Is this product review positive? Title: Bad Fiction Review: There is no "mystery" to Rand's life. She has written volumes about all her ideas and her character. Branden has very little intellectual capacity left and does not even embrace Objectivism, but tries to undermine reason, virtue and value in the name of "Objectivism".This book is one of the worst works of fiction I have ever read. If you want to know about Rand's life read Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, or for non-fiction; Capitalism The Unknown Ideal, The Romantic Manifesto, The Virtue of Selfishness or Objectivism:The Philosophy of Ayn Rand. For more reading pick up any of her articles written for the New York Times.It is frightening that a person that has been removed from Rand's life because she discovered him to be without virtue and a liar can then claim to "know" her better than anyone and that others would want to read his book and take it as Truth. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Thoroughly Refuted Review: Recent scholarship has demonstrated the complete dishonesty of this work (and its earlier version) and its historical unreliability. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Insincerity Reigns Supreme Review: This book is painful to read, not because of what it says about Rand, but because of the obvious dishonesty on every page. This is a pack of lies from a professional liar. Thoroughly refuted by scholars like James Valliant, this book will go the way of the dodo. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Smear and exploitation of Ayn Rand (read The Passion of Ayn Rand's Critics for the whole story) Review: This book is a smear job against Ayn Rand so that Nathaniel Branden can clean up his own tarnished reputation while cashing in on Ayn Rand's fame.James S. Valliant, in his book The Passion of Ayn Rand's Critics: The Case Against the Brandens, thoroughly dissects the claims made by the Brandens against Ayn Rand. He then references Ayn Rand's own personal journals to systematically demonstrate how Barbara and Nathaniel Branden deceived and exploited Ayn Rand for years for their own illegitimate aims. Even after Ayn Rand's death, the Brandens continue to cash in on Ayn Rand's self-made fame and her original philosophy of Objectivism. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Exciting and inspiring! Review: I found this book exciting, inspiring, courageous, and very personally helpful. It is written beautifully. To anyone who loves Ayn Rand's work, this book is a must. To anyone who has followed the work of "the father of self-esteem," this book is a revelation. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent Book Review: I'm an avid reader and found this one to be a page turner. It is a fast read because you want to know what is happening with the characters.This is my first book by these authors and I intend to read their other book "Prescription for Greed". Look forward to reading more books from them.Pat Will Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Hong Kong rivals hollywood Review: This is Tsui Hark's follow up to his 1983 "Zu Warriors of the Magic Mountain". While this film is visually dazzling, the earlier film is something of a visual treat in its own right. Unfortunately the sequel lacks the charm of the original, at least for me. While Legend of Zu certainly rivals the special effects ability that we've grown accustomed to from Hollywood, the story seems a bit empty. Zhang Ziyi's role is nearly a cameo--don't expect to see much of her. Still, I found the film entertaining and, if you like Asian cinema, it's worth a look. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Live Anime!! Review: Not many movies capture the inspiration of a mixture of fantasy and reality to the point that you can't decifer between the two.I like the briliant colors and CGI intergrations, outstanding story line. One of the greatest movies I have seen...so far. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Impressive Special Effects but no convincing story Review: Like the title says, the special effects, although sometimes a bit too colorful for my taste, were very impressive. But they are the only thing this movie got going for itself. The story was one of the most confusing I ever witnessed. Perhaps some of it would make some sense to a connaisseur of Chinese legends but I was completely lost. Fans of Martial Arts movies will be equally disappointed by the lack thereof. There is only a single and short fight which involves martial arts (between Hollow, Joy and Thunder). All the other fights are resolved by overpowering the enemy with ones magic and are mostly overshadowed by special effects. My guess is that Tsui Hark got a bit carried away by his special effects and in the process neglected the other components of the movie, mainly the story. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Couldn't wait for this movie to end Review: Featuring an all star cast, this movie should really have been a lot better. However, even these stars could not defeat the horrible script. A nonsensical plot with gimmicky supernatural effects left this feeling more like a children's cartoon than an action movie. Save yourself some time and skip this one.You won't understand the plot -- because there is none. You won't be impressed by the special effects -- unless you want to see people fly through the air (think Superman, not Crouching Tiger) with a blue streak trailing them. The fight scenes are far and few between -- and the fighters often rely more on supernatural weapons than acrobatic kung fu. I gave this movie 1 star, because that's the lowest score available. It really didn't deserve a star at all. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: hollow and meaningless graphic junk, deserve NO STAR!! Review: this is a ridiculous and clueless graphical junk! terrible! after watching it going mindlessly nowhere for 20 minutes, all of us, parents and teenagers, cursed loudly and decided to reject the dvd. WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK! we are very angry at the screenplay writer, director, the production and the release companies. acting? absolutely non-exist. pure computer generated junk so crappy that almost made us puke!

