Ques:Title: Overall? Trite and derivative Review: With a few exceptions, I am disappointed in this collection of shorts. Great concept but what a bunch of lousy submissions apart from Jeffery Deaver's 'Born Bad'. The book is worth it just for this story.Did these, for the most part well known and highly regarded writers, do a quickie favor for the editor? It would appear so. The average reader will be able to guess at the ending about a paragraph into the story. Second, the "dangerous women" seem to be stuck on sadism against men originating in lack of or too much of - you got it, sex. And finally, apart from one or two selections, the shorts derive their plot line from mainly noirish elements...cops, tough guys...bleak urban landscapes, and yes...dangerous femmes fatales...give me a break.You want dangerous women? See Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity or read the novel by James Cain. Is the review positive or negative?

Ques:Title: How does this work? Review: I love a film or book about an active, engaged woman, but Liz is no Scarlett. She overcomes nothing but the constant attention of attractive men. In the end, instead of finding herself, she finds Javier Bardem; after a year of eating pasta and drinking wine all day. How does that work? Now there would be a good book!

Ques:Title: Made to work, not made to last. Review: This waffle iron is functional, but very cheaply made. I expect to get at least a little bit of use out of it, but the hinge felt like it was going to break just pulling it out of the box. Is the review positive or negative?

Ans:Negative

Ques:Title: The Best Christian Rock Review: This CD is one of my all time favorites. Their music is strong and true and we'll from the heart. It is definitely Christian but not sappy Christian. you can tell they're not out for the money but to make music as an artist and to sing for God. In track five At the end they do a U2 cover of "bullet the blue sky" . It is an excellent cover and a must listen. If you like Creed, Audio Adrenaline, and U2 you will love this CD.
