Customer Reviews

Wish I had it BEFORE my timeshare presentation!

This is a great reference book, I could have saved time and money had I read this prior to going on one too many timeshare pitches. Cuts out all of the "Bull" and gave me what I needed to know. If you are thinking of buying a timeshare, read this first.

It's About Time!

It is about time that someone write a book that really tells it like it is for consumers. I read this book in less time than my last two obnoxious sales pitches took, and I only wish that I had the book with me during those two ptiches. I enjoyed the no-nonsense style that Ms. Schreier writes with and I know that if I ever decide to look at timeshare again, this book and Ms. Schreier will be there to help me. I highly recommend this book for anyone booking a vacation this sumemr that is going to include a timehare pitch. Read it before you get there!

Wish I had known this before I bought a timeshare!

Just completed reading Ms. Schreier's book, Surviving A Timeshare Presentation, and really appreciated her candidness--and humor. Having owned a timeshare in the past, I wish I had had this kind of information way back when I purchased my timeshare. And, those horrible timeshare presentations! I felt like they wanted my first born before I was asked five times to sign and buy THAT DAY! Now I know there is a better way to go about buying timeshare, the dos and the don'ts. I urge ANYONE who is going to one of those timeshare presentations to READ this book FIRST, so you know what to expect. I'm not knocking timeshare, per se, because I have enjoyed mine. But unless you really know what you're getting into, it can be a bad experience. This book will give you a look behind the curtain of the timeshare industry and can really help you make up your mind about whether timeshare is right for you. Way to go, Ms. Schreier, glad you had the guts to put all this down on paper. Your honesty and candidness is overdue on a subject that often hides behind smoke and mirrors. Congrats on a great book!

I Wish I Had Seen This Before

Boy, do I wish I had read this book before sitting through my last timeshare pitch. Ms. Schreier writes in a clear, concise style and outlines exactly what SHOULD happen at one of these sales pitches. With what I've learned, I think that a timeshare is the way for our family to go...but where do I find a timeshare salesperon like her? Is she still in the business?

A must read!!

This is a great book! I loved reading it. I have been on a number of presentations and the salespeople just confused me!! This really helped it all make sense.
