Is this product review positive? Title: Stick and stones may break some bones... Review: ...but words are what Purdy excels at. Yet he is not limited to his extraordinarily deft touch with language. His concepts in For Common Things reach beyond the kind of psychobabble that usually passes for wisdom in this Spandex society -- agree with him or not, he is a thinker, someone Mark Twain would have gotten drunk with. I myself would like to raise a glass to this intelligent and incredibly gutsy young author. I found his book thought provoking, astonishing, and challenging -- never boring or superficial. He has one trait which distinguishes, and doubtless made his ascent possible: authenticity. Many will break their necks in their hasty attempt to degrade and minimize his work; for those like him, that is the price of being admitted to the pantheon of respected authors. Do not hesitate for an instant. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: This is medical advice? Review: Any benefit from amputation of healthy tissue must be measured against the loss it necessarily entails. Schoen does not discuss the erotogenic quality of the foreskin, its immunological purpose, or the bodily dysmorphism its loss inflicts on some men. This books chirpy tone also alerts the reader to a salesman-like approach to the subject. Circumcision is serious surgery and the foreskin is not just skin. Infant boys shouldn't be treated so dismissively. There are much better and more informative books on this subject out there. Readers would be better off skipping Schoen and going with almost any other book on the subject. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: An unbelievable but fun story. Review: How does one find a fiance when one doesn't have one in time to spend Christmas with family at a cabin in the mountains? Simple answer, handcuff someone and convince them to go along with your implausible scheme. Okay, I get it, it isn't rocket science, but it is a charming movie starring Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez. Some may call it mindless entertainment, but in my opinion, it is a Christmas movie for the entire family. It is wholesome fun and a real feel good story. One small caveat, there is some sexual content and it may not be for everyone, but most people, I believe, will enjoy this fun movie. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Looking Back at Their Lives We see Our Own Past Review: I think that after we reach a certain age we all look back once in a while to life's decisions, loves, mistakes or simply what-could-have-been's. The premise in this book is just that, six friends who haven't seen each other in twenty-seven years have gathered for the bitter-sweet wedding of two of them who were lovers before but now with years, marriages and children behind them have rekindled their romance. The wedding is bitter-sweet because the bride has advanced, terminal breast cancer and is suffering from the side effects of the drugs and from fear.The book is classic Anita Shreve. The story is engrossing and serves to illustrate the ways that all of our lives take unexpected twists and turns. Her characters are people we all know, with some of their aspects falling very close to home. This book will continue her string of excellent books that force all of us to think about our own lives. There is little more than one can ask of a novel. Answer:
