He'll confuse dates, names and places to get his message across that Valentino had affairs with Al Jolson or William Boyd.So if there is no direct evidence why do we need a David Bret to tell us otherwise? We don't. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Motherloss or Fatherloss Review: Although my mother is still alive, I lost my father eight years ago and have since written "Fatherless Women: How We Change After We Lose Our Dads" (Wiley). I found that Edelman's observations and the interviews she shares with us touched on many of the issues of all children who have lost a parent -- clearly the loss of a mother touches on many issues of femininity for women, but many of the issues of trust and safety are the same, and I found this book insightful and informative, as well as comforting. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: powerfully moving and close to home Review: I lost my mother over a year ago and this book helped my to realize that what I was feeling was normal.My mother was my best friend, and Motherless Daughters reminded me that I was not alone in becoming a daughter that lost not only her mother, but her best friend.In time I will reread Motherless Daughters when I feel that I need more encouragement, hopefully being able to read through my tears.This book had helped me remember that my mother will always be a part of me and my memories will always be strong Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not what I expected Review: I ordered a few of these when our mom died to give to my sisters. After reveiwing it, I still have them all. This book is for women whose mothers passed when they were young and who haven't had a mother to bring them up. That isn't our case as the youngest of us is 46. It did us no good but I'm sure it might help women in that situation. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Motherless Daughters is a Must Read! Review: My mother died after a long battle with cancer when I was 13. I'm now 18 but the affects have definately not gone away. In fact, they're just beginning. My sister gave me Hope's book and I felt I had something to connect with. High school can feel awfully lonely with nobody to relate to. It was nice to hear other's stories and perhaps get an idea of what is still to come and try to avoid making mistakes in relationships just because of one event. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is close to a motherless daughter just because it so closely relates to what that person is going through and give them a better understanding. Moms and daughters would probably get a lot out of it just so they can realize what a special bond they have and make the most of it. A definate tearjerker, but very helpful none the less. Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Changed my life Review: My step mother gave me this book when I was 20. My mother died of cancer when I was 10 months old and she became a myth and painful icon throughout my life. I spent close to 20 years trying to understand why I couldn't seem to get over the loss and dealing with the fact that I always felt like I was on the outside looking in on "normal" people. Thank God Edelman wrote this book! I finally understood that there was nothing wrong with me for still being traumatized by the loss all these years later. This book is highly, highly recommended. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: It Still Isn't Helping Me 2 Years Later Review: I read this book 2 years ago and gave it a review then. Now, two years after my mother's death, I picked up the book, hoping maybe I was harsh becaues of the trama of the life changing event. Honestly, re-reading the book brought out the same pain I had felt. Apparently, people are being helped by it, but I found more hurt than help. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Motherless Daughters Review: I haven't read this book, yet. I think that it pertains to daughters who have recently lost their mothers, not my situation. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Essential and well-written. Review: This is the right book.The best thing about it, aside from its content, is its perfect tone in describing traumatic scenarios. You don't feel dragged into some emotional state that you're unwilling to enter. You can put it down at any time, and still feel the benefit of comfort and new understanding.For me, its clear and comprehensive approach to the more practical parts of loss (through death or other types of parental absence) has been more than any therapist has been able to offer. Counselors have been on-target, but to understand them, I had to start here. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Great book on a very important topic Review: Hope, has brought into the light a very, very painful and life altering experience for women at any age. My mother's mother died when she was in her early fifties. My mother never recovered from that loss, and she died 14 years later. I was 25, an only child of a single parent when she died. Hope's book helped to validate my feelings and make me feel that I am not alone in this increadible and frequently lonely journey. Thank you Hope! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: I will treasure this book for the rest of my life. Review: If you are a motherless daughter, this is a book you read from beginning to end in one sitting, drowning your tears in a box of tissues. Edelman connects to feelings that motherless daughters have and desribes them to a tee. She also describes phenomena we keep buried below the surface, and jolts us with "shock of recognition" by revealing them. I was separated from my mother at the age of 9 and have felt practically every nuance Edelman describes. This is the most beautiful, touching, genuine book I think I will ever read. I will treasure it for the rest of my life. Thank you Hope Edelman. Thank You. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: It didn't fit for me having lost my mother as an infant. Review: I would like to find a book that dealt with the loss of a parent at a young age. I was two days old when my mother died of a brain hemmorage (sp). I didn't get to spend any time with my mother and this book talked alot about having had a mother until the teen years or beyond. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Wonderful research work Review: I have been looking for a book like this all my life. There is no other book that focuses on motherless daughters. This book helped me work through my loss. It helped me realize I am not alone and also made me realize the effect my mother's death had on me. The author spent many years researching for an answer to her grief, she found it, and I think it is wonderful that she shared it with us. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very well done; very real. Review: Anyone woman who lost a mother, especially at an early age, will most likely find a lot of comfort and insight in this book. It is not sappy, and it doesn't gloss over stuff. I recommend it to all women who have experienced this loss, and also to those family/friends who love these women, so they will be less alone while in the process of coping with the loss of a mother. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Necessary reading for women and girls who are motherless Review: Hope Edelman does an excellent job of thoroughly researching a topic that I cannot find at a university library. Her topics touched on various themes and points in a woman's life such as: grieiving the loss of the mother, changing family dynamics, growth and independent identity, lessons learned from mother's death, etc. Especially how this relates to growing up without a woman around to help you learn things in society. Even how it influences and effects relationships with other males and finding a mate. I found it eerily similar to what I've experienced and felt when my own mother died when I was 15. It's a must-read for even significant others too if they are willing to understand their wives, girlfriends and fiances better--I strongly recommend it. In essence, motherless daughters are an exclusive sorority--not many people know what it's like to live the rest of your life without your mom there to guide you. Love you mom, Linda: 1955-1993 Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: SHE READ MY MIND Review: I lost my mother to cancer a month after I graduated from high school, 2 months before leaving for college. I thought no one else out there could imagine what I was going through. My Dad remarried a few years later, he got a new wife but I was still left without a mom. He bought me this book as a gift one year, I read it cover to cover in one sitting. There were women out there who knew exactly how I felt, what I was feeling. I couldn't believe it. I have bought this book for five other women since then, all who lost their moms at different stages of their life for different reasons. Everyone of them loved the book. I have recently bought the workbook and have been going through it. It is a great companion to this book. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: motherloss beyond death Review: Motherless Daughters is a book I have longed to find. Even though motherless is explained through death, all aspects of mother loss such as abandonment and neglect are discussed. The book is truly helping me face the pain inside as I dealt with abandonment while a child and now, as an adult, deal with the recent death of my mother. A terrific book for anyone who has felt any form loss in their mother/daughter relationship. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Highly recommend Review: My mother's death was totally unexpected. This book has helped me to realize that my feelings, thoughts and emotions are similar to what many other women go through. It has helped me deal with these issues and realize that the loss of my mother will continue to have an impact on my life. Knowing this and reading about how other women cope will help me when I need it. I have recommended this book to others who are struggling with the loss of their mother's. Answer:
Yes

Title: opened my eyes...and i'll always be grateful to the author Review: I think often: people always want to blame their childhood, their parents, i.e., not take responsiblity for their actions - but this isn't a case of blame.it happened and it changed me forever.i just never knew there was an explanation for the things i do, ways that i think and act, and my fear of being hurt.opened my eyes and i will always be grateful to the author.a MUST read for those women who, before they reached age 20, lost their mother. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Learning I wasn't alone meant the most Review: I resisted buying this book because I grew up feeling that I should just "get over it." I'm in my early 30's and my mother died when I was 17 months old. As wonderful as my father is, I have always felt the void of my mother's absence in my life, and more so as I get older. "Motherless Daughters" taught me that my feelings are not unique, but I wish there had been more about losing your mother as a baby or toddler. My mom died when I was walking and talking, so I am sure I grieved, but I have no memories of her life or death. It would be nice to have some follow-up about people who never had the precious opportunity to know their mothers. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Motherless Daughters really helped me. Review: I have been reading this book slowly. At least a page a night. My mother's death was a horrible experience for me even at the age of 28. Reading this book has made me feel less alone and has helped me accept some of the things my mind has done to me. I like the fact that it looks at both healthy and difficult relationships between mothers and daughters. I feel we've all had great mothers and at times those mothers can be less than perfect. It really helped me deal with the difficulties my mother and I had. It also helped me celebrate and remember the good times we shared. I would highly recommend this book to anybody in the first or last stages of grief. For me it was in the first few weeks after my mother died. In some ways it led me through the most difficult weeks of my life. Answer:
Yes