No

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: This saga needs less caffeinne Review: The premises for this film are all extremely attractive. Immortals that reincarnate and live in an Olympus style mountain look over the mortals and battle a fallen brother, reminiscing Melkor/Morgoth against the other Valar in the Silmarillion. And sacrifice and wisdom can lead the heroes through sorrowful sacrifices to ultimate victory against the odds.But the director filmed in such an accelerated state that this movie jumps from an action scene to another without pause leading to extremely basic dialogues, paper thin characters and confusing reincarnations. Sometimes there are scenes of exquisite beauty showing strong cinematographic skills by the professionals involved. That saves the movie from a one star rating.This saga needed more footage, maybe even a series, to become a true epic worthy of remembering. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: dissapointed Review: i remember when they first showed a prview of this moive in theatres long time ago in 1999. it was only playing in selected theatres and i wanted to see it pretty badly. few years later i could not find a dvd anywhere i went. finally it comes out and i buy it on amazon and man, was i dissapointed. sure martial arts in movies is great if you like it, but it was not so good in this film. also the special effects which they were praising about in this film looked like a kid in his parents garage made it. in all, this film is lucky to recieve 1 star. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: not designed to, you know, function Review: This item was really disappointing. It looks nice enough, but is poorly made. The wicker isn't very nice, and the interior faux leather straps are shoddy.The worst part, by far, is that carrying it by the handle would cause all your unsecured items inside (i.e your food) to fall to the bottom in transit. Such careless design! I decided to return mine before using. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Poor Quality Review: This should cost $15, I can't believe how cheaply and poorly made it is for the cost. When it arrived it already had a cracked glass and the handle was falling off the basket, which is attached with hot glue and what seems like round paper fasteners. The straps are cheap plastic, everything about it is poorly made of the cheapest materials. Cups and plates are plastic, silverware is thin steel. The only reason I didn't return it is because I needed to use it so I superglued the bottom of the cup together and just went with it. I would not recommend this product, it would be better if you got a cheap basket and brought your own utensils. I wish I wouldn't have wasted my money. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Extremely low quality Review: The basket looked good online...but when it arrived, it was extremely low quality. Light weight, cheap construction; fake leather straps; cheap plastic plates, and flimsy low-quality flatware. We had purchased this for a wedding gift, but would have been embarrassed to give it to someone, so returned it and when to plan B. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Best Wedding Present Ever Review: This picnic basket had everything I was looking for. It was the perfect start to a wedding gift; we just added a blanket, a bottle of wine, and a gift certificate. The basket had place setting for two, including wine glasses and being that the couple in question lives near the mountains, they loved it. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Get your Mojo workin' Review: This album contains more sacreligious roadhouse music from the master. Make sure that you put yourself in a late-80s, early 90's frame of mind before listening to tracks like "Debbie Gibson Is Pregnant With My Two-Headed Love Child" and "619-239-KING" or you won't get the joke. "Chicken Drop", "She's Vibrator Dependent", and "I'm a Wreck" are timeless and funny. For fans of Mojo and Skid, this one rates as a must-have right behind the infamous "Bodacious". Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: If your children can only have one book, this is it. Review: I read this story to my children, my grandchildren, and am now looking for a "fresh" copy for my great grandchildren. This one is quite tattered, but treasured. I'd considered framing some of the pages for the children's room. Now I'm glad I didn't.All of us can quote this book by heart to this day, as we never tired of reading it. Some of my daughters first words were filling in words as I read. I do so wish it was republished. It is the most loved and beloved book of all. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Greatest Writers of SOLID MUSIC! Review: I love this CD! Every song is just beautiful! Nick and Val are the consumate song writers and performers and I would highly recommend a purchase of this CD. I have numerous CDs by Ashford and Simpson and plan to continue collecting until I get them all. I've recently added a Blueray DVD of their live performance in New York and I love it! Although Nick passed on recently, we were so blessed to have experienced his [and Val's] songwriting talents. Valerie, WE LOVE YOU and our thoughts and prayers are with you during this adjustment process. Please carry on with the music and bless us with more soul touching BEAUTIFUL songs. Take care and God Bless You from A SOLID FAN FOR LIFE!! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: This CD is.... Review: This CD is an okay CD. It's not the best and i've heard better. Analia's voice does not seem to have any power like Celine Dion or Whitney Houston. Some of the music in the songs don't sound as good also because they don't use real instruments and sounds kind of wierd.(don't ask me how i know because i saw your site) Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Prefer it to Dragonlance Review: There is some silly stuff in this set, I'm not goign to kid you. Despite that, I love this campaign setting much more than the original Krynn setting. Feral tribal elves, a civilization of minotaurs, 'glass ships' sailing fields of obsidian...lots to like here, especially if you use it along with Spelljammer.The downside: It kind of seems like a dumping ground of ideas that just didn't quite make it into other sets. The Roman Minotaurs, the Mongolian Elves...has a certain goofiness. If played by the right group it can be a lot of fun. It also features Krynn 'tinker' gnomes prominently, a subrace I have always had a certain loathing for as I don't care for obvious inbuilt comedic relief races.Overall, some decent material, great maps. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Review of Time of the Dragon Box set. Review: This Box Set attempts to expand on the Dragonlance world by introducing another continent to the world of Krynn. Compared to David "Zeb" Cook's game mastery in the AD&D 2nd Edition guide book and the Forgotten Relms setting, this supplement falls far from the mark. Related to the well known continent of Anaslon primarily in sharing the same pantheon, this should be considered a whole new world that was linked to the main Dragonlance area by a trecherous ocean years before the current storyline. If this were a product that was designed to create a whole new world, it would get 3 stars for the quality and throughness...but it suffers mightily by the atemped link to the rest of the world that's hardly related to by the rest of the source material. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Zero functionality and smashing looks.. Review: As the previous reviewer mentioned, it looks really really cool.. The catch is, it doesnt hold anything at all.. I need a spare tube, a Topeak tool kit which is fairly tiny, a compact pump, patch kit, a pair of tire lever.. Absolute minimum in case of a flat. I cannot do without any of them. Now, i can only fit at the max three at a time. The rest should go in my carry bag..If you are my kind of a guy, look for something else.. If you prefer looks over functionality this is the tool bag without a doubt.. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: basic information - nothing more Review: This is another in a long line of instuctional books written by a pro athlete who doesn't really have the ability to pass his methods along to neophytes. Athletes who are blessed with God given talent and have the abilility to flat-out "Do it" seldom have worthwhile information to pass along to those less fortunate. I have read many baseball coaching books and I found this one to be typical of those written by naturally gifted pros. There is little in this book that could be considered authoritative and definitive in terms of improving the hitting prowess of the young baseball player. Better to stick to books authored by experienced coaches, particularly the college variety. They have made careers of instructing players and their abilities show in their books. You want baseball instruction? Try Rob Delmonico Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Very little meat Review: Very little meat in this book. I can sum up all the hitting instruction with keep your hands relaxed, have a small stride, step softly towards the pitch, and stay inside the ball. I liked Ted Williams book much better. Answer:

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Light Weight Review: I took the exam just once and passsed it. I am A+, CNA, MCP and pursuing MCSE. I don't believe that I could have passed the Win95 exam by just reading only this book despite all the raving reviews here. Yes, the authors writes in an easy-to-follow style. But the content lacked in depth coverage on details and esoterica that Microsoft loves to hitting on. The end of the chapter questions in the book were too easy and almost caught me thinking that this test was going to be painless. NO WAY! You will be shocked by the multi- scrolling-screened scenario questions in the real test. I had to get another study guide and practice tests to really prep for the exam. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent for review. Review: I am a network tech just out of school and I need my MCSE quick. These books have some errors BUT at least I can find a page dedicated to fixing it in a common sence location.I have purchased others in the sieriers and will be using them as quick reference always.Way to go guys! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A no-nonsense approch to studying for the Windows 95 exam... Review: This book is geared solely for those who are interested in preparing to take the Windows 95 exam for Microsoft certification and not for those who are looking for a comprehensive book on Windows 95. The author comes right out at the start of the book and says he is not writing this book for people who want to learn all there is about Windows 95 but is writing it solely for the purpose of preparing the reader to take the exam. I guess it is kind of a shame the exam doesn't cover the subjects more deeply because I expected to see more than just a scratch of the surface on Windows 95. But the book is well written, easy to read, easy to understand and contains many practice questions. So if it does it's job and helps me pass the exam then I really can't complain. I give this book 4 stars. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Do NOT buy this book Review: I was very surprised to see that most of the other reviews of this book were so positive. I thought this book was terrible. The writing style put me to sleep. After reading 10 of the 14 chapters, I couldn't stand anymore. I bought the Network Press Study Guide and Test Success and found them much more helpful (although the Network Press books seem to have more errors in them than most MCSE books.) My suggestion would be to go to your local bookseller and read a chapter or two in the SAMS book before you buy it. I relied on the above recommendations alone and was VERY disapppointed. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent one-volume study guide Review: I just passed WIN95 70-64 with an 877 using this as my main study guide. This book focuses on essentials, without providing tons of extraneous facts that won't be on the exam. I highly recommend that anyone prep-ing for an exam do as many scenario questions as he/she can find. He/she will also need to know a lot more about NT Server, WINS and DNS than expected--about 1/3 of my questions were on those issues. This book doesn't cover trust relationships or emphasize NT Domain stuff quite enough for 5 stars, but it is better than the Que "Exam Series" Guide that is my other prep. guide. I will be purchasing the other Marcus Burton books in this series. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Concise and informative Review: Taking into consideration the wide range of topics covered in the Windows 95 exam, this study guide was not only comprehensive, but very easy to read. It didn't contain a lot of the "fluff" that is seemingly used as "page filler" in other books and topics were covered in an interesting and informative manner.The exercises at the end of each chapter were excellent for weeding out any silly mistakes that could be made at exam time and the practice exam was good for a last minute nerve settler. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Good, one stop, book for passing the Win95 MCP exam Review: This book can be used to pass the Windows 95 MCP exam (70-63), with no other books. Having said that, there are a some mistakes, and an additional book would help to spot and correct these. I used the Windows 95 Resource Kit, which is an excellent reference book anyway. My only real criticism are the practice questions. They are far too simplistic. The exams in the test are much more scenario based, and are a bit of a suprise if you have only read this book. In spite of this, I passed the exam first time. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent, Oustanding for exam preparation Review: Mr. Marcus Barton is nothing short of genius. His knowledge of computers is quite evident but more importantly, in his book titled "Teach yourself Windows' 95 in 14 days" he walks the reader through the Windows' 95 operating system a concise, logical and simplistic manner. In preparation for the Microsoft Certification exam, Mr. Barton does an excellent job in not only covering the material for the exam but the reader really develops an understanding of the process behind the operating system. With this understanding comes confidence and enthusiasm. Can you really read this book and pass the certification exam? Yes, you can. I did! A must for all those who really wish to enter the hierarchy of being a Microsoft Certified Professional in a delightful, painless manner. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not at all expensive and worth every penny! Review: I used this book as my primary and almost exclusive study guide for the exam. Having used Windows '95 extensively for some time and more than a little comfortable with installing, configuring, and optimizing both the host computer as well as peripheral hardware, I was pleased when I found more than half of the book dealing with just these subjects. But when I went to take the exam, I found it was another story. The exam dealt predominantly with networking and the book didn't. I knew the book but found it to be quite different than the actual exam! My advice is to search elsewhere! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Outstanding book Review: Excellent study guide. Didn't bog me down with useless crap. The only author that made me understand system policies. I wouldn't have passed without this book. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great overview of everything you'll need to know 4 the exam! Review: I have been supporting Windows 95 in a network environment for 2 years now. This book was the perfect study guide!! - I passed. If you want to know what is going to be on the exam before you take it, this book is a must! The author is an authoritative source who tries to help you focus on the essentials through chapter quizzes, Fast Facts, Exam Tips, side notes, and cross references to Microsoft's Exam Objectives. If you know Windows 95 and your ready to take a Microsoft Exam, get this book! Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Great Book Review: This is a GREAT book, especially seeing as how it is Heather's first book. Great suspense, wonderful romance. I expected Heather's writing to be similar to her mom's (Elizabeth Lowell (a.k.a. Ann Maxwell), and was shocked at how different her writing is. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait for the next book. Thanks Heather for the wonderful book. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Unprofessional police officer Review: Detective Sean Richter had to be the most unprofessional police officer in history. The scene between him and Claire in Olivia's kitchen was disgusting. I also found it hard to believe they fell in love in just a month. All in all, the book really wasn't too bad, just not the best. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: In a Word:Tedious Review: Maybe the expectations were too high. Readers of her mom: warning: this book is tedious. The book is too long (tedious) ; the characters uninteresting, leaving the reader uncaring; and the dialogue is tedious. Chapter headings give locales, but too many times these are unnecessary. The plot is flat, maybe because the characters are. The love scenes are boring (tedious). There are no surprises or unexpected happenings. A really good editor could have pealed this huge volume down to reveal a semi-interesting novel, not more than a Silhouette in length. Hope springs eternal, so maybe her second (if there is one) will be better. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! Review: I wouldn't deign to befoul my lofty mental ambience with Ms. Lowell's fetid gutter pap, but a valued colleague of mine did relay her educated thoughts on this "novel" to me. My colleague is highly artistic and cultured so do not doubt her opinion. She remarked that the affect that reading "When the Storm Breaks" by Heather Lowell has upon one's state is akin to finding out that the one week in 17 years that you forgot to buy your Sweepstakes ticket, you find out that your numbers won a jackpot in excess of $39,000,0000.00. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Unreadable Review: I almost never stop reading a book a quarter of the way through but I bought this book because I thought it was a crime/suspense novel and it turned out to be a lousy romance with a tacked on twisted murderer. The overarching story was the romance between the detective who falls in love with the gorgeous, unconscious victim (boundaries much?) and the gutsy gal with the "dancing black eyes" (what does that even mean?) Gaak. Sadly for me, I bought both this author's novels at the same time. I'm glad to see she gave up writing. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Good read. Review: I liked the characters and thought the dialogue was funny. This is a very good first novel, and I was here in Amazon looking for another book by Heather Lowell to read. In When the Storm Breaks, we watch two control freaks struggle with losing control; Clare whose carefully organized world gets tipped on end and Sean whose caredully controlled emotions and rules of conduct go out the window when he meets Clare. I like the struggle between instinctive attraction and professional or self imposed rules of conduct. The internal dialogue was funny. It was refreshing that both protagonists had equally developed tempers and vulnerablilites and that the tempers didn't turn violent. I liked the byplay between Aiden and Sean and Olivia and Clare too. I also thought the sex scenes were pretty darn hot. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: a'tris is Smart Alternative Rock Review: It has been a long time since a group has put out such intelligent rock. With the plethora of "MTV Wannabes" on the scene, a'tris reminds us that music is still an art.The vocals are reminiscent of Michael Stipe and Morissey. The album's "sound" calls to mind Radiohead's OK Computer with its lush musical canvas.I look forward to the encore. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: "Free" A slight improvement over their debut. Review: "Free" #148 in (1989), is Concrete Blonde's 2nd studio album. Johnette Napolitano lead vocalist of the band, with drummer Harry Rushakoff, guitarist James Mankey and bassist for this album Alan Bloch. This was a more varied album than their debut in 1986. "God Is A Bullet #15 mainstream rock, starts of the album, a kick-ass little number, a favorite of mine since it first came out. "Run Run Run" is a nice overall pop-rocker. The Thin Lizzy remake of "It's Only Money", gets a real good treatment here. "Roses Grow", is a slight edge on rap. "Scene Of The Perfect Crime", is just pure pop with a dash of drama. "Happy Birthday", is a cute little ditty (always loved the video). "Little Conversations" and "Carry Me Away" finish the album more confidence. 4 1/2 stars overall. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great rock and roll record Review: 1989's "Free", is a great rock and roll record. Johnette Napolitano and company give us the classic rocker "God is a Bullet", Thin Lizzy's great remake of "It's Only Money", "Help Me", "Carry Me Away" and "Scene Of A Perfect Crime"(love that song). The only weakness is it only has 33 minutes on the cd. Answer:
Yes

