Review title: A little on the fluffy side Product review: Although "Hyperspace" is fairly easy to read, and does have some interesting ideas in it, it's a little light on the science compared to other books I've read. That might be due to the fact that the subject matter is still in the theoretical stage. But, still, much of the book is anecdotal and many of the analogies used to explain the main theories are repetitive and off-subject. Plus, the book (and the information inside) is pretty out of date. Kaku often refers to things that might happen by the year 2000. This book is more useful for light reading than for really learning about unification theories and multi-dimensional universe models.

Product review: Ever heard the term "stream of consciousness"? Basically, it means the author started writing whatever came to mind and just kept on writing - no rhyme or reason to any of it. Well, that's how I would describe Pandora. I was thoroughly disappointed. I can only hope that this book was a necessary intro to more to come. Maybe it's one of those books you have to read twice to understand - I don't know. I DO know that I didn't like it the first go round. Rice's last couple of books seemed like an attempt to fulfill a contract and sadly, this one is in the same category. I expected a LOT better.

Review title: Oodles and Oodles of kinky postmodernist love Product review: Wow, there are things I really loved about this movie. Turning the love story into a kinky, sexy, controlling, postmodern, postcolonial version of Americana in the workplace. It makes you want to roll over and get your butt slapped. Until the end that is. Then the filmmakers tank the whole film by forcing it to fit within the boring Hollywood convention of a love story. They even use reporters in the film, not to make a statement on our over powering draw to the media (especially to see the foreign and uncomfortable), but to make the interviewee's statement grounded in normality. It's a fantastic movie if you don't watch the last half hour....
