Review title: Wonderful book about a courageous woman Product review: I couldn't put this book down! Nancy Wake recently passed away and when I read her obituary, I knew I had to find out more about her. She showed such courage and strength, plus an amazing level of ingenuity, during her years with the Resistance in WWII France.

Review title: Facinating Journey Product review: This book is about Ted Simon's experince of riding around the world. Not only does he write about his actual experinces, but he also writes about how he feels. Some parts of the trip are glossed over in just a paragraph while others take pages and pages. It was very interesting to see hwo he felt the trip changed his life. I would have given the book five stars, but it bogs down in places. This book is more about an adventure around the world than it is about motorcycling. Overall, it is a great story and worth reading.

Review title: Tiresome Product review: I love several of Larry McMurtry's early novels, such as Horseman, Pass By and The Last Picture Show. This novel is reminiscent of these great novels (all are set in Thalia, Texas), but falls short. As usual, McMurtry depicts quite flawlessly the atmosphere of growing up in Texas. The main character of Gideon is multi-dimensional and intriguing, but Molly and Johnny remain enigmas. That situation makes for a long read, especially once the main point of view shifts away from Gideon in the later half of the book. At this early point in his career, McMurtry also did not seem to understand women - seeming to view them as existing primarily to tease and please men. The story gains momentum and the characters become richer as it prgresses, but by that point, I was just wanting to get through the book.

Review title: Worst $0.9999 cents spent ever!!! Product review: I found this last night at the 0.99 cent store (well the $0.9999 round up to a dollar store). The part that suckered me in was the Director of Metropolis, and the Creator of Aeon Flux. The part that really set the mood of the series to me was the theme song, after that my attention pretty much wandered off. Its pretty clear why this ended up at the $0.99 cent store.
