Review title: Falls apart Product review: While a good idea, the truck is poorly made. The truck pieces that hook together fall apart whenever my 4-yr. old son tries to roll it across the floor, and he ends up very frustrated. I ordered a replacement for it, thinking we just had a defective one, but the new one has the exact same problems. You're better off spending your money on something else.

Review title: Overall an Excellent Book Product review: I am a professional c++ programmer with lots of experience in Unix X Windows programming. Recently, I migrated to win32/windows application development. My transition was made easier by this book."Introduction to MFC Programming" is truly an excellent book. It provides a good introduction to the fundamentals of MFC programming before proceeding to advanced topics. Most other MFC/Windows programming books I have read were "cookbooks". But this book is structured very well starting with an introduction to Utility classes using console applications, followed by event handling and handcrafted MFC programs before moving onto advanced topics. Knowledge of c++ is assumed.Overall an excellent book.

Review title: LESS THAN GREAT Product review: The second time I ever used this radio the Weather Band had evidently stopped working. Not sure if the switch malfunctioned or if the radio itself malfunctioned, but either way it ended up being a waste of money since the weather band function was what I bought it for in the first place. The thing's buttons feel really cheap in your hands. At least the AM/FM portion of the radio still works alright, for now.. Anybody want to buy a broken Eton radio for cheaper than they sell them broken from right out of the box?? <crickets>

Review title: Drew mystery book Product review: Arrived in good shape; appreciated the look of the cover; was sold as "new" but recipient informed me that it had sticky notes throughout, indicating "used"--not what I wanted to give:( Also packaging was not secure in that the book fell out of the package as we were trying to open it.
