Product review: Dan Brown's DA VINCI CODE did it first and, most definitely, did it best! Now the genre is overcrowded with wannabes, copycots and third-rate knock-offs! I'll keep this review short and sweet. If I hadn't read THE DA VINCI CODE several years ago, I might have enjoyed this one to the tune of 3 stars. As it is, I found it tedious, plodding, derivative and little more entertaining than a video game with an endless string of puzzles and undeveloped cardboard characters ... in short, 1 star at best. Since there are probably still a handful of people for whom this might be the first time they've encountered a masons and templars novel, I'll allow it 2 stars.Not particularly recommended.Paul Weiss

Review title: Great Simple Phone Product review: If you are looking for a very basic phone - if you do not care about speaker phones, 2 lines, answering functions and the like, this is a great phone. What it does, and will do both perfectly and forever with great clarity of sound, is it will answer all the calls coming into your line, and will dial all your calls going out. It is powered through the phone line, so you do not need a outlet. And, actually, the white version is under [...] - black cost a little more. If you are old as I am and are use to things like phones and refrigerators lasting more than 20 years, this is the phone for you.
