Review title: Can't bring myself to finish it... Product review: This is the first Cruise book I ever picked up and I don't want to finish it. I'm 2/3 of the way done and just don' care what's going to happen. (maybe because I already have an idea)The whole plot seems farfetched and outrageous (meeting someone in a dark closet and making out with them?!?!?) and as someone else mentioned there are way too make characters which takes away from the main characters because you have to stop and wonder "who the heck is that.." And at the beginning, the dual-personality thing is very confusing; I had no idea who the heck Louise was. And the songs from the jukebox - are they actual songs or made up to fit into the storyline? Also, most of the characters are tennants of the Goodnights...why do they act like family and help out around the building??? Makes no sense to me...All in all, I don't think I'll pick up another one of her novels.

Review title: Pathetic Product review: So far I'm pretty disgusted with this unit. I think I played one DVD on it. It did sit for a few months without use, and when I came back, the unit will no longer recognize any disc at all. JVC web site is completely useless. Now I have to waste time bringing the unit to a service center. We'll see if they'll cover the warranty. Since its longer than three months, I'm sure they'll charge me labor. What a scam!! Don't waste your money!

Review title: Grimaud plays Chopin: Chopin loses Product review: This is my first encounter with Grimaud's playing and I can't say I enjoyed it much. Grimaud pounds the first two movements of the Chopin sonata into submission, rarely stopping to pause for breath or reaching anything below a forte. As for her "gorgeous tone" (as Dan Davis puts it), her sound gives a rich new meaning to "chalky." Her attempts at lyrical playing in the Trio of the Funeral March and the Berceuse are remarkably metronomic, and her trills in the latter are distictly unmagical. I suppose some will regard such playing as "powerful," but to me its mostly noisy. The Barcarolle is somewhat better, though no competition for the likes of Moravec and Lipatti. The Rachmaninov sonata, a remarkable piece of junk, fares better in Grimaud's heavy hands, but I doubt if I'll be listening to this cd in the future.