I found absolutly no help in this book and couldn't believe the author was even married. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: High quality, versatile Review: A good stout hook rated to 10,000 pounds. Comes with three holes so it can be mounted on a TJ or a YJ without any modifications. Also includes two sets of bolts so they can be mounted in the threaded holes on the TJ or through holes you drill. Only thing I'd change is to make the bolts Grade 8 so the hardware is equal to the hook in quality. Answer:
Yes

In my opinion and application it would be even better if it was about 3 to 4 inches longer. Other than that it is a very strong tow hook. Amazon had the best price and shipping. I live in Hawaii and it was way cheaper to purchase at Amazon then on the economy, add in free shipping at it's even better! Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointing Review: As a mother, I was excited when I read the review stating this book was one every mother should have. I imagined a touching, sentimental book. I was disappointed. The "poems" seem like random thoughts and ramblings. None of them made me feel touched as a mother. It seemed to only be about the gross and annoying aspects of childhood. I imagine the author was attempting humor, but I didn't find it very funny. If you know what to expect, the book is for you. But if you are expecting a soft, warm, cozy feeling--skip this. Answer:
No

They are NOT a true #2 size.I tried to use these where I usualy use a #2 screw from FENDER for mounting vintage guitar tuners. In 25 years of building guitars(20 at fender) I have NEVER twisted a tuner screw's head off. They always strip the philips first, & there about .025" thicker than these screws. Don't waste youe money, these are awfull. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Poor Excuse for Journalism Review: I have read some of Vidal's biographies, and was interested in his analysis of the current political situation. I feel that we do indeed get a slanted version of the 'truth', and hope that by looking at many viewpoints with a critical eye, some semblance of the truth will eventually stand out. This book was less than helpful. I fail to see the value of the purely low-class cheap shots (e.g. on Barbara Bush's looks), the unsupported assertions (e.g. most of the 'incursions' vaguely listed 'we started') or the vapid sources quoted as 'research' (e.g. the Federation of American Scientists, neither a federation nor comprised of real scientists) in developing an understanding of the US position in the world. I have concluded that Mr. Vidal's writings were not rejected because they were unpopular. They were rejected because they were lousy. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: full of sound and fury Review: Despite its engaging and incisive title, the book is a a hodge-podge of mostly outdated and disconnected polemics touching on subjects as varied as the Clinton Health Plan, teenage sex, farm politics, and the Oklahoma City Bombing. The author does make some excellent points but his material comes with such a froth of hyperbole that even otherwise legitimate criticism seems nonsensical. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Truman Capote writes political essays? Review: on recalling when he realized the bill of rights had expired--For me it was sometime in 1960 at a Party in Beverly Hills that I got the bad news from the constitutionally cheery actor Cary Grant. He hade just flown in from New York. He had, he said, picked up his ticket at an airline counter in a magical old-world airport...."there were these lovely girls behind the counter, and they were delighted to help me, or so they said. I signed some autographs. Then I asked one for my tickets. Suddenly she was very solemn. "Do you have identification?"This is mostly glossy magazine writing. Don't hope for any compelling analysis of warfare. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Good Read Review: I am a huge fan of Gore Vidal. When I first purchased this book I thought it was mostly about 9/11 but the majority of the book was about the Oklahoma City bombings. At first I was a little let down but after finishing the book I was very glad he talked about the Tim Mcv. situation. He put it into a completely different light and I learned a lot about what really happened. I was only a child when it happened so it is nice to learn more about the 'why' of the bombings. Very intriguing book. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Bottom Line: '...a MUST READ for patriotic Americans...' Review: This is an outstanding book from an insightful and wise author. It should be required reading for all Americans. Recommend also: 'Imperial America: Reflections on the United States of Amnesia' and 'Decline and Fall of the American Empire (The Real Story Series)' ...both by Gore Vidal. Also, see the documentary film 'Why We Fight'. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Review of Gore Vidal's Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace Review: The reason I did not give this book five stars by this American intellectual heavyweight is that it was not a true book. It is a series of previously published articles. Excellent reading all the same. