Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Analyzing the Patterns Looking for Common Threads Review: The common threads running through this little work are that spirit and handwork are entwined.There are home truths in the book that I have discovered in my own experience. One of the most fascinating is how the hands remember what the head has forgotten. Women tell me they haven't knitted or crocheted in decades, yet they begin to work as soon as I put yarn and needles in their hands.The repetition of movement in knitting and also of crochet is beneficial as a mantra, reducing stress, inducing a nearly trancelike state, and making time stand still. Laborare est orare. Work is prayer. Indeed.Yes, it's addictive. Ah well. There are destructive habits and constructive habits.My home is full of book and yarn and friends. Some of my friends share both addictions with me. And with Susan Gordon Lydon as well. We trade books and patterns and help and praise. And I have already given one of my friends this lovely little book. Answer:

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: I Bought Two - and they BOTH came with dead batteries Review: Purchased two in August 2005. The manufacture date label reads Feb 2005, so they're reasonably new. The batteries won't take a charge. Both are dead as doornails right out of the box. This jibes with my (after the fact) product research that shows common battery failures. I bought them on impulse, on sale, at a big-box retailer At Which I Aim to shop a lot. I will be returning them next trip there. Answer:

Negative

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Poor writing, little factual support Review: I was really disappointed in this book. I'm not sure why my expectations were high, but I live in Atlanta and I vaguely remember this case. While I know little of Elaine Brown, I can say for sure she can't write and her thinking is muddled and hystrionic. I don't doubt her passion for the subject matter, but I found her theme difficult to factually support. Michael Lewis grew up in horrible conditions, no question, but her theory of a set-up or his victimization just made no sense. Skip this. Answer:
**Answer**
Negative
