Review title: Gets it right on Product review: This book does as good a job as any I've seen of getting into the mystical heart of Christianity. If you have shut off your heart and mind as a biblical literalist, worshipping the bible as an idol, and allowed yourself to obsess over what folks do in the bedroom (as an example, see "great deception" review of this book), you won't get it, which is a pity. Christianity is SO much more than taking snippets of Bible verses out of context to justify limited views based on a conception of God that isn't anything more than a reflection of your own prejudices and judgments staring back at you (the proverbial log in the eye). Jim Manion has followed in the steps of the great Christian mystics and ascetics, dug down deep, and mined Christianity's real riches and shared them. There is so much here to explore and appreciate, whether you're Christian or not. My hearty thanks goes out to him.

Review title: A fun read Product review: Although I have been a huge fantasy/sci fi fan since I first picked up a book, I just recently began reading Tolkien' s works. I read the fellowship of the rings and found it a tad difficult to get through as it took me awhile to adjust to his writing style and method of storytelling. I then began the hobbit after seeing the movie and I couldn't stop reading it. It's a classic that I think everyone should be exposed to. The only reason I didn't give it a five is that it read like a children's story and although that may be how it was intended to come across I found it confusing at first. All in all, the hobbit was fantastic and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the fantasy genre and is looking for a fun read.

Review title: Terrible translation Product review: As I read I could see how it might have been written in French. The English just doesn't read quite right. The book could've used a more skillful translation.

Review title: I finally found it Product review: My search is over. I have finally found the absolute worst record in the history of recorded sound. These guys are so awful they make the Dead sound like the Vienna Boys Choir. The stuff on this record cannot even be called music. They must have been great at PR, because they had absolutely no ability to make recorded sound at all. I heard that one of them is dead. Good. One down, one to go.
