Title: A Great book to use in conjunction with studio Pilates Review: This book is a very good one to use if you are doing regular studio pilates with an instructor. I am really emphatic that form is critical and this book is a useful reminder of the sequence of exercises once the precise form issues are explained by your instructor. For relatively experienced pilates students it provides useful guides to establish a home-based routine to support work with your instructor. Recommended. Is this product review negative?

Title: Get the updated version of this book Review: This book was written over the course of one summer. That, alone, is an incredible feat. But the book is not user friendly. It is written in encyclopedic form. It is written in descriptive (old style) notation. It is hard to follow the lines of notation, as little guidence is given to the reader if he is in the main variation or a subvariation.In order to squeeze in as many words as possible, the book is extremely dense in terms of presentation. There is hardly any blank space in the margins of this book. It's a forboding book to study from.That being said, it's an excellent book. However, McKay has republished this book recently (2004). The new edition is revised by GM Pal Benko, an authority on endgames. The notation is updated from descriptive to algebraic. The layout in the new book is not as dense as this book.So, no one should buy this book; thus the poor rating. Buy Benko's revision of this book. Is this product review negative?

Title: Good Content but Bland Visuals and Presentation Review: I love beautiful cookbooks printed on quality paper with artfully presented and photographed foods, no matter how simple. This isn't one of them. Although there are a few color photos in the center of the book the rest of the pictures are in black and white and many of them are of Bobby Flay in numerous poses and his name in large print on the side of every page. The content is straight forward with easy to follow instructions.Bobby Flay is a wonderful, creative chef but the visual presentation of his cookbook does not match his talents.

Title: Not So Much Review: I was very dissapointed with this book. I bought two because my girlfriend and I read a story together every night, but this book left us wondering how the story was actually a love story. These stories can hardly be considered of love, two or three of them are kinda nice, but most have depressing endings involving rejected proposals or mostly death. Dont be confused by the word love in the title, since its not what the stories are about. Is this product review negative?
