Review title: Terrible Book Product review: This is the absolute worst mathematics book that I have ever attempted to use. I would rather stick my head in a vise than try to learn anything from this book. Here are the four of the worst offenses:1. The book is not self-contained. One must constantly refer to other books to work the exercises. Write a complete book next time, jerk.2. If "mathy" were a word, it would describe this book. Where are the applications? You won't find anything practical here. Boring!3. How about some examples? That would be nice. Unfortunately, examples are few and far between. Think water in the desert.4. How about some organization? Nope, you won't find it in this book. It will lope along for several sections, then "Boom! Here are some random exercises. Good luck! I hope you've understood everything perfectly until now, cause this is comprehensive, baby!"This book is required for my class or otherwise I would throw it into a cesspool. When I'm finished with my class that's just what I will do.

Ans:decrease

Review title: Delonghi AD1079B -Very Attractive/Impressive Oven Product review: Received this oven yesterday (8-30-02). Used it to broil rib steaks for dinner (2). My husband and I were delighted with the results. Steak cooked perfectly and extremely tender - worth it just for the broil results. Also baked sausage and roasted peppers today with very good results.Very convenient and easy to use controls, easy to clean, and fits nicely on top level of microwave cart. Haven't baked with it yet but, based on the broiling and roasting results thus far, I can't imagine being dissapointed with this oven. Attractive and very well built oven that does what the manufacturer says it will. Totally pleased and recommed it highly.UPDATE: 9/10 -- have now used oven to bake cake and cookies...the more I use this appliance the more I like it... want a small oven that works great.. don't hesitate to buy it!

Review title: AMAZING SOUND, bad wiring. Product review: Skullcrushers are like an orgasm for your ears. The sound quality rocks and the bass is unreal! When I have them on i hear very little outside noise (like maybe muffled sounds, but nothing you can really make out), but with little volume the outside world is completely gone! They're great at the gym and work great if you're in a public place and want to zone out in your own world. A must buy if you're a music enthusiast! The only problem i have with them is that the wiring went bad after a few months. if i hold the wire that plugs into whatever i'm playing music out of just right i can hear them just fine. Otherwise, the sound cuts in and out if that. Either way, i still highly recommend these!
