Q: Title: Boring mystery, more boring discourse on ethics Product review: This was my first exposure to Smith's work and I was excited: he has such a big following. I lasted 50 pages. Except for a visit to the symphony and a walk to her duaghter's corner deli, the main chatacter could have been a brain in a vat. She seems to live 90% of her life inside her head. I learned from my fellow reviewers that this is a book on applied ethics. Smith tells us that it is unethical for a reporter to visit the parents of a dead boy the night after his surprise demise. Go figure. He also tells us that a mother doesn't know how much to meddle in her daughter's love life. Again, go figure.

Q: Title: Very, Very, Very Disappointing Product review: To put plainly, this brass section VERY old (age-wise) and do not have chops that they did 20, 30, or 40 years ago. Their old lips just can't do it. It's painful to hear Adolph Herseth try and play this insane trumpet part at 70 years old. He just doesn't have it anymore. And he's not the only one. Jay Friedman is starting to decay and sounds really bad in all places: not just the loud parts. Same with Herseth. He uses this nasty vibrato to try cover up his bad tone. The only good part of this recording it Charles Vernon, but Barenboim holds him back. When I first saw this recording, I wanted to get it, too. I said, "Hey! The greatest brass section ever playing the Alpine Symphony!" Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed, and you will to if you buy this. I have an LA Phil recording, but I'm not sure when it was recorded or who conducted it, but it is flat out amazing. They can handle this monster. Unfortunately, Chicago can't.

Q: Title: -1 Stars Product review: This is the biggest piece of ghetto junk I have ever purchased. I was dismayed when the previous version I had sprung a leak in the indicator necessitating me going out to find a replacement. That one at least had metal threads and stayed put. These ones? I have been through *3*. For one they have plastic threads meaning they strip marvelously well. Cheaper products can not be made. Secondly, they fall off the sink profoundly easily, starting that whole adapter stripping on it's way if you didn't do it when first installing. At that point, they are never the same. Total garbage. Products like this don't just hurt the consumers, they retard the progress of all mankind. I do not recommend this product.

Q: Title: Strike One! Product review: Purchased this product about 3 weeks ago for my 2 chidren (5 and 8 months) to use in my husband's crew cab truck. Worked well twice. Yesterday was the third time we TRIED to use it and it would not even power on. We will give it one more try because we really like the idea of being able to operate the unit from the front seat. Hope the second time is a charm. We will update when we see how the other unit holds up. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