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not Very Well Organized!!! Review: I am very disappointed with the book. I saw Gore Vidal on [the] News and bought the book because I became interested in some of his points of view and yearned for a more in depth analysis. The book did explain his theories but this could have been done in 10 pages. The rest of the 150 pages of his book were repetitive, disorganized and contained information that was neither here nor there. The book is not a complete flop but it is hardly what I expeted! Think twice before purchasing!!!P.S. Approx 40 pages of the 150 were dedicated to war statistics so think about the substance and the overall value of your buck! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Misleading title: There are better books out there. Review: Ornery. Cantankerous. On occasion, interesting. Overall, just a quick way for Mr. Vidal to dusty-off some moldy old pieces in exchange for a few bills that were quite happy resting in my wallet. By way of suggestion, you may want to consider "Reasons to Kill", by Richard E. Rubenstein - a serious (and conspiracy-free) look at "perpetual war for perpetual peace". Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great book. Review: One of the best contemporary writers, Gore Vidal, writes a provoking book. This book gives a well thought evidence of the current administration as to why "We" are so hated. I would definitely recommend this book because it gives you perceptiveness to things that the government has executed but yet the mass media has not informed us about. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Read this Review: Vidal could have taken more time to cite his sources, but his facts are correct. Americans would rather hear a bunch of "Ra ra, sis boom ba!" flag-waving junk, because they don't have much else in their lives to make them feel good about themselves, but sometimes the truth hurts. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A wake up call Review: Gore Vidal's collection of essays is a wake up call for the American people. Americans have the disturbing willingness to accept whatever the government tells them at face value. Despite Watergate and the Iran-Contra scandels (the two most publicized), Americans still look the other way when our government blantly lies to us. Gore Vidal's book, though dissapointly short and somewhat fragmented, holds even greater relevance today. With our rights silently slipping away, with our Ken Lay's walking our streets instead of pacing in jail, one cannot help but feel the greatest dread for what the future holds. Vidal refers to 'judge Kafka'who presides over the insanity of our goverment, and one cannot help but think of how many years it will take until our lives will be parallel to the characters in The Trial. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great Review: As always (almost) Gore satisfies with a fresh and accurate look at the causes & background to 9/11.When the 9/11 tragedy hit, not one person in the press asked "Why?". This is a worthwhile start as a response.Well worth the read Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: America's most astute political observer Review: Gore Vidal is our most astute political observer and a brilliant writer. He's perhaps the 20th century's last great essayist. His insights about the rotten state of America's governance and the shredding of the Constitution are incisive. Definitely worth reading and thinking about. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Necessary yet unpolished Review: While Gore Vidal asks essential questions and makes some key points that are welcome in these days of reductionist thinking, this book left me with the feeling that it was unpolished, rapidly thrown together with bits and pieces lying around (including an incomplete list of war statistics filling page after page, almost unformatted).Gore Vidal is not writing from a basement on a typewriter by the light of a candel. Yet, this collection of essays gives this impression. And this does the general argument he makes a disfavor. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointing, shallow Review: I bought the book because of its sub-title "How we got to be so hated". I expected to find some insights into the fallacies of US foreign policy and how it created much hatred to the US around the world. None of that. Intead, most of the book revolves around the Oaklahoma City bombing and the perceived loss of civil liberties due to the war on terrorism.The author's arguments are shallow, not supported by facts and quite often he resolves to demagoguery and under-the-belt blows to make his point, not very convincingly.That's very disappointing because US foreign policy and its inconsistencies (e.g. advocating democracy and human rights while at the same time supporting oppressive autocratic regimes and states that violate international law) is a great subject for a book and could well indeed explain to the American public "how we got to be so hated". Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Superficial and self-promoting Review: Gore Vidal's opus is subtitled "How We Got to be so Hated". The cover promises "penetrating and alarming essays." Would that he had make more than a token attempt to seriously discuss that much needed subject. Unfortunately, the bulk of the book is devoted to a wandering and repetitious discussion of Timothy McVeigh's motives for the Oklahoma City bombing.The book should have been written in 1998 or so; Vidal is out of touch with the new abridgements of American freedoms that have occurred since 9/11/01.In general this was an attempt to pack fifteen page magazine argticle into a 160 page book. