Review title: not what I expected Product review: I can't say anything about the performance of this product because I never installed it in my helmet. I didn't care for the look of the speakers so I didn't bother to install them.

Review title: unexpected japan Product review: Bird provides a view of Japan that was unknown to outsiders in that day, and is little known to us today. The scenes she descibes of the interior of Japan would scarecly entice today's traveler; which makes her adventures all the more intriguing. Her extensive knowledge of history and botany enhances the drama; however, had she incuded a glossary of terms, as well as the common names of flora it would have sped my reading as I had to repeatedly refer to dictionaries and botanic references. Her ethnocentrism is revealed as she describes the natives of the area; a pracctice that would be frowned upon today. Never-the-less I look forward to reading more of her works.

Review title: The Pact by Jodi Picoult (reviewed by Mary-Lynn Janssen) Product review: This was one of those stories that had me reading late into the night. I couldn't put it down.In typical Jodi Picoult style, the story moves through time not in linear fashion, but in past and presentwoven together to create a suspenseful and unpredictable plot.One of the things I liked most about the novel is that it involves courtroom litigation. I enjoythe dance of prosecutor vs. defense attorney. As always in our legal system, it is not so much a matterof guilt or innocence, but of reasonable doubt. The fact that it is a likeable young man whose fate is at stake makes it all the more compelling.I read this book on my Kindle. As much as I love my Kindle, I wish I had the book in my hands so that I could have easily gone back to previous pages. As the story unfolds, the meanings of passages written in previous chapters spring to life.I am currently reading Salem Falls, another novel by this same author. So far, another page turner!
