Title: A thoughtful comment on Silas Marner Review: Silas Marner is a classic Eliot tale which combines comments on morality and religion in a fascinating narrative of life in England during the HeyDay of artisan industry.Truly a story which is as effective in commenting on the religious quandries of a man whose honesty and integrity were not believed by a church hierachy as it is on theeveryday affections of a father and his daughter. Silas is a modern-day tragic hero, with a twist; his tragedy is turned into a fairytale wonder, and the rich nobility ofthe Cass family (the local Squierarchy) have tragedy and sadness.This book is important reading for anyone interested in starting out with Eliot, and more so as a powerful and moving story from which everyone can learn! Silas is not abook which will simply be read once. You will want this hard cover edition to keep in a prominent place on your library shelf so that you'll be able to readit time and time again without damage!Have fun and enjoy.Phillip Miller Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Iron Jane? Review: Another reviewer suggested reading Warren Farrell instead. I suggest reading Robert Bly's "Iron John" instead -- to get a line on what men think without going through a middle(wo)man. Bly said everything Faludi said, said it better, and said it ten years ago. Where has she been? Oh, right: attending men's meetings and ridiculing them. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Not for Everyone Review: Too many people are panning this book who didn't even read the entire thing or skimmed past portions of it. These are probably the same people who review films before they are released. I avoided this book for the longest time, because I figured that a book about being lost at sea would be extremely boring. However, the reviews at Amazon were so good, I finally caved in and read it. The forward gave me much hope. I found parts extremely funny (Indians speaking a strange English using words like "Bamboozled"). However, the book turned into exactly the kind of boring "lost at sea" tale I feared. Although the ending did have an interesting twist (and a hilarious portion involving two Japanese investigators), the work of getting there was not worth it. Some people loved this book, and I do not discount their opinions or ratings. However, if you're like me and you dread the boredom of a shipwreck story, you may want to avoid this book.

Title: Just another example of "Christian" music erosion Review: Reliant K is the latest in the "we can't get a real record deal so let's try and call ourseleves a Christian band" junk that is available. Their music is fluff and their lyrics are less than weak. It is impossible to find the message of Christ in most of their lyrics and their parading as anything other than a garage band that got lucky and got a contract is a joke. There are legitimate punk/rock/whatever bands in Christian music (like Philmore, This Train, etc.) that are much more worth your time and money. Reliant K is anything but reliable! In the words of their popular hit I can only hope that Marilyn Manson will eat this group! Is the review positive or negative?
