Title: Just too much going on Review: Have you ever read a book where you just loved the plot, the idea of where the story could go, but then just found it so complicated that it wasn't an enjoyable read? Sadly, I found myself skimming through alot of this book just to get to the end. I mean, I really did want to see how it would end, it was just so much work to get there. There was just too many characters to keep track of, characters that were not central to the whole storyline and it just made the whole story muddled and over-complicated. While I truly like the central figure of Laura Cardinal, I just had a difficult time with everyone else....I agree with some of the other reviews that there were also just too many storylines going and and it just became a jumbled mess for me. I always had trouble picking up where I left off. I think the author needs to trim down all the 'extras' that really were not necessary to the story. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: So If I'm A Jerk Do I Get To Live In Perpetuity, Too? Review: Okay, folks. Let's get real. This movie/book is essentially about the insipid sexuality of three spoiled brats with soulful eyes, zero body fat, and no moral compasses. Worst of all, there's no search for the compasses. Why is this exhibition of unbridled existential selfishness so popular? Because the protagonists are European-and "misunderstood" quasi-intellectuals to boot. Translation: culturally paranoid Yanks just eat this kind of lean cuisine right up. If you're the type who likes being hungry 15 minutes after eating, don't miss this movie or "The Sheltering Sky," mind-numbing fare featuring filthy rich American "seekers" ransacking the blistering desert (or desert tray) for spiritual bargains that won't make them too heavy with self knowledge.

Title: The Zenith of French Popular Music Review: Gainsbourg was an artist who experimented with all styles of music. Through his career, he put together a great number of fantastic singles. But this album is his great masterpiece.There aren't any megahits. The most well known tracks: 'Ballade de Melody Nelson' and 'Ah, Melody' are first rate songs, but it's absolutely criminal to separate them from the rest of the album.Clocking in at just under 30 minutes, "Histoire de Melody Nelson" flows as one poignant tale of Melody Nelson. The music itself was far ahead of it's time; listen to these songs and then listen to Air and Beck. While the great orchestrations and melodies should be enough to sate the appetite of many non-francophone listeners, it is truly the lyrics that lift this album to timeless stature. Gainsborg was a poet to French song the way Dylan is to American song. This album is his finest hour, not to be missed by anyone interested in greatness in popular music.
