Review title: Superb career retrospective of a unique talent... Product review: Bill's gravelly voice takes some getting used to, but it is definitely worth the effort. Once you "get him" his clever and powerful songs, mostly about life's troubled ordinary folks, will hold your interest through many hearings. He has been recording about 20 years, and these 20 tracks are indeed among his best efforts. I've owned three of the CD's, and love two of them. This collection is a fine introduction...some sad songs, some funny ones, but all well done. If you think you really like singer-songwriters, give Bill a chance. Listen at this three times before deciding you don't like him. I'm betting his writing talent will hook you first, and as you listen, you will realize this fellow is a fine musician. I hated his voice when I first heard it, by by the fourth song I was mellowing, and by the second listening to that disc, I was a fan. This is a very interesting mind to follow in folk music.

Review title: In the the good news department... Product review: ...I am finished with this book. In the bad news department, I already bought two more books by this author and now am stuck with them.I supposed this will sound picky, but in this novel - and in the previous novel in this series - the author uses the terms "in the good/bad news department" so many times that it made me cringe. I couldn't enjoy the book because of it. She did this in a previous novel and I think seeing it again in this novel, so often and from so many points of view, just ruined the book for me.

Product review: I bought this book as an introduction to the spacial apperception and aviation information sections of the ASTB. There are so many errors in the book that I started the test more confused than I would have been if I hadn't tried to study. The spacial apperception test wasn't even close to the kinds of study questions in this book and the mechanics section was far less technical than this study guide led me to believe. The officer administrating the test told me afterward that they usually recommend the ARCO guide and now I know why.
