Title: A Major Disappointment Product review: Over the years, I have distributed many copies of "A Canticle for Liebowitz" to friends - a book that I regard among the greats. It was with this reference frame that I started reading "Saint Leibowitz and..." As magnificent as I found the first, so I found the second tedious. It is confused, without meaningful plot, and its imagination and creativity extends only to the use of a number of "cute" names for people and places. I kept reading only because I thought that there must be something hidden here - anyone who wrote the first book could not have written anything as pedestrian as this. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Perhaps, as one reviewer points out, a reader may find this interesting if he/she is interested in the workings of the author's mind. But that was neither my expectation or desire. The main feeling I had when I reached the last page was: what a waste of time - mine and the authors. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: Spridle Say Knock You Out! Product review: This has to be one of Fishbone's weakest releases! if you enjoyed stuff like "Party At Ground Zero","Ugly",or "Skankin' To The Beat",avoid this album! The Chim-Chim concept/idea is a great idea,sadly it's just the artwork on the sleeve,and not followed up by the material. The Ska sound is mostly gone by this release....with the exception of "Beergut",but even then only briefly. The other change on this album is the overly obvious racist statements,that basically revert Fishbone into just another rap band.( And no,that's not a good thing.).Fishbone have always had a lot of intelligent things to say,especially around race issues,but they just lose touch on the material here,and dumb themselves down in the process.Fishbone remain a favourite,but this album does not.

Title: Syndicated episdoes = no $$$ from me Product review: I have tons of blank DVDRs and VHS tapes laying around the house. I can just record syndicated episodes off of cable TV. Why buy them? I wouldn't buy a book that is missing pages. Studios often re-release movies with "extra footage" or "director's cut" or "extended edition". How many do you think they would sell if they released a shortened version...like a Gone With the Wind that is only 2 hours long. I will no longer buy any DVD set with syndicated episodes. If the message is not sent to the studios right now, then they will ocntinue to take the cheap and easy path. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
