5I can't believe how much I learned about myself while reading this book.  Dec 12, 2008
By Susan Stinnett "aka Scarlett"
WOW! What an eye opener this book is. I read the "Chart of Shame" to my family and they said "that's Granny" to almost every one of them. I was even guilty of checking messages at Church. Since I am Sue, who wrote about the car accident in the book, I realized after reading it that I need to change my priorities. This book is funny, it makes you see yourself the way others do and yet doesn't take away the joy of being a Crackberry Addict. If you or someone you know has a Blackberry, the book is a must read. I had someone ask for help in writing a term paper on Blackberry users and I told him the one thing he needed was this book.

5Every Crack(berry)head should read this book  Dec 26, 2008
By J. Exline "Crackberry Addict"
My name is Josh, and I am a Crackberry Addict. I realized I was an addict, literally, within 24 hours of getting my Blackberry as a Christmas gift last year (2007.) This year, I received this book as a Christmas gift to supplement my addiction and help me learn to cope and, so far, it has absolutely done the job.

If you're an addict, have a family member who's an addict, have a friend who's an addict, etc you NEED to buy this book. It should be on your Amazon Wishlist with priority set to "HIGHEST."

It's funny, insightful and VERY useful. Tongue in cheek and serious all at the same time it is an absolute MUST BUY/MUST READ for anybody who's every even associated with somebody who owns and uses a Blackberry.

Stop wasting time and order it. NOW.

You won't regret it.

5The Zen of BlackBerry  Dec 31, 2008
By Jason Eckert "Jason Eckert"
This book is a "must have" for all BlackBerry (CrackBerry) users, and one of the funniest books I have read in a long time. If you have panicked after realizing that your BlackBerry is not at your side, or if you frequently check your BlackBerry in public, at dinner, in the car, or in bed, this book is for you.

Through funny real-life stories and a 12-step BlackBerry addict program theme, you will learn why BlackBerry smartphones are more addictive than other smartphones, how this addiction changes our behavior in weird and crazy ways, and how to keep it under control (if you want to).

After reading this book, you will love your BlackBerry even more, but with a healthier mindset - think of it as the Zen of BlackBerry.

4Enjoyable, But Would Want Blackberry History  Dec 08, 2011
By Music Lover
This book shares experiences of BlackBerry users and is insightful and helpful in lessening BlackBerry addiction. Parts of the book are hilarious, and it should help bring BlackBerry users together. But would have liked there to have been more detail about the BlackBerry's inception and evolution.

5What an eye opener  Apr 04, 2011
By Mike
This is a must book for all of us that cannot put our BlackBerries down. What an eye opener for me, didn't realize I was abusing that badly. Found myself several times in the book in the testimonials that were pictured through the book. This is a must read if you are a BlackBerry user(abuser).
