Title: This book does have value... Review: I enjoyed the story and the illustrations, not as much as John Henry, but I LOVED that one. I have used this book with 4th-8th graders for teaching a variety of things, and it is rare to find a story about black cowboys in general. I would recommend it for anyone who would like to have a collection of stories with black main characters. I added it to my collection for use during black history month and my own children enjoyed it also. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: This movie made me cry Review: This movie was so bad that i cried because i had wasted some of my hard earned money too see it. To anyone over the age of 13 this movie probably wont be funny. I didnt laugh once during the whole movie. I found some of the jokes very gross (the cat on the toilet) and thought they were over done. Fine parody Meet the Focker by having a cat that can use the toilet but do we need to watch this cat using the toilet for what seemed like a whole minute. It just went on and on. If i could have given this movie 0 stars i would have. The best thing about this movie is that its short, usually i hate short movies but with this one i was very happy that it was over. If you really want to see it then rent it because your not going to want to watch it more then once. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Not one of Koontz's better books Review: NOTE: a few spoilers in this review, so skip if you haven't read and mind hearing about minor plot points.Just finished this book on CD, and pretty disappointed overall. I do prefer Koontz's books that have a bit less of a supernatural theme, but even the others that I've read I liked more than this one. The main characters were okay, but the alien monster really never went anywhere and too much was left unexplained. The book ended far too abruptly with no follow-up on the characters afterwards (I was sure there'd be something made of how heroic the boy acted in particular), and there were parts that I laughed out loud at how absurd it became. He included a golden retriever as so many of his books do but the dog seemed totally unnecessary to the story, and introduced a glaring plot hole (why did the alien not just take control of him as it did other animals??) Overall, not his best work and a book you can skip without really missing much. Is the review positive or negative?
