Review title: Doesn't last long Product review: I bought this product less than two years ago and was very pleased with it's performance. It worked very well until the internal thermostat broke. It began as a burnt smell while I was routinely ironing, then it burnt my ironing board cover. I tried self cleaning it then let it cool down. When I tried using it again, the yellow light blinked off and on but the iron never heated up again. Rowenta customer service told me the internal thermostat was broken and the iron would have to be shipped for repair, at my expense. No thank you. An iron at this price should last more than two years.

Review title: Eye-Opening Read Product review: This book is very eye-opening if you are willing to look into yourself and accept some basic concepts. Obviously if you choose to read this, you are seeking out answers that you haven't yet found and you will identify with different portions of this book, depending on where you are in your journey. I did find the pain-body concept extremely helpful in my own understanding and many of the issues related to how children grow from dysfunctional parents. So much of the book is written like a psychology text while other sections come off like a spiritual reading. Metaphorically, some images very much resonated with me and this is one of those books that I know I will re-read probably after I let it sink in a bit. I think the overall message is powerful, aside from the hype and if we all took the time to find out what is behind our anger, resentment and jealousy so that we can start living from our true Being, we would all be much happier as a society!

Review title: What has happened to the series I got hooked on? Product review: I agree with most of the low rated reviews of this book. The sex stuff doesn't bother me like some people, but that seemed to be all there was to this book. Plus the whole book takes place in really a few days with mention that 2 weeks or so goes by in between one thing and another. The storyline did progress a little bit, but the series really hasn't been awesome in my opinion since Obsidian Butterfly. What has happened with Edward and his possible "family"? The new characters seen in Danse Macabre are all and well and interesting, but there are still many loose ends in Anita's life and it seems that she is losing her active role as the Executioner. Overall I will still buy Anita Blake starring books, but in the case of this book, I wished I waited for the paperback or to borrow it from someone.
