Steve Amoia, Writer, Book Reviewer and Translator: Book Reviews

I have had the pleasure to review a variety of books in different genres. I began doing reviews at Amazon.com in 2000, and then ventured into other projects. I have also written several product reviews of soccer merchandise. Those reviews are located on my writing portfolio page.

You are a fast reader! Thanks for the insightful and fair review. My previous book (Socialnomics) has 135 reviews and I can honestly say this is one of the most helpful I have received!

Take pleasure in knowing you were the first of hopefully many to review! Great insight on the introduction - great feedback.

I'm glad you like the quotes and the research.

Best, Erik."
