Lead Like Ike: Ten Business Strategies from the CEO of D-Day By Geoff Loftus


I never read a book on management skills and definitely not the that focus on imparting managing skills tuitions.But, this first timer just blowed me out. An amazing book from Geoff Loftus, this is a definite-read for anyone.
Double so if you are anyone who is aspiring that cabin of your office where plate reads C.E.O.
Geoff imparts some valuable lessons on how to lead efficiently and honestly. How to lead like Ike.We have known Dwight D. Isenhower as the war hero and US president, but it is quite surprising and yet a pleasant surprise to know him as one of best CEO ever.And you have so much to learn from him.
The structure of book, division of chapters on chronic sequences of WW-II makes it all even more exciting.Add to that, the details that you never knew about and personalities that you knew before, just by names. Its an enriching text, theoretically and factually.
A great book to have for anyone. I learnt a lot from it, I am sure you will too.
Hundred percent recommended.

The Secret of Indigo Moon by G. P. Taylor


Highly intriguing plot, gripping storyline and compelling graphics. What else do you need from a fantasy fiction book? G.P. Taylor tells yet another interesting tale through words and pictures. Story begins from where the book-one of The Dopple Ganger Chronicles series ends. Just this time, it’s even more captivating.

Erik Ganger and Dopple twins, Sadie and Saskia face even dangerous adversaries and tone is set for another thrilling adventure. As the twisting and turning plot spans through the factious town of Hampstead, mystery deepens with each turning page.Old villains are back, new dangers and new challenges awaiting our heroes, this book is entertaining to its core.

Another interesting feature about this book is amazing graphics on almost every page along with certain parts in form of comics. The whole concept makes the reading more interesting. So, this book is a must for our “reluctant readers”, to make them realize the wonders of reading.Highly praised by parents and teacher alike, this would make a wonderful gift to our young readers.Nevertheless, this one is for everyone from the age of twelve to sixty.

G.P. Taylor surely is one of the finest fantasy authors of our times and the remark at the back cover is surely not overstated when it read Mr Taylor as “The new C.S. Lewis.”

Two thumbs up for Mr. Taylor and DG Chronicles. Eagerly waiting for third installment.
