Ques:Title: This is an embarrassment Product review: I ordered this book as a Christmas present for a budding novelist, and I also ordered a copy for myself. When the "book" I had ordered for myself arrived and I found that it looked like a photocpy from Kikos, I was incredibly embarrassed to have given it as a Christmas present. For the price I would have expected it to be bound or have stated otherwise in the descripion. I cannot believe I received this quality of product. There is nothing that could be said in the content to compensate for this and I will never buy anything from this author again. It is hard to believe anything he says when he can't really get his own book "published". Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Ques:Title: Poor/confused symbolism makes this a difficult deck to read. Product review: I recently purchased this deck because one of my students was trying to learn Tarot with it. I opened it with great expectations, but found a dud of a deck inside. Some cards bear symbols not associated with their key, and others hold very little symbolism at all. The Emperor has very little to offer, and the High Priestess shows a bundle of WHEAT and flowers that belong on the Empress. This deck gives difficult, confusing readings as a result. I would not recommend it! Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Ques:Title: Works well with emulators on my PC Product review: I'm not sure what version of the adapter I received- it's blue, but doesn't look like the one in the picture... Regardless, it works very well on my pc (running Windows Vista). Drivers were installed automatically after I plugged it into the USB port. I didn't have to use the installation cd that was provided with the adapter (I wouldn't have done that anyway- I understand it's full of malware). I've been using this adapter in conjunction with my old ps2 controllers to play N64 emulators (particularly Zelda - Ocarina of Time with the Project 64 emulator), and the controller is awesome & very responsive. All I had to do is set my controller/button preferences. Purchasing this adapter was a much better and more economical alternative to buying a separate pc game controller.

Ques:Title: Huh? Product review: I WANTED to like this book, because I'm from Minnesota and want to support Minnesota writers, but I had to force myself to finish it. The plot, for me, was completely contrived--more like a plot outline than a fully realized book. The characters struck me as hollow, superficial, and cliched, down from the Norwegian grandmother's constant outbursts of "Uff-da!" to Harriet's plunge, after a single night at a bar, into alcoholism, destitution, and prostitution(!) If the book were funnier, it could qualify as satire, perhaps, and one could forgive the author for her shallow writing and paint-by-numbers characters. The fact the one is apparently meant to take it seriously is worrisome. I don't like to give an author a bad review but there are so many much more masterfully written books out there that don't get the coverage and attention this book did, and I find that unfortunate.
