Review title: Keep your hands off the Kerouac Product review: The stuff that is in it's original form (or at least close to it) is great. "Ain't We Got Fun", "Come Rain or Come Shine", and especially the reading from On the Road all sound great. This could have actually been a decent 40-minute CD. But why screw around with Jack's work? The pieces with newly recorded backing tracks are awful, they remind me of the Sinatra "Duets" stuff where there was no connection between Sinatra and his collaborators. It's like Ted Turner colorizing old classics. And I love Tom Waits, but what is he doing on this collection? Unfortunately, a lame concept. Get the Rykodisc boxset, it's the real deal.

Review title: A tremendous war Product review: This was simply one of the most brutal boxing matches of all time. Non-stop action for 14 rounds. Plus this video has the entire fight and even the pre-fight introductions. The only drawback are the lousy TV commentators: Don Dunphy, Ken Norton, Flip Wilson, and Hugh O'Brien. I'd rather hear Howard Cosell; at least he knew how to properly describe the action.

Review title: Unscholarly yet boring Product review: How Mr Milne managed it, I have no idea. But this book is a turgid mess with nothing to say about Mr Hill's poetry besides the platitudinous. This would be expected and perhaps even acceptable in a scholarly book eager to display its credentials, but Mr Milne doesn't even bother to include references to his quotations from critics infinitely more interesting than himself. Upon finding no page references or footnotes to quotations from Peter McDonald and Conor Cruise O'Brien, I eagerly flicked to the back of the book, seeking a bibliography- but I was twice disappointed, for it consisted of five books, and nothing more. Appalling.

Review title: From the back of the book: Product review: This book encourages and reassures anyone who wants to embark on the adventure of setting aside one day for God. The clear structure offers gentle guidance through the day, beginning at dawn and ending before bedtime. The one day for God includes silence and Scripture reading, reflection and prayer, exercise and relaxation. Besides being a guide to retreat, the book offers inspiration and practical suggestions to all who find prayer hard work and spiritual life in need of guidance.
