Q: Title: Take some parenting classes America! Review: How very sad that a book like this is received so warmly by American parents. What a perfect example of how lazy and self-centered we are as a nation. God forbid a baby would "inconvenience" anyone by waking at night. After all, physiologically babies have stomachs that only hold 1-2 teaspoons at one time and have a physical need to wake up every 2-3 hours for food until they are older. Of course these babies appear content! Have you ever starved yourself and eventually your stomach (this is a no brainer) shrinks therefore, you eventually are less hungry. Ask any PROFESSIONAL Pediatrician how wonderful (not!!) this book is.....we are seeing a mass exodus of failure to thrive babies on this psychotic program! Get a puppy future wanna' be parents.....or better yet a golfish....you're obviously "too busy" to be bothered by rasing children! Is this product review negative?

A: Yes


Q: Title: nice pictures Review: This is a beautiful picture book and is probably worth something just for that. As for the advice offered for actually setting up an aquarium, I couldn't recommend it. If you're serious about setting up a beautiful, low-maintenance aquarium, get Diana Walstad's "Ecology of the Planted Aquarium." On the other hand, this one will have you buying a lot of equipment and doing a lot of work, and will eventually leave you wondering why your plants aren't thriving. Indeed, some of these books leave you wondering how aquatic plants and fish manage to grow outdoors in all of that sunlight and without benefit of mechanical filters, store-bought additives, and mechanisms for supplying additional carbon dioxide. Sometimes the old ways work better, even (especially?) the old ways we've forgotten. The organization of this book is artificial and the recommendations for plants and fish somewhat arbitrary. But the pictures are gorgeous. Is this product review negative?

A: Yes


Q: Title: XTC incognito Review: While this is a fantastic cd, it's similarity to XTC is uncanny. Knowing that Andy Partridge and the rest of the XTC crew have worked under various pseudonyms, my first reaction upon hearing Bang was that it must be one of them. Everything from their general quirky song-writing style to their well crafted vocal flourishes and harmonies is imitated. That aside, it's still a masterwork of intelligent pop with some truly creative guitar work. You might also do well to check out The Starlight Mints if you like this album.

A: No


Q: Title: Useful info, holier-than-thou tone Review: Despite the fact that Melina makes the comment, "in many respects being an adoptive parent is no different from being a biological parent," it seemed to me from the tone of the book that she doesn't believe that statement at all. While she criticizes biological parents for "minimizing" the differences between raising bio children and adopted ones, she does a 180 and interprets almost every single child-raising issue (many of which seem quite universal) as uniquely adoptive child-related (which is just as bad).While there's a lot of useful information in this book, especially the ideas about creating meaningful scrapbooks/lifebooks for children, I found the "it's an adoption thing" tone very grating after a while.If parents of adopted children "adopt" her tone, they're very likely to alienate everyone around them.
