Title: It's All True Review: I first encountered this gem in 1968 and I have kept a copy on my shelf since that time. I re-read it every few years and still find tears in my eyes, remembering doing the very same things to friends and scoutmasters. More than just a fun read, though, the book has some real lessons in it.I have thought many times about his soliliquy on symbols and the three "Eagles with Water Wings" who cheated their ways to the rank of Eagle. Cochran knew it and took away their badges until they went through all the steps again, the right way. Only one made it and he was doubtless a better man for it.If you are a scoutmaster or the parent of a scout, this is a "must read." Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Shamefully Flawed Review: Heaney's translation, while immensely popular, is inaccurate at crucial moments. He seems to simply make up his own translation, even when a literal reading would have been equally intelligible and poetic, while preserving the original sense of the poem. The shame in this is that Heaney's work is becoming the "definitive edition," even in schools. There are obviously much better translations for scholars. For the casual reader, I suggest Liuzza's excellent work:Beowulf (Broadview Literary Texts) (Broadview Literary Texts Series) Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Mole Chaser Windmill Review: I've had a dozen of these, and they worked for me until the 'short-life' bearing fell apart and my last remaining one went kaput. Only if they used a sealed bearing would I buy any more, unless the price dropped to $4.95 with free shipping. I've gone to the solar one and so far it is working... Is the review positive or negative?