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Worse than not working Review: This stuff not only didn't work at all for me (though I only tried it in one very old Chevette), it made things worse.I was always dealing with very foggy/wet interior windows (especially in wet winter weather) and tried this stuff out. It just didn't work. And before I could sort of wipe off the windows with a paper towel and I'd be OK, but now the water wouldn't wipe up, it just sort of smeared and stayed wet (like a mix of oil and water would). Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: GREAT EMERGENCY ITEM Review: I had a bad situation where my defrost was not working. I got a bottle of this stuff, and it was great. It was very rainy, and with people in my car breathing and talking, the windows got very foggy. But, I used this rain-x and I am a witness that it works like a charm. Highly recommend. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Wrong Cushion Review: My cushion arrived quickly but it wasn't the beautiful cushion that was pictured in the add. It was a horrible-looking thing with a big blue flower print on it. I wasn't too happy but decided not to send it back because it wasn't that important. I won't be using it very long because it flattens out so much that it's almost like not having a cushion at all. I supposed the nice looking one that I didn't receive would have been just as uncomfortable. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Overpriced at $0.00 Review: It's a real time machine to the 80's, if by that you mean the poorest acting, lamest dialog and dumbest cliche gags packed into a movie with an occasional nipple or to to keep the boys interested. I got 55 minutes in, started trying to ffwd to the high points and quickly decided that there weren't any. Hey, taste is subjective, humor especially so, so you might agree with the majority view. Perhaps a couple joints might improve the humor, but at that point drywall seems equally funny. Answer:
No

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Spend your money on the project, not this product Review: I purchased this product with two goals in mind: to work out a bathroom remodel, and to plan a kitchen redesign. In the furniture section, there is one toilet and no double sink. In the kitchen, there are no sinks shown at all!! This is a joke. What furniture there is tends to "load" onto the page at funny angles rather than 45 degree angles so that it would fit in a square room. The developer is very fond of CD racks, though (the library furniture collection has more of these than anything else). Like another reviewer said, the walk through and 3-d is a neat feature (once you figure out how the heck to use it). But who wants to do a walk through of an empty box??????? Old fashioned graph paper and a pencil would do you much better. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Socked in the Eye Review: I can't believe what I paid for this .... For starters, the graphics were horrible, the so-called textures and fabrics even worse. Just maneuvering in this thing was a vertigo-ridden nightmare. You'd think a bunch of pre-kindergarteners conspired and put this thing together. On second thought, I think they'd have done a lot better. Then again, the brand name says it all--if you buy this thing you're surely gonna take a PUNCH! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Try something else Review: This program isn't too bad for drawing floor plans - as long as it stays running without crashing long enough to get something done. This program crashed a lot on my computer (500mhz athlon w/ 256MB memory and Win 98se) The color chip selection is a joke with only a couple dozen colors. Stairways have to be made in their funiture creation tool (a nightmare). I didn't waist any time replacing this program with something else. Get a program that you can specify RGB colors for walls, a real staircase tool, and doesn't crash every 10 minutes. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Understanding,experience and authority Review: Power Over Panic is written with the authority of great experience in treating anxiety disorders AND with the compassion and understanding of someone who's been there.She has.This was the first book I found that talked "to" me and not just "about" me,as I went through the most bewildering and frightening experience of my life. Bronwyn Fox is also one of the few writers who has a great depth of knowledge of dissociation (feelings of unreality,feeling out of body)that so often continue to frighten the anxious person.If you need to be reassured before buying her book check out The Panic and Anxiety Hub on the web and read about her workshops and simple (but not easy)methods of recovery. I'm making real progress with Power Over Panic and I highly recommend it as a stand alone book or in conjuction with professional treatment or other self help methods (Dr. Claire Weekes is another good one!).Thank You Bronwyn Fox!

Yes

All the animals are cleverly concealed. My daughter loves to yell "BOO" each time she lifts the flap. The illustrations in this book are perfect for a little one. My 20 month old makes me read it again and again. The one drawback is that this is not a hard cover book, which is why I subtracted a star. Answer:
Yes
