Review title: Not a Clone for the Marathon Bars We Had (West Coast).... Product review: First, just want to say these are tasty, no issues there.However, based on the reviews, I was shocked when they arrived. I could tell just by looking at them that they weren't the Marathon bars that we had as kids, where I grew up, anyway (Southern California). Those Marathon bars were much, much larger.These Curly Whirly bars are better than the Marathon bars that I remember. I like the almost delicate configuration of these, and the slightly more sophisticated flavors.P.S.: I came back to update my review, because I learned that we did indeed have a larger Marathon bar in Southern California - so I'm not crazy! :) For some reason unknown to me, a 15" Marathon bar was marketed in Southern California during the 1970s.

Review title: Oh good, I'm the first to review... Product review: I had this book well before Oprah took it over, so I guess that makes me cool. This is a good book, and it's written with such a consistent, helpful message. It's a book I would take with me to a dessert island, if I had a bunch of books I could bring.

Review title: Very surprised Product review: I started this book several months ago and did not get past the prologue. I had just finished a very good but intense book at that time and in retrospect was not ready for another one. I am glad I gave this book a second chance. Krueger weaves a great tale of suspense and intrigue. I had some ideas as to what was going on and who the bad guys were, but did get some fun surprises. If you have not read this book, then stop here. I was very sad that he killed off Molly, or appeared too anyway. I have not read his next book yet but read the blurb in the back of Iron Lake and am hoping that Molly survived. I am sure she did not but I thought that would have been a good avenue to pursue. His interactions between his characters are very real and the reactions he has them portray are realistic and emotional. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Review title: Death of a Prophet: A waiste of film Product review: This so called documentary was terrible. It lacked content and did not do justice to the memory of Brother Malcolm. It came across as a film school project.