Boy moves to new town and falls in love with girl. Boy becomes part of nerdy paperboy brigade to pay for concert tickets from girl's ex-boyfriend.

No
Is this product review positive? Title: Wasted Time Review: While the story line works well for an audio book the sound effects are a problem. The sound effects are distracting and in many cases drown out the words completely. The artists reading the material did a nice job. Now the sound mixers need to get on the ball. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Crap! Review: I should have known it was crap, but ever the optimist I decided to give it a try. It was not just bad; it stunk: `Star Trek: Envoy' was garbage from the word go. The CD had one (1) track, and my cars CD player only lets you skip tracks (no fast forward - but it does hold 6 CD's). Instead of reading the story, these morons added sound effects, background noise, and had different people reading different parts. I got through about 10 minutes before I went to the next CD. It was loud, pointless, annoying, and endlessly repetitive - pure crap! I didn't even get to any of George Takei's dialog. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Great Idea - Very Cheaply Made Review: Buyer beware! It may be fine for very casual use. But ours didn't last through our first container of concentrated weed killer (less than a month). It's entirely plastic, and pretty thin at that. It has a very flimsy hose from tank to spray wand which kinked allot during use and soon broke off (and we couldn't repair it). The handle you wheel it around with actually broke along its shaft - not at the connection. And our backs were very sore from having to lean over so far to spray weeds at ground level due to the short wand. We can't even locate the manufacturer to ask for repairs or a refund. I'm guessing that was their intention! Their name is nowhere on the product.If you see a similar design made with sturdy materials, buy that instead & tell the world about it, because it COULD be a great tool. Good luck. Answer:
No

Review: It appears to be a great idea and should be a time saving and easy way to spray my plants without having to carry around a heavy container. However, I cannot get it to work. The pump runs, but I cannot get water that I was using as a test to come out of the sprayer wand! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: cheaply made Review: This spray is made very cheaply, the handle broke off the second time I used it, it's a great idea if it was made sturdier. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Very Flimsy Product Review: I do not recommend this product. The handle broke within 10 minutes of first use. You have to be very close to the item you are attempting to spray. The cord kinks repeatedly and the stream from the hose is a light mist. The wheels do not roll easily unless you are on a smooth surface (ie not on a grassy area). I like the idea of a battery operated sprayer and one that rolls but this product does not perform as needed. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Junk Review: I have used TWO of these. They never last a year. Plastic breaks and pump simply stops working. I even took one apart hoping to fix it. No luck.

No
Is this product review positive? Title: I couldn't put it down Review: A pleasure to review Regina's 1st book. I was touched by Reena's drive to never give up. I found my self wanting the story to go on and on. I laughed, I cried, I felt as if I knew Reena personally. As a teenager myself not having a mother in my life, I reflected back to the times I was also alone wandering, wondering where I was going to end up. I also like Reena made it back. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Great Staying Power even on my dry skin Review: This is a sophisticated and mature scent without smelling "old". Don't judge it by how it smells coming straight from the bottle. You have to wait a little while to know what it's going to smell like. I notice the amber and musk more than anything else. It's a little peppery at first and reminiscent but not as strong as Estee Lauder's Dazzling Gold then it settles into a soft floral. I like it a lot but probably won't consider it my signature scent. Still on the hunt. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: STINKY Review: Well I should have known better? I bought this fragrance based on the hundreds of reviews on this products. Everyone said it was Lovely, soft etc. And one of the best. So I thought I'd try it? Oops, never again will I do that! This was one of the stinkiest fragrances that I have ever smelled! It was a combination of bug spray and lighter fluid! Thank God I sprayed it on while outdoors! Not sure if this was a knock-off from the seller? But in the trash it went! Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: VIBRANT AND WARM Review: Is there anyone who doesn't know the name Sarah Jessica Parker? Okay. Think "Carrie" on TV's enormously successful "Sex and the City." She was the gal who dressed to the nines - always with style and glamour. She brings both of those qualities to her first fragrance, "Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker."It's a unique, almost indescribable blend of classicism, chic, and innocence. There's not a scent like it with top notes of fresh Mandarin, Bergamot, Lavender, and Apple Martini. Vibrant and warm it's a fragrance that caresses the senses.Middles notes are Patchouli, tender Paper Whites, and luxe Orchid. These are enhanced by bottom notes of irresistible white amber, sensuous cedar, and the very sultry musk. This is a scent I revel in, and enjoy wearing.The bottle is, of course, simple and exquisite, curved with polished glass, ultra feminine.Lovely Sarah Jessica Parker is a beautiful, dreamy yet quite alive fragrance appropriate for every occasion.- Gail Cooke Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent Camera ! Review: I received my Key010 camera a little over a week ago and I have been more than pleased with it. I took pictures out in the sun and with overcast, even some inside with lights turned on, and all of them came out great. The colors and picture quality was better than I expected. I compared the pictures to my much larger one that takes 2meg pictures and this little one is equal to it. I even printed out on photo paper some 6"X8" prints and they look great. Sure it's not as high a quality as a much more expensive camera but the photo print are much better than from most cameras I have seen. When a picture is taken what you see in the lens finder is what you get. So it's not good for long distance. Overall I am impressed with it. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: better than expected Review: I purchased this camera together with the other video/camera/mp3. My family and friends have had a lot of fun with it.

Is this product review positive? Title: Useless picture quality Review: The picture quality on this device is so awful that the camera is basically useless. It's not just sort of bad. The colours are drained, there's enormous halo, and the shutter is so slow even in bright light that you can't get a non-blurred picture. Most camera phones I've seen have much better picture quality, even if the resolution is lower. Avoid this gizmo. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Bad as in not good Review: I am a long time fan of beach music, Carolina branch, but I must say that I am disappointed in the quality of this CD. Remakes of songs that did not need remaking, JD Cash sounds like bad Sinatra to my ears. The re do of Don't Worry Baby was surprisingly listenable. The beach music vibe was there on about half of the tunes. I have a feeling that this music and these bands sound much better live, with a cold beer in your hands in a club at ocean side. Maybe volume 1 has a higher quality of work. It's not terrible, just disappointing. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: OOB failure Review: I'd like to think that when something is "refurbished" that they at least tried to plug it in and see if it works before sending it out - but apparently nobody did, because the one I received was dead on arrival.

