More like cruise control... Product review: Not a bad story, with the usual Ballardian ideas. But that is the problem: J.G. Ballard is getting lazy. Okay, so exposing the tedium, the superficiality, the pointlessness of bourgeouis life is the point of his writing (isn't it?)... but Ballard's books are getting more and more similar. This is just Vermillion Sands but less fantastic, Running Wild running on empty (and much less economical and experimental in form). All Ballard's characters, from The Drowned World to Cocaine Nights, are like millenial parodies of people out of a Noel Cowerd play - 'how frightfully dreadful, and pass me another cocktail, darling...'. Ballard is probably right ot say that unfortunately this homogenous, leisured, airport lounge, gated-communities culture is the future in a globalized, Americanized world, but surely there are different ways of approching it than to write the same thing, in the same way, over and over again?

Review title: Don't buy, there are much better products Product review: My dad had picked up a pack of these old "plastic bubble balloons" at some market in china town and it took me back to my childhood so i decided to look online and would buy tons of different brands to see which is besti got 4 kinds and this is clearly the worstit is the most toxic smelling of the "plastic bubble balloons" they of course all smell like acetone (they have acetate in it)this brand is also the least easy to make bubbles withthere are quite a few other brands on amazon alone that are truly better than this oneCAUTION: with any "plastic bubble balloons" use in a well ventilated room or outside there are alot of toxic fumes that come off of the material the product is made from ... this is not by any means a kids toy (in this day and age)

Review title: Disappointed Product review: This is the first novel I have read by Mrs. McKinney. It is unfortunate that the jacketcover intro did a great job of wetting the appetite only to have the storyline fall short. The premise and characters had great potential yet fell flat after their inital meeting. Characters carefully designed to perfection somehow dissipate leaving one to wonder if they deserve one another or if it was even worth the hassle. Again great plot and characters quickly becoming....boring....

Review title: Worth The Extra Money For Import Product review: I had been waiting and waiting for this to show up on iTunes. I am a big fan of theirs, but don't like paying for shipping.I just couldn't stand it anymore...I had to have Naturally 7's 2006 album. I went ahead and found it on Amazon. It was a little high priced for a CD, but I went ahead.I was not disappointed. A great album with a ton of quality tracks. It was worth paying extra for an "imported" CD from Europe.Great stuff guys!
