Is this product review positive? Title: Whoa!!!! Review: In short I would describe this cd as great, but it goes much deeper then that. Death Cab for Cutie's best album ever by far, will have you singing amazing lines at work, school, or in the car. The catchy beats, lyrics, and sounds will keep you entranced in what seems to be a ride into heaven. If your a DCFC fan or are just looking for a great cd, "Transatlanticism" is what you have been searching for. This cd will remain in your cd player for long stretches of time. So do yourself a favor and buy this cd. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A Great Album Review: This follow up to the spectacular Photo Album has just as many great moments and catchy songs. I find myself inexplicably singing along with nearly every Death Cab for Cutie song I hear, and the ones on this album are no different. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: ungh Review: If you morons can't even learn to type (this goes for all bands, not just DCFC) how dare you even try to review an album? Most of you can't grasp proper language skills, let alone appreciate good music. This is album is great. Ben is a top notch song writer and his versatile style can crossover to many genres of music. Shame on all of you. Not only for being f'ng retards but for not understanding good music. Hey, I heard the STROKES show just let out why don't you go and try to slam some of their denim clad groupies, poseur? Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: One Word Sums it Up: Disappointing Review: I'm not one of those fan of music who kiss their death cab collections goodnight. I find them to be highly over-rated, but in the eyes of many hooded sweatshirt wearing emo (whatever that means) fan they are worthy of a Sunny Day Real Estate level of praise. Yes, I know how touching Ben Gibbard's lyrics can be and the words are huge improvement on that of those on the Postal Service CD. But there is more to music then the poetry a vocalist sings it is also about instrumentation. "So This is the New Year, and I don't feel any different." What a great way to start of an album, if only it didn't sound as though it belonged on the new Blink-182 record. The heavy distortion and high pitched (even for Ben) vocals through me off guard. The whole album just doesn't seem to flow and rather quickly I lose interest and find myself reaching for something else. Maybe I'll give it one more chance, but unless I have a revolution it's going on Ebay. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: don't get what you order Review: If you order this you will receive 5 small suction cups, it wasn't a mistake there is something wrong with this item and the item number, because what I received had the right item number on it, also after you order it, the picture that appears in "your account" "my orders" is a picture of 5 small suction cups. And its difficult to return, if you try to do it online it just sends you on a never ending loop, had to contact Amazon's customer support, you've been warned Answer:

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Wonderfully enhanced with full scale descriptions Review: I was at Liberty Bible Camp recently. There, I first heard Muriel Larson's beutiful words and devotions. My cabin counselor would turn to a page in the Bible, so would my four cabinmates and I. Then we would take turns telling reading the verses until she asked us to stop. Then, she would conclude with the highlight of the day, letting us guess the flower and reading about it. As with the Lily of the Valley she states she was marveling over the sweet scent and beautiful white bells. I agree whole-heartedly. I rate this book 5 stars, and hope you will read it and see for yourself the beauty this little book holds. Answer:
Yes

No
Is this product review positive? Title: There's something is extremely awful here Review: Julianne Moore plays Sarah Miles! I never liked her and now I really hate her. She played with one of my favorite actor and her acting was just bad. She didn't understand that kind of emotion completely and she tried to cheat audience, and herself, maybe. These Americans...oh......she even didn't know how to walk and sit down. These girls are really interesting...like Uma Thurman, she was afraid of him, instead of being attracted to him. They didn't have something to help them to face some people. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: another superior movie with ralph fiennes Review: a wonderful moving film with today,s most outstanding actor,ralph fiennes. you wil be a part of this sensual grahmn greene's novel. a must for any dedicated movie lover. a beautiful film Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: overwrought melodrama Review: The End of the Affair is a shallow, period piece capturing the heightened emotions and danger of WWII London during the blitz. The main story is the love affair between Ralf Fiennes and Julianne Moore which inextricably develops during a meeting at a dinner party. Each of the charachters seems to be familiar as they are never fully developed in the movie - the angry writer, the reserved diplomat, the amoral yet ultimately devout object of their affection. No new ground is covered here except for some of the explicit sexual imagery, which while pandering to the audience detracts from the seriousness of the movie and subject matter. