Title: Eye and ear-opening jourrney through Punk's roots. Review: What I learned was the all you need to make rock n roll is "three chords and the truth".Great music, great artists, terrific filmmaking.If you're into punk rock, you'll love it. If not -see it anyway - you'll never hear the music of think of these rockers in the same way again.Funny, smart, joyous, occaisonally sad and, most important - it really rocks.

Title: Good at first...but doesn't last long Review: I'll admit this review is a little dated since this product isn't in the market anymore, but I was shocked to see how many GOOD reviews it had. I've had this laptop for a little over three years now, and since then, I've gone through two hard-drives with another about to die, and the cd-burner/dvd-rom hasn't worked well since about the second month of purchase. I've never gotten any games (even the low-end graphics ones) to work on here. It also seems like this system is highly vulnerable to viruses. I don't think that is just due to windows because I have other windows systems that have not had near as many viruses as this one. I think the only thing that's had me keeping this system is the floppy drive, since the newer computers don't have those.If for some reason you are thinking of buying this product: DON'T! You won't get great tech support on it and you'll just gain more frustrations. Is the review positive or negative?
(A).
Negative

Title: Surreal, Sad Story (and way too long!) Review: Lovely writing but the story is beyond bizarre. As others have noted, the short story - the first section of the book - is by far the best. The many characters are all self absorbed, morbid and slightly (or mostly) crazy. The Civil War camp and battle scenes offer poignant realism in what otherwise is an overly long trudge through endless introspection, depression, personal alienation and grief. These themes, expressed by numerous characters, are so repetitive that I finally just gave up and skipped to the end - which I personally did not find redeeming. A promising writer, certainly, but I agree with those who have said that this should have remained a powerful short story rather than a hopelessly morbid and convoluted novel.
