Review title: surprisingly good and useful Product review: I am not at all a fan of Bradley's Avalon books, finding them exploitative at best, and I am not usually a follower of the scholarship of John and Caitlin Matthews, finding their slant normally too esoteric and new-agey to be a source of useful information about Arthurian matters. However, I picked up this book recently after consciously avoiding it for years, and was very pleasantly surprised: if you gloss over the "goddess archetype" premise, and simply read the different sections, you will find some interesting, useful, well-researched, well-presented information regarding some potential roots of each character they address. The Matthewses shouldn't be the only scholars you follow - the works of Geoffrey Ashe, Norris Lacy, Roger Sherman Loomis, Jean Markale, Ronan Coghlan, and many others are useful and valid for those interested in the topic - but you could do a lot worse than to add "Ladies of the Lake" to your armory of Arthurian knowledge.

Review title: Poor performance from Midland 75-822 40 Channel CB-Way Radio Product review: While unit did work occasionally, 98% of the time all I heard was static - breaking squelch and unintelligble audio.Radio is not worth owning.

Review title: Critics say 5 stars for Batman costume Product review: My grandson absolutely loves this costume!! It made his day when he got home from school, and a package had been delivered for him and this costume was inside. He wears it almost night and day. I was a little disappointed though when I went to Walmart and saw the new Batman Begins costume with muscle chest for only $24.99, but other than that this costume is a hit. *****

Review title: do NOT buy Product review: This blade is terrible terrible terrible. Do NOT buy. It is improperly made-- it is not ground thin enough to hold an edge. You will be unable to shave anything at all with it. Unbelievable.
