Title: Complete and utter rubbish Product review: I spotted Murakami's books only recently, and was excited when it came onto our writing program's reading list. So I was pretty happy to be reading this book to begin with - which usually gets me all defensive about what I'm reading....But man! This book is utter nonsense. Magic realism? Hogwash.The writing has way too much exposition, and every character starts preaching philosophy on every second page. It's ridiculous. And the point of the whole story? Who knows? It's utter nonsense! The whole things is written to cater to American audiences (there's even a scene in which these so called Japanese people are going to dial 911)Complete waste of 12 dollars, and I won't be reading any more of Murakami's work again.

Title: Beware of the amazon vs publisher war Product review: I have had my kindle since Nov 2009. If you would have ask me two months ago I would have rated it a 5 star review. Now--It seems amazon and the publisher network are at war over pricing. From my blog reading it appears Amazon is willing to pay a certain price and the publisher wants more. Whatever the reason--I feel ripped off. I am now unable to get certain new releases I have been waiting for so I could read them on my kindle. If a customer is willing to pay the price for an e-reader one would think they are serious readers. I for one am willing to pay a couple bucks more for a book I want for my kindle. I feel Amazon is using me to prove a point to the publishers. I am looking at flushing the whole kindle thing and taking my money to B&N; or Sony if Amazon cant get it right. Not once have I seen a survey sent to customers who support Amazon to see what they want! Just beware before you choose an e-reader!Randall Keen Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: Older on was better Product review: Whoever engineered this did a real bad job. The top part continually comes off. The plastic upper 1/2 thread is not deep enough and it keeps opening while I crank the handle. They needed to make it more secure. Bad design. Nuts go all over the place. What a waste of $. I even wrote to the company. Lets see what they do. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: UGh Product review: I read this book over the summer in the course of researching Grace O'Malley and was rolling my eyes the whole time. Why take a fascinating historical figure and turn her life story into a boring romance novel? I don't understand.I was also unable to finish the book despite my usual fascination with anything related to Queen Elizabeth or female pirates. Bleaugh.
