Review title: very strong argument for textual integrity Product review: This is the author's PhD thesis; it is a scholarly, graduate level work, but the premise is easy to understand. In a careful liteary analysis the author shows that John is written in the contemporary literary form of the day - the 5-part Greek tragedy - with well structured sections and chiasmi from beginning to end. The resurrection of Lazarus and reaction of Sanhedrin form the climatic turning point in the literary structure. This analysis convincingly defends the textual integrity of John, and answers objections of source critics who claim the text has inconsistencies pointing to editing or composition by multiple authors. On a personal level, this new insight into the design of John is very profound. For a more authoritative review, see Dennison's review in archives at Kerux.com.

Review title: ho-hum Product review: Do we really need another phony sad white kid singing to us about experiences he doesn't even understand? No.Yes, he knows words that other kids his age don't know. That is, indeed, impressive. But his depression never rings true. If he was as sad as he professes to be, he wouldn't be making this type of music.If you desire false, derivative melancholia, stick with Bright Eyes. ...

Review title: Poor Product review: This would not even get an A in high school English class.About the book itself, one thing I noticed was how one dimensional the characters were. [...] I hate to just repeat what everyone else said, but these characters were just little snippets and sound bites of movies with no real feeling to them.I won't give away the end, but I have to say that it wasn't suprising. Not only that, but I actually didn't care what happened to Falen, if he lived or died (again I won't spoil the ending, not that I could, because anyone with a brain who has seen a movie or two will know the entire story anyway.) It was hard to either like him or hate him, he was just super boring. No personality. That goes for the entire book.

Review title: Good only if you're interested in advanced conjugation Product review: I am travelling to Egypt and wanted to learn some Arabic. I bought this product because "colloquial" sounded good. But I find it completely useless. The words on the tape are read much too quickly, and I find myself flipping frantically through the book trying to find the lessons that are being read. It focuses on very advanced grammar and a lot of weird idioms. There is virtually nothing useful to me on it.
