Beginner's Book.......2000-04-01
This is an excellent book for beginner's. It's very easy to understand and there is no dry reading. It helps you understand how mutual funds work and helps you decide what type of funds are best fitted for your individual goals. If you already have an extended knowledge of mutual funds this book may be a little boring.
The book is readable and easy to understand........1999-02-17
Clueless about mutual funds is a readable book for beginning interest in money management. This book starts with easy explainations on money talk. I have enjoyed reading it, and thats why I ordered it. My only critism is that it gets tougher to understand as you continue to read it.

Hard to follow.......1999-02-16
I believe it contained information that nobody but the people in those companies such aas MedPartners. I only read the book because I know of the author and am related to someone that worked for MedPartners who had the book. For the author, time will tell if he took the opportunity and apparently a lot of money to start his new company to believe him.

It's not just a great list of creative exercises (although there are many of those contained within the pages!) but it's more a manual of how to make your entire way of life more creative -- how to assemble creative teams, how to make your conversations more creative, -- it's an entire shift in the way you currently think -- a Thunderbolt Thinking Model.

Book Description
Come along for the ride as the less-than-intrepid, insecure author Francis “Frank” J. Connelly picks up where By Reason of Childhood left off—walking down life's highway, represented by Cortelyou Road in Brooklyn, New York.
Beyond by Reason of Childhood begins with Connelly en route to the U.S. Army induction center on Whitehall Street. From there, it's merely a series of hops, skips, and jumps to Fort Dix, New Jersey, for basic training; Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, for Morse Code Intercept Operator training; and on to the mountains, valleys, and rice paddies of South Korea. Fourteen months later, after an honorable discharge from the military, Frank meets Anne Marie Fleming. The couple marry, and, as time slips away, they find themselves being compared to a five-and-dime (for their five children and ten grandchildren).
Along the way, Connelly works at various jobs: hauling cable for Western Electric, growing hair for Wybrandt Hair and Scalp Specialists, and spending twenty years on the New York Police Department. Near the end of his career in law enforcement, mental and physical difficulties and the debilitating effects of hypoglycemia take their toll on Connelly. Will his story have a happy ending?

A Life Continued.......2006-03-02
Most new writers usually suffer a sophomore slump: somehow their sequels never hold up to the success of the first book. This is not the case with Francis Connelly's "Beyond By Reason of Childhood". This continuation of his autobiography takes us from Mr. Connelly's boyhood in Brooklyn to his manhood.
Like the original, this follow-up is filled with the colorful characters that one can only find on the streets of New York City. More precisely, the people Mr. Connelly came in contact with during his many years in the New York Police Department border incredibility. (Then again, only policemen come across the most bizarre of human beings.) As a balance to this, however, are his intimate relations with his friends, and, especially his wife and five children. Special candor is displayed by Mr. Connelly when he describes his bouts with nicotine and alcohol dependencies, and his health problems--specifically, hypoglycemia.
The book also covers a wide-range of subjects: know-nothing "connect the dots" judges, army life, 9/11, etc. And Mr. Connelly's opinions are never disguised. His views on life are often poignant, but the way expresses them are so perfect. My favorite appears near the end of the book:
"I never forget a kindness, but sometimes it takes me a long time to remember it. Come to think of it though, in a lifetime, how many do we receive, and more importantly, how many do we render?"
Good question.
But, as in the first book, there is a load of irony and humor throughout "Beyond By Reason of Childhood" to temper the seriousness. This is Mr. Connelly's unique gift: to draw out the humor from a seemingly humorless world.

An honesty and humor that's rare.......2004-04-08
Francis Connelly's BY REASON OF CHILDHOOD is a frank remembrance of a youth spent on Brooklyn's sidewalks. While reading it, I was struck by how Mr. Connelly's book was a sort of male version of Betty Smith's A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN. The impossible task of coping with an alcoholic father, the toughing it out in the streets, the quick allies and enemies of childhood, all come together in this open and, often times, funny narrative. Qualities you don't find very frequently these days. The fact is, you have to learn to laugh at life, especially when it tends to frown at you; this is the subtext of BY REASON OF CHILDHOOD. It is a powerfully taught lesson which, to Mr. Connelly's credit, is conveyed to us through this wonderful book.
A touching and real memoir.......2003-02-02
I just finished reading this book, and spent as much time crying as I did laughing. It's basically a really engaging collection of episodes from an Irish youth spent making the most of a situation marked with the sadness of an absent, alcohholic father. I read Angela's Ashes several years ago, but found this memoir to be so much more refreshing because it's so much less "literary" and so much more personable. The voice with which the stories are told is more common than McCourt's (in my opinion almost contrived) loftiness, and the image I most often had in mind was Connelly as my own father, telling random stories from memory as they occurred to him, and as he remembered them. In spite of the hardships he was faced with, this guy was a champ at finding the fun and wonder in the simple things he had before him. I live in Brooklyn today, but Connelly made me wish for some of the Brooklyn of yesterday.
Touching and Inspiring.......2003-02-01
Once you get started reading this book, you won't want to put it down! This is the story of what it was like for a young Irish boy growing up in old time Brooklyn. You'll share in his triumphs and sorrows. The author has a certain charming wit that just about everyone can identify with. If you're a fan of true life stories - you must add ...by Reason of Childhood to your reading list.
A fascinating, funny and touching story.......2003-01-27
This book is a must for fans of memoirs, old-time Brooklyn stories, and stories of the Irish experience in America. I really got sucked into the story. He had a tough life, his father was an alcoholic and never around, his mother had grown up in an orphanage, they had no money-but somehow he was able to have a sense of humor about it all and grow up with a real sense of right and wrong, aware of the joy that's possible in life. Even though his childhood wasn't all roses he could look back on it with affection and new understanding. I highly recommend this book, it was truly inspiring. The way he wrote with such an honest, unaffected voice was so refreshing too.
