Title: flannel sheets Review: Comfortable flannel sheets, kinda thin...but warm. Will probably last a season or two, but worth the money. Is this product review negative?

Title: Marx meets Lord of the Flies Review: I was interested in this book as a researcher on moral education and child development. Having just returned this book to the library, I'd have to agree with the first couple of reviewers. The work is essentially an essay dressed up as a study. It is a common pitfall to bash the "state" - that is forgiven. However, to suggest that to swing to the other side of the pendulum is a silver bullten is rediculous. Most will agree that purposeful programs of character education reflective of students environmental/contextual lives is what is needed. Any program worth its weight can work within a federally-funded program to implement effective character programs. The two authors (who *are* these guys anway) seem to have an axe to grind politically rather than to present a thoughtful history and contemporary narrative. Readers are best off to explore the literature on moral development/education. JP Is this product review negative?

Title: wish I had this in hard back Review: You have to read this book before you read Making Money. And you have to read this book because it is so much fun.If you read this, you will not need me to encourage you to read Making Money. I suppose it would help to be a fan of Disc World to begin with, but I think you will be by the time you finish the book even if it is your first experience there. Is this product review negative?

Title: approach with caution Review: The hero whines a lot, suffers inexplicably over things that don't seem too troublesome, and is loved unreservedly by every good guy in the book. The heroine is annoying, wanting to be present at all times and tagging along even when not supposed to -- this is supposed to make her a "strong" female character rather than the pest and burden she really would be?The young McKillip hasn't yet learned how to shape a story, develop characters, or create suspense; the story is choppy, episodic, and at times inexplicable. There is much -- way too much -- description of emotion, but no creation of emotion in the reader.I'm being a little brutal, but this is an immature work that will appeal mostly to teens and to those who haven't read much adult fiction.
