Review title: Fabricated myth, passing as fact Product review: The book is largely based on polemics, and Marco Polos sensuous tales of the Assassins.Modern scholarship has largely debunked the myths of pleasure gardens and presents a very different view of Hassan I Sabbah, and the Assassins.Read Farhad Daftary's "The Assassin Legends: Myths of the Isma'ilis", for a better understanding.

Review title: Great Book...After The First 150 Pages... Product review: I am delighted that I "stayed with" this book, because I found it weighty, plodding and slow for quite awhile. It redeemed itself beautifully, though, in the last several chapters. Surprising, memorable, provocative and a really good choice for a book group (I'll be recommending it to mine!).

Review title: Perfectly designed bath boy Product review: I read the reviews on Amazon and decided to purchase this bath toy for my son for the hoildays. It seemed a little expensive for a bath toy honestly but the quality is great and I didn't want another crappy bath toy that would break in a month. This toy is so perfectly designed and there are so many well thought out and designed features of this little toy, it's great. The sail in the middle is also a flute and my son (16 months) has now figured out how to blow the flute and loves playing with it. He also loves seeing the 3 little people/animals that come with it bounce/float up and down in the bath. He will even sneak into the bathroom during the day to play with this toy when he's not even in the bath - overall terrific toy and totally worth the price! I imagine this would also make a great gift for a 1 year birthday present.

Product review: "A Dream Goes on Forever: The Continuing Story of Todd Rundgren" is a dense, informative look at the early career of Todd Rundgren that contains copious amounts of fascinating anecdotes and facts that any Todd fan will find illuminating. The problem with it is that it is disorganized, repetitive and contains more typos and bad sentence constructs than a fith grader's book report. I had read this criticism before I bought it and everything I read is true. If it is ever reprinted, it could use the services of a good editor or at very least a proofreader.From a content perspective, the book contains a lot of interesting facts and interviews and is obviously well-researched with a lot of love. Todd comes off as the Tortured Artist with a bent toward career self-destruction but for long-time fans like myself, that's not news. It is definitely a great buy for TR fans but don't expect a polished piece of work just an enjoyable one.