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great film....two illicit lovers in wartime London Review: Watching The End of the Affair, a 1951 novel composed by Graham Greene, provided a unique new perspective of World War II England. The book presents the relationships of two illicit lovers, and a jealous husband. Using these characters to depict life during World War II England, Graham Greene is able to demonstrate what an emotion-filled era this was. Filled with strong characters and vivid descriptions, this film was enjoyable because it gives new insight into an era of history that I find fascinating, Europe throughout World War II. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Boring romance with a twist ending. Review: Ralph Fiennes once again suffers in doomed passion - as he didin THE ENGLISH PATIENT. This time he's thrown over for a reason thatmight have been a shocker in the fifties but comes as an unconvincing spiritual conviction at the turn of the milennium. The Cinematography was Oscar nominated as was Julianne Moore's leading performance - neither deserved in my estimation. The film is rather leaden and tacky looking - one wonders why anyone thought it would be interesting to today's audiences. The one overlooked gem is Stephen Rea's supporting performance - he does a wonderful job making a bore actually appealing. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: An Utter Disappointment Review: I honestly can't believe I sat through this whole movie and for anyone who hasn't seen it- DON'T! This is nothing like The English Patient romance that I thought it would be. There is no chemistry at all between the two leads- Ralph Fiennes and Julianne Moore. In fact, there seems to be no emotion at all- certainly no love or jealousy as the dialogue would suggest. Instead, this is simply an excuse to put pornography on movie screens. The graphic sex in this movie is absolutely disgusting, not to mention the purposeless nudity. The entire movie is just really bad. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: close your eyes! Review: Way too much nudity. Julliane Moore is a big star these days, what with Hannibal and all, but all I can think of when I hear or see her is this movie, and I'm completely turned off. As a matter of fact, I couldn't even finish watching the movie. Maybe it got better, but it didn't matter because I couldn't watch anymore. Spare your eyes. Rent something less graphic. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Good for not great Review: I liked it but it's probably not one that I'll view more than once - a bit long at some parts and not the best acting on their part either! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great direction hampered by lackluster story Review: This would have been a great love story if it hadn't been so serious. I could hardly wait for the next appearance of the excessively courteous private dick because he was such a relief from the one-note monotony of the Fiennes-Moore love affair. And somebody's gotta explain to me the husband's bewildering actions and motivations throughout the film. It's a shame the film wasn't better because the premise of the film is intriguing and I thought Jordan's direction was top-notch, particularly with his handling of flashbacks and alternate points-of-view. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: I can't believe I sat through the whole thing. Review: The movie starts off with a good concept. Ralph Fiennes in a WWII love story. This should have been a good movie. It was neither a love story nor a good movie. The plot was hard to follow. It was a movie about nothing. And if it's a movie about God then what's with the sex? The sex was one step below porno! Even though the actors were wonderful and the costumes and music beautful that can't save this poor example of a movie. Answer:
No

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: This movie is WRONG Review: I sincerely dislike, detest this movie.... The explicit scenes in the movie are unnecessary and disturbing. The story line needs more developement. The movie would be better if the makers stuck to the novel more closely. -- the Dialogue is very crude. The choice of Jullian Moore as the lead role was WRONG. I would not have minded it, had it not been for her phoney accent and false face.-- Disapointed Ralph Fiennes fan Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Mediocre movie, terrible adaptation Review: As a standalone piece of art, the 1999 version of The End of the Affair is passable, though forgettable. Julianne Moore and Stephen Rea are very good. However, Ralph Fines is strangely wooden throughout. As an adaptation of one of Graham Greene's finest novels (and one of his "Catholic" novels), this movie largely misses the point. Greene was able to cram far more into his 150 page novel (virtually a novella) than got conveyed by this star studded movie. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A Woeful Affair Review: There is a (hopefully) intended irony at the beginning of the film when Bendrix takes Sarah to the cinema to see a film version of his book and apologises for the fact that it is nothing like what he has written. This screenplay is so far from the original novel that Neil Jordan should be shamefaced in even admitting it is based on it. The only saving grace of the film is Julianne MOore who is excellent, but in every other respect and for the real story and depth behind the betrayal felt by Bendrix then the book must be the only choice. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not if You Really Love Graham Greene .... Review: I love Graham Greene, and, since college, have probably read End Of The Affair a dozen times. I looked forward to this film and was impressed by the cast chosen to perform in this film. What a dud!!! I nearly went to sleep ..... Fiennes appeared ill the whole time and everyone else seemed like they couldn't wait to just go home. Terrrrribly dull. