Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Brilliant Footnotes, etc. Review: Whoever suggested skimming the footnotes is a bowdlerizer. Most of the footnotes are marvelous stories that stand on their own. This is not Tolkien or Rowling. This sometimes very funny and sometimes very sad book, the world Susanna Clarke creates, is utterly original, a gorgeous and thrilling mix of magic and history. Very highly recommended. Answer:

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: America's Secret Army Review: I was in the Army Counter Intelligence Corps in the WWII era, including two years in Occupied Germany. It is a good history of the CIC, which has not received their share of credit for intelligence for the armed services. The work of OSS and CIA are have been highly publicized, but CIC has received little, and in fact the organization was disbanded in the 1970's. This book shows why the authors called the CIC "America's Secret Army." A very informative read. Answer:

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CD Review: Ignore the other review posted here. This CD is a complete and total waste of time and money. NONE of the performances here are the original "hit" versions, and most annoyingly, the bulk of them are sound-alike versions performed by a studio group. A most glaring example of the cheesy quality of this CD is how the record label spells the name of the group The Trammps (they are listed as "The Tramps" throughout!)In summary, this title joins the trash heap with other titles put out by this label, Park South. I find it hard to believe that a major label (EMI) chooses to distribute the bargain-basement quality titles released by this label. Answer:

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Roller Coaster Ride With Too Sweet An Ending Review: A though-provoking mixture of science fiction and religion, The Last Day has major motion picture written all over it, with the exception of protests by Roman Catholic groups! The characters are interesting, the premise surprisingly "possible," but the ending is devoid of the pyrothechnic special effects that the first 98% of the story implies. The final pages are more out of a "made for TV" after school special. It was a fun book that was hard to put down, but it does seem that Kleier has a whole closet of axes to grind with the Pope and his pals. If Speilberg wants to touch this one, the last few pages need a rewrite! Answer:
