Review title: Self-publishing at its most mediocre Product review: With the difficulties faced by writers getting their work published, many have turned to self-publishing, and Mark Roeder seems to be one of those authors. But the merits of getting a book published by even a small press is an editor, something Roeder sorely needs. Typos, run-on sentences and stilted grammer make this problematic.He also doesn't seem to have a grasp on wrestling, a sport that's much, much better covered in the utterly fantastic PINS, where the author describes that world much better. PINS is also a literary book, but "Someone" doesn't go very deep, and while covering a topic very popular - teen jocks - it just doesn't carry it off. The author would do well to spend a few bucks having a qualified editor go through his next manuscript before sending it off to IUniverse.

Review title: Disappointment Product review: Watching Sucker Punch was like watching a video game....except there are video games that are more sophisticated then this film. If I had to guess, I would say the movie had more to do with making a quick buck then actually satisfying an audience. Basically, the plot involved the protagonist devising a set of tasks to escape the asylum where she was wrongfully committed....which might sound like an intriguing premise, but when you actually see the movie the lack of reasonable explanations for the steps to her plan in addition to how easily the other girls at the institution go along with them....well, it was just ridiculous. If you read, I'd recommend checking out The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox instead.

Product review: First of all, I downgraded this from 5 to 4 stars because of the packaging only. It comes packed in a plastic pouch that makes it very difficult to use every last bit. As far as the good stuff, I betcha this is what they use in Thai restaurants for panang curry. It is the simplest thing I've found when I'm really jonesing for some great curry - add some coconut milk (the real thing, not that lite junk), a little fish sauce, some sugar, and whatever veggies you have around - red bell pepper, carrots, zucchini, a nice fat serrano chili - maybe a little chicken - ladle it over some brown rice - voila! A great meal. I have kept this in the fridge for over six months at a time with no molding or spoilage whatever. Try it!