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: So syrupy sweet I almost got a toothache Review: I love romance but this film is too sappy by half. Fiennes and Moore's performances completely turned me off and this had to be the most transparent plot I've ever seen. While I usually love corny or romantic stories to distraction, this whole production turned me off. Maybe I'll check out the original version to see if I'd like that one better. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Everyone should have a Tak Wing in their life!! Review: This was my best book of the year and one of only two "ten" ratings I gave in '97. I want to know Tak Wing. Do you think he will move to Eugene, OR? Lucy thinks of herself as a failure but is a winner with every turn of the page. Suspenseful & delightful! I WISH this was the first in a series, HINT! HINT! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: This book was enjoyable to the end. Review: Ending up with a boss that makes people into paperweights certainly is a new career choice. My thanks to Charles Mathes. Everytime it seems as though Lucy had reached the end of her search the next chapter would add a new element to keep your interest. The treasure was a pleasure. I am patiently waiting Lucy and Tak Wing's return. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: You will want this book!!! Review: If you have ever had any interest in theatre, working with children, or children's theatre, you have to own this book. The 15 plays are great examples of the evolution of children's theatre! A must read! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointed with Quality Review: Like the reviewer from Sunnyvale, my Sabatier oblong baker has cracked. I used it once in a 350 degree oven (going into the oven from room temperature, no large stress for a ceramic baker); the baker emerged intact but with a deep diagonal crack across the center and small cracks spiderwebbing throughout the glaze. It is lovely, but absurdly fragile. I also purchased the covered casserole, but am now afraid to use it for anything other than serving. Stick with Le Creuset or Apilco, much more durable and a better investment for the money. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointed!! Review: I bought two of these, one somewhat smaller--and a perfect size, and this one. They were beautiful and a joy, but they have both cracked. One when I opened the oven door while baking stuffed shells, (cracked diagonally across one corner) and the other when basting a chicken I was roasting with hot broth, (cracked smack in half). At neither time were they subject to quick temperature changes, temperatures above 350 degrees, knocks, heavy weight, etc. A waste of money! I also bought the covered, round baker and have used it many times with no problems. perhaps it's a problem with the square shape. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Useless Review: Used this once in a 375 degree oven to cook a potroast and wound up with a pan in 2 pieces. It split completely in half! I would not buy another Sabatier stoneware item. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Still a very well rounded book. Review: This book is a significant improvement to the Flash 4 version. The content remains strong with a broad and strong foundation. The big improvement comes from a much more confortable layout and larger type. The new design is easier to follow, and will give anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of Flash almost all the tools they will need to produce good results in Flash Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: truely amature rewrite of lecture notes Review: I have been teaching flash since version 2 first came out, and have used many different books in different environments as course guides. This book is hands down the worst I have ever used to teach from. The examples are poorly organized, the section on OOP was just enough to confuse the students to the point of not wanting to learn OOP! Why in the world would a flash 5 book be relying on flash 4 syntax in over half its code? Tell target? Slash syntax? That stuff shouldn't even be IN this book. If I could start this semester over, I would spare my students the confusion and poor application of code that is the hallmark of this book. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Why all the positive reviews? Review: I got the book yesterday. I'm only about 130 pages into it so far, but the examples are poorly organized and lack sufficient step by step instruction to guide a novice through the materials. In spite of this, the author was able to fill over six hundred pages with paragraph after paragraph of overly wordy descriptions.Mohler makes too many assumptions about what students will be able to do and leaves them find out information on their own in the help files.I cannot recommend the book. Get Macromedia's courseware instead. Less fluff. Tastes great. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: This books sits in a dark closet Review: Want to learn flash? Get the FOUNDATION in Flash book. I ordered a couple of books for flash including this one. I though this would provide more detailed GRAPHICS and interactivity after the basics were learned. I opened this book, I then opened the Foundation in flash book, then proceeded to put this one away for future exploration. The Foundation in flash book was great, an ongoing project in each chapter to develop a flash site, tons of pictures and step by step instructions..etc.. I came back to this book and was amazed at how different, dull, and General it was. There really was no Special Graphics or interactivity here. The Foundation of flash book had more examples of actionscript and interactivity than this. So if your looking to learn flash, don't get this. If you want a reference book on basic flash with a little bit of actionscript that you want to keep in a dark closet to read again "Just Incase" you missed something, then, well this book is for you. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Worthless Review: I was in his Flash 5 course here at Purdue, and his book is almost as useless as his mullet-driven lectures. In both he drones on about totally irrelevant theories, while barely even talking about how to truly accomplish something useful in the real world...i Highly recommend the Flash 5 Bible over this book. Or you could just run through the help files, that's how i was forced to learn.If you're learning Flash 5 to be able to build a website, then don't buy this book...he seems to spend his time building Memory Games and Card Decks rather than a useful website example.Don't even get me started on the content of his exams...buy another book, or learn it on your own Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: different cover, same contents Review: If you have already bought a copy for Flash 4.0, don't ever pick up this book. What you'll get is what you already have gotten. Try an Actionscripting book instead. Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: Tissue paper Review: If you want some tissue to wipe you nose with then by all means order this. If you are looking for a hall runner as we were it is way to lite weight and thin to do the job. You can put it in the washing machine and wash it as we did hoping it would stiffen up a bit to make it useful but it is simply made out of thin and cheap material to be of any use. Wasted my money! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great for older dogs with unsteady legs Review: My big dog was getting up in age, and arthritis made him not so steady on his legs. He would lose his footing in wet weather on the kitchen tiles and wooden floors, to the point where he would hesitate and be very reluctant to walk across the kitchen and dining room even in dry weather. It was heart-breaking.Enter Carpet Savers! I ordered enough to cover all doggy walkways across the kitchen and dining room, and my old pal loved them! No more hesitating or unsteady steps. He's back to his old self running around the house. His comfort level has soared and it makes me smile to see him run for the back door but make a sharp right angle on the Carpet Saver pathways I have created. If you have an older pet with unsteady legs, Carpet Savers will be your pet's savior. Oh and the cats love them too. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Way Too Loose for Stairs Review: I bought this, after having been very pleased with a similar product purchased through Sky Mall. I am very disappointed in the way it does NOT cling to to carpeted stairs. The pile on the carpet is relatively even, and the runner wrinkles, bunches up, gaps, and is generally very unattractive and sloppy looking. I would not recommend this for stairs, even with a minimal amount of traffic. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: its okay Review: This product is just kinda okay. It does the job, but it doesnt have the "wow" factor. It does clean up easily, but it also traps dirt, making it get dirty easier too. It sticks to carpet, but because it is a soft material it moves easily. My pets are always piling corners of the rug or even moving it in the middle so it becomes a mess on the stairs. It is probably best to use it occasionally for protecting carpet when you know it will get dirty, then clean it immediately, instead of leaving it on regularly. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Stickly a temporary capet saver Review: This is by no means a "carpet" it's a piece of microfiber that sticks to the steps. I'm selling my house so for protecting the steps from traffic it works for looks it's awful. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: nice idea, but it doesn't work and looks cheap Review: It's a good idea, spend a little money and buy a washable stair carpet to preserve your own carpeted stairs. BUT, the carpet continuing falls off, gets bunched up in spots, and overall it looks cheap. It's not worth the price. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Solemn High Mass Review: Perhaps one of the most magnificent treasures of the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Use Church of Our Lady of the Atonement in San Antonio, TX boasts one of the most beautiful church buildings to built in the last 50 years, and an even more exquisite liturgy. This DVD is a wonderful sample of a typical Sunday Mass at Our Lady of the Atonement Church, glorious liturgy, wonderful music and superb preaching. These scattered parishes include the finest elements of Anglican and Roman Catholic worship in one beautiful and moving worship experience, and this DVD is a perfect record of Solemn High Mass celebrated with dignity and majesty, a perfect gift for any musician in the Roman Catholic Church. The only negative aspect to this DVD is that after watching and feeling a part of this sublime worship (the Rolls-Royce of liturgical celebration) many musicians will have to get back into their Chevrolets on Saturday night!

Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Misprint! :( :( Do Not Buy Review: This book was in perfect condition and had never been used. The downfall is that there is a repeat of Chapter 4 and NO Chapter 5. Had I known that the book had a misprint I never would have purchased it. It makes sense now that it was cheaper. I didn't realize it until the middle of the semester since that is when my professor assigned Chapter 5 to read. Of course the return deadline has past. I'm incredibly dissatisfied. :( Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: About as interesting as watching paint peel Review: This was the set text for a post-grad qual methods course I did. It gives a good coverage of the basics but it is horrible to read, boring and dull. Get Patton's book instead, more depth of coverage and actually enjoyable to read. My copies of Patton and Miles and Huberman are dog-earred with use after finishing my thesis and I am wishing I had bought my own copy of Rubin & Rubin as well as the Bilham book but this one I have never picked up since I finished the course. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Could have been better Review: From the perspective of a student, this book is incredibly boring. Sure, it covers the basics of qualitative research, but that is only good if you can actually force yourself to continue reading. Many of the students in my class did not understand some of the concepts in the book because they weren't explained well, so when I became the T. A. for the class that utilized this text book, I thought writing out vocabulary words and definitions would be helpful for the students. This small thing made a world of a difference! My problem with this book is that it presents many concepts that are difficult to completely grasp for those who are new to qualitative research, but it does not come with a glossary! How are the authors going to make it a point to highlight certain important words and not define them?! Many of these words are hardly explained in the text and not easily found online (unless you trust wikipedia) so a glossary would have helped. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Missing pages! Review: After highlighting in the book, thus cannot return, I noticed that the book is missing pages 99 through 130!

Is this product review positive? Title: Good stuff Review: From what I've read and used, the Ethyl Ester creatine is better for you than the monohydrate, primarily because it doesn't break down as quickly in liquids (allowing you to absorb more), and doesn't add as much water weight. I've used both and found the the pills are also much more convenient to take than mixing up powder and then slamming it down. I bought the PrimaForce solely because it was cheaper, as all creatines (and supplements for that matter) have the same stuff in them, so why pay more for a name/advertising; but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: A Browsers Delight But With One Important Defect Review: It's not for everyone, but if you have a couple of years of college-level math, you can find your way through most of the material. Open to a random page, see what's going on, if it grabs you, find the beginning of the presentation and plow right in. Hawking's biographical/historical pieces are a delight and worth buying the book for even if you don't do the math. How come I graded one of the greatest minds of our time only 80% (4 stars)? The damn book has no index and it drives me crazy. Because of this defect, it's a pain to try to tie the work of the great mathematicians together. You miss out on an entire layer of interest that could be developed so much more easily had their been an index. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Need an editor, couldn't agree more Review: I really want to give this book at least 4 stars as I love the idea of encapsulating those great mathematical breakthroughs in one book and giving each a proper account instead of over simplistic summaries like many other math readings do.HOWEVER, the errors contained in this book is intolerable. It doesn't make sense anymore to give those mathematical details as you can hardly follow them due to the errors.For example, on page 5 it prints:If (2^n - 1) is a prime number then 2^(n-1)*(2^(n-1)-1) is a perfect number and that even perfect numbers must have this form.it obveriously should be 2^(n-1)*(2^n - 1) instead of what has been printed. As other readers have suggested, you would expect more similar errors along the way.Don't buy this book and wait for the 2nd edition if the publisher ever want to make an effort to make this book readable. I'm so very disappointed. Answer:
No

