Review title: Confused and confusing Product review: I chose this book because it's so popular, and supposedly written for high school age. The characters are one-dimensional, the issues never fully developed or resolved, except that the 'wallflower' is allowed to come along to their parties, and eventually is accepted as a friend, though there are very few reasons for why he merits this. His vocabulary is singularly juvenile, far below his alleged age, and his sexual view of every relationship makes him seem limited mentally. I don't know any high school students who would find this kind of person interesting or worth being friends with. Innocence and stupidity being two things that teenagers do not want to claim or seem to be. And the anonymous letters lead you to believe it will be revealed as part of the story and it never is. Who the heck does he know well enough to write to on these most personal of topics? A very strange and tiring book.

Review title: It only deserves half star Product review: Mine is defective out of box. The only function of the Menu button is to turn it on. After I turn it on the Menu button no longer has any funtion when pressing it. The menu button is simply disabled after the unit is on. I could NOT get any menu on screen to browse for any more function other than viewing the current song. There is no way to use radio and recorder. There are two ways to turn it off: take out the battery or press Pause button and wait 1 minute. The Lock button works as expected and is not the cause of the problems I mentioned. I can load songs into it but can only play the songs one by one in the order and there is no shuffle play. SanDisk won't replace it becuase it's past the 1 year wanrannty period. I don't blame that they stick on their policy. But this is apparently a defective one that could not pass quality control at the first place let along being on market. No more SanDisk to me.

Review title: Flaws Product review: Finally watched movie. There were 2 separate spots on DVD that stopped the movie and was very hard to get it playing again. Missed parts of the movie because of it. No reason for a new DVD to do this.
