Title: An intentional G.M. Fraser derivative? Review: Certainly not up to the standard of Fraser's excellent Flashman series! I can't help but think it must be intentionally paying homage to its superior, and to other Northwest Frontier fiction and nonfiction. The "native" detail which impresses some reviewers could have been lifted straight from Fraser and from John Masters' autobiographical "Bugles and a Tiger". But where Stirling seems to be winking at us is in naming the Pathan who eventually accompanies the Anglo-Indian protagonist and his Sikh brother-in-arms: Ilderim Khan. As any Flashman fan knows, this is the name of Flashman's alter ego when in disguise as a Pathan. After encountering this character, it's rather hard to think the rest is anything but a bit silly.

Title: Outstanding Historical and Intellectual Journey Review: I always have wondered, "How could it have happened?" This movie puts it into focus using philosophy as the foundation. All the Nazi documentaries ever made do not do the job this does in explaining what made Germany kills millions of innocent civilians and create a very destructive war that resulted in millions of more deaths.I did not give it the last star only because the film does not attempt to be Citizen Kane. Hicks executes perfectly. His lecturing engages without boring or getting too deep into the philosophy. The imagery and music are an eerie accompaniment.

Title: Great Machine for the N. American Review: Just got our ED271APG. Have used it for about a week. I have no idea why anyone would complain. Makes great espresso/coffee. Could use a timer.... This issue was solved with a $10.00 wall plug timer.I am not a coffee/espresso expert but I have lived in Italy and France and have had lot's of Euro coffee beverages. If you want to improve on this home machine it seems you might have to spend a lot more for not a great deal more in performance....if any.The main feature is the Espresso and other Espresso based drink capability...Plenty of Crema and Plenty of steam. The adjustment for one or two shots works great. Just a matter of controling what type of grind you put in. Like all espresso makers, a little experimenting solves all the issues. The standard coffee maker side is a convience that makes the Multi-Pro combo a great assest to our home.To summarize.....So far it's a great buy from Briel / Amazon.If there is a change in my opinion I'll follow up later Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?