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Very interesting material Review: The book consists of short introductions by Hawking each followed by a famous or important document. To me the introductions were at least as enjoyable and informative as the rest - to the point and interesting.The republished material is interesting on several levels. It shows the range of interests as well as the flights of imagination possible for world class mathematicians.WARNING: The republished material in the book (not the introductions) is printed with an extremely small font. it will be difficult to read for even those with the best eyesight. The book is good enough even with this problem to get 4 stars our of 5. Answer:
Yes

It's is smaller than the one that came with the box. It is a error from Amazon that suggests this particular filter for the model of the litter box that I have. Please be aware and check which Booda model you have before buying this filter. The filter that I had before works fine (that's why I'm giving five stars) and it really helps with the smell. Answer:
Yes

Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Worthless Things Review: I tried these, but the dome doesn't keep the filter in place so it's falling down into the litter! Grrrrrrr.I have put a dab of duct tape up there to hold the thing in place, and just rinse it, soak it with vinegar and put it out in the sun with the Booda and that's all that is needed each time I change the litter.

No

Is this product review positive? Title: A solid tea pot for one, but not without some flaws Review: This teapot is a decent the price. The teapot is about big enough for one nicely sized cup of tea, and the accompanying tea cup is about 10 ounces, and retains heat very well. It doesn't take up too much counter space, and looks pretty nice on display. The clean, white porcelain matches almost anything remarkably well.The only true complaints I have about this tea pot is the lack of an infusion basket or strainer on the spout (and the opening being at the top of the pot being too small to get a separate basket or tea ball), and the cusp tends to catch loose leaf tea, which can make it a pain to clean at times. The tea pot also drips, though it is a fairly small amount. All in all, this is a good teapot for the price, and great for that big cup of tea in the morning. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Cute teapot, wish it was slightly bigger Review: This is an extremely cute and functional teapot. I've had it for a few months and it's holding together. My only complaint is that I wish it fit a little more tea. The actual teapot holds enough tea for just over a cup so if you just fill up the pot, you have to go back again and again for water. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not academic Review: All the contradiction the author mention is not contradiction at all, there are many bible study books written can explain this with very convincing logic, however there are some real contradiction in deep meaning very hard to explain in the bible but the author never mention, those contradiction well known to any person study the bible seriously, in my opinion the author is not qualified to write in such a subject. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Would be great if it were true... Review: Mr. Burr brings up some great points. Unfortunatly, many of the "contradictions" he lists are not contradictions at all. For example, one "contradiction" Burr lists in his book involves the genealogies of Christ. In the New Testament, there are two genealogies of Christ. One is in the book of Matthew, chapter 1, and another in the book of Luke, chapter 3. If you look at them, they look completely different. They don't even agree on Jesus' grandfather. The fact is, however, that these lists are not contradictory, but instead complementary. The genealogy in Matthew is Joseph's family line, while the one in Luke is Mary's.There are many cases like these. The he doesn't back up his claims... Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: this book saved me! Review: I was dreading my required graduate course in statistics, and worried about the entrance exam I would have to take to get into the class, when a friend loaned me this book. In just a few weeks I had read 300+ pages and taught myself enough to pass the test. I am still referring to the book frequently (so much, in fact, that I'm ordering my own copy from amazon). It is a great book because it is so much easier to understand than the textbooks my professor is using in the class. Each concept is thoroughly explained in plain language, with good examples and practice exercises. I don't know what I would have done without this resource! Answer:
Yes

