Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: This book has some good information, but is poorly written and fails to explain much about what is going on in the tutorials. With Macromedia's commitment to quality products, I'd expect something much better to bear the name "Training From the Source."There are MANY typos and grammatical errors. Did anyone proofread this thing?The book is not all bad, however. I learned a lot from it, but felt like too much was left out. Simple, basic concepts were explained repeatedly, but some of the more important stuff had little to no explanation. Tutorials instruct you to do or write certain important things, without explaining why, or what is going on.Overall, I think the book is worth about half the cover price. For more in-depth explanation, check out any of the Russell Chun Flash books. His "Flash Advanced" goes together well with this book. Answer:

Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: I read the reviews here and still tried one at Costco. Beware! The reviews here are accurate! I plugged it in, put a brand new DVD in it, and the thing started making a sound like a circular saw and not reading the disk. I assumed the unit was off balance (never had this happen with a DVD player before, despite working in a pawnshop for 10 years and handling thousands of different DVD players). The balance problem ended up being remedied by placing a small object on the right side of the player. This unit seems to have been designed to be sitting on an absolute perfectly flat surface and since mine was very slightly uneven, it caused problems. Even after eliminating the buzz saw nice, the player froze several times through two different DVDs. It's going back to Costco tonight. Please do yourself a favor and consider a different player. It's a shame to see Toshiba DVD players turning sour like this....they used to make such great players for the money. Answer:

Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: I purchased this book based on the strength of its high review scores. I'll be more careful in the future and spend time reading the negative reviews as well. I find this style of teaching to be tedious and distracting. I much prefer teaching that is brief and to the point.As someone has already pointed out - you'll either love it or hate it. Answer:

Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: I saw Spider Legs at a surplus department store. 4 bucks for a Piers Anthony? Yes!...I want my four dollars back. Weak plot...check that, STUPID PLOT. A mad scientist with big teeth creates an aquatic killer the size of an elephant and no one has even a hunch? No prototypes? No middle-sized killers. Nope. We go straight from the drawing board to a horrible monster of the deep that even has a captain's cabin on board so our mad scientist can go a-riding in her creation. I wonder what she used for the stereo onboard. I'm not sure XM radio would work.And worse than the plot are the insipid characters. Too much time spent on the convenient love connection. And c'mon...two experienced cops board a ship with the express intention to find a elephant sized killer...and they only bring pistols???Horrible horrible horrible. Answer:
