Q: Title: I love this series Product review: I was given the book as a gift. The series title nearly made me laugh. 'Sword of Truth? Gimme a break.' Then I read it. I was swept up by its story in the first few chapters. the tale was told masterfully; I simply could not stop reading it. I was engulfed in its wake almost as much as I was with LOTR. Kudos to Terry Goodkind. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Q: Title: JVC has done better Product review: I bought this receiver with the intent of upgrading my home theater system and replaced my first JVC receiver model# RX-207 (it still works and sounds great), and I was under impressed. Since I have had previous experience with JVC, I already knew lower end JVC equipment tends to have good sound with the mid and high ranges but less desirable sound with the lower range, as was the case with this unit. I prefer to let a self-amplified sub do the work instead (both car and home stereo).My biggest complaint was the center channel. No matter how much I adjusted the balance and sound, it sounded "boxy" and most dialogue was difficult to understand. Fortunately it blew out 2 months later and I replaced it with the JVC RX-8000V (I am much happier now). I give this unit 2 stars and the 8000 4 stars.

Q: Title: A complete piece of junk Product review: This tool is a compete piece of junk. What was I expecting for $10? Don't waste your time.On one of the cutter assemblies the hole that clamps onto the cross bar was machined oversize so it was just barely possible to tighten the socket screw enough to hold it firmly in place on the cross bar. After a little use I could not tighten the screw enough to hold the cutter assembly in place.After cutting one hole the cross bar that holds the cutter developed play where it fits into the center mandrill. This allows the cutters to chatter badly.There is a safety nut on each end of the cross bar the keeps the cutter assemblies from spinning off should they become loose. Both safety nuts keep loosening and falling off. There is no lock washer so of course these are going to vibrate loose. If this was the only problem you could install your own lock washer.

Q: Title: SS Van Dine in Japan Product review: This is a good straightforward locked room mystery. It is set in post war Tokyo, and was written in 1948. The odd world of full-body tattooing forms a backdrop.Aside from some sexual references (don't expect sex scenes) it is very like an old SS Van Dine mystery from the 20s (The Canary Murder Case presents a similar locked room puzzle). Not hard to solve but fun to read. A good light book for a few hours entertainment. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