Returned it for money back. What a shame. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Worked Once Review: I purchased this for light duty use after my previous model (NOT Hitachi)finally gave up after more than 20 years of use.I was able to blow up 4 tires to 40lbs once. The next time I went to use it, It ran for a few seconds and then started to smell of burning plastics. It appears the stator burned out.So far Hitachi has not responded, and a little research shows the stator is a $135 part (I paid $99 for the compressor).So I have a large paperweight.I've purchased several Hitachi tools, some are quite good. But there's lots of good brands out there, and if Hitachi (or Amazon) won't stand behind a clearly defective product, they won't be seeing any more of my money.It's sad that the concept of customer service has little meaning, and making excuses is the order of the day.I am thoroughly disappointed with this purchase. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: poor factory quality control Review: The unit arrived yesterday. When I unpacked it I plugged it in and it started up normally. Then I noticed the entire control unit including guages and tubing were shaking and that whole unit was loose. Also the face of one of the guages was bent and broken and the safety air bleed valve was broken off so I needed a pliers to bleed of the air. The shipping box was undamaged so I'm sure it was shipped from the factory in this condition. Needless to say I am sending the unit back for a refund. Its too bad since I own some other Hitachi tools and they have been great. Answer:
No

It took me a while to find where to put the batter and when I plugged it in it made some kind os sick gargaling sound and no pancakes came out! So I tried to send it back and they wouldn't take it back! They said that I ruined it!!The moral of the story is if it is too good to be true then it probably is. If your gonna eat pancakes there is going to be some oil. Answer:

The Fw-190 was a hard hitting plane, but in the late months of the war, more and more were being shot down by overwhelming odds of Allied fighters. Read as Fw-190 pilots battle the British and Americans from bombing the 'Fatherland'. From the Channel to the Defence of the Reich, these pilots fought bravely against overwhelming odds, but many times lost.Read as German pilots' down viermots and become experten. First hand accounts that bring battles to life.I spent 2 or 3 days reading this book and loved every minute of it.

It is definitely a better book than Hopcroft et al's, with in-depth explanations of all topics, lots of examples and exercises and in a writing style very friendly for the novice readers.

Is this product review positive? Title: The Heart of Southern Soul Beats On Right Here! Review: Contrary to prevailing industry mythology, major labels like Stax and Hi weren't the only purveyors of quality deep-fried Southern soul in the late 1960s; tiny Nahville label Excello also pressed some worthy stacks of wax. This well engineered 24-track compilation features material that appeared on the label and its subsidiaries from the mid-'60s to the mid-'70s. Most of the featured acts on this disc are only known to serious soul mavens... The Wallace Brothers, Kip Anderson, and Mava Whitney to name a few. Many of the cuts have an old-time negro spiritual feel with a serious bluesy overtone. Frankly, it's just what you'd expect from a label that has such a proud heritage. Afficionados of the genre won't be disappointed. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Worth the money, an overall decent product. Review: While looking for an iPod case for my 2nd Generation iPod Nano, I found an incredibly wide tableau of products. Cases ranged from very expensive genuine leather fold-cases to cheap but of poor quality plastic cases.I was looking for a decent case, good enough to protect my iPod from scratching and scraping. This case and armband is perfect for just this purpose. The case snugly fits my iPod, and it has velcro on the back, so it may be attached to the armband (perfect for jogging and other activities) as well as the belt strap.The only improvement to be made would be the velcro. Although I do not know how this velcro will hold up after a lot of use, often velcro tares and it's quality decreases after much use. I'll just have to see how this one holds up. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Preserve fond memories, skip this film Review: Yes, this is a sweet film. And yes, the folks associated with this movie have done other fine work...but this is one of the most amateurish films you will ever view. It features poor production values, wooden acting, and a stilted script. A better film would be a documentary about how and why this film was ever made. See "My Blue Heaven" or "Married to the Mob" or "The Whole Nine Yards" for goodness sake...but please pass on this one and preserve your memories of what a great actor Charles Durning can be. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Buy "Ravenna Art and History" instead Review: The text in this book is identical to that inRAVENNA: Art and History. The difference lies in the number of color illustrations, of which the latter has significantly more. This book primarily has black and white illustrations, and the pages suffer from foxing (browning) over time.To get a real feeling for the quality of Ravenna's mosaics, use the Image search function in Google. Even better, go to the ParadoxPlace website. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: solid improvement from 07 Review: nba live 08 is a solid basketball game. much better than nba live 07 (which was absolute trash). The graphics a better, the gameplay is better now that they got rid of that superstar system. the player hotspots are a nice touch especially for those who are not avid b-ball watchers and dont know who can shoot what from where. A couple of flaws as far as too much hand check fouling and charging calls. ive also played 2k8 which does look better. however live's controls are better. overall live 08 is a giant improvement from 07. still needs a few kinks to be worked out but is worth the money. Answer:
Yes

