Title: Diverting but derivative Review: I found this to be an enthralling page-turner, and I had to restrain myself from reading ahead, but after only a couple of chapters I had a strong sense of deja vu (deja lu?). That the book draws significantly from "Brideshead Revisited" is noted early and often by the author herself, in a disappointingly obvious manner. But "Other People's Rules" also seems to worship at a less-exalted altar, Dominick Dunne's semi-trashy "A Season in Purgatory," a roman a clef loosely based on the Martha Moxley murder and its Kennedy connection. As in "Brideshead" and "Purgatory," the first-person narrator in "Rules" is a middle-class but comparatively impoverished young person drawn in by the privilege and eccentricities of a wealthy family; however, "Rules" resembles "Purgatory" not merely in theme but in plot points as well. While the similarities may be entirely coincidental, they diminished my enjoyment of the book. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: A Definate Keeper! Review: I have been reading romance books for years, but this is the first one I read that plays during the Roman Times and it was interesting to learn about this era. Ms. Henley definately did her research, her portrayal of this time history was facinating, not tedious and boring like other novels. This book was very sensual, mature, witty and the overall theme of time travel and reincarnation seemed very credible. I loved it! It was so heartfelt! Diana and Marcus's love transports through time. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Range Knobs Didn't fit Review: I have a GE gas range and these knobs fit on the stem - but the knob has a side wall which prevents pushing the knob in before turning. They just do not work - no way around it. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?
