Review title: Could not finish Product review: I was not expecting this to be great literature or anything, but I at least thought it might be a breezy, fun summer read. I was wrong. This book is SO tedious. I found myself skipping entire sections, hoping that the story would pick up. It never did, and I finally put it down around page 50 or so. Powell is just not a good writer at all. Blogging about dinner is probably right up her alley as a writer. I saw the movie which was thankfully much, much better. The movie took out all the parts of the book that just didn't do anything for me, like her brother "Heathcliff" and her dad's birthday dinner. As a reader, you wonder why she includes all that stuff. It just seemed like "filler" to me.

Product review: Just finished it for the first time. Really liked it and my heartrate was up and I was definitely sweating. Went by very fast. Only complaint would be I wish there was alittle more arm toning. Other than that it was great and definitely make it's way into my DVD rotation.

Review title: Simply Stupid & Slanderous Product review: "They're a bunch of political hacks who only care about smearing John Kerry and propping up George W. Bush," said a source close to the Bush campaign who is insufferably pleased with how gullible and stupid the Swift Boat group has turned out to be, and only spoke on condition that his name not be used. "Boy, are they fools. We are slashing veterans benefits left and right in the next budget once the President gets re-elected. And these suckers are doing our dirty work for free!"The Kerry campaign refused to comment, citing more important issues like the continuing problematic occupation in Iraq, spiraling health care costs, insufficient job creation, and a ballooning federal budget deficit, that are occupying the candidate and the campaign's time."