Title: bites big time Review: don't buy this dvd. i thought it would be good because the concept sounded great, space visuals and techno - heck yea! i know my techno, for over 14 years, and the music is awful. also it's not a mixed dvd. it sounds like a bunch of b-side tracks they wanted to [put out] some gimmick. they even ruined some of the NASA videos my jerking them around to match the music. much more irritating then relaxing. i rarely return things to amazon but this one i will simply because it's so bad.

No

Is this product review positive? Title: Great non CGI DVD Review: I really liked the idea behind this DVD. This seemed to be targeted to the club/Rave generation. The music on this DVD was not really my style, however it worked well with the visual content. You can put your own music to it as well. I really enjoyed the space videos put in to a club type video format. If you're a video jockey at a nightclub, or DJ like me, this will be a welcome addition to your set. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Dreadful Review: I'm a huge Orson Welles fan. His MacBeth is still my favorite of all the versions available. But this is a disaster: horrible sound and video quality (like watching through your aquarium), a script butchered to nothing,the ending changed and Welles in an outfit that looks like it was borrowed from Lost in Space (the photo on the cover is from MacBeth). Useful as a curiousity peice for Shakespeare or Welles fanatics only. Answer:
No

No

Title: Perfect for What it Is Review: If you need to stencil stylized flames onto a relatively small surface, like a toy or model, then this template will absolutely do the trick. It is somewhat flexible, which can help with irregular surfaces, but it's flexibility can also make it difficult to get it to lie flat without some serious concentration. Handy guide included provides lots of good tips for use. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: BETTER THAN STAR TREK Review: I couldn't read this novel fast enough. I literally ate this book up. The main character Daniel Briggs epitomized everything that you would expect in a viral, military icon. His masculinity drew me right into the story. He was alluring and enticing... a luxury to female readers... the embodiment of raw emotion wrapped in a hero's shell. I couldn't put the book down and when I did, it was only long enough to grab a quick nap. Then I was back in the story. I loved it... cover to cover. The supporting character Brent Forester was another plus. Noble, supporting and sacrificing... with a sex appeal that stole my breath away. Side by side with Emma Lemieux, his female counterpart, Brent steals scene after scene. In the end I can't wait for the next novel in the trilogy. I'm drooling for its release. I'd love to see it on the movie screen. Daniel and Brent are my kind of men! Answer:
Yes

It led you on an explosive chase that not only placed you far in the future, but kept ties with familiar present geographical places enough to keep your feet somewhat planted on Terra-ferma. The plot was complicated and complex but written in such a manner so as to be easily followed. The ending was satisfying yet left enough questions that you hunger for more. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Not very informative Review: As a VoiceXML developer, I looked forward to this book. I was disappointed. Too much time was spent speculating on Version 2.0 and not enough time explaining Version 1.0. If you are looking to learn VoiceXML this is not the book. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: VoiceXML for very beginners Review: The book is a general overview of telephony application and a thin introduction to VoiceXML. It covers important matters in a very rapid and unprecise way. It contains even errors in the examples. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: very poor book Review: I am very disappointed after buying this book. Lot of examples don't work. Lot of mistakes are all over the book. I just tried the example (p. 246) about <subdialog name="..." uri="..." /> then found out that <subdialog /> does not have uri attribute (p. 340) (<submit> doesn't have neither). Some examples use </block> as an begin-tag, some use <block/> as an end-tag. The author use <-- comment --> for comments everywhere in the book. I found a long error-list from this book. I wish the author takes more time to double check before publishing this book. The time you (beginner) spend to make examples in this book to work is more expensive than the money and time you spend on other books or FAQs in the internet. Right now, the only part I use from this book is VoiceXML Reference:TAGS part which, actually, you can find it in any VoiceXML web sites. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Four Seasons second best album Review: Aside from Genuine Imitation Life ...this is the Four Seasons most creative and varied effort. The Easy Listening of The Singles Game sits comfortably alongside the soulful Where are my Dreams and the astonishing Psychadelia influenced Lay me Down. If the Four Seasons were perceived as even a slightly cool band in the late sixties, tracks like these would be seen as classics today. But no other band could have sung them as well as Frankie.

Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: A Really Good Introduction Review: This is a good introduction to the life and work of Howard Thurman. If you're at all interested in learning about the spiritual life and thought of a great thinker and theologian who was a major influence on the civil rights movement this is the book for you. This is a deceptively easy read. This work raises some really interesting ways to think about how we interact with God and with one another while also just being entertaining. I am very pleased with my purchase. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A good manual for the money... Review: When I had to pull the head off my vehicle, I knew I didn't know too much about this engine and I would have to have some type of help. Although this manual doesn't have every thing, it had enough information for me to do the job right. I recommend this item, but if you don't work on your vehicle yourself often..I'd take it to a mechanic...a good mechanic. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Too Many Holes For Me Review: I was pretty disappointed with this book. It was fine to see alot of the more advance engine work but I wanted a more practical reference. Holes for me included characteristics of the sound system like speaker size and identification of the wires in the stereo deck wire harness, and wiper blade correction, it goes through how to remove and replace wipers, wiper motors, etc. stressing the importance of marking the wiper motor bolt ensuring the wipers are bolted on correctly but it doesn't say how to re-orient your wipers if they are already out of alignment. In my case they were out because of freezing rain and me leaving the wipers in the on position when I shut off the car.To me the book seemed patched together and some of the pictures didn't look like anything on my Crusier. I can't recommend it and I am still looking for a good reference for my '02 Limited Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: They were the woods out back of my home. Review: I did not know the location of this book when I picked it up. Soon into it I looked off my balcony and there it was, the "Woods Out Back." Then the characters started to form Gino was a one of a kind local fixture and very nearly the way the book describes him sans hammers. I suppose bottles would make an apt substitute. The local school, the land developments. The town of "Lancashire". A make believe world that was all too believable.Congratulations for taking some of uss there and back again.Slainte'Kiltone Answer:

He asks little or no questions what so ever (It's just a dream, so enjoy it, RIGHT!). Does what he is told, risks life and limb for the ones who have basically imprisoned him in this world. Then the ending... What a loser, in this world as well as the Fairy World. Answer:

Title: OY VEY..THIS ALBUM STINKS Review: This is supposed to be a"holiday"album for those who celebrate Hanukkah rather than,say,christmas,or kwanza..A nice thought,and God knows that there just aren't too many Hanukkah albums out there,of any kind...So it is too bad that this album is such a loser..The songs are neither entertaining nor particularly clever...My mother used to insist that if one did not have something good to say one should not say anything at all,but in the case of this terrible album I feel it is my duty to ignore mother's advice and proclaim loudly;OY VEY,THIS ALBUM STINKS...Adam Sandler wrote a cute little Hanukkah ditty,which is available on his album"Whatever happened to me"..the album has some dirty jokes and explicit lyrics,but his Hanukkah song is a constant delight,unlike ANYTHING to be found on this disc...

Is this product review positive? Title: Pretentious. Whatever. Review: This album seems very "put on" with the intention of having listeners think it is not. Guess they fooled the record company though since they obviosuly have a deal and are doing well. That still doesn't mean the music is good. It means it sells. The unfortunate part of all this is that the group seems to have talent. They play well, sing well and have some cool arrangements. It's just to bad it's all wasted on a gimmick. Answer:
No
