Review title: The Ultimate Compilation Product review: This is surely the best Clannad's collection. It offers us a precise cross-section of their already 30 years old work, including tracks from those first, pure folk albums, over very rare live recordings, eighties-pop, to nineties, in which they managed to keep their place at the throne of Irish folk, but ambiental and new age music as well. This compilation should stand at the end of every Clannad-fan's collection.

Product review: I've been a Koontz fan for years. Even so, this book was such a surprise! In all the horror books that Koontz has written, he has obviously been honing his skills as a suspense-thriller author. This book truly kept me awake nights, trying to find out what happens next. I had to force myself to put it down and at least one night, I lost a whole night's sleep because I couldn't leave Jimmy without finding out what happens next. I agree with the reviews that say the family dynamics are all warm and fuzzy, but for me, the real appeal was the hold-your-breath suspense. So many authors get stale after they have written many, many novels. But, in Life Expectancy, Koontz seems to have broken through to a new level of excitement. Here's a virtual standing ovation from an author who, as trite as it sounds, is truly not getting older, but better! Good job!

Product review: "the book of masks" is a fascinating, engrossing read from the first page on. gourmont offers poignant commentary on the worth of each individual writer, although more often than not he lets his personal view distort the actual facts of the various writers' lives. the only writer i didn't like in this collection was andre gide, an eye watering bore who shouldn't really be categorized as a 'decadent', i don't think. and the story by moreas about the mother coming onto her son was a bit nasty. but all of these stories have beautiful touches of mystical, otherworldly, occult and sometimes perverse elements to them. a must
