Can't beat this Carrot with a stick
This book is one of those that you just find it hard to put down. When I recieved my copy it was so good I couldn't stop reading it. You just find yourself nodding your head and smiling as it seems like he has been in your home and mind putting down all your thoughts. There is just so much to relate to inside the pages. A couple of his poems became the catalyst of my own as they are thought provoking. No matter how many times I read the pages, I always find something new. Your Television set will be begging you to watch as this book pulls you in and the T.V gathers dust. Carrot on a Stick does cover everything and then some.

Carrot On A Stick
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone. It's easy to read, entertaining and amusing.

I found myself unable to put it down, and if books were rated by smiles then this one is worth a mile of them.

Carrot On A Stick Is More Then Just A Book
Carrot On A Stick is not just a rectangular object with pages of words. This book is an inspiration to all who read it. The cover of the books reads " A Book about everything, Well almost everything." I can tell you, Carrot On A Stick is what it says it is and so much more.

As soon as you begin to read you immediately find yourself connecting to the Author, Billy Jones. This is a man who has "been there done that" so to speak. You find yourself in his poems and your father in his short stories. He shares real life experiences, with brutal honesty. He gives you an inside look at his life from past to present, as well as a look into what your own future will hold. As you read you will find yourself lost in the magical rhythm of his words.

Laughter seems to be one of this authors best medications for the soul. He will leave you in stitches with poems like " Drunkards prayer" and " A Traffic Jam at Wal-Mart."

He also knows how to tug at your heart strings, and gets your mind rolling with short stories like, "One Mans Dreams" and "What Are You Scared Of?"

This book comes from the heart of a man, not at all unlike you and I. He has been down and out and back up again. He gives his readers inspiration through poems, verses, and short stories.

To sum up Carrot On A Stick, I would have to say, it will make you laugh, cry, hurt, get angry, and most of all teach you something about yourself.

I have read many books, but have never found one that has touched my heart, and opened my mind like Carrot On A Stick Has done.
