Title: Well written, but very depressing Product review: This book is very well written and has some interesting concepts, but I got so depressed by the negative descriptions of getting older that I stopped reading after about two-thirds.When I bought this book I thought it would be encouraging people to plan a great life and career after 40, but I didn't see anything about a career nor about a good life. It was all about getting used to the idea that it's over and you have to get used to the idea.I also wouldn't recommend this book to a woman who has a husband because he sure wouldn't agree with a lot of the things the author has to say about beauty and love past 40.

Title: Good movie with a rehashed plotline Product review: You can't tell me that Hollywood screenwriters aren't stealing from each other. Déjà Vu, Lake House, Premonition and the television show Daybreak all hit the public about the same time. At least Déjà Vu tried to explain how this phenomenon is possible. Sandra Bullock's Lake House and Premonition didn't bother. But we all know it's inhumane to keep beating a dead horse. Denzel Washington continues to have an amazing presence on film. And after playing so many cops and bodyguards that is an amazing feat. The only creepy side to Doug's Carlin's investigation is his almost stalker like inclination to Claire. I do have to agree the actress playing Claire looks a lot like Halle Berry. Overall: this is an entertaining film and it is worth your time checking out.

Title: Noah Gordon is GREAT Product review: Noah Gordon's THE DEATH COMMITTEE is excellent! The plot is intricate, the characters believable, the research based action is accurate. This is the third of Gordon's books that I have read and I have yet to be disappointed. Increasingly it is difficult to find a novel that you want to read it forever, never get to the end, never have to go back to the beginning, reading that is as enjoyable as eating a good steak. Gordon always delivers. I would only suggest it for people who enjoy complicated books, but I certainly will tell everybody about it.

Title: Sanitized Pablum Product review: Why did she shorten a number of the poems/ditties? This reads like my radio scanning the first 10 seconds of each station. These poems were written with lots of verses, why not include them?And I don't particularly enjoy the sanitizing of the What Are Little Boys Made Of poem. Why not read it in the original? Wouldn't it provide an interesting opportunity to discuss gender stereotypes to appropriately aged children, instead of dumbing it down for them?I did like My Kindergarten, though.
