    <body><![CDATA[This is the most famous of Berne's books. Actually, I prefer <em>What do you say after Hello?</em> But it is interesting and persuasive. Its title made Berne famous.  Berne is, I fear, looked upon by the snooty as a lightweight.  This is an error. He has a penetrating vision, but he made the mistake of being...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46359517">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Thematically, the book is useful.  However, I found the views very dated and somewhat pessimistic.  I think there are other authors out there that have defined these issues better and can relate them in a more positive manner.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Like a lot of books that defined boundaries of new fields decades ago, this book is most fun for people who haven't encountered transactional analysis before.  There is a certain style of academic writing that is both dense and florid while trying to be witty.  It's how academics prove they are cool...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53753702">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was first published in 1964, when, I am pleased to say, I was but a child.  However, I do remember hearing about it (probably due to a song that came out later based loosely on it).  There are some things that are still relevant, but the language used is dated.  The vernacular in the U.S. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66313099">more...</a>]]></body>