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: A well-crafted, visually interesting intro Review: I enjoyed this book quite a lot and was put off by some of the other reviews posted here. This is a concise history that is lavishly illustrated with photos, artwork, and pretty good maps. It balances military detail of the battle sequences with background details about the major players, soldiers' lives, weapons, etc. As a popular introduction, it has its share of anecdotes, some fanciful, but that wasn't a major distraction for me. It would be a decent introduction to the battle for someone with modest familiarity with the Civil War, but I would not give it to the average teenager, as suggested by another reviewer. I also thought that the treatment of Longstreet was not overly negative; read D. S. Freeman if you'd like to see a really negative treatment. I have read 6 other books on Gettysburg so far and was happy to make this the 7th. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: More of the Lost Cause Perspective.... Review: A fine addition to the many volumes on Gettysburg. Great photos, text. This is a fine addition to anyone's Civil War library with one glaring exception. Mr. Symonds's reasoning on why the Confederates lost the battle, laying the entire blame on James Longstreet is nothing more than a perpetuation of the Lost Cause/Myth and Legend interpretation of the Battle of Gettysburg. Nearly a word for word reiteration of Jubal Early's completely fabricated version of the events surrounding the Gettysburg campaign. The discerning historian will want to seek other volumes, other "versions" to obtain a more objective and accurate story. For those reading about the battle for the first time, I would not recommend this book. Again, a fine collection of photography from the period but the author needs to read a little more on what actually happened from primary sources and not base his text on what transpired in the 1870's! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great photo imagery with lousy historiography Review: Too bad the publisher could not have included text that would do justice to this volume's photo imagery. That is why for appearance and artistic design, the book rates 5 stars; however, for accuracy of historical text, Mr Symonds rates negative stars. The author advances so many myths (just two of the many horrendous myths advanced Mr Symonds are: 1) Longstreet is to blame for July 2 and; 2) Richard Ewell was given discretionary orders by Lee to pursue on July 1. Both are pieces of fiction that all too often repeated as fact) that the reader must simply consult many, more reliable texts on the battle.Need a coffeetable book to get someone's attention on Gettysburg? This will do it. Need a book to learn the facts about the battle? Don't open this one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Gettysburg Review: I read this before my 3rd trip to Gettysburg. Excellent resource for the 3 day battle. Very accurate when I compared it to other information available. Easy to understand and logically arranged. When a person is first mentioned, their picture or extra info is right there, you don't have to look for it. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Save Your Money Review: I purchased this item hoping for the best, but what I got was something worse. The material feels really nice, and that was the only thing nice about it. Once I got it in place I noticed while just standing there that the legs rolled right up to the crotch. For this reason I think the brief sells better. It is meant to be in the crotch. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Another Grimm fairy tale Review: This book contains every cliche in the litany of the standardized SS history. It paints a picture of the SS exactly as you learned about on the History Channel. It reads just as if he the author worked off the WW2 press reports out of the USSR. So, if you want to hear the same stories about the SS raping, pillaging, shooting their own officers and killing babies, this book is for you. It covers every part of the Western propaganda campaign except the lampshades. This might be the same guy who wrote the Sven Hassel series. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Archaic Writing Style Makes It Unreadable Review: I don't know if other writers from Terry's era wrote the same, but for someone in the present this book is terribly hard to read because of the writing style. Aside from this, of what I did manage to understand, I did not find the information in this book to be particularly enlightening. I was dissapointed over all the hoopla over it. I gladly sold my copy. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A Must Have Review: Absolutely incredible flick. Very powerful performances that gives extra depth and meaning to such a tumultuous time in the modern history of Ellada. This film should be a wake-up call to those of us in America, that the savage thuggery, rape and murder practiced by the Greek Communists, could very well happen here by the Obamunists and their left-wing union, ACORN, Black Panther bases.Sad and ironic that the Communists, now called PASOK, have taken control again in Greece.

Yes
