Is this product review positive? Title: Sadly disappointed Review: I ordered Trace from my book guild hoping as I did with Blowfly that it would be a "good read". Sadly, I was disappointed and will not buy anymore of her books. My daughter is also reading it and I told her not to waste her time. I told her I was going to check the reviews online to see if others felt the way I did and they absolutely do. If I had her website address I would write her and tell her to stop writing novels. There was no plot to this story and the linking together of so many people and places was unbelievable. Trace was a good title because there's only a trace of a story. If I had the choice to rate this a minus number I certainly would. I feel I have wasted $15. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: History of the Cortez Nikkei Community Review: This is a very unique book about the experience of the Cortez colony, the last Japanese agricultural community formed by Abiko in 1919. It is written from a feminist perspective and thus gives unique insight into the Nikkei experience. Matsumoto conducted over 80 oral histories in tracing the history of this colony's foundation, through the relocation camp experience, and through the agriculture upheaval of the 70's and early 80's. If you are a serious historian of the Asian American experience, I strongly recommend this book for your collection. Answer:
Yes

Title: So tired of the same old gender stereotypes Review: Well, this is a 'must-have' if you want confirmation of the prejudices you hold about how men and women behave. Here we go with the 'women are subjective and caring' and 'men are objective and task-orientated' tush yet again. If that is the case then my husband and I must be aliens because we behave in opposite ways to that which is described in this book. For all those who truly want to know how the men or women in their lives think, I've one piece of advice - ask them! Because we are all individuals with our own genetic make-up and histories and, believe it or not, we do not always act according to our gender script. Answer:
