[Kathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Funny and sarcastic 'self-help' book on how to get ahead. Love the photos and movie quotes.

I died dead :)))

[Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Revisiting some of Loki's most memorable moments and glorious quotes (each accompanied by stills from the matching scene) was delightful in of itself. But the corresponding corporate (and life) tips were surprisingly apt and insightful - both for their knowledge of Loki and their applicability to real life. Well, perhaps with a few understandable exceptions ;-)
I expected to enjoy this book, but was pleasantly surprised by how clever and insightful it actually was! Thanks to my dear friend for the gift :D

[Serena Naomi · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love Loki and getting this little book to highlight both his good and bad sides and how to use them even though we aren't all Gods was great. Really enjoyed it as a little Sunday morning read!

GLORIOUS

[Martha · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of cool Loki photos and dialogue from the movies to illustrate the points on how to get ahead. Interesting little hardcover book that any Marvel (and especially Loki) fan can enjoy.

Loved it!
Loki-style “self-help” (?) book, totally enjoyable for any Loki fan, but with serious twist that makes me want to review it in my LinkedIn posts.
I will re-read it from time to time for sure!

[Sadie-Jane Huff · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a clever self-help book.
Apart from the fact that I adore Loki (from comics to films - so one star just for that), this ends up being one of my favourite handbooks on surviving the climb to the top.
Filled with quotes and lots of Tom Hiddleston images, the advice is written in a fun, yet thought-provoking manner.
Love it!
Thanks to times reads for the copy!

I got this as a Mother’s Day gift because I mentioned wanting marvel related things and he knows I love Loki. It’s a cute little book that I see as a cross between a self help column and a motivational pamphlet. Loved it as a gift but it isn’t as satisfying a read as most other things I’ve read.

[Gemini · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is short, w/ pics of Loki & Thor, plus insightful. There are some really good nuggets to ponder while reading this, along w/ some humor as well. So go ahead 7 take a few minutes to read this little gem that can only help you.

Fun little read

[Cassy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cute quick book great for any Loki fan

[Louise Owen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is now my go to guide in how to succeed 😝
I love Loki and his advice is, perhaps surprisingly, fairly sound. A fun sarcastic self help guide that is a quick read to pass a few minutes.

Lots of photos of Tom Hiddleston as Loki on every other page.

[Kacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Best "self-help book" ever!

[Dani · Rating 5 out of 5]

A small and amusing read.

[Abigayle · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun little book, if you can ignore the fact that one of the movie quotes is blatently wrong.

[Laura Brock · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s just adorable I love it

So simple

[Mari Edwards · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute quippy little book about Loki’s philosophies peppered with images from the Marvel movies and tv shows.

[Janice · Rating 5 out of 5]

I got this from the library as a cute little read but I may just buy it anyway because it’s advice made me laugh so much. 😂
