Title: Round up the usual suspects Product review: Ah,yes. It's all the fault of those nasty patriarchal corporations (again). And the solution is so obvious! Live like a third-world peasant! I love it when first-world academics who enjoy all of the priveledges of high technology (medicine, air travel, food surpluses) advise others to live at the subsistence level. How terribly condescending to all of the REAL third-world peasants who desperately want to escape the subsistence-level life...the ones who vote with their feet by immigrating in hordes to first world, hi-tech capitalist countries. If the authors weren't so deadly serious, this book could be mistaken for a satire. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: Waste of money Product review: "Not business' fault but this product is terrible. I should have done more research on w/o chip. Probably my ignorance but removing the chip from the canon ink cart and adhering it to the generic brand was a huge FLOP. Total waste of my time and money."

Title: Not worth the money Product review: This is an excellent item (if you want to shred your lawn)! It "may" work if you were able to set your mower RPMs to idle speed. My mower does not have a throttle so it just shredded my lawn when set low enough to actually get to the thatch. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: Eating disorders Product review: I have just finished reading this author's previous work LUSH and decided to tackle PERFECT.Perfect can be described as the anatomy of an eating disorder and more importantly how powerfully deceitful the disease can be.It is obvious that this author is slowly, but surely tackling addiction as the main theme throughout her series of books (so far).While I thoroughly enjoyed LUSH, PERFECT was a harder read for me. The main character, while the author tries to make her likeable, felt stiff and unyielding to me. Of course, this may have been deliberate on the part of the author - however, I kept trying to find something to hang on to in the story and I could not.I have, however, rated the book a 4 star for the absolutely excellent portrayal of what an eating disorder can do to the person suffering as well as the family members. Ah, denial....it is a powerful thing.This book is well written and hits all the right chords, but there was just something slightly off about it.
