 Tested out of 2 Math College classes with this book December 15, 2009

I am a 38-year old mother of 5 who recently decided to go back to school. I took my placement test and tested into the lowest class available which was Basic Math. I was told that I could retake the test so I went to the library and checked out a bunch of math books to study and get prepared. I found Danica's book "Math Doesn't Suck" I read it first and read the entire book in one night. I loved it and everything began to make sense. I studied it for 2 weeks then went back and took my test again and tested into Intro to Algebra! I essentially skipped Basic Math and Pre-Algebra! This achievement has brought me renewed confidence in myself at a time when I need it most! It has saved me money and time that is so valuable to me. I live in Southern Ohio and am attending Hocking College! I am excited to read "Kiss my Math". Also I was told that she is writing a 3rd book in an email from her company. Thanks for writing a book that actually makes sense!
Excellent! December 15, 2009

I absolutely love this book. It has been an amazing tool to use when I am tutoring my middle school students in math. Danica McKellar did a superb job in this book. It surprised me to see some of my own tactics in the book. I can honestly say that I read this book in a matter of a couple of days and am reading it again and taking notes down.
By the way, I bought this book because a student had recommended it to me.

Danica McKellar is for me, one of the true heroines in the modern world. She obtained her degree in mathematics, and for that I respect her.
She is a tireless advocate who encourages girls to excel in mathematics, and there is no reason why they should not. This book is an excellent guide for students who get discouraged by incompetent math instruction or boring and badly authored math textbooks. (I've seen my share of those.)
Without question, this is a five star book.

 Hey . . . Math IS fun!! November 3, 2009

I was a Film major/English minor who spent the first 35 years of her life avoiding any and all mathematical functions. In recent years, I became the accountant-by-default at the small visual effects company. It was my love of Excel (which feels like a video game to me) not my understanding of math that made the career shift possible.
When I encountered Danica's book, I realized this was my chance to "go back in time" and redevelop my relationship with numbers. In the last couple of days, I've gotten through more than half of this book. It's like a collection of puzzles with fun to read narratives leading the way. I love a good puzzle!
I'm looking forward to continuing with this series . . . It's never too late to cultivate confidence; thanks, Danica!
Math Doesn't Suck.... October 25, 2009

I am 67 and for the first time in my "math life" I understand prime numbers and how to easily determine them! That alone is worth the price of the book and I look forward to learning more.
AND I am a man!
This book in cutely titled, but does it seem a bit sexist in today's PC culture? Tee Hee.
Boys will love this book. Infinitely...primarily...
