I have loved his books ever since Spy Who Came in from the Cold and no one ever wrote better or more substantial fiction about the cold war and its real effects on the people involved than he did. But despite having had some success with other titles since the end of the cold war, the Mission Song was a bore. I didn't really care or understand what I was supposed to get from the main character other than the general sense of how the west has screwed the African continent and continues to do so even under the guise of providing relief. The story is flat, the characters uninvolving and in general not worth reading. It's such a shame, but even the great ones don't always hit a homerun in each at bat so we give them some slack and move on.",

"review": "very dissapointing purchase. It's made of canvas and rubber, like a pair of tennis sneakers, so it appears to be a very sturdy case. The casing also has good screen protection. But the stiff constructions makes it extremely difficult to remove the iPod from the case. I dock my iPod in speakers almost daily, so it's important to me to have easy access to the iPod. To remove the iPod from the case, I am forced to push the iPod out of the case, through the back opening using the spinwheel access window - something tells me that pushing on the spin wheel repeatedly and forcebly is not a good thing to do to the ipod.Most important reason I'm dissapointed in this purchase - the thick rubber casing around the lock switch makes it impossible to access the switch with your fingers. How would you feel about using a pen to lock and unlock your iPod?",

While some of the scientific material is quite interesting and appears to be accurate, it should have been incorporated into the main story instead of the interminable footnotes. While the basic plot story has been summarized in previous reviews, it is an original idea and perhaps will become a movie. Because that is all this really is, a screenplay or plot outline.

Dylan's record is really more of a \"breakup\" album and is much sadder, whereas Phair's is more bouncy and upbeat and wry, and not a \"masterpiece\" on the level of the Dylan record. But they're both \"adult\" records, and a clear break from their previous work. And both just get better and better with repeated listenings, revealing interesting lyric choices and chord changes. It actually takes a lot of balls to write about how having a kid can change your life and still make great music out of it. ANd that's exactly what Liz has done.",

"review": "I enjoyed this book for a number of reasons. I thought it was well-written, had well-paced humor, and a good stroll for the brain. I did find that some of the plot twists (no spoilers now) were a bit too convenient to be appreciated...like the ending. But the story is interesting, and the characters are interesting. I'm not a professional scientist, so I found the science in here intriguing enough to want to learn more about it. I wouldn't consider this a must read, but it's an interesting perspective as an atheist battles his non-faith. I also think this book covers areas that many writers might be afraid to write down. This is a pretty short book too. I've got to give Sawyer props for writing something he knew his readers in the scientific community might bash on...and I think that's the mark of a great fiction writer: Fearless and refreshing honesty, with a fun adventure.",

This is why Auto Manufacturers worry so much about \"initial quality\" and not long term quality. They are training people to love something initially and then think it is ok when it falls apart down the road and they just go buy a new one. Well if you read through the reviews you will see this in action here. Once you do a Star Rating it can't be changed. You can change the wording, but not the Stars and honestly how many people do anything more than look at the Stars. Good for JBuds, but bad for you.

"review": "The rhythm of sentence fragments, lists of images, occasional insertion of a farsical headline, harsh purity of the characters. You can't help like Quoyle and his daughters, Sunshine and Bunny, in spite of their ordinariness. You can't help fall into the dialect of the Newfoundland fishermen and the reporters who, with Quoyle, prepare The Shipping News. Fun to read. Anxious approach to each new chapter. Waves on the shores. Boats capsizing. Bodies floating. What will happen to Quoyle tonight? Man Finds Romance Reading Aloud to Wife",

"review": "I purchased this very expensive, yet thin paperback text for a social policy University course. The book is well written, but the perspectives are so American that I question the usefulness for a Canadian student of the subject.The text is certainly updated, including a lot of glowing statistics about work-for-welfare programmes. The authors also use the words \"unwed mother\" and \"Out of wedlock\". These terms were thankfully exiled from the common social work language about 20 years ago, on this side of the border.Oh yes and let's not forget the glowing stats,for abstinence- only sex education. Don't get me wrong there are lots of perspectives offered in the text but I'm accustomed to social work texts which approach material from a Social Work values perspective, which does not usually give a lot of ink to conservatives.",

How can this cd be be the greatest hits of 5 albums in 10 years when it hardly has any of their great songs?! 'Word up' and 'Here to stay' are the exception, but the rest of the content just doesnt make up for the title nor a good compilation.Most 'greatest hits/best of' cds are good choice for listeners who are getting into the band or doesn't own any or all of their cds. I wouldn't recommend this cd to any new Korn fans. This cd is just a waste of money for 'great' *sarcasm* music. You like them? Buy all of their cds, especially 'Untouchables' which is a must own. If you are new to Korn then buy Marilyn Manson's 'Lest we forget' which is what I consider a 'greatest hits' cd.",

"review": "I purchased this monitor for my spinning class. My instructor told me I should be sure to get a digital monitor rather than an analog monitor because you will pick up the heart rates of nearby cyclers with an analog. Very good advice. Apparently even the digital can pick up another heart rate if the batteries are low. I didn't give this a 5-star rating only because the instructions are difficult to understand if you are trying to use all of the various functions of the monitor. If you just want to use the straight heart rate monitor, this is a good economical choice.",
