Q: Title: Started slow, but then picked up... Product review: This book started a little slow for me. I was almost to the point were I thought about giving up (something I hate to do) when the story and pace picked up and I found myself getting totally engrossed.There is a "cut to the chase" quality about the writing that I really enjoyed. There is no unnecessary dialog and description, just enough to put you in the moment. I particularly liked the fact that there is no clearly defined time and place in which this story is happening (although the President Kennedy reference leads the reader to believe it's the early 1960's.) This story could be taking place anywhere - a South American country, the Dominican Republic or a southern US state.I liked the character of Isabel a great deal. You can really feel her desperation and loneliness. She'll stay with me for a long time. A four star recommendation only because of the slow start.

Q: Title: Ever-warped body Product review: My daughter wanted this rather expensive Barbie primarily because it said on the back "Ever-flex body" and showed the doll with the waist bent. She and I assumed that Ever-flex meant flexible. Given the bizarre angle shown, it never occured to us that anyone would sell a doll locked permanently in such a strange stance.We would not have purchased this doll, even at half the price, if their packaging had been honest. 'Ever-flex' means that the waist will never, never flex. It's locked that way forever.On the other hand, my daughter likes the clothes, and maybe she'll have fun with the karaoke machine. This might be worth buying once it goes on sale, but keep in mind that you'll be stuck with a permanently weird-looking doll that will never stand or sit straight. If the makers of this doll believe that there's a market for that, then they should have been honest about it on the packaging.

Q: Title: One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Product review: The description of this so called movie is misleading. Do not waste your time or money. The "acting" is atrocious and the camera work is the same. I could not even get past 7 minutes before I turned it off, ejected it, broke the disk up into several pieces and threw it in the trash.
