that this guy has a lot to say that was valuable to me. He wants to get the most out of life and wants us to embrace challenges in everything we do. It may sound silly at first, but like I say the book moved me and inspired me. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to accept the challenges of being human and wants more out of life.

Summary: Quintessential Richard
Review: Whether you rooted for Richard, or wished he'd get voted off the island, we all found this SURVIVOR contestant one of the most fascinating personalities on the show. This slim book manages to convey just what made him so compelling. Sure, he is cocky, but why not? He is, after all, a winner. And his advice is good, common-sense wisdom. After I put the book down, I felt ready to take a risk or two myself.

Summary: self promoting
Review: While some may find the ideas in this book fresh or helpful, I found the book to be full of self promotion. It's title should be changed to "Me, ME & Me." Don't waste your money.

Summary: 101 Survival Secrets
Review: Wow! I'm torn between wanting to keep this "advice" secret, and wanting to encourage others to share it with me! Guess I've chosen the later--why not, the competition can be fun, if pursued in the spirit Hatch advises. The book fully lives up to its title--it is full of Hatch'es distinctive brand of practical advice about how to survive the rat-race, and come out of it smelling like a rose. I highly recommend this book to anyone tired of waiting around for a break in life, ready to get serious about realizing their potential. Hatch, the man the nation loved to hate during the season of SURVIVOR, proves to be an engaging narrator whose advice is clear and effective and witty. Buy it! Study it!
