Title: My first Grisham - I was disappointed Product review: I am surprised by all the glowing reviews. This was my first Grisham book and I expected more. Sure, he writes well and the reading is easy, but the plot left a lot to be desired. I never saw the movie, but if you have seen any TV show or movie involving lawyers then you know this book.

Title: If you can't write, hire a writer to help you. Product review: How did this book get published? There isn't one paragraph in the entire book which would have earned a passing grade in any school (any level). Mr. Roth has a great story to tell but lacks the necessary skills to relay it to his reader. From the first passages, he rambles on and on, jumping from topic to topic, unable to maintain a chronological order from one paragraph to the next. There are people who make their living assisting those who have a story to tell by writing it for them. Mr. Roth should have enlisted the aid of a skilled writer to put his thoughts and experiences in a readable format for mass consumption by both Van Halen fans and those who enjoy reading biographies. Instead, he attempted to chronicle his journeys by himself--a disappointment to all who are brave (or foolish) enough to plow through the muddled confusion of this book.

Title: What are the chances...? Product review: How many times have you been asked, "What are the chances...?" Or how about, "What percentage of...?" Or, "Is this really indicated?" If you want to know the most common predictive outcomes, current therapies, and management algorithms, then this book will be a help to you. It is very easy to read and includes many algorithm flowcharts. It not only aids management, but also can help with prediciting prognosis outcome (although perhaps to a lesser degree). Not many references, though. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: A total fix for political junkies Product review: The problem I had with Stahl's book is that I STOPPED WORKING. Luckily, I am a writer, so no one really noticed. But this is a book so rich in behind-the-scenes detail that you can hardly put it down.Here is the line I liked best in the book. At a ferocious briefing with press secretary Larry Speakes, he is saying "I'd like you to report...." Stahl interrupts: "We don't care what you'd like us to report." Get it?Finally, I was impressed with how much credit and space she gives her producers, even as they refer to her as "news babe in ridiculous heels."
