Title: Engaging, but juvenile Review: While the story is certainly engaging, the plot development is predictable, the characters almost too perfect, and the writing a bit juvenile. I knew what was going to happen before I even turned the page, and not because of good foreshadowing.How many times do we have to read about Amir coming to terms with the horrible act that caused he and Hassan to become separated? After Amir's horrible pummelling, are we really expected to believe he makes a full recovery, so quickly? And how neat and tidy is it that we learn who the Taliban pummeller is? And that he ends up with a harelip, just like Hassan?I'm glad I read that book, but I can't understand why everyone raves about it. I wish there were more passages detailing the travesties of the Taliban, instead of yet another passage of Amir realizing how he did Hassan wrong.It becomes repetitive, culminating in a story that ends with a pretty bow on it.

Title: Utterly ridiculous! Review: The Urantia Book is not worth your time or money! Any thinking person can see it is a hoax just by looking at some of the names of places such as Morontia (must mean it is a place for morons!). Other ridiculous names include Ganad (what if that first a were an o!) and Adamson.Reading this book is totally confusing. Don't bother! Read the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, the Torah or some other spiritual scripture, but pass this one by! Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Captivating Review: A racy espionage, terrorism series that keeps you on the edge a la "24"-like. I've always loved Claire Danes as an actress and she shines again here. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Book not worth the money Review: I go in for surgery for my herniated disk in two days and nothing I read in this book informed me, encouraged me, or discouraged me from my decision. It's a very basic book if you know absolutely nothing about back pain, but as for any practical advice, there's very little. I especially looked for advice on exercises that are safe to do after surgery, but found none. What little info there is also seems very dated. I would have liked to see more than a tiny bit of info on types of surgery, etc. If the authors had spent their time on more research instead of ranting against managed health care, this might have been a decent and informative book. My advice: spend your money on another, more detailed and up-to-date book. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?
