Groundbreaking!, 23 May 2000
By Jeff Borski - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pygmalion Project: Love and Coercion Among the Types: The Idealist v. 3 (Paperback)
This is an absolutely groundbreaking work by Mr. Montgomery. I saw myself so clearly in his portrait of the Counselor that I reread it three times and still could not believe that it was not written about me. To those who seem confused by the purpose of this book, I will warn you that it should be taken mainly as a companion to Keirsey's spectacular Please Understand Me. This book may be hard to follow for someone who has not first familiarized himself with the content of the aforementioned volume. Anyone interested in this subject should buy the two as a pair. Brilliant!

Lots 'o style... some substance, 30 Nov 2001
By JK - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pygmalion Project: Love and Coercion Among the Types: The Idealist v. 3 (Paperback)
In Pygmalian Project v. III, Love and Coersion among the Types - The Idealist, Montgomery artfully shows us how famous literary characters display their type (the Idealist in this case) in their loving relationships, and the "survival games" that they play to change their loved ones into something akin to themselves.All to often it is a story of a love-tragedy or mispent youth. If you are looking for some "nightstand reading" and are more of the scholarly reader then this is the book for you. For those of you looking for more explanation about why you are the way you are, I would refer you other MBTI / Keirsey type books.
While Montgomery's work is well executed, easy to read, and "fun", it offers little in the way of substansive knowlege on the subject.
On the other hand (and I am an ENFP) let me state that although I originally didnt like the stories / characters that Montgomery chose to focus on, I now have a new respect for those works and intend to go back and review them at my leisure.
Let me reiterate - if you are looking for famous literary figures and why they act they way they act then this is the book for you. If you are looking for "why do I play these games", then you would be better served by other texts.

Now I know why I was drawn to Tolstoy...., 24 Mar 2002
By OAKSHAMAN "oakshaman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pygmalion Project: Love and Coercion Among the Types: The Idealist v. 3 (Paperback)
Personally, I found this book to be amazingly accurate and perceptive. The personality type identification of various classic literary characters was completely accurate from my observations. Of course, you need to be somewhat well read to readily understand the literary references, but then most Idealists do tend to be readers.For me, it was almost synchronistic, both the way the books and characters that I had been drawn to over the years were described, as well as, how the passages stated seemed to be echoes of my own thoughts or journals. As an INFJ, I was naturally drawn to Tolstoy, and now I know why.
