Title: Inspiring yet troubling--and somewhat contradictory Review: I agreed with the basic premise of the book. I'm all for living a simpler and richer life. And I agree with Elgin's ideas about accomplishing this at a personal level, using individual creativity and imagination to work out our problems. But I was very troubled when Elgin started proposing things like massive taxes on gasoline, tobacco, and alcohol to force people to change their way of living. Once again I hit my head against the wall of "liberal thinking": great ideas, but always forced upon us by big government. If Elgin had stayed the course and argued for individual change through education and personal enlightenment (and leave the government out of it), I would have given the book five stars.

Title: Worst mp3 player on the market Review: I purchased the RCA lyra mini-jukebox six months ago for $200 and it has entirely and completely died on me. I contacted RCA about a replacement and they were unhelpful and unfriendly in addressing my problem. Their only solution was to pay $60 to have the unit replaced, with no guarantee of how long the unit would last after that. I would never purchase this product again, as it was slow, had terrible sound quality, was difficult to use while doing anything active, and came with terrible software. I will never purchase anything RCA made again, and I hope readers of this will never purchase this product. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: what a MESS !!! Review: This movie was a mess, a co-working said he couldnt stop laughing and it was suppose to be such a great movie.. Well i was highly disapointed, it was only slightly smarter than the lastest batch of teen spoof movies and lampoon garbage (long disgracing the lampoon's title Chevy Chace helped create) Back on topic this had the potential to be such a funny movie, and it simply tried to hard on most fronts, i thought the funny stuff felt forced and the story line was sloppy, Rapper ice cube played the Captain and he came across as way to angry of a "angry black man".. I could go on and on but in short i guess im happy i only spent a dollar to rent it, im more upset i wasted my time watching it.. 2 stars for a few, and i do mean a few mild laughs..

Title: Bleachers by John Grisham Review: Eeeek! This is the first Grisham book I'm not buying. "John, Man, I miss your usual strong and wondrous writing voice." Is the review positive or negative?
