Title: Some outstanding songs and some I didnt care for.... Review: I enjoy Loreena McKennit's cds and have everyone but the Winter one. Samain Night and Moon Cradle are wonderful songs giving that sense of mystical storytelling. Huron "Beltane" Fire Dance is a wonderful song to dance to as well as meditate to!! Annachie Gordon is another song, such as "The Bonny Swans", in which it tells a tale. My favorite song of all (besides the fire one) is Standing Stones. Once again it is another storytelling song, but she gives it a very ghosty, errie feeling that will send chills down your spine!! I agree that Dicken's Dublin seems as though it is struggling to work between the childs voice and the music. Overall, this is definately a cd worth having! Is this product review negative?

Title: Excellent stories by an author who died too young. Review: Richard McKenna is a name rarely recognized by readers. However, he has written one very famous novel that was turned into an equally famous movie; The Sand Pebbles.Besides this novel this work contains his only other easily available work. This work deserves close study since it shows him to be a remarkable story teller and a maritime author in the class of Conrad, Hemingway, and Patrick O'Brien.McKenna's most remarkable skill is his evenhanded approach to both sympathetic and unsympatehtic characters. He writes stories that deal with human interaction, but never has to resort to the use of villains to add tension to the story.McKenna's back ground as a sailor and an author who did not put pen to paper until late in live must have contributed to this remarkable gift.

Title: THIS BOOK WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE Review: I only wish I had seen this book before suffering a heart attack at 42. In seeking to change my life, I read six decent books on overcoming heart attacks before finding this one. Friends, this book has more great information than the six previous books I read combined. Mogadam should get an award for writing it. Every single page has great information. It even addressed one area -- lipoprotein A -- that caused my heart attack that very, very few others even note. Do yourself or a loved one a favor, buy this book now and make the changes that will save your life. It's easy to read, take notes and implement. Is this product review negative?

Title: Talese still has what it takes. Review: I listened to Arthur Morey (very engagingly) read this book on CD while I commuted by car or bicycle, ran or just walked the dog. It's that kind of book and no more. Your mind can wander and pick up the thread in no time. Talese is an interesting, shrewd, charming, moderately wise and becomingly modest man in his early seventies. I doubt that Nan Talese--his tough-minded editorial wife--approved the needless repetitions and the loose organization. Yet the reader comes to appreciate how Talese was able to approach and ultimately master the more disciplined works of his earlier years about the New York Times, where he once was a reporter, or the Mafia. Anyone considering free-lance journalism as a profession should read this book. Talese is no genius, but he has proven over time that he has what it takes. Is this product review negative?
