Review title: Can we trust this author Product review: I almost bought this book, but after reading the review from FrKurt Messick, (a 5 start positive review of this book), I was intrigued to also order "The Mother Tongue" by the same author, for my wife (a spanish teacher). However, when I read the reviews of "The Mother Tongue", I found numerous linguists stating that the author had made numerous, inexcusable factual mistakes and he stated controversial concepts as facts. To me, an author who does this in one book, should not be trusted to tell us true, factual information on "The History of Nearly Everything" (a much more challenging book).

Review title: Terrible Product review: This is by far the worst romantic "comedy" I have ever seen. There is no depth to any character, everyone is selfish and by the end you are just happy that it is over and don't care what happens to these women.

Review title: Holst: The Planets Product review: The performance is great and the recording is good. The problem (for me) is I didn't notice it was a casette, vs. a CD. It never occurred to me I might find a casette recording on Amazon that did not make it abundantly clear it was, in fact, a casette. Of course, I wanted a CD and, after having perused the available recordings was delighted to have found that particular one. I just wish you had made it unmistably clear it was a casette.
