Product review: I am so fed up with the thinness, with the cliched and absurdity of the Hollywood vision of corporations; they are Dr. Evil, Bin Laden and Darth Vader all wrapped up into one. Where is the profit motive in killing innocent people? For once, can we have a movie where the bad guy isn't the CIA, the military, or a corporation and its villainous CEO? Can they put their sacred agenda away for just a minute a come up with something original? This movie fell into the formula so easily, and so quickly; a properly brain-washed 8 year old could have come up with it. And of course, the evil Senator leading the cover up was a Republican taking money from this killer corporation. When the hell was the last time there was a Replublican Senator in Mass? Even without the agenda the movie is terrible. Gibson looks and sounds terrible, the worst Boston accent I ever heard.

Review title: Struggled through it, but it did have one interesting moment Product review: Boy, the first part was bad. All about this teenage boy'ssexual awakening in the most clichéd terms. But in the 2nd part of thebook, when Hannah is being tried for Nazi war crimes, she explains that they were all under Hitler's orders and they themselves would have been killed if the orders weren't carried out. Then she turns to the judge and asks the crucial question of the book, "What would you have done?" And he has no answer for her. I think the people who said this book was about how terrible the Holocaust was, or how hard it is to love someone who has done something terrible, or how a boy's first love is never forgotten, all missed the point.

Review title: Am i the only one who fell asleep while reading this? Product review: Honestly, this is the dullest text-book I've ever had the misfortune of purchasing for any of my classes, the worst part is that i was unable to sell it to back to my school after paying like ninety dollars for it...
