Title: An attempt at something it is not. Review: This is not a horrible book - it's just not a particularly good one either. The book did not engage me and I never found it particularly interesting or insightful. I had expected to learn something about Tibetan Buddhism, but I did not learn much.Swanson seems to want to mix the genre of travelogue with interspersed chapters that attempt to wax eloquently on Buddhism. I found that he was not particularly successful in this and as a result it made the book disjointed.This is a short book and a quick read, so you won't waste much time if you do decide to read it....I just don't think I would recommend it to my friends.

Title: Paper airplane book Review: I bought this for my grandson. I had previously bought him another book of paper airplanes, but they were so complicated it was hard for him to figure out how to assemble them. This one, while enough of a challenge to be interesting, was not so difficult. He was able to put together the planes, and had a good time making and flying them. They had lots of fun and colorful designs, like a "pizza slice" plane. The book is well worth the pricel Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Modern, but not dissonant Review: Catch this album if you are interested in modern classical music! Each one of the pieces has a unique lyrical beauty all its own. Each is impeccably played by this fine ensemble. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Magic Mic Review: I bought this as a gift for a 4 year old girl. She loves to make up songs, as most kids her age, and she just loves this. It's not electronic and it doesn't need batteries at all. Works fine, it uses echo, so it's not too noisy for the parents. Even her 6 year old brother is having fun with it. I think it's as close to a bullhorn as they will ever get. One hopes. Great price too. (It was on sale when I bought it). It doesn't look too durable as it is made of plastic, but we shall see. If it last more than 6 months, I will re-rate it for 5 stars. :-) Is the review positive or negative?
