Title: Left Me Wanting A Follow Up Review: After seeing all the five star reviews I decided to give this a watch. The footage is powerful and impactful. When the focus was on the former child-soldier, Ishmael Beah, you are left feeling a sense of "western-guilt". This kid tells these horrific stories of death, chaos, and greed, then brings a smile to his face, because of the gratefulness he feels for being alive. The focus of the documentary should have rested more on his storyline. At the very least, there should have been more conversation between Ishmael and the musicians about the potential they have to change the attitudes towards diamonds. The musicians that traveled with him to Sierra Leone came across as shallow and selfish, only superficially impacted by the horrors being presented to them. The film ends and you have this uneasy sense that these musicians are going to return to the United States and leave the misery behind. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Lots of Fun Review: This novel was considered by John Dickson Carr to be the best locked room mystery of all time, and I agree its one of the best. Next to the Phantom of the Opera, this is Gaston Leroux's most famous novel, and the one which introduces Joeseph Rouletabille.Mathilde Strangerson was alone in her room. She had locked her self into the Yellow Room, which was right beside her father's laboratory. The doors were locked and bolted, the windows were bolted, and it was impossible to enter the room. Some how though, and invisible man walked through a locked door and atacked Mathilde. When her father forced open the door, Mathilde lay on the ground, beaten and strangled, and the room was empty.Before long, the French detective Fredrick Larson had come to solve this mystery. But one person stood in his way. 18 reporter-detective Joeseph Rouletabille had also decided to solve this mystery, and would soon uncover a secret bigger then any thing any one ever expected.

Title: A wonderful series Review: Oh happy day! For years I've been trying to remember enough about these books to track them down, and now a search engine has done it for me. I read this series of "Trick" books probably in their first printing and adored them. Now that I have children of my own, I've been trying to figure out how to describe them to a librarian in order to track them down. Now with a few clicks, here they are! I only hope they all come out in an affordable format soon. Kerby may not be the original Harry Potter, but I can't wait to re-read all of these. Yippee! Is the review positive or negative?
