Product review: A very good book.As most have already said, it's a combination of autobiography _and_ book on writing. I really enjoyed the autobiography, it's compact, fast paced and tremendously entertaining. King remembers a few moments of his life in several small 'snapshots', as he puts it, which make for great reading and great insight into King, the writer.The book on writing is not quite as good. Most of what King has to say is common sense. It's always interesting, though, to hear his voice, and he writes it in a way that encourages the reader, whether or not he or she intends to ever write, to actually sit down and do it. You get to know, also, in the end, what happened to King right before, during, and after his terrible accident a few months back.Fans will definitely read (and appreciate) this book no matter what any reviewer says, but non-fans and even King's detractors, I believe, would like _On Writing_.

Review title: Too bad 'The Best of All Possible Candides' is already taken... Product review: Seriously. A DVD of a musical written by one of the best musical theater composers (or composers, period, for that matter) with the music performed by one of the best orchestras in the world (the full-size New York Philharmonic, rather than what today would be the inevitable 12-person pit orchestra) with the revised and much truer-to-Voltaire book and starring at least two of the best all-around musical theater performers working today. As the DVD itself indicates, typically finding a Cunegonde who can hit all of the low and high notes usually means finding a humorless opera singer who isn't at all believable as a love interest. Thank you Kristen Chenoweth for being one of the exceptions to the rule. And thank you Leonard Bernstein, Lillian Hellman, Tyrone Guthrie, Harold Prince, Barbara Cook, Stephen Sondheim, Hugh Wheeler, and all the others who have brought 'Candide' to this current, excellent form.

Review title: Truly dreadful Product review: If you want to end up as a lonely bitter eternal single this is the manual to follow. Women would be outraged if they found a book like this advising men to act like complete creeps towards them.If you want a quality partner in your life for more than a one night stand, you have to treat them with respect.Don't waste your money on this pathetic book for the sad Sex & the City spinstresses.
